Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1339: Chapter 716: One Sword

Li Yuanba’s position was just between Master Shi Dong and Great Cultivator Lou, with Great Cultivator Lou issuing a challenge that Master Shi Dong couldn’t refuse.

If Master Shi Dong didn’t respond to even three moves from Great Cultivator Lou, he might as well not exist in the Cultivation World anymore; sometimes reputation is more important than anything else.

Master Shi Dong casually put away the Jiguang Xunying Boat, with twelve Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners flying to the side.

His aura suddenly surged, and the ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ field spread around him, forming a field with a radius of 400 meters.

Though the confrontation between Master Shi Dong and Great Cultivator Lou wasn’t aimed at Li Yuanba, being between them, Li Yuanba felt immense pressure.

Li Yuanba dared not linger here; once the battle started, Master Shi Dong might casually strike him, using battle ripples as an excuse.

He used the ’At a Near Horizon’, moving closer to Great Cultivator Lou.

Great Cultivator Lou ignored Li Yuanba; at times like this, when consolidating power, any distraction could cause the hard-won momentum to collapse.

"First sword!" Great Cultivator Lou’s power surged to its peak, like a bowstring ready to release an arrow.

Suddenly, his figure dashed forward, and this short-distance sprinting speed was precisely the close-range secret of the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’, so fast that the forward motion seemed almost invisible.

When his figure solidified, he was already 400 meters in front of Master Shi Dong, beyond the boundary of Master Shi Dong’s ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ Divine Power Field.

Then his first sword struck down, and the Lifebound Flying Sword that had been floating moved down forcefully with his hand, executing a slashing motion.

The actual body of the Lifebound Flying Sword didn’t cut; what slashed out was a beam of red sword light.

This red sword light flew into Master Shi Dong’s ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ Divine Power Field, but unfortunately, it was pure Sword Intent, driven by fire-attributed spiritual power.

Great Cultivator Lou was a gold-fire dual cultivation Sword Cultivator; with Dual Spirit Roots, he could become a Sword Cultivator among numerous single spirit root geniuses in the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, showing his diligence.

He knew very well the power of ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ Divine Powers, which suppresses Sword Cultivators, but it’s not unbreakable.

If ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ Divine Powers were truly that powerful, White Emperor Sect wouldn’t have reached a tacit understanding with the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion to control conflicts at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage level.

The red sword light rushed through 400 meters and arrived before Master Shi Dong.

A yellow earth shield appeared on Master Shi Dong, with an additional Fourth Grade Top Shield Treasure at his front.

He was extremely cautious about Great Cultivator Lou’s attack, not daring to underestimate it at all.

Yet the power of Great Cultivator Lou’s attack still surprised him; when the red sword light hit the yellow earth shield, its outermost red energy instantly shattered.

Master Shi Dong felt his scalp tingle because the hidden Flame Sword Intent within the red sword light was several times stronger than the outer Flame Sword Intent.

Great Cultivator Lou used all his power in the first sword, and it was highly likely that when he proposed Shi Dong endure three swords, he had already begun storing power just for this first sword to wield its strongest strike.

He never intended for Master Shi Dong to weather three swords; saying three swords was to make Master Shi Dong expect gradually intensifying attacks, reducing focus on the first sword.

After the weaker guise of Flame Sword Intent broke, the super strong Flame Sword Intent exploded with Great Cultivator Lou’s long-held fury right in front of Master Shi Dong.

Great Cultivator Lou was originally stronger than Master Shi Dong, and combined with the deliberately set trap, it made Master Shi Dong suffer greatly.

The explosion of Flame Sword Intent instantly shattered Master Shi Dong’s first yellow earth shield, and his Fourth Grade Top Shield Treasure couldn’t hold for even a moment, flying aside.

Master Shi Dong’s physical body was hit by the residual power of the Flame Sword Intent, involuntarily launching him backward.

He understood in his mind that he’d fallen victim to Great Cultivator Lou’s plot; the appearance of being blinded by rage was entirely intentional for storing up this terrifying sword.

He no longer had time to consider his own injuries; after today, he feared he’d become a laughingstock.

The world outside would hear about his three-sword agreement with Great Cultivator Lou, but he hadn’t even caught one sword.

"There are still two swords; I’ll find you for them later!" Master Shi Dong’s figure transformed into a yellow escape light, his voice lingering in the sky.

Great Cultivator Lou said nothing; he was adjusting the spiritual power within his Nascent Soul. That sword, seemingly ordinary, in fact, not only employed the Power Storage Secret Method but also utilized a secret technique to temporarily unleash his own potential.

This allowed his first sword to far surpass his normal attack power, not to mention having set a trap, making Master Shi Dong think the third sword was the strongest and withholding during the first.

Master Shi Dong fled, but the twelve Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners were left stunned.

"What’s going on? How could he abandon us? What should we do?" These were the thoughts of the twelve Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners.

Moreover, since Great Cultivator Lou was nearby, they dared not make any movements, lest they risk being dispatched by him.
