Chapter 105: The Law of Sword Arrays

  Everyone turned their heads to look at the Heart-to-Heart Reflecting Stone, and Xiao Baiyi's divine sense condensed, instantly finding Li Ruo's location. There were fifty or sixty people above, and Li Ruo's face was strained as he climbed up the mountain with difficulty.

  Having seen this, Elder Xiao's heart felt somewhat heavy.

  Although the initial results don't represent anything, Li Nian's knife falling behind by so much isn't a good thing either.

  Li Ran's knife climbed along the mountain road, feeling that every step forward increased pressure, and the higher he went, the more difficult it was. His whole body's bones were pressed to make a cracking sound, and the essence of his body was rapidly circulating, only then did he have the strength to slowly take another step forward.

  "There is a boulder three zhang ahead, I must climb up there!"

  Li Ran gritted his teeth and set a goal in his mind, moving step by step with great difficulty. The veins on his forehead throbbed slightly, and the sweat dripped down to wet his temples.

  This big comparison was indeed difficult, under the sword array's pressure, Li Ran's nine-layered power suddenly seemed inadequate. At first, relying on a fierce momentum, he chased to around 50-60 names, but now he clearly felt his heart racing and breathing getting shorter, his speed getting slower and slower. In the Golden Order, he watched helplessly as one person after another slowly caught up from behind.

  Xiao Tingfeng's waist twisted and turned, stretching the gentleness of the wind to its limits. The heavy pressure acted on the wind, and the lightness of the wind dissipated about half of it. Xiao Tingfeng took another step forward, looking towards the Golden Command, he had already caught up to 13th place.

  Overjoyed, the past two years of diligent practice have led to a deeper understanding of the wind, and the results are indeed remarkable. Looking back at the Golden Command, I see Li Fenger slowly wandering outside the top 50 or 60, pursing his lips in a faint smile:

  "Brother Burning Knife, this time I've finally regained my face."

  Li Ran's sweat dripped onto the mountain rocks, his hands grasping a boulder tightly as he inched forward with great effort, panting heavily. Just then, the dense fog beside him rippled slightly, and when he turned to look, Shan Zhi had already stepped past him from behind.

  Li Ran's eyes widened in surprise.

  Shan Zhi's footsteps didn't stop, walking was difficult but every step was solid.

  One step, surpassed Li Ran's knife.

  Two steps forward, Shan Zhi walked far away.

  San Bu turned his head slowly and smiled slightly at Li Nian's knife, nodding his head lightly and saying in a low voice: "Add oil!"

  He continued walking forward and soon disappeared into the thick fog.

  Shan Zhi had been practicing for many years, and his tenfold strength was already solidly established. It was expected that he would surpass Li Ranno in the great comparison, but Shan Zhi couldn't hide the pride in his heart. He turned back to take another look, seeing Li Ranno struggling forward, his figure gradually disappearing into the thick fog, a faint smile involuntarily appearing at the corner of his mouth.

  In the distance, Xiao Baiyi saw that Lian Shan Zhitou had surpassed Li Ruoze, and his heart suddenly felt disappointed, and he secretly sighed.

  The long-bearded man beside him couldn't help but praise: "Bai Yi, the potential of your mountain's wisdom is also quite extraordinary. Look at his climbing posture, steady and steady, yet with a hint of mystery. I feel that this child will have great achievements in the future, at least before entering the Divine Movement, he can advance to the top 30 or 40 on the Golden Sword List."

  Xiao Bai Yi nodded: "Shan Zhi this child I have been paying more attention to cultivating, should be an outstanding talent in the future."

  Although he said so, Xiao Baiyi had a bad taste in his heart. Seeing Li Ran's knife slowing down for no reason, even taking a step and resting for a while, more people behind him surpassed him, and he actually fell to one hundredth place, Xiao Baiyi couldn't help but frown:

  "No way, this kid Fuefuki shouldn't be just that strong."

  Li Ranno was like carrying a small mountain on his back, and with each step he took, the stones on the mountain increased by one, until later he was panting and his strength was no longer sufficient.

  Suddenly, Li Ran's heart moved and he tightly furrowed his brow.

  "No, the sect's biennial grand competition shouldn't just be about comparing brute strength. If that were the case, finding a stone tablet for each person to test their skills would be enough. It seems there's something crucial I haven't noticed."

  His mind focused on his own body, gradually casting aside distractions, Li Ran's knife speed slowed down, and with each step he took out, he quietly grasped the oppressive feeling of the surrounding pressure.

  In the mountains, Li Ruo Knife crawled step by step, his sword array pressing down with overwhelming force. With each step forward, the pressure increased, weighing heavily on Li Ruo Knife to the point of suffocation, but with each step forward, Li Ruo Knife's eyes gleamed brighter.

  Step by step, he felt the pressure of the sword array, and a clearer understanding surged up in his mind. Taking another step forward, Li Ran's knife seemed to flash with a ray of light, and finally discovered that such pressure had a flow rate, and there was a rule to be found.

  Just as several streams of water converge at one point, the upper and lower sides are all surging with undercurrents, but the undercurrents also have their own rules.

  But what kind of law is it?

  Little by little climb, little by little understand.

  Comparable to the divine movement period's primordial spirit, Li Farn's perception of the heavens and earth's momentum was several times clearer than those gray-clothed disciples. The five-fold wave crest and trough of the secret rhyme itself was a kind of heavenly intent, the secret rhyme in his heart subtly fluctuating, making Li Farn's understanding of that heavenly wave power far more sensitive than others.

  Every step forward brings a brand new understanding, and every step forward brings an epiphany of that law, as if suddenly enlightened.

  Suddenly, Li Ran's eyes lit up completely, his shoulders shook, and he moved rapidly.

  Xiao Bai Yi frowned tightly, staring at the Heart-to-Heart Reflection Stone. The long-bearded man beside him shook his head and smiled again, sighing softly: "Alas, this year's Grand Competition, all positions are just as we guessed, really not a single talented person to dazzle us, it seems that dark horses are not so easy to find."

  Just as Fang said this, Xiao Baiyi suddenly let out a soft "hmm".

  The long-bearded man's expression changed and he hastily asked: "Bai Yi, what's wrong?"

  Xiao Baiyi smiled and stretched out his hand towards Li Ruo's knife position, saying softly: "Look at Li Ruo...".

  The long-bearded man quickly focused his attention, and was also stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise in his eyes. The two saw that Li Ran's shoulders were lightly swaying at this moment, as if a fish was swimming lightly, his body twisted, and he took a step out several feet away, his shoulders swayed again, and he took another step out with ease.

  Among the increasingly high mountain peaks, under the increasingly strong sword array pressure, Li Ran's knife speed picked up in the blink of an eye, overtaking one gray-clothed disciple after another from behind.

  "Huh? Haha......"

  The long-bearded man's face suddenly broke into a smile, nodding repeatedly: "Not bad, not bad, this Li Ran kid has actually grasped the momentum of the sword array, understands how to use the flowing rules of the sword array to advance, haha, this kid is indeed a genius, Bai Yi, you've picked up a treasure."

  Several other Taoist immortals also heard the voice and looked towards Li Fenger, feeling a little surprised. Another person laughed and turned his head to look at Chang Xiao: "Brother Changxiao, didn't you say that no one could dazzle your eyes? Look, this person has appeared."

  The long-bearded man nodded repeatedly: "I said before that Li Ran's knife had potential, and with good cultivation, it would shine brightly. Being able to comprehend the fluid rules of sword array pressure in a big competition, over the years, only a few gray-clothed ones can achieve this."

  Xiao Baiyi watched as Li Fenger chased after each of them one by one, feeling a great deal of relief in his heart.

  Li Ran's heart was excited, his shoulders shook, and he took a strange step forward, borrowing the sword array's pressure to move forward through the gaps in the air, and suddenly the pressure eased a lot. He slowly chased after him from behind, overtaking one by one.

  I don't know how many people I've chased after, but a sturdy gray figure appeared in front of me from the thick fog.

  Yan Zhi was climbing with great difficulty at this moment, his face pale and his teeth clenched.

  He knew this was the moment to challenge his own strength and potential, he wanted to push his body to the limit, squeeze himself to the maximum extent, sweat dripping down, Shan Zhi didn't care, one step, two steps...

  Suddenly feeling a thick fog surging around him, a figure emerged from behind and surpassed him. Subconsciously turning his head to look, Yamato was startled in an instant.

  He himself was having a very difficult time trudging along, but Li Rou's knife seemed to be moving forward with great ease, his body advancing as if it had a strange rhythm, just like - a fish swimming in the water.

  With a whoosh, she overtook him from not far away and didn't forget to turn her head back to smile at him, shouting softly: "Come on!"

  Yama was shocked and stunned on the spot.

  Li Ruo Dao surpassed him, and he wouldn't think much of it, after all, that was individual strength. But Li Ruo Dao actually surpassed him with such a relaxed attitude, and Shan Zhi suddenly felt a little unbalanced in his heart.

  "Why? Why? What trick did that kid Lee No use this time? Why was he able to surpass me so easily?"

  Always suppressed under Li Ruo's halo, Shan Zhi had an urge to roar.
