I just want to kill you all, or be killed by you all.

"Fellow Daoist Su, your sword is neither fast enough nor sharp enough!"

Li Yang pondered within the Seven Star Sword Formation.

Sword formations are a method used by multiple sword cultivators to cooperate in battle and kill enemies.

Especially when facing a large number of enemies, the sword cultivators can maneuver through the air thanks to their high mobility.

Maintain distance from your opponent at all times, and while moving, unleash the sword energy or sword light of the sword cultivators within the sword formation.

"You are an inner sword cultivator, with powerful ranged attack methods, but neither I nor the other four fellow Daoists are. The attack range of our sword energy is not comparable to the sword light of the sword pellet."

Moreover, the distance is too great, making it too slow to kill enemies.

At this rate, not only will we fail to wipe out these demons, but we'll also let those two damned guys escape!

(Sword cultivation is divided into internal sword cultivation and external sword cultivation, which will be discussed later.)

Su Hen greatly admired Li Yang, but felt somewhat uncomfortable being spoken so negatively of him.

When everyone is practicing Qi cultivation, I admit I'm not as good as you.

But now that I'm at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, you still think I'm inferior to you? That's far too arrogant.

Su Hen didn't say anything on the surface, but simply tossed the array flag to Li Yang.

"Since Brother Li is so confident, then I will hand over control of the Seven Star Sword Formation to you. I have always admired Brother Li and would like to see if your sword is fast enough and sharp enough!"

Li Yang sensed the spite in his words, but did not offer any explanation.

After receiving the array flag, the array patterns changed, and Li Yang appeared at the forefront of the Seven Stars trajectory.

He immediately raised his sword, unleashing a torrent of killing intent that surged into the sword formation, turning it a deep crimson hue.

"What terrifying killing intent!" The other swordsmen exclaimed in surprise.

Su Hen's heart skipped a beat: "Just how many demons and monsters has this guy killed over the years?!"

The advantage of the sword formation is that it can balance the speed of the seven people.

Otherwise, given Li Yang's cultivation level, which hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he would need to rely on a sword-controlling talisman even to fly on a sword.

"This is the speed of Foundation Establishment... It seems I must establish my foundation as soon as possible in order to achieve a qualitative leap in my strength."

Li Yang used the power of the sword formation to directly charge into the demonic realm.

"Brother Li, you have no divine sense, so please don't act rashly!" Su Hen couldn't help but remind him.

Even he wouldn't dare to be so bold as to charge into the heart of the demon horde. If attacks came from all directions and he couldn't dodge in time, the sword formation would be damaged.

But he soon realized that his worries were unnecessary.

Under Li Yang's control, the Seven Star Sword Formation accurately evaded a series of evil spells and secret techniques. Even when it was hit, it was to create a better space for attack.

The sword formation opened a gap in the demon camp, and Su Hen and the others immediately followed Li Yang, unleashing sword energy and sword light attacks.

"Zheng—!"

The attack was too close; it was launched right next to the eight evil cultivators.

The sudden killing move startled all eight of them.

The opponent charged at them with seemingly reckless abandon, but crucially, they managed to dodge the vast majority of their attacks.

Thousands of sword energies and sword lights intertwined, transforming into a murderous rainbow that swept across the land.

"Hiss~"

In a single exchange, the four evil cultivators were pierced through the body, and their summoned puppets and blood-red protective shields were instantly destroyed by the seven's attack.

The other three were seriously injured, and one of them escaped using a top-tier escape technique.

The attack was effective immediately. Li Yang then manipulated the sword formation to leap into the air, causing the demons' attacks to miss their mark.

In another series of maneuvers, he closed in and began to kill, reaping the lives of these demons with madness.

The infamous demons, now under Li Yang's suppression, are rapidly losing numbers.

Although the Seven Star Sword Formation also suffered damage, it was well worth it to save the lives of nearly twenty demons!

"Damn it! These swordsmen from the Sword Alliance possess advanced sword techniques. We don't have any numerical advantage. Let's go!"

"The Demon Prince has already escaped with the mortal form of the Ning family patriarch. Let's hurry!"

"Damn sword cultivator! Everyone else went after that mortal body, but this sword cultivator insists on going against us!"

They wanted to leave, but Li Yang wouldn't let them have their way.

In just a few breaths, the dozen or so people were either killed or fled.

Li Yang had no intention of pursuing the matter further; there was still an even more important evil that had not been dealt with.

They immediately gave chase in the direction the mysterious male cultivator and Bai Nishang had fled.

"Junior brother, stop chasing."

Ning Xinyao did not leave.

She summoned a flying boat and placed nearly two hundred mortals, along with her three other guards, on it, accompanied by Bai Nishang's maid, Xiao Feng.

She never expected Li Yang to be so monstrous.

He manipulated the sword formation and wiped out a group of demons.

At this moment, Li Yang's eyes were glowing red; he was completely intoxicated.

"Bai Nishang colluded with evil spirits and revealed her whereabouts to them. Her crime deserves death; she cannot be spared!"

Upon hearing this, the six swordsmen who had been following behind him, enjoying their killing spree, immediately widened their eyes.

Dude, you're going to kill that giant's mortal form?!

Ning Xinyao did not stop her.

Instead, he took the hand of his maid Xiaofeng and stepped onto the flying sword.

He said to another guard, "I'll lend you the flying boat to take them back to Yongning County."

Li Yang frowned slightly:

"Why are you bringing her along?"

"I feel a strong connection with her, and it just so happens that my cave dwelling is short of a maid to serve me."

Li Yang didn't ask any further questions.

Following the chaotic fluctuations of spiritual energy, he leaped forward with his sword.

During this time, one could feel the intense battle fluctuations ahead, showing that everyone was fighting desperately for the sake of the Ning family patriarch's mortal body.

"Brother Li, you've only just begun practicing Qi cultivation, and your master has already taught you how to fight with a sword?" Su Hen asked.

His eyes no longer held any resentment.

If this swordsmanship friend weren't lacking in cultivation talent, he would definitely be among the top twenty on the Kunzhou Pride Ranking by now!

"Is this the Vertical Sword?" Li Yang asked rhetorically.

He had only heard of the vertical sword technique.

In short, it means: by judging the positions of both sides, compressing the opponent's escape space, and guiding the battlefield situation into a rhythm that is favorable to oneself.

Su Hen: "..."

His master and fellow disciples had taught him many times, but he had only grasped the basics.

As a result, he had already mastered the essence even before his master had taught him.

You could say he's talented, but at the same age, he's already at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, while he failed to break through to Foundation Establishment, so he's only at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage.

But if you say he lacks talent, he can master swordsmanship without a teacher; he's practically a born swordsman.

The chase lasted for half a day.

Li Yang finally saw them.

They were fighting each other, and the aftershocks of their battle destroyed most of a village below, killing and injuring hundreds of mortals.

"Please leave this mortal village immediately! Your intentional attack on mortals during this magical duel is a provocation against the rules of the Sword Alliance!"

The dozen or so cultivators who were fighting frowned, and even when they saw the recording stone in Su Hen's hand, they had no intention of leaving.

Because one of the demons from the Blood River Path is absorbing the blood essence of mortals from the village below to fuel his battles.

"Why waste your breath on them!" Li Yang's words were completely different from Su Hen's kind advice.

He directly controlled the Seven Star Sword Formation and killed anyone he saw.

"If you're not leaving, then nobody's leaving!"
