Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 136: Ninth Sword Formation

Chapter 136: Ninth Sword Formation

On the first day of school at Jiuyuan Academy, many scholars had not yet finished their classes, but many had already left the teaching hall and were looking outwards, creating a tense atmosphere.

Outside the swordsmanship academy of Jiuyuan Academy, a spiritualist suddenly exclaimed, "They're here! They're here!"

The other spiritualists were in an uproar and hurried back to the swordsmanship academy.

Su Yun had not heard about the battle at the Ge Wu Academy of Wenchang Academy, so despite the serious atmosphere, the scholars at Jiuyuan Academy did not feel much pressure.

They were all spiritualists who had cultivated their swordsmanship skills to an extraordinary level and were all exceptional talents.

Su Yun walked side by side with Wen Lifang and Zuo Songyan, getting closer and closer to the swordsmanship academy.

Wen Lifang's eyes flickered as he said, "Zuo Prefect, we are both from the Four Great Academies. How did we end up like this?"

Zuo Songyan walked faster, surveying the scenery of Jiuyuan Academy, and said with emotion, "I don't know how I ended up like this either. Maybe it's because the human heart is insatiable. We have already achieved a prominent position in society, with wealth and power passed down from generation to generation, yet we always want more."

Wen Lifang's eyes flickered as he laughed and said, "Doesn't Lao Piao Ba Zi think the same way?"

"Perhaps Wen Prefect doesn't know the origin of Lao Piao Ba Zi?" Zuo Songyan said, "One hundred and fifty years ago, there was a snowstorm, and some people couldn't survive, so they fled to Tian Shi Yuan and fought with the demons and monsters in the forest for food. They gathered the food they collected and elected the most fair person to be in charge of the food distribution. The first generation of Lao Piao Ba Zi from Shuo Bei starved to death because he distributed the food to everyone and had none left for himself."

Su Yun walked ahead and unconsciously slowed down when he heard this.

He had heard from Chi Xiaoyao about the meaning of Lao Piao Ba Zi, but he did not know its origin.

"The second generation of Lao Piao Ba Zi died in battle with the demons in the uninhabited area to find food. The third generation distributed food to others and starved to death, and the fourth generation died of starvation as well. There were even more Piao Ba Zi who died in battle or from starvation!"

Zuo Songyan looked at his cloth shoes and then looked ahead, saying, "Two years after the snowstorm, Shuo Bei slowly regained its vitality. Some of the people who fled chose to stay and manage the area, while more people left Tian Shi Yuan and returned to the 108 counties of the 17 states in Shuo Bei. The group that stayed behind established the later Tian Men Town, while the group that left continued to use the names 'Green Forest' and 'Piao Ba Zi.' Because they survived and walked out of the Green Forest, they found that they had become landless people, and all the land had been taken over by your seven major aristocratic families."

He glanced at Wen Lifang and laughed, "There are Lao Piao Ba Zi in Shuo Dong Chi Mei and Shuo Bei Green Forest. Who would be willing to go to the Green Forest or dye their eyebrows red if they could survive?"Su Yun was moved in his heart and silently thought to himself: "The Tomb of the Dragon Burial Case, the rise of the Seven Great Aristocratic Families, the Green Forest Gourd, and the Tianmen Town. All of these began 150 years ago. The source of all of this is probably from the battle between humans, demons, and true dragons. Why did they have to fight to the death?"

He was quite puzzled.

Humans, demons, and true dragons should all be the most powerful beings, so why did they have to fight to the death when they first met?

What caused them to die together?

Finally, Su Yun stopped outside the Sword Academy. The Sword Academy of the Jiuyuan Academy was magnificent, with a sword forest at the entrance, and various swords inserted into the ground and rocks.

Many scholars stood in front of the palaces of the Sword Academy, waiting quietly.

The palaces of the Sword Academy were much more magnificent than those of the Wen Chang Academy. Obviously, the Jiuyuan Academy was richer than the Wen Chang Academy.

This was not surprising. The scholars of the Wen Chang Academy were all from poor backgrounds in the countryside, and the tuition was low. It was unlikely that they could make the academy more magnificent.

Wen Lifang smiled and said, "Su Scholar, there is a rule in our Sword Academy. You have to walk through the sword forest when you enter."

Su Yun looked at the sword forest, where thousands of swords showed their sharpness, and there were many sword marks on the surrounding rocks and trees.

Wen Lifang reminded him, "This is a sword formation. After entering, the formation will be triggered, and the swords will fly up to attack. The scholars of our Sword Academy hone their sword skills here. These treasure swords have also turned into spiritual weapons after hundreds of years of honing, and their power is extraordinary. If you can pass the test of the sword forest, you can basically cultivate sword skills."

At this time, the voice of the book monster Ying Ying came from Su Yun's spiritual realm, saying, "Su Scholar, you are about to cultivate sword skills. You can try it."

Su Yun was surprised, "I'm about to cultivate sword skills? How come I don't know?"

"You have been meditating on that immortal sword for too long."

The book monster Ying Ying flew around in his spiritual realm and suddenly came to the sky, blowing a breath towards a certain place.

Suddenly, mist flew out of her mouth, and suddenly, the mist was divided into two by an invisible thing in the air.

Ying Ying said, "Others have been thinking about it for a long time, but you have become a doctor after a long illness. It's just that the sharpness of your sword has not been revealed, and you still lack experience. You can use the sword forest of the Jiuyuan Academy to hone your sword skills. Maybe you can make your sword skills take shape."

Su Yun's heart moved, and he walked forward.

"You don't have a so-called sword heart. You can cultivate sword skills because of your fear."

The voice of the book monster Ying Ying came, "Fear makes you imitate the immortal sword over and over again. Over time, the sword skills you have mastered have surpassed those of other scholars. What you need to do when you enter the sword forest is to overcome your fear, don't think that the immortal sword is here to kill you, but treat it as your own sword!"Su Yun took a deep breath and walked into the Sword Forest. Suddenly, the sword formation was triggered, and swords vibrated between the ground and the rocks.

Suddenly, a sword light shot up into the sky, and sword moves burst out from the sword light towards Su Yun!

Su Yun raised his hand, and dragon scales grew thickly on his arm, grabbing into the sword light.

The sound of clanging continued as the sword light pierced the scales on his arm, bouncing off one by one.

The sword light disappeared, and Su Yun's palm grabbed the sword hilt.

He flicked his left finger on the tip of the sword, and a series of sword lights flew out from the sword, disappearing only after hitting several zhang away.

Su Yun closed his eyes, and images of the North Sea, Tianmen Town, a huge water column, another world beyond the sky, and the immortal sword hovering in the sky appeared in his mind.

"My sword, it's my sword..." he silently said to himself.

The many scholars of the Sword Dao Academy saw him step into the Sword Forest and grab a sword with one move, amazed and discussing it among themselves.

"Brother Wen, how was that move from Su Shizi just now?"

The "Brother Wen" being asked was Wen Xiutao, the son of Wen Lifang. Wen Lifang was the head of the Wen family, who did not marry and gave birth to a son who followed the Wen family's surname. However, it was unknown who Wen Xiutao's father was.

Wen Xiutao was exceptionally intelligent and had extraordinary achievements in swordsmanship. He was the eldest senior brother of the Sword Dao Academy in Jiuyuan Academy and said, "His Qi and blood are vigorous, but he knows nothing about swordsmanship. He has no foundation in swordsmanship. That move looked scary, but he has no foundation in swordsmanship. His Qi and blood are too vigorous..."

He had just said this when almost all the swords in the Sword Forest whistled up and formed a huge sword formation flying around Su Yun!

Wen Xiutao's heart trembled slightly, "The ninth level sword formation is directly activated!"

The Sword Dao Academy's sword formation was divided into nine levels, and the power of the sword formation would automatically change depending on the strength of the person. The first level was only for the foundation building students who had just developed a sword heart. The second level was for the spiritual cultivators who awakened their sword heart. The following levels were determined by the number of heavenly realms that the swordsmanship gods had cultivated.

When it came to the ninth level, it was aimed at the swordsmanship experts who had achieved something!

Since the establishment of Jiuyuan Academy, there have been fourteen swordsmanship experts who could directly trigger the ninth level of the sword formation when entering the Sword Forest. Each of them left their names and their own swordsmanship imprints in Jiuyuan Academy, becoming characters that were passed down by later sword cultivators!

Wen Xiutao was also one of them!

He was about to cultivate to the Yuan Movement realm. In another year, he would leave Wen Chang Academy and enter Tai Xue Academy to study deeper levels of swordsmanship.

And Su Yun, stepping into the sword formation, directly triggered the ninth level of the sword formation!The sound of swords echoed endlessly as sword weapons danced around Su Yun. Every time a sword weapon vibrated, it would burst out six different sword moves, as if six sword masters were attacking Su Yun with their swords!

Su Yun hurriedly wielded his sword to defend himself, but he had never learned any swordsmanship.

In the eyes of all the scholars in the Sword Dao Academy, he was a person who could cut himself at any time with a sword. His swordsmanship was completely without any form, and it was laughable.

The sword weapon in his hand couldn't stop any sword attack. In a short moment, he was hit by countless swords.

Fortunately, his blood and qi were extremely vigorous. When the Big Yellow Bell was used, the bell rang incessantly and actually blocked most of the attacks from the Ninth Sword Formation!

However, there were still flying swords that pierced through the defense of the yellow bell and stabbed towards Su Yun.

Fortunately, although Su Yun was ignorant of swordsmanship, his other techniques were extremely powerful. A piece of dragon scales appeared on his body, blocking these flying swords.

When Wen Lifu saw Su Yun in the sword formation, his heart moved slightly. He called a teacher and whispered a few words to him.

The teacher hurriedly left, and after a while, he circled around the sword formation and came to the Sword Dao Academy. He whispered to Wen Xiutao, "The servant said that Su Scholar's divine power has a flaw. If there is a gap of more than a moment between two attacks, his divine power defense can be broken."

Wen Xiutao's eyes lit up.

"Your Yellow Bell divine power has a flaw."

Ying Ying observed for a while and said, "It's a momentary flaw. This flaw is extremely dangerous. If you can't erase it, you will never be able to compete with Di Ping. However, the most urgent matter is to awaken your sword heart."

Su Yun grabbed the sword in his hand and danced wildly, but he was still extremely clumsy and couldn't block the sword weapon that broke through the defense of the yellow bell.

Ying Ying looked up and saw sword lights appearing in the spirit world, colliding and striking around the invisible sword!

The sound of swords in the air continued.

However, Su Yun's moves were clumsy, but the appearance of the sword lights in the spirit world indicated that he had understood the moves hidden in these sword weapons. Therefore, so many sword lights were surrounding and colliding with the invisible sword in the spirit world.

This talent was truly amazing!

Ying Ying flew to Su Yun's spiritual side and said in a low voice, "Fear! What still restricts you is your fear of the immortal sword! Turn all your fears into your mastery of the immortal sword! Its trajectory when it stabs you, the moves it uses, and the immortal intent and immortal realm hidden in the sword, all of them are yours!"

"You don't have to fear this sword!"

"You can master this sword!"

"Let the sword in your heart be unsheathed!"

As soon as her words fell, a beam of light suddenly lit up in the sky of the spirit world, becoming extremely bright and dazzling!Ying Ying barely blocked the light in front of her, squinting to see the emergence of a fairy sword. The more the sword emerged, the brighter the sword light became!

In the sky, the sword lights began to disintegrate under the sword qi of the sword.

At the same time, inside the sword formation, Su Yun roared, and his sword suddenly grew, with an overwhelming sword intent bursting out.

Su Yun raised his sword, turned around, swept horizontally, and the sword intent penetrated the sword!

In his hands, the move "Immortal Sword Slaying Dragon" became extremely smooth. Before, it was the fairy sword controlling him, making his arms unable to bear it.

But now, he was controlling the fairy sword!

"Boom!"

Thousands of swords in the sword forest shattered one after another under the rampant sword light.

Su Yun suddenly opened his eyes and freely wielded his sword, the sword formation bursting and disintegrating, with countless fragments flying in all directions, piercing through the walls and halls of the Sword Dao Institute!

Suddenly, the sword light suddenly retracted, and Su Yun stood with his sword.

In his eyes, the imprint of the fairy sword had completely disappeared, leaving only Tianmen Town, Beihai, and the world beyond!
