With just one strike, the lone crutch could not withstand the immense force and shattered instantly.

Seeing this, a hint of joy flashed in Du Xuan's eyes. He continued to strike the Taoist's crown with his bamboo staff without slowing down.

The Taoist's expression changed. He tried to dodge, but it was too late. He could only watch helplessly as the bamboo staff came crashing down on him.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared behind the Taoist, grabbed his collar, and pulled him backward.

Du Xuan's bamboo staff missed its mark, and he was startled. He turned around and saw another Taoist standing to the side, coldly watching him.

"court death!"

Du Xuan shouted, "Hey!" and with a flick of his bamboo staff, he struck the Taoist priest like a dragon.

This Taoist priest was none other than Qi Yuntian's uncle-master—the Washing Knife Venerable.

Seeing the bamboo staff coming at him, he hurriedly took out a long knife from his sleeve and met Du Xuan's attack.

This long sword is called the Yuanyang Divine Sword. It was a carefully crafted embryo made from extraterrestrial meteorite iron and tempered with extraterrestrial Yuanyang True Water, making it extremely sharp.

With a loud "bang," the bamboo staff and the Yuanyang Divine Blade collided violently, sparking dazzling sparks.

After a brief stalemate, the Yuan Yang Divine Blade suddenly shattered into countless fragments under the pressure.

Immediately afterwards, Du Xuan's bamboo staff slammed down, landing heavily on the shoulder of the Washing Knife Venerable.

The Master Washing Knife screamed in agony as his entire body exploded on the spot, with flesh and bones flying everywhere in a gruesome sight.

However, at that moment, a sharp sword light flew rapidly from the side, heading straight for Du Xuan.

Seeing its incredible speed, Du Xuan knew he couldn't dodge it. He quickly made a thought, and a thousand-petaled blue lotus immediately appeared beneath his feet, while a burst of clear light surged around him.

The sword light struck Qingguang hard, producing a dull thud.

This attack caused the Thousand-Leaf Blue Lotus to spin rapidly, resembling a blooming flower.

The next instant, the clear light emanating from his body began to tremble violently, as if it had been subjected to a powerful impact.

However, as Du Xuan's thoughts shifted, Qing Guang suddenly charged towards the incoming sword light, which shattered instantly and vanished into nothingness.

At the same time, Qi Yuntian and his group launched their attacks one after another.

Having witnessed the fall of two fellow disciples, they knew that Du Xuan's strength was unfathomable and dared not underestimate him in the slightest. Instead, they regarded him as their greatest enemy.

In an instant, everyone worked together, using all their skills, eager to join forces and defeat Du Xuan immediately.

However, they overlooked an important factor—the thousand-petaled blue lotus beneath Du Xuan's feet was no ordinary object, but rather a manifestation of a wisp of primordial magic power bestowed upon him by Hu Le.

Compared to the lotus he himself had conjured, the two were worlds apart.

Although Qi Yuntian and his companions used immortal techniques, they found it difficult to break through such a powerful defense in a short time.

After Qinglian neutralized all the attacks, Du Xuan changed his mind and propelled Qinglian forward, instantly appearing in front of an old Taoist priest.

With a flick of the bamboo staff, he trapped them within its shadow.

The old Taoist priest's face was solemn as he desperately tried to defend against the staff's shadow. However, his strength was clearly inferior to his opponent's, and after only a few moves, the magic weapon in his hand could not withstand the strain and broke first.

The next moment, the bamboo cane struck him heavily in the chest.

With a crisp "crack," the old Taoist's chest immediately caved in, and a profound and powerful force surged in, raging through his body like a wild horse.

The old Taoist's physical cultivation was limited, and he was powerless to resist this domineering force. He first spat out a mouthful of blood, and then his entire body instantly turned into a lump of flesh and fell straight down.

However, before that force could invade his sea of ​​consciousness, the old Taoist's primordial spirit had already flown out of his fontanelle, attempting to escape.

But how could Du Xuan let him off so easily? He pushed forward with his left hand, and a ball of lightning shot out from his palm, striking the primordial spirit with lightning accuracy.

Although the primordial spirit had cultivated to the level of pure Yang, it was still unable to resist the destructive power contained in the lightning. In the blink of an eye, it was ignited by the lightning and fire, and turned into ashes in an instant.

Another of the twelve celestial immortals of the Qingyun Sword Sect has now fallen.

"Everyone, don't hold back! Form the formation!" Qi Yuntian shouted, taking out a flag gate from his robes.

His expression was solemn, and his eyes revealed a resolute determination.

The flag gate shimmered with an eerie light, seemingly containing boundless power.

The formation he was about to set up was called the Azure Cloud Sword Formation, one of the supreme divine abilities of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect.

For millions of years, this formation has been renowned for its power. Once it is set up, sword energy will surge forth, capable of annihilating all things. Even a Golden Immortal would not fare well if he fell into it.

This sword formation possesses unparalleled power, capable of slaying powerful enemies and protecting the sect's safety.

This formation, as the Qingyun Sword Sect's trump card, is rarely used.

This technique is only used when a sect faces a life-or-death crisis.

Because each use requires a huge price, but at the same time it can also demonstrate the true strength and prestige of the sword sect.

Once unleashed, they would face formidable enemies of the sword sect, including unparalleled demons and supreme immortals.

These enemies are all extremely powerful beings, posing a great threat to the sword sect.

Therefore, every formation is a life-or-death struggle, and we must go all out.

At this moment, Qi Yuntian regarded Hu Le, the master of the Heavenly Divine Mountain, as a formidable enemy, and had specifically taken the sword formation flag before coming. He was well aware of the danger of this battle and could not hold back in the slightest.

As Qi Yuntian finished speaking, six more Taoists stepped forward.

With solemn expressions and firm steps, they walked to their designated spot. Each of them took out a flag, its surface shimmering with mysterious runes and light.

Then, they each took a position and simultaneously shook the flags in their hands slightly.

In an instant, boundless white vapor rose from the void, forming a hazy cloud.

These white wisps of smoke meandered and coiled like giant dragons, exuding mystery and majesty.

Within this cloud of mist, countless sword energies weaved through, as agile as silver snakes.

They intertwined, forming a massive sword array that exuded a chilling aura.

This sword formation is like a majestic mountain peak, indestructible.

The sword energy was sharp and powerful, enough to cut through anything.

The entire space seemed to be shrouded in a sword formation, and anyone who entered it would feel endless pressure.

In the center of the sword formation, Qi Yuntian and the others stood solemnly, completely focused on controlling the sword formation.

Their magical power flowed continuously into the flag gate, making the sword formation increasingly powerful.

"change!"

With a sharp shout from Qi Yuntian, they each waved their flags.

The spatial teleportation formed by the great formation instantly brought Du Xuan into the formation.

Before Du Xuan could regain his footing, the sword light gathered in the formation surged towards him like a tidal wave.

In just a moment, the clear light surrounding him was stripped away layer by layer.

And the petals of the Thousand-Petaled Blue Lotus beneath him began to shatter one by one...
