Chapter 107 Sword Formation
Chapter 107 Sword Formation
Upon meeting, both sides became tense.
Originally, Xiao Chuan's side consisted of two forces, but what they didn't expect was that they encountered another force.
In addition, many other forces had entered this tomb of the terrestrial immortals, but none of them came out afterward.
So everyone knows about the Tomb of the Land Immortal?
However, as before, there will be no major fighting. Everyone is here for profit, not to fight each other.
"May I ask who you are?"
As a seventh-realm martial artist, Xiao Chuan naturally had his own capital and pride, so he didn't take this force seriously, but he still wanted to learn about it symbolically.
"I am Zhou Nai, from the Zhou family of Yuzhou." Kawashima Nanako also has a Dragon Kingdom identity, so she is not worried at all.
Moreover, if they say it's the Zhou family of Yuzhou, how many people would actually investigate?
There are too many martial arts families in this world; no one cares about such things.
Xiao Chuan had never heard of this Yuzhou Zhou family before, so he didn't pay any attention to them. However, the samurai behind Kawashima Nanako made him frown slightly.
They don't look like they're from China.
The Dragon Kingdom has both sword cultivators and knife cultivators. It's not that there are no samurai swords, but they are almost nonexistent.
But the group of people behind Nanako Kawashima were all using samurai swords.
Could he be from an island nation?
"Are you from an island nation?" Xiao Chuan asked directly.
"What a joke, we are Chinese." Kawashima Nanako said without changing her expression.
Her Chinese is very fluent and her accent is perfect; it's impossible to tell if she's from Japan.
However, this resulted in three forces heading towards the tomb of the terrestrial immortals.
"And who are you?"
Kawashima Nanako seized the opportunity to ask, not wanting the other person to dwell on her identity.
"Kyoto, Xiao family!"
Xiao Chuan said proudly.
Kawashima Nanako looked surprised: "Oh, so it's the famous Xiao family of Kyoto."
I've never actually heard of it, but I acted like I knew a lot about it.
"Are you here for the Tomb of the Land Immortals too?" Xiao Chuan asked.
"That's natural."
Nanako Kawashima nodded: "Mr. Xiao, how about we each rely on our own abilities then?"
"Can!"
Xiao Chuan nodded.
If he were to attack Kawashima Nanako here, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of Wu Xiuyin's faction.
If things go wrong, these two forces might join forces.
Of course, Xiao Chuan didn't care about that. When they finally reached the Tomb of the Land Immortals, it would be a matter of who had the strongest combat power and who would be in charge.
"This group of people doesn't seem to be from China."
Xiao Xueqing became somewhat suspicious: "We Chinese rarely use this kind of weapon; it's mostly island nations that use it."
Qin Chuan glanced at it but didn't pay it any mind.
His thoughts were actually similar to Xiao Chuan's: the strong are respected, and who would get the treasures in the Tomb of the Land Immortal? It would all be decided by the strongest.
Originally, the two groups together numbered around thirty people, and now with the addition of Kawashima Nanako, the group has grown to over forty people, making them look more like a sightseeing tour group.
"Young Miss, it seems we're in a bit of trouble."
Wu Xiuyin said in a low voice.
The girl wearing a mask frowned slightly: "One is the Xiao family, and the other is the Zhou family of Yuzhou, and both are quite powerful. It seems that the treasure really belongs to the capable."
Don't be fooled by the current peaceful coexistence of the three forces; when it comes time to divide the treasures, they might just start fighting.
"Miss Kawashima, these people are all quite strong," a samurai said in a low voice.
Kawashima Nanako said, "We'll see how things unfold."
"Understood." The warrior nodded.
The three parties went together, but they seemed to be chatting and laughing, getting to know each other.
When Kawashima Nanako saw that there were quite a few spoiled rich kids in Xiao Chuan's group, some of them couldn't help but chuckle.
Are they tourists?
The Xiao family of Kyoto is nothing special.
After another half-day's journey, with everyone stopping and starting, they finally arrived at a relatively open area, where the environment was different from before.
Countless rusted swords were stuck in the ground, and in the far end of this open space, there was a cave. Unsurprisingly, the tomb of the terrestrial immortal was located in that cave.
Everyone stopped.
Xiao Chuan was somewhat excited: "It seems we've arrived."
One of the martial artists from the Xiao family went in first, and a rusty sword vibrated as a sword aura slashed horizontally towards him.
puff!
The martial artist had no time to react before his body was cleaved in two.
He died with an excited and thrilled expression, never imagining that his body would be split in two.
Those who had originally intended to walk forward immediately stopped in their tracks, all of them retreating in fright.
"A sword formation?"
Xiao Chuan frowned.
Wu Xiuyin said, "It seems that obtaining the treasure from the Tomb of the Land Immortal will not be an easy task."
"We should break this sword formation first," Kawashima Nanako observed the formation.
For a moment, none of the three took another step forward.
If there is only one force, then that force will spare no expense to break the formation.
But now there are three forces at play, and no one is willing to take the risk first.
"How about we each send one expert to break the formation?"
Xiao Chuan made a suggestion.
"Okay!" Wu Xiuyin and Kawashima Nanako both agreed.
Each of the three forces sent one person, whose strength was around the fourth realm.
The three men had different weapons: one wielded a knife, one was unarmed, and one carried a samurai sword.
The three of them walked together into the sword formation.
Clang!
As the three approached, a sharp sound, like a sword being drawn from its sheath, pierced the air, exceptionally jarring.
Immediately afterwards, several rusty swords began to tremble.
Three sharp sword energies struck first, simultaneously heading towards the three of them.
boom……
The three of them blocked the attack simultaneously, each facing a sword aura, and were all forced back a few steps by the force of the sword aura.
"Nothing special!" The man with the knife sneered.
After blocking the sword energy, they took the initiative to leap into the sword formation, as did the other two.
Then they were dumbfounded.
Sword energy was everywhere.
As they entered the sword formation, countless rusted swords began to tremble, and streams of sword energy came from all directions, leaving almost no blind spots.
"what……"
Then, screams erupted.
The three were torn into eight pieces, their bodies unrecognizable.
At that moment, many people couldn't help but swallow.
Yu Ming and his spoiled brats started vomiting. The fact that someone had been chopped in two earlier had already made them feel nauseous, but now that three people had been cut into pieces, they couldn't take it anymore.
