There is not a single Venerable in the entire alliance. This is a fact. If there is a Venerable, there is no need for a sword formation.
Naturally, Jian Dingkun would not let Jian Teng talk empty words.
According to Jian Teng's speculation, if eight Ling Sect masters who are proficient in swordsmanship and formation techniques can gather together the simplified Eight Desolate Sword Formation, and then practice this formation, its power will probably reach the peak of the Ling Sect!
At the peak of Lingzong, if this is true, neither Li Ji nor Li Huasheng can stop him.
As for practicing the formation, Jian Teng has provided an excellent place, which is the remaining formation of the Eight Desolate Sword Formation in the Deserted Sword Tomb. Jian Teng has controlled the remaining formation and uses it to assist in the practice, which will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
However, the key now is to gather these eight people.
It is necessary to reach the Lingzong cultivation level, but also to be proficient in swordsmanship and formations. This kind of person is probably rare, and it is really difficult to get together. The current situation is urgent, so we can only settle for the next best thing and choose someone who is slightly worse.
"Counting me as one, and my master as one, I, Kong Dao Sect, can join us for two."
Master Tianshuo said proudly that he and Old Man Xuankong fully met the conditions.
Hearing this, Jian Dingkun nodded and agreed.
He said: "Well, the two of them are suitable. Our Haori Sword Sect has three members. Needless to say, I, the Great Elder Dongfang Lin counts as one, and Jian Teng counts as one."
When it came to Jian Teng, no one raised any doubts. Although Jian Teng was a little inferior in cultivation, he controlled the Bahuang Sword Formation after all, and was the most suitable candidate in terms of formation and swordsmanship.
There were still three people left. Jian Dingkun's eyes fell on the old man in blood robe and smiled: "Blood Sect Master, as the saying goes, swords and swords are connected, and Blood Sect Master's sword skills are amazing. I guess the sword skills will not be weak. I don't know that Blood Sect Master is in the same formation." Have you ever dabbled in it?”
"I know a thing or two, so I'm an old man."
Xue Changhe responded directly. Indeed, he had bypasses on swordsmanship and formations.
These elderly people who are over a hundred years old can be called old monsters. It is normal to have some bypass methods, but it is difficult to say they are proficient.
"good!"
Jian Dingkun said, and then he turned away and looked at the old man Tu Feng, saying: "Master Tu Feng, Beidou Pavilion's formation is mysterious and unpredictable. I wonder, how is Master Tu Feng's injury?"
"It doesn't matter, with little friend Tang's help, I heal my disciple every three days, and his health is much better. This Eight Desolate Sword Formation can be regarded as my own."
"okay."
Jian Dingkun was very satisfied. In this way, seven of the eight people had been gathered, and only the last one was left. He glanced back and forth, but he hesitated.
There were a few people present with suitable cultivation levels, such as the great elder of the Blood Moon Sword Sect, 'Chi Gang', the leader of Netherworld Mountain, 'Tu Bai', the leader of the Burning Flame Sect, 'Ke Zhengyang', and Yang Wu of Dafeng. Virtual.
However, among these people, there seems to be no one who is familiar with swordsmanship and formation techniques.
After looking around, Jian Dingkun asked Yang Wuxu. Of these people, he was the least familiar with Yang Wuxu.
Yang Wuxu shook his head and refused. His swordsmanship was okay, but he knew nothing about formations. It should be noted that he was less than a hundred years old and had spent all his time practicing, not to mention that he had been imprisoned for many years.
Jian Dingkun was a little disappointed. There was only one person missing. This was related to the power of the entire sword array. You couldn't just grab someone to make up the number.
"Let Dongfang Lin give it a try!"
At this time, Xue Changhe spoke, Dongfang Lin was a second-level spiritual sect practitioner, and his sword skills were not weak, but his formation skills were really lacking.
Dongfang Lin, the great elder of the Blood Moon Sword Sect.
Most of the people present in the Spirit Sword Hall are of the same generation as Dongfang Lin and are familiar with each other. If you choose Dongfang Lin, you can only make do, but you can't find anyone more suitable than him.
Jian Dingkun frowned and took a deep look at Dongfang Lin. He was worried that the formation was not powerful enough, so his strategic counterattack plan would be shelved.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Master Tianshuo, the leader of Kongdao Sect, had objections, which made Xue Changhe very unhappy.
Master Tianshuo mentioned the master of Nandou Pavilion, 'Nan Li'. It turned out that Master Tian Shuo had a good personal relationship with Nan Li. He knew that Nan Li was very accomplished in formations, and Nandou Pavilion's swordsmanship was not a problem either. The only thing is that Nan Li's cultivation level is slightly worse. He has always stayed at the peak of the ninth-level Spiritual Emperor, and is still half a step away from the Spiritual Sect realm.
"Nan Li? It's my personal choice..."
Jian Dingkun's expression changed as he thought of this person.
Yang Wuxu also knew the details of Nan Li. The location of Nan Dou Pavilion was in the south of Tianqi Dynasty. When he was the patriarch, he had met Nan Li several times. Indeed, he thought Nan Li could give it a try.
"Come here, please invite Nandou Pavilion Sect Master Nan Li to the Spirit Sword Hall!"
Jian Dingkun sent word, and a disciple of the Jian Sect immediately went to invite him.
Seeing this, Xue Changhe and Dongfang Lin looked unhappy, but they could not refute. The Blood Moon Sword Sect was usually arrogant and domineering, but on the territory of the Haori Sword Sect, everything was decided by Jian Dingkun, so they had to restrain themselves a few times. point.
"Leader of the alliance, junior Tang Xingfeng is also very curious about the Eight Desolations Sword Formation. I am brave and want to compete for this candidate. Is it okay?"
In the corner of the Spirit Sword Hall, the gray-robed young man Tang Xingfeng spoke, breaking the silence in the hall.
Originally, Jian Dingkun and others were waiting for Nan Li's arrival, and Dongfang Lin was ready to ridicule Nan Li, but unexpectedly, Tang Xingfeng came out to intervene.
"Um?"
"What?"
"this?"
Even Yang Wuxu was stunned. Tang Xingfeng wanted to intervene? But Yang Wuxu's expression immediately returned to normal. No matter what, as the veteran of the Six Blades, if Tang Xingfeng wanted to fight, of course he would support him.
"Boy, don't overestimate your abilities. What's your cultivation level? Do you know swordsmanship? Do you know what a formation is?"
The first person to respond to Tang Xingfeng was Dongfang Lin.
Dongfang Lin was furious. Originally, comparing him with Nan Li, a ninth-level spiritual emperor, had already lowered his status. But now it was even more outrageous. A mere brat with a third-level spiritual emperor dared to compete with him!
The others had different reactions. Jian Teng smiled, while Jian Dingkunle watched in silence.
Xue Changhe stared at Tang Xingfeng with gloomy eyes.
"Senior Dongfang, you are a senior, and your cultivation level is naturally higher than mine, but in terms of swordsmanship and formation, I am somewhat confident, so if you are eager for skills and dare to compete, just go through the motions with senior, how about it?"
Tang Xingfeng said it very modestly.
He is really interested in the Eight Desolations Sword Formation. According to Jian Teng's description, the simplified Eight Desolations Sword Formation, like the Five Elements Sword Formation, is a combined attack formation.
Of course he wanted to see what was so subtle about this sword formation.
"Okay, okay, since Chief Tang has said so, let's let Chief Tang go through the motions."
Jian Dingkun was in a good mood and made his decision with a smile. Jian Teng also specially nodded to Tang Xingfeng, as if he was very optimistic about Tang Xingfeng, which made Xuechanghe and Dongfang Lin even more angry.
"Alliance Leader, Senior Nan Li is here."
The disciples of the Sword Sect came and went, and they brought Nan Li, the master of the Nandou Pavilion, about a time after burning incense.
Tang Xingfeng saw Nan Li for the first time and looked at the old man who walked in slightly. He also went to Nandou Pavilion, but at first he went to pay homage to the mountain with the juniors of the Yang family.
At the beginning, his little strength was far from being able to catch Nan Li's eyes, so he was unable to see Nan Li.
It's different now. He is at least on an equal footing with Nan Li. In terms of status, he is even above Nan Li. It should be noted that there are two Ling Sects under the command of Liu Dao Zong!
"Haha, everyone is here. Elder Dongfang, Chief Tang, and Nan Li, you three will decide the final candidate for the Eight Desolations Sword Formation. After discussion between my master and disciple, the rules of the competition are divided into two types, one is cultural. Dou, a kind of martial arts fighting, which one do you think is better?"
Jian Dingkun declared and explained the details of the civil and military fights.
The so-called literary battle is a deduction of formations and swordsmanship. If there is not much difference between the three in the competition, then the person with the highest cultivation level will naturally win.
The so-called martial arts fight involves entering a deserted sword tomb, and the remaining sword formations are run by the sword teng. The three of them use their own methods to resist the power of the sword formation. Whoever lasts the longest will be the winner.
