“I’ll still repeat what I said before.” Fang Qiu continued to say to everyone, “I am a human. As long as I am a human, I have weaknesses. I can’t guarantee that I will be a really good person, and I can’t promise that you will gain great benefits if you follow me. I can only guarantee that if you are willing to come, I will never refuse. If you want to leave, I will never ask you to stay.”
“If you come, you’re my brother!” Although these words sounded normal, they sounded aggressive when they came from Fang Qiu’s mouth, which made everyone exhilarated.
Fang Qiu smiled and said, “All right. Please make yourself comfortable. Let’s get down to business first. He Gaoming will come out with Liang Fen and the other seven people. Everyone else, please take a rest.”
Liang Fen and the other seven people immediately walked out.
He Gaoming also came over, which made up a group of nine people.
“The reason why I called you here this time is to teach you something.”
Fang Qiu looked at the nine people and said, “This is a Combined Attack Sword Formation. It needs nine people to work together to display the full power of this move.”
When the nine people heard this, their eyes lit up.
The others also retreated and sat down cross-legged. While giving the nine people enough space, they were all curiously waiting to watch it.
“Come one by one. Everyone, learn a set of moves from me.” Because it was engraved in his mind and Fang Qiu didn’t have time to draw all of them, he could only teach them by himself.
Fortunately, the nine of them all had a good understanding.
Fang Qiu only needed to demonstrate three times before they grasped.
After the nine people had learned it, he taught them the blocking, footwork, and the method of running internal Qi.
Although the others could see the sword moves of the nine people, they couldn’t practice them for they didn’t know the footwork and cultivation methods. They could merely watch from the side.
After learning the whole method, the nine people began to practice together as Fang Qiu was watching.
It looked like practicing martial arts.
Given that the nine people did not exert their internal Qi, it seemed that this set of Combined Attack Sword Formation was surprisingly simple, which made everyone feel that it was rather ordinary.
“Almost done.” Seeing that the nine people had finished practicing, Fang Qiu nodded with satisfaction. He turned his head and looked around at the people sitting around him, asking, “Does anyone want to come up and have a try?”
Everyone was stunned.
They were tempted immediately.
They were truly curious about how powerful this Combined Attack Sword Formation was.
The sturdy man was about to stand up.
“I’ll do it!” Li Boqing, who broke through to the fifth-class by a tap of the meridian of Fang Qiu on the island, stood up and said, “The strength of the nine of them is not bad. Except for He Gaoming, who is fourth-class, the other eight people are third-class. Since they are practicing the Combined Attack Sword Formation, the power of the sword formation will definitely increase greatly under the joint attack of the nine people. I have just stabilized my cultivation of the fifth-class. Now it’s time to find an opponent to practice. I can take this opportunity to compete with the nine of you.”
“Okay.” Fang Qiu nodded.
He could see that after he help him to solve his hidden problem with one tap and Li Boqing successfully broke through to the fifth-class, he began to spur with long accumulation.
Because he had been stuck in the fourth-class for too long, his cultivation after the breakthrough seemed to come smoothly. In just a few days, his fifth-class cultivation had been completely stabilized and improved a lot.
If he came to fight, it would be the best choice for him and the Combined Attack Sword Formation of the nine people.
“Come on.” With Fang Qiu’s approval, Li Boqing rushed over without hesitation.
He Gaoming and the other eight looked at each other and then took two steps back, forming a circle to surround Li Boqing. He Gaoming held a long sword in his hand while the others were holding branches and sticks found nearby.
“Let’s begin. Use all your strength. Don’t hold back!” said Fang Qiu.
He also wanted to see how powerful this Combined Attack Sword Formation was and whether it could make them surpass their opponent!
In the circle, Li Boqing was also ready. He stretched out his hands to his waist and immediately put on the two boxing gloves hanging on his waist. Then, the internal Qi in his body surged.
“Defend!”
As soon as He Gaoming shouted, the nine people immediately activated their internal Qi and began to cooperate with each other to launch the sword formation according to what they had learned.
The nine people crossed each other, which looked dazzling. But when they were crossing, they didn’t expose any flaws. Instead, every time they crossed, five people’s long swords would attack Li Boqing. When they attacked, the other four people also took advantage of the situation to defend themselves. No matter which side the person in the formation attacked, he would inevitably be blocked in an instant.
Seeing this, Li Boqing was dumbfounded before he could do anything.
He found that after he was in this formation, this seemingly simple Combined Attack Sword Formation actually had no flaws and even made him unable to attack.
Next to him, Fang Qiu also saw Li Boqing’s embarrassment and immediately said, “This is just one of the changes in the Combined Attack Sword Formation. As the battle begins, this sword formation can be transformed into offensive mode and defense mode. What they are using now is the defensive mode. This change doesn’t kill enemies, but aims to trap people!”
Hearing this, Li Boqing smiled bitterly.
How could he fight?
This was just one of the changes.
He could only force his way in.
But soon, he found himself trapped by the sword formation. He didn’t even have a chance to attack. He even had to block wave after wave of attacks.
This made him wonder if his strength was too weak to break this formation. He even felt that he would be exhausted by the running of this formation.
“I can’t break this formation. Change it to the offensive mode.”
After blocking two waves of attacks in a row, Li Boqing said with a wry smile.
The nine people who were using the formation all smiled.
“Attack!” He Gaoming shouted.
The figures of the nine people suddenly began to change rapidly. Like loaches, they began to race rapidly around Li Boqing.
At first, Li Boqing felt that it was fine.
However, as the first strike came, Li Boqing immediately realized that something was wrong.
Li Boqing, who was in the formation, found that the figures of the nine people began to blur as if they were fast to extremes. At this speed, the long swords in their hands attacked from a casual angle. He felt that the running of the whole formation was smooth, and for some reason, the whole area covered by the sword formation was full of saber lights and sword shadows!
One strike after another, they came from all directions.
The attack was incredibly powerful!
Among the nine people, only one held a long sword while the rest held wooden sticks. However, Li Boqing was only able to block three moves and then was hit by several wooden sticks.
The first strike hit his chest. Before he could take a step back, he was hit again on his back. Then he was hit again on his side. His chest, back, thighs, and calves were hit successively, which irritated him instantly.
“Stop, stop, stop! No more fighting. I lost!” Li Boqing raised his hand and surrendered, feeling wronged.
How could they do this?
Without having a chance to attack, he was beaten by the sticks randomly!
How was he supposed to make a move?
On second thought, if all these sticks were replaced by sharp long swords, he would be cut into pieces now.
Thinking of this, Li Boqing felt that it sent a chill down his spine!
Beside him, all the spectators were shocked by this scene.
“Incredible!”
“Li Boqing didn’t even have a chance to fight and were beaten like this.”
“This sword formation is too terrifying, isn’t it?”
Everyone exclaimed.
He Gaoming and the other eight people also stopped while laughing out loud, and then released Li Boqing from the sword formation.
“How is it?” Fang Qiu asked with a smile as he looked at Li Boqing who looked awkward.
“I can’t stand it. I can’t!” Li Boqing gave a wry smile and said, “This sword formation looks ordinary, but it is actually very exquisite. It can not only resist people’s attack but also kill people!”
“Okay.” Fang Qiu nodded with a smile.
“Boss.” He Gaoming walked to Fang Qiu and said while smiling excitedly, “This time, I finally believe that you know swordsmanship!”
Fang Qiu smiled faintly.
“In fact, I only know three moves. And maybe I don’t know anything at all!”
After practicing in the consciousness space many times, he had thoroughly comprehended the three moves brought by the divine sword. But, he found that no matter how he used the sword to attack or how he slashed, chopped, cut, or stabbed, he couldn’t put aside these three moves. It seemed that the three moves had integrated with all the moves of the long sword attacks in the world.
Although he didn’t have a move in his heart, he created a move as soon as he struck!
“It seems that the power of this sword formation is far beyond my expectation.”
Fang Qiu pondered for a moment and said, “Next, let me have a try. I’ll use the strength of the seventh-class to test the limit of this set of formation!”
In the valley, everyone’s eyes lit up.
They also wanted to know the limit of this sword formation.
Without further ado, Fang Qiu went straight into the formation.
“Those who have swords please lend the swords to them!” Fang Qiu said to the onlookers, and several of them immediately stood out and gave swords to the eight people who used wooden sticks.
“Only by using swords can the greatest power of this sword formation be exerted.”
When the nine people were ready, Fang Qiu said, “Come on, use the offensive mode!”
The nine people did not hesitate and began to fight in an instant.
Fang Qiu fought against them with the seventh-class strength.
As a result, after they fought for a long while, the fight ended in a draw.
Then, the nine people changed into defensive mode again.
Fang Qiu found that it was arduous to break out of the formation even if he was a seventh-class Martial Superior because the Combined Attack Sword Formation was too exceptional.
“This is terrifying.”
“Oh my god, only eight of them are third-class while one of them is fourth-class. How could they defeat a man in the seventh-class?”
“This sword formation is too awesome, isn’t it?”
Everyone was stunned.
Although the battle was not over yet, everyone could see that the offensive posture of this Combined Attack Sword Formation was able to end in a tie with John Doe. Moreover, the defensive posture could trap John Doe who was seventh-class in it and he could not move.
John Doe was not an ordinary seventh-class Martial Superior!
In everyone’s eyes, being able to be tied with John Doe who was in the seventh-class was equivalent to defeat a person in the seventh-class!
This sword formation was remarkable.
They were all Wulin people.
Naturally, they heard or saw some disciples of forces use sword formations with multiple people, but they had never seen such a powerful sword formation. It was so dominant that no one could describe its power.
If they took He Gaoming as an example, this sword formation was equivalent to helping him cross three classes!
