This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

```

Cao Xiaoxin's Flying Sword Realm hadn't reached the Sword Burst Thunder Sound, but through the overlay of the One-Line Heaven Formation, its power far surpassed Lu Qingshan's Flying Sword.

Such is the formidable nature of a Sword Array.

Under the attack of the One-Line Heaven Sword Formation, countless overflowing Sword Qi immediately erupted from the Five Elements Sword Armor protecting Lu Qingshan.

Whoosh!

Seven Flying Swords in the sky had already adjusted their position, ready to swoop down on Lu Qingshan once again in the One-Line Heaven Formation.

"Myriad Swords Art!"

Lu Qingshan's heart tightened as he let out a low shout.

When it came to techniques of the Internal Sword, Cao Xiaoxin had his Sword Arrays, while he had the Myriad Swords Art.

This was the confidence he had in his duel with Cao Xiaoxin.

Hundreds of Sword Qi Filaments detached from his body and hovered around him.

"Go!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With a distant pointing gesture, the Peach Blossom Sword charged forward once more, but this time, it was not alone.

Because five hundred Sword Qi Filaments followed closely behind.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

A series of metallic collisions echoed through the air, and just like the swords of the One-Line Heaven Formation, the Peach Blossom Sword's momentum faltered.

Then came the five hundred Sword Qi Filaments, which, like small soldiers following the Peach Blossom Sword, immediately took their place at the front.

Mighty and grand, the iron cavalry formed up.

Bang!

Facing the relentless onslaught of five hundred Sword Qi Filaments, Cao Xiaoxin's remaining three Flying Swords were simply confronted and shattered upon contact, disintegrating instantly.

After repelling the three Flying Swords, the Sword Qi Filaments, relentless in their advance, charged towards Cao Xiaoxin.

The invisible pressure was so great that it caused a tightness in Cao Xiaoxin's heart.

"Three Talents Lotus Sword Formation!"

With a mere thought from Cao Xiaoxin, three Flying Swords among the five Shu Path swords in front of him—Mournful Bird, Child Cry, and Night Moon—simultaneously lit up and darted forward.

The three Flying Swords, standing in the positions of the Three Talents, transformed into a giant Three Talents Lotus as they flew.

The lotus's heart, composed of Sword Light, was incredibly sharp as it breathed in and out.

Zing! Zing! Zing!

From within the lotus, countless Sword Light stamens shot out, clashing with Lu Qingshan's Sword Qi Filaments in the air multiple times as if two armies were locked in a standoff.

With each collision, dozens of Sword Qi Filaments were extinguished.

After several exchanges, the Sword Qi Filaments had largely dissipated.

Of course, the Sword Light within the Three Talents Lotus were also nearly depleted.

The Mournful Bird, Child Cry, and Night Moon Flying Swords were all scattered aside.

Yet the well-prepared Cao Xiaoxin's mind moved once again, and he immediately controlled the last two Flying Swords to shoot forth.

"Lianfeng! Juebi!" Cao Xiaoxin's eyes burst with sharp glints.

Whir! Whir! Whir!

The two Flying Swords in the air intertwined to form a Taiji Two Instruments diagram, nurturing countless sharp Sword Light, continuously revolving.

At that moment, the previous three dispersed Flying Swords had also reassembled into a giant lotus.

For a moment, a Sword Lotus and a Taiji Two Instruments diagram appeared in the sky.

Both the Taiji Two Instruments and the Sword Lotus unleashed strands of Sword Light, simultaneously striking at Lu Qingshan.

What was even more terrifying was that the seven previously shattered Flying Swords had now re-formed into the One-Line Heaven Formation, turning into a frost line and slicing towards Lu Qingshan.

It was as if thousands of troops were besieging Lu Qingshan alone.

This was the terrifying aspect of an Inner Sword Cultivator who practiced Sword Array techniques. Once the Sword Arrays were deployed, they were overwhelming.

"Comparing in numbers?" Cao Xiaoxin muttered.

…

"For an Inner Sword Cultivator who practices the art of Sword Arrays to simultaneously control multiple Flying Swords is quite normal, but to also control multiple Sword Arrays is truly a supreme technique…" The elder next to Zhuan Zhu could not help but exclaim upon seeing Cao Xiaoxin manipulating the Three Talents Lotus Sword Formation, the Taiji Two Instruments Sword Formation, and the One-Line Heaven Sword Formation at the same time.

The Taiji Two Instruments Sword Formation, Three Talents Lotus Sword Formation, and One-Line Heaven Sword Formation are all among the top Sword Arrays with boundless power.

Deploying these top Sword Arrays places a great strain on one's mental and Divine Sense energy.

Ordinary cultivators managing to deploy a single top-tier Sword Array would be remarkable enough, sufficient to dominate their peers.

But Cao Xiaoxin managed to execute three formations concurrently, no wonder the elder was so astounded.

```

"Lu Qingshan, the situation has taken a turn for the worse!" the elder said in a calm voice

...

Facing the simultaneous onslaught of the three sword formations, a hint of madness flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes.

Go! Go! Go!

Behind him, a torrent of Sword Qi filaments swept out, covering the sky and blanketing the earth.

Four hundred strands, five hundred strands!

In the blink of an eye, he reached his current limit.

But it wasn't over, the number of Sword Qi filaments continued to increase!

Six hundred strands, seven hundred strands, eight hundred strands!

Lu Qingshan's eyes now faintly seeped with blood, clearly exerting himself to the fullest.

With his profound Spiritual Power, even producing a thousand strands of Sword Qi filaments wasn't out of question.

However, if the Sword Qi filaments weren't controlled, they would simply scurry about aimlessly, unable to form any combat power.

Thus, what determined the level of the Myriad Swords Art wasn't the number of Sword Qi filaments he could produce, but the number he could control.

Five hundred strands were the level Lu Qingshan could master perfectly.

Beyond that, he couldn't achieve full control

Now, faced with these three sword formations, Lu Qingshan was boldly challenging his own limits.

The Sword Qi filaments trembled slightly, forming streaks of Radiance in mid-air.

A sharp glint passed through Lu Qingshan's eyes, veins throbbing on his forehead, he did not hesitate to control the eight hundred Sword Qi filaments to meet the three sword formations without a moment's delay.

Whoosh!

Radiance traced arcs across the sky, and in an instant, heaven and earth transformed; these Sword Qi filaments actually wrapped around to form a Sword Qi Cage, trapping Cao Xiaoxin's three sword formations within.

The Sword Qi filaments continuously drifted up and down, forming an impenetrable barrier.

The Peach Blossom Sword moved back and forth within the Sword Qi Cage, attempting to break through the three formations.

Within the three sword formations, sword lights were constantly emitted, trying to extinguish the Sword Qi filaments and break out.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Sword Qi and sword light collided continuously, annihilating each other.

But as soon as one strand of Sword Qi filament was dispelled, another would immediately emerge, rejoining the fray.

The Sword Qi Cage appeared to be on the verge of collapsing, yet it held strong for a long time and was not broken by the sword formations.

Faced with this situation, Cao Xiaoxin remained calm and collected.

He could see that Lu Qingshan, in controlling eight hundred strands of Sword Qi filaments, had exceeded his limits.
Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire

While Cao Xiaoxin's control over the three sword formations was not effortless, it was indeed quite comfortable.

In this state, Lu Qingshan might last a long while on sheer willpower, but a constantly taut string will eventually snap.

When Lu Qingshan made a mistake, it would be the moment Cao Xiaoxin secured the victory.

Cao Xiaoxin felt confident of his triumph.

A full eight hundred strands of Sword Qi filaments made Lu Qingshan's eyes begin to redden.

He directly pushed up three hundred strands of Sword Qi filaments over his control limit of five hundred strands.

Straining.

Extremely straining.

But faced with Cao Xiaoxin's three sword formations, only such a number of Sword Qi filaments could stop the onslaught.

Moreover, Lu Qingshan had a wildly ambitious idea in mind.

His Primordial Spirit Realm, comparable to that of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, definitely met the basic requirements for eight hundred strands of the Myriad Swords Art.

The reason it was so strenuous was simply that he couldn't fully exert the power of his Primordial Spirit.

In such a case, the only thing to rely on was rigorous training, incessant progress.

And what better way to practice than to break through one's limits under extreme pressure?

The greater the oppression, the faster he'd improve.

Lu Qingshan had only one thought in mind... to push himself to the absolute limit.

If successful, it would mean leveraging the strength of others to achieve a boost in his power.

If not...

At worst, he would just have to expend some Experience Points to level up the Myriad Swords Art by one level.

Therefore, in this battle, he had no reason to lose, resting assured and fearless.
