"Evil Fire, have you found the location of the array's core?"
"I don't know..."
The evil fire shook its head. It had finally gotten its chance to shine, only to find that even it didn't know the key to the sword formation.
Ji Jiuying frowned. What happened to being all-knowing?
It seems she has to rely on herself. If she can't find the array's core sooner or later, her spiritual power will be completely depleted.
The swords around her kept clashing with the darkness. A deep, resonant impact caught her attention. Ji Jiuying narrowed her eyes and noticed that some of the swords made different sounds each time they clashed with hers. The sounds were deep and realistic.
Could it be that all the swords in this sword formation are fake, and only the sword at the center of the formation is real?
As soon as the idea came to mind, a second problem arose: all the swords in the sword formation looked the same, and there must have been at least eight thousand, if not tens of thousands. How was she supposed to tell which one was real and which one was fake?
"Could you help me examine these swords and see if there are any differences? I suspect that only three or five of these swords are real, and the rest are fake."
Ji Jiuying's voice came, and everyone in the space focused their attention on the swords.
After a while, Dongfang Yao indeed discovered some clues.
“Little girl, there are so many swords in the sword formation, but there seem to be only a few shadows on the ground.”
Dongfang Yao's voice came, and Ji Jiuying glanced at the ground out of the corner of her eye. It seemed that it was true. It seemed that her guess was correct. The light in this tomb was dim, and it was easy to ignore the shadows on the ground.
Ji Jiuying took out a luminous pearl from her spatial storage and used her spiritual power to suspend it in mid-air. With the luminous pearl illuminating it, the sword shadows on the ground became more obvious.
Gazing at the shadow on the ground, the darkness in his hand struck the flying sword without hesitation, shattering it. A second, a third…
Snap!
The luminous pearl in mid-air was unfortunately struck by the flying sword and shattered on the ground. Ji Jiuying remained unfazed. She had plenty of luminous pearls. Another luminous pearl appeared in her hand and flew into the air.
The fourth and fifth swords were knocked down, leaving only one sword. With a snap, the luminous pearl was shattered again, but Ji Jiuying already knew the location of the sixth sword. She swung her sword and struck hard to the right. With a bang, the front parts of the swords from all directions disappeared, and the tomb returned to its previous calm. Even the formations from before were gone.
Ji Jiuying's breathing was a little rapid, and the fine sweat on her face clung to her hair, making her look somewhat disheveled.
Before she could react, a person who looked exactly like her appeared before her—not the disguised version of herself, but her true form, with the blood lotus on her forehead and the black night weapon in her hand…
