You call this the way of the sword?

Because of the dual shielding of the formation and the sea of ​​clouds, the powerful demons were unable to detect Yang Qingfeng's presence.

Qiao Lie couldn't see it either, but he could see the seamless connection of the sword souls, the demon race melted by the sword explosion, and witness Yang Qingfeng transforming into the behind-the-scenes manipulator, engaging in a battle with the strong-crossers.

This is all part of the plan, and it's also the basic procedure for summoning the flow path body.

I will not take action myself; my summoned creatures will do it for me.

As long as the timing is well-managed, and the cooldown of summons is perfectly timed with the death of summoned creatures, it is theoretically possible to continuously wear down the opponent, provided that the opponent does not become suspicious.

At this moment, four more Fengtian appeared on the battlefield.

Cloaks fluttered in the wind, and ghostly faces gleamed coldly.

Judging by their attire alone, they were no different from Yang Qingfeng and his group. The only difference was that their soul swords all emitted blue and white soul light and were too similar in style, which aroused suspicion.

The demon race's strong warriors held an absolute advantage, yet they were still somewhat intimidated when they saw Fengtian.

"Damn it, you still dare to show your face? Aren't you afraid of dying?"

"With the barrier sealing them off, they can't escape. They're probably determined to fight to the death."

"Are these guys really the newest members of the human race?"

"It doesn't matter... The explosions just now happened on both sides."

"You mean, each of them has that skill?"

"It's not necessarily a skill."

Both level 5 demons were completely humanoid, and the one holding the magical artifact was clearly the leader.

He surveyed Fengtian, which stood in the four directions of east, west, south, and north, and said in a deep voice, "According to intelligence, Fengtian destroyed our stronghold with this kind of explosion, but it's still unclear whether it was their skill or some kind of weapon."

"No matter what, there are only 10 of them, and two are hiding in the shadows... Send two to drag them out, the rest of you, attack!"

The level 3 Crossing Warrior is dead.

Level 4 defense is practically useless against Sword Burst.

While it won't kill you, taking damage in a low-level battlefield is already quite absurd.

The ferrymen dared not let their guard down any longer, but they had no choice.

The sword spirits' positions represented Yang Qingfeng's open strategy. They stood in four directions, hundreds of meters apart, neither too close nor too far, just enough to allow the group of demon race warriors to attack separately, tearing them apart into what looked like four small teams.

The opponent only had two level 5 opponents, and only they were able to instantly kill the Sword Soul with their swords.

Thus, the situation is resolved.

Yang Qingfeng calmly surveyed the battlefield, and seized the opportunity to use Sword Explosion again.

Boom boom boom boom!

Four loud explosions erupted in succession, and the sword explosions from all directions stirred up a large area of ​​flying sand and stones. The sheer force of the explosions terrified the demon race, causing them to abruptly switch from offense to defense.

As expected, the level 4 Transcenders all switched from offense to defense, with only two level 5 Transcenders still charging towards the Sword Soul.

The sword spirits did not sit idly by and wait for their fate; they moved as soon as their opponent made a move.

With the help of the sword explosions, they ran even further this time, tearing and expanding the battlefield at full speed.

As the battlefield expanded, the distance between the crossing warriors pursuing in four directions grew further and further, especially the two Tier 5 warriors who remained in Huicheng, who seemed to be isolated.

When Qiao Lie saw two sword spirits leading the level 4 cultivators outside the city, his heart skipped a beat.

Others may not understand, but he knows it all too well.

Yang Qingfeng, that freak, is almost certainly planning to kill a level 4 opponent.

As expected, after leaving the area of ​​Huicheng, continuous roars rang out one after another. The unparalleled impact of the sword explosions surged into the city, lifting the ruins on the ground dozens of meters high.

It looked like a tsunami on land. The overwhelming force stunned the two level 5 demons, leaving them speechless and incredulous.

If it were them, perhaps they wouldn't have died in such an explosion, but at this moment, they had just killed two Fengtian soldiers, and still left no bodies behind.

As members of the team disappeared one after another, only two lucky individuals who were assigned to search for Fengtian remained.

"How...how is this possible?"

"Hirakawa...when did Hirakawa ever have something like this...?"

The two lucky individuals were stunned. They stopped using their magical artifacts and skills, and didn't even notice the rubble rising silently behind them.

With several loud booms, the aura fluctuations around them were dispersed, the protective shields formed by their defensive skills were torn apart again, and the sword winds writhed around their armor and equipment, creating dazzling sparks.

Finally, their armor could no longer withstand the strain and tore apart.

A sharp gust of sword wind tore through their skin, and another gust swept past in a similar spot. Their skin continued to tear, and more gusts of sword wind followed, eventually affecting the muscles and bones beneath their skin and causing direct damage to their robust physiques.

Then a faint light flashed by, whistling past amidst the shockwave of the sword explosion. As the two lucky ones were blasted senseless, it pierced their wounds and lurked inside their bodies.

The prerequisites for internal blasting are formed.

Then the impact subsided, the aftershocks of the sword explosion disappeared, and just when the two lucky ones thought they had escaped a calamity, excruciating pain continued to erupt from within their bodies.

"ah--"

The internal explosion of the spirit sword is always accompanied by terrifying screams.

The two lucky ones seemed to have used up their luck in an instant, and misfortune struck. Their screams turned their years of cultivation into nothingness. Their level of 4th rank, strength, and equipment all shattered along with their internal organs.

At this moment, an eerie silence fell over the Huicheng battlefield.

The silence was broken only by screams.

Of the first wave of warriors who arrived on the battlefield, only two level 5 tough guys remained, along with two unlucky level 4 writhing on the ground, on the verge of death.

"Help me...help me!"

"They were inside me, inside me... killed me!!"

Hearing their screams, Qiao Lie suddenly wanted to know what Yang Qingfeng's expression was at that moment.

Should it be triumph? Pride? Or a cruel smile?

He couldn't imagine it, and therefore understood that the gap between himself and Yang Qingfeng was already infinitely large.

In the recent national college entrance examination, every candidate has already experienced the challenge of crossing levels.

There are actually many candidates like him who passed the test, which means that they all have the ability to defeat enemies of higher levels, and in fact, they can indeed do it.

However, the difficulty of challenging higher-level opponents increases with the level.

It's not difficult to go from a first-order to a second-order, but going from a second-order to a third-order becomes very difficult.

Because starting from level 3, there will be a Dao Body Sublimation, and the attributes will experience a leap in growth. Moreover, this growth is constant and will continue until the second Dao Body Sublimation.

In other words, the attributes of a 4th-tier item are several times, or even dozens of times, higher than those of a 2nd-tier item.

Faced with such an absolute difference in attributes, one's own Crimson Fire might be able to burn the opponent, but it would be absolutely impossible to kill them, let alone instantly kill or brutally kill them.

Yang Qingfeng's Dao body and potential are ten thousand times more complex than I had imagined.

His existence had a far more profound impact on the empire than he had imagined.

After reaching this conclusion, Qiao Lie smiled with relief, "Before, I just thought that it might be dangerous for you to live in this world, and that even the people around you would be affected, but that was mostly due to what happened to your grandfather. Now I'm sure... your very existence is also dangerous."

"Fortunately, you are human, and I believe in you."

After a brief moment of shock, the two Tier 5 Transcenders began to roar in fury, replacing their carpet search with indiscriminate bombardment. Amidst the earth-shattering chaos, wind, fire, and lightning continued to explode, and magical artifacts and skill-level abilities released intense spiritual energy pressure, threatening to sweep away the sea of ​​clouds and affect Yang Qingfeng.

Before that, Qiao Lie ignited the Crimson Flame and drove the warship out of the sea of ​​clouds without hesitation, instantly becoming the target of the enemy's concentrated fire, thus hiding Yang Qingfeng once again.

At the same time, the teleportation array on the ground fluctuated again, and more Transcenders arrived one after another.

But what greeted them was a furious warning from the first group of rescuers: "Go back!!!"
