With Li Sisui's earth-shattering roar, a white mark appeared between his brows, and his short sword slowly slid out. His slow sword domain expanded like an inflated balloon, covering a radius of ten feet in just a few breaths. Li Sisui's eyes were burning with fighting spirit. If he wanted to know his strength, these hundred or so people in front of him might be a better way to test it!
As Li Sisui's understanding of his own strength improved, his confidence gradually grew. Even though he knew he had the protagonist's halo, he still had to be cautious at first. He wanted to be unrestrained, but his strength wouldn't allow it!
He originally thought he would have to continue to be cautious, but he never expected that he would underestimate the influence of the protagonist's halo. The Dust-Covered Technique in his hands actually unleashed such incredible power. Recalling the Five Dragons Divine Travel Pill he obtained at the Heavenly Gate Sect that day, and the exclamations of "Six Dragons Empowering" from the crowd, it seems that there is more than one way to activate the protagonist's halo!
As for which approach is correct, he will have to experience and verify it later. But in any case, after understanding these things, he became truly calm. One against a hundred? So what if one against a thousand! Although there are easier solutions, he just wants to test the limits of this slow sword domain.
Li Sisui felt his divine sense surging wildly in his mind. Breaking the formation had already consumed a lot of his divine sense. Fortunately, he had left some pills as a backup, so he was not exhausted. Since he wanted to test it, he naturally had to maximize all the values. Only by pushing his output to the limit could he know where the upper limit was!
Because he kept consuming pills to restore his cultivation, Li Sisui unknowingly discovered another interesting place.
For ordinary cultivators, these pills can only restore their cultivation level. For him, although they can be converted into divine sense, there is a prerequisite: his cultivation level must be at its peak before any excess cultivation can be converted into divine sense. It's not like he had previously thought, where he could recklessly increase his divine sense simply by consuming pills...
Facing over a hundred cultivators from the Divine Firmament Palace, most of the medicinal power of the pills he swallowed was used to restore his cultivation. Once his cultivation was restored, the medicinal power was almost gone, and its effect on his divine sense was negligible. Feeling his divine sense surging again, Li Sisui unconsciously smiled, and golden light flashed in his eyes, as bright as stars in the dark night!
The dark, overwhelming wave of magical artifacts roared in, so fast and powerful as to sweep away clouds. However, upon contact with the Slow Sword Domain, they were like red-hot irons dropped into cold water. All the magical artifacts began to lose their luster, revealing their true nature, and their speed plummeted, as if they had entered another dimension and were crawling forward!
As Li Sisui felt the impact between the magic weapon and the slow sword domain, he almost lost his composure in that instant, and the slow sword domain almost collapsed as well. Fortunately, he managed to stabilize himself in the end, but even so, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. It seems that the slow sword domain is not invincible and has a limit. The hundred or so cultivators in front of him are already the limit, and he no longer has the strength to control the transparent short sword!
Upon seeing this, the cultivators of Shenxiao Palace immediately exclaimed in surprise, "What kind of strange technique is this?"
The feedback from the magical artifacts indicated that they seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, struggling to move forward and moving sluggishly. As a result, the cultivators controlling the artifacts felt their cultivation levels surge like a geyser, and their cultivation consumption increased exponentially. Some cultivators with slightly lower cultivation levels were already sweating on their foreheads and looking exhausted!
The elder of Shenxiao Palace wore a cold expression. He had heard his disciple describe this person's strange technique before, but he remembered that the range of the slowing effect was only a little over five zhang. How could it have suddenly doubled? Judging from the disciple's description, by the time these magical artifacts reached this person, he would probably already be dead...
"Everyone, listen up! Retrieve your magical artifacts and form the array!"
Upon hearing this, the cultivators breathed a sigh of relief and recalled their magical artifacts. They were shocked. As expected of someone who could break through the sect's protective formation single-handedly, he was able to fight against a hundred people without being at a disadvantage. If it were a one-on-one fight, probably no one here could match him except the palace master!
Li Sisui struggled to maintain the Slow Sword Domain, only to find that the magical artifacts that had previously covered the sky had all turned around and returned. However, as long as one was in the Slow Sword Domain, no matter which direction one went, they would crawl at a snail's pace. Several cultivators with low cultivation levels were running out of energy and could not continue. They were about to lose their connection with the magical artifacts and were sweating profusely but were powerless to do anything about it!
Seeing this, Li Sisui thought for a moment and then contracted the slow sword domain, which had been expanded to its limit, to a space of about ten feet in front of him. Now that he knew the limit of the slow sword domain and that the opponent's magic weapon had turned around, continuing to force it would only result in mutual destruction. After all, he was fighting against many opponents, and he should conserve his cultivation as much as possible. With his current spiritual energy reserves, he was not yet at the point of being able to act recklessly...
As the Slow Sword Domain shrank, the magical artifacts of the Shenxiao Palace members immediately broke free, like fish escaping from a net, panicking and darting around. However, without the restraint of the Slow Sword Domain, the artifacts regained their speed, and hundreds of streaks of light flashed, disappearing into the cultivators' sleeves as if fleeing!
Seeing the other party's flustered appearance, Li Sisui couldn't help but laugh. If he had known that the other party cherished the magic weapon so much, he shouldn't have contracted the slow sword domain earlier. However, even if he missed the opportunity, Li Sisui didn't care. Unlike the other party's situation of being on high alert, Li Sisui's initiative to visit was more of a test of his own cultivation. As for the result, he certainly didn't care about the result, because the result was already determined!
"I am the person you are looking for. Why is it that I have personally delivered myself to your doorstep, but no one comes out to claim me? Summon your palace master or the person in charge. I only have one question, and I will leave after that!"
The people of Shenxiao Palace ignored Li Sisui's words and, under the command of the elder, immediately began to form an array. More than a hundred disciples scattered like sparks, forming an encirclement around Li Sisui. Then, they took out an array flag more than five feet long from their storage rings, chanted incantations, and waved the flag and shouted!
The sky above Li Sisui, which had been clear and cloudless, suddenly became overcast, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring. The hundred-odd disciples of Shenxiao Palace vanished into the clouds. Li Sisui looked up at the thick, tribulating clouds above him and gave a wry smile.
"Setting up another formation? Are you bullying me alone?"
A deafening roar filled the air, thunder rumbling overhead, as bright as day. The thunder was deafening and incessant, making it impossible to hear any other sounds. The constant thunder gave him a splitting headache. Fortunately, Li Sisui was protected by the Slow Sword Domain. A few streaks of lightning that struck him were transformed into slowly moving bolts of lightning after entering the Slow Sword Domain, which he easily dodged. The bolts of lightning passed through the Slow Sword Domain and blasted a large crater behind him, sending dust flying everywhere!
