Unreliable Sword Immortal.

"This sword immortal need not use a sword; a mere glance is enough to suppress ten thousand enemies!"

Lu Chaoding spoke in a deliberately profound and nonchalant manner.

He wanted to show off his invincibility to the many players below.

It's really just about showing off military strength and satisfying one's long-lost vanity.

However, the scenario that Lu Chaoding had imagined—easily annihilating the three sect leaders—did not occur. Instead, a pale golden shield appeared below, blocking the visual attack. Ripples appeared on the surface, and a golden sword shadow quickly condensed, counterattacking Lu Chaoding.

Lu Chao was startled, struck squarely by the sword shadow. He didn't suffer much damage, but felt as if he had been hit by a giant wave, and staggered.

"Ouch!"

Lu Chao couldn't help but exclaim, which immediately drew laughter from below.

"Haha, as expected of an unreliable sect leader, truly unmatched!"

"Just blast the Demon Heaven Sword Formation directly, awesome!"

"The Demonic Heaven Sword Formation can absorb external damage and launch a counterattack. It can only be broken from the inside, not attacked from the outside. Doesn't this unreliable sword immortal know that?"

"He definitely doesn't know!"

"Haha, that's hilarious! I thought this unreliable swordsman was some kind of invincible genius, but it's nothing special!"

"This unreliable swordsman doesn't even consider why so many of us are just sitting there motionless. Does he think he's smarter than all of us?"

Lu Chaoding maintained a good attitude, ignoring the ridicule from the other players, and began to carefully examine the energy shield below.

The energy shield was clearly the Demon Heaven Sword Formation that everyone was talking about. There were still some water-like ripples on it that hadn't dissipated, but after three breaths, the ripples disappeared and the energy shield became transparent.

"Junior brother!"

"Sect Leader!"

Ye Longxing, Xiang Ruyan, and the others flew over to Lu Chaoding's side, their faces beaming with joy as they greeted him respectfully.

"Hello everyone!"

Lu Chao smiled and responded to Ye Longxing and the others' greetings. He noticed that Ye Longxing's level had reached 120 and Xiang Ruyan's level had reached 118.

These two are already big shots in the Hongchen Sword World. When those reclusive old guys don't come out, they are the best.

After a brief greeting, Ye Longxing cupped his hands to Lu Chao and said, "Senior Brother, the Demon Heaven Sword Formation here is extremely powerful. It is said that it can only be broken from the inside. The Heavenly Demon is trapped inside, and the situation is dire. We have tried many methods, but all of them have been ineffective. We don't know what to do now."

Xiang Ruyan continued, "We have little knowledge of sword formations, so we have no way to deal with this formation and cannot save that female demon."

Lu Chao nodded and waved to indicate that it was alright.

The Reliable Sword Sect follows the righteous path and has now almost surpassed the three major sword sects, becoming the leader of the righteous factions in the martial arts world.

The Heavenly Demon Sword Sect has taken the path of evil, and on the surface, it is hostile to the three major sword sects and the reliable sword sect.

However, the higher-ups of the reliable sword sect all know that the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect is also their sect leader's business. The two sects appear to be enemies, but in reality, they are one family.

Therefore, when the Heavenly Demon encountered trouble, experts from the reliable sword sect rushed over to provide assistance.

"Even sword formations have their limits; there's a limit to how much they can withstand. I believe any sword formation can be broken by force. Just use brute force and a miracle will happen. Step aside, and I, the sect leader, will give it another try!"

Lu Chao waved for everyone to leave.

He was quite confident in his methods and felt that forcibly breaking the so-called Demon Heaven Sword Formation wouldn't be a problem.

Just then, a thunderous sound suddenly rang out in the void. Lu Chao let out a soft exclamation and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw lightning flashing in the distance, and someone was riding on lightning.

"True Lord Xuan Sha!"

Lu Chaoding immediately recognized him. He keenly sensed that Xuan Sha Zhenjun was coming for him, or rather, his presence here had drawn him here as well.

"Could this Mysterious Fiend True Monarch possibly track me down?"

Lu Chao frowned. He was not afraid of Xuan Sha Zhenjun now, and he did not intend to leave. He waved his sleeve and said to everyone, "You all step back. A master has arrived. I am afraid that a great battle will break out between him and me. Stay far away so as not to be caught in the crossfire."

Upon hearing this, Ye Longxing and the others did not say anything more and immediately stepped back.

Lu Chaoding then addressed the crowd below, saying loudly, "You are very lucky. My opponent has arrived. He is a sword cultivator from beyond the universe who surpasses even the Hunyuan realm. You will have the privilege of witnessing my battle with him!"

Soon, True Monarch Xuan Sha arrived at the top of the black stone platform. He did not come alone; he had someone with him.

That person was Qin Jiashan.

Speaking of Qin Jiashan, he is actually a top figure with multiple identities, such as the Right Protector of the Golden Sword Sect, the Director of the Earth Balance Department of the Great Yu Dynasty, the Shadow General of the Tianshui Dynasty, and so on. Ordinary players do not know that his true identity is actually one of the Primordial Sword Demons, the Extreme Sword Demon, who sealed his cultivation and traveled the mortal world, secretly collecting fragments of the Hongchen Dao Box.

It can be said that Qin Rockery is a very important NPC, and the system has set up many settings for him.

"True Lord Xuan Sha!"

Lu Chao looked arrogantly at Xuan Sha Zhenjun and said loudly, "A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days' absence. I am no longer the same as before. Come and fight!"

Xuan Sha Zhenjun merely glanced at Lu Chaoding and then ignored him. He pointed to the black stone platform below and said to Qin Jiashan, "Use your escape technique to enter the formation, rescue the Heavenly Demon, and help her obtain the Heavenly Demon Soul Seal."

Qin Jiashan respectfully agreed, then his figure flashed, transforming into a streak of black light, and directly entered the Demon Heaven Formation.

This sudden change immediately provoked a strong reaction from the crowd below.

A new character has appeared in the story!

"Who are these two?"

"They seem really powerful. Are they here to rescue the Heavenly Demon?"

"Good heavens, they actually walked straight into the Demon Heaven Formation!"

"Looks like a new storyline is about to unfold!"

"Hey, you unreliable sword immortal, come down here. What are you trying to prove by showing off?"

Lu Chaoding felt somewhat embarrassed as he faced the Xuan Sha True Monarch who was ignoring him.

"True Lord Xuan Sha!" he asked tentatively, "You're no longer a law enforcer, so why don't you punish me?"

Xuan Sha Zhenjun glanced at him and said, "You were able to escape from the clutches of Daoist Caesar and the others, which shows that you are quite capable. I probably can't do anything to you now."

"Oh? So you don't make a move because you're not confident you can defeat me? Does that mean you'll make a move if you are confident you can defeat me?"

"Indeed, it's more accurate to say the time isn't right yet."

"When will the time come?"

"It'll be soon! Until then, I hope you can hold on. Just a reminder, Daoist Caesar and the others are extraterrestrial cultivators who have transcended the Great World. They are ancient and powerful. They have something they want in you, and they will definitely come after you again. You'd better stay far away to avoid implicating your relatives and friends."

Xuan Sha Zhenjun remained expressionless. As he spoke, he pointed downwards, and a crimson bolt of lightning appeared in the sky, striking down fiercely.

With a loud bang, the protective shield of the Demon Heaven Array reappeared. This time, the crimson lightning struck the shield, causing it to tremble violently. Soon, cracking sounds rang out as cracks appeared on the shield. The cracks continued to spread, and soon, with a loud bang, the entire shield collapsed and dissipated.

The cause of this situation was clearly not the crimson lightning of Xuan Sha Zhenjun, but rather the work of Qin Jiashan, who had infiltrated the formation.

The crimson lightning was merely meant to intimidate the three sect leaders.

"Walk!"

Xuan Sha Zhenjun let out a soft shout, flicked his sleeves, and rode away on lightning.

On the black stone platform, Qin Jiashan and the Heavenly Demon, who had just broken free from the array's suppression, were simultaneously engulfed by lightning and followed Xuan Sha Zhenjun away. (End of Chapter)
