Chapter 1013: Chapter 1017: Formation Breaking! Killing Intent!

What made everyone’s pupils shrink slightly was that Xia Liu suddenly conjured a fiery red sword out of thin air!

“It’s a storage ring!”

At that moment, Zhu Yi exclaimed in shock.

The storage ring, he had heard his honored master talk about it before.

It was a spiritual artifact commonly used during the Cultivator Era.

Although it was a spiritual artifact, the storage ring didn’t have any offensive capability.

It was always used to store the tools of cultivators; when needed, a rush of divine sense would immediately retrieve the item from the storage space.

In the Cultivator Era, storage rings were extremely precious.

But to think, today, Xia Liu actually possessed a storage ring!

This easily led to the speculation that there must be a terrifying power behind him!

“To be able to conjure a sword out of thin air!”

“This young man is not simple!”

“Very extraordinary! Who exactly is he!”

“Where exactly is that sword hidden? To appear out of thin air?”

“Could he perhaps be an immortal?”

…

The crowd in the surroundings erupted into lively discussions.

Xia Liu’s move completely overturned their worldview.

How could there be anyone in the world capable of fetching something out of thin air, especially a longsword!

From the outside, the sword in Xia Liu’s hand was definitely not an ordinary longsword; it must possess extraordinary power.

“Is this the magic you spoke of…”

Song He had long been petrified; Xia Liu had said he knew magic, but perhaps it wasn’t magic, but a spell!

Not minding the shock of others, Xia Liu formed a seal with one hand; the power of divine consciousness enveloped the area.

However, it couldn’t break through beyond the sword array.

“Tut tut, trying to break through the sword array, unless your divine consciousness is at least at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation, otherwise it’s useless.”

“Even if your divine consciousness broke through the sword array, you can’t manipulate anything, and with the residual consciousness that comes through, be careful not to be crushed by us!”

Zhu Yi was not boastful, but that was the truth.

Xia Liu’s divine consciousness couldn’t break through the sword array shield, indicating that his cultivation wasn’t as strong as theirs.

Even if the divine consciousness could break through the sword array.

It was still no matter; divine consciousness would be weakened when penetrating the sword array.

As to what extent, for the Six Pillars, it wasn’t worth worrying about.

“So it’s come to this point after all…”

Condensing the seal decree, Xia Liu pointed two fingers towards his brow.

That was the location of the Sea of Consciousness!

“Hear my command, sealing open!”

With a heavy shout, Xia Liu slowly moved his two fingers horizontally.

In an instant, a terrifying aura spread relentlessly from Xia Liu’s body.

The crowd in the surroundings might not have sensed it, but the Six Pillars clearly felt it.

Xia Liu was elevating his cultivation at a terrifying speed!

Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation! Mid-Stage of Eighth Layer!

Peak of Eighth Layer! Late Stage of Ninth Layer!

Tenth Layer of Qi Cultivation!

Finally, Xia Liu’s cultivation stopped at the Mid-Stage of the Tenth Layer of Qi Cultivation!

And just at that moment, when the Six Pillars were shocked, Xia Liu’s divine consciousness surged, immediately penetrating the sword array.

In an instant, the area for several miles around was enveloped within his divine consciousness range.

This exhilarating moment of sweeping through several miles around didn’t last before a violent energy rushed out in his divine consciousness.

“Ah!”

Xia Liu clutched his head in pain, kneeling on the water surface.

As his eyes widened, a sliver of crimson flickered in his eyes.

“Apologies to everyone!”

With a vociferous voice, Xia Liu formed seals with one hand, so quickly that even the Six Pillars couldn’t discern it with their naked eyes.

“Watch out! His spirit art is peculiar! Let’s exert strength together!”

Zhu Yi sensed a divine consciousness seemed to lock onto him and immediately issued a command.

The other five people understood, and the spirit seals shifted in an instant.

The six spirit swords above the sword array hummed and resonated.

Buzz buzz buzz!!!

The intense sound prompted everyone to cover their ears.

In a flash, the tumultuous sword flow descended with the assault of the six spirit swords.

Targeting precisely Xia Liu!

At that critical moment, Xia Liu’s eyes fiercely widened, the crimson hue had already filled half of his pupils!

“Sword Drawing Technique!”

Xia Liu tightly gripped the Flowing Fire Sword, sweeping the archaic momentum instantly manifested.

The Flowing Fire Sword was unsheathed half an inch, then returned to its sheath.

Swish swish!!!

Centered around Xia Liu, a terrifying blood-red sword mark formed in a circle.

This sword mark lingered long, and what puzzled everyone was that it stopped just half an inch in front of the Six Pillars!

Moreover, the sword flow above Xia Liu’s head also solidified at this moment.

“Seal!”

Xia Liu ignored the sword flow above his head, his two fingers touching his brow, making a reverse stroke.

Then the red in his eyes began to gradually diminish, until it returned to the previous black pupils.

A large amount of hot sweat flowed from his pores, even washing away some of the dried blood on his body.

“Senior Brother! Why did you stop?”

Outside the sword array, the five pillars looked at Zhu Yi in confusion.

Just when the sword flow was about to strike Xia Liu, it was due to Zhu Yi’s condensed seal that the sword flow stopped.

For a cultivator like Xia Liu, who broke into the mountain gate and even called Sage Qingjue by name, the power of the Six Pillars Sword Array should have been enforced.

“Don’t you understand? The Six Pillars Sword Array has already been broken…”

Zhu Yi’s helpless, bitter smile was followed by a motion of divine sense, and the Lihuo Sword spinning above retracted into its sheath.

The other five pillars saw this gesture and also retracted their spiritual artifacts.

They were highly puzzled, looking at Zhu Yi for a reasonable explanation.

“Daoist Fellow Xia, you had the opportunity to kill us just now, why didn’t you act?”

Zhu Yi looked toward Xia Liu and asked word by word.

“Wow!”

“Senior Xia indeed had the capability to kill the Six Pillars of Shu Mountain!”

“It’s not just having the capability, but Senior Xia just had the chance to do it!”

“Senior Xia broke the Six Pillars Sword Array! And had a chance to kill the opponents!”

“This…”

Terrifying beyond belief!

Outside the venue, whether it was the Outer Sect disciples of Shu Mountain or the outsiders who entered Shu Mountain.

Everyone was shaken by Zhu Yi’s words.

That Xia Liu, at such a young age, could break the Six Pillars Sword Array and have the ability to kill the Six Pillars!

If such news were released to the Warrior Realm, many people would not dare to believe it.

They might even question, who is Xia Liu, how could there possibly be such a young super expert.

“Senior Brother? Why do you say this…”

The five exchanged endless looks; when did Xia Liu break the formation, when did he have the chance to kill them?

“Do you recall, when Daoist Fellow Xia’s cultivation suddenly rose to the Tenth Layer of Qi Cultivation and the Sword Drawing Technique clearly had the power to sweep countless meters around, but it stopped just in front of us…”

Having spoken to this point, Zhu Yi stopped explaining; if they didn’t understand now.

If they were determined to go down together, that was another matter entirely.

Zhu Yi’s words left the five of them in a stupor.

They hadn’t thought that much at the time, even though the final attack could have killed Xia Liu.

If that were the case, Xia Liu would still be a talent.

“You all, learn more from Senior Brother from now on, restrain that violent energy.”

As the five were lost in thought, suddenly, a clear voice of Qingjue echoed across several miles.

The disciples of Shu Mountain, upon hearing this voice, their eyes shrank sharply, and then they knelt on one knee: “Welcome, Sect Leader Master!”
