"A fragrance of spiritual materials!"
Qi Jiguang, who had been walking for an unknown duration, suddenly's eyes flickered. The two of them sped off and after about a hundred paces, they saw a small basin. Unfortunately, it was covered by a powerful magic formation, blocking their divine senses and preventing them from seeing what precious spiritual materials lay beneath.
"This restriction looks no simple matter!"
Li Bai gazed at the faint glow, which, like sunlight on a thick fog, refracted into several colorful beams. With a sweep of his eyes, two powerful sword energies shot out. However, upon striking the formation, they were directly reflected, shooting back into the mountains.
"This formation cannot be solved by brute force!"
Li Bai watched the reflected sword energies. In ordinary circumstances, even a powerful Xuan Immortal being would be severely injured. Yet, this great formation offered no resistance, merely reflecting them back.
"If only the Director of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, Yuan Tiangang, were here!"
Li Bai stared at the formation with no solution in sight. Meanwhile, Qi Jiguang bent down and, at the edge of the formation, spotted a bright spot. A faintly moving staircase emerged, leading directly into the basin. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Let's go down and check the situation," Qi Jiguang said. He first approached the staircase and probed it several times. Confirming it was safe, he drew his Qi Family Army Saber and cautiously stepped down.
Li Bai watched this scene, also cautiously drawing his Three-Foot Green Peak and following Qi Jiguang. They descended the staircase step by step. After about three hundred steps, they could no longer see the sky. Far ahead, they noticed that about three feet below the formation's covering, a talisman was suspended.
It was this talisman that shone brilliantly, blocking everything from the outside, even blocking immortal energy. Looking at the faintly moving talisman, the two instantly understood. Li Bai's earlier sword strike had not hit the restriction but had been intercepted by this talisman and then reflected back.
Recalling their senses, they descended another two steps. They were now very close to the formation. It had to be shattered to enter.
Qi Jiguang and Li Bai exchanged glances. Then, their immortal energies surged, and the immortal treasures in their hands erupted with power. At that moment, the formation condensed tens of thousands of sword energies. But as they looked closely, they appeared to be countless real, peerless immortal swords, tens of thousands in number, circling the formation again and again, like a myriad of swords returning to their origin. The formation continued to condense more swords, each one a peerless immortal treasure, emitting a terrifying sword aura that made even Li Bai solemn.
"Attack!"
Qi Jiguang shouted. If it continued to condense, there would be more and more peerless immortal swords. By then, shattering the formation would be wishful thinking. Li Bai and Qi Jiguang raised their hands simultaneously. One side surged with a river of sword energy, while the other flashed with cold blade light, shaking the valley.
"Chisss~~!"
Thousands of long swords seemed to be guided, attacking them. The forces of both sides instantly clashed.
Li Bai and Qi Jiguang's bodies trembled, and the formation itself began to loosen. The tens of thousands of long swords paused for a few breaths before another thousand swords spun and descended from the sky.
"A waterfall plunges three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way falls from the nine heavens!"
Li Bai let out a roar, and the sky split open with a giant chasm. A three-thousand-zhang long river of sword energy roared down, the sky filled with silver sword energy. Under the clash of divine power, it was like countless stars descending.
"Blade Edge Under Heaven!"
Qi Jiguang roared, unleashing a blade light that split the air, possessing the dominance of a fist's might and the sharpness of a blade's edge.
Rumble!
The previously calm formation erupted with an incredibly brilliant light. The tens of thousands of long swords suspended above the formation moved. They swirled like locusts that obscured the sky, emitting buzzing sounds. Countless swords were shattered by the sword energy and blade light, and the surrounding peaks cracked into unfathomable ravines.
The immense vibration startled the talisman in the void, which erupted with a blinding light, reflecting all the sword energy generated by the formation's swords back at the formation. The previously loose formation suddenly cracked with fine lines, and its light dimmed at a visible rate.
"Battle!"
Qi Jiguang saw this and shouted, raising his arms again. He slashed downwards with his Qi Family Army Saber. The moment the blade light was unleashed, the saber disappeared. Qi Jiguang stood with his fists raised, unleashing fist after fist of battle intent, causing thunder to rumble in the heavens and earth.
"Fall!"
Li Bai followed closely. He had never imagined that the talisman, meant to repel intruders, would end up helping them.
As if angered, the formation unleashed a torrent of immortal treasures and endless swords, their sword energy like countless arrows. In the void, the two wielded their immortal treasures, shattering sword after sword.
After several more breaths, only a few hundred long swords remained in the void, and the formation was riddled with cracks, on the verge of collapse.
"General Qi, now is the moment!"
Li Bai guided the three-thousand-zhang long river of sword energy. His long sword flew out, merging into the river, and a giant sword energy shot out from the sky, directly targeting the formation!
"Good!"
Qi Jiguang clenched his right hand in the void. The Qi Family Army Saber reappeared. His armor erupted with a pale blue light. Thunder roared in the void, and the figure of a Kui Niu appeared. It raised its right fist and smashed directly onto the formation. Instantly, the formation's multi-colored light clashed, and a giant sword energy pierced through, directly xuyên qua the formation.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, countless mountain peaks began to collapse. Hundreds of blue, lightning-like streams of light flashed rapidly across the massive magic formation before shattering inch by inch.
As the formation crumbled, the talisman suspended above it gradually faded. Then, like a piece of paper, it swayed in the void, drifting for a few breaths before disappearing from their sight like dust.
With the formation gone, the basin's scene appeared clearly. It was a medicinal garden, but not many spiritual materials were planted, only a few dozen.
"Go!"
The two immediately moved their feet. Within a few breaths, they arrived at the basin. Upon entering, they were quite disappointed. Of the dozens of spiritual materials, only a few bore fruit.
