Chapter 284

Once Sword Two moved, all the other Sword Sons, except for Su Shan, followed suit.

At the same time, the spiritual energy of the sword formation erupted, making a dull explosive sound.

“Boom!!”

The myriad sword shadows once controlled by Su Shan instantly went out of control and began to attack indiscriminately from above.

Sounds of “swoosh, swoosh” were heard.

Several cultivators watching the scene hadn’t even realized what was happening when their chests were pierced by sword shadows, blood gushing out like water, and they perished in an instant.

“The sword formation is in chaos, run!!” a cultivator shouted angrily.

But he had barely taken a step when he felt something binding his ankle.

Looking down, he broke out in a cold sweat!

It was the sword light from five ancient swords also in chaos!

The sword light turned into locks, spreading like branches and vines, binding everything in sight!

The cultivator struggled with all his might, but since his spiritual energy was locked, he could only watch helplessly as a sword shadow fell and pierced through his body.

“I… I refuse to accept this!” the cultivator shouted in anger before falling to the ground.

Indeed, it was hard to accept.

He was just a bystander!

He had thought he would witness Jiang Chen being pierced by a thousand swords, but unexpectedly, he was the one to die.

If he had died at the hands of the demonic path, it would have been one thing, but his end came at the hands of his own allies!

The sword shadows continued to pour down like rain, and the range of the sword light turning into locks gradually expanded.

In just a few moments, a hundred cultivators died under the chaotic sword shadows.

Nangong Jiuxi, with her own strength, could barely resist, but Jiang Lianyue, who couldn’t use her cultivation for the time being, and Zhang Hu, with his lower cultivation, were powerless against the chaotic sword shadows.

Both were bound by the sword light, with several sword shadows bearing down on them.

Seeing this, Nangong Jiuxi quickly stepped forward and cut the golden locks on Jiang Lianyue with a single sword stroke, saving her life.

“…Thank you,” Jiang Lianyue said.

“Don’t thank me. If it weren’t for the fact that you’re often with Jiang Chen, I couldn’t care less about your life or death,” Nangong Jiuxi said with the air of someone looking at a ‘love rival’.

“Don’t worry,” Jiang Lianyue smiled.

“No one can replace your place in Jiang Chen’s heart.”

“Does that mean he likes me?” Nangong Jiuxi’s eyes lit up.

Jiang Lianyue didn’t respond.

In truth, she didn’t know what Jiang Chen’s feelings for Nangong Jiuxi were.

The only thing she knew was that through nine cycles of reincarnation, Nangong Jiuxi was one of the few who steadfastly stood by Jiang Chen’s side.

Although the existence of this woman seems deliberately arranged by fate, the red thread of their destinies is also connected by the heavens, and the purpose is to make Jiang Chen appear more villainous.

However, it cannot be denied that Jiang Chen could only feel cared for in front of Nangong Jiuxi and experienced heart palpitations.

Perhaps, this was what was meant to be.

Unfortunately, in the previous nine lives, what Jiang Chen resisted was his own ‘fate’!

In this life, what choice would Jiang Chen make?

Jiang Lianyue didn’t know, and neither did Xiao Hongyi and the others.

That being said, if anyone was qualified, Nangong Jiuxi indeed was the only one qualified to accompany Jiang Chen until old age.

“Fifth Senior Sister, save me!”

Just as Jiang Lianyue was lost in thought, Zhang Hu pleaded.

“Under these circumstances, where I can’t use my cultivation, just dodging is my limit. So, you do your best,” Jiang Lianyue said, indicating she was powerless to help.

Helpless, Zhang Hu turned to Nangong Jiuxi.

“The only man I would save is Jiang Chen,” Nangong Jiuxi replied instantly.

Zhang Hu’s heart sank in despair.

Looking at the sword shadows above his head, his face turned pale, and with tears in his eyes, he said, “I aspired to become a Way of the Poison Grandmaster, yet I never thought I would end up buried here…”

“Stop feeling sorry for yourself!”

Jiang Chen’s voice suddenly rang out, “When sword light turns into locks, the stronger the resistance, the stronger the lock. Seven segments form one lock. First, give up resisting, then use all your cultivation to strike at the seventh segment of the golden lock. The lock will undo itself!”

In the critical situation, Zhang Hu hurriedly followed the instructions.

Sure enough, the binding force of the golden locks formed by the sword light actually weakened as he stopped resisting.

And when he used all his cultivation to strike at the seventh segment of the golden lock, there was a “click” sound, and the golden lock entwining him actually shattered by itself!

“Senior Brother, you’re too awesome!” Zhang Hu couldn’t help but admire.

Jiang Chen didn’t respond. He simply rolled his eyes.

The Seven Luminaries Sword Formation is the famous sword formation of the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion.

Only the Seven Luminaries Six Sword Disciples and five Way of the Sword Grandmasters can set up this formation.

In his nine cycles of reincarnation, he was able to break the Seven Luminaries Sword Formation set up by five Way of the Sword Grandmasters, so what was this in comparison?

Furthermore, with one ancient sword missing, people like Su Shan could still form the formation, but its power was significantly weakened.

“Everyone, step back,” Jiang Chen instructed.

Although Nangong Jiuxi and the others were somewhat worried, they did as they were told.

After his own people had retreated, Jiang Chen, holding the blood sword, approached the Buddhist disciples of the Buddha Temple.

His movements were like a ghost, turning three steps into two, with each step blossoming into an azure lotus as if he could predict the landing point of each sword shadow.

The sword rain that filled the sky could not touch him.

He arrived in front of Ci En.

At this time, Ci En and many other monks were also struggling to resist the sword rain.

“Jiang Chen! Don’t come any closer! After the sword formation collapses, let’s have a fair fight to the death!” Ci En panicked in an instant.

“Bald donkey, don’t you know?” Jiang Chen said with a cold smile.

“Kicking someone when they’re down, looting a burning house, taking advantage of someone’s weakness, these are all basic tactics for me.”

Ci En was left speechless by the retort.

Jiang Chen immediately raised his hand and slashed out a blood sword qi wrapped in phoenix fire.

The sword qi tore through the air, rapidly reaching in front of Ci En.

With the sword rain above and the deadly sword qi in front, Ci En was in a panic.

Gritting his teeth, he channeled the Buddhist teachings within him with all his might, transforming into a golden body over thirty zhang tall and threw a punch with all his strength at the incoming sword qi.

Jiang Chen had only used thirty percent of his strength for this sword strike, so it was quickly dispersed by the punch.

But in that instant, several sword shadows poured down, and even though Ci En tried his best to dodge, his limbs were still pierced, and he fell to one knee, his golden body shattered.

Jiang Chen stepped forward, placing the blood sword on Ci En’s neck and asked, “Were you involved in the injuries on Nangong Jiuxi’s body?”

At this moment, Ci En’s face was dark on the verge of breaking apart.

Sensing the killing intent, he wanted to deny it. But he knew that Jiang Chen was asking a rhetorical question.

After all, the scars left by Buddhist techniques were obvious at a glance.

Since he was doomed either way, Ci En decided to go all out.

“Hahaha!”

He laughed wildly, his face no longer showing the demeanor of a high monk, replaced by a fierce and ferocious look.

He suddenly stood up, shouting continuously:

“Jiang Chen, let me tell you!”

“Not only did I injure Nangong Jiuxi, but ever since entering the secret realm, I have been relentlessly pursuing this witch!”

“If you want to blame someone, blame this witch for standing up for you!”

“This is what happened.”

“While Nangong Jiuxi and Su Shan were fighting, I took the opportunity to strike her back with a palm!”

“That palm made her vomit three liters of blood! If Su Shan hadn’t stopped in time, she would have undoubtedly died!”

“Thinking about it now, I should have been even more ruthless! It would have been better to kill her with one palm!”

“I must say, the two of you are truly a perfect match! Both were the same scourge of this world!”

“A pair of dogs!”

Before he could finish speaking, a streak of blood-colored sword light appeared at Ci En’s neck, and blood gushed out in an instant.

Holding his neck, Ci En seemed to want to say something more, but he could only spit out thick blood, soon falling to his knees and completely losing his vitality.

“Buddhist disciple? A high monk of the Buddhist Sect? That’s it?” Jiang Chen scoffed.
