Upon seeing this scene, Long Xuan's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Just moments ago, this individual had appeared in an imposing manner, exuding overwhelming dominance, holding a famous blade, full of an aura of power and control.
Long Xuan had thought this person was a master, highly skilled in swordsmanship. He was genuinely worried for the Blade Gu, thinking that facing this person might bring real danger.
But the result?
They were taken down in a single strike—what a joke!
However, what Long Xuan didn’t know was that someone wielding a named blade, yet not being robbed of it, was no ordinary person.
But the Blade Gu had just tested the full power of the Ten Absolute Sword Technique, releasing all ten forms at once. How could any normal person withstand that?
It seems this so-called Blade master died rather unjustly.
At that moment, the ten people who had fled earlier looked back and saw the scene, their faces instantly darkening.
They had thought he was a great master, but the result? Just this? Are you kidding me? If you don’t have the skills, why act so arrogantly? Now we're in big trouble.
“What do we do now? He got taken down in one strike. That mantis is now unchecked.”
“How should I know what to do? Whoever wants to fight that monster can go ahead, but I’m not fighting it. That ten-blade-style monster isn’t something a human can contend with.”
“Run! It’s coming this way!”
After finishing off this opponent, the Blade Gu charged into the crowd again. With each swing of its blade, more bodies fell to the ground.
No matter what weapons the body cultivators were using, under the Blade Gu's Ten Absolute Sword Technique, everything was shattered in one strike. Incredibly, no body cultivator on the battlefield could take even a single hit from it.
With no one to restrain the Blade Gu, it tore through the crowd as if no one was there, cutting down enemies in and out seven times over. The once formidable group of body cultivators began to crumble in small pockets, all because of a single mantis.
Seeing the Blade Gu's battle prowess with his own eyes, Long Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
From this battle, he could conclude that Little moon was a perfect counter to body Refiners armed with all kinds of weapons. Anyone who faced it was sure to die.
It seemed that only supernatural abilities, those that weren’t based on physical attacks, could harm it.
In a battlefield filled with body cultivators, Little moon was an invincible war god, undefeatable.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield of the Spiritual Sea Stage Gu cultivators, the two supervisors each engaged two Spiritual Sea Stage Gu cultivators, while Long Gang headed straight for the elderly formation master at the back of the enemy crowd.
Seeing someone charge toward him, the elderly formation master looked on with disdain. Calmly, he took out four formation flags from his storage bag and planted them in the ground.
In no time, four barriers rose up, securely protecting him within.
After completing this, he looked at the approaching enemy with a mocking smile. However, when he saw a humanoid creature with bone spikes and a tail appear before him, his expression froze in shock.
“What is that thing?”
Just as his words fell, the creature’s sharp claws shattered the barrier he had just set up.
The claws didn’t stop there; with a single swipe, it crushed his skull.
He had been careless, distracted for a moment, and didn’t have time to dodge.
Moreover, he had trapped himself within his own barrier. Where could he have escaped to?
After dispatching the formation master in one strike, Long Gang was slightly stunned. It was that easy? The mission was so simple that he found it hard to believe.
Long Dan took a deep breath, remaining silent for a long time. His gaze grew serious as he said, “The only way to counter it that I can see is: don't engage it in blade combat. Don’t challenge it in any kind of weapon-based duel. Otherwise, you’re as good as dead.”
“If he really did invent this blade technique, then he’s truly a once-in-a-generation genius!”
Long Ruoxue gave him a sidelong glance. She had asked how to counter the technique, and though he answered, it felt like he hadn’t said anything at all.
...
In the following days, the body refiners outside the formation remained persistent, launching continual assaults on the Geng Metal ore vein, even attacking day and night without rest.
Though the formation master had died, the formation could still be broken by brute force. Unfortunately, the body cultivators outside were unusually strong, wielding massive hammers and relentlessly pounding the barrier, causing it to flash with intense light.
It wasn't just a matter of whether the barrier could withstand the constant attacks of the body cultivators. Even if it could, the cost of the spirit stones consumed by the formation each day was astronomical.
Thus, whenever the barrier was on the verge of being shattered by the body cultivators, Long Gang had no choice but to organize a team to rush out of the formation and prioritize killing the hammer-wielding body cultivators. Once the barrier was repaired, they would retreat again.
However, while the barrier was being restored, Long Clan Gu cultivators were left dead on the battlefield outside every time. If this kept up, their manpower would gradually dwindle, and it would only be a matter of time before the Geng Metal ore vein was lost.
The faces of all the Long Clan Gu cultivators within the formation darkened with worry. They now regretted killing all the Bai Clan Gu cultivators here.
If they had left a large number of Bai Clan Gu cultivators to share the burden, this battle would have been much easier.
Meanwhile, the relentless battles had allowed the Ten-Armed Blade Gu to establish a fearsome reputation.
In every skirmish, the Ten-Armed Blade Gu slaughtered enemies indiscriminately, striking fear into the body refining cultivators outside. Just the mention of it caused them to pale.
The Ten-Armed Blade Gu had become infamous among the enemy forces. In every battle, dealing with this Ten-Armed Blade Gu became their most difficult challenge.
So many famous experts had already fallen to its ten blades in an attempt to subdue it.
This was largely because the attackers were almost all body cultivators, and those who specialized in using metal-based tools needed Geng Metal the most. That’s why almost all the attackers were body cultivators, and they were no match for the Ten-Armed Blade Gu.
Had the attackers been Gu cultivators instead, the Ten-Armed Blade Gu wouldn’t have been able to kill so easily.
As its owner, Long Xuan had mostly stayed out of the action. His main body remained inside the wooden house cultivating, while he sent out his clone to participate in battles.
Although he was confident in his invincibility among his peers, he still feared that some unscrupulous Spiritual Sea stage Gu cultivator might suddenly sneak attack him without honor.
Who could guarantee such a thing wouldn’t happen? So, being cautious by nature, he chose to avoid battles and hide in the wooden house, shamelessly becoming a deserter.
But this day, the peace inside the wooden house was suddenly broken as the door was kicked open.
“Long Xuan, quickly use the Sou Gu House to escape! We can’t hold this place any longer!”
Long Ruoxue shouted this into the house before anxiously running off.
“What?” Long Xuan was shocked and hurriedly stood up.
They couldn’t hold the Geng Metal ore vein? What had happened? How could it have fallen so suddenly?
Wait a minute! How did Long Ruoxue know his main body was here? Did that mean she knew he had been hiding like a deserter all this time?
How embarrassing...
