Taiping Inn

There are two kinds of fighting in the martial arts world. One is to fight for life and death, and the other is to decide victory or defeat. Fighting for life and death means using all means, and it is important to have the right time, the right place, and the right people. That is a real fight, while deciding victory or defeat requires rules and stopping at the right time. At this time, the situation Li Xuandu encountered was to decide the victory or defeat rather than to fight for life and death, so Li Xuandu was not in a hurry to attack, waiting for the forty-nine people to set up their formation.

I saw that many Taiping sect disciples moved in an orderly manner, either in front or behind, first forming a small formation, the small formation was like one body, and then forming a large formation, from Tianshu to Yaoguang, the momentum was really extraordinary, surrounding Li Xuandu in the middle. If there were enough people, they could form a formation again with seven "Seven Stars Stars Formation", a total of 343 people, that is the "Seven Stars Stars Zhoutian Formation".

Li Xuandu was not afraid at all, and still stood with his hands behind his back. Many Taiping sect disciples pointed their swords at the ground, staring at Li Xuandu, and said nothing.

The leader shouted loudly, and in an instant, the forty-nine people disappeared together, becoming a drop in the ocean. Then they drew their swords, and no one knew where they were. Only the sound of breaking through the air was heard, comparable to the rain of arrows on the battlefield, which not only stirred up a gust of wind, but also the sword lights intertwined into a net of heaven and earth.

The leader shouted loudly: "Please let the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal draw his sword!"

Li Xuandu did not answer, but still faced the enemy with empty hands. He turned his body and faced the seven-man formation at the Tianji position. He formed the "Great Treasure Bottle Seal" with his hands and pushed forward, forcing the seven people to show their bodies. The seven people instantly formed a line, exchanged swords with their left hands, and put their right palms against the backs of their companions in front of them, blocking his move with the power of seven people. However, the "Great Treasure Bottle Seal" of the Vajra Sect is a superior method. It is not clumsy, but rather clever and simple. It is indeed the best method of using force in the world. It is stacked layer by layer, combining hardness and softness. At first, the hardness is like a landslide and a tsunami, which makes it difficult to resist. The seven people tried their best to block Li Xuandu's first hardness, but they did not expect that there was a second softness, like termites gnawing holes, which caused the thousand-mile long embankment to collapse.

The "Seven Stars Star Formation" formed by the seven innate masters was immediately broken, and the seven people staggered back, and some even sat down on the ground. Although the seven people immediately jumped up and formed a formation again, they were all in a mess and looked ashamed.

Shen Changsheng, who followed Bai Xiushang to watch the battle, saw this scene and couldn't help but secretly cheer in his heart. Although he was from the Taiping Sect, he was not familiar with these fellow disciples. He had been excluded a lot during this period of time. He was familiar with Li Xuandu, and Li Xuandu had saved his life, so he naturally hoped that Li Xuandu would win.

After Li Xuandu broke a small formation in an instant, the others were all shocked. The leader let out a long roar, leading the other six formations, which overlapped and pressed towards Li Xuandu. It was expected that no matter how strong Li Xuandu's realm was, he could not fight against the strength of forty-nine people with his own strength.

This is the terrifying part of the Jianghu Sect. No matter how high your personal realm is, you are afraid of being attacked by others. Even if he reached the level of a geomancer, he could fight the three great masters of the Creation Realm alone. If he was besieged by seven masters of the Creation Realm, he would still be in danger of death. Without the "human world", it was indeed difficult for Li Xuandu to fight against forty-nine people. Moreover, he was afraid that there would be other opponents behind him, and he did not want to waste too much energy here, so he turned his body, avoided the sharp edge, and began to fight.

Since the Taiping Sect had set up this "Seven Stars and Stars Formation", it was because of the strictness of this formation. The sword light was like water, and the shadows were like tides. As they came and went, the formation gradually tightened, and it became more and more difficult to run and dodge through the gaps. Li Xuandu, who was in it, felt the pressure suddenly increase, and there were enemies on all sides.

In an instant, twenty-eight swords attacked Li Xuandu. Li Xuandu's body shook, and a six-zhang-tall Guanyin Dharma image was born, removing the suffering of all living beings with a compassionate face. Unlike the golden statues of the Vajra Sect and the Jingchan Sect, this Guanyin statue is pure white. At first, Guanyin only had two hands clasped together, and then four hands, eight hands, and sixteen hands appeared behind her. In a blink of an eye, this Guanyin statue has thirty-six hands. There are no Buddhist instruments or willow branches in the hands of this Guanyin statue, only long swords of various shapes, some ancient and heavy, some light and thin, and some twisted like snakes, all of which exude a sharp sword aura.

Bai Xiushang once taught Li Xuandu part of the "Cihang Pudu Sword Canon" and immediately recognized that this was the third level of the "Hundred Swords Guanyin". She couldn't help but show admiration in her eyes. She didn't expect Li Xuandu's progress to be so rapid. With such qualifications, he is worthy of being Li Daoxu's most promising disciple.

Although Li Xuandu's attainments were far inferior to Bai Xiushang's, and the Guanyin Dharma Image only had thirty-six moves, it was enough to deal with the current situation. After the Guanyin Dharma Image appeared, the thirty-six moves rotated, and the thirty-six swords followed suit, allowing the Taiping Sect disciples' sword energy to surge, one sword against another, the sword shadows were gorgeous, the golden wind was overflowing, the sword energy was mighty, and a fine sword net was interwoven vertically and horizontally, colliding with the "Seven Stars Star Array", and countless metal clanging sounds became a continuous piece.

The mystery of "Hundred Swords Guanyin" lies in the complexity and variety of sword techniques and sword moves, which is really unimaginable. The thirty-six swords are thirty-six kinds of sword techniques, some are open and closed, some are slow and fast, some are like pear blossoms blooming, some are like strong grass in the wind, some are ancient and stagnant, some are as fast as thunder, like the breeze and the bright moon, and some are like golden swords and iron horses. Sometimes the sword moves are like a big river and a big tide that surges for three thousand miles; sometimes the sword moves are like a small bridge and flowing water that is endless. A variety of sword techniques with different styles are performed by Guanyin at the same time, blending together without any conflict, which is extremely unpredictable. It is not difficult for a martial arts master to master thirty-six sword techniques, but the difficult part is to multitask and master thirty-six different sword techniques at the same time.

Many Taiping Sect disciples had never seen such a mysterious move. Seven of them failed to retract their swords and were caught in the sword net. The seven swords were immediately broken in two. The long swords transformed by the Dharma image were all transformed by Qi, not some magical weapons. It was just that Li Xuandu's Qi was too strong, so the seven swords were broken together.

The seven Taiping Sect disciples were shocked and stunned for a moment. The two adjacent "Seven Stars Star Formation" immediately turned up and raised their swords to protect them. Guanyin Dharma Image did not care about how the opponent changed. He just used the sword technique and used the sword in his hand to intersect with the fourteen long swords, so that the fourteen swords were all fixed and motionless. Then he used Zhang Haishi's "Four Seas Tide Sword", and the sword was as violent as a tsunami. All fourteen long swords were broken, and none of them were spared.

The fourteen Taiping Sect disciples were extremely horrified and hurriedly retreated.

The leader shouted, "How do you know the swordsmanship of Cihang Sect?"

As soon as he said this, he regretted asking this unnecessary question. Li Xuandu was accompanied by Bai Xiushang on this mountain climbing trip, which shows that he has a close relationship with Cihang Sect. The swordsmanship of Cihang Sect was naturally taught to her by Bai Xiushang.

Li Xuandu did not answer. He used "Hundred Swords Guanyin" as the foundation and changed the three major swordsmanship of the world in succession, mixed with "Nine Styles of Heavenly Questions" of Bu Tian Sect, "Four Seas Tide Rising Sword" of Zhang Haishi, "Heaven and Earth Are My Journey" of Song Zheng, and even many swordsmanship that Li Xuandu realized by himself. But he saw that the "Seven Stars Stars Formation" of Tianquan on the left blocked his "Thirteen Swords of Taiyin", and the "Seven Stars Stars Formation" of Yuheng on the right blocked his "Thirty-six Swords of Beidou". He had not used all his moves, and suddenly changed in the middle. "Thirteen Swords of Taiyin" became "Thirty-six Swords of Beidou", and "Thirty-six Swords of Beidou" became "Nine Styles of Heavenly Questions". It was already difficult for him to use different sword moves with "Hundred Swords Guanyin", and the changes in moves in the middle were something that the Taiping Sect disciples had never seen or heard of. Who would have thought that he could change moves so quickly? They were unable to change the formation in time and immediately showed signs of disarray.

Li Xuandu continued to draw his sword, not like fighting with others, but like practicing sword alone. He just practiced the sword moves over and over again, and occasionally changed a set of sword techniques when he was excited. After a while, except for the seven Return to the True Realm masters, the long swords in the hands of the remaining 42 people were all broken by Li Xuandu. Without the weapons in their hands, these Xiantian masters dared not touch the long swords of a Tianren Realm Grand Master with Qi. They could only watch helplessly as this majestic "Seven Stars Star Formation" was naturally broken.

The seven Return to the True Realm masters looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

At this moment, Bai Xiushang said calmly: "Where are the people of the 'Yuan' generation of the Taiping Sect?"

According to the rules of the martial arts world, the leaders of each sect are equals. As the leader of the Cihang Sect, Bai Xiushang is not bound by the generation of the Taiping Sect. She can be equals with Mr. Shen and Mr. Shen.

At this moment, an old voice was heard from the Taiping Palace: "I am sorry to make you, Sect Master Bai and Zifu Sword Immortal laugh."

When the voice fell, seven figures appeared on the steps of the main gate of the Taiping Palace. Among them were three acquaintances of Li Xuandu, namely Madam Lu, Shen Yuanzhai, and Shen Yuanzhou.

The leader was a white-haired old man. He glanced at the situation in the square and sighed: "Forget it, you can leave."

The many Taiping Sect disciples in the square immediately felt as if they had been pardoned and left the square in a group.

At this time, seven people stood on the steps of Taiping Palace, Bai Xiushang and Shen Changsheng stood on the mountain road outside the square, and only Li Xuandu was left in the huge round square.

Li Xuandu dispersed the Guanyin Dharma image, clasped his fists and said: "Li Xuandu was entrusted by Mr. Shen to come to Taiping Sect to take over the position of Sect Master. I am here to show my courtesy."
