Chapter 167: Seven Plum Sword
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The five-colored pagoda suddenly became bright. Five-colored rays of light flew out of the pagoda and entered every formation.
The jade pieces, iron nails, and bronze cauldrons inside the formation were like bright lanterns. Colorful lights poured into the pond, lighting it up.
In their eyes, the dazzling array of glyphs was like a huge piece of gold embedded in the green melon hat of a landlord. They looked like a nouveau riche, and they disdained it.
However, when the formations were activated, all the formations lit up in a flash. What a splendid scene!
No one saw it.
Only the most important forbidden area of the sect would have such a large formation belt. and it was no small forbidden area.
Whether it was the Divine Will Sect or the East Floating Hall, it was the same. The Heart Lake Sword Sect had it, but it had never been used. It had been hundreds of years since the last time it was used.
The cultivators that were densely packed around East Floating were completely stunned by this scene!
The battle between Li Zhengxuan and He Fang was undoubtedly much more brilliant, and their techniques were also much more powerful. However, in front of this huge formation, it seemed insignificant.
With Li Zhengxuan and He Fang’s cultivation, each sword light was more than a meter long, at most two meters. No matter how gorgeous it was, it couldn’t compare to the formation with a radius of ten miles.
For a time, East Floating fell into a deathly silence.
After a while, everyone recovered from their shock. All of East Floating City was in an uproar. Hundreds of thousands of cultivators shouted in unison. From the initial silence to the current clamor, the cultivators with low cultivation only felt their ears buzz and could no longer hear any sound.
Their eardrums buzzed from the shock. It took them a while to recover. However, their discussion did not stop. Instead, it became more and more intense.
“It’s worth it! This trip was worth it!”
“What a big deal! I have to say, this Li Ming is really capable. He always brings us surprises!”
“Formation defense?”
Just as everyone was dumbstruck, the formation was fully activated. The formation of ten acres suddenly changed.
A crescent moon hung high above the pond, shining brightly. Green mist rose from the formation and covered everything.
In the fog, circles of light, large and small, floated in the air, gathering and dispersing, as agile as fish.
Three people were standing on the roof of a residential building in East Floating City.
“Li Ming is worthy of being a formation genius. He comprehended the Sun Moon Light Formation so quickly, truly amazing! Fortunately, we didn’t offend him that day.”
They were the three people who had asked Li Ming to refine the Ink-colored Lotus Seed that day.
“Hmph, he’s just a foundation establishment cultivator who borrowed external power. What can he do?” The fierce man snorted coldly.
“The weaker the cultivation, the better.”
“Are you trying to use force? Don’t forget that he has a very powerful senior brother!” The fierce man shook his head. Li Zhengxuan’s tyrannical attitude made the three of them tremble in fear.
“We have too few people. His eldest senior brother is a good helper.” The hook-nosed man said.
“He’s only at the foundation establishment stage. No matter how strong the formation is, it can’t be that strong.”
“It’s fine as long as you have good talent.” The man in red said.
“Although Li Zhengxuan is powerful, he is alone. The three of us don’t need to be afraid of him.’
The red-robed man had a lot of say, so the other two did not object. Moreover, what he said was the truth. Many cultivators knew formations, but there were very few who were proficient in formations.
Those who were slightly famous would either demand an exorbitant price or be unwilling to take risks.
“That’s right,” the fierce man said with a smile. “If he dares to have any ill intentions, we’ll bring out the Black Lotus Yin Flag that we just refined. We can test its effects.
“But how do we convince Li Ming? He’s not that easy to fool, and we can’t force him.”
The red-robed man was very confident about this. “We’ll lure him. Li Ming is easy to lure, needless to say, a sword fanatic like Li Zhengxuan might also be persuaded.”
Just as the three of them were chatting, Yan Yan had just stepped into the range of the Sun Moon Light Formation.
The moment the formation was activated, Yan Yan was slightly startled. He immediately recovered and his footsteps were neither fast nor slow, just like a steady expert.
However, the terrifying aura he emitted proved that his fighting spirit had already risen to the peak.
Li Ming’s figure flashed and disappeared into the array.
The green mist lingered around as if it had formed a world of its own. Countless light circles of various sizes were full of spirituality. The two light circles collided from time to time, like glass colliding, emitting a clear and pleasant sound.
The clanking sounds echoed in the fog. They were erratic, but they did not dissipate for a long time.
As far as the eye could see, there was green mist everywhere, and there were circles of light that looked like schools of fish. Not only Li Ming, but even the jade stones scattered on the ground had disappeared.
Clang! Clang!
Yan Yan couldn’t help but snort. As one of the most outstanding disciples of the youngest generation in the East Qi Sword Sect, he had learned sword arts from his master, but his attainments in formations could only be considered half-baked.
What did it matter?
He was not afraid at all.
One sword can break all techniques. This referred to the sword cultivator!
Impossible!
He had long forgotten about his hatred for Li Ming.
He had never taken it to heart. His disciples were expelled from the sect because he was inferior to them, and he could not be bothered. He didn’t really hate Li Ming, but he definitely didn’t like him.
Unfortunately, Zhang Haowen met Nangong Yun first.
He looked at Zhang Haowen and Nangong Yun, who were in a heated battle, with some regret. Then, he looked at Li Ming and felt even less interested.
Even without Zhang Haowen, Nangong Yun was still a good option. Why did he have to choose Li Ming?
As he thought, he summoned his flying sword.
This flying sword was very special. It was shaped like a plum branch. The plum branch was knotted like a green bone, filled with ancient power.
There were seven beautiful flowers on the branch, as if they had just been picked, emitting a faint fragrance.
“Seven Plum Sword? It is Zuo Meitian’s Seven Plum Sword?! It seems that he has high hopes for Yan Yan!”
“This is the most powerful sword technique of the East Qi Sword Sect, the ‘Seven Plum Sword’? It is indeed extraordinary! Zuo Meitian is really bold to give such a top-grade flying sword to a golden core disciple!”
Everyone’s faces were filled with shock.
The Seven Plum Sword was the most famous flying sword of the East Qi Sword Sect, and it was also the fourth-grade flying sword that was most compatible with the Plum Splitting Sword Technique.
However, the most famous thing about this flying sword was its owner, Zuo
Meitian..
