"Go!"
Han Li's expression froze. He quickly formed a hand seal with both hands and shouted.
As he waved his fingers forward, the countless sword Qi and sword light immediately surged out and drowned the thousands of stone swords.
"Clang, clang, clang …"
Amidst a series of clanging sounds, the sword light and sword shadows shot out by the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords were quickly annihilated. It actually took dozens of swords to neutralize a single stone sword, and it was only a stone sword formed from sword light.
Fortunately, the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords' sword light was more concentrated, and their number far surpassed the stone swords. For the time being, they were still in a stalemate.
Han Li's expression was solemn. His hand technique didn't stop as he controlled the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords to constantly press forward, turning them into a large net of sword light that forced the stone swords to continuously retreat.
Under the constant wear and tear of the sword light, the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords' sword light had already been reduced to less than ninety percent, and the sword light from the stone swords had also been exhausted. There were less than thirty swords left.
The collision between the two sides was still intense. The surging sword light reflected into the sky and emitted deafening roars.
Han Li clenched his teeth as beads of sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead.
He suddenly let out a low shout, and the immortal spiritual energy in his body surged out like a tide. At this moment, the remaining Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords also erupted.
All of the flying swords were surrounded by golden light and countless golden lightning bolts, instantly destroying most of the remaining stone swords. Only the original eight stone swords were still floating in the air, pointing at Han Li.
At the same time, the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords' sword light also dissipated, leaving only eighty or so swords.
Han Li's heart was slightly at ease. He took a large step forward and was about to ascend the altar.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The yellow pebbles embedded at the edge of the altar suddenly lit up and flashed.
The eight stone swords in midair shook abruptly as if they'd once again obtained a strand of formidable strength. Bright yellow light erupted from the bodies of the swords as they suddenly shot out explosively, and they actually directly shattered the remaining sword lights of the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords.
The thirty-six flying swords suffered a heavy blow, but they still released a burst of dazzling lightning and blocked seven of the stone swords. In the end, one of the flying swords managed to escape the net and quickly arrived in front of Han Li. It was only three meters away from Han Li's chest.
At the critical moment, Han Li suddenly reversed the Mantra Treasure Wheel in his body. His body moved sideways in an instant, and the stone sword brushed past his ribs and flew out, tearing the robe around his waist.
Han Li had a lingering fear in his heart. He quickly raised his hand to summon his flying sword and took a step back.
At this time, a strange "pa" sound was heard. The pebbles inlaid on the edge of the altar dimmed at the same time. Then, with an explosive sound, they all shattered.
The remaining seven flying swords hovering in the air also seemed to have lost their spirituality as they fell to the ground with clanking sounds.
Seeing this, Han Li knew that the power of the law contained in the Stone had been exhausted after so many years. His mind finally relaxed a little, and he was about to step onto the altar.
However, just as he took a step, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly looked at his waist.
He saw that there was blood oozing from where the robe was torn. However, the wound was not deep, as if it was just a scratch.
But when Han Li opened his robe and looked at the wound, he was surprised to find that the wound was actually gray. When he touched it with his hand, it was as cold and hard as a rock.
He thought for a moment and understood. It was most likely that when the flying sword scratched him, the power of the law contained in the sword caused his wound to petrify.
Fortunately, the wound was not deep, and it was not penetrated by the sword, so the petrified area was less than an inch.
While thinking, Han Li used his finger as a knife to cut off the flesh from his body, and the new wound began to heal itself.
After dealing with it, he shook his sleeves and put away all the Green Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords. When he was about to step onto the altar, he suddenly heard a roar not far away. It seemed that someone had also found the position of the array pivot and was rushing here.
He no longer hesitated and stepped onto the altar. His hands were wrapped in green light, and he grabbed the octagonal jade plate. With a sudden pull, he pulled it out of the altar.
Han Li held the jade plate in his hand and began to explore it with his spiritual will.
After a moment, his eyes suddenly opened, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. The octagonal jade plate in his hand was not anything else, but the Heavenly Sword Array diagram that was said to have been taken out of the Heavenly Sword Sect by Taisui the Immortal.
The complexity of the sword array diagram and the exquisiteness of the structure were far beyond his imagination.
After a rough look, he knew that it was a treasure that could only be found by chance, and he quickly and carefully put it away.
The next moment, a loud bang came from the sky.
Han Li looked up subconsciously and saw that the gate of heaven hanging high in the sky was slowly closing. The surrounding yellow clouds were surging, and the void was becoming more and more blurred.
The giant yellow swords that were still falling had all disappeared, and the whole array had completely disappeared.
The oppressive force was also slowly disappearing, but the chaotic fog that gathered around did not dissipate for the time being. However, the trace of the power of the law of the earth attribute contained in it could not be detected.
Han Li slowly retreated from the altar, flipped his palm, and took out an immortal medicine.
When he was about to take it, he heard a voice behind him, "Oh, Friend Han, it's been hard on you to break the array …"
Han Li turned his head and saw Lei Yuce walking towards him with a smile.
But as he neared, he saw the eight stone swords scattered on the ground. He raised his hand and waved his sleeve, collecting them one by one with a calm expression.
"If not for the help of everyone who entered the array, how could Han have succeeded?" Han Li smiled as usual.
"Friend Han, you don't have to be so humble. The credit for breaking the array belongs to you," Lei Yuce continued.
"Don't flatter me, Friend Lei. No matter how thick-skinned Han is, I can't take it anymore," Han Li said with a wave of his hand.
Hearing this, Lei Yuce's face flashed with a trace of hesitation. After thinking it over, he still opened his mouth.
"Friend Han, I have a request, and I hope that you will agree to it."
"What is it, Friend Lei? Feel free to speak your mind." Although Han Li already had a guess, he still pretended not to know.
"When you broke the array, you should have seen a sword formation diagram. That is a treasure of our Heavenly Sword Sect that has been lost for a long time. I hope that you can return it to its rightful owner.
Of course, our Heavenly Sword Sect will also show our utmost sincerity to compensate you. "Lei Yuce clasped his hands in salute and said.
When Han Li heard this, his brows furrowed tightly. A hint of surprise appeared on his face, and he asked,
He asked, "Ever since I entered the sword formation, I have been trapped. Only now did I manage to escape, but I did not see any formation diagram."
"Friend Han, although this sword formation is of a very high grade, to you, it is just a powerful sword formation. But to our sect, it has a very special meaning.
If you can return it generously, I am willing to give you a fifth-grade immortal treasure as a token of appreciation. At the same time, I would also like to invite you to be an anonymous worshipper of our Heavenly Sword Sect, and enjoy the treatment of an inner sect elder. "Hearing this, Lei Yuce seemed to have expected this, and his expression did not change.
Such a token of appreciation was already a great fortune for anyone, especially the matter of being an anonymous worshipper of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Lei Yuce had indeed shown the greatest sincerity. If he could not be recorded in the Ancestral Hall, he would not have to be responsible for the affairs of the sect, and would not expose the whereabouts of Han Li. At the same time, he would have an endless supply of worshippers from the elders.
But to Han Li, these were really of little value. After this, he could not continue to stay in the Golden Origin Immortal Domain, and he did not even know where to go.
Most importantly, this Heavenly Sword Formation was too much to his liking. If he could use it with his Green Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, it would definitely be a great help to him.
Han Li wore a regretful expression and said, "I appreciate Fellow Daoist Lei's good intentions, but I truly don't know what the formation diagram you speak of is. Even if I covet the benefits you speak of, I have no way of shamelessly deceiving you."
"Friend Han, you really didn't see the diagram on this altar?" Hearing this, Lei Yuce unconsciously raised his eyebrows and asked with a frown.
At the same time, he also had doubts in his heart. Was it really not here?
"No.
There are only eight stone swords on this altar, and I didn't have time to check them before they were all taken by you, "Han Li said with a bitter smile.
Hearing this, Lei Yuce's expression slightly froze, and his eyes were fixed on Han Li, as if he wanted to see something strange about him.
However, Han Li was calm and composed, and there was not the slightest flaw.
"Friend Lei, if there is nothing else, how about we take a look at whether there are any restrictions in this Chronomoon Hall?" Han Li changed the topic and said.
Lei Yuce frowned and nodded. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly made a hand seal and chanted.
Following this, a white jade token on his waist suddenly lit up, and a complicated rune appeared on it.
Han Li had already turned around when he suddenly felt a strange fluctuation coming from behind him. He immediately looked down and found that the storage ring on his hand was flashing brightly.
The Octagonal Jade Plate was currently hidden in this ring of holding.
"Friend Han, are you really not willing to return it?" Lei Yuce's voice sounded from behind.
"Treasure hunting in the secret realm depends on one's own ability.
Previously, I didn't fight with you for the stone swords, and that was already a sign of goodwill. Why must Friend Lei be so overbearing?
If you really don't want to be kind, you can try to take it by force. Han doesn't mind taking back the stone swords, "Han Li said coldly without turning his head.
After saying that, he walked across the square and walked up the stone steps in front of the majestic hall, one step at a time.
Lei Yuce stood in place with a solemn expression, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
At this time, the yellow cloud phenomenon on the square had already begun to dissipate, and the figures of the other people also emerged and began to hurry over.
Lei Yuce glanced at the group of fiendish demons led by Qi Mozi and sighed softly, forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart.
After all, he coveted the sword formation diagram for selfish reasons. For him, there were more important things waiting for him in this hall.
