Xiong Shan's golden handprint slowly opened, and the silver flying sword that had been stripped of its sword essence and had lost all its spirituality immediately fell. Before it could even touch the ground, it was torn into pieces by the sword qi that filled the air.
Xiong Shan did not even look at the flying sword that had been shattered. His gaze had already shifted to the other sword that was curved like a snake.
He opened his palm, and the golden handprint in the void immediately reached for the flying sword …
Han Li only took a glance at the situation here at the beginning, then he devoted himself to comprehending the sword shadow formation.
His previous comprehension of the Myriad Sword Diagram was mostly to practice the "Sword Chant" and to strengthen his control over the diagram. He did not understand much about the evolution and application of the sword formation.
However, combined with his comprehension of the sword shadow formation this time, he had gained a lot.
The essence of the sword shadow formation was still the use of sword qi to construct the formation.
As long as it was a formation, there would be a formation pivot and a formation eye. As long as he found the key points, he would have a chance to destroy it.
Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.
After some observation, Han Li had already found many important formation pivots, but it was impossible to make the formation fail without anyone noticing.
Once he did it forcefully, it would undoubtedly be the same as forcefully snatching his flying sword. It would be meaningless, so he could only continue to comprehend and wait quietly for an opportunity.
During this period of time, Xiong Shan had already continuously erased the hundreds of flying sword marks in the eastern and southern regions of the grassland and extracted the sword essence from them.
At this moment, half of the sky above the grassland was already filled with flying swords that had turned into spirit bodies.
Xiong Shan's figure flashed, and he flew straight to an area in the western part of the grassland. He opened his hand and grabbed one of the broadsword.
At this moment, his face was faintly pale. It seemed that this kind of sacrificial training had also consumed a lot of his yuan qi.
However, the expression on his face was very happy, and his eyes were also flashing with an increasingly scorching light.
At this moment, Han Li's gaze was fixed on the formation in the sky, carefully observing the tens of thousands of sword shadows.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that the sword shadow formation in the sky seemed to have become a little different from before.
But he couldn't tell exactly what was different about it.
However, he vaguely felt that this was the key to changing the formation and taking back the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords.
However, the more concentrated he looked, the more he was unable to see the crux clearly, and he couldn't help but feel slightly anxious.
Not long after, Xiong Shan erased all of the original owner's imprints on the hundreds of flying swords in that area.
At this point, more than half of the flying swords on the Sword Tomb Grassland had been transformed into pure Sword Origin.
After Xiong Shan was done, he did not rush to the next area. Instead, he took out two medicinal pills and swallowed them. Then, he turned around and looked at Han Li.
His gaze shifted slightly, shifting back and forth between Han Li and Zhu Feng twice. He seemed to be considering whether to go north where Han Li was, or to the northwest where Zhu Feng was.
Han Li's forehead was already covered in sweat. He was extremely anxious, but he still couldn't find a way to get out of the predicament in front of him.
He took a deep breath and simply closed his eyes. He stopped looking at the sword shadow formation and explored it with his strong Divine Sense.
As soon as his Divine Sense entered the formation, Han Li instantly felt a sharp pain in his Divine Soul. It was as if there were hundreds of sword lights slashing his Divine Soul at the same time. The feeling was simply indescribable.
However, he did not flinch. He still secretly gritted his teeth and endured it with his strong Divine Sense.
At this moment, Xiong Shan was wholeheartedly erasing the original imprints on the flying swords. The other elders also knew how powerful the formation was, so they did not dare to release their Divine Sense to explore it. Therefore, no one present noticed Han Li's bold action at all.
After the effects of the two medicinal pills were carried out, Xiong Shan's complexion recovered a little. His gaze finally fell on the northwest direction. He moved and flew in that direction.
He stretched his palm forward, and a golden handprint condensed in the void, grabbing at one of the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords.
The flying sword seemed to feel the incoming danger. The body of the sword trembled rapidly, emitting a low "weng weng" sound, which sounded a little like a woman's whimper.
In Han Li's ears, the sound seemed to be expressing sorrow and dissatisfaction with Han Li's inaction.
At this moment, Han Li, who had been exploring with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and an imperceptible smile appeared on his face.
In the next moment, the rapid trembling sound of the flying sword in the palm of the golden handprint stopped abruptly. The body of the sword suddenly froze, and it floated steadily in the air, not moving at all.
The other 71 flying swords that were flying around seemed to have received an order and stopped at the same time. Each of them was like a soldier about to rush into a battle formation. They were highly concentrated, and their bodies did not move at all.
Seeing that the flying swords that were making a lot of noise suddenly stopped, Zhu Feng was delighted at first, but for some reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
As expected, the next moment, a sudden change occurred.
Just as he was about to grasp the Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword tightly, there was a sudden sound of thunder. A series of dazzling golden electric arcs crackled and suddenly turned into a huge golden arc, pushing the golden handprint away.
At the same time, the other 71 Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords also flashed with golden electric arcs. They broke free from the restraints of Zhu Feng and the others at the same time and shot toward the flying sword.
"Rumble!"
The sound of rolling thunder rang out as the 71 flying swords, carrying with them surging golden lightning, tore apart the golden handprint and converged with another flying sword within it.
Seeing this, Xiong Shan shouted angrily, "What a bunch of trash! Hurry up and let the other swords return to their positions!"
He thought that the flying swords were resisting instinctively again, so he reprimanded Zhu Feng and the others. Little did he know that Zhu Feng was even more depressed. It was not that he did not want to restrain the flying swords, but that he could not restrain them at all.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the 72 Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords shot out dazzling golden electric arcs at the same time. They suddenly turned into 72 golden rays and shot out, breaking free from Zhu Feng's control and flying toward the eastern part of the sword formation.
Seeing this, Zhu Feng turned pale with fright and hurriedly used his magical power to try to salvage the situation. He had no choice but to release the Divine Devilbane Lightning flying sword. Its speed was astonishing, and in a flash, it had arrived at the eastern part of the grassland.
Not to mention that he could not control it in time, even Xiong Shan himself could not react in time.
After the seventy-two flying swords arrived, they did not immediately break through the formation and leave. Instead, they suddenly scattered in all directions and drew a series of unpredictable trajectories in the air. In the end, they dispersed to various parts of the area and actually constructed a small sword formation in the Thousand Sharp Spirit Gathering Sword Formation.
The sword light on the newly formed small sword formation suddenly brightened, shooting out dazzling rays of light directly to the sword shadow formation in the sky, causing the sword shadows formed by the golden threads to change one after another. The sky full of sword Qi swarmed toward the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords.
Almost in an instant, the sword Qi in the entire Sword Catacomb Grassland was disorderly, and the entire Thousand Sharp Spirit-Gathering Sword Formation also produced a shocking change.
It was as if the entire formation had been flipped around at this moment.
Xiong Shan's figure flashed, and just as he was about to stop it, because his aura was closely connected to the sword formation, he was affected by the reversal of the formation. The Celestial Spiritual Energy in his body circulated chaotically, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood as his body fell to the ground.
When he finally stabilized himself with great difficulty, it was already too late.
The other elders were also shocked by this change, and for a moment, no one reacted. As for the Mahayana and Body Integration disciples, even if they wanted to, they could not do anything.
Elder Mo Xie, who was watching from afar, saw the abnormality in advance, but from his point of view, he only thought that it was the sword formation's own change, and did not think of doing anything.
Among the people present, only Han Li was aware of this.
Previously, when he resisted the impact of the sword Qi in the formation, he forcibly observed it with his divine sense, and found that there were changes in the flow of sword Qi and the proportion of each side of the formation.
He found that after Xiong Shan transformed most of the flying swords, the density of sword Qi in the area where the flying swords were located had increased a lot. Although it was not too obvious, there was a certain degree of imbalance.
Therefore, he used the sword formation formed by the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords to quickly expand this imbalance, and finally caused the entire Thousand Sharp Spirit-Gathering Sword Formation to reverse.
All of this was easy to say, but very difficult to do.
First of all, one had to be extremely sensitive to the changes in the sword formation, and notice the minute changes in sword Qi.
Next, one had to accurately grasp the timing of turning the formation, otherwise, if the timing was not right, the reversal would most likely end in failure.
Finally, the small sword formation that was used to guide the sword Qi also came from the Myriad Sword Illustration, and it was inextricably linked to the sword formation, so it resonated with it from afar.
There could not be the slightest mistake in all of this, and only this way could the sword formation be reversed without destroying it. Otherwise, the sword formation would only be destroyed and collapse.
The hundreds of flying swords floating in the air suddenly seemed to be summoned by something, and with a flash of light, they rushed out, drawing a strange arc in the air.
At this moment, Elder Mo Xie seemed to think of something, and looked up at the sword formation above him, and to his surprise, he found that the trajectory of the sword Qi was actually the same as the sword shadows.
At this time, the sword formation formed by the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords had already formed a huge cyan vortex in the shape of a trumpet, sword Qi roiled within it, and faint golden lightning flashed within it.
