The last trace of sunset cloud lingered, and night was about to fall.
Su Luo withdrew her gaze, her expressionless face stating, "Let's get it done, or we'll waste too much time and I won't get enough sleep tonight."
Chu Tianshu looked at the spiritual light of the formation array and said, "Junior Sister, step aside, let me break it!"
This was his first time using the divine artifact Cang Long Sword, and he was somewhat expectant. With a clang, he drew it out. The ancient sword immediately emitted a faint phantom image, which was the innate energy of the divine artifact. The sword's might soared, its edge sharp and invincible.
In the courtyard, the formation patterns beneath Sun Biao's feet also ignited with flames.
The flames spread outwards, spinning rapidly as if igniting something. The entire residence began to show lines of fire, gradually expanding to form a mysterious formation diagram.
A group of demon disciples watched the lines of fire erupting everywhere, completely unaware of the danger. They excitedly cheered, "My lord's formation is indeed powerful! Let's see how they escape. Once they are killed, my lord will surely be rewarded..."
Before they could finish, there was a deafening roar.
The spiritual light protecting the residence flickered once and was then cleaved by Chu Tianshu's sword, vanishing directly.
The might of a divine artifact was invincible!
"Not good, my lord! They've broken through the protective formation and are coming in!" A group of demon disciples' faces changed as they watched Su Luo, Chu Tianshu, and Lu Jixing fly in.
Sun Biao was enveloped in flames, and waves of heat rolled within a ten-foot radius. He said in a deep voice, "Hold them off!"
He was still activating the formation, continuously releasing flames. The web-like lines of fire kept spreading, with him at the center and the residence as the array's eye, gradually extending outwards. Soon, lines of fire began to appear on the main street, extending as if they had a life of their own. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
From high above, the entire Pig Dragon Town was within the scope of the Blazing Heaven Array.
"What kind of formation is this?"
Lu Jixing flew up, hovering in mid-air, looking in surprise.
In his sight, the residence was on fire, and the street outside was also on fire. The scorching lines of fire, like fiery serpents, darted everywhere. It wouldn't be long before the entire Pig Dragon Town would be engulfed in flames.
Chu Tianshu simply said coldly, "Whatever it is, let's kill them first!"
Having just broken through the formation array barrier with his sword, he was full of confidence. He strode forward, and the demonic cultivators retreated one after another. Even with their weapons in hand, they dared not confront him easily, having already sensed his power.
"Sword rise!"
Chu Tianshu unleashed his aura. Looking at Sun Biao, who was engulfed in flames, he uttered two words that sounded like a true mantra. A majestic power emanated from the Cang Long Sword he held high, awe-inspiring everyone.
Instantly...
The swords in the hands of the demon disciples trembled, as if about to break free into the air, making them impossible to grip.
"My sword, what's happening?"
"My saber, it's flying away, damn it..."
The demon disciples quickly tightened their grip on their weapons, looking in shock at the handsome young man exuding confidence before them. They hadn't expected their weapons to be about to fly away before the opponent had even made a move. What was going on?
Su Luo's eyes lit up. Second Senior Brother could already unleash sword intent; his progress was incredibly fast.
This sword intent grew stronger and stronger. Even though the demon disciples desperately held onto their weapons, they ultimately couldn't control them and they flew out of their hands.
Swords and sabers flew into the sky, circling the Cang Long Sword held high by Chu Tianshu, like a hundred birds paying homage to a phoenix. They emitted humming sounds, striking awe into everyone present.
A faint spiritual light emanated from Chu Tianshu's face. At this moment, he looked like a sword god. He uttered again, "Sword slash!"
A massive phantom image shot out from the Cang Long Sword, carrying immense and terrifying power, heading towards Sun Biao.
It was a slender shadow resembling a majestic dragon, its claws and fangs bared, its head shaking and tail wagging in a ferocious posture, capable of devouring the heavens. Although its divine soul was dead, a remnant trace was still imprisoned within the sword. Its appearance alone exuded overwhelming pressure, making even the surrounding flames seem to dim slightly, revealing the divine sword's might.
Sun Biao was greatly alarmed and retreated continuously. He had never seen such a terrifying sword move.
He roared furiously, and the flames around him expanded again, soaring higher, like a colossal fiery figure twenty feet tall.
Crossing his hands, he unleashed a mighty strike. The fiery figure sent a fireball the size of a water vat flying towards the Cang Long phantom. The two powerful forces collided fiercely, with a deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, flinging the surrounding demon disciples to the ground. Cracks appeared on the ground.
"He could actually block my sword?"
A slight smile appeared on Chu Tianshu's handsome face. He raised the Cang Long Sword again, "Good, take another sword strike."
He lightly slashed down. It seemed effortless, yet it sliced through the very air.
With a flash of cold light, the sword energy descended directly from Sun Biao's head, cleaving the fiery figure in two.
Sun Biao had not paid much attention initially. He had already transformed into fire, so how could ordinary sword energy be effective against him? But before he could react, this shadowy sword energy had already descended from his head. A terrifying power instantly enveloped his entire body.
Swish!
Like the roar of waves, a burst of flames erupted in the air, blooming like fireworks. Sun Biao's entire body exploded. Falling flames rained down, engulfing the entire Pig Dragon Town. Segments of limbs and droplets of blood splattered in mid-air, only to be vaporized by the scorching flames.
Su Luo's eyes lit up as she watched, "He died that quickly?"
Second Senior Brother had gained a lot from his journey; not only had his cultivation soared, but he had also comprehended sword intent, far surpassing his previous level.
Sun Biao never expected to be defeated in just two moves. He had overestimated himself, underestimated his opponent, and most of all, had not anticipated that Chu Tianshu possessed a divine artifact. Many of the demon disciples were also caught in the aftermath. Those who survived were affected by the flames, their bodies ignited, and they rolled on the ground in agony.
Chu Tianshu sheathed his sword, and the powerful aura vanished, revealing a relaxed smile, "Done!"
Su Luo praised, "Not bad, Second Senior Brother!"
"A piece of cake!" He laughed heartily.
On the main street, Sun Biao's subordinates were also being killed by Li Tianjue and the others. Even Tang Xiaoguo and Bai Qi had taken down a few. The remaining townspeople dared not approach and fled. They did not pursue them; these ordinary people posed no threat to them, so there was no need to exterminate them.
Li Tianjue looked at Su Luo and Chu Tianshu, "All resolved?"
Chu Tianshu nodded smugly, "Of course, they were just minor thugs, not even worth mentioning. I was just testing the power of the divine artifact, and I didn't expect them to hold up for more than a few blows. It was too anticlimactic."
Wen Dair stared at him flirtatiously, her face blooming with a smile, "Tianshu, you're getting full of yourself!"
"Hahaha, that's the truth!"
The group chatted and laughed, their moods gradually relaxing. As the sky grew darker, they were about to enter the residence to stay for the night, but Su Luo soon noticed something was amiss. Although Sun Biao was dead, the formation had not stopped. The flames on the ground were still burning, and they seemed to be getting fiercer, with waves of heat rolling.
"Wait, something's not right."
She flew high into the sky and couldn't help but frown.
