In the square at the top of the cliff mountain, in the middle were Wang Nian and three others, back to back, with solemn expressions. Above them is a black mountain that has not been completely released. All around were streaks of falling sword intent that whizzed in and whizzed away like meteors.
However, Wang Nian and the others, who were unable to "see" due to the formation, were four long swords suspended in the four corners, each with a different style.
But these four long swords are not magic weapons, or they are not made like magic weapons.
Because these four long swords are all cut out of bamboo.
If the three of them could see it, they would tell that these long swords come from the spiritual species "Green Steel Bamboo" that grows in the mountains behind the cliff. This kind of bamboo has good flexibility and hardness. And it has excellent conductivity of spiritual energy and immortal energy. It is a spiritual species naturally evolved from the cliff mountain and can be used to make magical and fairy weapons. However, this kind of bamboo grows very slowly, and ordinary disciples are not qualified to cut it down. It is necessary that the Alchemy Hall will cut off three or two of them every ten or twenty years as planned.
Therefore, the Green Steel Bamboo is only available in Duyashan itself and will not flow to the outside world at all.
Then it is self-evident who created this formation that trapped Wang Nian and the others. Behind him was Zhang Yan, who was concentrating on observing the operation of the formation with his hands behind his back, and at the same time using means to control it.
Would you feel guilty for cheating your apprentice like this? Zhang Yan doesn't know this at all.
Disciples are just there to be bossed around. What's more, this will also help them open their eyes and understand what sword formations in the world are all about.
In fact, apart from his three apprentices, Zhang Yan really had no one else he could deceive. Because in the Wild Sky Realm, even if you are cheated by Zhang Yan, you still have to be qualified. If you are not even in the fairyland, then you are not qualified.
Naturally, Zhang Yan's intention was not to look for trouble on a whim or because he was too busy to do anything. Rather, Zhang Yan needed a strong enough target to test his achievements in sword formation and kendo over the years.
Originally, Zhang Yan was going to find some sword formations from the Wanxiang Zhuli Library Hall to practice. But when he had such an idea and began to cut bamboo according to the prototype of the four swords suspended in Dao Dan, the sword soul in Dao Dan seemed to be touched by Zhang Yan's thoughts.
Zhang Yan also didn't know how the other party in his Dao Dan could simultaneously learn the thoughts in his consciousness. But the other party has no ill intentions, or even good intentions.
An obviously cut sword formation technique appeared directly from Zhang Yan's sea of consciousness. It was so detailed that every detail was not missed. It could be used to set up the sword formation directly.
Zhang Yan understood that this was a quarter of the Zhuxian Sword Formation. Because this part has a name: Killing Immortals Sword Domain.
The four swords of Zhuxian are: killing the immortal, destroying the immortal, trapping the immortal, and killing the immortal.
The Immortal Killing Sword Domain must refer to the Immortal Killing Sword. It is the only sword that Zhang Yan currently possesses.
"Is this...all delivered to your door?"
Zhang Yan has always felt that any benefit is equal to what you pay. Such is the practice, such is the strength, and the same is true for everything. But the series of things happening in front of him made him both surprised and confused. Sometimes even thinking about it makes me feel inexplicably uneasy.
To put it bluntly, Zhang Yan felt that the benefits he received now were not equal to what he paid for it, and he took a huge advantage.
Is this really what Li Dianchuan said about "people with great luck", who can find bargains wherever they go?
Or is the price hidden and Zhang Yan himself can’t see it for the time being?
But no matter which one it is. Zhang Yan faced the real Zhuxian Sword Formation, even if it was only a quarter of it, he would never be timid because of the price of being timid. There is no hesitation about this kind of thing at all, just take it and talk about it later.
But Zhang Yan found that he couldn't arrange the sword array after he got it. It involved the "Sword Way" and "Yi Yi Dao" methods that he had guessed from the beginning, but Zhang Yan was barely able to get started in these two aspects. Especially in terms of "kendo", he is a complete layman.
Therefore, Zhang Yan still did not show up in Duoya Mountain in the following years. What he did was to cultivate his understanding and understanding of "Sword Way" starting from the most basic sword techniques, while continuing to dig deeper into the means of "Yi Yi Dao". Finally, it can be simplified and put into use.
I also thought about using the sword spirit in Dao Dan to participate in the training of Immortal Killing Sword Domain. The results weren't great. In the end, after many attempts, and the warming of the sword soul in the Tao Dan gradually began to take effect, Zhang Yan was able to mobilize a small part of the "spirit" of the sword soul to use it to kill the four-handled green steel bamboo sword version of his own. In the Immortal Sword Domain.
Today is the day when Zhang Yan feels that his Immortal Killing Sword Domain has just begun, and he wants to find someone to test his strength.
Is there anyone in the Wild World who is a more suitable test stone than Wang Nian and the three immortals?
In the end, although Zhang Yan did not activate the sword formation with all his strength, he still forced Wang Nian and the others to barely defend without the possibility of breaking the formation. This is still counting the magic weapon Mountain Seal in Wang Nian's hand. Otherwise, the three of them would not be able to survive half a stick of incense when faced with Yuluo's sword intent in the sword formation, without any means to resist the conscious attack.
Sword Intent is the reason why Zhang Yan always insists on using Sword Intent. Because his current level of "Yi Yi Dao" and "Sword Way" is not enough to use a sharp enough sword attack. With the blessing of the sword spirit, it would be different.
In this way, compared to the suffering and danger that Wang Nian and the others suffered in the sword formation, Zhang Yan was cheating his disciples outside the sword formation while checking which areas of the sword array he had set up needed to be strengthened and which areas had appeared. of mistakes.
When Zhang Yan dispersed from the sword formation, he looked at his disciples who had been slightly injured and had lost more than half of their immortal energy with a smile. He secretly thought to himself that it had been a long time since we last saw each other. It should be meaningful for them to say hello like this, right?
"This is the sword formation that I have been studying for several years. What do you think?"
Zhang Yan's appearance was too sudden, causing his three disciples to jump from the dangerous moment to "surprise". The magic seals and seals they held in their hands had all been forgotten, and the three pairs of eyes were like this. Looking straight at it.
Zhang Yan didn't say anything. He could imagine how his disciples felt at this time, so he gave them time to relax.
After a few breaths, Wang Nian and the other two people reacted almost at the same time. They dispersed their tight immortal aura and killing posture, and at the same time knelt down and kowtowed obediently. I haven’t seen Master for many years, so the courtesy is indispensable.
"Okay, no need to be too polite. Do you have an answer to what I just asked?"
The three of them looked at each other, and finally Wang Nian replied: "To return to Master, the sword array just now was sharp and weird. If it weren't for the mountain seals as defense, it would be difficult for the three of us to survive those rain-like attacks. Come down. And that seems to be the sword intention mentioned in Taoist books?

Master, are all attacks in the void world so sharp? "
