Zhang Xiaoshan's recent move made everyone understand what it means to sweep through the enemy ranks like rolling up a mat.

The numerous experts from the Xuanqi Sect appeared powerless before him.

Of course, there was a reason for this.

On one hand, Zhang Xiaoshan's strength was indeed overwhelmingly powerful.

On the other hand, a few of the Great Elder from the Xuanqi Sect still held back and did not unleash their full force.

"Hoo—"

The Great Elder slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

His old and murky eyes were filled with a heavy expression.

This time, there was no room left for even a sliver of luck in his heart.

Not only was the Great Elder like this, but the other experts of the Xuanqi Sect also felt the same.

"Use the Sword Array!"

After a moment of contemplation, the Great Elder solemnly ordered.

Upon hearing the Great Elder's words, the people from the Xuanqi Sect were somewhat taken aback.

The Second Elder hurriedly asked:

"Brother, do we need to use the Sword Array now?"

"Isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill?"

As soon as the Second Elder finished speaking, the other elders and experts of the Xuanqi Sect all turned their gaze towards the Great Elder.

Obviously, in their view, the Great Elder's decision this time seemed too hasty.

However, the Great Elder shook his head and said, "The Sword Array must be used!"

"Master Zhang's strength is too formidable."

"Even though we have other methods, they are unlikely to be effective."

"To suppress or defeat Master Zhang, we must use the Twenty-Eight Constellations Sword Formation."

With Sect Leader Li Chengfeng absent, the Xuanqi Sect's major and minor affairs were all decided by the Great Elder.

Now that the Great Elder had made up his mind, the others just needed to follow orders.

"Swish!"

Under the watchful eyes of many around them, the Xuanqi Sect underwent a rapid change.

Including the seven great elders of the Xuanqi Sect, twenty-eight cultivator experts quickly gathered together.

"What is this?"

Many people who came to the Xuanqi Sect seeking artifacts looked on in surprise from afar.

"I have no idea."

The surrounding onlookers were mostly bewildered, completely unaware of the Xuanqi Sect's intentions.

However, not everyone among the crowd was an ordinary person.

At this moment, a middle-aged Taoist in a robe, wearing a fish-tail crown, spoke up.

"This is the Twenty-Eight Constellations Sword Formation, one of the Xuanqi Sect's protective arts!"

"The Twenty-Eight Constellations Sword Formation requires twenty-eight experts from the Xuanqi Sect, each to control a flying sword, to form an array to kill the enemy!"

"Although Master Zhang is immensely powerful, two fists cannot defeat four hands, and a lone tiger cannot fight a pack of wolves."

"This time, he might be in real trouble."

The words of this middle-aged Taoist were quite convincing.

After he spoke, many people also felt that Zhang Xiaoshan was unlikely to fare well today.

While the surrounding crowd was busy discussing, Zhang Xiaoshan's expression remained calm.

There was even a slightly peculiar smile on his face.

Using a flying sword array against him was not only a waste of effort but also somewhat foolish.

As long as he summoned the Sword Nourishing Gourd, the Xuanqi Sect's Twenty-Eight Constellations Sword Formation would serve to adorn him instead.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan did not immediately intend to summon the Sword Nourishing Gourd; he also wanted to see what the Twenty-Eight Constellations Sword Formation was capable of.

Initially, the Great Elder and everyone were extremely wary of Zhang Xiaoshan.

But seeing that Zhang Xiaoshan didn't hinder them from setting up the Sword Array, the Great Elder and his group relaxed.

At the moment the Sword Array was complete, the Great Elder coldly spoke.

"Master Zhang, this is your last chance."

"If you leave the Xuanqi Sect now, we can spare your life!"

"Otherwise, you will likely die today by a rain of arrows piercing your heart."

The reason the Great Elder was willing to let Zhang Xiaoshan leave was not out of benevolence.

Through previous encounters, he understood Zhang Xiaoshan's might.

The Xuanqi Sect's Twenty-Eight Constellations Formation requires twenty-eight experts to nurture their swords for twenty to thirty years to set up.

Soon Zhang Xiaoshan and they would be at war; if Zhang Xiaoshan fought desperately and killed several Xuanqi Sect experts.

Even if they managed to defeat Zhang Xiaoshan, it would be a significant loss for the Xuanqi Sect.

Unexpectedly, after the Great Elder spoke, Zhang Xiaoshan calmly replied.

"A mere Sword Array, what can it do to me?"

His words, of course, were extremely arrogant.

Many onlookers quietly shook their heads.

"Master Zhang is probably underestimating the enemy this time."

"The Xuanqi Sect's Twenty-Eight Constellations Formation is one of the foundations of the Xuanqi Sect."

"Such a method is not easy to deal with?"

The thoughts of the crowd were roughly the same at this point.

Everyone believed that if Zhang Xiaoshan underestimated the enemy too much, he would surely suffer this time.

On the Xuanqi Sect's side, Second Elder Han Feng heard Zhang Xiaoshan's words and felt unperturbed.

Soon, he sneered and spoke.

"Everyone, did you hear?"

"He dares to underestimate our Twenty-Eight Constellations Formation!"

"Since that's the case, why be polite to him?"

"Attack!"

As Second Elder Han Feng finished speaking, the twenty-eight experts from the Xuanqi Sect began wielding flying swords to form the Sword Array.

With the Twenty-Eight Constellations Sword Formation, they closed in on Zhang Xiaoshan!
