"Good! It seems they hold not even the slightest regard for our Sword Emperor Pavilion!
Issue the orders. Prepare to engage the enemy!"
The Pavilion Master's face darkened as he spoke slowly.
"Pavilion Master, the Sword Emperor Pavilion in Tianxiong Domain is merely a branch division. We have no Heavenly Boundary Realm experts stationed here, so I'm afraid it will be very difficult to deal with the two of them," an elderly Elder said with a frown, looking rather worried.
"Do not worry. Although this branch lacks Heavenly Boundary Realm experts, our Sword Emperor Pavilion possesses several sets of powerful Sword Formations. Everyone should join forces to activate them; it should be enough to handle them," the Pavilion Master declared.
"That's right! If we have everyone in the branch combine their strength to set up several large-scale Sword Formations, we won't need to fear them!" the other higher-ups chimed in one after another.
A moment later, nearly everyone in this branch division of the Sword Emperor Pavilion was gathered together and stood before the mountain gate, their murderous auras soaring skyward.
A group of higher-ups clustered around the Pavilion Master at the very front, standing at the ready.
Roughly half an hour later, a green Flying Boat appeared on the distant horizon, cutting through the sky and arriving instantly before the Sword Emperor Pavilion's mountain gate.
"Oh, it seems they've already received the news and made preparations," Xuanlong Daozhang said with a smile as he, Ye Yunfei, and Cai Feng disembarked from the green Flying Boat and saw the gathered forces of the Sword Emperor Pavilion in the distance.
"What do you want coming here!" Seeing Ye Yunfei's trio arrive, all the higher-ups of the Sword Emperor Pavilion glared furiously, and one of the Elders barked a stern demand.
"Isn't it obvious? We've come specifically to settle accounts with your Sword Emperor Pavilion!" Xuanlong Daozhang laughed loudly.
"Hmph! Xuanlong Daozhang, don't think that just because you are a Heavenly Boundary Realm expert you can bully our Sword Emperor Pavilion! Our pavilion is not like the Tianliang Sacred Land! Our headquarters houses a large number of Heavenly Boundary Realm experts—even Half-Emperors! You are merely a Heavenly Boundary Realm expert; do you not fear our vengeance for provoking our Sword Emperor Pavilion?" the Elder snarled fiercely.
"Don't try to pressure me with the name of the Sword Emperor Pavilion. Since I've come here, I'm not afraid of you. I originally did not want to be enemies with your Sword Emperor Pavilion. However, ever since I emerged, your pavilion has repeatedly sent people to hunt me down! Moreover, the incident where Cai Feng was captured to blackmail me also had your Sword Emperor Pavilion's involvement! To dare capture Cai Feng—even if your Sword Emperor Pavilion has Half-Emperors, even if a Heavenly Emperor sat at its core, I would still come to settle the score!" Xuanlong Daozhang declared clearly.
"Since you remain obstinately blind, then there's nothing more to say. If you want to fight, then make your move," an Elder of the Sword Emperor Pavilion sneered.
By this time, the forces of the Sword Emperor Pavilion had already arranged several Sword Formations. Thick murderous auras billowed skyward. Sharp sword radiances continuously bloomed forth, causing the surrounding heaven and earth to continuously crack and shatter.
All members of the Sword Emperor Pavilion were sword practitioners with excellent swordplay skills. The Sword Formations they set up together through combined efforts were incredibly powerful.
"Then we shall make our move," Xuanlong Daozhang said coldly.
He took a step forward, raised the whisk in his hand, and swept it horizontally forward.
Boom!
The whisk in Xuanlong Daozhang's hand continuously enlarged, resembling a giant dragon lunging forward. Wherever it passed, the space ahead instantly annihilated.
"Everyone, with me, activate the Sword Formation!" Seeing the fierce momentum of Xuanlong Daozhang's attack, the Pavilion Master's expression turned grave, and he shouted heavily.
The energy possessed by a Heavenly Boundary Realm expert was far greater than that of the Unity Realm!
Boom!
The Pavilion Master and the higher-ups joined forces, each manifesting their own long swords. They linked up together, instantly forming a Sword Formation. Surging sword radiances shot skyward, congealing high in the air into a massive long sword that fiercely cleaved toward Xuanlong Daozhang.
Boom!
Xuanlong Daozhang brandished his whisk, colliding with the colossal sword. Terrifying shockwaves spread out in all directions, causing the surrounding heaven and earth to seethe and tremble violently.
"The power of this Seven Stars Sword Formation is indeed formidable!" The Sword Emperor Pavilion's higher-ups felt their morale surge.
Boom!
In the next moment, driven jointly by the combined efforts of the higher-ups, the massive sword once again cleaved toward Xuanlong Daozhang. Where it passed, space was directly sliced open, the cut surfaces as smooth as sliced tofu.
Bang! Bang!
Xuanlong Daozhang was enraged. Swinging his whisk, he met the attack head-on and engaged in intense combat with the colossal sword.
"Hmm, worthy of a sect founded upon the sword path, the power of this Sword Formation is indeed impressive," Ye Yunfei observed, carefully analyzing the formation and musing silently to himself.
Whoosh.
Ye Yunfei waved a hand, and the Netherworld Yin Blade flew out. It released torrents of black mist that spread and expanded, instantly turning a vast expanse of space pitch black.
Boom!
The figure of the Nether King appeared, reaching out to grasp the Netherworld Yin Blade before striding forward toward the Sword Formation.
"Everyone, listen! Attack with the Sword Formations immediately!" the Pavilion Master shouted.
The Sword Emperor Pavilion's forces had long since arranged their formations, splitting into three separate large-scale Sword Formations. Now, at the Pavilion Master's command, everyone moved in unison. The three large Sword Formations were simultaneously activated, surging forward in a mighty onslaught.
Each of the three large Sword Formations manifested a massive sword. A total of three colossal swords appeared in the sky, rumbling as they cleaved toward Ye Yunfei.
With a thought, Ye Yunfei directed the Nether King. Gripping the Netherworld Yin Blade, it charged forward to battle the three colossal swords.
The offensive power of these three Sword Formations was extremely strong, but the Nether King Sigil was proficient in all sorts of underworld secret techniques, and its combat strength was equally formidable. For a time, neither side gained the upper hand.
As for Ye Yunfei, he stood with his hands behind his back, remaining in place, releasing his Soul Power to analyze and study these Sword Formations.
"Hahaha... So what if he's a Heavenly Boundary Realm expert! Do they truly think our Sword Emperor Pavilion is the Tianliang Sacred Land? You may have destroyed the Tianliang Sacred Land, but you cannot destroy our Sword Emperor Pavilion! Moreover, this place is merely one of our branch divisions. Our Pavilion's true experts are not here. If the true experts of our Sword Emperor Pavilion were to come, the two of you wouldn't even be worth a glance!" A higher-up of the Sword Emperor Pavilion couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hmph! You dare to cause trouble in our Sword Emperor Pavilion's territory? Just wait! I've already sent someone to report to the headquarters. Once the reinforcements from headquarters arrive, your time of death will be at hand!" Another higher-up sneered.
At this moment, these higher-ups of the Sword Emperor Pavilion discovered that the Sword Formations they had formed could actually handle Ye Yunfei and Xuanlong Daozhang. They became very excited, their confidence brimming.
"Heh heh, you won't get the chance to wait for reinforcements. Do you really think these few Sword Formations can keep you safe?" Ye Yunfei suddenly chuckled coldly.
"Kid, these Sword Formations are among our Sword Emperor Pavilion's core formations. They are renowned and respected throughout the entire Feixian Continent! How could you possibly break them!" a higher-up roared angrily.
"The power of these formations is indeed quite good, but it's a pity you cannot bring out their true potential. For me, breaking them isn't particularly difficult," Ye Yunfei said lightly.
"Kid, anyone can make wild boasts! If you have the skill, break one for us to see!" That higher-up didn't believe Ye Yunfei could break these Sword Formations at all, and sneered mockingly.
"As you wish," Ye Yunfei responded indifferently.
