“Catoptric Deflection?”

Chen Xi was somewhat surprised.

“This array formation has nothing to do with the innkeeper. That means—”

This meant that the person who set up this array formation was the boy from the Ninth Summit.

Because these two were the only ones who knew how to use Catoptric Deflection.

“Jiang Lan is a bit unexpected.” Liu Jing was also a bit surprised.

Being able to master Catoptric Deflection was one thing, but to be able to combine Catoptric Deflection with an array formation was the more impressive feat.

Furthermore, it was under the circumstances of concealing the heavenly secrets.

Miao Yue squinted at the figure in the mountain peak. She was somewhat surprised.

Initially, she thought that Jiang Lan was a rather conservative person. At this moment, he would choose to use Catoptric Deflection to stall for time.

He would focus on defending against the enemy.

But she was wrong. Jiang Lan had no intention of defending. He chose to attack.

“He wants me to attack?” Jiu Zhongtian looked at himself in the scene and was a little surprised.

The appearance of this figure clearly startled the prying eyes.

Furthermore, it seemed like the figure wanted to attack before he could react.

At this moment.

The sword was unsheathed.

Sword beams streaked across the sky as sword intent penetrated the world.

In the scene, a long sword was held in Jiu Zhongtian’s hand. The world was filled with his sword intent.

The killing intent continued to spread.

The sword lifted.

At this moment, the entire scene was occupied by this sword.

His sword then fell.

It was as if this sword could break through everything and pierce through the endless distance killing all enemies.

Boom!

The sword slashed at the vortexes.

Slosh.

Space was sliced open.

Dead silence began to spread.

Just as the sword was about to strike the vortexes, the vortexes stopped spinning and retreated.

The four vortexes retreated at almost the same time.

Woosh!

The sword light slashed.

It was as if nothing had happened.

But…

The four vortexes had retreated.

Everyone was stunned.

Lin Siya and the rest could not understand what had happened.

Lu Zhou looked at his master, who was waving his sword, and a smile appeared on his face.

Crazy. This was crazy.

He actually scared the other party into retreating.

He did not waste anything.

A single sword strike had scared the four factions away.

More importantly, this sword was not wielded by his master.

Even if his master had acted, it would not have such an effect, right?

At most, one side would be forced to retreat.

If his master attacked, he would need four strikes.

This was too amazing.

Who left this behind?

“This is unexpected.” Bei Fang was also surprised.

“This is a formation that belongs to the Jade Pool, right?” Hong Luan was also shocked.

“Other than Senior Sister Ao, only Junior Brother Jiang can go up to the Jade Pool. Then…” Lin Siya suddenly felt that she had underestimated Junior Brother Jiang.

“Array formation geniuses indeed have impressive thoughts. Speaking of which, do you all still remember the words left behind on the array formation mountain at the Fifth Summit?” Lin An suddenly asked.

“Heaven rewards the diligent?”

At this moment, they suddenly felt that they might know who left these words behind.

Heaven rewards the diligent.

This matched with what their Junior Brother of the Ninth Summit would say.

He, who was not particularly talented, had always been considered a genius.

Even if one had sufficient resources, one would also need to work tirelessly.

…

“This sword…

How impressive.”

Jiu Zhongtian looked at the scene made by Jiang Lan’s Catoptric Deflection and felt a little emotional.

That sword occupied the entire world. There was no aura of Dao, and there was only sword intent.

It was truly impressive. It was as if it was completely real.

“Out of my expectations, I didn’t expect things to develop in this direction.” Liu Jing looked in Jiang Lan’s direction and said.

“Did he really finish it all by himself?”

“Even if the others want to participate, they cannot go to the Jade Pool.” Miao Yue said.

“Did he prepare beforehand? Or did someone tell him about the situation?” Liu Jing asked.

They appeared here today because they knew something would happen.

However, they did not expect that even though a problem had indeed surfaced.

It was easily resolved by someone else.

Furthermore, the person did not use any extra strength or affect anything.

Naturally, their actions would also not have any impact.

But…

There was no way they could have done so so easily.

It was as if the four summit leaders were standing before each other and attacking at the same time.

“We understand the importance of the Jade Pool Goddess to Kunlun. The outsiders understand as well.

As her fiancé, Jiang Lan naturally understands this too.

He had set up so many array formations on the Ninth Summit.

He would naturally make sufficient preparations for the Goddess’ tribulation.

And the danger that came from the outside world was nothing more than them prying into the heavenly secrets in Kunlun.

Anymore and he would be unable to handle it.

I knew that he had set up an array formation, but I was still surprised.

He actually scared them away.” Miao Yue’s words were full of praise.

“He’s a bit different from what I know from before. I originally thought that he was someone who would only focus on closed-door cultivation and not understand any other things.” Zhuqing was somewhat surprised.

That was good too.

“Hehe.” Miao Yue laughed.

“Like I said, he has hidden a lot of things. Whoever that is in the same realm that looks down on him will have to pay the price.

This time, because the person transcending the tribulation is his fiancée, he had used all his strength in setting up the array formation. But his abilities in other aspects…”

Miao Yue did not speak further.

No one knew what other talents Jiang Lan had.

For example, when it came to the way of the sword, it was not something that someone who did not know anything could imitate.

In short, they should not underestimate him.

Boom!

At this time, the Dragon Soaring Art had already shattered, and the Hundred Protection Shield inside had also shattered.

“This is the eighth strike and there are no problems at the moment.” Zhu Qing looked back at the heavenly tribulation.

The tribulation was about to end.

And the surroundings seemed to be peaceful.

However, if there was any more disturbance, they would directly take action.

Even at the last moment, nothing could be allowed to happen.

Boom!

As the eighth heavenly tribulation descended, Ao Longyu transformed into a half-dragon, the shadow of a dragon looming around her.

Boom!

When the heavenly tribulation landed on her body, it was directly neutralized by the dragon shadow beside her.

However, there were still some injuries on her body.

In such a state, she was almost still at her peak. There would be no problem for her in dealing with the last strike from the Heavenly Tribulation.

When Jiang Lan saw this, he didn’t relax, instead continuing to watch.

He looked at the Heavenly Tribulation and his surroundings.

To prevent accidents from happening.

Boom!

The last tribulation cloud appeared.

Ao Longyu’s power also condensed as a dragon’s roar sounded.

She charged upward.

Boom!

The two forces collided.

The power dissipated.

Ao Longyu slowly returned to the Jade Pool. There were some injuries on her body, but she was fine.

At this point, Jiang Lan finally heaved a sigh of relief.

The tribulation clouds in the sky began to disappear, and the mist around the Jade Pool also appeared.

In a few breaths’ time, the Jade Pool disappeared into the fog.

No one could pry into it anymore. Neither could anyone enter it anymore.

Only then did Jiang Lan depart on his sword.

The Eighth Prince followed beside him.

“Brother-in-law, that strike just now was truly brilliant.” The Eighth Prince praised sincerely.

It really toppled his understanding.

The move which made the four factions retreat was beyond his expectations.

It was actually so easy to defeat the enemy.

Jiang Lan nodded slightly without saying anything.

That was just a temporary measure.

Kunlun itself was in fact the main reason why they were scared away.

The most important thing for him was to continue becoming stronger.

After a period of seclusion, he should be able to advance to the mid-stage Heaven Immortal Realm.
