Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1666: Chapter 879: Demonic Path (Part 2)

Additionally, he was somewhat worried that the number of great cultivators in this Cultivation World exceeded that of the previous one, and even hiding in the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven might not be safe.

Since these Peak Great Cultivators were unwilling to associate with him, he would have to extract some intelligence from them.

This was his expertise, killing cultivators would yield all they possessed.

’Traceless Illusion Sword’ was released by him, and he performed ’Distance as a Step’ once more, changing locations and unleashing another round of ’Thunder Fall Skill’.

However, this time the ’Thunder Fall Skill’ attack doubled the number received by each Great Cultivator.

Grandmaster Leng Hong’s expression turned extremely grim, as he felt the pressure; ten ’Thunder Fall Skills’ forced him to take out his defensive magical treasure to enhance his defenses.

Additionally, he invoked a defensive Secret Technique, consuming spiritual power exponentially to strengthen the defensive power of the magical treasure.

He found it was not only him, the other two Devil Cultivators were equally embarrassed by the ten ’Thunder Fall Skills’.

A couple more times, and they wouldn’t be able to withstand it, they would either have to escape or suffer serious injuries.

What frustrated them most was Li Shiming’s agility; the Divine Foot Skill made him almost unbeatable; without restraining the space movement ability of Divine Foot Skill, Li Shiming would never need to worry about threats to himself, as long as he continued to launch attacks.

If they had previously known Li Shiming mastered Divine Foot Skill, they would never have battled him like this, let alone sought him out.

”Let’s gather together, don’t let him defeat us one by one!” he shouted loudly.

His suggestion didn’t receive much approval; Master Qiu Zhi had already lost hope in the battle, with retreat reflected in his eyes.

As for Great Cultivator Zongjing, he wouldn’t allow other Devil Cultivators close to his physical body when performing the White Bone Technique.

The Demon Sect he belonged to was called the ’Bone Sect,’ with its strength lying in refining bones; the refined white bone was almost equivalent to a top-level Fourth Grade Magical Treasure, plus the connection between him and the white bone, which was unparalleled by other material magical treasures.

However, when performing ’White Bone Technique,’ having lost the white bone within his body, he was at his weakest physically.

There was little trust between Devil Cultivators, and especially since the contracts within the Divine Palace had long lost effectiveness, although they were still opposing Li Shiming, nothing they did to each other would be surprising.

Grandmaster Leng Hong was disappointedly shaking his head when he saw no one respond to his suggestion, his mind stirred slightly, and a Great Ability Jade Talisman appeared in his hand, ready to activate it and flee.

Simultaneously, Master Qiu Zhi also took out a Great Ability Jade Talisman, with the same intention.

They all knew one thing very well, fighting a Great Cultivator like Li Shiming, who possessed the Divine Foot Skill’s space movement ability, was impossible to retreat normally without advantages.

They could only use the Great Ability Jade Talisman to have hope of escaping from Li Shiming.

Yet, Great Cultivator Zongjing did not use a Great Ability Jade Talisman; he had more confidence in his white bone, which seized his physical body with a flash.

All three Devil Cultivators decided to retreat from the battlefield, and Li Shiming, of course, was aware.

Just as Grandmaster Leng Hong was about to activate the Great Ability Jade Talisman, a flying sword appeared in the void.

This was the ’Traceless Illusion Sword,’ and it only manifested from invisibility when its attack hits the target.

Grandmaster Leng Hong’s activation of the Great Ability Jade Talisman halted suddenly, and he looked incredulously at his body, seeing a penetrating wound from which he could see the rear from the front.

Instantly, his physical body and Nascent Soul were completely eroded by ’Chaos Sword Intent,’ which ordinarily, given his cultivation, should not have fallen so swiftly.

However, Li Shiming’s ten ’Thunder Fall Skills’ had already broken most of his defenses, and he was preparing to use a Great Ability Jade Talisman without replenishing his defensive measures.

This was merely confidence, confidence that even if Li Shiming launched an attack, he could activate the Great Ability Jade Talisman to escape before the attack arrived.

’Traceless Illusion Sword’ though was a particularly cunning attack method; it awaited the moment Grandmaster Leng Hong relaxed before delivering a fatal attack.

Currently, although Li Shiming’s realm was not as high as the Peak Great Cultivators, his attack power on the sword cultivator’s path was truly at the Peak Great Cultivator Level.

This attack, akin to a sneak attack, extinguished Grandmaster Leng Hong’s vitality and also startled the two remaining Devil Cultivators and three observing Righteous Path cultivators at a distance.

Master Qiu Zhi hesitated no more, with a subtle shift of his mind, the Great Ability Jade Talisman in his hand was activated, turning his figure into a stream of light headed afar.

Li Shiming paid no attention to Master Qiu Zhi’s escape; once the Great Ability Jade Talisman was activated, he could no longer assure the opponent’s demise.

Instead of chasing Master Qiu Zhi who used a Great Ability Jade Talisman, he chose to confront the confident Great Cultivator Zongjing.

His figure flickered and vanished; ’Distance as a Step’ was performed with great agility as he appeared beside Great Cultivator Zongjing, a Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation in his hand.

The white bone swung the Bone Sword, striking at Li Shiming with a slash.

Li Shiming could not help but admire the combat sense of this white bone; he wondered how it was refined, as its attack speed was extraordinarily quick, with the Bone Sword arriving almost as he materialized.

However, confronting a close-combat sword cultivator in close-quarter swordsmanship, the combat sense of the white bone couldn’t bridge this gap.

Li Shiming’s Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation gently deflected, redirecting the Bone Sword held by the white bone.

Great Cultivator Zongjing realized that the white bone hadn’t stopped Li Shiming, his eyes flashed with a fierce glint, intending to activate a desperate Secret Technique.

Yet before his desperate Secret Technique was activated, the ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ above Li Shiming’s head launched timely.

Ten ’Thunder Fall Skills’ triggered simultaneously; at this close range, and with Li Shiming having breached the white bone’s defenses, the ten lighting strikes hit Great Cultivator Zongjing’s body without hindrance.

Great Cultivator Zongjing let out a miserable shriek; even as a Peak Great Cultivator, the terrifying lighting strikes not only heavily wounded his physical body and Nascent Soul but also immobilized him.

Li Shiming, amidst the sparkling lightning, charged into close-quarters with Great Cultivator Zongjing; the residual force of the lightning did not affect him at all; he thrust his sword forward, the Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation in his hand penetrating Zongjing’s body while simultaneously injecting ’Chaos Sword Intent’ into his body.

In a short time, two Peak Devil Cultivators perished, while Great Cultivator Shen Ze and the other two only felt a chill over their bodies.

They couldn’t have foreseen the battle not unfolding as they anticipated.

The three powerful Peak Great Cultivators, at Li Shiming’s hands, seemed as if Li Shiming was the actual Peak Great Cultivator, with the three Devil Cultivators being as novices to the Great Cultivator Realm.

They quickly realized staying here wasn’t wise.

They awkwardly discovered that their Great Ability Jade Talismans had been exhausted, now left with only flying as the sole escape method, nothing more effective.

One could not blame them; they employed every means to reach the Heavenly Mechanism Garden promptly, using up all Great Ability Jade Talismans, resulting in their current injuries.

Li Shiming’s Divine Sense swept over the two corpses, including the motionless white bone; he gathered up the bodies and the white bone, thinking he’d examine the spoils later when he had time, as he needed to address the three Righteous Path cultivators on the other side first.

Initially, he intended to use more peaceful methods to manage the relationships among them; instead, what he faced was the strong hostility of both the Devil and Righteous Great Cultivators.

The motives of the three Devil Cultivators didn’t require elaboration; they employed encirclement tactics intending to prohibit his departure.

Though the three Righteous Path cultivators merely observed, Li Shiming’s perceptive abilities were so strong, he could feel the hostility from them.

Given how things had escalated, no way would he let his enemies leave.

Moreover, this was also a foreign land; once his killer instinct arose, there’d be little reasoning left.
