"Thousand Severing Sword Formation!"
The Clan head of the Iron Shadow clan shouted out, and a thousand cultivators assembled themselves in formation. The cultivators began to chant something and their swords rose from their palms. Like a gigantic being, the swords rose up in unison and a visible layer of Qi was surrounding them.
The Iron Shadow clan head bit the tip of his index finger and blood appeared. He smeared the blood on his forehead in the form of a hyphen, and his eyes began to burn like fireballs.
"Heaven is the ultimate one,
Nothing burns brighter than the sun!"
The chant ended and the swords began to home at Hegerus. Maybe it was upon seeing the formation for the first time, he twitched his brows.
