Ding!

Tong Shuyao's Affection Value +10. You have received a 10% cultivation return from Tong Shuyao's deceased husband!

Qi Chunshan is dead!

He was forcibly drained to death by Chen Qingfeng's Nine Twists Instant Kill Formation.

No one knew how Chen Qingfeng activated the Nine Twists Instant Kill Formation.

Even more, no one knew how he broke through Qi Chunshan's Nine Twists Instant Kill Formation.

Their Formations were clearly the same type.

Yet, the comparison in power showed a world of difference.

"Third Rank Array Master!"

"To be able to activate a Nine Twists Instant Kill Formation of this Rank without a sound, his cultivation in the Dao of Formations has probably already reached the threshold of a Third Rank Array Master!"

"You sons of bitches, did someone secretly visit Xiao You Peak?"

Qiao Zhenfeng couldn't help but ask.

Qiqing Peak, as a Peak specializing in the Dao of Formations,

although it had countless Disciples, only a handful, less than two digits, could truly reach the level of a Third Rank Array Master.

Chen Qingfeng had no Master, no connections.

He didn't even have the opportunity to come into contact with the Dao of Formations, so how did he become a Third Rank Array Master?

The only possibility was that one of these old bastards present had secretly pulled strings for him.

"You're talking nonsense, Old Seven, you're the Peak Master of Qiqing Peak, one of the highest-Ranked Array Masters in the entire Tianyi Sect, do you even hear what you're saying?"

"Throughout the entire Tianyi Sect, apart from the Sect Master's Hall, which Array Master above Third Rank didn't come from your Qiqing Peak? Even the managing Elders and executive Elders of the Tianyi Sect's Formation Hall are almost all your Senior Brothers from Qiqing Peak."

"So, are you saying the Sect Master's Hall pulled strings, or are you saying your Qiqing Peak pulled strings?"

Yang Dingtian, the Peak Master of Dayan Peak, immediately laughed.

He laughed at Qiao Zhenfeng's stupidity.

And even more at his madness.

He laughed that when Qiao Zhenfeng got anxious, he completely lost his mind.

Who is Chen Qingfeng?

A Disciple of Xiao You Peak.

What was Xiao You Peak's status in Tianyi Sect? What was its position?

For these Peak Masters and Elders, to even glance at Chen Qingfeng in the past would have been a reward, a divine favor for him.

And pull strings for him?

His ass is wide open, pull strings for him???

"Then how did he become an Array Master?"

"And a Third Rank Array Master???"

Qiao Zhenfeng couldn't figure it out.

Self-taught?

He couldn't be that abnormal, could he?

The Dao of Alchemy and the Dao of Formations are not like other paths; if something goes wrong with these two, it's a real explosion.

The number of Cultivators who died because of these two things is countless.

Just their Qiqing Peak's annual death and injury quota is almost one-sixth of the total number.

Self-taught?

He wouldn't have enough lives even if he had nine!

"Old Seven, have you damaged your brain from refining Formations daily?"

"Is this the time for us to ponder how he became an Array Master?"

"Shouldn't we be thinking about how to suppress him now?"

Lu Xuanzong was somewhat exasperated.

All of them were doing useless things.

So what if he's a Third Rank Array Master?

Is he invulnerable, or can he ascend to the heavens and descend into the earth?

Doesn't he still bleed when cut? Doesn't he still die when his head is chopped off?

"Master—"

"This Disciple requests to fight!!!"

Instantly.

Among the Disciples of the three major Peaks, some began to eagerly volunteer.

Among them, was Zhu Zi of Wuping Peak!

"Do you have confidence?"

Zhu Zi immediately replied:

"Ninety percent, I'd say!"

"Although he is a Third Rank Array Master, compared to my Sword, his Formation is definitely not as fast as my Sword!!!"

This was the confidence of a Sword Cultivator!!!

"Do not underestimate, go all out. When entangled with an Array Master, you only have five moves at most. If you fail to take him down within five moves, his magic Formation will take shape, and you will fall into a passive state!"

Wan Jianyi reminded him.

"This Disciple will remember!"

In an instant.

Only the sound of a Sword's hum pierced the air, and countless Sword Qi, like myriad arrows, shrouded the entire Void Realm as Zhu Zi's figure swept towards the Altar of Heaven Square.

"Om—"

"Om—"

"Om—"

The sharpness of the Sword Qi was no less than that of a blade.

The abundance of Sword Qi was no weaker than the rushing flow of rivers and lakes.

As Zhu Zi took a step, the layers of Sword Qi that enveloped the entire Void Realm instantly transformed into rolling stars, furiously attacking Chen Qingfeng.

"Clang, clang, clang—"

Under the Sword Qi,

Chen Qingfeng's figure remained motionless.

However,

around him, layers of protective Sword Shields, formed autonomously by Sword Qi, suddenly appeared.

"Sword Domain?"

"Is he not planning to use Formations anymore?"

Feeling Chen Qingfeng's Sword Domain unfold, Zhu Zi's heart trembled, and he inexplicably had a bad premonition.

Chen Qingfeng abandoning Formations to compete with him in the Dao of the Sword should have been a good thing for him.

After all,

he wasn't proficient in Formations, but in his Sword Dao attainments, he was a genuine Third Rank Sword Cultivator!

But for some reason,

when he saw the relaxed expression on Chen Qingfeng's face, he felt a subtle unease.

"Could it be... that he is also a Third Rank Sword Cultivator?"

"Impossible!"

"Whether it was his previous Sword-riding entrance or the size of his Sword Domain, these are almost entirely the methods of a Second Rank Sword Cultivator!"

"If he were a Third Rank Sword Cultivator, then these probing Sword Qi I just released would barely require his Sword Shield for protection; they wouldn't even be able to enter his Sword Domain!"

Therefore!

It is clear that Chen Qingfeng is merely a Second Rank Sword Cultivator!!!

"A Second Rank Sword Cultivator?"

"Heh! I was almost scared by your previous actions!"

"Since he's just a Second Rank Sword Cultivator, then, this should end now!!!"

Om—

It was the hum of a Sword!

It was the sound of a long Sword being unsheathed, vibrating the air.

Zhu Zi moved!

As he drew the Sword from his waist, like a streak of pure white moonlight cutting through the air of the Altar of Heaven Square, his figure was already like a swift lightning bolt, appearing directly in front of Chen Qingfeng.

"Om—"

A Third Rank Sword Domain instantly formed.

"Crack—"

But in an instant,

Zhu Zi's Third Rank Sword Domain shattered instantly!

The Sword in his hand shattered with a crash.

Myriad Sword Qi, like a torrential pear blossom rain, surged from all directions, piercing through his entire body.

"Pfft—"

Blood sprayed.

Zhu Zi's entire body suddenly flew backward and fell to the ground.

He lay pale and dispirited in a pool of blood, his entire face filled with layers of shock and terror.

"It's Fourth Rank!!!"

"It's a Fourth Rank Sword Cultivator!!!"

"He is a Fourth Rank Sword Cultivator!!!"

"His Sword Domain was a Fourth Rank Domain from beginning to end. It's just that beneath this Fourth Rank Domain, he also had a disguised First Rank Domain, a Second Rank Domain, and a Third Rank Domain..."

Pfft...

Another mouthful of fresh blood was spat out.

After Zhu Zi uttered these exclamations, his entire body, like shattered glass, instantly broke into hundreds of pieces.
