Wang Yu
Chapter 211 Reversal
Xiong Shan didn't even glance at the shattered flying sword. His gaze had already shifted to another long sword, its body curved like a swimming snake.
He opened his palm, and the golden handprint in the void immediately reached out towards that flying sword...
Han Li only glanced at the situation there initially, and then devoted himself entirely to comprehending the Sword Shadow Array Diagram.
His previous comprehension of the Myriad Swords Diagram was mainly for practicing the "Mind Sword Art" supernatural power and strengthening his control over the diagram. His understanding and application of the sword array evolutions within it were actually not extensive.
However, combined with this comprehension of the Sword Shadow Array Diagram, he gained a great deal.
The essence of this Sword Shadow Array is still to construct a formation through the use of sword energy.
As long as it is a formation, there are array pivots and array eyes. As long as these key points are found, there is a chance to destroy and dismantle it.
Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.
Through observation, Han Li had found many important array pivots, but he couldn't make the formation ineffective without being noticed.
Once he forcibly did that, it would be no different from forcibly snatching his own flying sword, which would be meaningless. Therefore, he had to continue to comprehend while quietly waiting for an opportunity.
During this period, Xiong Shan had successively erased the imprints of hundreds of flying swords in several areas in the east and south of the grassland, extracting the sword essence from them.
At this moment, half of the sky above the grassland was filled with flying swords transformed into spiritual bodies.
Xiong Shan flashed and flew straight to an area in the west of the grassland. He stretched out his large hand and grabbed towards a wide-bladed great sword.
At this time, his face was faintly pale, as if this kind of refining also consumed a lot of his vitality.
However, the expression on his face was very gratified, and his eyes sparkled with increasingly fervent light.
Han Li's gaze was fixed on the array diagram in the sky, carefully observing the thousands of sword shadows within it.
Just then, he suddenly noticed that the Sword Shadow Array Diagram in the sky seemed to have become somewhat different from the beginning.
But he couldn't figure out exactly where it was different for a while.
However, he vaguely felt that this difference was likely the key for him to change the formation and regain the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords.
However, the more attentively he looked, the more he couldn't see the key, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Before long, Xiong Shan had erased the original owner's imprints on the hundred or so flying swords in that area.
At this point, most of the flying swords on the Sword Tomb Grassland had been transformed into pure sword essence.
After completing this, Xiong Shan did not continue to the next area. Instead, he took out two pills and swallowed them, then turned around and looked towards Han Li.
His gaze shifted slightly, moving back and forth between Han Li and Zhu Feng twice, seemingly considering whether to go to the northern area where Han Li was, or to the northwest area where Zhu Feng was?
Sweat was already visible on Han Li's forehead. He was extremely anxious, but he still couldn't find a way to break through the current predicament.
He took a deep breath, simply closed his eyes, and stopped looking at the Sword Shadow Array Diagram. Instead, he used his strong divine sense to penetrate into it.
As soon as his divine sense entered the array diagram, Han Li instantly felt a burst of stinging pain in his soul. It was as if hundreds of sword lights were simultaneously slashing at his soul, and the feeling was simply indescribable.
However, he did not retreat, but gritted his teeth secretly and endured it with his powerful divine sense.
At this moment, Xiong Shan was focused on erasing the original imprints of the flying swords, and the other elders also knew the power of the array diagram, so they did not dare to release their divine sense to investigate. Therefore, no one present noticed Han Li's bold behavior.
After the effects of the two pills were processed, Xiong Shan's complexion recovered slightly. His gaze finally fell on the northwest direction. He moved and flew towards that side.
He stretched out his palm forward, and a golden handprint condensed in the void, grabbing towards a Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword.
The flying sword seemed to sense the impending crisis, and its body trembled rapidly, emitting a series of low "buzzing" sounds, which sounded somewhat like a woman's wailing.
Hearing this sound, Han Li felt as if it was expressing resentment and dissatisfaction towards Han Li for not saving it.
Just then, Han Li, who had been closing his eyes to investigate, suddenly opened his eyes.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a subtle smile appeared on his face.
In the next instant, the rapid trembling of the flying sword, which had already been virtually held in the palm of the golden handprint, stopped abruptly. The sword body suddenly solidified and hovered steadily in the air, without any further movement.
And the other seventy-one Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords that were rushing and flying around as well, as if they had received an order, stopped at the same time, each of them like a soldier about to rush into battle, highly focused and motionless.
Seeing these flying swords that had been making a lot of noise suddenly stop, Zhu Feng was first overjoyed, but for some reason, a bad feeling suddenly rose in his heart.
Sure enough, in the next instant, a sudden change occurred.
Just as he was about to clench the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, a sound of thunder suddenly rang out from it. A series of dazzling golden arcs of electricity crackled and suddenly transformed into a huge golden arc, propping open the golden handprint.
At the same time, the other seventy-one Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords also flashed with golden electric light, and they simultaneously broke free from the restraints of Zhu Feng and others, and shot towards this flying sword.
"Rumble"
A sound of rolling thunder rang out, and the seventy-one flying swords, carrying rolling golden thunder, actually tore the golden handprint apart and merged with the other flying sword within it.
"What a waste, quickly let the other swords return to their positions!" Xiong Shan shouted angrily when he saw this.
He only thought that the flying sword was fighting back again instinctively, and blamed Zhu Feng and others. Little did he know that the latter was even more depressed in his heart. It wasn't that he didn't want to restrain the flying sword just now, but that he couldn't restrain it at all.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the seventy-two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords simultaneously ejected dazzling golden arcs of electricity, suddenly transforming into seventy-two golden rays and shooting out, breaking free from Zhu Feng's control and flying towards the eastern part of the sword array.
Seeing this, Zhu Feng was shocked and quickly activated his supernatural powers, wanting to remedy the situation. However, the flying swords that released the Evil-Repelling Divine Lightning were surprisingly fast, and they flashed to the east of the grassland.
Not to mention that he couldn't control them at all, even Xiong Shan himself couldn't react.
After the seventy-two flying swords arrived, they did not immediately break through the array and leave. Instead, they suddenly scattered and drew a series of unpredictable trajectories in the air. Finally, they dispersed to various parts of that area, actually constructing a small sword array within the Thousand Peaks Spirit Gathering Sword Array.
The sword light on the newly formed small sword array suddenly brightened, bursting out with dazzling light that directly reflected towards the Sword Shadow Array Diagram in the sky, causing the sword shadows composed of golden threads to transform. The sword energy all over the sky swarmed towards the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords.
One move affects the whole body. Almost instantly, the sword energy of the entire Sword Tomb Grassland became chaotic, and the entire Thousand Peaks Spirit Gathering Sword Array also produced an amazing change.
This feeling was as if the entire array was suddenly reversed at this moment.
Xiong Shan flashed and arrived, about to stop it, but because his own aura was closely connected to the sword array, he was affected by the reversal of the great array, and the operation of the immortal spiritual power throughout his body was disrupted. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body also fell towards the ground.
By the time he managed to stabilize his figure, it was already too late.
The other elders were also shocked by this scene, and no one reacted for a while. As for those Mahayana Body Integration stage disciples, even if they wanted to, they were powerless.
Elder Mo Xie, who was watching from afar outside the array, had noticed something unusual in advance, but from his perspective, he only thought it was the array itself changing, and he didn't think about doing anything at all.
Among the people present, only Han Li knew about this in advance.
Earlier, he endured the impact of the sword energy of the array diagram and forced himself to observe it with his divine sense. He discovered that the flow of sword energy and the proportion of each side in the array diagram had changed.
He discovered that after Xiong Shan transformed most of the flying swords, the concentration of sword energy in the areas where these flying swords were located had increased a lot. Although it was not too obvious, there was a certain degree of imbalance.
Therefore, through the traction of the sword array formed by the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, he quickly expanded this state of imbalance, which eventually led to the reversal of the entire Thousand Peaks Spirit Gathering Sword Array.
All this sounds easy, but it is very difficult to do.
First of all, one must have extremely sensitive perception of the changes in the Sword Shadow Array Diagram and discover the subtle changes in the sword energy within it.
Secondly, one must also accurately grasp the timing of turning the array around. Otherwise, if the timing is wrong, turning it around will most likely end in failure.
Finally, the small sword array used to guide the sword energy is also from the Myriad Swords Diagram, which has a close relationship with the Sword Shadow Array Diagram and echoes it from afar.
Everything must not have the slightest error, so that the great array can be reversed without destroying the sword array. Otherwise, it would only destroy the sword array and cause it to collapse.
The densely packed hundreds of flying sword essences suspended in the sky suddenly flashed, as if they had been summoned, and rushed out, drawing a series of strange arcs in the air.
At this time, Elder Mo Xie seemed to have thought of something. He looked up at the Sword Shadow Array Diagram above and was surprised to find that the trajectories of these sword essence flying were all the same as the sword shadows.
At this time, a huge blue vortex in the shape of a trumpet had formed at the sword array formed by the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords. The sword energy surged within it, and golden electric light was constantly flashing in the middle.
Hundreds of sword intent-filled pure sword essences, wrapped in countless sharp sword energy and sword light, converged towards the blue vortex, echoing the sky full of sword shadows, forming a magnificent scene of sword tide surging, which could not be accurately described even with the description of Myriad Swords Returning to Their Origin.
