Chapter 2179 - 2179 2169 Flying Sword

2179: Chapter 2169: Flying Sword 2179: Chapter 2169: Flying Sword Seeing the Great Formation start to operate again, the cultivators nearby all cheered; of course, if there was a possibility to go down to the next layer, no one wanted to be eliminated on the first layer.

Long Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Repairing the Formation was indeed a taxing job; in just that short period, it made Long Yan sweat profusely.

“Thanks.”

Ouyang Zhen walked to Long Yan’s side with a smile.

If not for Long Yan, they might have set the lowest record for passing through the Heaven and Earth Gang, and Ouyang Zhen would not have been the only one to suffer losses.

“It’s nothing.”

Long Yan said indifferently and then stepped onto the Teleportation Array with Ouyang Zhen.

The appearance of the next layer was similar to the previous one, except that there were many flying long swords in the sky.

These strange beings were indeed varied; the flying blades also gave Long Yan a headache.

The Demon Spear in his hand only sparked when it hit a flying sword, leaving a white mark on the blade afterwards.

Long Yan clearly understood the power of the Demon Spear, but it could only leave a small white mark on the flying sword.

This was incredible to Long Yan, as the Clan’s Holy Relic supposedly could kill these flying swords instantly.

However, the flying swords didn’t think as much as Long Yan did; they turned around and stabbed at Long Yan.

Long Yan raised his hand to block, and the flying sword spun back in the direction it came from.

Although the defense of the flying swords was somewhat outrageous, the power was just ordinary.

Seeing Long Yan and a flying sword in close combat, Ouyang Zhen laughed aloud.

It seemed Long Yan still didn’t understand much about these demons.

All things are originally ordinary, but because they absorb Spiritual Energy or awaken their Spiritual Wisdom, or don’t awaken Spiritual Wisdom yet possess spiritual nature, they might also be considered half cultivators.

If they possessed true Spiritual Wisdom, they would not be called monsters but Demon Cultivators instead.

Unless they commit evil deeds, those Righteous Cultivators would not bother with them, but almost no monster with little Spiritual Wisdom managed not to harm people, especially those on the Ancient Battlefield being targeted by life-claiming weapons, almost all can transform into demons.

When comparing the strength of demon cultivation and Human Cultivators, Human Cultivators may appear somewhat weaker in the early stages, but in the later stages, they are much stronger than monsters.

Ouyang Zhen behind him conjured a lion, which amassed a golden light in its mouth, that in an instant swallowed the body of the flying sword.

After the light passed, the flying sword fell motionless to the ground.

Seeing Ouyang Zhen so easily deal with the flying sword, Long Yan felt curious.

This monster was incredibly resistant against physical defense but so fragile against True Qi attacks.

Monsters are also considered as nature’s darlings; although their cultivation is not easy, they all possess unique innate talents, like these flying swords relying on their tough physical talents, yet being very vulnerable to True Qi defense.

Almost all creatures possess unique talents.

Thus, a person of Great Power once compiled a book called “The Classics of Subduing Demons.” However, Long Yan was not interested in such things and thus did not know.

Besides daily practice, Ouyang Zhen liked to read such books, so he had some knowledge in this area.

Long Yan was quite awake when he chose Ouyang Zhen as his teammate.

This layer had a higher density of monsters compared to the previous one.

Looking at the flying swords in the sky, Long Yan felt a bit terrified.

But fortunately, Long Yan had several group attack techniques.

He conjured a black flame orb in his hand.

The orb of Black Flame instantly swallowed all the flying swords.

Even though the flying swords were not corporeal, the deathly force of Mo Shuang Ancient Flame targeted all life.

In moments, countless flying swords turned charred and fell.

But Long Yan’s strike, Black Flame Prison, was like stirring a hornet’s nest.

A swarm of flying swords surged towards the two like locusts.

Ouyang Zhen watched the countless flying swords approaching and felt his scalp go numb.

The corners of Long Yan’s mouth, however, curled up slightly in a smile.

It seemed it was time for Zhang Tiankun to repay his debt.

Ouyang Zhen swallowed hard, watching Long Yan at his side, not quite understanding what was joyous about drawing so many flying swords their way.

“What do we do now?”

Ouyang Zhen’s voice trembled a bit.

He thought Long Yan would have a plan, but unexpectedly, only one word came from Long Yan’s mouth.

“Run!”

As soon as the word was spoken, Long Yan had already taken off, leaving Ouyang Zhen disheveled in place.

For a moment, Ouyang Zhen couldn’t react, but when he saw the sky full of flying swords above him, he also rushed towards the direction Long Yan had gone.

“Wait for me!”

Ouyang Zhen shouted loudly behind Long Yan, internally blaming Long Yan for his lack of noble character.

He glanced back at the dense flying swords and was instantly terrified.

“Come this way.”

Ahead was a six-way intersection.

Fortunately, both of their physical conditions were not bad, and they had managed to leave the flying swords far behind.

Just when it seemed they were in the clear, Long Yan suddenly stopped.

“Why did you stop?”

“Don’t panic, let them fly for a while.”

Ouyang Zhen’s face turned pale.

Was Long Yan being too careless?

They were being chased for their lives and he still wanted to wait?

The flying swords were fast, and it only took a moment for them to catch up with the two men.

Long Yan simply told Ouyang Zhen to run again, then darted off once more, leaving Ouyang Zhen utterly confused about what Long Yan was trying to do.

Thus, the two of them continued running and stopping along the way.

Every time they were about to lose the flying swords, Long Yan would pause with Ouyang Zhen for a bit, then run again once the swords caught up.

The flying swords and monsters they encountered along the way accumulated into a group chasing them.

Ouyang Zhen didn’t know when this would end, but he had followed Long Yan all this way.

If he stopped now, he would be mobbed by the monsters, and even though he had a way to cope, he found it hard to endure.

So, they had to keep running and stopping as they did, but since they were mainly running most of the way, they were actually moving faster than other people who took different routes.

“When will this end?”

After resting for a moment, Ouyang Zhen asked the person beside him.

Long Yan always reassured him that it was almost over, but after more than ten assurances, even he was finding it hard to keep running.

Feeling it should be enough, and considering the second layer was only so large, Long Yan glanced at the traces of Spiritual Energy Flow around them, took a few steps forward, and then a figure appeared in front of them.

The figure in front was fighting someone – a white tiger with frighteningly glowing eyes.

It looked like this was the guardian beast of the second layer.

“Who is that?”

Just as Ouyang Zhen was about to shout, Long Yan covered his mouth.

Although the white tiger in front was fierce, it was clearly not a match for the man it was fighting and was already at a disadvantage.

“Zhang Tiankun, how is he here?”

Ouyang Zhen asked curiously.

Of course, Long Yan wasn’t about to reveal that he had the ability to see the Earth-Yellow Spiritual Energy Flow in the air with White Tiger’s Secret Technique.
