"Clang!" Afterward, Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren left the small valley on two quality-grade Flying Swords.
The little white flew from the First Layer of Heaven to the Fifth Layer of Heaven, feeling somewhat exhausted. It thus hid in Hao Ren's芥子空間to rest.
Before losing her dragon pill, Zhao Yanzi had already reached a Shaking Realm level; her foundation was not bad at all. Therefore, she merely practiced the basic Sword Technique once before mastering it effortlessly. Naturally, riding and controlling the Flying Sword presented no issues for her.
In the past, when on land, Zhao Guang worried that Zhao Yanzi might act recklessly, so he never taught her how to fly with a Flying Sword. Zhao Yanzi had never flown freely until now in the Fifth Layer of Heaven; she could skillfully control the Flying Sword at her Condensation Realm level. This sense of freedom made her very happy.
She used up her spiritual energy, speeding up her flight. Hao Ren flew steadily beside her. At the Fifth Layer of Heaven's realm classification, Hao Ren was a Core Formation cultivator now, while Zhao Yanzi was merely at the Qi Condensation Realm. They differed by two major realms. Therefore, Hao Ren could easily catch up to Zhao Yanzi’s speed just by slightly circulating his spiritual energy.
This Flying Sword speed equated to an average of 80 kilometers per hour; it wasn't much faster than a bicycle's pace. However, the sensation of flying in midair and controlling one's direction and speed was far beyond what a bicycle could offer.
With winds like paintings, Zhao Yanzi laughed as she stepped on her Flying Sword.
Hao Ren flew steadily beside her; seeing how happy she looked made him smile slightly. Zhao Yanzi wasn't just the Princess of the Dragon Palace but also a regular middle school girl.
She could finally escape from the sea of homework and fly freely here, so how could she not be delighted
The two Flying Swords flew side by side; towering mountains surrounded them with refreshing breezes. This scene could easily be mistaken for that of a fairy couple's life.
"Hao Ren, look over there!" Excitedly, Zhao Yanzi grabbed Hao Ren’s arm and pointed to the right front.
Amidst several flat mountain slopes, some grand halls were built into the mountains; neat staircases led up. This obviously indicated a formal cultivation sect in the Fifth Layer of Heaven.
Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi flew on their Flying Swords and could see these buildings, meaning they had already entered this sect's territory. Hao Ren didn’t understand formations and thus was unaware that flying into it instantly activated their protective array formation. Just as Zhao Yanzi spoke, around fifty to sixty cultivators wielding swords suddenly appeared and surrounded Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi.
Each of these cultivators stood on Flying Swords, meaning they each had two swords: one for flight and one for attack. This was clearly inferior compared to Su Han's white jade longsword.
Facing this sudden ambush, Zhao Yanzi felt somewhat discouraged; she originally wanted to sneak into their library or alchemy room out of curiosity but hadn't even gotten close before being surrounded.
The two Core Formation cultivators leading the assault were among those surrounding Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi. The sect Hao Ren entered wasn’t a major one in the Fifth Layer of Heaven, but it was still well-known. It had around seven to eight Core Formation cultivators. Two Core Formation cultivators could easily handle Hao Ren—one Core Formation cultivator plus an apprentice—and several Foundation Establishment disciples joined in as well.
Seeing Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren’s strange attire indicated they possessed many treasures, especially the two quality-grade Flying Swords under their feet. Since擅自闖入was a death sentence without permission, surrounding them to eliminate these two small cultivators would allow them to claim their belongings. The two Core Formation cultivators made such calculations.
"We are elders of White Sand Sect; here's our wooden token!" Seeing that each person looked suspicious and definitely had ulterior motives, Zhao Yanzi took out the"Jade Listening Elder’s" wooden token and threw it to them.
She lied without hesitation or blushing as if she really was Jade Listening Elder.
"White Sand Sect!" The cultivator who caught the wooden token looked at it, then at Zhao Yanzi with some suspicion. He handed it to a fellow cultivator beside him.
This cultivator examined the wooden token meticulously and nodded, "Indeed, this is a White Sand Sect identity token."
Zhao Yanzi pursed her lips, “Then why don’t you let us go”
Although she didn't know much about White Sand Sect, sending people to the First Layer of Heaven to investigate indicated it wasn’t a minor sect. From this perspective, her mind was quite sharp.
The cultivator smiled crookedly and put the wooden token in his pocket, drawing out his longsword from behind him: "But, little girl, we are indeed White Sand Sect."
"Uh," Zhao Yanzi’s face darkened; she froze up instantly.
"Swipe, swipe, swipe," the other monks also unsheathed their swords.
Including the flying swords under their feet, nearly a hundred sword blades shimmered in front of Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzǐ.
Faced with this situation, Hao Ren wanted to explain it, but many cultivators had already pounced over!
Sword techniques flashed one after another, all aimed at Hao Ren's vital points!
Their attack was meant to kill Hao Ren!
Even a Core Formation Stage cultivator might not have time to counterattack when facing an onslaught.
However, Hao Ren was not just any early-stage Core Formation cultivator,
Swish...
Like fireworks bursting into the sky, Hao Ren's body emitted a rainbow-colored sword light that formed a cylindrical barrier around him!
The five or six swords approaching were all snapped in half at the waist!
Hao Ren’s personality was such that even if he knew the two people he caught earlier today were Fifth Level Heaven cultivators, he would still let them go and not harm their lives. However, they had to face this cruel slaughter just because he accidentally entered白沙派's territory.
How could Hao Ren allow himself to be taken down
"Don't underestimate a Core Formation Stage cultivator! Form an array formation!" The leading cultivator raised his large sword and shouted, "Kill him. Divide the contents of his storage bag equally among us."
He was a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator himself, confident he could defeat Hao Ren. But since they were many in number, there was no need for them to directly confront Hao Ren.
Hearing this order, these Foundation Establishment disciples all became envious. The storage bag of a Core Formation cultivator must contain many good items; for the lower-level disciples of these basic sects on Fifth Level Heaven, getting even one item would be enough to make them excited for half a year!
Pills, magical treasures, and cultivation techniques!
Ignoring Hao Ren’s sharp sword light, the remaining cultivators rushed forward en masse.
"The female cultivator should be kept alive; she can serve as a furnace tripod!" A Core Formation Stage cultivator next to him added.
In cultivation paths where there are male practitioners, there are also female ones. Some male practitioners who cannot break through their limits at certain stages use female practitioners for yin and yang supplementation. Such female practitioners are often referred to as "furnace tripod."
This kind of thing is very common on Fifth Level Heaven and Sixth Level Heaven. Female cultivators become appendages of male ones, and sometimes male cultivators forcibly take the lives of female ones just for their own cultivation advancement!
Such words touched Hao Ren's底線.
A white sword light flew out from Hao Ren’s fingertips and directly pierced this rude cultivator’s mouth!
In an instant, a grayish-white giant sword凝聚成形, sweeping across the sky and forcefully repelling dozens of Foundation Establishment disciples!
Clatter...
The flying swords used as aerial magic tools scattered everywhere. Those disciples who had surrounded Hao Ren all rolled down the hillside in pain.
Zhao Yanzǐ didn't hear what that cultivator shouted just now and couldn’t figure out why Hao Ren suddenly became so angry. But, seeing Hao Ren’s stern face and sudden anger made him think he looked quite cool,
The giant sword, which was grayish-white in color, shattered with a bang. It formed small and delicate sword lights resembling bees and butterflies, surrounding Hao Ren.
Standing on the flying sword at this moment, Hao Ren seemed like an apex Sword God; no one could come close to him! His tiny sword lights surrounded Zhao Yanzi as well; anyone who dared approach would be overwhelmed by sword qi from all directions!
"How dare you resist!" The cultivator of mid Core Formation stage didn’t expect Hao Ren to be so formidable, but after calming down and assessing the situation, he saw that Hao Ren truly only had the realm of early Core Formation. Thus, he took out his iron fan and swung it towards Hao Ren.
In his view, Hao Ren’s impressive display was due to a very powerful treasure. If he could kill Hao Ren, this treasure would fall into his hands!
Therefore, he didn’t hold back in his attack!
Three beams of black light shot out from the iron fan and instantly shattered Hao Ren’s tiny sword lights!
In the sect, upon receiving the information, the Foundation Establishment disciples rushed out one after another. Even those few seniors who had remained in the main hall couldn’t wait to rush out.
Hao Ren’s appearance stirred their entire sect into action!
“Kill!”
Two hundred cultivators flew toward Hao Ren, instantly filling the air with killing intent. Various strange treasures were directed at him.
Zhao Yanzi hadn’t expected to trigger such a commotion and was about to drag Hao Ren away when those three beams of black light suddenly changed direction詭異的變換方向，把她從郝仁身邊勾出去！， pulling Zhao Yanzi out from Hao Ren’s vicinity!
Dragging Zhao Yanzi toward the mid Core Formation cultivator, while reaching for her with one hand and frantically searching her body with the other. According to their rules, whoever caught an enemy first would get their storage bag! And a delicate-looking beautiful female cultivator like Zhao Yanzi was even more valuable!
Seeing these sword-immortal-like cultivators acting like bandits, Hao Ren wouldn’t allow them to touch Zhao Yanzi’s body. A grayish-white sword qi stabbed towards them; with a series of crisp sounds, those three black beams were cut off!
The Chaos Divine Thunder shattered everything under the five elements!
Uncontrolled, Zhao Yanzi couldn’t hold onto her flying sword and fell hard into the grassy hill below. Luckily, she didn’t hit any rocks.
"Even a trapped beast fights back!" The other few mid Core Formation cultivators launched their treasures at Hao Ren.
Busy rescuing Zhao Yanzi, Hao Ren neglected himself; these piles of treasures crashed down on him.
Of course, his body had been tempered by heavenly lightning and wasn’t that frail. He endured the impact with his body without dying instantly!
Still, it was also because those treasures weren’t particularly high-grade.
Seeing Hao Ren still alive after enduring so many attacks from treasures, these few mid Core Formation cultivators and numerous Foundation Establishment cultivators firmly believed he possessed some precious treasure. Thus, their desire to seize the treasure intensified even more.
A second wave of treasures followed closely behind.
This time, even those Foundation Establishment cultivators joined in; various kinds of treasures and hundreds of flying swords rained down on Hao Ren like a hailstorm!
Bang!
Every acupoint on Hao Ren’s body burst open collectively!
The hidden sword qi sprayed out like raindrops!
A thousand blades! Ten thousand blades!
These Core Formation Realm elders had never seen so many swords!
Fist of Metal, Wood Sword, Water Spear, and Earth Rod, form an array!
The Two Dragons Emerging from the Water formation! A dense mesh of sword beams intertwined with each other like yin and yang in the Tai Chi symbol, freezing time and space.
Boom...
The delicate sword beams transformed into mature sword energy, instantly shredding the magical treasures thrown by the Core Formation Realm cultivators.
At a critical moment, Hao Ren comprehended the second layer Sword Array in his sword manual—the Two Dragons Emerging from the Water formation!
A surging tide of spirit energy devoured everything!
The two opposing forces formed an inverted tornado, tearing apart space around them.
Two Core Formation Realm cultivators who were eager to grab Hao Ren's magical treasures were instantly sent flying by the residual sword energy.
The surging might of the Two Dragons Emerging from the Water formation was far beyond what could be compared with the Single-File Long Snake formation!
Over two hundred Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators still wanted to form an array to resist, but this immense force was already out of Hao Ren's control—let alone them!
Crack...
The surrounding trees snapped one after another. These Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were all blown away like pieces of paper.
Hao Ren took a step forward, and a batch of cultivators ran off in panic. At this moment, controlling flying swords was essentially courting death; running down the slope recklessly might be their only hope of survival.
The deployment of sword energy also broadened Hao Ren's meridians, allowing him to reach the Profound Aperture realm as his Dragon Dan cracked with a loud popping sound!
A fierce gale blew Hao Ren’s hair into disarray, giving him an aura that was intimidating and inviolable.
Hao Ren walked over to Zhao Yanzi's side and gently pulled her up.
Zhao Yanzi felt a tingle in the palm of her hand as she raised her head. She saw tiny bolts of lightning flickering in Hao Ren’s eyes.
Hao Ren held out his finger, and the sword energy intertwined with each other followed his arm to blast toward the grand hall on the opposite side of the valley.
Bang!
The magnificent Propagation Hall was directly reduced to rubble by this fierce sword qi!
It should be noted that there were three or four overlapping defensive arrays set up in the Propagation Hall!
A fine sword beam returned, and the palm of a Core Formation Realm cultivator who had attempted to sneakily grab Zhao Yanzi was instantly pierced by an inch-thick hole.
The two flying swords that had lost all their aura energy were now transformed into a giant sword by Hao Ren's sword qi, lifting him and Zhao Yanzi up.
Concentrate the essence to form a sword; control it and ride it!
No need to talk about five. Not even five Core Formation Realm cultivators at the later stage could withstand Hao Ren’s wrath!the space capacity of Hao Ren’s necklace, it was still spacious enough for Little White.Hao Ren smiled slightly and walked toward his room.He obtained the jade slip left to him by Zhao Haoran today bu...
