Chapter 210: Dancing Swords

Xiong Shan’s chanting continued, his hands gripping the hilt of the golden longsword, slowly inserting it into the hole of the white jade altar.

A series of "chi chi" friction sounds echoed.

As soon as the longsword was inserted into the altar, the entire Sword Offering Platform shook violently, and a dazzling white pillar of light rose from it, shooting straight into the sky.

At the same time, the Immortal Essence Stones embedded in the black stone pillars beneath Han Li and the others burst into bright light, and streams of rich spiritual power flowed out, overflowing the patterns on the stone pillars like liquid.

The ten black stone pillars shuddered simultaneously, emitting dazzling black light, all transforming into a pillar of light that shot into the sky.

In the sky above, the already scattered clouds were further disturbed by the light, and a layer of gray light curtain visible to the naked eye then emerged from them, like a large pot, inverted over the entire Sword Burial Forbidden Area.

Seeing this, Xiong Shan, standing on the high platform, revealed a hint of inexplicable excitement in his eyes.

His original low chanting suddenly turned into a loud shout, each sound like thunder, resounding through the nine heavens!

On the gray light curtain, golden light flickered, condensing into golden threads, interacting with each other, interlinking, and swimming around uncertainly.

At the same time, the trembling sound like the buzzing of wasps throughout the Sword Burial Forbidden Area became louder and louder.

Han Li looked around and found that within the area where he was, the hundred or so flying swords were shaking violently at the same time, seeming to struggle desperately to break free from the constraints of the graves.

Due to the extremely high speed and large amplitude, a series of continuous fan-shaped afterimages were shaken out above the graves.

Through the connection of mind and spirit with the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, Han Li felt a strong sense of fear. His natal flying swords, like all the other flying swords, seemed to be strongly afraid, wanting to escape this Sword Burial Forbidden Area.

When he thought about how he had cultivated the Golden Thunder Bamboo bit by bit in the Mortal Realm, and how he had refined the seventy-two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords bit by bit, Han Li felt a strange feeling in his heart.

In the long journey of cultivation, besides the Small Bottle, perhaps the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords were the ones that had accompanied him the longest, shared life and death with him, and were the most loyal to him?

And at this moment, these natal flying swords connected to his soul were facing the situation of having their imprints erased and their Sword Essence extracted, which made him feel anxious and somewhat guilty.

He couldn't wait to immediately rescue his flying swords and then leave.

The Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords in the formation seemed to feel the master's helpless mood, and their trembling sounds were even more intense, faintly showing a bit of tragic meaning.

Han Li seemed to read some of the flying swords' intentions.

It was a kind of determination to rather be shattered jade than preserved tile. Once he could not rescue them, they would rather collapse on their own than have their spiritual imprints erased and integrated into other flying swords.

Just then, there was a sudden "buzz" sound from the sky.

Han Li immediately looked up and saw that on the gray light curtain in the sky, all the golden threads had stopped moving and had all gathered into countless golden sword shadows.

These sword shadows had different postures and shapes. Some had straight blades, while others had curved bodies. Some were shaped like ancient rulers, while others resembled sharp cones...

And their sizes were also different. Some were hundreds of feet in size, looking like large warships, while others were less than an inch, looking like embroidery needles.

Han Li's eyesight was amazing. Upon closer inspection, he found that even the smallest sword shadows had complete runes and were exquisitely detailed, without any flaws.

And with the appearance of this huge Sword Shadow Array Diagram, the sharp Sword Qi in the entire Sword Burial Forbidden Area skyrocketed dozens of times. The grass on the ground was almost instantly crushed into powder, and there seemed to be a few more traces of murderous aura in the air.

Han Li and the other ten inner sect elders standing on the black stone pillars looked at the scene in front of them, their expressions slightly changed, and they were amazed in their hearts.

And the three teams stationed in each area were also solemn at the moment, firmly stationed in place, and did not dare to move even a bit, fearing that they would be affected by the Sword Qi and suffer the tragic fate of being torn apart by random blades.

While marveling, Han Li felt some doubts in his heart. He vaguely felt that the scene in front of him seemed a bit familiar.

Just then, the elders scattered throughout the grassland, looking up at the Sword Shadow Array Diagram, all seemed to have suffered a powerful blow from some invisible object, and they all let out a muffled groan at the same time, and moved their gazes away.

Even Mo Xie only looked up for ten or so breaths before feeling a unbearable stabbing pain in his sea of consciousness, and reluctantly moved his gaze away.

Although Han Li also suffered an impact, he was naturally unharmed by virtue of his powerful divine sense far beyond his peers. He just blinked slightly and continued to watch.

"Remind you fellow Daoists, the Sword Qi contained in the Thousand Peaks Spirit Gathering Sword Array Diagram has a considerable impact on the divine sense, and it is useless to look at it more." At this time, Xiong Shan's voice suddenly sounded in everyone's minds.

After hearing this, everyone naturally did not dare to covet the mystery of the array diagram, and did not dare to try to spy on its mysteries.

Han Li's eyes suddenly lit up with an unusual brilliance, and he suddenly realized.

In the Immortal's Mansion in the Guanghan Realm, he once obtained a Ten Thousand Swords Diagram, the sword array evolution and aura on it were surprisingly similar to the Sword Shadow Array Diagram in front of him.

Even in some places, its mystery seemed to surpass this array diagram.

He couldn't help but feel happy, and quickly began to carefully comprehend the Sword Shadow Array Diagram in the sky.

After a while, a loud shout from Xiong Shan suddenly came from the Sword Offering Platform, the sound was like a hongzhong, shaking the entire grassland.

"Bang bang bang..."

Immediately afterwards, there was a continuous sound like firecrackers exploding.

The dense graves burst one after another, and the thousand or so flying swords inserted into them all broke free from control, turning into a chaotic sword light, flying around randomly.

Each one charged around wildly, and seemed to want to fly away from the forbidden area.

The thirty teams guarding the sword array immediately took action, using their supernatural powers to control these flying swords.

In the eastern part of the grassland, a flying sword entwined with raging flames, its body was filled with fire, and the sword body roared straight into the sky, scorching the surrounding air so that it "bizzed" sound.

Seeing this, the three guarding teams responsible for this area simultaneously chanted, and under the auspices of the three Mahayana Stage cultivators, they jointly summoned a huge water dragon, wrapped the fire sword tightly, and quickly pulled it back.

In the southern part of the grassland, a giant earth-yellow sword about three feet wide and more than eight feet long, reflecting an earth-yellow halo around it, not only did not rise into the sky like other flying swords, but instead pointed its sword tip to the ground, spinning wildly in a "whoosh whoosh" sound, and drilled into the ground.

The three teams stationed here were also prepared. Under their spellcasting, the ground in this area had long been turned into cyan-black color, and the entire ground was as hard as a rock. No matter how the giant sword drilled, it could only stir up large sparks, but it could not drill in at all.

After Han Li's seventy-two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords escaped, they immediately gathered together like a swarm of bees, flashing golden thunder, and were about to rush towards Han Li.

However, at this moment, this world was full of chaotic sword shadows flying all over the sky. If you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't be able to see the intention of these flying swords.

"Quickly stop those flying swords!" Seeing this, Zhu Feng immediately ordered.

The people from Ye Feng and the other three teams did not dare to neglect, and naturally used their supernatural powers to draw the surrounding spiritual energy, turning it into a huge cage woven from cyan spiritual energy, and covering the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords.

The flying swords had just flown more than ten miles before being immediately covered by the cyan cage from above, blocking them in place.

"Zizi..."

A sound of electric current flowing sounded. The seventy-two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords simultaneously radiated golden light, and electric light burst out, like a huge golden thunderball that exploded with a bang, emitting countless golden arcs, directly tearing the cyan cage into pieces.

Han Li felt this in his heart. He could even feel the faint anger in the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords when the Evil-Expelling Divine Lightning erupted.

However, he could not do anything now, and could only control the flying swords in his area like everyone else.

"A bunch of trash." Zhu Feng on the black stone pillar couldn't help but scold.

He grabbed in front of him with one hand, and several huge imprints appeared out of thin air in mid-air, covering the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, and forcibly pulled them back.

Xiong Shan seemed to have expected these flying swords to fight back, and only observed them a few times at the beginning, and then completely ignored them.

Soon, the flying swords that had escaped in various places were suppressed one after another, but some flying swords were still unwilling to be controlled, and constantly tried to break free, while more flying swords could only struggle and fly in a small area, colliding with each other and constantly making a "clang clang" sound of metal clashing.

Han Li steadily controlled the flying swords in his area, but his mind kept recalling the original Ten Thousand Swords Diagram.

Based on this foundation, his comprehension of the Sword Shadow Array Diagram in the sky was twice the result with half the effort. He quickly saw many ways and had some understanding, but after all, time was too short, and it was still far from being able to fully understand it.

At this moment, Xiong Shan on the high platform suddenly stopped chanting, and with a flash of his figure, he suddenly rose from the ground and rushed straight to the eastern sky.

He flew into the area where Qi Liang was located, waved his sleeves, grabbed with his big hand in the void, and a huge golden handprint protruded from the void, grabbing a silver-white flying sword in his hand.

The silver-white flying sword immediately struggled wildly. The silver light on its body surged out like water, turning into hundreds of silver sword shadows, rushing in all directions, trying to prop open the golden handprint.

However, the golden handprint was tightly clenched, and did not loosen at all despite the silver light and sword shadows raging.

Seeing this, Xiong Shan raised his other palm, pointed his fingers like a knife, condensed another golden handprint in the air, and wiped it hard on the silver flying sword.

The silver flying sword shuddered violently, and a layer of translucent light on it was peeled off inch by inch from the surface by the golden handprint, condensing into a translucent flying sword in mid-air, which seemed to have turned into a spiritual body, obediently suspended in mid-air, no longer moving at all.
