Chapter 9

Ximen Shuai's move also intimidated Orchid and the Palace Master. The Palace Master was silent for a long time: "Ximen scoundrel, we can only fight to the death."

"Disciple Guyan of Yunqing Sect greets the senior." Guyan appeared, stepping on a sword.

These people, all with stubborn minds, if there is an alliance between Dao and Devil, you refuse to run away pretending to be unaware. If we make a fortune quietly, you refuse to do it as well.

"Senior?" Ximen Shuai laughed: "I am not a senior, I am only twenty years old this year."

Guyan was startled but still said: "There is an alliance between Dao and Devil, one cannot ignore the call for help."

"Interesting." Ximen Shuai looked at Guyan for a while, raised his fan: "Please."

The Zanyue Sword left its scabbard, striking directly at Ximen Shuai. Ximen Shuai held the sword with one hand and sighed: "Sigh..."

Suddenly, the sword light burst forth, cutting Ximen Shuai in half at the waist. Everyone was stunned for a moment, then only heard Ximen Shuai's voice from the air: "Indeed powerful."

Guyan did not raise his head, his fingers forming the sword seal, eight treasure swords left their scabbards, transforming into eight shadows and slashing upward. Looking at Ximen Shuai, an ancient sword appeared before him, circling around and blocking all the attacks. The ancient sword reversed, slashing toward Guyan. Guyan rode his sword, moving like a meteor, and was already five miles away in an instant.

" Sword Flight Technique!" Ximen Shuai's attack missed, and he was quite surprised. He gathered his true qi and asked: "Who is Gu Ping to you?"

"Unfamiliar." Guyan's fingers formed the sword seal, the eight swords condensed into one, and he rushed forward swiftly.

"Long heard that the Sword Flight Technique is a secret sword skill of the Gu family, capable of ensuring one's invincibility. It is a great honor to witness it today." Ximen Shuai retracted the ancient sword to protect himself. The eight swords continuously slashed, but could not break through the ancient sword. Ximen Shuai shouted: "See the magical treasure!" A Qiankun Ring flew from his fingertips, transforming into several dozen feet in size, trapping the eight swords. Ximen Shuai manipulated the spell, and the Qiankun Ring suddenly tightened, locking the eight swords, which immediately lost their light.

Guyan urged his true qi to resist, but Ximen Shuai shook his head: "Young man, your true qi cultivation is far below mine."

"Receive the spell!" Ye Wushuang took action, the spell scroll unfolded, and his finger touched the scroll: "Thunder Shock Light Spell!"

A thunderclap in the clear sky, an extremely intense light exploded in front of Ximen Shuai. Lin Fan cursed, his eyes turned white, and his ears were about to go deaf, making him lose his balance. He barely grabbed the corner of the table to prevent himself from falling. He hated such indiscriminate spells the most.

Casting a spell requires preparation, either through a medium like Lin Fan, or by forming the spell seal and reciting the true words. However, with the spell scroll, the spell can be instantly cast, and its power is greatly increased. According to the usual Thunder True Light Spell, the caster's body or hands would emit a strong, dazzling light, making nearby opponents easily perceive and defend against it, losing the element of surprise. Moreover, the spell itself has no killing power, making it a very useless spell. But with the spell scroll, it becomes useful.

"Golden Crow Flame." The caster is not disturbed, and the second spell is already cast.

The Golden Crow is the sun, and the Golden Crow Flame has nine levels, each level being a wave of flame. Ye Wushuang's cultivation is limited, and he only cast two waves of flame, but it was enough to make Ximen Shuai, who had not yet recovered, suffer.

Ximen Shuai was in a difficult position. He had investigated these four people, and their cultivation was shallow, but he did not expect the first person to use the Sword Flight Technique. To end the battle quickly, he used the Qiankun Ring to lock the flying sword. The second person came, using a magical treasure even higher than his Qiankun Ring. If not for just passing the Foundation Establishment stage, that spell scroll could have defeated him.

What about the other two?

Yunqing Mountain, the largest sect in Dongzhou, Ximen Shuai was wary.

The ancient sword protected him, and the flames rolled back. Although it made Ximen Shuai flustered, it did not break through the ancient sword's defense. Seeing the girl about to cast the third spell, Ximen Shuai decisively released the eight swords, and the Qiankun Ring directly attacked Ye Wushuang. Ye Wushuang was shocked, the spell scroll had a spirit, sensing the danger to its master, immediately circling around the master's body. The Qiankun Ring could not break through the spell scroll's defense, but their cultivation levels were different, and Ye Wushuang would be defeated in a few exchanges.

The eight swords, once free, were directed by Guyan to slash at Ximen Shuai again. Ximen Shuai had to retract his true qi, letting the Qiankun Ring temporarily trap Ye Wushuang, and focused on controlling the sword to deflect the eight treasure swords, and casually slashed at Guyan with the ancient sword, forcing Guyan to use the Sword Flight Technique to save himself.

This way, he could free his hands to deal with Ye Wushuang, but he forgot about the other two Yunqing Sect disciples.

"Three-star Formation, activate!"

A hundred spell talismans rose from the ground, converging at three points, surrounding Ximen Shuai.

What is this? Ximen Shuai did not dare to be careless and quickly recalled the ancient sword to protect himself. Ximen Shuai saw clearly and asked: "Heavenly Thunder Talisman?"

Here, we need to introduce the yellow paper as a medium. The yellow paper is an ordinary item, even if you are a Great Luo Golden Immortal, you cannot sense its existence, you can only identify it with your eyes. But because it is an ordinary item, its power also has limits. This is why, even with Lin Fan's talent for drawing talismans, the sect master required him not to ride a sword, to leave room for future growth. Of course, if you think Lin Fan can only draw talismans, you are definitely wrong.

Ximen Shuai's first question: Can a Heavenly Thunder Talisman hurt me? Second question: Where did so many Heavenly Thunder Talismans come from?

Lin Fan shouted: "Three times three is nine, nine times nine is one, slay demons and immortals, the cycle of heaven..."

Ximen Shuai was greatly alarmed, even recalling the Qiankun Ring...

On the side, Bai Mu was sweating, whispering in Lin Fan's ear: "Left, more left, that's the right."

"That's the left, that's the right."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was happening. Only Bai Mu and Lin Fan knew there was a problem. Bai Mu had the authority to set up the formation, and Lin Fan had the authority to activate the spell. Bai Mu did not understand and could not activate the spell talismans, while Lin Fan did not know how the formation evolved and which spell talisman to activate first.

Ximen Shuai, impatient, said: "Playing tricks..."

"Beautiful lady watching from above, if you have the guts, wait for us to figure it out." Lin Fan pointed at Ximen Shuai: "Unless you are afraid."

"..." Ximen Shuai was black-lined, daring to use words to provoke him, no one had ever dared to do that before. Fine! Ximen Shuai said: "Alright, I'll see what you can do."

Being able to spend seven days playing games with a girl, that's someone who deserves to be provoked.

Lin Fan and Bai Mu returned to the inn room. Bai Mu ran downstairs, the waiter was in a deep sleep. Bai Mu took a bowl of beans from the kitchen and started setting up the formation on the table: "This, this, this... nine together. This, this, this... nine together."

"Bai Mu, is this human work?" Lin Fan was frustrated, how could he remember this clearly? He couldn't possibly come back to the room to recite the next round after one round, right?

Ximen Shuai waited outside, and everyone could hear Lin Fan and Bai Mu's conversation... no, their argument. It turned out there was a formation, set up by two people. The one who knew how to set up the formation did not know how to activate the Heavenly Thunder Talisman, and the one who knew how to activate the Heavenly Thunder Talisman did not know how to set up the formation.
