Immortals Step into Heaven

The sword shadow was several feet tall, emitting a dazzling blue light, holding a giant lightsaber, looking majestic. Xu Wen controlled the giant sword and rushed towards Shui Changyun.

Shui Changyun was secretly surprised by this, but as a gifted disciple of the Tianshui Sect, he wasn't easily intimidated. He quickly calmed himself, summoned the great flying sword back to his body, and gripped the hilt tightly with both hands. He shouted, "Heaven and water unite, sword formation to repel the enemy!" Instantly, countless flying swords, condensed from spiritual energy, appeared around him. These swords spun around him at high speed, forming a massive sword formation. Within the sword formation, runes shimmered, and sword energy surged, confronting Xu Wen's massive sword shadow.

After repelling Shui Yinyin, Zhang Xueyue quickly flew towards the battlefield between Tang Shishan and the middle-aged man. By this point, the battle between Tang Shishan and the middle-aged man had entered a life-or-death struggle. While Tang Shishan's Eighteen Mountain-Breaking Axes were powerful, he had been severely wounded, his physical and spiritual energy steadily draining. The middle-aged man was also battered, but with his tenacious will and rich combat experience, he persevered. Arriving, Zhang Xueyue joined the fray without hesitation.

The flying sword in her hand turned into a stream of light and stabbed towards the middle-aged man's back. The middle-aged man sensed the attack from behind and wanted to dodge, but it was too late. He could only turn around and use his sledgehammer to block Zhang Xueyue's flying sword. With a "clang", the flying sword and the sledgehammer collided, and the middle-aged man was thrown forward by the impact. Tang Shishan seized this opportunity, raised the axe high, and chopped at the middle-aged man with all his strength.

The middle-aged man had no choice but to take the blow head-on. The axe struck the sledgehammer with such force that it fractured both of the man's arms. He was sent flying, falling heavily to the ground, spitting blood and barely breathing.

Liu Pingping was delighted when Xu Wen summoned a massive sword shadow. Knowing it was one of Xu Wen's most powerful moves, she flew to its side, continuously channeling her own mana into it, replenishing its energy. With Liu Pingping's mana, the sword shadow shone even brighter, wielding its massive lightsaber as it slashed at Shui Changyun's sword formation. Shui Changyun, controlling the sword formation, fought back with all his might, and for a moment, the two sides were in a stalemate.

At this critical moment of stalemate, Xu Wen was trying to find the flaw in Shui Changyun's sword formation. His forehead was covered with sweat, which kept sliding down his cheeks. His clothes were already soaked with sweat, but his consciousness was like a sharp knife searching for Shui Changyun's flaws.

Finally, Xu Wen noticed a slight lag in the flow of spiritual energy on the right side of the sword formation. Without hesitation, he immediately manipulated the sword shadow, raising the massive lightsaber high and slashing it fiercely to the right. The lightsaber, carrying immense force, slashed through the air, sending ripples through the air wherever it passed.

Shui Changyun sensed Xu Wen's attack and was horrified. He desperately channeled his spiritual energy to the right, attempting to close the gap. However, Xu Wen's attack was too sudden and swift. Several flying swords on the right side of the sword formation were instantly severed by the lightsaber, dissipating into tiny points of spiritual light in the air. The balance of the sword formation was broken, and the entire formation began to falter.

Shui Changyun's face paled. He knew that if the sword formation was broken, he would be in extreme danger. So, he made a quick decision, abandoning his partially damaged flying sword and concentrating his remaining mana into a protective shield. He then quickly retreated, trying to distance himself from Xu Wen.

Xu Wen wouldn't let him get away so easily. He controlled the shadow of his sword and took long strides to catch up. Liu Pingping followed closely behind, red whip in hand ready to attack at any time.

On the other side, after Tang Shishan and Zhang Xueyue repelled the middle-aged man, they quickly rushed to join Xu Wen. They knew that although they had temporarily gained some advantages, other people from the Tianshui Sect might appear at any time.

As Shui Changyun retreated, he pulled a sound transmission seal from his storage bag. He quickly informed the other masters of the nearby Tianshui Sect of the situation, hoping they would rush to support him. After the sound transmission seal vanished into the sky in a streak of light, Shui Changyun felt a sense of relief. He stopped and turned to face the approaching Xu Wen and his companions, his eyes rekindled with fighting spirit. He knew he could no longer retreat and had to hold on until reinforcements arrived.

At this moment, Xu Wen's sword shadow had already reached a short distance in front of Shui Changyun. From within the giant, Xu Wen shouted, "Shui Changyun, today is your death!" With that, the sword shadow swung its lightsaber again, slashing at Shui Changyun. Shui Changyun gritted his teeth, channeling all his mana into his shield, preparing for the fatal blow.

Shui Yinyin and the middle-aged man hurried along, arriving at Shui Changyun's side in a flash. Knowing the dire situation, Shui Yinyin dared not delay. With a swift movement of her hands and a mumbling incantation, she unleashed a water wall. Initially, the water wall resembled an ordinary barrier, but as Shui Yinyin's power continued to flow, it seemed to come alive, expanding at an astonishing rate. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a towering, imposing wall of water, its vast bulk like a towering barrier, completely enveloping the three of them.

The middle-aged man didn't dare relax. He took a deep breath, and his magical power instantly surged like a surging tide. The hammer in his hand, once ordinary in size, shone with light and expanded dramatically under the infusion of magical power. In an instant, it transformed into an immense, unstoppable card. The card stretched across the water wall, its vastness and heaviness seeming to ward off any attack, bringing an indescribable, deep-seated sense of security. It felt as if, as long as the water wall and the card were there, no danger could approach the three of them.

Just as the lightsaber was about to strike Shui Changyun's shield, a blinding flash of light suddenly streaked in from the distance, accompanied by a powerful surge of mana. Everyone looked closely and saw that it was several masters from the Tianshui Sect who had arrived. They quickly dispersed, forming a circle that trapped Xu Wen and the others.

One of the white-haired old men, his eyes wide open, shouted, "Who are you, madman? How dare you act so recklessly here?" Xu Wen was startled, but now that things had come to this, he showed no fear. He replied, "The Tianshui Sect is committing evil, and we are merely enforcing justice." The old man snorted coldly, "Stop talking nonsense! Today is your burial place."

With that, the Tianshui Sect's masters unleashed their unique skills. Suddenly, a crisscross of magical light crisscrossed, some transforming into giant flaming birds, others condensing into a rain of sharp icy arrows, whistling towards Xu Wen and the others. Xu Wen immediately commanded his swords to block the incoming attacks. The swords danced like flying arrows, blocking the incoming attacks one after another, splashing bursts of brilliant light.
