Chapter 361: Uncovering the Secret

The cold white blade slowly emerged from the hazy fog. This was already a chilling scene. What was even more bizarre was that it had the agile posture of a dragon snake. When it was stared at by the head without facial features, a chill rose directly from the heart.

Pei Ye stared at it with his sword, realizing that this was the characteristic of the [Starworm]. The creator made limited and appropriate modifications to it, turning it from a worm into a snake, which was indeed more in line with the physical properties of the sword.

At this time, it climbed up the cliff and stared at Pei Ye directly.

But it didn't look like it was going to attack. Its huge and light body swam up, coiled on the cliff for six or seven feet, and slowly shook its head towards Pei Ye.

What was it asking for?

Pei Ye paused and tried to slowly hand over the soul-stealing bead from Xi Tianji's waist, but there was no response, as if this was not what it wanted. Pei Ye was about to take it back, and the next moment it suddenly pounced on the boy's waist.

The sword screamed, and Pei Ye, who had been alert all the time, quickly jumped up and swept back three feet.

The three people who were looking out of the tunnel screamed at the same time, but the sword dragon ignored them and continued to go towards Pei Ye. The moment the boy swept back, it also suddenly accelerated its speed and approached his chest in the blink of an eye.

Nearly two hundred swords thrust several feet at the same time, and the air twisted into clouds and mist, and large pieces of air were squeezed and cut into sharp winds.

With such momentum, facing such a giant without flesh and blood, the boy obviously could not show his magical sword skills anymore. Seeing that there was no way to retreat, he stood still and pointed.

Then he seemed to realize that Liuli seemed to be a little too prepared.

He simply couldn't hold back.

The clouds flew and the feathers shattered, and a straight, sharp line was drawn from it. It rushed straight up and penetrated through the head of the sword dragon. The sound of metal and iron suddenly became one!

The sword tips in this dragon stream were originally facing forward. When Liuli rushed into it, these demon swords moved over to block it. So in the clear sound of collision, one sword after another lost control and flipped, and the whole sword dragon suddenly became a mess.

Liuli was not shaken at all. It even swept a winding path along the direction of the sword dragon's body, passing through the hundreds of swords from head to tail.

Pei Ye seemed to see Zhao Zilong, who "sword light like frost and horse like flying" at Changbanpo, because Liuli did not wait at all after rushing out, but rushed down again impatiently, and once again from tail to head, swept through the sword flipping again, and the chaotic collision of metal and iron seemed to be a drum to cheer it up.

Pei Ye felt a little excited from it, as if it was the first time to meet so many "kinds". Liuli passed through it again and again, and collided with each sword. This sword stream that could cut people into pieces was like a happy bath for it.

Until there was no sword under the control of this sword flow, the sword dragon was completely in chaos, twisting on the cliff, combing the sword bodies that were turned out of place in its body one by one.

Liuli then flew back and circled around Pei Ye, like a clinging kitten.

Pei Ye couldn't help but smile, holding the hilt and gently stroking the red heart under the sword, which gave him a slight tremor.

These days, either there were dangers or he was in a bad mood. Liuli rarely showed a joyful look in front of him, and he rarely lay on the table and poked it back and forth with curiosity and love like when they first got along.

Now the famous sword has spirit, [Zhan Xin Liuli] is even more sensitive to people's hearts. As soon as the boy's mind opened up a little, it stuck to him.

Pei Ye let it go with a smile and walked towards the sword dragon. At this time, he knew what it had just stared at.

——Hanging on his waist was the older, fully loaded Soul-Grabbing Pearl.

Pei Ye stopped in front of it. It was not seriously injured or died like a living creature. It just slowly reorganized its body.

Pei Ye lowered his head and squatted on one knee, holding down a temporarily powerless sword. Unlike the extremely simple sword that [Zhao You] saw that night, they were all made of Kongtong Sword. This one even had traces of use.

Pei Ye ignited the Chi Fire and let it slowly flow over the sword body. Under the dark blue reflection, in addition to the hammer-forged patterns, another subtle and dense outline gradually emerged. Pei Ye quickly recognized this familiar shape, which was the bronze array pattern derived from the star worm.

Pei Ye had seen this set of patterns many times and had gradually understood its function.

As mentioned before, it is the place where all the abilities of the star worm, except for the characteristic of "being alive", are stored and condensed. How can a piece of bronze absorb star power and move it; how can it shuttle through the mountain and sense the surroundings. Even without the spirituality of [Xitingxin], [Buried Star Tomb] itself is already a rare mountain protection array in the world.

Then this sword flow really has all the characteristics of star worms.

It is not a simple copy and misappropriation. Even if all the details of the pattern are delivered, few people in the world can reproduce a [Buried Star Tomb], because in the engraving array, a simple change in quality and shape will affect the outline of the array pattern, not to mention transforming it and applying it to these many scattered swords.

First of all, Pei Ye couldn't think of how these many swords could be connected and act in unison since they were not cast into a whole like star worms.

However, in addition to this main pattern, there is also a strange part that is cleverly connected to it. Pei Ye frowned and identified it. He had never seen it before, so he wrote it down carefully with [Que Shou].

The new array pattern represents new characteristics. Qu Zhuduo designed such a part. What is its function?

What is the extra ability of the sword dragon compared to the star worm?

Pei Ye frowned, and only when the sword stream showed signs of revival did his eyes flash. He reached out to take a sword from it, but the sword dragon suddenly rose up and swept down the cliff at a very fast speed.

"Liuli! Knock one down!"

The clear sword body swept up, but the next moment the sword dragon plunged into the cliff and disappeared. Liuli crashed into a big pit, but nothing could be seen in the flying rocks.

Pei Ye then remembered that Zhang Meiqing didn't seem to have kept one of the swords.

But what he got today was enough. Pei Ye called back Liuli and turned to look at the three people at the entrance of the mountain tunnel.

In the front hall of the law enforcement, all four people were bandaged and settled.

There were not many people left, and at this time, everyone's face was solemn, and several people had gone in different directions. The bodies of Xi Tianji and Jiang Yitong in Houya have been confirmed. The remaining people are now almost all gathered around the wounded hall, looking at the young man lying on the bed with a tense expression from time to time.

"One hundred and eighty-nine swords," Zhang Jingbi murmured in astonishment, "that is the number of all the sword moves in "Feng Shan Ming"."

A sword technique may have many moves, and a sword move is often not explained by a stab or a swing.

The more wonderful the sword moves, the more subtle and exquisite sword details there are, such as [Holding a New Corpse] in "Yu Fei Sword" and [Piercing the Sun] in "Bai Hong Pian". They are only a straight line in the eyes, but behind them are many turns, changes, and movements. When released, they can become this simple and straight shocking sweep.

This is actually a kind of universal law of swordsmanship. When all the complexity is simplified, it is a sword.

One sword change is a movement. The meaning of Zhang Jingbi's words is that the seven sword moves in "Feng Shan Ming" are built up by one hundred and eighty-nine sword movements.

Pei Ye remained silent. What Huansilou was doing was becoming more and more clear, but their purpose and the person who manipulated everything were still shrouded in mystery.

"Xi Tianji and this Jiang Yitong," Pei Ye looked at the people in the Law Enforcement Hall who were staring at him, and finally asked the most sensitive question, "Are they both the true disciples of Yuanwu Peak?"
