The opposing young sect master had been captured by me, so of course they refused to let the matter rest. With Li Xiangan at the head, twenty or thirty immortals of the Heavenly Dao realm chased after me. Along the way, they inevitably triggered heavenly lightning. They weren't lightning rods, either. One Heavenly Dao immortal flew too fast and was struck by heavenly lightning, leaving him reeling. Unable to steady himself, he plunged straight to the bottom of the sea!
That forced the immortals to slow down. In fact, I had also intended to observe how they crossed this lightning zone. This bout of cat-and-mouse had given me quite a lot of information.
There was no need to mention Li Xiangan. His Sword Guarding Stance was extraordinarily powerful; heavenly lightning could not move him at all. Of course, his speed was about the same as the other immortals'. As for the others, some knew Sword Seed Manipulation, some knew Sword Seed Suppression, and some possessed the External Sword Heart. Naturally, after the External Sword Heart had fallen into the rebel army's hands, relatively few people knew it. All twelve chapters of the Heavenly Sword had methods for resisting heavenly lightning, so those who took the lead in chasing me were mostly these elite experts.
These elite experts had each learned only one of the twelve chapters of the Heavenly Sword. Their strengths varied, but the treasures in their hands were all more or less the same. Even compared with first-rate elites, they were by no means inferior.

That left the Small Sword Art
