Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1268: Chapter 680: Interception (Part 2)

”Don’t bring up the matter of Anyu Island with us. Did you take away all the resources from Anyu Island?” Great Cultivator Gan Bin asked impatiently from behind.

Back then, they fled in a hurry and didn’t take anything from Anyu Island.

Recently, they heard that Great Cultivator Luo Pei had sold a large batch of resources, which immediately made them think of the resources from Anyu Island.

During the Dragon Beast tribe’s attack, although the Dragon Beasts took away a large amount of resources, their ability to search for resources wasn’t strong. Anyu Island was a hub for the resources of Loose Cultivators, and many resources were left behind.

When they returned to Anyu Island, it was completely emptied inside and out.

”So you intend to rob me; why look for excuses, just start taking!” Great Cultivator Luo Pei continued to mock.

If there were two sect Great Cultivators here, he would have turned and fled without a moment’s hesitation.

But standing before him were merely two Independent Great Cultivators like himself, known targets for Nascent Soul Middle Stage core cultivators from major powers to gain fame by challenging beyond their level.

”Do you think joining the Fuliu Sect makes you a sect cultivator? You’re still like us, Loose Cultivators. Today, if you don’t hand over the resources, don’t expect us to care about years of friendship!” Great Cultivator Diao Zhuo said in a deep voice.

Great Cultivator Luo Pei didn’t speak this time, but looked at Great Cultivator Diao Zhuo with a mocking expression.

”Why waste words with him, just destroy him!” Great Cultivator Gan Bin shouted angrily.

Great Cultivator Gan Bin’s aura surged suddenly, ready to strike at any moment.

”You unruly thing, don’t you even check where you are? How dare you fight here; if you want to fight, we should go to the Thirty-Three Heavens!” Great Cultivator Luo Pei glanced back at Great Cultivator Gan Bin, speaking in the tone of scolding a junior.

He was right; this was the territory of a superpower, and if three Great Cultivators fought here, the destruction would be enormous.

If they were three sect Great Cultivators, that superpower might turn a blind eye, but since two of them were Independent Great Cultivators, that superpower would definitely suppress the two who struck first.

Being scolded by Great Cultivator Luo Pei, Great Cultivator Gan Bin realized this, and for a moment was speechless from the rebuke.

”To the Thirty-Three Heavens!” Great Cultivator Diao Zhuo glared at Great Cultivator Luo Pei, afraid he might escape.

Under the watchful eyes of Great Cultivator Diao Zhuo and Great Cultivator Gan Bin, Great Cultivator Luo Pei ascended to the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Great Cultivator Luo Pei was not relaxed, for he would be fighting two Great Cultivators head-on, using only the combat power of this Great Cultivator’s body, with at most the ’Divine Foot Skill’ aided by Earth Thunder Nascent Soul.

Great Cultivator Diao Zhuo and Great Cultivator Gan Bin expended considerable effort to successfully intercept Great Cultivator Luo Pei.

After Great Cultivator Luo Pei left the Fuliu Sect, they received intel and deduced his target was Ganlu Temple from his route.

Though they didn’t know why Great Cultivator Luo Pei was going to Ganlu Temple, they laid the ambush on the return path to Fuliu Sect based on this information.

In the Thirty-Three Heavens, Great Cultivator Diao Zhuo and Great Cultivator Gan Bin still maintained their positions front and back, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

They knew Great Cultivator Luo Pei too well, unlike this fake Luo Pei who didn’t know them.

Great Cultivator Luo Pei understood deeply that he must resolve the battle quickly.

He patted himself lightly, and three Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Defense Treasures flew out, forming a three-layer defense around him with no blind spots.

This action stalled for a moment the intended attack by Great Cultivator Diao Zhuo, who was dazed looking at the three Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Defense Treasures.

Great Cultivator Diao Zhuo, like Great Cultivator Gan Bin and Great Cultivator Luo Pei, had accumulated throughout their lives just one Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Treasure.

Look at how short the separation was, and Great Cultivator Luo Pei now had three Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Defense Treasures in his possession.

Since there were Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Defense Treasures, it implied Great Cultivator Luo Pei must have a Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Attack Treasure as his Lifebound Magical Treasure, which Great Cultivator Diao Zhuo was aware of.

Great Cultivator Diao Zhuo’s eyes were filled with strong envy; without Anyu Island, they lived like stray dogs.

But look at Great Cultivator Luo Pei, also an Independent Great Cultivator, he had three Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Defense Treasures just by himself.

”These should all be mine!” Great Cultivator Diao Zhuo shouted in his heart.

He didn’t think; even if all of Anyu Island’s resources fell into Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s hands, how much would that amount to? How could it exchange for three Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Defense Treasures?

His eyes were red with envy; however wealthy other Great Cultivators might be, they were outsiders.

But Great Cultivator Luo Pei was different; they had shared poverty, and now Great Cultivator Luo Pei was rich, which was unacceptable to him.

Great Cultivator Gan Bin shared the same sentiment.

”Dare to be distracted during battle!” Great Cultivator Luo Pei didn’t know what Great Cultivator Diao Zhuo was thinking; he only knew that Great Cultivator Diao Zhuo was distracted in battle.

He activated three Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Defense Treasures, seeing them as items not needed by the main body, Li Shiming, so he granted them for use, considering them not excellent at all.

Li Shiming’s standards were too high now, only Spiritual Treasures could catch his eye.

And the avatar Li Yuanba was a pure Sword Cultivator; a single Spiritual Treasure Lifebound Flying Sword sufficed.

Yet he overlooked that the Fourth Grade Top Treasures he disregarded were not something Great Cultivators, independent or sect-affiliated, could ignore.

Great Cultivator Luo Pei waved his hand, and the ’Black Water Sword’ shot out; it was a single-target attack Secret Technique with ’Black Ice Arrow’.

Both parties were already within the range of battle, poised to fight, and if Great Cultivator Diao Zhuo hadn’t been distracted by the three Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Defense Treasures, he might have attacked first.

Great Cultivator Luo Pei seized the initiative; although the ’Black Water Sword’ wasn’t a speed-focused treasure, as a Spiritual Treasure it was a class higher than normal treasures, surpassing most treasures in speed.

Great Cultivator Diao Zhuo reacted quickly; as the ’Black Water Sword’ neared, he responded.

Meanwhile, Great Cultivator Gan Bin also launched an attack on Great Cultivator Luo Pei, with zero mercy involved in the sudden onset of battle.

Great Cultivator Diao Zhuo was well aware of Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s combat capabilities and intimately familiar with his Lifebound Magical Treasure, countering based on Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s previous combat strength.

It wasn’t until sensing the ’Black Water Sword’s aura that he realized something was amiss.

The aura of ’Black Water Sword’ clearly surpassed the range of a treasure, and Great Cultivator Luo Pei, harboring murderous intent, released the full power of the ’Black Water Sword’ Spiritual Treasure.

Holding Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s identity, it was presently quite convenient to use.

He wished not for these two familiar Independent Great Cultivators of Luo Pei to discover any irregularities, for merely the Infinite Sect learning of this would bring immense trouble.

Great Cultivator Diao Zhuo’s defense method was to use his own Lifebound Magical Treasure to resist the ’Black Ice Arrow’ attack, relying on his familiarity with Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s combat style.

But when his Lifebound Magical Treasure collided with the ’Black Water Sword’, his treasure was instantly frozen and then struck by the impact of the ’Black Water Sword’.

With a ’boom’, his Lifebound Magical Treasure shattered in the air, turning into countless fragments.

Great Cultivator Diao Zhuo only felt a sharp pain in his head, a backlash from the destruction of his Lifebound Magical Treasure.

Under normal circumstances, Lifebound Magical Treasures even if slightly damaged could be retracted and nurtured slowly internal to the Nascent Soul, where energy-state treasures could self-repair in warm-cold cycles.

But there had to be limits; like now, where the Lifebound Magical Treasure was completely shattered, its core rune obliterated, the treasure could no longer be recovered into the Nascent Soul.
