Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1480: Chapter 786: Revenge (Part 2)

Although the combat power of Sword Cultivators is extremely strong, the White Emperor Sect is also a superpower. The strength of their Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners is not weak, at least not so easily defeated.

However, the number of White Emperor Sect cultivators is decreasing as they fight, while the cultivators of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion do not diminish at all. The White Emperor Sect is getting weaker, and Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion is getting stronger in battle. The balance of power is increasingly tilting towards Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

The number of White Emperor Sect Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners falling to the ground is constantly increasing. Everyone can see that this time, the White Emperor Sect has suffered a great loss.

The White Emperor Sect, also adept in defense, quickly realized something was wrong and chose to defend, waiting for the Great Cultivator’s rescue.

One by one, Mountain Peak Treasures were summoned, forming defensive peaks that blocked the flying swords of the Sword Cultivators. For a time, they defended against the frantic attacks of the Sword Cultivators.

But this defense consumes a lot, and the defensive power of the Mountain Peak Treasure also has a limit, which, once exceeded, will break the defense.

The White Emperor Sect Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners waited for their Great Cultivator’s rescue, but the Great Cultivators had no time to care about them. Three White Emperor Sect Great Cultivators were being suppressed by three Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators, already at a disadvantage.

Great Cultivator Lou constantly increased the power of his Lifebound Flying Sword, trying to break through the defense of the opposing Great Cultivator.

However, the White Emperor Sect is best at defense, and the defensive power of the Great Cultivator is even more astonishing.

Using the might of the Mountain Peak Treasure, the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator placed a wall in front of him, blocking all of Great Cultivator Lou’s flying sword attacks.

Occasionally, he also cast a Falling Stone Technique at Great Cultivator Lou. Although it could not hit him, it still forced Great Cultivator Lou to dodge, allowing him to catch a breath.

Great Cultivator Lou had an angry look on his face, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Slash! Slash! Slash!" he shouted loudly, unleashing his full power this time.

The Lifebound Flying Sword, carrying a Flame Sword Intent, fiercely slashed toward the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator. The White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator felt the power of this attack and couldn’t help but place most of his defense at the front.

At that moment, a sword light approached from afar; it was the light of a Sword Escape.

Due to its speed and flying from the onlookers, it almost instantly reached the attack range of the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator.

Even faster than this figure was a Lifebound Flying Sword containing a terrifying Sword Intent that made people’s hearts palpitate.

The White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator sensed the danger, but the opponent came too quickly. By the time he wanted to mount a defense, it was already too late.

Most of his energy was used to resist Great Cultivator Lou’s full-force attack, leaving his rear defense much weaker, providing an opportunity for the approaching figure.

The person who came was Li Yuanba. As he approached the spatial rift, the two teams of cultivators from Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and White Emperor Sect had already engaged in battle.

While some cultivators saw him, none attempted to stop him. Even the Great Cultivators present did not issue a warning to the White Emperor Sect about Li Yuanba’s return.

When Li Yuanba was attacked, filled with anger, it derailed his plans, which could cause significant trouble in the future.

Li Yuanba was almost universally recognized as a genius who could surely advance to a Great Cultivator, and even now, his combat power was on par with ordinary Great Cultivators.

Unless absolutely necessary, no Great Cultivator would want to offend such a genius cultivator.

Moreover, every Great Cultivator present owed Li Yuanba a favor. Without the support of Li Yuanba’s ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skill, many of these Great Cultivators would have been injured in the prolonged battle against the Hell Creatures.

Li Yuanba sent a message to Great Cultivator Lou, who coordinated with his actions, allowing Li Yuanba to launch the surprise attack on the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator.

A sword imbued with ’Chaos Sword Intent,’ it was a strike with immense power he had charged for a long time. If the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator was in a full defensive state, he might have been able to block it.

However, dividing most of his defense to face Great Cultivator Lou’s attack meant only a minimal part of his defense remained to resist the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ of the Xingyi Sword.

The Xingyi Sword struck the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator’s back, and with the sound of tearing, the Great Cultivator’s defense was breached.

The Xingyi Sword followed its first strike with another on the Great Cultivator’s back, causing his body to stiffen. The complex destructive attributes of ’Chaos Sword Intent’ simultaneously damaged his body and Nascent Soul.

He exerted every effort to mobilize his spiritual power, attempting to resist the destruction, but it was far from easy.

’Chaos Sword Intent’ wreaked havoc with overwhelming force, tearing through the flesh and Nascent Soul of the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator. He opened his mouth wide, trying to call for help from his comrades but found himself unable to do so.

Great Cultivator Lou’s Lifebound Flying Sword, detecting an absence of resistance, did not press the attack on the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator. He felt it unnecessary.

Great Cultivator Lou understood the terror of Li Yuanba’s Sword Intent; knowing how destructive it was, he chose not to pursue further, as the outcome was already determined.

Among the observing cultivators, few Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners saw the might of the ’Chaos Sword Intent,’ but all the Great Cultivators recognized its formidable strength.

They saw clearly the fearsome prowess of Li Yuanba. Even a Great Cultivator adept in defense from the White Emperor Sect was rendered powerless after his defense was breached, unable to escape even with his Nascent Soul.

It was manifest to them that if their treasures penetrated the defensive measures of the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator, they still might not achieve the results Li Yuanba did.

A Great Cultivator might succeed in defeating the foe, but the chances of delivering a fatal blow are slim unless it is a killing strike, denying the opponent any chance to activate life-saving items.

The activation of such items typically takes only a breath of time, and a Great Cultivator, even relying on the flesh’s defense, can usually endure for that brief interval when sensing a life-threatening danger.

Yet, it was clear the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator never had the opportunity to activate his life-saving item, as Li Yuanba’s Sword Intent froze both his body and Nascent Soul, depriving him of even that momentary chance.

Master Wang He’s eyes flickered; he felt some regret.

Li Yuanba posed a considerable threat. Currently, Li Yuanba’s Nascent Soul Middle Stage power allows Wang He, with his Great Cultivator Peak strength, to securely suppress him.

But once Li Yuanba advances to a Great Cultivator, suppressing him will be much more challenging.

Even the Sword Intent from Li Yuanba caused Master Wang He to feel threatened.

He planned to start arranging strategies against Li Yuanba once he returned to the Yuqing Sect.

In the Hell Cave Heaven, he would not risk violating their pact by acting against Li Yuanba. Besides, there was another reason he didn’t dare to act against Li Yuanba or Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion in the Hell Cave Heaven.

Reflecting on this, Master Wang He looked at the life force fading from the defeated White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator, a mocking expression in his eyes.

"Truly courting death!" he thought to himself.

Even if Li Yuanba hadn’t slain this White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator, considering what the Great Cultivator had done, the result likely would have been the same once that person arrived.

He knew well that individual’s temper was not the least bit pleasant, especially in confrontation.

Li Yuanba had slain one White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator and was preparing to attack the remaining two when they suddenly activated their ’Space Acceptance Talismans.’

Before Li Yuanba’s astonished eyes, the two White Emperor Sect Great Cultivators vanished, leaving him with a look of surprise.

Li Yuanba felt an unvoiced aspiration; these two White Emperor Sect Great Cultivators had escaped directly using his own ’Space Acceptance Talisman.’

Fortunately, the ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skill on the slain White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator was strengthened by him. After being hit by the Xingyi Sword, its energy did not heal the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator; otherwise, slaying him might have become troublesome.
