Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

”How is this possible?”

”He... blocked it?”

The Sword Cultivator assassin and Wu Yehua both widened their eyes, staring incredulously at Li Ji’an.

Just now, he only had the aura of an ordinary Loose Cultivator, yet at the moment of life and death, he erupted with the magical power of a heavenly talent of this era.

”Fellow Daoist, be careful; Yellow Springs Prison assassins never leave a witness alive!” Wu Yehua snapped back to reality and immediately warned, trying to drag Li Ji’an into the fray.

Li Ji’an furrowed his brows, his gaze landing on the Sword Cultivator, finally understanding why he was attacked despite being about to leave.

However, with the opponent’s strength, he couldn’t be stopped.

Nonetheless, although logic told him not to get involved in such a pointless magical combat slaughter, a surge of inexplicable anger and a strong desire to kill arose in his heart.

The Faceless Mask had played the role of Huang Jie for five years, deeply affecting his heart nature, requiring at least a year or two to fully erase.

”Zheng!” At this moment, the Sword Cultivator unsheathed his sword once again.

At this time, Li Ji’an finally saw the magic sword in his hand.

It was surprisingly a sword as thin as a cicada’s wing, completely transparent – the Flowing Light Sword.

”Senior, save me, and I will offer fifteen thousand spirit stones for my life.” Seeing Li Ji’an’s expression change, Wu Yehua decisively spoke again, naming a clear price.

At the edge of life and death, spiritual talent was only something external.

If Li Ji’an left, he would surely die.

When a person dies, all becomes void!

”Swish!” The Sword Cultivator struck again.

”Take a Great Heart Demon Oath, and I’ll save you!” Li Ji’an’s mind was filled with anger and he no longer retreated, agreeing to Wu Yehua’s request in the process.

The next moment, as the sword light came rushing in, Li Ji’an did not retreat but advanced, clashing with Wood Magic Power.

He had just tested the opponent’s sword qi power, which could be blocked even with the Body-Protecting Dharma Shield, let alone with the Second Tier physique as a backup.

Even if the opponent’s sword light truly broke through the magical shield, its remaining power wouldn’t be enough to break his physical body.

At this moment, using offense as defense, he consumed the opponent’s sword qi with magical power in advance, with the only drawback being heavy consumption on his magical power.

If he were a usual cultivator, he wouldn’t dare to consume like this, or he would be unable to resist after three strikes.

However, Li Ji’an’s Wood Magic Power was superior in its sheer abundance and continuity, so he wasn’t worried about being exhausted.

”Swish, swish, swish!” Countless vines shot out, all enveloped by sword light, severed at the first encounter.

”Hmph, dares to test the sharpness of the Gold Sword with rotten Wood Magic Power, overestimating oneself!” The Sword Cultivator snorted coldly, with disdain.

However, before the Sword Cultivator could strike again, more vines broke through the ground.

”Let’s see how long you can last.” The Sword Cultivator thrust out his sword light, easily cutting down the vines again.

There was no denying that the Gold Sword Qi of the Sword Cultivator was incomparably sharp; Li Ji’an’s simple Wood Element Technique attack could hardly pose any threat to him.

Nonetheless, it temporarily stalled the Sword Cultivator, preventing an effective kill.

Until half an hour later, the Sword Cultivator finally frowned.

”So enduring!”

”Swish!” Suddenly, the Sword Cultivator stopped competing with Li Ji’an in magical power, employing escape speed, vanishing without a trace.

The next instant, Li Ji’an’s brow tightened, sensing an invisible murderous aura locking onto him.

His Divine Sense continuously locked onto the Sword Cultivator, clearly ”seeing” him thrust a sword from beneath his feet.

However, even with clear Divine Sense reading of the Sword Cultivator’s movements, the killing intent in that strike still left him feeling powerless to evade it.

He struck too fast.

”Zheng~” At the moment the sword’s hum sounded, a flash of dark light blossomed from Li Ji’an’s chest.

”Boom!” Instead of the dull thud of cleaving wood, the sword qi slashed, producing a flash of fire and the booming sound of metal colliding.

An enormous Dark Light Umbrella expanded against the wind, blocking the sword qi some distance away.

”Magical Treasure!”

This umbrella was the very magical treasure that exploded from Sima Yu while crossing the Shadowless Grassland with a spiritual ship, which Li Ji’an subsequently acquired from Wu Weixiong.

This was also the highest-level treasure that Li Ji’an could barely activate now.

The Sword Cultivator changed color drastically, never expecting this Foundation Establishment Cultivator to possess such a precious treasure.

Moreover, judging by the response to the sword qi’s strike, this umbrella-shaped magical treasure had reached the Seventh Grade level!

For a Late Period Foundation Establishment Cultivator to hold a Seventh Grade treasure.

Even within the Ten Thousand Merchants Domain, besides the three top Commerce Association’s heavenly talents, it was virtually impossible!

Upon seeing the treasure, Wu Yehua realized, no wonder assistance was unmoving when asked earlier.

Indeed, possessing such wealth!

Meanwhile, the hope of survival magnified.

”Crash~” After blocking the Sword Cultivator’s strike, the Dark Light Umbrella didn’t pause; the umbrella handle spun, the umbrella face opened, each spoke radiating a green light, closing off nearly a fifty feet area with about seventy percent of an early-stage True Pill’s power.

The Sword Cultivator’s face showed panic, decisively withdrawing.

”Hmph, obstruct Yellow Springs Prison, and there will be no rest till death!”

As he performed the Five Elements Escape Technique to flee, he still didn’t forget to issue threats.

”Courting death!” Originally suppressing the fierce heart nature assimilated by Huang Jie, deciding not to pursue further, upon hearing such threats, Li Ji’an’s desire to kill surged.

”Whoosh~” A Tier Three Escape Talisman activated instantly, sending Li Ji’an shooting accurately towards the Sword Cultivator’s escape direction.

”Tier Three Spirit Talisman!” Wu Yehua gasped abruptly.

Merely observing the current exposed background of the other party, it had vastly exceeded him, the fifth young master of the Jinhua Commerce Association!

Moreover, what shocked him the most was that Liu Qingyun clearly had already repelled the Yellow Springs Prison Earth-level assassin, yet now persisted relentlessly, aiming to bring him down...

Foundation Establishment reversing to kill a True Man!

And still the most proficient in killing among Yellow Springs Prison’s Earth-level assassins.
