Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 326: Chapter 209: Spinning Silk_2

Li Yuanba didn’t even return to his dwelling and took out his Jade Flying Boat to head towards the direction of his mission target.

The intelligence system of Senluo Sect was incredibly terrifying. Ren Pengxiao, a True Disciple of Thick Earth Sect, had hidden himself within one of the Independent Practitioner Families, becoming the son-in-law of that household.

After three days of travel, Li Yuanba arrived at the Independent Practitioner Family’s location.

The strongest cultivator of this Independent Practitioner Family was merely an early-stage Foundation Establishment family head, and the rest were Qi Refinement cultivators, which was equivalent to nothing compared to the target of the mission.

Packing up the Flying Boat, the formation of this Cultivation Family seemed rather trivial in his eyes.

Although he could not directly utilize the power of his own Array Formation Starlight Sea and the help of IBMz15, with the knowledge of a High-level Array Master, he could easily deal with some basic formations without assistance from his main body.

...
This Independent Practitioner Family was quite poor; their formation could only be considered for alerting purposes, and its defensive effect was merely at the level of Qi Refinement realm. A late-stage Qi Refining cultivator could break the formation with several strong attacks.

Li Yuanba didn’t need to break the formation; he entered the formation through a corner, following the direction of the Spiritual Energy routes, dodging the formation’s nodes in succession, and easily infiltrated without alarming the formation.

Inside the formation were several courtyards with rather abundant Spiritual Energy, most likely powered by a Mid-grade Spirit Vein.

He set his sights on one particular courtyard. On the surface, it looked no different from the other courtyards, but the formation it was equipped with was not of the same grade.

The defensive formation of the courtyard was set up by an Array Master using an Array Plate, and Li Yuanba could not enter as easily as before relying solely on his own array knowledge.

However, he didn’t need to study the formation now. He took out thirty-six array flags and arranged them outside the courtyard.

Once the formation was established, he flew up into the air outside the courtyard without any hesitation.

“Ren Pengxiao, come out and face your death!” Li Yuanba channeled his Spiritual Power and shouted loudly.

At the same time, his Gale Golden Light Sword heavily struck the courtyard’s defensive formation, causing the formation to shake. The sword light rose again and fell back down.

In just two short moments, the Gale Golden Light Sword, carrying a terrifying Sword Intent, slashed down five times in quick succession. The Array Plate, after all, was not a real complete formation and without a cultivator proficient in formations to oversee it, it was soon forcibly breached under his full-strength assault.

“Mr. Ren, what has happened?” A female cultivator’s voice called out, followed by a male cultivator flying up into the sky from within the courtyard.

The formidable aura displayed by Li Yuanba prevented the cultivators of this weak Cultivation Family from showing their faces.

When they realized that Ren Pengxiao actually went to meet the intruder, they then knew that Ren Pengxiao, who had always presented himself as a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, was actually a powerful Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

“Li Yuanba of Senluo Sect’s outer sect obeys orders to take your life!” Li Yuanba declared loudly, sensing Ren Pengxiao’s aura.

He was declaring his identity to the Cultivation Family. If the family’s cultivators took any action during the battle, it would mean they were making an enemy of Senluo Sect.

“I never imagined that I, Ren Pengxiao, would be hunted down by an outer sect disciple of Senluo Sect, hahaha!” Ren Pengxiao let out a burst of crazed laughter filled with humiliation.

After all, he was a True Disciple of the Thick Earth Sect, yet Senluo Sect had only sent an outer sect disciple to kill him.

As a sect cultivator himself, he obviously knew about the sect’s mission arrangements.

He thought that he might be found by a True Disciple or at the very least an Inner Sect Disciple from Senluo Sect. Senluo Sect had seriously underestimated him by sending an outer sect disciple.

The feeling of humiliation combined with anger brought forth a fierce killing intent from him.

“Slash!” Li Yuanba didn’t care about his thoughts and waved his sword, sending a slash flying towards him.

A Spirit Artifact Shield flew out of Ren Pengxiao’s hands, blocking the sword light. Just as he prepared to launch an attack with his attack-type Spirit Artifact, he found that his Spirit Artifact Shield had become somewhat unstable.

“You’re a Sword Cultivator?!” Ren Pengxiao let out a sharp scream, his voice laced with a trace of horror.

He finally understood why the Senluo Sect had sent this Outer Sect disciple to perform the task. How could such a pure Sword Cultivator appear within the Senluo Sect, and only be an Outer Sect Disciple?

He made his decision in an instant, killing a Sword Cultivator from the Senluo Sect wasn’t worse than killing an Inner Sect Disciple or a True Disciple.

He took out a yellow sphere and, under the stimulation of Earth Attribute Spiritual Power, the yellow sphere emitted a yellow light screen that blocked the sword light.

This was a special Spiritual Artifact from the Thick Earth Sect, capable of storing a certain amount of Earth Spiritual Power, which could be released as a thick Earth Attribute defense shield when needed.

The strength of the thick Earth Attribute defense shield was enough to withstand several full-force strikes from a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, giving him more than enough time to kill Li Yuanba.

The sword light from Li Yuanba landed on the Earth Attribute defense shield, and the result was not as significant as before.

His gaze sharpened because he saw Ren Pengxiao taking out a talisman.

Li Yuanba knew he couldn’t give Ren Pengxiao a chance. He activated the secret technique of the Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique, speeding up his sword light by several times, and continuously attacked one point on the Earth Attribute defense shield.

He no longer held back, his body lunging forward as the ‘Sword Demon Secret Manual’ was fully triggered, displaying a Third Grade Sword Base in his hand.

With the Third Grade Sword Base leading, his body fully propelled the Third Grade Sword Base. It was a charging combat method from the ‘Sword Demon Secret Manual’, concentrating all of his Spiritual Power and strength at the sword tip of the Third Grade Sword Base.

The target of the Third Grade Sword Base attack was the position continuously hit by the sword light.

After more than a month of continuous fighting, he had started to view himself as a true Sword Cultivator and had not summoned Jiang Chen at the first sign of danger.

Until the moment of a life-and-death crisis, he would only trust his sword.

Of course, there were some issues with him being a Sword Cultivator. A normal Sword Cultivator would have only one flying sword, but in addition to a flying sword, he also had a close-range longsword.

But this did not change the fact that he was a Sword Cultivator. As he concentrated his mind on the tip of the Third Grade Sword Base, all his Sword Intent was gathered there, and even the flying sword that had been dancing around ceased its movements in that moment.

“Kill!” As the sword tip of the Third Grade Sword Base collided with the Earth Attribute defense shield, he let out a loud shout.

A piercing sound of friction came from the sword tip, the noise of the Gold Element Spiritual Power within the Third Grade Sword Base forcefully piercing through the Earth Element Spiritual Power in the shield.

It had been two breaths of time since Ren Pengxiao had taken the talisman, and the talisman already had jumping runes flickering on it.

He was extremely confident in his defense. If it were a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, they might not be able to hold on for long, but an Early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, even a True Disciple of the Senluo Sect, wouldn’t be able to break through this defense in three breaths’ time.

His confidence in combating a True Disciple of the Senluo Sect lay in the combination of the Thick Earth Shield Pearl and the talisman.

He believed that by taking the initiative to use it first, he could kill a True Disciple of the Senluo Sect.

The Third Grade Sword Base was stuck on the Earth Shield generated by the Thick Earth Shield Pearl, which was the special defensive effect of this Earth Attribute defense treasure. It wouldn’t be easily broken, and even if a breach occurred, the defensive shield wouldn’t completely shatter.

Only the tip of the Third Grade Sword Base penetrated the Earth Attribute defense shield, just thirty centimeters away from Ren Pengxiao, yet those thirty centimeters were like a deep chasm.

As Ren Pengxiao’s talisman was about to be fully activated, Sword Intent surged in Li Yuanba’s eyes. The oppressive force from the talisman drove Li Yuanba to frantically propel his Sword Intent.

A fine thread flew out from the Third Grade Sword Base’s sword light, sweeping over Ren Pengxiao’s talisman-holding arm like a gentle breeze over treetops.

Silently, Ren Pengxiao’s arm separated from his body along with the talisman, and the talisman, which had been activated almost completely, returned to calmness due to the interference.

“Sword Intent into thread!” Ren Pengxiao seemed to feel no pain from the severed part of his arm as he muttered to himself.

Sword Intent can take many forms, and its universal effect is to damage the spiritual imprint within Magic Artifacts. The additional effects depend on the Sword Cultivator’s own understanding of Sword Intent.

Li Yuanba cultivated the ‘Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique’. Although he lacked the Sword Bone, meaning his Sword Intent was not as refined as that of his original self, Li Shiming, his understanding of Sword Intent was superior, with the Sword Cultivation Technique as his primary cultivation technique.
