My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1378: Chapter 1377: Thirteen Swordsmen (Part 2)

In the midst of the chaos, he suddenly remembered the Speed Essence, which Chen Tianlong hadn’t used before. Now he felt it was time, so he stamped his foot on the ground, and with a sudden burst of strength, his whole body "whooshed" to the other end of the alley. Just as the walls were about to close, Chen Tianlong sprinted and leapt, making it out just in time.

Chen Tianlong finally caught his breath, still a bit dazed. Suddenly, he looked up and found himself in a space filled with mystery, surrounded by various murals.

Chen Tianlong didn’t pause to rest, immediately drawn over to the murals.

As he slowly approached, he discovered that the entire hall was filled with statues. Chen Tianlong counted thirteen in total, each holding their sword in a unique stance.

In his curiosity, Chen Tianlong observed carefully and found a huge mural directly opposite him, with the entire hall supported by gigantic rootless stone pillars.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that the mural depicted these thirteen statues in sword-wielding formations. At the top of the mural, conspicuously written were the words: "Diagram Explanation of the Thirteen Swordsmen Array."

"Oh, it’s a sword array! Seems even more impressive than the Assassin Group’s Sword Array," Chen Tianlong thought with excitement, as this was his first time seeing such a thing.

Just when he was engrossed, a group of swordsmen suddenly descended from above, startling Chen Tianlong greatly. He quickly retreated to the center of the hall. He rapidly drew out the Dragon Slayer Sword from his back, and only then did Chen Tianlong regain his composure and count exactly thirteen people.

"Crap, aren’t these the Thirteen Swordsmen from the mural?" Chen Tianlong thought to himself.

"Hello everyone, I apologize for intruding so abruptly," Chen Tianlong said with a smile, trying to ease the tension upon seeing so many people ready to attack.

However, the Thirteen Swordsmen seemed not to hear him, each assuming their sword positions, ready to strike. Startled, Chen Tianlong quickly became highly vigilant.

He thought to himself: "Are these guys all mute or something? They start ganging up without a word."

As he was thinking this, the Thirteen Swordsmen dispersed, surrounding Chen Tianlong and arranging themselves into a formation—the legendary Thirteen Swordsmen Array. It was at this moment that Chen Tianlong realized he had fallen into someone else’s sword array, feeling utterly embarrassed.

"Don’t mess around, I’ll leave," Chen Tianlong said, looking at the fierce demeanor of the people and preparing to escape, aware that he couldn’t handle them all.

But as soon as Chen Tianlong turned around, he saw them starting to swing their swords and stab towards him. Terrified, he urgently kicked off the ground, shooting skyward and grabbing onto the beam.

"Don’t come any closer!"

Chen Tianlong felt they were indeed very fierce, instilling some fear in him.

But the very next moment, those people showed no mercy; five of them leaped up, stepping on each other’s shoulders directly to stab at Chen Tianlong.

Chen Tianlong’s eyes widened, and after swallowing his saliva, he resolved to fight to the end. Releasing the beam, he utilized the Sword Control Skill, swiftly piercing through the midst of the five, the clashing of weapons ringing out with a "clang clang clang" sound.

Soon after, Chen Tianlong landed firmly; after this bout, he realized the opponents were incredibly formidable, not inferior to him in either speed or moves.

Chen Tianlong suddenly recalled what Isle Master Gu had said, that the Thirteen Swordsmen Array was created by predecessors specifically to train the Unity of Man and Sword, hence it must be extraordinary.

At that moment, Chen Tianlong was fully engaged, maintaining extreme vigilance, even lowering his breathing to avoid affecting his reaction sensitivity. The Thirteen Swordsmen again set up the sword array.

Chen Tianlong thought: I can’t let myself be trapped by their sword array again; I must find a way to break their array, otherwise, I’ll tire myself out before breaking through.

With that in mind, Chen Tianlong began to attack proactively. Observing the thirteen swordsmen, he noticed one among them who was relatively smaller in stature and build.

So Chen Tianlong smirked and quickly stabbed forward, thinking: Haha, I’ve found a breakthrough point now.

But in the next moment, Chen Tianlong realized he had made a mistake, for as he approached the shorter swordsman, several others on the side simultaneously drew their swords, immediately initiating an Absolute Defense stance, making it impossible to break through. Thus, Chen Tianlong swiftly retreated to the center.

This time, he planned to attack from below, so he suddenly lay down and performed a sweeping maneuver, spinning on the ground while wielding the Dragon Slayer Sword at his surroundings. The Thirteen Swordsmen leaped up, switching and filling positions, then simultaneously descended, their swords striking the ground in unison, generating a shockwave around Chen Tianlong.

Chen Tianlong, quick-witted and agile, kicked off from the ground, leaping up, feeling fortunate. However, the very next moment, he knew he had made another mistake, as five people appeared directly above him, swinging their swords down towards him simultaneously.

Chen Tianlong hurried to position the Dragon Slayer Sword horizontally to block.

But in doing so, it felt as though he lost footing, his body falling rapidly under the opponents’ pressure from above.

"Smack!" Chen Tianlong’s body crashed heavily onto the floor, creating a small indentation immediately on the flat stone floor, indicating the immense impact force.

After this tumble, Chen Tianlong felt as though his backside was about to fall apart, still in pain while holding himself up. Suddenly, he looked up and saw five people slashing their swords down at him from above.

"Oh my, can’t they give a person a break?" was the first thought that came to Chen Tianlong’s mind.

Indeed, they’re not here to let you live; they want to take you out directly.

Chen Tianlong hurriedly rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding this round of attack. But then the remaining swordsmen on the side began their assault again. Some swung their swords, others set up arrays on the spot, while some launched fierce downward stabs. This was a stance Chen Tianlong had never seen before, and he was utterly depressed.

However, despite his frustration, Chen Tianlong dared not linger longer. He decisively rolled to the side and abruptly stood up, leaping towards the swordsmen guarding the array.

The swordsmen struck back with a palm directly aimed at Chen Tianlong’s sole, hitting him with a powerful force.

He kneeled on one leg, gripping the Dragon Slayer Sword, supporting himself on the ground, and gasped heavily. But soon, he activated the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique.

Chen Tianlong discovered that as his strength increased, this Heart Method would automatically accelerate the recovery of vitality and healing functions. Besides his unique moves, this Heart Method was truly invincible, an impressive existence.

Yet Chen Tianlong was quite depressed about these people, who seemed to show no signs of exhaustion and continued to stare at him expressionlessly.

"Damn, are these guys even human? No matter how much you fight them, they don’t get tired." Chen Tianlong sincerely felt helpless.

The next moment, the Thirteen Swordsmen initiated another round of attack. Three of them stayed in place, holding their swords in front, and their palms exchanged positions.

Suddenly, they exerted force, and thirteen swords flew towards Chen Tianlong simultaneously.

At this moment, Chen Tianlong sensed danger, quickly ducking down. But after missing the target once, those swords kept tracking him. Chen Tianlong startled, hurriedly parried with his sword, but how many swords could he block out of thirteen?

Without a doubt, numerous swords instantly struck Chen Tianlong, though not lethally, indicating the arrangement was intentional.

In fact, this was just a training ground; who would dare come if there was constant life-threatening danger? So, while injured, Chen Tianlong only sustained minor wounds, feeling pain in his hands and feet, making movements inconvenient.

Just as Chen Tianlong felt relieved that he was not fatally injured, five swordsmen simultaneously flew in to kick him.

Chen Tianlong threw a punch without hesitating, but in the next moment, a sharp pain hit his lower abdomen, seeing two soles stepping on his belly, causing him to fly out and heavily crash into a stone pillar.

"Pff..."

Fresh blood spewed from Chen Tianlong’s mouth.

"Hoo..."

After collecting himself, Chen Tianlong rested a hand on his belly and supported himself on the ground with the other, suddenly feeling dizzy. He vigorously shook his head to try and clear it.

Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed beside him, "Chen Tianlong, now Master will teach you how to calm your mind, then comprehend the sword. Follow, merge your hands, let Qi sink into your Dantian, then gradually focus and condense your Qi..."

With this thought, Chen Tianlong immediately sat up, crossed his legs, and began meditating. Meanwhile, he recited the Heart Method Mantra of the second layer of the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique: Qi sinking into the Dantian, concentrated force, hands merged, Unity of Man and Sword.

The Dragon Slayer Sword faintly glowed orange, slowly rising above Chen Tianlong, continuously rotating over his head.

At the same time, the Thirteen Swordsmen commenced the sword array’s strongest move, the Rapid Succession Slash.

Within the Dragon Slayer Sword’s rotation, Chen Tianlong accelerated the Heart Method Mantra. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, activating Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root, swiftly weaving through the Thirteen Swordsmen, gaining speed.

Meanwhile, the sword array began a frenzy of rapid successive kills, with Chen Tianlong transforming into a light, merging into the Dragon Slayer Sword during his maneuver.

The Dragon Slayer Sword seemed infused with infinite force, abruptly accelerating wildly through the sword array, sparking collisions. Finally, the Dragon Slayer Sword descended from the sky, stabbing the center of the array, sending shock waves outward.

Instantly, the Thirteen Swordsmen fell to the ground, spewing blood from their mouths, dropping their swords.

Chen Tianlong flashed out from the sword, quietly standing at the center while gripping the Dragon Slayer Sword.

After a moment of commotion, everyone clenched their fists and exclaimed in unison, "Congratulations, brother, Divine Skill achieved."

"Ah?"

Chen Tianlong was shocked, initially still on guard. Suddenly, everyone conceded, and now he finally understood, realizing he had achieved Unity of Man and Sword. The sword array was broken, and the outcome was settled.

Chen Tianlong then relaxed, humorously moving forward intending to shake hands with the Thirteen Swordsmen, but as he approached, the Thirteen Swordsmen sprung up and disappeared in an instant.

Chen Tianlong could only smile wryly, waving goodbye.
