156 The power of the sword array

Before Wang Shen could think again, several remnant swords had already broken through the lake in front of him and shot in the direction where the two of them were, Wen Jiu, who was walking in front, looked back and bore the brunt, but he seemed to be accustomed to the changes here, and the big turtle shell in his hand blocked these remnant swords with sword qi as soon as he lifted it.

Wang Shen hid behind Wen Jiuhui and followed, they were still on the edge of this sword pool, so the number of remnant swords facing was not very large, all the flying in front of them were blocked by Wen Jiuhui with the big turtle shell, and the one sword and two swords that came out behind him were solved by Wang Shen casually.

As the two of them continued to get closer to the center of the sword pool, Wang Shen found that there were more and more remnant swords floating around him, different from the remnant swords scattered around the edge of the sword pool, not only did the remnant sword contained in the center of the sword pool be stronger, but even the sword qi on the blade seemed to be particularly strong.

Although there were not much abnormalities at the bottom of the lake from the frozen surface of the sword pool, at the bottom of the sword pool, Wang Shen and Wen Jiuhui, who were there in person, were shocked by the scene in front of them.

In front of the two of them, countless remnant swords swirled and flew in the lake, like schools of fish competing for food, stirring the lake under the ice into an undercurrent that could not be calm, these remnant swords all carried their own different sword qi, some sword qi was strong and violent, every time the shuttle and flying could break the lake in half, while some sword qi was calm and restrained, and the light dance and slow movement rolled up a long-lasting water vortex.

At this moment, Wang Shen no longer dared to release his mental power indiscriminately, for fear of alarming these remnant swords, he followed closely behind Wen Jiuhui, and walked forward step by step with the turtle shell. The two of them can still walk at the bottom of the sword pool, it is completely because of this turtle shell, Wang Shen now knows that Wen Jiuhui's old scheming, although the essence of this thousand-year-old turtle shell has been refined by Wen Jiuhui, but this turtle shell itself is still a rare artifact. Especially in the surging lake of this dark tide, this turtle shell actually has the effect of avoiding water, and the turbulent underwater undercurrent brought up by the sword qi will instantly calm down as if it has lost its strength as soon as it gets close to this turtle shell, and moreover, this turtle shell has stopped many sword attacks for the two of them, and it is also a loss that the thousand-year-old turtle shell is extremely hard, otherwise if it is replaced with an iron shield, I am afraid that it will be stabbed into a thousand holes and it will be difficult to continue.

The increasingly dense sword qi attacks from the front made the speed of the two of them very slow, Wen Jiuhui's arm holding the turtle shell had changed left and right several times, and Wang Shen who was following behind him was also uncomfortable, although most of the residual swords attacking the two came from the front, but behind the turtle shell was not absolutely safe, and from time to time a few strange sword qi would emerge so that he did not dare to take it lightly.

Finally, just as the two of them entered the center of the sword pool, Wen Jiuhui stopped. The reason why he stopped moving forward was not because he had reached his destination, but because he was now unable to move an inch, because a sword formation suddenly appeared in front of the turtle shell, and countless dense remnant swords roared like a storm towards the turtle shield in Wen Jiuhui's hand.

Although Wen Jiuhui's cultivation was good, and he had a thousand-year-old turtle shell in his hand to block the sword, the sword qi contained in these remnant swords gathered into a small amount and condensed into waves of huge force that impacted his arm carrying the turtle shell. Wang Shen saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly freed up a hand to help Wen Jiuhui withstand the huge force from the turtle shell, but in this way, the remnant swords flying behind him made Wang Shen a little overwhelmed, and according to the current situation of the two of them, it is still difficult to move an inch, if they continue to stalemate like this, I am afraid that there will be no possibility of moving forward when the strength of the two is exhausted.

At the critical moment, a trace of determination flashed in the eyes of Wen Jiuhui, who was in front of him, and he took advantage of the slowdown of the sword rain to take out a small red porcelain bottle from his arms, and then poured all the contents of the bottle into his mouth at an extremely fast speed. Wang Shen didn't know what Wen Jiuhui had eaten, but he found that after a while, Wen Jiuhui's body was filled with an extremely strong heat, and after the heat surged, Wen Jiuhui's whole person seemed to have regained his strength, and his arms suddenly moved forward in the endless sword rain.

Wang Shen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly protected the two of them, and followed Wen Jiuhui through the middle of the lake where the remnants of the sword were most dense.

However, as soon as the two of them crossed the center of the lake, before Wang Shen could breathe a sigh, Wen Jiuhui in front of him suddenly shook his body, and when he opened his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of blood and dyed the surrounding lake red. Wang Shen was shocked, and hurriedly helped Wen Jiuhui to hold the turtle shield, at this time he glanced at Wen Jiuhui, and found that his face was extremely pale, and his eyes were even more bloodshot, which looked extremely terrifying.

Wen Jiuhui wanted to continue to grit his teeth and insist, but Wang Shen, who was shocked, grabbed him, and at the same time put a breath of vitality into his back to help him suppress the internal injuries that erupted. Wen Jiu hesitated slightly, a wry smile appeared on his face, he didn't insist anymore, but carried the turtle shell to a reef, and then sat down with his back against the reef to breathe, Wang Shen also took the opportunity to erect the turtle shell on the reef to block the remnant sword that fell above the heads of the two, and used the peach stick in his hand to help him protect the Dharma and block the attack of the remnant sword around him.

According to Wen Jiuhui's original plan, the two need to continue to the east after crossing the center of the lake, and there is still about a mile or so to reach the destination, and then to the east of the sword pool, the strong crossbow purchased by Wen Jiuhui with a lot of money will break through the ice under the lake, as long as the surface of the sword pond lake breaks a hole, these restless residual swords will converge towards the gap, and then a situation will be formed where ten thousand swords will break the ice and open the lake.

However, when Wang Shen followed Wen Jiu back through the center of the lake, he faintly found that the ten thousand swords under the lake had a tendency to converge to the west, he didn't feel that these remnant swords sunk in the sword pool were completely spontaneously flying in the water, he always felt that there seemed to be an invisible force controlling the movement of these remnant swords in the dark.

If these remnant swords broke through the gap on the west side of the sword pond and went out of the water when he and Wen Jiuhui rushed to the east of the lake, then Wen Jiuhui's plans and arrangements for so many years would probably fall short. Because the person Wen Jiuhui had to deal with was none other than the Bamboo Sword Monarch, one of the four great sword monarchs of Wushan, and the sword house where this Bamboo Sword Monarch lived was to the east of the Sword Pond.

The key to Wen Jiuhui's plan is to control the direction of the Ten Thousand Swords Open Lake, and only when the Ten Thousand Swords in the lake choose to open the lake in the east of the Bamboo Sword Monarch's residence, he will have the possibility of revenge in the future.

Before entering the water, Wen Jiuhui had already told Wang Shen all about his plan, and Wang Shen also knew exactly what he was going to do. But the current situation was different from what he had imagined at the beginning, Wen Jiuhui thought that with the thousand-year-old turtle shield in his hand, he could pass through the center of the lake safely, but it was also the first time he had gone deep into the center of this sword pool, and he didn't expect that the power of this ten thousand swords would be terrifying.

Looking at Wen Jiuhui, who was pale and crumbling on the side, and then looking at the sword qi and water flowing above his head that were constantly surging to the west, Wang Shen hesitated for a long time, finally gritted his teeth, sat down cross-legged, and then released all his constricted mental power.
