Seeing that Ling Qing Yun was finally unable to resist the force of the explosion, he burst into laughter and fell into the sea of flames. He finally saw this chivalrous hero, who always had a cold expression, suffer defeat. Furthermore, he was so powerless to resist, yet he was miserably rendered into a miserable state by himself.
However, Xiao Li's side just happened to show a strange scene. Xiao Li was actually able to resist Zhang Yi's sword intent and even attracted the fear of everyone.
Seeing that Zhang Yi's sword intent was actually controlled by Xiao Li, Xue Feng knew that if he did not act now, Zhang Yi's fate would be extremely miserable. He immediately said to Chen Donglai, "Brother Chen, are you still not going to act?"
Chen Donglai smiled and said, "There is indeed something strange about him. He is actually able to draw out an unwavering sword intent." Alright, I'll test just how strong his perseverance is. Brother Xue must remember this favor! "
As he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Xue Ji's reply and instead pointed the long sword in his hand at Xiao Li's three arrows.
Chen Donglai was the strongest of the ten envoys, so his attacks were naturally extraordinary. His Kai Yang's sword intent was unparalleled as it fused with his own sword beam, actually slashing onto Xiao Li's three arrows. Boom!
Xiao Li's three arrows were all made of hundred refined steel, but they were unable to stop the sharpness of Chen Donglai's sword rays. At the same time, three creaking sounds could be heard. Xiao Li took three steps back due to the shock. A deep wound appeared on each of the sharp arrows in his hands. It was as though his throat had been grabbed by someone. The sword intent's uncontrollable undulations gradually calmed down, and the pressure also dissipated. Immediately, he withdrew his sword intent, and a layer of sweat already appeared on his face. From this, it could be seen how dangerous his previous state had been.
He could only ask Chen Donglai for help. If he was late by a few minutes, Zhang Yi would probably not be able to withstand Xiao Li's control and his own sword intent would be controlled by Xiao Li. At that time, even his own thoughts might be controlled by Xiao Li. This was an extremely mysterious matter, and it was also the most taboo thing for people who cultivated sword intent.
There was another classic story to talk about, but this one had to start from a hundred years ago.
It was said that there was a very talented person in the sect. As for his background, no one knew, but they knew that this person had been born with a sword all his life. Because they were born together, they had an interaction with the sword, and in the end, they were able to understand each other and comprehend the sword intent.
Back then, when he was in the competition for the top 100 clans, he wanted to use his comprehension of the dao to suppress all the heroes of the world. However, in the end, he failed.
Back then, he had challenged the world, and in the end, he was the last one against the five experts in the world in a deep mountain area. Finally, he was suppressed by the other two experts and lost in the process.
Of the two great experts of the past, one was a saint from the Buddhist Sangha and the other was a nameless unspecialized character. The buddhist masters relied on their own meditation techniques to not be affected by this person's sword intent at all, turning their own thoughts into Unmoving Vajra. Regardless of how strong their sword intent was, or how much it weighed on them, they could always respond to it.
Although this buddhist expert could fight against his sword intent sacred art, this person could still fight with his dragon and tiger. However, another unspecialized character had completely destroyed his sword intent technique and had almost caused him to lose his life.
Because this nameless rogue cultivator's voice entered the Dao, relying on this nameless sound path, it was actually able to lead the thoughts in his sword intent to move, gradually controlling his thoughts and bringing his thoughts to the insane realm. Fortunately, this person's willpower had already reached the state of being as firm as a rock. When he discovered that his willpower was being controlled by someone, he actually did something like breaking a warrior's wrist, and even though his heart was being damaged, he did not hesitate to break his willpower that was fused into the sword intent. However, he was attacked by the sword intent that was being controlled by an unspecialized character. Moreover, he had even cultivated out his own sword intent to spread it throughout the world. He hoped that one day, he would gather the power of all the living beings in the world to perfect this sacred art, allowing it to shine above the peak of the world and not be destroyed by others.
This person had not only passed down the cultivation method of sword intent, but had also narrated a part of the past. As a result, basically everyone who practiced the sword knew that there was someone who could control sword intent, but because its unrivalled might was still being carried on by another person, and of course, the most important reason was that very few people in the world could control sword intent. This was something that the senior expert had never expected.
Furthermore, it was extremely rare for a sword cultivator to cultivate sword intent. This was because the difficulty of this sword art required one to have great willpower and talent in order to achieve it.
There was still one thing that he had not expected, and that was that all the martial artists in the world had decided to split up the documents in the end, and no one dared to reveal their true strength. Even the martial brothers and sisters in their own sects did not dare to use their martial arts to prove themselves, who would ever be able to perfect this sword art.
The reason why Xiao Li was able to trigger Zhang Yi's sword intent this time was because Zhang Yi's sword intent had yet to solidify. He was like a newborn baby, naturally the slightest enticement would cause it to waver. Secondly, Xiao Li himself had the experience of resisting Zhang Yi's sword intent. At that time, he had used his inner force cultivation method to stabilize his mind and eliminate the Zhang Yi's sword intent's effects, which gave him a basic understanding of Zhang Yi's sword intent attack methods. As a result, he gained a better understanding of the sword intent.
Sword intent was originally an intangible substance, but Xiao Li could already use his own perception to grasp onto Zhang Yi's sword intent. It was as if an invisible person had been seen through by his eye, and the only thing left was to carefully study it. Therefore, Xiao Li had used his sword intent to do research. He had used the shock from his arrows to interfere with the sword intent, but he had really succeeded in the end.
This kind of thing was so simple, but this was only for Xiao Li. Actually, the crux of it was that Xiao Li's will could interact with Zhang Yi's sword intent, which was why he was able to do this. However, Xiao Li did not know about these things, so it would be strange if he knew that he could control Zhang Yi's sword intent and would let Zhang Yi go.
He was not as mysterious as that unknown person, so he could only draw Zhang Yi's sword intent. As for the others, such as Xue Ji and Chen Donglai, he was still at a loss as to how to deal with them, but even so, he still managed to shock the three of them because they had witnessed the legendary event.
Although Chen Donglai's attack seemed very sharp, he wasn't using his full strength. He was also very nervous. Just now, he had only made a probing strike to see how the other party would react. That was why he had responded to Xue Ji's request. If Xiao Li could even draw out his sword intent, then he would definitely turn around and flee. However, that was not what was required of him. Of course, his own life was more important. Only a befuddled person would go all out against such a person.
Xiao Li's reaction made Chen Donglai feel slightly more at ease. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief without batting an eyelid.
Chen Donglai had saved Zhang Yi with a single sword attack, while Xue Chao was also secretly relieved. He immediately said to Chen Donglai: "Everyone attack together. It's best if we resolve this matter as soon as possible."
Chen Donglai waved his sword and replied, "Okay, let's all attack together."
Ling Qingyun was shot down into the sea of fire and immediately took a deep breath to suppress the injuries on her chest. Her clothes fluttered the fire around her as she looked at the situation over at Xiao Li's side and saw that Xiao Li had triggered Zhang Yi's sword intent. He didn't expect Xiao Li to be so capable.
However, when he saw that Chen Donglai's group of ten were about to attack, he became anxious. He knew that Xiao Li alone would not be able to withstand the assault of the ten experts.
Yin Sun watched the actions of Chen Dongliu and his men with glee. His plan was to advance towards success, and without giving Ling Qingyun a chance, he waved his right hand and ordered, "Destroy this bastard!"
The outermost subordinates instantly launched their bullets continuously towards Ling Qingyun, who had just steadied his body.
Ling Qingyun could not help but let out a sigh of despair as she looked at the sky full of dancing packets of gunpowder. With a wave of her hand, she wrapped all of them into her sword intent circle, using all her strength to weaken the power of the gunpowder explosion.
At this moment, his internal injuries were already quite serious. He knew that he would die soon from the constant barrage of bullets. However, he did not have any good ideas for now.
At this moment, the silent Ji Fang Yan suddenly opened his mouth: "Brother Ling, you can tear apart those bullets before they explode!"
Amongst the people here, perhaps only Zi Yan had some understanding about the powder, thus when Ling Qingyun heard the words of Su Yan, he was immediately enlivened. The sword intent in his hand changed, and a portion of the sword intent immediately scattered out, transforming into a sharp sword beam that shot towards the powder, instantly dismembering it.
A large amount of black powder was emitted from the center of the ring. When it met with the fire, it would immediately ignite, causing a dazzling light to burst out. However, it no longer released any explosive power.
Ling Qingyun saw that this technique was really feasible, and immediately, her spirit surged. With a long howl towards the sky, all the sword intent around her explosively shot out, as if it was a ten thousand sword flashing, covering an area of one hundred zhang.
Yin Sun didn't expect his plan to be ruined by a single sentence from Yoyan. He glared at her, gnashing his teeth in hatred. "Cut the lead, and it'll be a mess!" he ordered.
After he finished speaking, he made his own move first. He twisted the trigger two-thirds of the gunpowder pack on his body, ignited them, and then threw them out when they were about to explode. He did not care about the sword lights that filled the sky around Ling Qingyun and just viciously smashed them down.
Ling Qingyun had not expected Yin Sun to fail in his attempt, and his anger was stoked. A third of the sword intent had been blown away by Yin Sun, and he himself had been affected as well.
Xiao Li and the others were also affected, but it wasn't too serious. However, when Xiao Li saw the power of the gunpowder, he clearly understood the danger Ling Qingyun was in. He felt ashamed and did not wait for Chen Donglai and the others to attack first as he rushed forward to kill them.
Only for the flowers, give me the top!
