583: Ten Thousand Swords Formation

Taiyi Relief-from-Suffering Heavenly Lord could not help but be stunned. He did not answer Tang Ku, but instead cast a glance full of shock at him before activating his sword technique to strike at Tang Ku once more. This time, the precious swords he controlled turned into millions in an instant, and every single one was authentic, not an illusion.

These precious swords shimmered with five different lights, corresponding to the Five Elements of "Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth." The swords, filling the sky with their varied radiance, descended upon Tang Ku like a giant meat grinder.

Taiyi Relief-from-Suffering Heavenly Lord dared not relax in the slightest, because the Tang Sanzang before him was simply too terrifying.

Under the siege of two Heavenly Lord experts, he actually still had the energy to speak, and he even asked such a bizarre question. Was this guy even human?

"An Immortal's Magic Treasure can be refined again... Is he mocking us by saying this?"

Taiyi Relief-from-Suffering Heavenly Lord thought to himself.

If Tang Ku had known, he would have undoubtedly denied it in a hurry, because he was genuinely curious about how the opponent's weapons and Magic Treasure had returned.

There was not a trace of panic on Tang Ku's face; instead, he was overjoyed. He didn't even activate his Xuanwu True Skill, but simply stood there with his bald head, took a horse stance, and forcibly withstood this round of attacks.

Clang, clang, clang, clang... Tens of thousands of precious swords—some freezing, some attacking with fire, some extremely sharp, some capable of turning his whole body to stone, and some even causing vines to grow on his body upon contact with his Physical Body, binding him up... In short, the variety of attacks was dazzling, and in the blink of an eye, Tang Ku's body was submerged in the rain of swords.

Well, the scene was truly magnificent, as this was the first time Taiyi Relief-from-Suffering Heavenly Lord had used this technique against a single person since mastering it. He had once used this move to grind a Thunder-Fire Ghost King from another dimension into mincemeat, leaving not even a soul behind.

With the power of the Five Elements enveloping the sword blades, no matter how high your resistance was, it was impossible to withstand it. Furthermore, these precious swords filled the sky and covered the earth; when fully deployed, outsiders couldn't even see the shadow of the person inside the sword formation.

"If it were me receiving this move... how could I possibly survive?"

Many Immortals and Buddhist Disciples who had not grasped the Law simulated it in their minds, only to discover that no matter what method they used, as long as they faced this move head-on, the outcome was certain death!

Seeing Taiyi Relief-from-Suffering Heavenly Lord fighting so desperately, Grand Tutor Wen couldn't help but frown slightly. With the myriad swords now formed into a formation, he could not intervene, so he stood to the side holding his twin whips, waiting.

He knew that with Tang Sanzang's strength, this kind of attack could not hurt him at all; the only difference was how he would handle such a near-maniacal assault.

However, Grand Tutor Wen had ultimately underestimated Tang Ku's integrity. At this moment, Tang Ku was buried in the rain of swords, secretly feeling pleased as he counted the massive amount of Iron Fist Points those bizarre long swords were bringing him.

"Hmm... the continuous burning from the flames brings quite a lot of Iron Fist Points, while the ice is a bit worse... Hmm, the petrification ability is basically useless to me... Hmm, the Wood-element Law is alright; it can damage beneath my skin, but any deeper and it won't work... Oh, and the sharp Qi has the greatest power, bringing the most Iron Fist Points..."

As the number "0.0001" kept popping up, Tang Ku's Iron Fist Points began to trend sharply upward again, and soon he had accumulated over 2 points amidst the rain of swords.

"I have to say, this Heavenly Lord-level attack is just different. That so-called Gouchen the Great Emperor from before, claiming to be some War God or whatever, was truly useless... Heh, this is great, really great. Starting a war with them all at once was truly the right decision!" Tang Ku thought to himself.

However, soon Tang Ku's body seemed to trigger an immune mechanism; his body actually developed resistance to all these attacks, and the growth of Iron Fist Points became less and less. Eventually, after nearly ten thousand swords, they couldn't bring him a single Iron Fist Point, and Tang Ku sighed helplessly... In the end, under this round of attacks, his Iron Fist Points rose to 3.9 and stopped increasing.

"Can't be helped; my body's resistance is ultimately getting stronger and stronger..."

Sighing helplessly, Tang Ku unleashed both fists and shouted angrily: "Break... for me!"

Boom!

The space in front of him was instantly churned into two massive vortices. Those Flying Swords were instantly sucked into them as they reached Tang Ku, and as his iron fists descended, countless Flying Swords were smashed into scrap metal in an instant.

Bang!

The Ten Dragons Ten Elephants Fist, combined with the Great Wilderness Divine Fist, actually smashed more than half of Taiyi Relief-from-Suffering Heavenly Lord's Flying Swords in less than a dozen seconds.

When Tang Ku's figure appeared, everyone couldn't help but gasp... Not only was there no damage on him, but not even his clothes were disheveled.

Taiyi Relief-from-Suffering Heavenly Lord was shocked and hastily retracted his Flying Swords... This Magic Treasure, which had not been refined long ago, had lost half of its Spiritual Qi in just this battle. In other words, there was no difference between it and being ruined. If he wanted to refine it again, he would need to search for many more Heaven And Earth Treasure. But now that even the Heavenly Court was gone, he couldn't find suitable items in those Immortal mountains... This made him feel incomparably pained.

Suddenly, he caught sight of Grand Tutor Wen watching the show from the side and said in a deep voice: "Grand Tutor Wen, are you not going to make a move?"

Grand Tutor Wen chuckled strangely and said: "I am waiting for you to finish fighting. Otherwise, wouldn't I be sucked into your sword formation myself?"

"If Grand Tutor makes a move, I will naturally control the Flying Swords to help you guard the formation... You wouldn't be planning to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, would you!"

Taiyi Relief-from-Suffering Heavenly Lord said in a bad mood.

"Heh, I will remember these words. If there is a chance to re-establish the Heavenly Court in the future, I will certainly report you to the Jade Emperor!"

Grand Tutor Wen snorted coldly and said, "Infighting is not a good strategy when facing a foreign enemy, understand?"

Taiyi Relief-from-Suffering Heavenly Lord was just momentarily angry. Hearing Grand Tutor Wen say this, he couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart and said: "Heavenly Lord, forgive me; I was too anxious... Hmm, my Magic Treasure is ruined, but I wonder what skills you have to make him submit?"

Grand Tutor Wen said with an air of composure: "Does a practitioner of the Dao lose their state of mind just because a Magic Treasure is destroyed? Have all your years of cultivation been wasted on a dog?"

Taiyi Relief-from-Suffering Heavenly Lord was speechless and merely cupped his hands in apology. Grand Tutor Wen did not mock him further and turned to walk towards Tang Ku, but he did not see the flash of ruthlessness in this Heavenly Lord's eyes.

"Tang Sanzang, I originally did not wish to be your enemy, but your actions are a slap in the face to all the forces of the Three Realms. I am unworthy, but as a Venerable of the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Mansion, I have the authority to monitor the good and evil of the world. In my view, you have already violated the Heavenly Law... Therefore, I have no choice but to oppose you. However... I am extremely impressed by what you have done. If you do not die in the upcoming battle, would you be willing to be friends with this old man in the future?"

Grand Tutor Wen chuckled.

Tang Ku cupped his hands and also smiled: "I wouldn't want anything else!"

"Heh, since that is the case... then let us fight!"

Boom!

A bolt of lightning flashed, and Tang Ku's figure had already disappeared. When everyone looked up, they saw that he had already been whipped into the sky by Grand Tutor Wen.
