The two teams quickly collided in the center of the canyon. With an unknown shout, swarms of flying swords, magical treasures, and magic spells bombarded each other, instantly turning into a chaotic battle.
Outside the grand formation, clouds of poisonous insects swarmed together in battle, with Gu Zhiqiu’s group of Golden-winged Flying Centipedes standing out conspicuously.
Above the canyon, Su Yu, Chu Xinyue, and Qingchan stood in the air, confronting Lin Xuan, the leader of the Golden Centipede Gang, along with five other experts.
Each side only had one Loose Immortal, and the rest were top talents among the non-Loose Immortals, just like Su Yu and his companions.
It’s not that the Thousand Star Hall lacks top experts below Loose Immortal level; there are quite a few, like Qe Dongyang, who is just a step away from the tribulation, and Gu Zhiqiu, who is formidable with his tens of thousands of Golden-winged Flying Centipedes, but they need to command the battle below.
Lin Xuan’s gaze fell upon Chu Xinyue, and he smiled slightly and said:
"Although I never liked bullying the young with the old, I need to be responsible for the guild, so Mr. Chu, please forgive me for an unfair victory."
Chu Xinyue said nothing, simply gestured with a hand, inviting him, and then rose into the air, with Lin Xuan immediately following.
Soon, a dull bell rang out from the air, followed by a tremendous roar.
The sky suddenly brightened, as Chu Xinyue activated the Mountain and River Map, spreading a scroll that covered an area over dozens of kilometers.
Above the canyon, four experts from the Golden Centipede Gang quickly deployed their defense treasures, and though they looked quite young, they clasped their hands and smiled:
"Gentlemen, let’s begin!"
Su Yu and Qingchan exchanged a glance, winking at each other with perfect synchronicity, and in the next second, they both activated their explosive power simultaneously.
Luo Qingchan’s burst was extremely unassuming, as her two swords shook, unleashing over two hundred Sword Qi that swept towards the enemy like a storm.
Her Sword Qi might not have the double innate power boost like Su Yu’s, having only the normal 20% power, but her flying swords were fierce, based on two Tier Nine Flying Swords, with the individual Sword Qi’s destructive power even surpassing Su Yu’s current strength.
Over two hundred Sword Qi crashed down, achieving peaks of a million in just two seconds, breaking through three layers of defense of a Golden Centipede Gang expert, and forcibly killing him in seconds.
In comparison to her unassuming approach, Su Yu’s burst was much more flamboyant.
He began by firing a Hundred Eyes Divine Light to stun his opponent, then unleashed a round of Sword Light Division, breaking through the opponent’s Tier Seven defense treasures, magical robe, and protective aura for the kill.
"So fierce!"
In less than two seconds, while one of the remaining two Golden Centipede Gang experts had just begun to activate a forbidden technique, and the other had just summoned the Gu Cloud, they found that their two companions were already dead.
After hesitating for just a moment, they gritted their teeth and continued fighting.
Lin Chaosheng activated the Blazing Fire Golden Saber Ban, having raised this technique to an extremely high level. With a wave, he summoned nearly eighteen hundred Blazing Fire Golden Sabers to strike down. Even if each saber only had a hundred damage, it was an immense burst of 180,000.
This burst was undoubtedly a top-level outburst among Loose Immortals, capable of breaking Tier Seven defense treasures in a single wave.
The endless stream of golden sabers bombarded down, making the Cyan Cloud Cover over Su Yu’s head shake violently with each hit.
Unfortunately, his opponent’s treasures and powers were slightly above average, comparable to those who had just established their Dao Foundation, and despite the burst, they failed to break through the Cyan Cloud Cover.
With a move of Su Yu’s mind, he activated the Thunder Gang Skill of the Cyan Gang Flying Sword and the Thunder-controlling Divine Power of the Purple Thunder Flying Sword simultaneously, increasing the attack power and speed of the two swords by 100%. Then, with a gesture of his hand, the crossed swords glowed and instantly vanished into a state imperceptible to the naked eye.
Lin Chaosheng saw nothing yet noticed his protective treasure light trembling violently, his defense falling desperately as if a floodgate had opened.
"So fierce?"
Lin Chaosheng instantly realized this, assessing in 0.1 seconds that his treasure couldn’t withstand the attack. Resolutely, he activated his magical robe and defense accessories, then summoned a white treasure gourd, spitting a mouthful of essence onto it. A dense, fine Geng Metal Sword Qi flew out, condensing into an incredibly sharp Geng Metal Sword Qi.
Su Yu immediately sensed the sharpness of the Geng Metal Sword Qi condensed by the treasure gourd, feeling a faint threat. Decisively, he activated his Sword Intent, slashing with the fused sword’s brilliance.
"Clang!"
The recently-formed gourd sword Qi shattered directly, turning into scattered fine Geng Metal Sword Qi.
"Oh, crap!"
Lin Chaosheng’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"Damn, True Sword Intent!"
Only True Sword Intent could enable a flying sword to directly cut through magic, known as the One Sword Breaks All Techniques.
Without True Sword Intent, no matter how strong the Swordsmanship, it could only sweep over the Geng Metal Sword Qi, unable to directly cut through magic.
Upon realizing that his opponent had comprehended True Sword Intent, Lin Chaosheng’s fighting spirit vanished instantly, and he raised his hand, shouting loudly:
"I surrender!"
As soon as he said this, his protective treasure light was torn apart by the imperceptible flowing light. A moment later, a Sword Qi that made his very soul tremble stopped at his neck, and the next second, a head flew up to the sky.
"In guild wars, there’s no such thing as surrender."
Having finished his battle, Qingchan had similarly dealt with another opponent on the other side.
The fusion of the two swords lasted only four seconds, and after a brief hesitation, Su Yu activated his flying sword to dive into the battlefield below.
Without strong enough experts to resist them, Su Yu and Qingchan moved as if entering a land of no one, unstoppable.
However, neither noticed, not far from the battlefield, among a crowd of watching Loose Immortals, there were two low-key figures inconspicuously observing Su Yu’s every move, occasionally communicating with each other in private:
"His strength is indeed very strong, having even comprehended Sword Intent. No wonder Xi Yi is so worried."
The other nodded and said:
"I would be worried too, with such talent that’s a sure sign of an Earth Immortal, and the probability is quite high. Which master wouldn’t love that?"
"In that case, this kid cannot be left alone, we need to find a way to disable him."
"Now?"
