Lou Xiaoyi could fly even with a mountain on his back!
This was one of the miraculous aspects of the Star Movement Technique!
The Star Movement Technique relied on two sources of speed. One was the base speed provided by magic power, while the other was the speed of the stars!
During the Foundation Establishment stage, a cultivator's ability to sense and understand the stars was limited, so the base speed was more important than the speed of the stars. But once they reached the Jin Dan stage, their ability to sense the stars would increase, and the two sources of speed would become equal. They complemented each other, and it was hard to say which one was more important.
At the Yuanying stage, the speed of the stars would be more important than the speed provided by the cultivator's own magic power. Finally, at the True Monarch stage, one's speed would be completely dependent on the speed provided by the stars. It wouldn't have much to do with the cultivator's own magic power.
Therefore, to the current Lou Xiaoyi, the source of his speed was the Celestial Evasion. Therefore, compared to the thousands of stars that he could sense, a mountain was nothing. Let alone a mountain, even if an entire realm pressed down on him, he would still be able to maintain half of the speed provided by the stars!
In other words, he could still maintain sixty to seventy percent of his normal speed. It would be difficult for him to wield his sword, but it wouldn't be so bad that he couldn't even take a single step forward.
"Hold on!"
Soothing Breeze was very generous towards his junior apprentice-brother. Lian Cheng instructed. They were all veterans amongst the Jindan cultivators. They had spent hundreds of years cultivating, and given that they were unable to make any further breakthroughs in their cultivation bases, the only thing they could do was to dabble in magical techniques to the extreme. In particular, Daoist Three Purities focused on how to control sword cultivators.
The Mountain Pressure was very powerful, but it wasn't their only method of restriction. When they saw the Swordsman use the Star Movement Technique, they had a feeling that the Mountain Pressure wouldn't be fully effective. The reason why they used it was to test whether the Swordsman had a way to deal with the mystery. But from the looks of it, he didn't!
No Swordsman would be willing to have his speed suppressed for a long period of time. This would bring about unnecessary risks. If he had a similar method of dealing with the mystery, he would've used it instead of hiding it. What was the point of hiding it when they were already at the end?
The restrictions would only increase layer by layer! Mountain Pressure was just an appetizer.
The Swordsman's speed slowed down, and the three Spellcasters finally had a chance to use their spells. However, they mainly used the low-power instantaneous spells. This was because the Swordsman was very cunning. Every time one of them prepared a powerful forbidden spell, he would always be able to escape from the Divine Sense's lock-on.
This fellow had seven flying swords, so there must be some left outside in case he needed to use the Heavenly Sword Ruler. Moreover, because he had a preliminary understanding of the Five Elements, he could more keenly detect the nature of the Dharma cultivators' Forbidden Arts, as well as the timing to activate them.
So slippery!
After fighting the three Spell Cultivators on the offensive and on the defensive, his speed was greatly reduced and he slowly fell into a passive position. However, it was hard to say when this passive position would turn into a losing situation!
The more successful things were, the more they had to be on guard against a sword cultivator's last-ditch effort. Gentle Breeze and the other two understood this principle. Thus, they advanced step by step, advancing steadily. They didn't expect to finish the job in a single strike!
Dafa seized the opportunity when the Swordsman was attacking Lian Cheng and cast a barrier within its effective range, Siege!
However, the Swordsman's reaction was beyond his expectations. Before the barrier was fully formed, the Swordsman led the way with a flying sword and instantly broke through the barrier. They were very familiar with Xuanyuan's martial arts and had studied it for hundreds of years. How could they not know that this was one of the Swordsman's brilliant techniques to break through barriers, Transfiguration!
The Swordsman had Transfiguration, so it was very difficult for him to be trapped by similar barriers. The reason was simple. No matter how high the Dharma cultivator's cultivation was, it was impossible for him to use a three-dimensional cage like a barrier to trap the Swordsman who had concentrated all his power into one point!
However, it was fine. This was just one of the many methods the Dharma cultivators had tried.
After flying for a few miles, when the Swordsman's attack landed on Dafa, Daoist Lian Cheng waved his hand and released his own barrier, Goose Feather Collar.
Millions of goose-feather-like objects were scattered around the Sword Cultivators. Unlike the sturdy barrier around the city, the goose-feather-like objects took the path of using softness to overcome hardness. Those goose-feather-like objects actually had another name, Qianjun Leaves!
Every Qianjun Leaf was refined by a Dharma cultivator and weighed a thousand pounds. It could also block a Dharma cultivator's Divine Sense. Although a thousand pounds was nothing to Jin Dan, it could not overcome the advantage of quantity. The Qianjun Leaves did not possess any offensive properties, but they were densely packed together, making it impossible for an opponent to dodge!
If he did not move, he would be attacked by the Dharma cultivators. If he moved, he would be stained with a large number of goose feathers, greatly affecting his Divine Sense and Divine Sense. This was also the best way to deal with the Swordsman's Transfiguration.
However, the Swordsman still managed to escape from the Goose Feather Collar without a single goose feather on him …
Unexpected problems arose! It was also a secret technique that Xuanyuan was famous for!
Gentle Breeze sighed. What a scoundrel. Although he had not formed his Gold Core for long, his choice of swordsmanship was very comprehensive!
He was not in a hurry! No matter, he could take it slow. The longer they dragged it out, the closer they would be to victory! He had been holding back all this time because he knew that no Swordsman would die kneeling! The more the Swordsman did not explode, the more it meant that he was preparing for a life and death struggle!
He needed to control the situation at the most crucial moment. Three peak Jin Dan cultivators were surrounding a Swordsman who had just formed his Gold Core. If he managed to pull one of them away in the end, he would not be able to face the world!
This was the difference in philosophy between the Dharma Vein and the Sword Vein. If the three Swordsman were here, they would only think of how to suppress the Dharma cultivator's ultimate move and use the method of a storm! They would not hold back in this kind of situation!
Below Lou Xiaoyi was the dark green Imperial Oyster Reef Plate. This was the battlefield he had planned. It was time to begin!
The seven flying swords in the sky gathered together and formed the Seven Stars Sword Formation. After ten years of continuous surging, the gap between the seven Sword Spirits had shrunk infinitely. The further the Four Seasons Sword Spirit advanced, the harder it was to break through. This gave the other Sword Spirits a precious opportunity to catch up. There were no longer any Sword Spirits that were weaker. In time, he estimated that the Big Dipper Sword Spirit would be the first to surpass the Four Seasons Sword Spirit. This was the inevitable result of the Star Technique!
Once the sword formation was formed, the attack and defense were balanced. The sky was filled with sword shadows! In an instant, the disadvantage was reversed and there was even a faint hint of suppression! However, at the same time, he could no longer control his sword as if it was flying. The Warp Sword Lineage and the Yi Sword Lineage were contradictory to each other! Both of them could fight against many, but the Warp Sword Lineage relied on speed, while the Yi Sword Lineage relied on the sword formation. Two directions!
He hadn't used the sword array all this time because he knew that his sword array could easily deal with one of the three. However, if the three of them worked together, and they were of the same origin, their cooperation would be perfect. It would be very difficult for him to achieve his goal. Therefore, he needed to add a backup plan for himself. Even if he failed, he would have a chance to turn the tables!
