Chapter 379: Conquering the Enemy without Fighting
Swish, swish, swish!
Looking at the thousands of sword energies densely packed above Xu Jun's head, Ye Wanqing did not attack immediately, but watched silently with satisfaction.
Although many people have reported to him that Xu Jun has already performed a thousand sword formation in Fengshan Blessed Land.
However, thinking of Xu Jun's age and the time he has practiced, Ye Wanqing always feels like he is in a dream.
Now, it is the first time he has officially seen Xu Jun perform a thousand sword formation.
At this moment, his joy and satisfaction are greater than everything else.
You know, Xu Jun was recruited when he was in charge of the general affairs of the Natural Dao Palace, and his growth experience will always have his own credit.
This is only now. If Xu Jun succeeds in the Nascent Soul Transformation in the future, and even promotes to the God Transformation...
At that time, his name may be engraved in the textbook forever.
As for Xu Jun's ability to transform into a Nascent Soul and a God? Others may still ask, do you have confidence? But Ye Wanqing, who has watched Xu Jun grow up all the way, is more confident than Xu Jun himself.
Nodding slightly, Ye Wanqing gently waved his sleeves.
Suddenly, sword qi was released from his body.
Thousands of sword qi.
The same thousands of sword qi gradually condensed into a huge sword formation behind Ye Wanqing.
This is a sword formation with endless ripples of light.
Xu Jun's eyes were like lightning, and he recognized it immediately after scanning it with his mind.
This is a water-based sword formation, which is good at defense and siege, and it is said that it also has some healing ability.
This sword formation is a very powerful sword formation even in the Taoist Palace Treasure.
According to Xu Jun's understanding, this sword formation has the true meaning of the water-based avenue, and a little bit of the true meaning of the avenue of "life".
The sword qi of both sides has not yet officially come into contact, but Xu Jun has already judged it.
These two familiar avenues are slowly rippling in Ye Wanqing's sword formation.
Before he made a move, he had already surrounded this area tightly.
If it was two years ago, Xu Jun would definitely not fight hard, but would immediately think of how to escape far away.
But now, he snorted lightly and flicked his fingers.
A wisp of sword energy was released from the positive and negative five elements of life and death sword formation and flew towards Ye Wanqing.
Ye Wanqing looked at the direction of the sword energy release and couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
He knew that this was a friendly ceremony between two familiar sword cultivators before the formal competition.
Both sides each released a sword energy, and then competed with a single sword energy.
A single sword energy is nothing in the thousand sword formation, just one, even if it is lost, it can be replenished immediately.
Normally, it is not so easy to completely make up for the power in the origin of sword energy.
But if you can open up a thousand sword energy origins, then a mere sword energy can be instantly replenished.
Such a competition, with a friendly nature, is the best way to verify the power of the sword energy of both sides.
Unless it is the kind of strange sword way that specializes in one sword, otherwise on the kingly sword, the more sword energy there is, the smaller the impact of the power of a single sword energy can cause.
However, although the impact of the sword energy when the thousand swords form a formation is negligible, in the single sword energy contest between the two sides, the winner can always gain a huge psychological advantage.
However, looking at this sword energy that keeps rising and falling, exuding the four words "Come and hit me", Ye Wanqing's heart is full of doubts.
Generally speaking, such a challenge is initiated by a powerful cultivator to one who is not as good as himself.
Because this also has a hint of guidance.
However, Xu Jun actually took the initiative to invite a fight, which made Ye Wanqing angry and amused.
Without saying anything, he waved his sleeves again.
So, from the thousand sword energies he laid, one of them flew out.
Xu Jun raised his eyebrows, and there was actually a little expectation in his heart.
Now he is a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.
But Ye Wanqing is already at the peak of golden elixir.
The gap between them was so huge that it was shocking.
Generally speaking, if he took the initiative to challenge with a single sword energy, it would be a humiliation for himself. But Xu Jun just wanted to try whether the sword energy that contained his various powers could compete with the peak of the golden elixir.
In an instant, the two sword energies collided with each other.
After releasing a sword energy, the main goal of the sword cultivators who practiced the way of the king sword was to confirm the strength of the opponent's sword energy.
If it was much stronger than his own, then the thousand sword formation he set up would definitely not be enough.
But if the opponent's sword energy was only slightly better than his own, then in the subsequent formal confrontation, he would have to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and use the overall sword formation to win.
This was a test, and also a crucial information exchange that could not be missed.
"Boom..."
The collision of the two sword energies was like Mars hitting the earth, setting off a strange phenomenon of wind and clouds.
Then, the two sword energies retreated separately.
Ye Wanqing's eyes suddenly widened. What did he see?
The two sword energies that had been prepared collided like wind and fire, but the result was... a tie?
Oh, that's not right.
It should be said that the sword energy that he had cultivated for hundreds of years still had a slight advantage.
At least, after the collision of the sword energies, his sword energy was cracked with countless lines, as if it would collapse at any time.
But the sword energy released by Xu Jun was inevitably more tragic.
After the bombardment, the sword energy actually broke into pieces.
Although this point was only about one-tenth of the range, losing was losing. Even if it was only a little bit, it was still a loss.
But how could this be possible?
Ye Wanqing couldn't believe it, and Huang Kan Zhenjun, who was watching the battle, slowly and silently put the three beards that he accidentally cut off just now into his sleeves.
The strength of the sword energy origin of the middle stage of foundation building was only a little weaker than Ye Wanqing's sword energy origin.
If this matter was spread...
They really doubted whether anyone would believe it.
Ye Wanqing looked up and glanced at the sword energy that had retreated. His expression was quite solemn. He said, "Well, Daozi's sword energy is so powerful, which is a cause for celebration."
Xu Jun waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Thank you, Principal Ye, for your compliment." After a pause, he seemed to want to comfort Ye Wanqing, so he added, "It's still not as good as your sword energy."
Huang Kan Zhenjun and Ye Wanqing: ...
Damn, are you comforting me? Or are you here to ridicule me?
My sword energy is the stuff that I have practiced for hundreds of years, and how old is that little guy? Not even a fraction of Ye Wanqing.
But you actually expect the sword energy you release to surpass Principal Ye's hundreds of years of hard practice, how is that possible?
However, although the two of them knew it was impossible, they didn't know why they felt sour in their hearts.
Ye Wanqing gathered his mind and said, "Okay, the single sword energy exchange is over, let's fight."
"Yes."
Xu Jun nodded, flicked his finger, and the positive and negative five-element life and death sword formation above his head immediately began to rotate.
Suddenly, a terrifying aura descended from the sky and expanded rapidly with the five-element sword formation as the center.
"Hmph." Ye Wanqing snorted coldly.
In the past, you met ordinary cultivators, so when you released the thousand swords into a formation, you would have a feeling of being invincible in the world.
Otherwise, Xu Jun would not have taken the initiative to initiate a sword energy duel in such an occasion.
But now you are meeting me.
Let me show you the true strength of my hundreds of years of research on the sword formation.
With Ye Wanqing's cold snort, the air suddenly became stagnant.
It was an extremely strong sense of oppression, as if the space here suddenly became under deep water.
The huge pressure squeezed from all directions, making it almost impossible for people to breathe.
Xu Jun's eyes sparkled, and he was eager to try.
Is this the true strength of the top Jindan peak cultivators in the Immortal Alliance?
Ye Wanqing is definitely not the first person below the Yuanying stage in the Immortal Alliance, but his strength is definitely above the average of all the Jindan peak cultivators.
It is undoubtedly a big challenge to fight against an opponent like him.
Xu Jun felt the surging pressure change, and what surprised him was that this pressure actually had an extremely strange characteristic.
It seemed that this pressure could pass through the defense of his sword formation and act directly on himself.
But how could this be possible!
Both of them operated a thousand sword formation. If one party wanted to directly hurt the other party, then unless the thousand sword formation was broken in an instant, such a thing would be impossible.
However, what Xu Jun felt now was the direct pressure from Ye Wanqing's sword formation. It seemed that its power could invade Xu Jun's sword formation through the weak points.
With a slight frown on his brows, Xu Jun knew that Ye Wanqing must have used some secret method that he didn't know, so he could create such a strange effect.
However, before the two sides started the formal fight, Ye Wanqing had already used this trump card first, which shows how strong the pressure Xu Jun put on him was.
With a smile, Xu Jun raised his eyes slightly and said, "Principal Ye, be careful."
In an instant, the Thousand Swords Formation above Xu Jun's head began to rotate rapidly.
At the same time, the power of the five elements began to flow, and a trace of surging power was slowly released.
Alien energy.
Sure enough, when the sword formation began to operate and also integrated the true meaning of the five elements, Xu Jun felt it.
In his own sword formation, there was indeed a trace of alien energy.
The penetration power of these energies was extremely powerful. Before he had yet to stimulate the true meaning of the great way, he could enter Xu Jun's sword formation as if he was in an empty space.
That is, Xu Jun immediately released the true meaning of the great way.
Under the search of the true meaning of the great way, these alien energies could no longer hide from the sky.
So, in just a moment, there was no trace of alien energy in the sword formation.
"Huh?" Ye Wanqing was quite surprised.
His Thousand Swords Formation was forged after hundreds of years of hard work, and the water-based penetration characteristics were cultivated to the fullest by him.
Even if he encountered the true meaning of the Great Dao of others, he could often seize the initiative when they were least expected.
Once he had the initiative, it would not be easy to expel Ye Wanqing's power.
Even if he encountered a sword cultivator of the same level, and the two Thousand Swords Formations met, Ye Wanqing was confident that he could penetrate all the way to the end after taking the initiative.
However, he could never have imagined that Xu Jun had already crushed his penetration with just a turn of the Five Elements True Meaning!
Although only the infiltration of the true meaning in Xu Jun's sword formation was gone, it was still beyond his expectations.
In this contest of true meaning between the two sides, Ye Wanqing felt a feeling of being completely crushed.
Even in Xu Jun's territory, he had not experienced this feeling for nearly a hundred years.
With a slight movement of his mind, Ye Wanqing raised his hand.
Since the little tricks are useless, let's show our strength.
"Hua Hua Hua..."
The sound of waves of huge waves bombarding from top to bottom sounded. Under Ye Wanqing's control, the Thousand Swords Formation turned into a vast ocean, raising a hundred-meter-high wave, and fell towards Xu Jun like a mountain.
Although the water of the five elements is not the first in attack power and damage.
However, when the water force accumulates to the extreme, its power is unstoppable.
The air is filled with the powerful true meaning of water, and the rich breath of the avenue seems to make the whole world tremble.
Huang Kan Zhenjun, who was watching, nodded slightly. Wan Qing's sword realm was getting stronger and stronger.
His understanding of the true meaning of the Great Way of Water was also gradually perfected, reaching the minimum standard of the Infant Formation.
Perhaps in a few decades, when he can exchange for the Infant Formation Pill, he can officially resign from the position of Executive Vice President and start preparing for the Infant Formation.
Then, how will Xu Jun resist? It is really exciting.
The next moment, Xu Jun also raised his hand and pointed at the sky.
So, the thousand sword energies above his head suddenly began to concentrate inwards, accompanied by a huge roar, and the thousand sword energies actually condensed into a pillar.
The ultimate of earth - the pillar of the sky!
Yes, among the five elements, earth overcomes water.
So Xu Jun's choice was not wrong.
However, the so-called mutual restraint that ignores quantity and quality is often false.
How can a cup of water extinguish a car firewood? So at this time, Huang Kan Zhenjun was also slightly focused. Once Xu Jun's thousand sword formation was defeated, he would immediately go down to rescue.
"Boom..."
A huge roar sounded, and the surging 100-meter-high wave finally hit the Optimus Prime.
The Optimus Prime swayed several times, and suddenly cracks appeared on the pillar, and then it collapsed under the continuous impact of the waves.
Huang Kan Zhenjun raised his eyebrows and sighed in his heart.
Xu Jun's ability to respond and the true meaning of the Great Dao he displayed were actually quite impressive.
But after all, he was only a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, how could he be compared with Ye Wanqing who had practiced hard for hundreds of years.
So, it was reasonable that his earth-based sword formation failed to resist.
However, just when Huang Kan Zhenjun wanted to make a move, his face suddenly changed.
Because he sensed that under the collapsed Optimus Prime, a surging and sharp meaning emerged.
The Great Dao of Gold is sharp and unparalleled.
Countless sword qi broke through the air, suddenly penetrated the 100-meter-high waves, and attacked Ye Wanqing.
This sudden attack caught Ye Wanqing off guard.
His ten thousand feet tsunami is not only invincible in attack, but also has a very strong defense.
The power of the sea water is so strong that even the power of a bullet cannot travel too far.
However, the gold power released from the sword formation behind Xu Jun is sharp and powerful, and invincible.
In a blink of an eye, the hundred-foot huge wave was pierced into thousands of holes, and its power was instantly weakened by 80%.
Afterwards, these sword energies containing the power of the gold system continued to move forward without fear.
Ye Wanqing took a deep breath, and a strong golden light suddenly burst out from his body. This golden light was like a protective shield, keeping him firmly in it.
The sword energy was crisscrossed, and although it pierced the golden light protective shield, it could not hurt it at all.
However, Ye Wanqing's old face was slightly flushed, and Huang Kan Zhenjun laughed dumbly.
Unexpectedly, in this contest, the first person to use the defensive magic weapon would be Ye Wanqing.
Ye Wanqing, with a red face, waved his hand again, and the rag-like water waves recovered and crushed him again.
No matter how the opponent changes, Ye Wanqing can solve it with just one move.
However, at this moment, Xu Jun's sword formation changed again, and the same sound of thunder came from the sword formation.
The same waves emerged. Although this huge wave did not reach a hundred feet, it also reached two-thirds of the standard.
In a blink of an eye, the two huge waves hit each other.
But this time, the strength was clear. The sword formation controlled by Xu Jun was defeated and completely covered by the opponent's true meaning of the Great Dao.
Xu Jun remained calm, but secretly admired him in his heart.
As expected of a top Jindan peak powerhouse, he was indeed inferior to him in the true meaning of the Great Dao of Water.
However, Xu Jun knew too much. Since this one didn't work, he could just change the track.
A towering tree suddenly grew out of the sword formation, and in a blink of an eye it was already a hundred feet tall, instantly integrating the originally chaotic sword formation into one.
"Boom..."
The huge wave collided with the huge tree. This time, no matter how surging the huge wave was, the huge tree did not break. Instead, it continued to absorb a huge amount of power, as if it could grow more vigorously.
This time, even Huang Kan Zhenjun and Ye Wanqing were a little surprised.
Xu Jun's understanding of the true meaning of the wood system is obviously stronger than the other three systems.
What is the reason?
However, they did not know that when the giant tree in the sword formation was growing, the giant tree in Xu Jun's thunder space body was also swaying slightly, and a stream of strange power continued to seep out and flow into the giant tree in the sword formation.
Huang Kan Zhenjun and the others thought that the contest between Xu Jun and Ye Wanqing was a competition between the true meaning of the Great Dao and the realm of the sword, but they did not know that Xu Jun had external aid.
After the two sides were deadlocked for a moment, even Huang Kan Zhenjun was confused.
Xu Jun Daozi's understanding and perception of the true meaning of the wood-based Great Dao was so profound?
This level of perception was almost on par with Ye Wanqing.
Normally, the next step would be the five elements of wood generating fire.
But although Xu Jun also had a deep understanding of the true meaning of the fire-based Great Dao, he would never release it at this time.
Facing Ye Wanqing's huge wave, releasing the pure true meaning of the fire-based Great Dao would be courting death.
Unless a fourth-level fire-based True Lord came to suppress others with his realm, no one would dare to confront him at this time.
After fighting for a while, Ye Wanqing's huge wave slowly gained the upper hand.
So what if he is a genius?
Xu Jun's cultivation time is still too short. Why would Ye Wanqing's hundreds of years of hard work lose to your decades of hard work?
Huang Kan Zhenjun nodded slightly. It was already amazing for a foundation-building cultivator to be able to achieve this step.
However, if this is Xu Jun's limit, then Huang Kan Zhenjun really does not recommend Xu Jun to take the invincible road now.
After all, this road is the only chance for anyone.
Once you fail, there will be no comeback.
Huang Kan Zhenjun was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Daozi, if you have no more means, just give it up."
Xu Jun immediately understood what he meant.
He sighed secretly. He wanted to hide it, but now it seems that he can no longer hide it.
He stretched out his hand and patted the nothingness beside him, and the sword space body opened a small gap.
Huang Kan Zhenjun's eyes lit up slightly. He had noticed that Xu Jun's winning hand should be hidden in it.
However, in the next moment, both Huang Kan Zhenjun and Ye Wanqing felt an unprecedented strong impact.
Swish, swish, swish!
Sword Qi suddenly surged out from the space body, and in a flash, the sword formation above Xu Jun's head had expanded.
The sword Qi was overwhelming, and even the surrounding colorful clouds could not block it.
"Four, four thousand... sword Qi!"
Ye Wanqing was stunned, and even the words he said were a bit mumbling.
Huang Kan Zhenjun's eyes flashed with brilliance, and the aura around him was shaking. Even with the concentration of Yuanying Zhenjun, he couldn't control it at this moment.
Sword Qi?
Since ancient times, a thousand swords have been the ultimate.
It's not that no one has tried the origin of sword Qi of more than a thousand swords.
But after the origin of sword Qi reaches a thousand, the difficulty of engraving will become extremely difficult.
At this time, perhaps adding twenty or thirty origins of sword Qi will be as difficult as the sum of the previous thousand swords.
Whether in terms of cost-effectiveness or difficulty, no matter how many sword energy origins are engraved, there is no obvious benefit.
Of course, there was once a super strong man who did not believe in evil and engraved more than 5,000 sword energy origins.
But throughout the history of the Immortal Alliance, there is only one such person.
And more importantly, when that person engraved more than 5,000 sword energy origins, his cultivation was already unfathomable.
But now Xu Jun is only in the middle stage of foundation building.
At this moment, Huang Kan Zhenjun and Ye Wanqing finally realized it.
No wonder Xu Jun had such an attitude when talking about the invincible road.
Damn, four thousand sword energy origins formed four thousand sword formations, and they were also thousand sword formations that could echo each other from a distance.
How can people fight this?
Ye Wanqing looked up and stared at the four thousand sword formations in a daze, with mixed feelings in his heart and speechless for a long time.
Xu Jun naturally felt the sudden change in Principal Ye's negative emotions.
After hesitating for a moment, he was too embarrassed to take the initiative.
Ye Wanqing suddenly sighed, and the sword array dissipated as he waved his long sleeves.
Xu Jun opened his mouth, somewhat puzzled.
He just flashed four thousand sword energies, and the battle was over?
Is this considered a victory without fighting?
