Chapter 167 Exquisite Sword Formation II

"Sister Shi, please be careful."

Shanzi shouted to Shi Lingxing and the others.

Upon hearing this, Shi Lingxing smiled slightly, and with a flash of sword light, repelled the invading enemy.

"Don't worry, the four of us will protect you."

Her voice was firm and powerful, like a flag on the battlefield, guiding everyone forward.

The Wine Spirit Star and the Tea Spirit Star are responsible for the defense on the left and right sides, respectively.

Their longswords moved like lightning, constantly weaving through the enemy ranks and cutting off their retreat routes.

Big Head stood at the back. Although his figure was not as agile as the other three, his swordsmanship was enough to shock the entire battlefield.

Whenever an enemy attempts to break through the defenses, he will unhesitatingly swing his sword to send the enemy flying.

Hua Lingxing, Shanzi, Xiao Lie, and Afu finally withdrew from the fierce battle.

Their heavy breathing mingled in the silent air.

Hua Lingxing spoke first, her voice tinged with weariness, yet still firm.

"So, how much internal energy have you recovered?"

Shanzi shook his head slightly, sweat sliding down his cheeks.

He replied in a low voice, "I've recovered 20% of my strength. I only provided support earlier and didn't use my full power."

Afu was also panting, his eyes flashing with resentment and anger: "Me too."

Hua Lingxing frowned upon hearing this.

Faced with such a large enemy force, every ounce of their strength was crucial.

Then she changed the subject and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean? The three who fought against the Spirit King were from the Shadow Organization..."

"What, people from the Shadow Organization?"

Shanzi, Xiaolie, and Afu shouted out almost simultaneously, their eyes instantly filled with hatred and rage.

Just as Afu was about to rush out, Hua Lingxing saw this and quickly reached out to stop Afu from losing control.

Her voice carried a hint of urgency and helplessness: "You're not allowed to go. I knew it would turn out like this."

You all act like this whenever I mention the Shadow Organization.

But Ah Fu, you should know that they are the top-tier experts of the Shadow Organization. There are eight people in the top tier, and they are all experts at the Great Yuan Realm.

"And you are only at the Great Harmony Realm now, you are no match for them at all."

Hua Lingxing sighed and continued, "Even if the four of us cooperated to use the Linglong Sword Formation, we would still be no match for one of them."

A hint of madness flashed in Afu's eyes as he almost broke free from Hua Lingxing's restraints.

"I don't care. The Shadow Organization massacred our Su Family Village. They are our enemies. I must avenge them."

Hua Lingxing's expression turned serious, and her voice was deep and powerful.

"Calm down! Ah Fu, if you rush over like this, you'll just be throwing your life away."

Have you forgotten the expectations of the people of Sujia Village? We must survive, we must become stronger, so that we can avenge our villagers.

Xiao Lie also stepped forward, placed his hand on A Fu's shoulder, and spoke firmly.

"Afu, listen to Sister Yang. We must avenge the grudge against Sujia Village."

But now is not the time; we are not strong enough.

"We can seek revenge later when we have enough strength."

Shanzi nodded, his eyes revealing determination and composure.

"Afu, listen to Sister Yang. We are no match for them now, so we must be patient."

Only by surviving can we have a chance to avenge them.

Afu clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with resentment and anger.

But in the end, he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He said in a low voice, "Seeing my enemy in front of me, yet unable to take revenge, I really hate it, I really hate it."

Shanzi and Xiaolie exchanged a glance, and they both silently patted Afu on the shoulder.

At this moment, their friendship and tacit understanding seemed to deepen even further.

Hua Lingxing breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the three of them gradually calm down.

She spoke again, her voice tinged with seriousness.

"You three, remember this: now is not the time to act impulsively."

Our task now is to hold off one of them. We just need to stall him; we don't need to fight him head-on.

When King Ling defeats the other two, the Qin state will have no choice but to retreat. Do you all understand?

Although Afu was unwilling, he understood that what Hua Lingxing said was true.

He took a deep breath and nodded: "I understand, Sister Yang."

Shanzi and Xiaolie nodded in agreement, indicating that they understood Hualingxing's plan.

Just then, a deafening roar suddenly came from the distant battlefield.

The four of them looked up at the same time and saw that the battle between the Spirit King and the three masters of the Shadow Organization had entered a heated stage.

The battle between the Spirit King and the three top experts of the Shadow Organization intensified.

The four of them—Hua Lingxing, Shanzi, Xiao Lie, and Afu—had their eyes fixed on the battlefield, feeling both nervous and excited.

When they saw the Spirit King fight against Black Soul, Purple Flame, and Azure Thunder single-handedly without being at a disadvantage, they couldn't help but cheer in secret.

The Lingxiao Sword in the Spirit King's hand flashed past Qing Lei like a meteor.

Qing Lei skillfully parried with a single sword flourish, and then Hei Hun and Zi Yan's swords followed closely towards the Spirit King.

When the Spirit King dodged with astonishing agility, the four of them realized that the battle was far from over.

Just as the Spirit King flashed away, avoiding the combined attack of the Black Soul and the Purple Flame.

She suddenly sprang up and slashed at Zi Yan with her sword.

Zi Yan was startled, but reacted quickly, dodging to the side.

Although he avoided a fatal blow, the hem of his clothes was still torn by the sword energy, revealing a look of surprise.

"Impressive skills!" King Ling exclaimed.

He then rejoined the battlefield, engaging in combat with Black Soul and Azure Thunder once more.

At this moment, Hua Lingxing and the other three saw Zi Yan temporarily retreat to the side.

They used their lightness skills to head towards the direction of Zi Yan.

The four surrounded Zi Yan. When Zi Yan saw the four people who suddenly appeared, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the sword in his hand was already poised to strike.

"Oh, there are actually people who aren't afraid of death and have come looking for us on their own."

"Go!" Hua Lingxing gave the order, and the four of them immediately launched an attack, setting up an exquisite array around Zi Yan.

This formation is a technique from the Linglong Divine Skill that the four of them practiced together.

This formation can concentrate the power of four people into one place, unleashing power far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Shanzi's body was as solid as a mountain, and he fought steadily, each sword strike containing immense power.

Afu moved with agility, darting around the purple flames like a raging fire, searching for an opening.

Xiao Lie was responsible for restraining Zi Yan, constantly putting pressure on him with his internal energy.

Hua Lingxing is the core of the formation, guiding its rhythm with her exquisite swordsmanship.

"You think this little formation can trap me?"

Zi Yan sneered as her sword flashed, colliding with the attacks of the four, producing a crisp metallic clang.

"Try it and you'll see." Hua Lingxing shouted, her swordsmanship becoming increasingly fierce, each strike aimed directly at Zi Yan's vital points.

Upon seeing this, Shanzi shouted loudly, and his sword, like a dragon, flew towards Ziyan.

Zi Yan shifted to the side, easily dodging the attack.

But Xiao Lie's sword was already upon him, aimed straight for his throat.

"Humph!"

Zi Yan roared, and the sword in his hand suddenly burst into dazzling purple flames.

It collided with the four people's attacks, instantly igniting the surrounding air.

"What amazing flame sword technique!" Hua Lingxing exclaimed, but then steadied herself and continued to fight Zi Yan.

The battle between the four and Zi Yan intensified, and the exquisite array, with the four working in perfect harmony, unleashed astonishing power.

Although Zi Yan was in the middle of the formation, his swordsmanship became increasingly fierce, and each swing of his sword seemed to tear their sword formation apart.

"Hmph, today I'll show you that no matter how many people from the Great Harmony Realm come, they are no match for a Great Yuan Realm expert."

Zi Yan roared angrily, and the sword in his hand flashed like lightning as he launched a fierce attack on the four of them.

Upon seeing this, the four felt a chill, but then exchanged a smile, their eyes filled with determination and courage.

They knew that this battle was not only to protect the Spirit King, but also to prove their strength and beliefs.

The instant that Zi Yan was entangled by the exquisite array formed by Shan Zi, Hua Ling Xing, Xiao Lie, and A Fu.

It was as if a delicate balance in the air had been broken.

A barely perceptible hint of relief flashed in the Spirit King's deep eyes.

She was finally able to break free from the almost suffocating three-sided predicament, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, reborn.

"Hmph, it seems that today is the day your Qin Kingdom comes to an end."

The Spirit King's voice was cold and clear, piercing through the clamor of the battlefield and reaching the ears of Black Soul and Azure Thunder.

Her tone conveyed both unwavering confidence in victory and merciless mockery of the enemy.

Upon hearing this, Black Soul's face turned ashen. He gripped his longsword tightly, his eyes flashing with resentment and anger.

"Liu Lingzhen, don't be too smug. Do you think you can have victory in the bag just because Zi Yan is entangled with the four of them?"

Have you forgotten about the two of us? We're not so easily defeated.
