The battle situation before or after this would no longer matter after this strike!
Currently, although the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer's Seven Stars formation had the upper hand, it did not equate to victory, let alone absolute victory! And what Jun Mo Xie wanted was complete victory, not a tragic victory! But right now, it was the battle between the second level Saints, and both sides had extremely tenacious life force!
Even the side in the adverse situation would be able to go all out and deal enough damage to the enemy if they were determined to!
The reason why Jun Mo Xie was able to kill a Saint in a single strike was because it was an ambush attack, catching the Saint off guard. Second, it was because his prowess had surpassed Xia Dong Ting when he did it, so he could use a Xuan Qi that was way more powerful to completely destroy Xia Dong Ting's meridians, resulting in him completely losing the last chance to even struggle!
Otherwise, with Xia Dong Ting's power and regenerative abilities of a third level Saint, he definitely would not die without being noticed!
A Saint whose heart was shattered was able to use his Xuan Qi to forcefully seal up the circulation of blood in his body and maintain this state for at least a day if he was not dissected on the spot! At the very least... he wouldn't have to throw his life away instantly...
But right now, the seven members from the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer team were facing this sort of dangerous situation. Facing the seven opponents who had strong brotherly bonds, if they were all going to gamble their lives in a battle to death, they were completely capable of bringing the Seven Stars Battle Formation along with them to the nether world!
So Jun Mo Xie's arrangement right from the beginning was this: breaking a single finger was more effective as opposed to injuring all ten fingers!
So they absolutely did not initiate attack the moment they went into the arena, remaining in the strictest defensive mode to strike back. Slowly controlling the situation, accumulating their advantages, then slowly converting it to an absolute chance for victory. Then all seven people would suddenly strike, with all the injuries sustained, at a single person! To completely chop the person up and kill them thoroughly in a single strike!
Only by killing one person, breaking the Seven Demon Formation formed by seven people joining forces, would it cause the enemy's attacks to be unable to achieve its strongest state. Even if the other party went on a rampage again and set off a series of revenge attacks for the death of their brother, as long as they return back to their strict defensive state, there would be no danger until the other party's strength began to deteriorate. Then, they could begin their counterattack...
Of course, the most ideal situation would be that the other six, due to their close brotherhood, would be hurt and unable to fight due to the grief from losing a brother. Then, they could just take the opportunity to press their attacks and kill all of the remaining six!
The two circumstances had great variabilities, but there was only one outcome: all the enemies must be killed, while they cannot lose a single man!
And the current situation was moving towards the direction of what Jun Mo Xie had expected...
The sword light rained down like a storm. The people in the Seven Demon Formation were still calm and steady. Although they had been the ones initiating the attack since the beginning of the battle, using up a considerable amount of strength, they were still ultimately calm and unhurried.
The opponent's capabilities had indeed surpassed their expectations, but in the hundreds years of their lives spent battling, this sort of deadlock was no stranger to them. As long as their side was the one in an offensive position, then there was no problem!
The longer you defend, the more certain it was that you would lose. Those in the higher realms of martial arts knew this logic. The seven of them had considerable stamina for drawn out battles. It was not like no one had attempted to bring them down using a war of attrition, but ultimately, they themselves were the ones who got exhausted first. And looking at the seven of them on the other team, their cultivation and strength were inferior to them. How could they be an exception?!
The blade lights flashed in close succession, forming a screen that was impenetrable. The seven black figures began to gain speed, the changes in their positions were getting more and more frequent... When one person leapt up, before he could get into his designated position, the other six had already followed suit and switched their positions midair, but the flashes of their sabers remained like a screen, with absolutely no delay in their movements...
The vast and open sky was enveloped by a white light. The black figures could no longer be seen! Only a single silver-white flash was spinning in the air!
In rapid rotations, borrowing the strength of the Seven Stars Big Dipper Array, they had successfully borrowed the strength of the skies and the stars, transforming into a mystical white light...
Everyone watching cried out in surprise...
The enchanting lights suddenly expanded and exploded in dazzling, mesmerizing colorful lights! The light right now was like the bright sun in the sky, its brilliance impossible to look at!
"Despicable!" A voice hollered from within the formation. Suddenly, a burst of sounds of metal clanging against metal could be heard!
The seven people in the Seven Demon Formation had already put on their highest guard and alert the moment they saw this peculiar scene happening! But what they never expected was the enemy to suddenly come stabbing at them with their sabers in such tight succession!
Right now, the sabers in their hands were stabbing straight forward like a long sword!
This was undoubtedly a peculiar move. And there was still a distance of about a zhang between the two parties... Could it be that they were planning to come charging over? The moment this thought surfaced in their head, the Seven Demon Formation simultaneously made preparations to meet with the enemy's blades.
Yet at this time, the most unbelievable, and also possibly the most despicable, strike suddenly appeared. The sabers in the hands of those seven burly men suddenly shot a beam of blade light and flew towards the seven people like a meteor, separating from its handle!
sheath within sheath, blade within blade, the God and ghosts wail miserably without a choice; since ancient times, those with great ambitions must be ruthless and vicious, never conceding until all enemies are beheaded!
This was that unexpected blade that Gods and ghosts didn't see coming!
The seven people instantly used their sword to block the blow, but the brute strength from the enemy was really too much, and they gritted their teeth tightly. Just at this moment, the Seven Seven sabers gathered and suddenly headed toward the person in the center of the Seven Demon Formation, striking down at the same time!
The blade light at this instant was unusually bright, even brighter than the brilliance earlier! Those who were more sharp-eyed would instantly notice that there was something off about those seven sabers that had just left their sheath!
Yes, there was something off, and it was not minor!
This was the real trump card!
A blade within blade, it was a divine weapon that had never shown its face! Divine weapons like this were not only the 'merely' three that Qu Wu Hui mentioned earlier. Instead... there was one in the hands of each of these three hundred people!
The determining point of this battle was on this saber!
The Seven Demon Formation had made three fatal errors. First, they did not expect that the saber that had left its sheath had a second sheath! Second, they did not expect the opponent's saber to be a divine weapon! Third, they did not expect the enemy to aggressively attack the core of the Seven Demon Formation!
Regardless of attacking the head or the tail of the formation, it was definitely better than dealing with the core. So they had always been taking note of the enemy's defensive counterattacks, guarding the head and the tail. But right now, they realized that they had made a complete mistake!
The blade light flashed and blazed brilliantly, like a demon from hell, opening its mouth and revealing its malevolent teeth!
The eldest and core of the Seven Demon Formation used all his strength to avoid the sheath that had just shot forward. A loud clang, the first saber came down heavily on his sword at lightning speed.
This strike from the opponent was a blow that had accumulated strength for a long time, a single strike that had no reservations and was out for blood!
While he was facing it head on, hastily!
The sword in his hand was also a rare weapon, but it was still a tier lower compared to the divine weapons created by Jun Mo Xie! The moment the Xuan Qi clashed and the brilliance of the saber and the sword met, the long sword was broken!
The saber came striking down with nothing holding it back!
Blood splattered everywhere!
This saber had chopped right into the shoulder of the eldest of the Seven Demons. The intensity of it was so strong that it had cut down to his chest! At the same time, he was completely forced down onto his knee!
He howled, striking with his palm against the chest of the man in black. Under the attack of his powerful Xuan Qi, this person groaned and backed away, pulling his saber out from his shoulder. Blood spurted out from both their mouths.
But there was no difference in what followed quickly. The second saber came cutting down on his left shoulder, instantly slicing through the bone of his shoulder blade all the way down to his chest! The leader of the Seven Demons howled in agony, kicking this person in the abdomen, sending him flying away along with his saber! Along with his own fresh blood...
At the same time, his Xuan Qi circulated manically, and his left shoulder that was about to fly off his body instantly started to fuse back... But a look of utter despair was on his face...
Because the third and fourth saber came down at the same time, right on the same spot as where the second saber had cut!
The left half of his body that had barely managed to fuse back finally flew out!
This was not the end of it; the fifth and sixth sabers also came down like lightning, but right at the wound from the first saber! Right now, he had no strength to fight back. He howled manically in pain at the sky, looking at his own right half of the body fly away along with his shoulder and arm! And his right hand was still tightly gripping his sword!
He looked at his sword with an expression of reluctance to part with it...
His innards could clearly be seen from both sides of his body!
Drenched in piping hot blood!
But both his legs were still intact! He knew that there was no chance of survival for him, but he was the eldest, so he had the responsibility of a eldest. He was clear that if he died on the spot, what sort of blow it would be to his brothers, so even if he must die, he had to hold on to one final breath!
At least, he had to say one sentence! It might help the rest of the six brothers stay alive!
But it was a pity that the heavens never followed the wishes of humans. He lost this opportunity forever!
The seventh person and the seventh saber arrived! Piercing straight through the exposed right side of his body all the way to the left! Skewering all his innards and dantian into a single mess!
