This is a sentence from _Digimon Adventure_ episode 3. I don't understand the
「おそってはきいしませんで」 part.

It's also important to state that the character speaks a Japanese dialect.

> シードラモンは殺気を感じんかぎりおそってはきいしませんで

I interpret 「シードラモンは殺気を感じんかぎり」 as 「シードラモンは殺気を感じない限り」.

> As long as Seadramon does not feel the thirst for blood...

I tried to think of 「きい」 as a vowel extension of 「気」 and rendered it as "When
it attacks, we don't care" but that doesn't really make sense because when
someone attacks, you care, right?

What is the meaning of きいしません?
> [襲]{おそ}っては[来]{き}いしませんで

It means 襲ってはきませんよ.

Here in Kyoto, we sometimes say things like:

あらしません to mean ありません  
わからしません to mean わかりません  
かましまへん to mean かまいません  
でけしまへん to mean できません  
みいしまへん to mean みません

In the same way,

きいしません to mean きません
