The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

A tremendous impact emanated from the center of the demonic halberd and sword formation, causing the city's residents to watch this perilous scene in the sky with bated breath.

blocked!

The joy of the crowd did not last long.

After realizing it couldn't break through the sword formation's defenses, the enormous, jet-black demonic halberd dissipated into several wisps of black energy that coiled around the spirit swords within the formation.

The sword cultivators turned pale. Although their spirit swords were also forged with precious spirit stones, they were not as effective as the demon-sealing stones in suppressing demonic energy.

They can still control the sword, but when they recall the spirit sword, it's the same as recalling the demonic energy that entwines it.

The sky above Juexian City seemed to be covered by a layer of dark clouds, and the swirling sword formation was completely trapped in the clouds.

Tao Jiang was very cunning, and wrapped demonic energy around the spirit sword.

If these sword cultivators try to attack the demonic energy with their spiritual swords, they will inevitably attack the spiritual swords of other sword cultivators.

If even one of the spirit swords makes a rash move, the entire sword formation will fall into chaos.

Once the sword formation is disrupted, he will be able to find an opening and break through the defensive formation protecting the Immortal City.

Xiao Xun, who was watching from below the city gate with Pei Heng, also saw this scene. He took out a pill from his sleeve and was about to swallow it.

Pei Heng disregarded the distinction of rank and grabbed Xiao Xun's hand, saying, "Senior Xiao, you mustn't."

"This secret medicine comes at the cost of burning one's life essence."

Xiao Xun was seriously injured, and this pill was a Nine-Turn Life-Saving Pill.

As the name suggests, consuming it can restore Xiao Xun's combat power to its peak state in a short period of time, but the price is that it will burn Xiao Xun's essence and blood.

Until the essence and blood are completely burned away.

Given Xiao Xun's current physical condition, even if Jue Xian City wins the war after he finishes taking the Life-Returning Pill, Xiao Xun will still die.

Xiao Xun's expression was indifferent, his eyes cold: "The Spirit Sword Formation has been entangled by Tao Jiang's Demon Halberd. There is no one in the city who can force Tao Jiang to withdraw his Demon Halberd."

"Don't waste any more time. Once the city falls, everyone will die."

"I am the city lord of Juexian City. I may die, but Juexian City must not perish."

Xiao Xun, whose other hand was not grabbed by Pei Heng, directly grasped Pei Heng's wrist.

Pei Heng, a mere healer, was no match for the valiant and skilled warrior Xiao Xun.

He could only watch helplessly as Xiao Xun pried his hand open and then put the Nine-Turn Life-Returning Pill into his mouth.

But the next moment, a clear, melodious sword cry came from outside the sword formation.

Everyone heard the clear, pure sound of the sword, a sound that seemed capable of cleansing away all filth.

Xiao Xun's hand froze in mid-air, instinctively following the figure.

He murmured, "Senior Shen?"

But Xiao Xun was destined to be disappointed.

High above, the figure confronting the menacing Tao Jiang was not the familiar blue-clad figure he had hoped for, but a female cultivator dressed in white.

She stood firm, holding her spirit sword, and met Tao Jiang's gaze without the slightest hint of fear.

Xiao Xun recognized her as the female sword cultivator who was following Shen Huaichuan.

The sword cry just now also came from the spirit sword in her hand.

Despite the slim chances, a faint hope still arose in Xiao Xun's heart.

"Xiao Xun's favorability +10, current favorability 20, luck value +1."

Yun Yici raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing the system notification, but Tao Jiang mistakenly thought that Yun Yici's raised eyebrow was for him.

Tao Jiang's lust was aroused again, and he said, "I originally intended to let you go for now, and then take you back to my Demon Palace to pamper you properly after we conquered Juexian City. I didn't expect you to be so impatient."

He gestured for Yun Yici to come over: "Fine, I'll take you in for now."

Tao Jiang's disgusting words enraged Huai Chuan's sword spirit.

As Huai Chuan's sword chant resounded once more, the spirit swords in the sword formation atop the city wall simultaneously unleashed a burst of sky-piercing sword light, their blades vibrating and resonating as if in response to Huai Chuan.

With one sword strike, ten thousand swords responded in unison, a strange scene that left all the sword cultivators dumbfounded.

The next moment, all the swords in the sword formation began to move independently of their master's command.

Qingwei saw through the trick and quickly stopped the other sword cultivators: "Watch first."

Each of them wields a sword, but each has different thoughts, and the swords are entangled in demonic energy. If they move haphazardly, the sword formation will collapse on its own.

However, with the spirit of Huaichuan Sword present, the spirit swords in the sword formation seemed to have a guiding principle, and they began to fight the demonic energy in the formation in an orderly manner.

Tao Jiang also realized that it was Yun Yici's spirit sword that was causing the trouble.

He became interested in the Huai Chuan Sword and asked curiously, "What is the origin of your sword? How can it command the spiritual swords of other sword cultivators?"

Although he was a demonic cultivator, he knew that once a human cultivator's magical artifact recognizes its master, it will not obey the commands of others.

Yun Yici declared firmly, "This sword is named Huaichuan. It is the personal sword of the sword immortal Shen Huaichuan. It is used to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path. No demon can escape its wrath!"

Her voice carried throughout the city, and everyone who heard Shen Huaichuan's name felt their hopes rekindled.

"Shen Huaichuan!"

"It's the Huai Chuan Sword! The Sword Immortal's spirit sword!"

"We are so fortunate to have seen the Huai Chuan Sword!"

"Immortal City is saved! We are saved!"

The sword cultivators, who had inexplicably lost control of their spirit swords, also showed expressions of pride and longing.

It should be noted that after the Huai Chuan Sword was lost, it was hidden by the Nan Hua Sect for so many years that outsiders had no chance to see it.

Therefore, when Yun Yici traveled around, not many people recognized her identity.

Shen Huaichuan listened blankly to the girl's voice, as well as the excited voices of the cultivators and mortals below the city.

Throughout his life, he participated in countless battles and protected countless people; he also heard countless tales of the people's admiration and jubilation.

But this was the first time he had heard someone call out to him since he became a mortal.

Shen Huaichuan.

It's like a lost soul that has been wandering alone outside the world for a long time, suddenly being pulled back into the world.

Tao Jiang was shocked to hear that Yun Yici's arrogant words had boosted the morale of the cultivators in Juexian City. He sneered, "Shen Huaichuan's sword?"

"So what if it's Shen Huaichuan's sword? Do you think you're Shen Huaichuan here?"

Shen Huaichuan was indeed present.

Yun Yici dared not relax for a moment. Her domain had already quietly opened. She lowered her gaze and looked at Zhong Tu, who was hiding in the corner.

Tao Jiang, this demon, is probably the most powerful enemy she has encountered since she began her cultivation.

Not only that, she also had to guard against Zhong Tu taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Tao Jiang saw that Yun Yi Ci remained silent and assumed that she was afraid.

His face contorted with rage as he extracted a wisp of the demonic energy that Huai Chuan had used to escape with the spirit sword, reforming it into the shape of a demonic halberd. Then, he thrust the halberd straight at Yun Yici.

The demonic aura emanated from the halberd, and any blow from its three sharp forks would be fatal.

Huai Chuan was leading the sword formation, and Yun Yici's wind power condensed in his hand, and a wind sword in the shape of Huai Chuan materialized to block Tao Jiang's attack!

However, since the Wind Sword was formed from her spiritual power, Tao Jiang shattered it with a single strike.

Fortunately, with Shen Huaichuan's guidance, Yun Yici no longer needed to condense a wind sword for even a moment; all the winds in the world were at her disposal.

Yun Yici realized that it was not advisable to confront Tao Jiang head-on. Relying on her speed and the exquisite sword techniques taught by Shen Huaichuan, she forced Tao Jiang to stay away from her for a short period of time.
