"Xiao Jin, go try that sword formation!" A voice came from the waterfall on the top of the cliff.
"Ouch!" There was a loud roar, and then a giant golden shadow fell from the sky, hitting Liangchen's foothold heavily.
"Crack--!" There was a collision of ice and fire, and a few feet away, a figure with two wings on its back appeared almost simultaneously. It was Liangchen who heard the sound and dodged the blow.
"Array up!" Without saying a word, Liangchen changed the spell in his hand, and the light curtain gradually faded, and finally turned into two flying swords.
The flying sword drew two arcs on the left and right, surrounding the Golden Monkey King.
"Array down!" The flying sword spun faster and faster, and the light curtain formed again.
"The sword light moves!" Liangchen poured all his mana into it, and two sword lights, one green and one blue, flew out instantly.
The golden monkey king remained motionless in the formation, his whole body flashed with golden light, and his fists struck the two sword beams with golden shadows.
"Ding dong!" There was a thin sound, and the sword light bounced back instantly like hitting gold and iron.
The sword light received this blow, and the light dimmed a lot. It bounced back again. The Monkey King punched twice again, and the sword light was directly scattered!
"Ah!" The sword formation was used for the first time, but it turned out to be in vain.
Liangchen's magic power was activated, and four sword rays shot out from the light curtain, flying towards the Golden Monkey King.
The Monkey King's fists were like wind, causing the sword light to fly in all directions, but the sword light bounced faster and faster, and the direction became more and more weird and cunning.
The monkey king was hit by the sword light several times. Although he was not injured, the pain caused him to grin and growl.
Liangchen's magic power is constantly running. Whenever he finds that the sword light has weakened or disappeared, he will activate the sword formation to send out several more sword light attacks.
The golden monkey king was also aroused and became more and more brave.
The whole body was covered with golden light, and his fists were as fast as the wind. Sometimes, despite the pain of being hit by the sword light, he punched the light screen with both fists, trying to break the sword formation directly.
Little did he know that this light curtain was extremely strong, with only a few cracks showing.
Then Liangchen urged him to use more sword rays to hit its eyes, armpits, neck and other weak defense areas, forcing it to protect itself.
At the bottom of the cliff, a huge green-red flowing light curtain enveloped a giant golden shadow, with overlapping fist shadows in the middle, roaring continuously, and sword lights flying.
This battle lasted most of the time!
Although I took several elixirs at good times during the journey, due to the huge consumption, I could not replenish them at all, and the mana in my body finally gradually dried up.
The sword light in the light curtain began to dim, and the light curtain was not as thick as it was at the beginning.
Finally, the Golden Monkey King found an opportunity, pounced, punched the light screen with both fists, and a burst of golden light burst out from his fists.
"Click" sound! The light curtain instantly shattered!
"Ding Dong!" There were two clear sounds, and two swords, one red and one green, fell to the ground and scattered around the Monkey King.
After receiving this blow, Liangchen's body shook. He vomited a mouthful of blood and held on to an ancient tree next to him to stabilize his body.
And the golden monkey king no longer had the majesty he had at the beginning, and looked very embarrassed.
The majestic golden hair on his body was also chopped into pieces, and there were even a few spots of weak defense showing traces of blood, and his whole body's aura was much weaker.
It seems that although this battle was won, the price paid was not small.
"It's great to be able to force Xiao Jin like this!" The old man appeared in front of Liangchen at some unknown time.
"Senior, junior still failed." Liangchen took a healing potion, stood up slowly and saluted.
"Using your mid-stage Foundation Establishment mana to fight against a fifth-level monster in the early Golden Core stage, what's the surprise of failure? If you can win, that would be a surprise!" the old man said with a smile.
"However, senior said that after successfully practicing this sword formation, you can defeat those who are higher than yourself." Liangchen said.
"I said so! Then let me ask you, did you hurt Xiaojin last time you fought with him?" The old man looked at Liangchen and asked.
"Failed to break through its defense." Liangchen replied.
"What about this time?" The old man made a casual move, and the golden monkey king came over with a "squeak!" as if he was unhappy.
"Don't blame me for hurting the senior spirit beast!" Liangchen looked at the golden monkey king and saw a few blood stains under his shoulder. It should be that his armpit was injured.
"Haha, how can such an injury be considered an injury! On your side, this time you were injured more seriously than last time." The old man said with a smile.
"It's okay, junior." Liangchen said.
"Being able to fight so far this time and break through its defense is already a great improvement! And the power of your sword formation is not even half of its power! You just want to defeat it?" said the old man.
"What!? It's not even half as powerful!" Liangchen exclaimed when he heard it.
It can have such an effect with less than half of its power. How powerful would it be if it could be used with all its strength!
"Yes, or even lower!" The old man looked at Liangchen's surprised expression and said calmly.
"Do you know why?" the old man continued to ask.
"Junior doesn't know!" Liangchen replied.
"When I passed you the secret book, I told you to come and ask me if you have any questions. But after you have practiced the magic of refining yourself, you will go directly to the sword formation. Have you ever asked me for my opinion?"
"I saw you laughing and shouting 'success', so I decided to let you know: the sword formation was not successful, you still need to work hard!"
The old man said jokingly.
"Junior is being reckless, please correct me, senior." Liangchen said quickly.
"It's my fault too! I thought it would take some time for you to practice the divine tempering technique, but I didn't expect you to reach the first level so quickly!
It took me several years to practice the first level, so it seems that your foundation is indeed very good! I was indeed right. "The old man said with slight approval.
"There are several key points to the sword formation. The first point is that if the sword formation is to exert 100% of its power, the swords that make up the sword formation must at least be low-grade spiritual treasures." The old man said slowly.
"Low-grade Lingbao!" Liangchen said in surprise.
"This lower-grade spirit treasure is very expensive, and I really don't have one! After I recovered my mana, I also considered collecting materials to refine the lower-grade spirit treasure. But there were too many things that needed to be done, so I didn't take it to heart! "Liangchen thought about it in his heart.
"Yes! You can also use the sword formation with the magic weapon in your hand, but the power will be greatly reduced!" said the old man.
"You must know that the power of spiritual treasures and magic weapons are not the same, so the full power of the sword array can be exerted.
Otherwise, although the sword array formed by your magic weapon appears to have been used, the sword light is not sharp enough.
If you had used two Lingbao to perform it just now, Xiaojin probably wouldn't have suffered such a slight injury! "
"One more thing, although the Liangyi Sword Formation is the simplest sword formation, its power will increase as your mana increases, and it will also increase as the power of your sword increases!
It won’t work if you use a magic weapon, so the minimum requirement is a low-grade spiritual treasure!
Lingbao is different from magic weapon because it has two characteristics. One is that it will increase in level as the master's level of mana increases. It can be cultivated day and night, and its grade will also increase.
Second, if we can find some natural and earthly treasures to integrate into it in the future, we can improve it again. This is its growth potential.
So I ask you to practice sword formation and need low-grade spiritual treasures. Do you understand? "
The old man's words made Liangchen suddenly enlightened and he nodded repeatedly.
