Chapter 107: Rosemary Illusion Formation
Qiao Haisheng shouted as boundless sword vapor erupted from his body. A huge sword shadow emerged from his body.
The flying sword that was initially frozen by the cold air also trembled rapidly. It instantly became seven feet long and appeared above Qiao Haisheng’s head.
Seeing Chen Jingzhai’s shocked expression, Qiao Haisheng chuckled. At the same time, the flying sword was hovering over him.
With the sword hilt facing down and the tip facing up, the huge sword shadow slowly overlapped with the flying sword. The violent, domineering, and sharp sword vapor easily broke through the water flow on his body.
It scattered from Qiao Haisheng’s body and bombarded the Eight Trigrams Platform. It also rushed toward Chen Jingzhai, but it was blocked by his robe. Finally, the battle forum vibrated, and dense restriction runes appeared, protecting the surroundings.
The destructive power of the sword vapor was highly shocking.
Even the restriction runes on the Eight Trigrams Platform were revealed under the impact of the sword vapor to strengthen their defenses.
“This is… intrinsic sword vapor!” Wang Yao stood up and exclaimed.
“Not only that!” Kong Guang’s gaze was faint. “There’s also a trace of the rudimentary form of sword’s will.”
“Junior Brother Tian, are there so many deep secrets in your branch?” Shen Yurong asked.
“I don’t know either!” Tian Feng said wryly.
“Is that the rudimentary form of sword’s will?” Jiang Youning stared at the gigantic sword shadow silently.
“Senior Brother Kong, are you sure? Is it really the rudimentary form of sword’s will?” Li Yifei asked.
“There’s no mistake,” Kong Guang said. “Although it’s not sword’s will, he has touched the threshold. With this trace of the rudimentary form of sword’s will, his intrinsic sword vapor is extraordinarily piercing.”
“Then won’t Little Master-Uncle be in danger?” Zhang Kui shouted.
“That might not be the case!” Zhao Qinghe said, “Little Master-Uncle is not that easy to defeat!”
The others looked at each other with different expressions. However, most were puzzled as to why Zhao Qinghe was so certain. After all, Qiao Haisheng’s cultivation was deeper than Chen Jingzhai’s, and he was also a disciple of the sword branch.
Now, Qiao Haisheng had his intrinsic sword vapor and a trace of the rudimentary form of the sword’s will. It should be reasonable if he managed to defeat Little Master-Uncle, right? Ever since he went on stage, Little Master-Uncle had been suppressed! Where did Zhao Qinghe’s confidence come from? The other disciples were puzzled.
On the Eight Trigrams Platform.
Chen Jingzhai looked at the ominous sword shadow and Qiao Haisheng, who was wrapped in sword vapor.
“The power of the intrinsic sword vapor and a trace of the rudimentary form of sword’s will!”
“The disciples of the sword branches are indeed extraordinary. I should have challenged the Test of Swords!”
He shook his head to himself, feeling very calm.
It was only natural for a disciple of a sword branch to have a trump card, but he did not expect it to be such a trump card. The magic treasure he had been guarding against did not appear. From this, it could be seen that the rumors that spread across the branches had some basis. The disciples of the sword branches did not care about borrowing the power of magic treasures. They only trusted the swords in their hands. It was a pity.
Qiao Haisheng’s move was not bad. In fact, it was very powerful. However, he still had not challenged his bottom line, Chen Jingzhai thought silently.
“What are you waiting for?”
“I’ll give you a chance to take out your magic treasure!”
Qiao Haisheng looked at Chen Jingzhai and called out.
“Okay!” Chen chuckled. “As you wish.”
The Five Bamboo Sword flew out of his body and landed in his palm. The Grade 3 sword vapor contained the five elements. It was very convenient, and he used it with ease.
Meanwhile, the Golden Flame Sword and the White Jade Sword appeared behind him at the same time. The two swords flew out to either side of the Eight Trigrams Platform.
Chen Jingzhai held the Five Bamboo Sword and rushed toward Qiao Haisheng.
“Is that it?”
“How disappointing, Little Master-Uncle!”
“Looks like I won this round!”
“Hahaha!”
Qiao Haisheng laughed wildly and waved his hand, sending out a surge of sword vapor. This sword vapor was extremely exaggerated and several times larger than ordinary sword vapor. Almost instantly, it covered the entire Eight Trigrams Platform.
Chen Jingzhai seemed unable to dodge in time and was torn apart by the soaring sword vapor. Seeing this scene, Qiao Haisheng’s pupils constricted, then he sneered.
“Ah, playing such tricks again. But, little Master-Uncle, are you out of tricks?
“If you don’t want to lose face, just admit defeat obediently!” Qiao Haisheng shouted, but his hands kept waving.
Sword vapor flew out layer by layer and covered the entire Eight Trigrams Platform. In addition, the Restrictions around the Eight Trigrams Platform were shaken by the impact.
However, Chen Jingzhai did not appear.
On the other hand, Qiao Haisheng seemed very angry that he could not force Chen Jingzhai to come out. He did not hesitate to attack. Sword vapor shot out in all directions, with him as the center.
Ten minutes passed like this.
He stopped abruptly, his entire face twisting. Something seemed very wrong. Immediately after, he covered his head and knelt down.
The intrinsic sword vapor naturally dissipated, leaving only the flying sword in the air.
“What happened?” Everyone watching the battle forum was stunned.
Qiao Haisheng already had the upper hand. So why did he meet with such an accident for no reason?
“It’s an illusion technique!” Zhao Qinghe said leisurely.
“It’s the Rosemary Illusion Formation, a Grade 2 formation.” Li Yifei chuckled. “With the sword as the formation foundation, the moment Qiao Haisheng releases his sword vapor is also the moment the formation is complete.”
“Can an illusionary formation make Senior Brother Qiao like this?” Tian Feng had immense doubts.
“Although sword cultivators are powerful, they are not without flaws,” Zhao Qinghe said calmly.
“Little Master-Uncle had obviously discovered Qiao Haisheng’s weakness!” Li Yifei chuckled.
They both hit the nail on the head. Chen Jingzhai had discovered Qiao Haisheng’s flaw during the Zhengdu battle.
On the Eight Trigrams Platform, Chen Jingzhai appeared behind Qiao Haisheng and casually stabbed out with his sword. The flying sword blocked this attack with a buzz!
Chen Jingzhai was not surprised. Qiao Haisheng had nurtured the flying sword with his heart blood, so it would naturally help Qiao Haisheng resist the danger.
However, without Qiao Haisheng’s control, could the flying sword block the attack?
The answer was obvious.
The jade token flew out and enveloped Qiao Haisheng in light. He was teleported away.
Chen Jingzhai subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
He did not retract his illusion formation, but the jade token was not affected.
It brought Qiao Haisheng out of the Eight Trigrams Platform.
This was enough to show that the battle forum was indeed very strong, even beyond his imagination.
It was no wonder that his innate ability could not reveal the specific information of the battle forum.
“Is it Grade Six or beyond Grade Six?”
Chen Jingzhai still had this thought in his mind, even after returning to the first place.
“Congratulations, Little Master-Uncle!” Zhang Kui smiled.
“What’s there to congratulate?” Chen Jingzhai waved his hand and said indifferently.
“Senior Brother Qiao Haisheng was placed third in the previous battle forum,” Li Yifei reminded. “Since Master-Uncle could deal with him, it means that your combat strength is close to the top three!”
“As you said, it was the previous battle forum,” Chen Jingzhai said calmly.
Li Yifei was speechless. There was also Jiang Liuyun in the previous battle forum!
There was no big rising star in this batch. Instead, the most powerful were the seniors from the previous batch.
At this moment, Qiao Haisheng had already escaped from the illusion realm. He rubbed his eyes and scanned the crowd. His expression was a little serious, especially after encountering Chen Jingzhai. No one knew what he had experienced because the illusion formation was derived from him.
“Senior brother?” Tian Feng greeted him with concern.
“I’m fine.” Qiao Haisheng took a deep breath. “If you encounter Little Master-Uncle, just admit defeat! Or use your magic treasure and don’t give him a chance to attack. Only then will you have a chance of winning.”
“Alright!” Tian Feng replied without hesitation.
He was only at the Intermediate Foundation Plane and had improved rapidly only under Qiao Haisheng’s guidance. Tian Feng knew Qiao Haisheng well. Besides, Tian Feng had also seen the scene just now.
Even Qiao Haisheng was not Chen Jingzhai’s match, so Tian Feng believed that it would be difficult for him to win.
Little Master-Uncle was Little Master-Uncle, after all!
