Chapter 1323: Chapter 1323: Array Broken with Overwhelming Force

Where is the opportunity to break the stalemate?

Although Su Chengyu had said these words, he couldn’t find any point of breakthrough.

There was no advantageous timing, nor territorial advantage.

The adversary merely had to borrow the power of the natural thunder to pose a great threat to Ye Qingci, while each of her attacks came at a great cost.

Not only did she have to dodge the heavenly thunder that could appear beside her without warning, her own attacks also struggled to break through the huge Eight Trigrams Array constructed of flames.

It must be said that Long Xuan’s previous confidence allowed him to create too many favorable conditions for himself after successfully seizing the right moment.

At this moment, even if Long Xuan did nothing, relying on the Great Eight Trigrams Formation and the thunderous hell below was enough to completely exhaust Ye Qingci.

However, one thing Su Chengyu was sure of was that since Ye Qingci had not stopped her sword attacks, she definitely hadn’t given up.

The opportunity he couldn’t see, Ye Qingci must have seen.

"Sect Master, does Cold Moon Envoy really still have a chance?"

Zhuang Yihan cautiously asked beside Ye Qingming.

Ye Qingming turned his head to look at Zhuang Yihan and said softly, "If he can trust Qingci so much, can’t you?"

"It’s not... I just..."

Ye Qingming smiled lightly and said, "It’s just as well you only practice martial arts and not Daoism Method; otherwise, with your doubt, you would’ve likely fallen to the Demonic Path without it even seeking you out."

Zhuang Yihan shamefully lowered his head, and Ye Qingming did not say anything more, turning his gaze back to the battle.

His words were heartfelt; indeed, he could not see how Ye Qingci could turn the tables, but Su Chengyu’s words had awakened him.

That’s right, the person on the battlefield was his sister, someone with even greater talent than himself, who now stood at the very peak of the heavens and the earth.

What he couldn’t see, she might be able to see.

"Do you feel that there are more and more concentrations of Sword Qi near that Formation?"

The sudden statement did not come from the mouth of the one at the Peak of the Void but from the weakest among them, Yang Junmo.

Initially, nobody took the words of someone who hadn’t even reached the Nascent Soul Realm seriously.

But soon, some noticed something amiss, and after Su Chengyu saw the Sword Qi purposefully left around different parts of the Formation, his suspicions in his heart grew firmer.

"Saint Envoy Ye wants to forcibly break the Formation."

"Impossible! Long Xuan’s Formation has maximized the advantage of timing and terrain to the fullest. For Cold Moon to forcibly break the Formation, the cost would surely be disproportionate!"

Yang Qianyan objected almost instantly; although he had noticed the anomaly, he still couldn’t believe Ye Qingci would stake everything in such a desperate move.

"But this is indeed Qingci’s only method of victory," Ye Qingming said softly, then glanced at Su Chengyu. He had only just confirmed this, based on his understanding of his sister, that Ye Qingci was prepared to make such a desperate move.

He had not expected to reveal this himself, as Su Chengyu had already confirmed it first.

"I have seen this sword before."

Su Chengyu, noticing Ye Qingming’s gaze and guessing what the other was thinking, then revealed his conclusion.

The battle at the Earth Immortal Level was not something Su Chengyu could see with absolute clarity. The reason the crowd at Qianjiufeng could watch the battle without concern was that the State Preceptor had personally set up Prohibitions allowing them to see clearly.

And because of this, Su Chengyu was sure that Ye Qingci’s current sword attack was the same one she had used against Abe no Seimei in Dongying.

"One leaf, one Bodhi, a myriad of leaves form heaven and earth!"

Countless verdant leaves appeared around the Formation, each leaf brimming with savage Sword Qi, capable of tearing apart a realm with a single strike. After such a prolonged buildup by Ye Qingci, the power was enough to completely shred this world!

Mount Qianjue quaked due to the massive storm of Sword Qi, the ancient peak that had stood tall over Kyoto for a millennium began to collapse. It couldn’t support the profound Sword Intent atop the mountain, and in an instant, it sunk dozens of yards!

"Long Xuan! Can my sword break your Great Formation!" Ye Qingci’s challenge echoed throughout the world, and the provoked Heavenly Thunder Hell instantly grew even more turbulent. The scarlet thunderbolts crashed down towards Ye Qingci at an even faster rate than before.

But with each strike, Ye Qingci’s figure would vanish from the spot, reappearing instantaneously beside the next leaf!

The myriad of leaves now served as Ye Qingci’s myriad of avatars, the Sword Qi that could tear the world asunder allowing Ye Qingci to appear at any point on the battlefield.

Under Ye Qingci’s manipulation, the frenzied Sword Qi surged towards Long Xuan like a mountain avalanche.

Long Xuan, who had been sitting in meditation at the center of the Great Formation, finally opened his eyes at this moment. He looked at the countless leaves that had broken through the Formation and were now by his side, surrounded by a sky full of Sword Qi, and spoke softly.

"The Formation is broken, strength exhausted."

Buzz!

Like the sound of the Dao echoing throughout the world, countless Sword Qi blades withered and yellowed the instant they neared Long Xuan. Their dissolution in front of him was like the words of the "Word Follows Law" dictum.

Yang Junmo, witnessing this scene, widened his eyes: "Damn, does Long Xuan also possess the ’Word Follows Law’ ability?"

"It’s not an ability; he actually took on all of Qingci’s Sword Qi head-on." Ye Qingming’s face was extremely grave.

He could naturally discern some clues from Ye Qingci’s sword strike. The Swordsmanship had metamorphosed from the Ye Family’s ancestral sword arts, but the Sword Momentum was entirely of Ye Qingci’s own creation.

Indeed, with this one strike, Ye Qingci had used the power of one person to overcome the advantages of time and terrain, bringing the surge of Sword Qi right to Long Xuan’s doorstep.

But faced with this fierce attack, Long Xuan relied on his own strength to withstand it!

"This has become a war of attrition. Facing such a Sword Qi storm, even Long Xuan has no power to counterattack, only able to stand his ground and dissolve Ye Qingci’s Sword Qi using Taoist Law and Taoist Technique."

Xu Zijing, finally understanding the state of the battle, opened his mouth to explain to everyone.

Instantly, everyone’s hearts were in their throats; they all knew this sword strike would determine the victor.

Ding!

A faint sound suddenly emerged atop Mount Qianjue, and a blade of Sword Qi pierced Long Xuan’s brow. Blood slowly trickled down from Long Xuan’s forehead.

Long Xuan’s brow furrowed slightly. He extended his hand to wipe the blood from his brow, then spoke softly.

"Ye Qingci, has your Sword Momentum changed again?"

From a distance, Ye Qingci sneered, "What else? You already said that when your Formation breaks, my strength will be exhausted. Naturally, I could only change my Sword Momentum."

Long Xuan blinked as he looked at the dwindling Sword Qi storm around him and said, "Too late, though. Forcing a change in Sword Momentum, you must have exhausted yourself, right?"

Ye Qingci didn’t respond, glancing at Long Xuan’s wound. Though her forced change in tactic had pierced Long Xuan’s defenses, she was indeed utterly drained.

"I’ve lost."

Three cold words spilled from Ye Qingci’s mouth, the Sky-splitting Sword descended, and the sky full of Sword Qi completely dissipated. The Sancai Sword behind Long Xuan also returned to its place behind him.

The peak battle, concluding with Mount Qianjue sinking a hundred yards as its price, had finally drawn to a close.

The victor, Long Xuan.

After watching Ye Qingci leave, the victorious Long Xuan touched his forehead and looked toward Su Chengyu in the distance, speaking softly.

"If it weren’t for him, the winner should have been you."
