The moment the sword light lit up, the nine people reacted as quickly as possible.
Although they looked down on Shen Qian's "immatureness", they could not ignore the gap in combat power of more than 10,000 points.
Fighting alone, no one is Shen Qian's opponent.
They know this very well.
This is why they were so frightened when they realized that Shen Qian had appeared silently inside the nine people.
Close range, no defense, huge gap.
When these three words are combined, they become a new word..."instant kill".
It's a pity that Shen Qian gave up what was probably the best and only opportunity.
At that time, one of the main reasons why one of them insisted on having nine people guarding the fourth-level Tianmen was that nine people could just set up the most advanced battle formation common to all martial arts colleges in the country.
Coincidentally, this battle formation is also called "Nine Heavens".
With the strength of nine people, they are able to combine the best of both offense and defense. They are versatile, can advance and retreat freely, and can maximize their personal strength.
It is naturally impossible to say that the overall strength has increased by nine times, but it is recognized that it is easy to increase the combat power by two to three times.
There may be magical powers or secret techniques in the world that can make the instantaneous increase exceed this level, but the increase of the Nine Heavens Battle Formation is stable for a very long time, which shows how terrifying it is.
"start!"
An ordinary warrior could not even see clearly Shen Qian's action of drawing the sword, but everyone present was like Shan Hai. Under the capture of his spiritual core, Shen Qian's action of drawing the sword was invisible.
Chu Yiran, who was standing at the front, shouted two words almost at the moment when Shen Qian unsheathed the long sword in his hand.
The nine people are all the group of people who stand at the top of the pyramid of martial arts colleges. For ordinary warriors, it may take a long time to get used to the nine-day battle formation, but in the hands of the nine people, it is easy.
The rocks hit the shore and the water flow was astonishing. The eighteen formation flags that had been deployed in the water were bright and illusory formations criss-crossed in the water. Finally, they turned into nine dazzling fire phoenixes and disappeared into the bodies of the nine people in an instant. .
boom!
The nine people were brimming with energy, and under the influence of the formation, they became one, forming a terrifying storm that made the warriors lingering in the distance tremble.
Only Shen Qian was unaware, as if he didn't know how powerful the Nine Heavens Battle Formation was. Even the angle of the sword was not affected, and he still slashed towards the established target.
Under the "divine eyes" of mountains and seas that transcend the physical body, the changing path of the cyan-red sword light is so clear.
It was like a firefly at first, but in the blink of an eye it rose to a length of a hundred meters in the face of the storm. The void was sizzling, and the water was roaring for no reason. It seemed that it could not withstand the power overflowing from the sword light.
Tan Hao, who was standing at the right rear of the nine people, changed his expression.
When Shen Qian took out the knife, he had an unpleasant premonition in his heart.
At this moment, when he saw the mango knife slashing down at him across the void, he instantly understood that he was Shen Qian's chosen target.
But...where did he get his confidence?
Do you really think that we are just chickens and dogs, and are being slaughtered by others?
"Xuanwu! Change!"
There was no need for any words, just a tacit eye contact. The formation of the nine people changed instantly. Tan Hao, who was sneering, stood still, but the other eight people instantly moved their positions at a speed much faster than usual.
Each of the eight people took a corner, and as their energy surged, they all gathered above Tan Hao's head, forming a shadow of a giant beast with a divine light.
After looking carefully, I realized that the lifelike shadow was actually a large turtle. The shell on its back was thick and solid, giving people a sense of indestructible despair.
Shen Qian didn't raise his eyes. He seemed to have fallen into silence after using the sword. He was indifferent even if the nine people formed a battle formation.
Boom!
The sword light struck heavily on the phantom of the big turtle, but it made a dull and substantive cry.
Click!
In the slightly solemn eyes of the nine people, there were several cracks extending on the back of the big turtle, but in the end, the sword light was exhausted, and the big turtle still stood firm after a violent shaking.
But then, before the sword light completely dissipated, another almost traceless sword light emerged from the shadows and struck the turtle heavily again.
Boom!
The big turtle shattered into pieces under the light of the sword and turned into countless stars, floating down from the sky.
The nine people all squinted their eyes, but looking at the broken sword light, there was no sign of panic.
"Hey, Shen Qian, isn't it strange... Ever since the battle of the Nine Heaven Cup, everyone has known that you have dual sword auras. Do you still think this trick can have miraculous effects?"
While laughing, Tan Hao, who seemed to think it was nothing more than that, soared into the sky and shattered the broken sword light with one punch.
However, Shen Qian, who was ridiculed, only showed a strange smile.
There seemed to be some surprise in that smile.
Tan Hao thought Shen Qian was being told something important and was about to sneer. The next moment, his eyes suddenly froze.
Uh-huh!
Among the sounds of water flow and spiritual energy, this slight sound was unusually inaudible.
But... the people present are all mountains and seas, and they are all mountains and seas whose perception is ten times better than that of ordinary warriors.
They still heard the strange noise.
"No!"
The next moment, a roar of extreme grief and anger came from Tan Hao's mouth.
puff!
Pale golden blood spurted out from Tan Hao's shoulder, and the arm rising into the sky firmly occupied the center of the eight people's sights at this moment.
"Do you know why I want to laugh?"
Shen Qian finally spoke, "You people, since you regard me as your biggest opponent, you can't even do your homework well. My sword light... is more than double."
As if in response to Shen Qian's words, the third sword light that penetrated Tan Hao's shoulder suddenly penetrated from the void, and happened to hit Tan Hao's flying severed arm.
boom!
In Qin Hao's desperate eyes, the arm that kept clenching a fist fell apart.
The eight people finally came to their senses, and then their expressions changed drastically, and they all saw the horror in each other's eyes.
To them, it actually means nothing whether Shen Qian's sword light is double or triple.
The important thing is that Shen Qian only used one knife.
This sword not only cut through their joint nine-day battle formation, but also broke off Tan Hao's arm.
Without the nine-day battle formation, if they were to fight alone, they would all believe that Shen Qian could cut off Tan Hao's arm.
But with the Nine Heavens Battle Formation, Shen Qian's sword was so clearly aimed at Tan Hao, and he didn't hide it from the nine people at all. He still broke off Tan Hao's arm.
What does this mean?
The so-called joining forces of nine people was just a joke in front of Shen Qian.
It is difficult for them to accept this fact, but they have to accept it.
When the advantage of numbers cannot be used, all that is left is one-sided crushing...
So, when Shen Qian held the handle of the knife again, the remaining eight people didn't even care about Qin Hao's life or death. They immediately weighed the pros and cons and made their own choices.
"I'll give you a name!"
The only woman among the nine, the young woman with stern eyebrows lowered the sword in her hand and spoke calmly.
Also speaking at the same time was the young man named Chu Yiran.
But only these two people spoke.
The other six people soared into the sky in unison, four of them chose to rush towards the fourth heavenly gate, while the other two chose a direction each and fled frantically.
"Wrong answer."
Shen Qian raised his eyebrows and murmured four words.
A smart warrior will not let himself turn his back on a powerful opponent, but a mountain and sea warrior who thinks he is smart will.
Because they always feel that the gap between them and themselves is not big enough to make escape impossible.
So Shen Qian's eyes changed at this moment.
His eyes, under the slightly absent-minded gaze of the young woman opposite him, became deep and dark, like an endless starry sky or a bottomless ocean.
Chu Yiran didn't pay attention to the subtle changes in Shen Qian's body, but at this moment, looking at the choices of the other six companions, he felt annoyed for a moment.
Yes, perhaps if anyone faced Shen Qian alone, the chance of escaping would be very slim unless he quit the Nine Heavens War on the spot.
But...if six people are together, what can even Shen Qian do?
Just when Chu Yiran was hesitating and about to make a move, a fear from the depths of his soul suddenly enveloped him.
This fear came so suddenly and was even more ridiculous.
He Chu Yiran has been able to make it this far without daring to talk about life and death, but he is also a person with a strong will. Fear is an emotion he would not have had a few years ago.
But...he couldn't control it.
It was like a complete suppression of the life level, the deepest trembling of the soul. When he turned his head blankly, he realized that Wu Dan was just like himself, his face was pale, his body was trembling, and his face was filled with uncontrollable fear.
Chu Yiran turned around again and finally found the source of his fear. At the same time, he saw the most unforgettable scene in his life.
He swore that even when he first saw the prince's heaven-reaching methods, he had never been so shocked.
Right there is Shen Qian.
Surrounded by the sudden churning water waves that were a hundred meters high, an extremely dazzling black gold light suddenly appeared, and the chaotic aura of annihilation enveloped the world.
Chu Yiran watched helplessly as the originally ordinary boy's figure expanded and turned into a giant more than five meters tall.
His clothes fell apart, revealing his dark body. His long hair was hidden, the top of his head was as smooth as a seal, and his body was covered with golden Buddhist mantras.
Those ancient symbols that look like Sanskrit are densely packed, but against the dark background, they don’t feel ethereal at all. Instead, they send chills down one’s spine.
Death, destruction, chaos, disaster...
Staring at those Buddhist mantras, all you can imagine are the darkest words in the world.
A huge black gold wheel of light loomed behind Shen Qian's head. He was smiling, as if he had truly transformed into a Buddha who would save the world, but his body was filled with the aura of destruction.
The next moment, Buddha gave birth to an apparition.
He seemed to be still standing in the same place, but his body only moved slightly, and his shadow began to appear everywhere in the sky.
Woo!
The air almost shattered with a harsh sound.
The Buddha appeared in front of the fourth heavenly gate and punched him arrogantly.
boom!
In Chu Yiran's blank eyes, flesh and blood burst out in mid-air.
The Buddha appeared again four hundred meters to the southeast, six hundred meters to the northwest, and then returned to the same place.
boom! boom!
That flicker, which was almost a breath away, had it not been for the ubiquitous phantom and the successive explosions of blood mist as evidence, Chu Yiran would have thought it was teleportation.
Chu Yiran became even more confused.
For ordinary warriors, 100 meters in 2 seconds is a huge threshold. It is the first shackles of the laws of physics.
The only people who can break this boundary are Shan Hai in general perception.
In Shanhai's eyes, 100 meters per second is another huge threshold.
Those who can break this limit must either have a special "Tao", practice some special magical power, or be a strong person who has accomplished physical training.
No matter which path you take, you already have the foundation to be at the top of the mountain and sea.
Further up, there is the third shackles on speed imposed by the laws of physics.
That is...a limit of 0.1 seconds per 100 meters.
Chu Yiran didn't have enough realm, but he heard his teacher mention it.
The triple lock of speed has touched the edge of taboo.
The so-called taboo means that it cannot be mentioned and cannot be touched.
Even princes who have reached a higher realm may not have ever broken taboos in the mountains and seas.
And when they step into the realm of princes, no matter how taboo they break, they are no longer called taboos.
0.1 seconds is a minute and a second, and minutes and seconds are centiseconds.
Centiseconds are the beginning of the triple lock and the door to the forbidden realm.
Chu Yiran didn't know the specific speed value of the Dark Buddha that Shen Qian incarnated just now, but the teacher told him that there was a very simple way to judge the forbidden area of speed.
When you have the illusion that time and space are frozen, it means that you are already within the forbidden realm of the spell caster.
So Chu Yiran tried hard to open his eyes wide and breathe quickly... He wanted to do something casually to prove that everything in front of him was just an illusion.
Yes, he wished this was an illusion.
Because the waves in front of him solidified, no, actually they didn't.
Looking carefully, those waves are actually still surging, still falling, and still splashing, but their speed seems to have been slowed down a hundred times a thousand times, so there is no difference from being still!
In fact, Chu Yiran just passively accepted everything he perceived.
He saw phantoms and blood mist, but his sluggish thinking couldn't let him figure out what happened.
I don't know how long it took, it seemed like a century. As Chu Yiran was suffering from fear and confusion, at a certain moment, the waves in front of him suddenly accelerated and finally fell back into the river.
Wow!
Many fragmentary things stained with blood fell on Chu Yiran.
He touched it subconsciously, and then his face changed. The huge fear that had been delayed finally overwhelmed him at this moment, turning into the last straw, making him "plop" and sit paralyzed on the rocks.
"How can there be such a dark Buddha in the world... This is impossible, he... what on earth is he..."
Wu Danwu, who was trembling next to him, stood there blankly, staring at a certain location absently, and murmuring nervously.
