Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1365: Chapter 729: Lure

Li Shiming in the front, Great Cultivator Duan Zhang in the back, the distance between Great Cultivator Duan Zhang and Li Shiming gradually shortened, but wanting to get Li Shiming within the range of Great Cultivator Duan Zhang’s divine sense is not something that can be achieved in a short time.

"No wonder I can’t catch him, turns out he’s so hard to deal with!" Great Cultivator Duan Zhang sighed lightly.

As a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner, and having only practiced the ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture’ to cultivate Thunder Escape to this extent, Li Shiming’s talent in thunder cultivation was so strong, it’s rare even among the core cultivators of the Yuqing Sect to have someone comparable to him.

After such a long time, information about Li Shiming had already been thoroughly investigated.

Of course, the information about Li Shiming is only from the time when he was known as Li Shizhen, anything earlier than that, when Li Shiming was on the Beishu Continent, even the intelligence department of the Yuqing Sect, as strong as it might be, couldn’t find out what happened there.

If Great Cultivator Duan Zhang hadn’t captured Li Yuanba, he would definitely have notified the Yuqing Sect and even asked some friendly factions for help.

But the situation now is a bit special, having just caught Li Yuanba, if his whereabouts were exposed, it would probably arouse the suspicion of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

Thus, he didn’t notify anyone and pursued Li Shiming alone.

He had enough confidence in his own combat power, dealing with a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner, and a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator at that, he believed even if Li Shiming’s Thunder Skill attacks hit him, it might not even break his defense.

A Thunder Cultivator’s inherent lightning resistance is exceptionally strong, let alone that of a Thunder Cultivator at the Great Cultivator level.

Li Shiming fled all the way, his Thunder Escape directed towards the ocean, needing an undisturbed place to battle against Great Cultivator Duan Zhang.

From time to time, he changed direction, bypassing all the Nascent Soul Cultivators along the way.

It seemed that Great Cultivator Duan Zhang saw through his intention but didn’t care.

Great Cultivator Duan Zhang also hoped to move the battlefield to the ocean, where Li Shiming wouldn’t be able to escape.

"Hmm!" He discovered that Li Shiming in front suddenly stopped, seemingly waiting for him, puzzled why Li Shiming did this.

But having reached here, being above the ocean, there was no worry about traps.

"Why not flee?" Great Cultivator Duan Zhang asked indifferently as he approached Li Shiming.

"My speed can’t compare to yours, might as well decide it in a battle!" Li Shiming said with a smile.

His demeanor was not at all like someone facing a great cultivator, but rather as relaxed as sparring with a cultivator of the same stage.

"Then let’s have a fair fight!" Great Cultivator Duan Zhang was inwardly delighted but maintained his calm expression as he spoke.

He calculated the distance to Li Shiming, preparing to suppress Li Shiming without giving him a chance to turn around when he reached the distance to exert Great Cultivator Realm’s pressure.

But something unexpected happened, Li Shiming’s figure disappeared at the front, then reappeared right in front of him.

When he was about to attack, Li Shiming’s figure mysteriously disappeared.

"Divine Foot Skill, you’ve mastered Divine Foot Skill too!" Great Cultivator Duan Zhang exclaimed.

He thought of Li Yuanba and then connected it with Li Shiming’s sudden appearance, seemingly happening shortly after Li Yuanba’s capture.

At this moment, he found his Spirit Pet Bag at his waist missing, and he couldn’t help but realize that there was some kind of close relationship between Li Shizhen and Li Yuanba, one that made Li Shizhen willing to take risks to confront him, this Thunder Cultivator.

Great Cultivator Duan Zhang’s expression turned extremely ugly, as Li Shiming had stolen his Spirit Pet Bag right in front of him.

He considered it theft, but it was actually robbery, taking the Spirit Pet Bag right in front of him is robbery.

Who told him to hang the Spirit Pet Bag openly at his waist instead of keeping it secure?

Within the Cultivation World, when talking about speed, it’s certainly the cultivators who have mastered space-moving divine skills like Divine Foot Skill who are the fastest.

Yet among those cultivators mastering space-moving skills like Divine Foot Skill, Li Shiming is still the fastest.

Because Li Shiming’s way of performing Divine Foot Skill differs from other cultivators, he can use multiple brains to simultaneously prepare the Divine Power Rune for Divine Foot Skill, which allows him to perform it without any pause.

Great Cultivator Duan Zhang suffered specifically because of this, never in his long life had he encountered someone performing space-moving divine skills in such an illogical manner.

Of course, Great Cultivator Duan Zhang was also a little negligent, he thought that with the Great Cultivator Realm’s pressure, no matter how spatially fast Li Shiming was, he wouldn’t be able to easily close in.

But it was too late, Li Shiming had already succeeded, stealing the Spirit Pet Bag containing Li Yuanba.

In Great Cultivator Duan Zhang’s mind, since Li Shiming had succeeded, he would naturally escape using Divine Foot Skill.

However, against his expectations, Li Shiming casually stored away the Spirit Pet Bag and put Li Yuanba into the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven, with Great Cultivator Luo Pei helping to undo Li Yuanba’s constraints.

But Li Shiming himself did not leave, as he genuinely wanted to battle Great Cultivator Duan Zhang.

After cultivating the ’Heavenly Human Technique’, through self-assessment and comparison with Great Cultivator Luo Pei, he believed his combat power was not inferior to a normal Great Cultivator.

And Great Cultivator Duan Zhang before him was a suitable opponent, he hadn’t immediately attacked because he was waiting for the Spirit Pill he just consumed to recover his Spiritual Power Pattern faster.
