Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16247
Chapter 16245 Sword Formation
The Gongsun family members had all reacted and immediately began their counterattack. They were all using flying swords, but strangely, they weren’t using ordinary flying swords, but sets. Some had three swords, some two, some five, and the most powerful person used a set of thirty-six swords. When these swords were released, they could form an array on their own, which looked quite peculiar.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Hai and the others were stunned. The Gongsun family members were using a sword formation! Sword formations could be single-person or multi-person. A multi-person sword formation involved each person using a flying sword to form a formation, while a single-person sword formation involved one person using a set of magical artifacts to create a sword formation.
In theory, a multi-person sword formation can form any kind of sword formation because everyone uses different flying swords, allowing for various combinations. However, a single-person sword formation is different. For example, a person using two flying swords might form a Yin-Yang formation or a similar formation, while a person using three flying swords would typically use a Three Talents formation. A set of flying swords can only form a few fixed sword formations. The
reason Zhao Hai and his group were stunned was because they hadn’t expected the Gongsun family to use a sword formation. Using a formation in front of the Blood Slaughter Sect, even if it was a sword formation, was somewhat like showing off one’s limited skills before an expert.
However, they certainly wouldn’t reveal this. They knew that the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples attacking the Gongsun family were all skilled in magic, many even using the Void Formation Technique. Their understanding of formations far surpassed that of ordinary disciples. Even those less knowledgeable in formations had the aid of the Heavenly Sphere, allowing them to quickly calculate the type of sword formation the Gongsun family was using. Breaking that formation would be incredibly easy.
Just then, a voice rang out: “Zhao Hai, how dare you attack our Gongsun family! You’re tired of living!”
With this voice, Gongsun Xing appeared in the sky. He had been observing, trying to see who was attacking them, and then he saw Zhao Hai. He recognized Zhao Hai immediately, knowing that the attackers were from the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, which was why he revealed himself.
Looking at Gongsun Xing, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but smile slightly. “Gongsun Xing, when you aristocratic families attacked our Myriad Laws Divine Sect, I didn’t see you being polite at all. Now you dare to say I’m bold? I’ve never been bold. You dare to oppose our Myriad Laws Divine Sect, so our Myriad Laws Divine Sect dares to retaliate. You’d better prepare to die.” With that, Zhao Hai moved his hand, and a long sword appeared in his hand. He then thrust the sword at Gongsun Xing.
Gongsun Xing looked at Zhao Hai’s long sword, and a cold smile appeared on his face. He then said, “You’re courting death, then I’ll grant your wish.” With that, Gongsun Xing moved his hand, and in the next moment, eight flying swords appeared in front of him. He then waved his hand, and the eight flying swords flew straight towards Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai glanced at the eight flying swords, which were hurtling towards him in the Bagua formation. Judging from their attributes, they were clearly part of the Later Heaven Bagua. Zhao Hai smiled slightly, then swung his longsword, directly striking one of the flying swords.
The sword seemed to have come right up to Zhao Hai’s sword, and with a clang, it shuddered as if struck by lightning, then flew away. At the same time, Gongsun Xing’s expression changed slightly. The next moment, Zhao Hai swung his sword again, deflecting the other flying swords as well.
Upon seeing this, Gongsun Xing’s expression changed drastically. He snorted coldly, then waved his hand. In the next instant, countless flying swords appeared around his body. The swords that had been launched returned to Gongsun Xing, forming a complex sword array in front of him. This array slowly rotated, drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy.
Zhao Hai was taken aback when he saw the sword array, then a smile flashed in his eyes. Gongsun Xing was truly courting death, using the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Array. Hadn’t he just walked right into Zhao Hai’s trap?
However, Zhao Hai knew very well that he couldn’t destroy the sword array immediately; that would attract too much attention. He had to break the array slowly to avoid arousing Wu Daban’s suspicion.
Zhao Hai was very clear that even though Wu Daban hadn’t made a move yet, they were definitely keeping an eye on the battlefield and on him. Zhao Hai was certain that Wu Daban must have discovered something, otherwise Wu Daban wouldn’t have tested him before. Therefore, Zhao Hai believed that Wu Daban would definitely be watching him. If he performed too well, Wu Daban would only become more suspicious of him.
Zhao Hai charged forward again, and in the next instant, the 108 flying swords completely surrounded him. The swords then spun, and white mist immediately rose in the area. Those outside couldn’t see what was inside the mist, but it was certain that Zhao Hai was trapped within.
Xu Ying and his group, however, seemed completely unconcerned, continuing their attack on the Gongsun family. The Gongsun family members quickly realized they were no match for the Myriad Laws Sect, and many of their own family members were being slaughtered. This time, the Myriad Laws Sect showed no mercy, launching an indiscriminate attack on the Gongsun family. Countless buildings were destroyed, and those who had been hiding inside were all killed.
Seeing this, the Gongsun family members seemed to have gone mad. They desperately attacked Xu Ying and his group, but it was useless. Xu Ying and his group were undeniably powerful; their strength was formidable, and the Gongsun family members simply couldn’t repel them.
Wu Daban had been observing the members of the Myriad Laws Sect. He noticed that they were indeed using magic to attack the Gongsun family, and their magic was indeed very powerful, far surpassing ordinary magic. The same magic used by the Myriad Laws Sect members was much more powerful than that used by others. Wu Daban couldn’t figure out how they did it.
However, Wu Daban was most concerned about Zhao Hai. Although he knew that Zhao Hai might threaten the Gongliang family, he was also very clear that Zhao Hai absolutely could not be harmed now. If Zhao Hai were to be harmed, the Myriad Laws Sect would fall apart and would be unable to attack those aristocratic families anymore. The Gongliang family would lose an important ally. Therefore, Wu Daban kept a close eye on Zhao Hai’s situation. He was prepared to intervene if necessary to save Zhao Hai’s life.
Meanwhile, Wu Daban was also observing how the members of the Myriad Laws Cult would treat the ordinary members of the Gongsun family. He discovered that the Myriad Laws Cult showed no mercy to the Gongsun family members. Even though the Gongsun family members had all been rendered powerless to resist by the magic, the Myriad Laws Cult still had no intention of letting them go. They launched an indiscriminate massacre, leaving no one alive.
Wu Daban also observed the reactions of the Myriad Laws Cult disciples as they killed the ordinary members of the Gongsun family. Normally, if you are facing a life-or-death enemy, you would kill that enemy without any psychological burden; it’s just killing. But if you are facing someone completely powerless to resist, you might feel uncomfortable killing them.
However, Wu Daban found that the members of the Myriad Laws Cult showed no reaction whatsoever when killing the powerless ordinary members of the Gongsun family. They showed no sympathy whatsoever; they simply unleashed their magic one after another, killing the entire Gongsun family and their clan members without leaving a single one alive.
Wu Daban was astonished by the way the members of the Myriad Laws Cult were so calm when they killed, almost to the point of indifference. He knew all too well that this almost callous attitude towards killing was the most terrifying thing, because it meant they had no psychological burden when it came to killing. They seemed to have long been accustomed to killing, which was the most frightening thing. What kind of person would be accustomed to killing? Isn’t that terrifying?
The Gongsun family gradually fell into a disadvantageous position because they simply couldn’t concentrate on fighting. While fighting the Myriad Laws Cult, they witnessed firsthand the members of the Myriad Laws Cult killing their families and destroying their homes. Such psychological pressure was something not everyone could withstand. Under these circumstances, the Gongsun family members were already doing well if they could use 60% of their full strength, so naturally, the Gongsun family fell into a disadvantageous position.
Gongsun Xing also saw this situation and was very anxious. He wanted to kill Zhao Hai as soon as possible, but he found that he simply couldn’t do it. He had no way to kill Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai’s strength was undeniable. Although his sword formation had trapped Zhao Hai, killing him was extremely difficult. Zhao Hai was trapped in the sword formation and was constantly being attacked, but he held on and didn’t let any attacks land on him. He was still completely unharmed, which surprised Gongsun Xing.
Just then, a loud crash was heard, followed by a voice saying, “Good, the Gongsun family ancestral hall has been destroyed.”
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Xing’s expression changed drastically. The ancestral hall housed the ancestors of the Gongsun family and their family genealogy; it was the face of the Gongsun family. If the ancestral hall was destroyed, it would be a public slap in the face for the Gongsun family. Thinking of this, Gongsun Xing’s face turned extremely ugly, and he turned to look in the direction of the ancestral hall.
