When Wang Qi executed this Sword Net, his body and mind once again entered into a certain mystical realm.
The Sword Net, woven with heavy Sword Qi, enveloped the Wanfa Sect members, including two Foundation Establishment True Inheritors and several observing Divine Capital Cultivators within its attack range. Wang Qi's eyes held a hint of curiosity; this move was a new creation of his, and it was the first time he used it against opponents of such low prowess—he himself was unsure of the outcome.
The first to react was the guard beside the seventh prince. Although their cultivation was meager, they had undergone bloody battles under the Imperial Family's command time and time again, and fighting had long since become instinctive. They quickly drew their swords, their sword intents aggressive, imposing, and fierce, already showing signs of countering Wang Qi's Sword Momentum.
However, their strength ultimately did not manifest.
A butterfly hovered in front of them. Mechanical wings flapped, emitting a strength they perceived as "Mystical" and incomprehensible, which blocked the sword intent and also Wang Qi's Sword Momentum.
Wang Qi, who had also practiced the Mysterious Palace's mental method, perceived the butterfly more clearly. He "saw" six steel butterflies blocking his path, flapping their wings and dispersing a unique strength, neither matter nor wave, made up of Spiritual Power that protected Ran Yingwei and blocked Wang Qi's Sword Momentum.
Suo Wenhong's counterattack was not as graceful and magnificent. A stream of light burst from his palm, shooting straight towards the Sword Net, like a Jiao Dragon aiming to smash through the Heavenly Vault. But after clashing three times with the Sword Net, Suo Wenhong's face changed—the Sword Net could not be torn!
Trapped like a Jiao Dragon in a spider's web, Suo Wenhong's River Light surged left and right within Wang Qi's Sword Net, only to feel increasing resistance. With mere simple changes in his Sword Momentum, Wang Qi transmitted Suo Wenhong's force layer by layer and ultimately absorbed it!
After clashing swords with Wang Qi six times, the other six Wanfa Sect disciples barely managed to draw their swords, each silver flash striking fiercely, aiming to lock down every possible move of Wang Qi.
Eight swords clashed a hundred times within a single second; Wang Qi's Sword Net was briefly stalled, and he was flung backward. Gong Shu sneered coldly, already thrusting out his long sword. Wang Qi performed a limit backbend in mid-air to dodge this attack, simultaneously pressing his sword against the spine of Gong Shu's sword, expelling force to prevent the blade from retracting and directing it towards Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin hastily raised his sword to block the strike, while another Wanfa Sect disciple simultaneously lifted his sword aimed at Wang Qi. However, Wang Qi quickly withdrew his long sword to defend himself. Regardless of the Wanfa Sect members' reluctance, a three-on-one situation had taken shape.
Surprisingly, Suo Wenhong did not call back his three junior disciples. He had clearly seen that Wang Qi's Sword Net, even after encountering the block from a Mysterious Palace disciple and the counterattacks of seven Wanfa Sect disciples, had not shown the slightest bit of disharmony; it was purely pushed back by a stronger force!
What a terrifying sword! Where had he learned this sword move?
Facing the encirclement of three Wanfa Sect disciples, Wang Qi was not the slightest bit nervous; instead, he was savoring the sword move he had just executed.
The flawless Sword Net, deriving from the consistency of the arithmetic system, was fundamentally a compatible entity. This was the second Sword Move he had created—and it was created alongside Feng Luoyi. Even Feng Luoyi, with her frighteningly high level of Mathematic prowess and Carefree Level insight, would not be able to break this Sword Net under equal strength conditions!
The three adversaries felt indignant, a tacit understanding forming among them. The next second, three swords simultaneously aimed for three critical points on Wang Qi. However, Wang Qi instantly identified the flaws in this move, his body slanting diagonally as he wedged himself between Jiang Lin and Gong Shu, misdirecting another's sword momentum with a flick. Gong and Jiang's swords missed their mark, and they quickly withdrew their blades to defend, both swords chopping towards Wang Qi—one from above and the other from below. Wang Qi, with his sword held behind his back and without even looking, blocked these two strikes, using the force of the collision to charge towards the remaining four Wanfa Sect members, reapplying his old move, once again executing the "No Mistake Sword Net."
Suo Wenhong was careful not to underestimate his opponent this time. His long sword surged up like a reverse strike of lightning, colliding fiercely with Wang Qi's long sword. Wang Qi's momentum was halted, and he was pushed back into the triple sword array by sheer brute force. However, the No Mistake Blade Net was incredibly fast, and before a sword array could form, they faced an onslaught of sword qi, like a cold wind in December sweeping toward the others. Two disciples instinctively raised their swords to counterattack and joined the fray. Another hesitated for a moment, also wanting to rush forward. Suo Wenhong stopped the latter, shouting, "Bai Zonghu, stop!"
Bai Zonghu furiously said, "This boy is extremely arrogant, thinking our clan has no worthy members. But his swordsmanship is truly formidable; we cannot win without combining our strength. Today, I don't care about my reputation; I must suppress him to let him know our clan's path, our clan's law!"
His words resonated powerfully, and Suo Wenhong had no choice but to let him go.
Behind them, Prince Wen Huang and Elder Xiao secretly communicated. "Elder Xiao, what do you think of these?"
Elder Xiao's voice still carried an unmistakable shock, "I don't understand... I don't understand... Modern Heretics have indeed made a breakthrough in technique."
Prince Wen Huang almost exclaimed, "But are you saying... you actually can't understand the swordsmanship of someone in the Qi Cultivation Stage?"
Elder Xiao's thoughts were tinged with a bit of embarrassment, but soon replaced by a powerful confidence, "Swordsmanship is nothing more than clever tricks. My mana is hundreds to thousands of times more than his; I can easily crush his tricks with brute force."
"But you should know, Modern Heretics have given up the chance of Immortal Ascension for quick gains in cultivation. In ten years, it might be him flattening you with brute force!"
"Enough!"
Within moments, the situation in the arena changed again. Six long swords always pointed at Wang Qi, and amid the scattering light and shadows, Wang Qi moved lightly on his feet like a butterfly, like dancing, effortlessly navigating through the stormy, frenzied sword momentum.
The six Wanfa Sect disciples, facing him, had faces flushed red, their sword moves even faster and fiercer. The Wanfa Sect's Combined Attack Skill stemmed from Topology, and these six disciples entered the sect in the same year, shared similar interests and were close-knit, which should have made their combined effort more seamless and superior to fighting individually. However, this time they felt for the first time that their moves were incompatible. Wang Qi rarely countered, but whenever he did, he targeted the flaws in the sword array; wherever he moved, there was always a gap in their sword momentum. The six found themselves increasingly bound and unable to continue.
"Not good. The Wanfa Sect's Combined Attack Skill is derived from Topology, and he is well-versed in this area... Fighting one or six actually makes little difference to him... no, fighting six enables him to leverage their force and make them even more restrained!"
Realizing this, Suo Wenhong shouted, "You six, quickly disperse!"
The six responded and attempted to reorganize, but at that moment, Wang Qi suddenly let out a long howl, and then within the sword array, a flash of silver light appeared!
