Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 106: Beichen Sword Sect at the Bottom?

"Kill!"

An Illusion Spirit Body suddenly burst out shouting at the lead.

The next moment, these Illusion Spirit Bodies charged toward the Yudao Sect disciples.

"Kill for me!" Xue Wen also burst out shouting.

Then he led the Yudao Sect disciples to attack these Illusion Spirit Bodies.

It must be said that the disciples of the Yudao Sect were incredibly powerful.

Especially Xue Wen, who slashed out, sending a three-meter blade glow that directly swept through five Illusion Spirit Bodies.

Those five Illusion Spirit Bodies burst on the spot.

The other Yudao Sect disciples also made their moves one after another.

Determined in their killing, one blade strike per spirit.

Spiritual Bodies of the Fifth Layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm posed no threat to these elite disciples of the Third Rank.

Although there were many of these Illusion Spirit Bodies, they were clearly scattered.

Basically, it was a one-sided massacre by the Yudao Sect disciples.

This first layer did not pose much of a challenge for them.

"It seems the more people there are, the more advantageous it is in the challenge of the tower," said Wu Biao, the leader of the four Great Generals from the Prince’s Mansion.

He came from a military background.

To him, this kind of battle was child’s play.

The unorganized Illusion Spirit Bodies were fundamentally not a big threat; it was all about True Yuan consumption.

So the more people there were, the greater the advantage.

"The general is right, but it’s not merely that. The Illusion Spirit Bodies on the first layer of the Illusion Spirit Tower have no organization to speak of, but on the second layer, the third layer, it’s different," Mo Qingyun said with a smile.

"Oh? So you’re saying their combat methods will change on the second and third layers?" Wu Biao grew interested.

"Indeed, they will change. As the layers go higher, their combat organization will also grow stronger. By the fifth layer, they will even form Battle Formations, so the difficulty of the Illusion Spirit Tower is not just about the increase in numbers and strength," Mo Qingyun said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wu Biao’s pupils couldn’t help but constrict.

With the formation of Battle Formations, their combat power would definitely skyrocket.

As a general, he certainly knew this point very well.

"This tower really is good for training troops!" Wu Biao commented.

Mo Qingyun could only offer a wry smile.

This Illusion Spirit Tower was one of the treasures of their sect.

Apart from the Great Formation of the sect, this Illusion Spirit Tower also played a significant role in the cultivation of their sect disciples.

Therefore, in this sect competition, they, the Li Huo Sect, held an overwhelming advantage and were definitely ranked first.

"Ping’an, what should we do? This Illusion Spirit Tower is no small drain on True Yuan, and I’ve heard that later on the Illusion Spirits’ tactics will become even more coordinated, making them harder to kill. Do you have a good strategy?" Long Yan looked at Xu Ping’an and asked.

Xu Ping’an fell into contemplation.

Indeed, it was too difficult to achieve good results fighting on their own.

And on their side, both cultivation and numbers were at a disadvantage.

The only method available that could increase their strength was through coordination and unity.

But such teamwork and unity required time to develop, and with the limited time available, there was only one way to quickly improve.

"I know of a Formation called the Five Elements and Four Directions Formation, suitable for five-person teams. I will teach you this Formation. First, familiarize yourselves with the content, understand your positions and what you must do. Once we enter the tower, we will fight while refining it," said Xu Ping’an.

"Good!" The four of them exclaimed in unison.

Having a Formation was much better than not having one at all.

Xu Ping’an then proceeded to explain the details of the Formation to the four of them.

"Qingyi, you’ll take the lead in the main attack, Long Yan you’ll be the secondary attacker, Tang Qingheng, you have high speed, so you’ll distract the enemies, Zhao Kai, you’ll support everyone and fill the gaps, and I will take on the defense, controlling the overall situation," Xu Ping’an finished his explanation and outlined everyone’s responsibilities.

The group nodded their heads upon hearing this.

After listening to Xu Ping’an’s explanation, they deeply felt the power of this Formation.

This Formation seemed to maximize each person’s strengths and then unite them into a whole, making their collective power reach a multiplied effect.

If they cooperated well, their combat power would certainly be extremely formidable.

Of course, they were also worried, such a formidable formation, coordinating with each other was certainly not a small challenge.

"Everyone need not worry, when the time comes we can practice well, and we should be able to get the hang of it quickly," Xu Ping’an comforted.

Everyone nodded, also full of confidence.

Following that, they watched the competition while visualizing their own formation cooperation in their minds.

Xu Ping’an smiled slightly.

Although their cultivation was low, their cohesion was clearly stronger.

Especially after having gone through a life-and-death experience last time, this kind of cohesion was something other sects lacked.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, Yudao Sect had already cleared the first layer and arrived at the second layer.

The second layer: two hundred Second Rank, Seventh Layer spirits.

The battle on this layer was clearly much more difficult than the one on the previous layer.

Although these spiritual bodies hadn’t completely coordinated with one another yet, their positioning had changed.

Instead of a scattered mess, they surrounded the group, using their numerical advantage to suppress their opponents.

This level put great pressure on the disciples of Yudao Sect.

However, Xue Wen was too powerful.

Although these Illusion Spirit Bodies formed a position, under his overwhelming might, their positioning soon became disorganized.

In the second layer, aside from one Yudao Sect disciple who was injured, the others merely exhausted their True Yuan and were not greatly harmed.

But when they reached the third layer, the situation suddenly worsened.

Three hundred Second Rank, Ninth Layer, and these spiritual bodies even knew how to coordinate.

They dispersed the Yudao Sect disciples.

The opponents formed small groups of ten, firmly suppressing the Yudao Sect disciples.

Three Yudao Sect disciples were seriously injured, while two suffered minor injuries.

But they still managed to pass this level.

However, at the fourth level, these spiritual bodies became even more terrifying, operating in batches like an army to tug and attack.

Xue Wen and the others expended a great deal of energy, and many of the disciples were injured.

In the end, with only Xue Wen killing five, they failed to clear the layer.

"Yu Lin, your Yudao Sect did quite well, being able to reach the fourth layer is no easy feat," a Great Elder from Tyrant Heavenly Sect said with a laugh, teasingly.

Although the words were praiseworthy on the surface, there was indeed a hint of mockery in them.

"Humph, Shi Tian, don’t get too pleased with yourself. It’s your Tyrant Heavenly Sect’s turn next; who knows, maybe you won’t even clear as many layers as we did," Yu Lin retorted bluntly.

The Great Elder Shi Tian from Tyrant Heavenly Sect smiled faintly, "Then rest assured, our Tyrant Heavenly Sect may not do well, but we won’t end up killing only five at the fourth layer."

Yu Lin clenched his fists, his gaze unfriendly.

Only killing five in the fourth layer was indeed a bit too few.

Moreover, Xue Wen’s strength lay in individual combat, this kind of group combat indeed somewhat constrained him.

"Hmph, anyway, with Beichen Sword Sect at the bottom, our Yudao Sect will just be third again this year," Yu Lin said coldly.

"Old ghost Yu, you’re speaking too soon," Zhao Tianlong said indignantly.

"Oh? Can your Beichen Sword Sect even make it to the fourth layer?" Yu Lin replied with a light laugh.

"Haha, Zhao Tianlong, I think what Yu Lin said is not wrong, your Beichen Sword Sect’s strongest is only at the Seventh Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm, this time you may not even make it past the third layer," Shi Tian said with a laugh from the side.

"Then just you wait and see," Zhao Tianlong retorted coldly.

Shi Tian and Yu Lin, on the other hand, laughed it off unconcernedly.

Beichen Sword Sect thinking of making a comeback?

How could that be possible?

Zhao Tianlong looked in the direction of Xu Ping’an and the others, his expression intensely serious.

Would a miracle occur this time?

It’s probably very unlikely!
