Chapter 295: Might of the Four Divinity Swords

"Bring it on," said Xiang Shaoyun calmly .

His curiosity had been piqued when he heard what the crowd was saying about the supposedly powerful sword formation these four knew . Within the pool of soul spring, his cultivation level had reached peak eighth-stage Transformation Realm .

After the massive battle with Lightning Kid, signs were showing that he was close to breakthrough . If he could have a few more big battles, he might be able to directly enter the next stage .

"Since you have a death wish, don't blame us for what we're about to do . Activate the sword formation!" said the leader of the four .

The Four Divinity Swords drew their swords at the same time . Each of them stood at a different position, and using four completely identical swords, they sent four sword energies flying toward Xiang Shaoyun .

It was an extremely fast attack . Coming from four directions and with such speed, it was an attack not many people could avoid . Xiang Shaoyun activated his gift of instincts only to find no openings around him except the one upward .

Without any hesitation, he leaped and avoided the four's joint attack . But he found that the four were actually smiling, as if he had fallen into their trick . Suddenly, all four sword energies changed direction and shot upward toward him . The four sword energies had seemingly combined, were extremely terrifying, and were slicing even the air apart .

"Shit!" Xiang Shaoyun cried out when he finally found out how serious the mistake he had made was .

Any Transformation Realm would temporarily lose their mobility when midair since a Transformation Realm couldn't fly . The mobility would only return when they landed . Evidently, the first joint attack of the Four Divinity Swords was for the purpose of forcing their opponent to jump in the air before finishing the opponent off .

Such an attack was very hard to defend against and death was very likely . The crowd was watching with bated breath, wondering if Xiang Shaoyun could survive the attack .

Xiang Shaoyun was forced to once again draw his saber . He did not fly away using his White Tiger Wings, as he still wanted to keep that trump card hidden . Thus, his only option was to meet force with force .

Lightning Slash From the Clear Sky!

Using all his power, including the innate purple lightning, he slashed his saber downward . The slash was akin to a bolt of lightning with a destructiveness no weaker than the attack launched by the four .

Rumble! Rumble!

The sword energies collided with the saber energy, resulting in a series of rumbling as a massive shockwave spread outward from the impact . Clouds of dust formed, and the sharp energies shredded the pebbles and rocks in the vicinity .

Even though Xiang Shaoyun had destroyed the combined attack on him, he was still sent flying away by the impact of the collision . On the other hand, the Four Divinity Swords did not seem affected, as they had scattered the moment Xiang Shaoyun attacked .

"Shift of Four Divisions!" shouted the leader of the four .

Instantly, the four lined up and sent four beams of sword energy shooting in one straight line toward Xiang Shaoyun . They moved like the wind and attacked like the lightning, their attacks extremely thorny to deal with .

Not even Xiang Shaoyun had expected the four to be such difficult opponents . He had barely landed and the four sword energies had already arrived right before his head . His heart thumped as he immediately collapsed on his back as the sword energies sliced past his face . A few strands of his hair were sliced off, and a sharp pain assailed his cheek . Evidently, his face had been cut, and blood started flowing from it .

Before Xiang Shaoyun could even rejoice that he had avoided the attack, the follow-up attack arrived . Four sword energies arrived for him again, forcing him to take them on with a new energy barrier around him .

The sword energies pierced through his energy barrier and headed straight toward his body . If he was struck, even with the armor he wore, he would still be gravely injured . It was at this moment of crisis that Xiang Shaoyun's rich combat experience came into play . He flicked his wrist and swept his saber at the four sword energies and shifted their trajectories .

Cling! Clank!

The sword energies thus sliced across his clothes but did not leave a scratch on his flesh . In fact, the sword energies had still struck . The force behind them had merely been weakened by the shift of trajectory, and protected by the armor, Xiang Shaoyun remained unharmed .

Xiang Shaoyun then slashed his saber madly, forcing the Four Divinity Swords to pull away from him . He took the chance to get back on his feet . They stood facing each other . It was rather obvious that Xiang Shaoyun was the one at a disadvantage in the last exchange .

Xiang Shaoyun was staring at the four, and the four were staring at him . None of them said anything, but their battle intent was growing even more intense . Their next clash would definitely be an intense one . The observers stood still . They all held their breath and nobody made any sound, waiting for the next round of battle to start .

"Big Dipper Relocation!" The leader of the Four Divinity Swords was the one to break the silence .

The four started moving around rapidly at a speed so fast that nobody could clearly see  who was standing at which position anymore . Nearly 100 sword energies circled around Xiang Shaoyun, slowly forming a cyclone as they slowly closed in on Xiang Shaoyun .

During their previous clash, Xiang Shaoyun still had an option of escaping to the air above him . This time, all his paths were sealed . The sword energies surrounded him from all directions, not leaving a single opening .

The only way to escape the attack was to break out through brute force, and one needed to be far stronger than the four to accomplish that . Was Xiang Shaoyun capable of that? His Purple Lightning Saber shone brightly as his innate purple lightning and astral energy erupted, pushing him to his strongest state . His Nether Soul Domain and gift of instincts were also fully activated, assisting him in searching for a way out . Just as the sword energies were about to fully close in on him, he moved .

Saber intent!

He swung his saber in a certain direction . It was toward the weakest link of the Four Divinity Swords, the person ranked fourth among them . Before he was able to move away, Xiang Shaoyun's saber energy arrived . Xiang Shaoyun then became one with his saber, and together with the saber energy, he charged straight at the weak link .

Cling! Clank!

Numerous sparks appeared midair, and crisp sounds rang in the air .

Sphhlt!

Xiang Shaoyun's judgment proved to be correct as his target was indeed the weak link of the Four Divinity Swords . His target failed to block Xiang Shaoyun's slash, and all his sword energies shattered . He himself was slashed into two, his blood splashing everywhere . Xiang Shaoyun killed his target, but now his back was completely exposed to his other three opponents .
