Chapter 23, the old man of a thousand swords

Just this sentence made Ye Bai stunned.

"Three hundred years ago, this old man actually stayed in this space for three hundred years, how is this possible?"

The old man looked at Ye Bai's look of disbelief, and couldn't help but smile slightly, and said: "Don't be so surprised, this sword stone is the inheritance token of our sword gate, which can delay the dissipation of human souls and keep it for hundreds of years, but ......"

Speaking of this, the old man's voice was slightly bitter, and after a pause, he said: "Once you enter, you can no longer go out, you can only maintain the existence of the soul body, in fact, it is no different from dying." ”

The old man showed a hint of reluctance, his eyes were confused, revealing a kind of sadness: "Back then, if it wasn't for an accident, I was besieged by the enemy, I was ambushed, ** dissipated, I could only enter this sword stone for refuge, otherwise, how could I make such a decision, and you would not have seen me here today." ”

Ye Bai's eyes were wide-eyed, looking at the old man, his mouth was so open that he could almost stuff an egg.

"Soul body, sword gate, sword stone, three hundred years ago, what kind of mess are these?"

"This old man turned out to be the existence of a soul body, no wonder he could float in the air, formless and substantial. Thinking of this, Ye Bai's eyes couldn't help but carry a trace of pity.

The old man seemed to see through the meaning of his gaze, but he only smiled slightly, and said, "Come with me!"

Ye Bai had no choice but to follow him, at this time, he was confused, and he wanted to solve the problem in his stomach, even if the old man didn't let him follow, he had to go over and explore the realm by himself.

Finally, half an hour later, the two came to a slightly strange space, which seemed to be the center of the entire purple mist, after coming here, the old man stood up straight, revealing a trace of reluctance, Ye Bai did not dare to disturb, after a while, the old man's voice sounded again, muttering: "Child, don't you want to know who I am, don't you want to know what place this is, don't you want to know what the sword skill just now is? Then let me, one by one, slowly tell you the answer!"

When Ye Bai heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and the whole person immediately became excited, and said respectfully: "Please speak!"

The old man's voice became ethereal, and it seemed to come hundreds of years ago, and the whole person seemed to be stupid, and said with a memory: "Since I was born, I have been named after the sword, and it has been like this for more than a hundred years, so you can call me the old man of the sword, or you can call me the old man of a thousand swords!"

Ye Bai nodded, didn't dare to disturb, only listened to the old man continue to say: "In ancient times, there was a sword gate, with the sword as the life, the sword as the sky, the sword as the father, worship the sword, sacrifice the sword, and even use the blood of his own life to raise the sword, cast the sword, refine the sword, treat the sword like a wife and a son, never abandon it for the rest of his life, everything is based on the sword. ”

"Kid, do you know what kind of sword skill the ten thousand swords were hanging in the air just now?"

Ye Bai shook his head, but when he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel a creep, the coercion of the ten thousand swords hanging in the air was diverging together, it was really terrifying, if he used it to fight the enemy, he didn't even need to make a move, he could make a person's confidence collapse, the sword qi dissipated, and he became a wasted person!

Obviously, the old man just now was just to test him, and he didn't give full play to the true strength of the pressure of the ten thousand swords, otherwise, with Ye Bai, a small Xuan Xiu who was not in the realm of the mysterious, he was afraid that he would not be able to carry it for a moment, and he would be crushed into powder by the power of the ten thousand swords.

The old man's expression was indifferent, but there was a slight hint of solemnity, and he said, "That's the sword array!"

Sighing slightly, the old man continued: "People only know swordsmanship, sword skills, and swordsmanship, but they don't know that in the cultivation of swords, there is one of the most secret and powerful, but at the same time, it is also the most difficult and difficult sword skill to cultivate, that is, the sword formation!"

Ye Bai's eyes were blank and said, "Sword formation?"

The old man nodded and said: "In ancient times, there were thousands of gates, each sect and faction, spending infinite strength and infinite wealth, and they would build a period to protect the mountain, attack but not break, and hit but not break, once started, then thousands of miles of mountains, destroyed into flat land, thousands of miles of sea, and mulberry fields overnight, beyond the reach of manpower, and among these formations, if the attack power is strong, it is based on the sword formation. ”

"Child, you may imagine that when you take out a sword alone, make a gesture that you think is a great swordsmanship, and want to compete with the other party, the other party waves his hand, and suddenly there are more than 10,000 sharp swords in the sky, all of which fall down together and shoot towards you, what do you feel at that time?"

Ye Bai stood stunned, and after a while, he muttered, and said with some disbelief: "Small, incomparable, even lost, I won't even have the idea of escaping!"

When Jian Lao heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, it is small, incomparable, and I am so disheartened that I won't even have the idea of escaping!"

"This is the Sword Gate Sword Formation, once you learn it, you can be almost invincible in the world! Ordinary sword skills, maybe one enemy, ten enemies, high-level sword skills, maybe a hundred enemies, a thousand enemies, but only the sword formation, can block ten thousand with one, it is the real sword technique of ten thousand enemies!"

"The sword formation is also a kind of swordsmanship, but many people ignore it, or, never think that someone can practice it!"

Ye Bai was a little dumbfounded and said, "The sword formation just now is actually real?"

When Jian Lao heard this, he couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, and after a long time, he touched his beard and said, "Ahem...... If the sword formation is so easy to practice, there is no so-called ten thousand enemies, everyone goes to practice the sword formation, who will practice those ordinary swordsmanship, the problem is, this sword formation is not so easy to practice, among ten thousand people, no one can practice, not to mention, it is the kind of ten thousand sword array just now, it is the only ninth-order sword formation, even if it is the ancestor of the sword gate, it will not, the scene just now is just a scene of illusion automatically conjured up in this sword stone space, it is not real at all. ”

When Ye Bai heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and smiled at the old man: "It turns out that you can't, hahaha......" Thinking of it, if someone can really use the Ten Thousand Swords Array, it is not really invincible in the world, I am afraid that if I see it once, no one will have the confidence to practice any swordsmanship, it turns out that since ancient times, no one has practiced it, even if the mysterious sword old man in front of him will not.

When Jian Lao heard this, how could he not guess what he was thinking, he snorted coldly and said: "Boy, don't be too happy, I really won't be in the Ten Thousand Swords Array, but do you remember what I told you earlier, what is my title?"

Ye Bai was stunned, thought for a while, and said, "It's the old man of a thousand swords!"

When the old sword heard this, he said lightly: "Then do you know what this old man of the thousand swords means?"

When Ye Bai heard this, he was confused, and suddenly, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, looked at the old man incredulously, and muttered: "You can't have practiced the Thousand Swords Array!"

The sword elder said proudly: "Yes, although it is less than the ability of ten thousand swords, but, with my strength, it is enough to drive three thousand six hundred and fifty swords to form the Great Zhou Huayuan Array, which dominates the world, except for a few three or five people, there is no opponent, and the distance is further, the four thousand four hundred and forty-four swords, the Zifu Tianyuan Sword Formation, is only one step away!"

Ye Bai's mouth opened wide and he was speechless. Amazed.

"The power of one person can drive three thousand six hundred and fifty swords, what kind of ability is this, by the way, it turns out that this old man in front of him is also a perverted existence, in today's world, who else can do this?"

He couldn't help but ask cautiously, "What about ...... How long did it take you to get to this point?"

The old man said with a smile on his face: "Not long, it's only been more than one hundred and fifty years. ”

Ye Bai asked again: "Then how many people in your sect can cultivate to this point?"

The old man smiled slightly, and stretched out three fingers: "Even if you include the Founding Ancestor, there are only three of them!"

When Ye Bai heard this, he immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately, this world is still normal, not all of them are this kind of perversion, for thousands of years, but three of them, it is obvious that the higher sword formation cannot be cultivated at all, it is just a flower in the realm, a flower in the water, otherwise, the world is all such a character walking sideways, where is there still room for a small person like him? At the same time, he couldn't help but ask: "Then in your sword gate, how far can ordinary people finally cultivate?"

Hearing Ye Bai's words, the sword elder couldn't help but look dark, looked up at the sky, and after a long time, he said silently: "The sword gate has been inherited for thousands of years, and there are countless disciples, but there are no more than ten people who can cultivate to the formation of a thousand swords, ordinary disciples, in their lifetimes, in a hundred years, the big ones can reach hundreds of swords, and the small ones can even drive dozens of swords, the difficulty of the sword path is difficult to go to the blue sky, and the difficulty of the sword formation is as difficult as going to the next level than the blue sky!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but be speechless, his expression was depressed, and the smugness just now disappeared for a while.

Seeing this, Ye Bai couldn't help but regret a little in his heart, but looking at the old man's expression, he couldn't say anything to persuade him, and he became extremely embarrassed for a while, but the old man, as if he had forgotten him, was immersed in the past years, and his memories flowed through his heart like the sand of the Ganges River for a while.

Suddenly, his expression was solemn, he turned around, turned his back to Ye Bai, and said to Ye Bai in an extremely desolate and sincere tone: "You, do you want to learn the art of sword formation?"

Ye Bai was in embarrassment, and when he heard this, he didn't react for a while, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and turned his head to look at the old man strangely.

The old man's eyes were like stars, shining brightly, looking into the distance, and asked again, "You, do you want to learn the art of sword formation?"
