Chapter 288 (2/2)

Even Rota and the others could sense that the Aquatic Sword Qis were being moved at high speed. Together with the powerful slashing prowess they held, even if they encountered rocks and sediments, they would slash through them. The sword Qis were extremely sharp and were like high speed water blades.

Wherever the Aquatic Sword Qis passed by, the area would be covered with a strong drying sensation. It was because the Aquatic Sword Qis absorb water vapor incessantly in order to replenish the energy depleted by the slashing.

The moment this Aquatic Sword Formation took shape, all twelve sword Qis, including the one in Fang Xingjian’s hand, constantly absorbed the world’s water vapor. They also complemented each other, maintaining a connection at all times and facilitating their energy depletion and replenishment.

Additionally, the formed Aquatic Sword Qis circled around Fang Xingjian as though they were controlled by Fang Xingjian’s hands, hitting wherever Fang Xingjian pointed to.

As the sword Qis moved about freely, a loud whistle rang out in the air, and more and more water vapor continued to gather in Fang Xingjian’s direction. Many more sword Qis were formed in succession, and the large amount of water vapor gathered there made it seem as though a heavy rain was falling down onto the Heavenly Waterfall Lake.

As the large amount of water vapor gathered together, it turned into water droplets, which then eventually surged into Fang Xingjian’s palm, allowing him to create one Aquatic Sword Qi after another.

At level 1, the Aquatic Sword Formation could create 12 Aquatic Sword Qis. It would continue to progress, and at level 5, the user would be able to create 121 Aquatic Sword Qis. Then at level 10, the user would be able to create 277 Aquatic Sword Qis.

Currently, Fang Xingjian had already gathered 49 Aquatic Sword Qis. At level 4, the Aquatic Sword Formation could already allow him better control over the Aquatic Sword Qis.

The sword Qi in his hand swept forward, while the remaining 48 Aquatic Sword Qis were sent out in all directions like exploding fireworks, gradually filling up the area within a 100-meter radius around Fang Xingjian.

Fang Xingjian nodded and said, “I’ve finally made some progress.” He then turned to ‘look’ at Ada, saying, “I’d like to have your guidance in the Aquatic Sword Formation.”

Ada was standing in the middle of the Heavenly Waterfall Lake. Although the Heavenly Waterfall was plunging down, they seemed to be torn apart by formless sharp blade above her head. The waterfall split into two, unable touch her at all.

Hearing Fang Xingjian’s words, Ada smiled and said coldly, “You want me to give you guidance when your Aquatic Sword Formation is only at level 4? You should talk after you’ve entered the Heavenly Waterfall Lake.”

Fang Xingjian smiled faintly and walked over, step by step, in the direction of the Heavenly Waterfall Lake. The other 48 streams of Aquatic Sword Qis around him were like floating batteries circling around him. At a glance, they looked just like countless satellites.

The circulation of this sword formation could serve the purposes of both attack and defense, allowing the user to attack or defend from any direction.

As Fang Xingjian walked slowly into the Heavenly Waterfall Lake, gradually submerging his entire body into the water, the Aquatic Sword Qis also entered the lake. The Aquatic Sword Qis were originally formed from water vapor. So, now that they had entered the lake, they were like fish in water, with an increased agility of over ten times.

However, simultaneously, Fang Xingjian also sensed that the undercurrents and waves in the lake were like aquatic shock waves knocking against his body.

The power of the water was very strong. The undercurrents in the sea could knock a person unconscious and pull them into the depths of the water, or kill them directly from the impact.

The power of a tsunami could drown a city entirely, killing several ten of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.

This Heavenly Waterfall Lake had been created by the second generation Headmaster, and the various undercurrents and waves in the lake would circulate based on the ingenuity of the Aquatic Sword Formation. The omnipresent impacts were like boundless sword waves, smacking Fang Xingjian.

Looking at how Fang Xingjian was thrown around by the currents, the corners of Ada’s lips curled up as she broke into a smile which was full of contempt.

However, while Fang Xingjian was being hit by the waves, he continued to sense the circulations of the Aquatic Sword Formation in the water. He had intentionally allowed himself to be hit since he had the level 29 Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor. His aim was to allow his body to directly appreciate the profoundness of the sword formation.
