Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 180 The Sword Breaks Through All Laws, the Conspiracy Begins to Emerge

The two teams clashed in the center of the canyon. Someone shouted, and a dense barrage of flying swords, magical artifacts, and spells rained down, instantly turning the battle into a fierce melee.

Outside the great formation, swarms of Gu worms gathered in the clouds and fought fiercely, with Gu Zhi Qiu's group of golden-winged flying centipedes standing out conspicuously among them.

Above the canyon, Su Yu, Chu Xinyue, and Qing Chan stood in the air, confronting five experts, including Lin Xuan, the leader of the Golden Centipede Gang.

Both sides only have one Loose Immortal, and the rest, like Su Yu and the others, are the best among the non-Loose Immortals.

This doesn't mean that the only top experts below the Loose Immortal level in the Thousand Star Palace are the two of them. There are quite a few others, such as Qi Dongyang, who is only one step away from transcending the tribulation, and Gu Zhi Qiu, who is also very powerful with his tens of thousands of Golden Winged Centipedes. However, they have to command the battle below.

Lin Xuan's gaze fell on Chu Xinyue, and he smiled slightly as he said:
"Although I have never liked bullying the weak, I need to be responsible for the guild, so please don't blame me for winning unfairly, Guild Master Chu."

Chu Xinyue didn't say anything, but simply gestured for them to follow, then took to the air, and Lin Xuan immediately followed.

A moment later, a deep bell rang in the air, followed by a deafening boom.

Immediately afterward, the sky brightened, and Chu Xinyue activated the Landscape Painting, unfurling a scroll that covered an area of ​​tens of kilometers.

Above the canyon, the Golden Centipede Gang left behind four experts who quickly activated their defensive magic weapons. Seeing that the two of them were quite young, they even smiled and bowed respectfully.
"You two, please stop!"

Su Yu and Qing Chan exchanged a glance, then winked knowingly at each other before simultaneously unleashing their power.

Luo Qingchan's outburst was very simple and unpretentious. With a shake of her two swords, she unleashed more than two hundred sword energies that bombarded the sky.

Although her sword energy doesn't have the double talent bonus of Su Yu, which gives her a maximum attack power of 40%, and only has the same power as a normal person at 20%, her flying swords are too powerful. Based on two ninth-tier flying swords, the single sword energy is more lethal than Su Yu's at present.

More than two hundred sword energies blasted forward, unleashing a staggering one million bursts within just two seconds, breaking through the triple defenses of a Golden Centipede Gang expert and instantly killing him.

Compared to her simplicity, Su Yu's outburst was much more flamboyant.

He started by stunning his opponent with a Hundred-Eyed Divine Light, and then unleashed a barrage of sword light, breaking through his opponent's triple defenses of a seventh-tier defensive magic weapon, a magic robe, and a protective aura.

"So fierce!"

Less than two seconds later, the other two Golden Centipede Gang experts, one having just activated a forbidden technique and the other having just summoned a Gu cloud, discovered that their two teammates had already died.

After only a moment's hesitation, the two gritted their teeth and continued their attack.

Lin Chaosheng activated the Fiery Golden Blade Restriction Technique, which he had already elevated to an extremely high level. With a wave of his hand, he condensed nearly 1,800 Fiery Golden Blades that rained down. Even if each golden blade only dealt 100 damage, the combined burst of damage would still reach 180,000.

This burst damage is absolutely top-tier among casual players; it can destroy any defensive magic item below level seven in one go.

As the golden blades rained down relentlessly, the Azure Cloud Canopy above Su Yu's head shook violently with each strike.

Unfortunately, the opponent he encountered was somewhat overpowered in terms of both magical treasures and strength, comparable to those newly established Dao Foundation Loose Immortals. This burst of power couldn't even break through the Azure Cloud Canopy.

With a thought, Su Yu activated the Thunder Qi spell of the Azure Flying Sword and the Thunder Control Divine Power of the Purple Thunder Flying Sword simultaneously, increasing the attack power and attack speed of both swords by 100%. He then reached out and made a grasping motion, causing the two swords to intersect and flash with sword light before instantly disappearing into a state of flowing light that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

Lin Chaosheng saw nothing but the protective aura trembled violently, and its defensive power plummeted like a flood.

"So fierce?"

Lin Chaosheng reacted instantly, assessing in 0.1 seconds that his magic weapon couldn't withstand the attack. He decisively activated the defense of his magic robe and accessories, then summoned a white treasure gourd. He sprayed a mouthful of essence onto the gourd, and countless tiny fragments of Gengjin sword energy flew out from the gourd, converging into a dazzling Gengjin sword energy.

Su Yu immediately sensed the incomparably sharp edge of the Gengjin sword energy condensed by the treasure gourd. Feeling a faint threat, he decisively activated his sword intent and slashed with the combined flying sword.

"clang!"

The newly formed gourd-shaped sword energy collapsed and turned into countless fragments of Gengjin sword energy.

"Shit!"

Lin Chaosheng's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Damn, the true essence of swordsmanship!"

Only the true essence of swordsmanship can enable a flying sword to directly shatter magic, which is commonly known as "one sword breaks ten thousand spells".

Without the true essence of swordsmanship, even the strongest swordsmanship can only sweep across the Gengjin sword energy and cannot directly cut through the spell.

Upon realizing that his opponent had grasped the true essence of swordsmanship, Lin Chaosheng's fighting spirit vanished instantly, and he immediately raised his hand and shouted:
"I surrender!"

As soon as the words fell, the protective aura was torn apart by a stream of light invisible to the naked eye. A sword aura that made his soul tremble paused for a moment at his neck, and the next second a head shot into the sky.

"In guild wars, there's no such thing as admitting defeat."

After he finished his fight, Qingchan took down another opponent on the other side.

The combined attack of the two swords lasted only four seconds before Su Yu hesitated for a moment before urging his flying sword to charge into the battlefield below.

Without a powerful enough expert to stop them, Su Yu and Qing Chan moved as if they were in an empty field, unstoppable by anyone.

However, they failed to notice that among the onlookers not far from the battlefield, two inconspicuous figures were quietly observing Su Yu's every move, occasionally communicating privately via telepathy:
"His strength is indeed formidable; he has even comprehended sword intent. No wonder Xi Yi is so worried."

The other person nodded and said:

"I'd be worried too. This talent is definitely that of a celestial being, and the probability is quite high. Which master wouldn't love that?"

"If that's the case, then this kid can't be kept alive; we have to find a way to cripple him."

"Are you going now?"

"Not now. This kid is strong enough. Without a master to put pressure on him, he can react to a sneak attack now. Besides, the girl next to him is extraordinary, and Chu Xinyue is nearby and can provide support at any time. Our chances of success are slim."

"After one failure, he became more cautious and it became harder for him to launch a sneak attack next time."

"When?" "Wait."

"wait?"

"Yes, there is a secret realm here, which will surely attract many guilds on the island to fight over it. Once one of the three major guilds enters the arena, and multiple rogue immortals make their moves, Chu Xinyue will be too busy to take action. We will then make our move."

"can."

After they agreed on what to do, they went into hiding.

Inside the canyon, Su Yu and Qing Chan unleashed their full power, wiping out a group of people in seconds, before hiding the rest inside the great formation.

With a flick of their swords, the two unparalleled flying swords swept across the Asura Blood Transformation Array, instantly severing the twenty or thirty flying sword magic weapons summoned by the Golden Centipede Gang players within the array. The light flashed and swept past the array, causing the defensive barrier to rapidly lower.

However, the formation consists of 108 array flags, with a total defensive power of over 3 million, and is maintained by the magical power of several hundred people. Without an instantaneous burst of pure attrition, it is almost impossible to break through.

He immediately transmitted his voice to Qingchan:

"No need to waste time, unleash a burst of power to instantly destroy several large formations."

Qingchan nodded:

"it is good!"

She reached out and grabbed the two swords, pulling them back in front of her. With a flick of her jade fingers, the two swords trembled and became blurry. With a grab of her hand, the blurry swords merged into one and entered a state of flowing light. The next instant, they appeared on the Asura Blood Transformation Array, sweeping around the array, causing the blood light barrier to tremble violently.

Within the grand formation, many players wielding the Asura Blood Transformation Flag immediately felt the pressure and shouted in unison:

"I can't take it anymore, I can't hold on much longer."

The two combined streams of light intersected back and forth until the swords finally merged and tore the great formation apart.

As the blood-red light dispersed, the four or five hundred Golden Centipede Gang members hidden within the great formation were all exposed. Su Yu immediately reached out and grabbed:
"Reincarnation Sword Net!"

The two thousand sword energies that had been hidden under the Asura Blood Transformation Array appeared all at once, emerging as he activated them. They crisscrossed and clashed fiercely, instantly killing nearly a hundred players who had not yet had time to activate their protective magic treasures.

A burst of energy erupted, and the sword energy began to dissipate, but just as they exhaled, they heard a soft shout:
"Reincarnation, restart!"

The sword energy that had just dissipated was re-formed under the impetus of an invisible force, and with a fierce twist, it killed another forty or fifty ordinary guild members who were caught off guard.

Before they could catch their breath, a bolt of divine lightning struck and exploded with a deafening roar.

When the lightning disappeared, only about twenty people remained standing out of the four or five hundred. Two flying swords swept across like lightning, killing them one by one.

In less than a minute, he completely uprooted the entire formation.

No one came to their aid, because the rest of the Golden Centipede Gang were tied up by the Thousand Star Palace, and the fact that more than 5,000 people with nine great formations were actually at a disadvantage against 4,000 people with six great formations.

At this point, the benefits of his previous efforts to provide substantial advantages to his subordinates became apparent. With sufficient strength, he was able to gain the upper hand even when outnumbered.

After Su Yu and Qing Chan defeated four experts on the opposing side and destroyed a Shura Blood Transformation Array, they still had time to rest for a while.

In the air, Chu Xinyue and Lin Xuan, the leader of the Golden Centipede Gang, were still locked in a stalemate, with no clear winner at the moment.

Although Chu Xinyue possesses powerful magic weapons, including a ninth-tier one, she has only undergone tribulation for less than three years and is a complete novice among loose immortals. It is estimated that most of her spells, forbidden techniques, and secret arts have not yet been upgraded to the loose immortal stage.

Lin Xuan has been a Loose Immortal for decades, and as the leader of a sect, he is wealthy and powerful. It's already quite impressive that she can hold her own.

At this point, Su Yu was certain that the Thousand Star Palace would win this battle.

After resting for half a minute to catch their breath and replenish their mana, the two rushed towards the nearest Netherworld Blood Sea Formation again.

He used the same method, but without the combined power of the two swords, his efficiency was greatly reduced. It took him two minutes, along with his own men, to forcibly tear open the barrier of the Netherworld Blood Sea Formation. Then came the massacre. He killed more than 400 of the 500 Golden Centipede Gang members inside the Netherworld Blood Sea Banner, and the rest all escaped.

Without rest, the two headed towards the third Heavenly Blazing Fire Formation.

As they attacked the third Heavenly Blazing Fire Formation, the Golden Centipede Gang gathered twenty experts to intercept them.

Su Yu wasn't stubborn either, and decisively ordered Gu Zhi Qiu and Qi Dong Yang to send twenty elite members over to help.

Now that they're vice presidents, having so many subordinates is to ease their burdens; why should they have to suffer the hardship of fighting twenty opponents by themselves?

He ordered his men to each block one enemy, while he and Qingchan charged in one by one. They only managed to kill six before the enemy collapsed.

The ensuing battle was a one-sided massacre. As one large formation after another was broken, the Thousand Star Palace's forces were freed up, and their advantage grew, gradually forming an encirclement.

The Golden Centipede Gang was now in a dilemma. If they retreated, the array flags they had used to protect them would be difficult to move and would all be unable to escape.

Let's remove the great formation; without it to hold us back, we'll likely collapse.

Dilemma.

　Robert Guilliman was slashed in the neck and poisoned by his traitorous brother, Forgrim, who had become a demon.

　　In order to preserve the flame, Guilliman uploaded his thoughts and will to a clone before completely losing consciousness, and then used a secret method to project it into a parallel universe.

　　After many years of wandering, the miniature landing pod crashed on a planet called Azeroth, where it was discovered by an elderly couple in Southshore, Hillsbrad Foothills, Lordaeron, who raised it to adulthood.

　　The fragile human alliance, the bloodthirsty and brutal orc invasion, the relentless Burning Legion demons, the magic-addicted blood elves, and the restless ancient evil gods!

　　Guilliman discovered that this place was practically a miniature version of the Warhammer universe, brimming with immense potential!
　　I came, I saw, I conquered!
　　Years later, Guilliman, wielding Ashbringer, descended upon Makurag, ruling over all of Azeroth.

　　"Heroes, begin the counterattack!"
