Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Shadow of the Sword

This Eight Extremes Intense Flame Formation is of no minor origin.

It is based on the Sky-reaching Divine Fire Pillar created by ancient powerful beings, arranged using eight Fire Dragon Pillars.

Although this is only a knockoff version, only able to shoot out eight fire snakes from the pillars, it is far inferior to the real Sky-reaching Divine Fire Pillar. However, for individuals like Elder Zhuang and Blood Sect Master at the Sword Saint level, it is still terrifyingly powerful.

If one does not understand arrays and recklessly confronts it, they might be turned to ash in an instant.

Chu Feng naturally couldn’t break the ancient Sky-reaching Divine Fire Formation, but for this simplified and knockoff version of the Eight Extremes Intense Flame Formation, it was a piece of cake for him.

He remembered that to break the Sky-reaching Divine Fire Formation, one must keep one thing in mind: face fire by moving north, and upon encountering wind, head west.

Because the origin of fire is in the south, the source of all fires under heaven, the Southern Bright Li Fire should be the first to be considered. Wind can fuel the fire, and the most fearsome wind is the east wind.

Thus, heading west is certainly the right choice.

If you encounter wind within the formation and insist on moving east, congratulations, get ready to be burned to ash. The farther east you go, the fiercer the wind and the more intense the flames become.

Anyone, even those with Sword God Cultivation, would find it difficult to resist.

Poison Eye Dragon King, following Chu Feng, didn’t take much effort to smoothly make it to the Sixth Level.

Even leaving individuals like Elder Zhuang and Blood Sect Master behind.

Compared to Prince Jianyun, who entered the Fiery Flame Array just before Chu Feng, Chu Feng did not dare to provoke him on this level.

Because Prince Jianyun possesses the Nine Yang Sword Veins, his cultivation is also not weak.

Within the Fiery Flame Array, Prince Jianyun enjoys a unique advantage, possessing an absolute geographical edge.

His Nine Yang Sword Veins can display ten times their might. Chu Feng was already not as strong as him, and fighting against him in such an unfavorable environment would be nearly foolish.

It’s better to first seize the Supreme Treasure Sword, and then confront Prince Jianyun once the sword is in hand.

...

Upon reaching the Sixth Level, Yin winds whirled, the skies were gloomily overcast, and the Demonic Qi was so thick it turned into liquid form. Like a fine drizzle, it continuously fell down.

In this level, if one doesn’t possess Sword Saint Cultivation, nor any special means, even resisting the Demonic Qi is a problem.

Chu Feng, however, was indifferent; protected by the Abnormal Fire, he was immune to all demons.

"Wooo wooo..."

Sounds of ghostly wails and howls emanated from the Demon Fog, sending chills down the spine.

If there were Ancient Demons on this level, it would be really problematic.

There was no way to retreat anymore.

If this level contained Ancient Demons, then everyone who entered the sixth level of the Demon Suppression Tower would have no choice but to bravely advance to the Seventh Level. As for returning to the Fifth Level, that wouldn’t be a problem.

But what to do next?

Stay in the Fifth Level and wait for death? Keep in mind that the Fourth Level not only has the Galaxy Sky Water Formation, but also houses three frightful Ancient Demons.

Anyone daring to return to the Fourth Level would immediately suffer at their hands.

"Wow! Treasure Sword!"

Chu Feng spotted two flashes of sword light, disappearing as fast as they appeared, their speed was simply too fast.

Poison Eye Dragon King was also excited watching the two fleeting sword lights, hope filling his eyes. Braving such great danger, risking life and death to break into the Sixth Level of the Demon Suppression Tower.

What for?

Isn’t it for the great opportunity within?

Poison Eye Dragon King really wanted to pursue those two flying Treasure Swords, but he needed to protect Chu Feng. So, he could only watch helplessly, no matter how reluctant he was, he had to stay by Chu Feng’s side.

"Poison Eye Dragon King, you are free to act on your own for now! Call for you when I need you!"

Chu Feng is well aware that having the Poison Eye Dragon King by his side would definitely limit the Dragon King’s opportunities. He himself possesses the capability to protect himself.

"Thank you, Master!"

The Poison Eye Dragon King couldn’t wait to fly out, pursuing the two streams of sword light.

"If I obtain the two Treasure Swords, I will definitely offer one to my master!" The voice of the Poison Eye Dragon King echoed in Chu Feng’s ears.

Chu Feng smiled lightly, knowing he himself does not need his subordinates to present treasures to him.

He also picked a direction and swiftly moved forward.

From the second to fifth levels of the Demon Suppression Tower, no Treasure Swords were found. Suddenly, on the sixth level, Treasure Swords appeared, emitting astonishing Treasure Lights. The quality of these swords must also be extremely remarkable.

Now that Chu Feng had acquired the Little Heavenly Sword Formation Map, he needed four Treasure Swords to set up the Sword Array. Fortunately, he found several more on the sixth level.

...

Han Xiaoying, Elder Zhuang, Blood Sect Master, Han Shuang, Chou Li, and others subsequently entered the sixth level. Prince Jianyun, Zang Jianfeng, and others were slower but also smoothly made their way to the sixth level.

Many people surely died on the fourth level.

The number of remaining Loose Cultivators was few. And it wasn’t just Loose Cultivators, even members of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect had suffered numerous casualties.

"The swords, the Treasure Swords!"

From time to time, joyful exclamations rang out. Curiously, sword lights flashed everywhere on the sixth level, and they always appeared in pairs.

"Follow the command, disciples of the Rashamon Sect, form the array and capture the Treasure Swords!"

The Blood Sect Master found that these sword lights moved extremely fast, making it difficult to catch them by oneself.

Soon, the elites of the Rashamon Sect formed a Sword Array.

At this moment, two more sword lights shot towards them.

Chou Li and the Blood Sect Master acted at the same time, each capturing a sword light.

The moment the sword lights were captured, they transformed into two streaks of Blood Radiance and vanished.

"Sect Leader, what’s going on?" Chou Li, though powerful, was inexperienced and had never encountered such a strange event.

The Blood Sect Master experienced a moment of vain joy, his expression growing somewhat gloomy.

"If I’m not mistaken, the two sword lights we just captured were merely shadows derived from the two Treasure Swords. The true bodies of the Treasure Swords must also definitely be on this sixth level."

"Moreover, I can assert that these two Treasure Swords must be extraordinary, even superior to my Blood God Sword."

The Blood God Sword of the Rashamon Sect Master was already very high-grade.

The fact that these two Treasure Swords might be even higher-grade was indeed exhilarating and thrilling.

"Split up and search, each relying on their own fortunes!"

The Blood Sect Master ordered coldly.

Chou Li turned to Han Shuang next to the Blood Sect Master and said, "Junior sister, why don’t you follow me? If we find the Treasure Swords, we can have one each!" Chou Li was far more powerful than Han Shuang.

Many wanted to team up with him.

His initiative to invite Han Shuang made other disciples of the Rashamon Sect, especially the women, look at her with envy.

"No need, I’ll search on my own! Thank you, senior brother!" Han Shuang was very polite yet clearly distancing herself.

The smile on Chou Li’s face stiffened, and after taking a deep breath, he said in a low voice, "Alright then, junior sister, be careful!" Han Shuang had never thanked him like this before.

Since returning from the Jianyun Dynasty a few months ago, Han Shuang had grown increasingly distant from Chou Li.

"It must be because of that Chu Feng from the Ten Thousand Sword Sect. This time, I must kill him personally to completely erase him from junior sister’s mind." After Chou Li turned and left, his expression darkened tremendously, his eyes revealing a raging killing intent.
