Ling Tian stared at the tree trunk, which had been reduced to wood shavings, and couldn't help but gasp. He had seen such an attack method before. Back on Hell Paradise Island, when facing Mario Cuite, that guy had used a similar attack method.
However, compared to the blade storm within this Heavenly Slaughter Sword Formation, Mario Cuite's magnetic storm was on a completely different energy level.
If Mario Cuite's magnetic storm was a gentle breeze of level two, then the storm in this sword formation was a level twelve typhoon!
Let alone people, even if you drove a heavy main battle tank into it, it would quickly be torn into scrap metal by these blade storms!
Even with an army of thousands, they wouldn't be enough for this sword formation to tear apart. It was no wonder that the Tianshan Sword Sect could remain unharmed through its thousand-year inheritance; with something like this protecting it, safety was naturally not a concern.
Ling Tian searched his mind for knowledge about formations. It seemed that the formation before him was a very complete and powerful composite formation.
Cracking the formation was not an easy task. If he were inside the grand formation, it would be easier; if he could find the formation's core, or the person controlling the grand formation, he could resolve it.
But the problem was that he was currently outside this defensive formation. To break through the formation, he would either have to forcefully dismantle it or find its weakness, enter the formation, and find a way to shut it down.
As for forceful dismantling, Ling Tian had no such thoughts. He had seen this formation, and it had been running for thousands of years, accumulating a vast amount of energy.
Under such circumstances, even if Ling Tian used all his might, he probably wouldn't be able to forcefully dismantle it.
To destroy such a formation, it would at least require a bomb equivalent to a small nuclear warhead.
Helpless, Ling Tian had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and began observing the trajectory of the spiritual energy within the grand formation.
Soon, Ling Tian had an idea: if he could avoid the network formed by the spiritual energy within the grand formation, he wouldn't trigger the defensive mechanism of the Heavenly Slaughter Sword Formation, and then he would have an opportunity to pass through!
Just as Ling Tian was preparing to attempt to pass through the grand formation, suddenly, three cold lights shot towards him.
Ling Tian's thoughts flashed, and he instantly retreated into the Spirit Realm space. Then, his thoughts flashed again, and his figure appeared two meters away. The three cold lights missed their target!
At this moment, Ling Tian saw a person emerge from the woods. This person was Yun Chongxiao, a disciple of the Tianshan Sword Sect!
Yun Chongxiao was also astonished. His sneak attack, which he believed to be a sure kill, had missed. The problem was that he hadn't seen how Ling Tian had dodged it.
Ling Tian deliberately appeared two meters away this time, giving him the illusion that Ling Tian had dodged the attack with his super-fast movement technique.
He couldn't figure out how Ling Tian had done it, no matter how hard he thought!
At the same time, Yun Chongxiao became vigilant. He had initially thought that he could easily capture and kill this intruder, but now it seemed that things were not that simple!
"Who are you, daring to cause trouble at the Tianshan Sword Sect!"
"Your Tianshan Sword Sect disciples, for your own selfish desires, have colluded with evil ways!
I am here today for no other reason than to seek justice for those you have harmed!"
"You have quite the nerve, aren't you afraid of the wind blowing your tongue off! How do you intend to seek justice!" Yun Chongxiao was somewhat provoked by Ling Tian's impolite words.
"Seeking justice is simple, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!
From the day you started cooperating with evil ways, your fate was sealed!"
"Are you from the Righteous Path Alliance?"
"Heh, don't compare me to those good-for-nothings. I'm just here to seek justice for my family..."
Before Ling Tian could finish speaking, he saw three flying swords suddenly fly towards him from behind!
Although Ling Tian did not look back, he possessed the Heavenly Eye divine ability, a talent that allowed him to observe his surroundings with 360-degree vision without any blind spots.
"You dare to attack from the shadows, you court death!"
Before Ling Tian finished speaking, he raised his hand, and three white orbs of light floated from his hand, flying directly towards the three flying swords.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
With three explosions, the three white orbs of light transformed into three light walls, exploding solidly and blocking the momentum of the flying swords!
Meanwhile, Yun Chongxiao, who was facing Ling Tian, felt a throbbing pain in his head, as if he had been struck three times!
"You... these are talismans, you are a Taoist... this is impossible!"
Yun Chongxiao was somewhat incoherent. Although the flying swords of the Tianshan Sword Sect were powerful, they also knew that flying swords were not omnipotent, and there were ways to counter them in the martial world.
However, Yun Chongxiao had never heard of anyone using talismans to break flying swords.
Yet, the other party had done just that, and with excellent results! Not only did it block the attack of the flying swords, but it also caused him mental damage, making him dizzy and almost losing control of the three flying swords!
No wonder his disciples Yun Hai and Yun Luo had become his victims. These bizarre talismans dealt real damage to him!
However, Yun Chongxiao did not lose heart. He concentrated his mind, gritted his teeth, and controlled the three flying swords again. This time, the three flying swords flew towards Ling Tian from three different directions.
Ling Tian sneered, raised his left hand, and three talismans appeared in his hand. He infused them with true essence, and the three talismans transformed into orbs of light, each the size of a fist, which also flew towards the three flying swords in their respective directions!
This time, Yun Chongxiao felt even more bewildered because he watched with his own eyes as Ling Tian, without turning his head, had somehow detected the talismans flying from behind!
This indicated that Ling Tian either possessed a secret technique to perceive his surroundings or had incredibly powerful mental strength!
However, the current situation did not allow him to think too much. The three white orbs of light were about to collide fiercely with the three flying swords.
He didn't want to experience the sensation of his head being hit by a sledgehammer again. As the orbs of light and the flying swords were about to collide, in a flash, the three flying swords suddenly changed direction in mid-air!
Such sudden changes in direction consumed a great deal of mental and spiritual energy, and the difficulty for the controller of the flying swords was not ordinary, especially for Yun Chongxiao, who controlled three flying swords simultaneously. This could be considered Yun Chongxiao's ultimate move.
His flying swords could turn freely in mid-air, dodge the opponent's interception, and then launch attacks from unexpected angles.
But soon, he felt something was wrong because the three white orbs of light released by Ling Tian seemed to have been paused in mid-air, freezing in place. Then, the orbs adjusted their direction and flew towards the flying swords!
