EBE Chapter 166 Exquisite Sword Formation
Chapter 166 Exquisite Sword Formation
“Yes, we can’t keep fighting like this.” Xiao Lie followed closely behind, his swordsmanship becoming even more ferocious.
Afu, Datou, and Shizi nodded in agreement. They knew that they had to unite as one to have any chance of survival.
Just then, Shi Lingxing and the others also discovered their predicament.
The four of them exchanged a glance, a resolute glint in their eyes.
"We can't hesitate any longer; we must deal with these enemies as soon as possible and go to support them."
Shi Lingxing shouted, and the longsword in her hand pierced the enemy like lightning.
Wine Spirit Star, Flower Spirit Star, and Tea Spirit Star all nodded in agreement. The four of them were like four sharp swords, piercing straight into the enemy's heart.
Led by them, the four of them surged forward like an unstoppable torrent, crashing through the Qin army's defenses.
Their swordsmanship was sharp and fierce, and every strike struck fear into the hearts of their enemies.
Despite the four women's valiant efforts in fighting the enemy, the Qin army continued to pour in.
They knew they had to find a breakthrough as soon as possible to have any chance of survival.
Xiaoman then speared the enemy general away with her spear, and suddenly shouted, "Look over there!"
He pointed his silver spear at a spot where the enemy's defenses were relatively weak.
Upon hearing this, Shi Lingxing and the others all looked over.
The enemy forces there were relatively few in number and their defenses were also relatively weak.
They were overjoyed, knowing this was a good opportunity to break through.
"Sisters, follow me!" Shi Lingxing shouted, leading her sisters towards the breakthrough point.
Under their leadership, the eight women, like a sharp sword, instantly tore through the enemy's defenses.
They moved nimbly through the enemy ranks like four bolts of lightning.
Shanzi and the others also discovered this breakthrough, and they all shouted, "Charge over there!"
Then, together with Shi Lingxing and the others, they rushed toward that breakthrough point.
With everyone's efforts, they finally managed to break through the encirclement. They smiled at each other, their hearts filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.
They knew they couldn't let their guard down yet, because the Qin army was still in pursuit.
With everyone fighting hard, the Qin enemy army was gradually forced back.
They finally arrived near the location where the Spirit King was confronting the three Shadow Assassins.
The Spirit King's figure was graceful, his swordsmanship like a dragon, as he single-handedly fought against three masters with strange figures and ruthless moves, creating an extremely tense scene.
Although Shanzi, Xiaolie, Afu, and Datou were extremely anxious, they could only stand by and watch helplessly as their inner strength was greatly depleted.
In their current state, going up there would only cause trouble for the Spirit King.
"What's going on? Why is the Spirit King fighting against these three experts?"
As Shanzi swung his sword to repel the approaching enemy troops, he asked anxiously.
Xiao Lie frowned, his gaze fixed on the three shadow assassins.
"I'm not quite sure. I don't know who those three people are, but their martial arts skills are indeed impressive. They can fight against the Spirit King without being at a disadvantage."
Ah Fu, slightly out of breath, swung his sword and killed another enemy soldier.
"Our internal energy is being depleted, so we can't help the Spirit King right now."
Big Head brandished his sword, forcefully carving a bloody path, and chimed in, "Let's repel the enemy first, then see if we can help."
Their martial arts skills are amazing; we have no idea who they are.
Xiao Lie gritted his teeth and said with a determined look in his eyes, "Their martial arts are indeed powerful, but we are not invincible."
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Afu's eyes: "Oh, Xiao Lie, do you have a solution?"
Xiao Lie nodded, but then looked troubled: "The four of us can use the Linglong Formation to coordinate."
After thinking about it quickly, Shanzi still felt it was inappropriate.
“Using the exquisite formation can indeed enhance our combat power, but even if we are all at our peak, we probably can’t defeat one of them. However, it’s better than sitting and waiting to die.”
Just then, Shi Lingxing and the others successfully broke through and arrived near them.
Shi Lingxing and the other three overheard Shanzi and the others discussing some kind of formation.
She asked anxiously, "What are you four whispering about?"
Is there some powerful, untapped technique they haven't used yet?
Shanzi looked distressed and replied helplessly, "Sister Shi, it's not that we're hiding anything, it's just that in this situation, we have the will but not the strength."
As Afu struggled to swing his sword, panting heavily, he said, "The formation we're planning to use is extremely taxing on internal energy."
When internal energy is abundant, its power is naturally immense, but now our internal energy is almost exhausted, and we are struggling to use it effectively.
Hua Lingxing, with sharp eyes, guessed, "You're not talking about that exquisite sword formation, are you?"
Shi Zi nodded with a serious expression: "That's right. We only started discussing whether to take the risk after seeing the Spirit King fight those three alone."
But Sister Yang also knew that the Exquisite Sword Formation required extremely high levels of internal energy, and in our current state, forcing its use would likely result in internal injuries.
Hua Lingxing asked seriously, "How much internal energy do you have left?"
While facing the enemy, Shanzi said, "I now have about 50% left."
Xiao Lie gritted his teeth: "I still have 60% left."
Ah Fu, slightly out of breath, said, "I feel like I'm only at 40%."
Big Head also looked exhausted: "Me too, about 40% too."
Hua Lingxing frowned: "Where are the Rejuvenation Pills? Why didn't you take them?"
Xiao Lie shook his head and smiled bitterly: "We've run out of Rejuvenation Pills. There have been too many battles lately, and that's all the pills we have."
Hua Lingxing was also shocked to hear that the Rejuvenation Pill had been used up.
Unexpectedly, they had already used up all the elixirs they brought with them during the war.
"What about the Azure Sea Pill? Isn't the Azure Sea Pill supposed to quickly restore 20% of one's internal energy?"
Big Head was filled with regret: "Sister Yang, we didn't bring Bihai Dan with us when we came out."
"At that time, because the Fourth Prince suddenly attacked the Illusionary Spirit Mansion, we rushed to provide support and didn't bring it with us."
Hua Lingxing's face darkened further: "Are there no other pills left?"
Shanzi hesitated for a moment and said, "There's still one bottle of Jade Dew Pills left, but..."
Hua Lingxing interrupted him: "No buts, we can't worry about that now, take out four."
One for yourself, one for Afu, one for Datou, and one for me.
Once our internal energy has recovered somewhat, the four of us will prepare to unleash the Exquisite Sword Formation.
At this moment, Hua Lingxing suddenly unleashed a sword technique and shouted, "Break the Clouds!"
A dazzling white light shot out from her sword, instantly knocking away several Qin soldiers in front of her.
Xiao Lie cried out anxiously, "No, Sister Yang, this is too risky!"
Hua Lingxing's beautiful eyes flashed with determination as she spoke without hesitation.
"There's no time to hesitate any longer. We'll have Shi Lingxing and the others cover us in a bit."
Upon hearing this, Shi Lingxing was equally defiant, her clear and resolute voice echoing in the air.
"Don't worry! We will definitely protect you."
Jiu Lingxing, who was standing nearby, quickly chimed in, "Yes, as long as we all work together, we will definitely succeed."
Cha Lingxing gripped the longsword tightly in her hand, the hilt turning slightly white from the excessive force.
She gritted her teeth and said decisively, "That's right. You four should recover your internal energy first. It'll be up to you later."
Shanzi then retreated to their rear, and quickly reached into his robes, pulling out a small, exquisite jade bottle.
Shanzi gently lifted the bottle cap, and a rich medicinal aroma immediately wafted out.
Without hesitation, he poured out a pill, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.
At this moment, Afu, Datou, and Hualingxing also came to Shanzi's side.
He poured out three more into his hand, and Afu, Datou, and Hualingxing all reached out and took one.
Each of the three took a Jade Dew Pill to replenish their internal energy.
Hua Lingxing paused briefly, turned to look at Da Tou, and solemnly instructed him.
"Big Head, you must conserve your internal energy as much as possible later."
The key is to contain the Qin army; we must not engage them in a direct, head-on confrontation.
Big Head nodded seriously, indicating that he understood what Hua Lingxing meant.
Then he charged into the enemy ranks once again like a tiger descending a mountain, fighting bravely against the enemy.
Xiao Lie fought and retreated, gradually approaching Shanzi and the other two.
The four worked together seamlessly, understanding each other perfectly.
At this moment, the most crucial thing for them is not to charge forward recklessly and fight desperately.
Instead, we must remain calm and work together to find a way out of the predicament.
The longer they delay, the more their internal energy will recover, making their Linglong Sword Formation even more powerful later.
Meanwhile, there are four people: Poetry Spirit Star, Wine Spirit Star, Tea Spirit Star, and Big Head.
Like four impregnable barriers, they stood guard around Shanzi and his companions, engaging in fierce battles with a constant stream of enemies.
The four members of Poetry Spirit Star relied on their superb martial arts skills and tacit teamwork.
They neutralized the enemy's attacks time and time again.
Their figures darted across the battlefield like four streaks of light, both swift and agile.
