Seeing the Heaven-Binding Array solidify once more, Li Sisui smirked coldly. "They really won't shed a tear until they see the coffin," he thought, and then sarcastically remarked:
"Enough with the nonsense. Since that's the case, let's just let the facts speak for themselves. To show my sincerity, I'll reluctantly stop here for now. Ten breaths later, I'll kill you without mercy!"
I have three swords, one the slowest and one the fastest!
nineteen……"
Whoosh! Ah!
As soon as he finished speaking, a disciple in the Heaven-Trapping Array covered his ears and fled in terror, crying out in pain. Guang Bai, who was in charge of the array, narrowed his eyes and felt a chill in his heart. This person was indeed not easy to deal with. He did not expect that he could see through the array's cover and locate the true position of the disciple in the array in such a short time. How could this be possible?
The Heaven-Binding Formation is indeed extraordinary, and it is reasonable that no one has been able to break it yet. After quickly scanning it through the Slow Sword Domain, Li Si couldn't help but admire it. This formation is based on the cultivation and spiritual power of thousands of disciples, and is formed by guiding and gathering them through a special method!
Flexible and adaptable, able to gather and disperse at will, with no obvious weaknesses, coupled with the endless nature of the formation, it is truly troublesome to deal with. Li Sisui has already vaguely felt that the speed of his cultivation recovery is gradually slowing down, and it is clear that the full power of the Heaven-Binding Formation is being revealed one by one.
Although this formation is not strong in attack, it is powerful in its continuous nature. If you can't defeat it, it will wear you down. As long as you can't wipe out all the disciples in one blow, you will unconsciously sink deeper and deeper and be unable to extricate yourself. It is truly frustrating. However, after the test just now, Li Sisui felt that although this formation does not seem to have a formation eye, there are actually traces of the formation eye!
Guang Bai, who personally presided over the grand formation, was the absolute core of the formation before them. However, he was quite cunning, concealing his cultivation and special characteristics, and blending into the group of disciples. It was difficult to distinguish who was an ordinary disciple and who was Guang Bai from the thousands of blue dots. Helpless, he had to find another way.
A strong fortress often crumbles from within. The weakness of cultivators, or rather, the weakness of human nature, boils down to two words: fear of death!
When faced with a choice between personal and collective interests, only a minority can resolutely sacrifice their personal interests, which is why they are often praised—after all, very few people can truly do it…
"Eight, arms..."
"Seven, thighs..."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Ah! Ah!
While Li Sisui leisurely counted down, he didn't forget to apply pressure layer by layer, clearly targeting specific parts of the body. As screams of agony rose and fell, the original firm belief of the disciples of Taichu Academy began to crumble quietly...
"Disciples, stay calm! Do not listen to the words of this scoundrel. He just stumbled upon the perfect opportunity. Don't panic, continue to stabilize the Heaven-Trapping Array!"
Seeing the Heaven-Binding Formation fluctuate, and the disciples within it were in turmoil with cries of agony, Guang Bai could no longer sit still. Although his mind was shaken and he didn't know how Li Sisui had located the disciples, he remained calm on the surface, his voice loud and authoritative, displaying the power of a sect leader!
Under Guang Bai's stern words, the riot was quickly quelled. The injured disciples silently withdrew from the formation and healed themselves. Fortunately, Li Sisui had no intention of killing, and most of them only suffered minor scratches and were not seriously injured. However, even so, a seed of fear had been quietly sown.
"Three, the shoulders..."
"Secondly, cough cough, I admire your fearlessness in the face of death. However, life and death are separated by a single thought. Have you thought this through? After ten breaths, what awaits you will not be mere superficial wounds!"
"First, I have never met any of you before, and we have no grudges against each other. I had no intention of killing you, but the opportunity is in front of you. Don't blame me for being ruthless in the end!"
Li Sisui frowned deeply. The reaction of these disciples from Taichu Academy was far beyond his expectations. None of them seemed to be afraid of death. There was nothing he could do but bite the bullet and go for it. However, he was still somewhat afraid of killing people.
Although the rules of this world are simple and brutal, they are still living, breathing human beings with flesh and blood. In the blink of an eye, they are cut down like grass. How are they any different from the tyrannical rulers of the past?
As the ten-breath countdown ended, complete silence fell within the Heaven-Trapping Array. Although the screams abruptly ceased, an even larger shadow loomed over everyone in the Taichu Academy, including Guangbai—the fear of death!
The sword of death hangs high above their heads, and everyone is too terrified to stand!
An invisible pressure and unknown fear swept over them like an avalanche, making it hard for everyone to breathe. If someone were to be beheaded at this moment, they wouldn't have to endure such high pressure. But after the countdown ended, nothing else happened. Everyone was trembling with fear, afraid of becoming the unlucky one. The suffocating pressure reached its maximum at this moment!
"I have three swords, one is the slowest, and one..."
Li Sisui's ethereal voice slowly spread out, like an unparalleled chill seeping from the depths of the earth, making those who heard it feel icy cold all over, their spines tingling, as if a cold finger was slowly moving upwards along their backs!
The incantation that Li Sisui shouted out in desperation became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Before he could even finish reciting it, the stagnant and viscous mist around him gradually cleared, and then the sounds of Taichu Academy disciples running and shouting rushed over:
"Don't kill me! I'm quitting!"
"I'm quitting too, please go easy on me!"
"Spare me..."
Guang Bai's face turned pale, and he said with a mixture of shock and anger:
"All of you, return to the academy! Disobeying the academy head and violating the academy rules means certain death! All of you, get back here..."
Whoosh!
Guang Bai suddenly felt a chill between his brows. A half-long sword with intricate and exquisite patterns appeared abruptly in front of him, only a hair's breadth away from his brow. If the swordsman had just made a thought, Guang Bai's head might have a transparent hole in it!
