Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1310: Chapter 701: Countering with a Ruse (Part 2)

He felt extreme unwillingness, to think he was ambushed by a Loose Cultivator.

He wanted to cry out loud because he sensed the aura of two spiritual treasures, no wonder Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s attack was so strong.

Moreover, he sensed a trace of the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ aura, which he felt personally, the continuous lightning attacks were enhanced by the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’.

If not for the enhanced lightning from the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’, how could a mere Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator affect him?

Unfortunately, he couldn’t reveal these secrets at all.

He had considered letting his Nascent Soul emerge, but the continuous thunder left his Nascent Soul in a constant state of paralysis, unable to be controlled.

Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s spiritual object, the ’Black Water Sword’, unleashed ’Black Water Flood Sky’, which in its reduced form landed on Great Cultivator Ning Xi, relentlessly washing over Ning Xi’s body, destroying his vitality from outside to inside.

This continued for six breaths, finally extinguishing Great Cultivator Ning Xi’s vitality, his nascent soul was also obliterated.

Li Shiming was tense throughout, almost bursting out all his Thunder Cultivation skills, he stopped cultivating his four nascent souls internally, channeling all to support his Thunder Skill.

For this ambush, he simulated it multiple times with IBMz15, producing the most comprehensive battle plan, with various contingencies.

In fact, the battle went smoothly, surprisingly well.

Yet he held no pride, pride in having successfully slain a Great Cultivator of a superpower.

Because through this ambush, he understood just how strong a Great Cultivator from a superpower could be.

In this ambush, the ’Thunder Fall Skill’ he used was merely to assist, aimed at paralyzing Great Cultivator Ning Xi.

The real attacker was Great Cultivator Luo Pei, attacking the undefended Great Cultivator Ning Xi.

Great Cultivator Ning Xi had no defense, Luo Pei’s attacks landed directly on his body.

Yet even so, it still took Great Cultivator Luo Pei six breaths, if not for Li Shiming’s ’Thunder Fall Skill’ paralyzing Ning Xi, perhaps Ning Xi might have caught a fleeting breath.

Whenever Li Shiming thought about Ning Xi enduring Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s six-breath full-force attack with his body, his scalp would involuntarily tingle.

If he had known this beforehand, he wouldn’t have dared to make this plan.

It was the perfect opportunity for this ambush, Ning Xi had concealed his aura, without adding defensive spells on himself.

If Ning Xi had defensive spells, Li Shiming didn’t paralyze him immediately, then as a Great Cultivator of a superpower, he would have many counters.

Li Shiming, however, had prepared should Ning Xi have defensive spells, planning to use ’Void-Splitting Sword Intent’ to slice through his defenses, but he realized afterward his judgment was based on Ning Xi’s abilities within his estimation.

Whereas Great Cultivator Ning Xi’s battle strength far exceeded his estimate, not reaching the Great Cultivator Peak level, but was among the front runners in Great Cultivator strength.

Now this area was already a mess, not only was the Concealing Array broken, but the Fourth Grade Plate Array was also destroyed by the battle aftermath.

Great Cultivator Luo Pei suddenly made a strange motion, he opened his mouth and drew in towards Ning Xi’s corpse, absorbing the residual soul energy of Ning Xi.

Li Shiming felt the comfortable sensation from the Heavenly Ghost, apparently it’s the Heavenly Ghost’s instinct, unable to resist absorbing high-grade soul energy.

Li Shiming didn’t linger, he waved his hand to take Ning Xi’s corpse, and with a flicker, returned to Grotto Heaven.

Great Cultivator Luo Pei restrained the grade of the ’Black Water Sword’, suppressing it to Top-Grade Fourth-Grade level.

Then he unleashed ’Black Water Flood Sky’, washing away the battle traces.

Until all the battle traces left by him and Li Shiming using spiritual objects were cleared, he stopped the ’Black Water Flood Sky’ attack.

He didn’t care about the rule that Nascent Soul Cultivators shouldn’t disrupt the cultivation world environment, much less when his reputation was already notorious, even ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators faced with urgent situations wouldn’t bother with such rules.

His divine sense scanned the battlefield several times, ensuring nothing was overlooked, then flew towards the gathering point of White Emperor Sect cultivators.

He ignored the gathering point’s formation, easily passing through the formation into its interior.

The gathering point was littered with corpses, and at its center, seven Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators were in dense defensive postures, resisting the attack of five Mid-stage Golden Corpses.

The attack of the five Mid-stage Golden Corpses was horrifying, continually assailing the defenses of the seven Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators, each attack causing those enduring it to involuntarily tremble.

Were it not for the seven Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators being Earth Element cultivators, employing special secret techniques to channel the Golden Corpses’ attacks into the earth, they would have long since collapsed.

Yet even then, the seven Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators couldn’t hold on for much longer.

They were hanging by a thread, waiting for sect rescue to arrive.

They knew well that nearby was Great Cultivator Ning Xi, with Ning Xi there, they would be saved.

When Great Cultivator Luo Pei entered the formation, the seven Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators’ spirits lifted, thinking Ning Xi had arrived.

At such a time, a Great Cultivator freely entering the formation, who else but Ning Xi.

Yet upon seeing the person, they were all utterly shocked.

"Great Cultivator Luo Pei!" this name to current Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators of White Emperor Sect was as terrifying as the grim reaper.

This was the infamous reputation Great Cultivator Luo Pei forged with the lives of dozens of their fellow Nascent Soul cultivators, a bloody track record.

They couldn’t understand why it was Great Cultivator Luo Pei appearing here instead of Ning Xi.

Without Great Cultivator Luo Pei even making a move, the seven Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators’ spirits faltered, their defenses crumbled instantly.

Five Mid-stage Golden Corpses charged into the midst of the seven Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators, their claws easily tearing open the defenses, without the need for corpse poison to take effect, their sheer strength enough to bring Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators to death.

The battle ended quickly, Great Cultivator Luo Pei chuckled, he hadn’t expected the five Mid-stage Golden Corpses to possess such terrifying battle strength at their first full-force strike.

He glanced at the five Mid-stage Golden Corpses, assessing the damage, but such damage did not even count as a minor injury to them.

The five Mid-stage Golden Corpses’ bodies had a toughness comparable to Peak of Mid-stage Nascent Soul Body Refining Cultivators, able to withstand the same level of cultivator’s spiritual objects with their bodies.

This gathering point lacked core cultivators of White Emperor Sect, thus no attacks able to inflict serious damage on the Mid-stage Golden Corpses.

Li Shiming found that within Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s Heavenly Ghost, it did not again act out, absorbing the soul energy here.

Apparently only Great Cultivator Level soul energy would stimulate the Heavenly Ghost’s instinctive urge.

Great Cultivator Luo Pei scanned the gathering point with divine sense, retrieving all valuable spiritual objects.

He did so, embodying the qualities of a Loose Cultivator, not sparing any loot, even claiming all the formation materials present.

Daring to do so, partly because Ning Xi had been slain, giving him ample time, and partly due to the drone satellite system’s monitoring, informing him there were no threatening cultivators within a large vicinity, providing him sufficient time to operate.
