Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1625: Chapter 859: Victory

The Great Venerable Ming Hai looked at Li Yuanba once again, and there was no longer any hint of contempt in his eyes.

’Chaos Sword Intent’ seemed to have been easily dispelled by him, but this was under the condition that Xingyi Sword had not broken through his body’s defense.

If the body’s defense were breached, the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ that entered the body wouldn’t be dispelled so easily.

Li Yuanba was secretly shocked by the strength of Great Venerable Ming Hai’s physique. Even though his previous strike did not use full power, as it primarily relied on a sneak attack, it was not something that an ordinary Great Cultivator could withstand.

This was the strongest enemy he had ever encountered. Instead of feeling nervous, his whole body became excited.

His gaze grew increasingly intense, looking at Great Venerable Ming Hai as if he were a treasure.

"Slash!" He shouted loudly. The power of Xingyi Sword surged greatly and shot toward Great Venerable Ming Hai once again.

Great Venerable Ming Hai waved his hand, and the Kasaya on his body flew out, transforming into a shield with the augmentation of his Spiritual Power Pattern, blocking in front of him.

Then he threw a Magic Vajra Pestle, which emitted beams of golden light mid-flight toward Li Yuanba.

The golden light carried a delaying force, instantly sealing off the area where Li Yuanba was located.

However, this time, the golden light of the Magic Vajra Pestle enveloped only a phantom.

Li Yuanba had already used ’Zhi Chi Tian Ya’ to dodge elsewhere, causing the attack of the Magic Vajra Pestle to miss.

Xingyi Sword slashed onto the Kasaya, and the golden light on the Kasaya flickered slightly.

Great Venerable Ming Hai’s brow furrowed slightly. This Kasaya treasure had been pierced before, weakening the power of this top-grade fourth-grade defense treasure by a few degrees.

After blocking the Xingyi Sword, he sensed that the spiritual imprint inside the Kasaya treasure had been eroded by the ’Chaos Sword Intent,’ reducing the spiritual imprint somewhat.

Even though his Spiritual Power Pattern was strong enough to augment the Kasaya treasure and block the Xingyi Sword’s attack, the terrifying effect of ’Chaos Sword Intent’ made it impossible to use the Kasaya treasure many more times.

This is the reason why top-tier Sword Cultivators are most headache-inducing for enemies. Of course, ordinary Great Cultivators don’t have this worry.

Because before the spiritual imprint inside an ordinary Great Cultivator’s treasure is erased, the treasure is first destroyed by the ’Chaos Sword Intent.’

Not having time to feel distressed over his Kasaya, Great Venerable Ming Hai took out a Golden Bell, also a top-grade fourth-grade treasure.

Before he could activate the Golden Bell, a figure appeared behind him.

Li Yuanba appeared with the Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation in his hand. Due to having mastered the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’ to the extreme, and having cultivated the ’Unnamed Sword Manual,’ his Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation’s quality was elevated to top-grade fourth-grade.

This sword strike was a close combat Secret Technique from the ’Unnamed Sword Manual,’ concentrating all his strength, Spiritual Power Pattern, ’Chaos Sword Intent,’ combined with the ’Sword Intent Rule.’

As Great Venerable Ming Hai sensed the attack from behind, the Golden Bell in his hand suddenly enlarged, smashing backward.

Li Yuanba could only sweep out half of his Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation before having to retract it, retreating to evade the Golden Bell’s attack.

Although the top-grade fourth-grade Golden Bell is not a treasure meant for smashing people, with the physical training of Great Venerable Ming Hai, the impact on Li Yuanba following the Golden Bell’s force was no less than the damage caused by a spell attack.

Though he forced Li Yuanba to retreat, the Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation still left a shallow sword mark on Great Venerable Ming Hai’s back.

Blood seeped from the wound on Great Venerable Ming Hai. For Great Venerable Ming Hai who specialized in body refinement, such an injury was negligible.

Under normal circumstances, such a wound would heal in a moment.

However, the shallow wound left by Li Yuanba’s Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation did not heal with time.

Because the wound was shallow, there wasn’t much bleeding, but blood continued to flow, unable to be staunched for the time being.

Great Venerable Ming Hai naturally knew the reason the wound couldn’t heal was due to ’Chaos Sword Intent’ embedded in it.

He could only use his Spiritual Power Pattern to seal the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ at the wound, preventing it from further eroding other parts of his body.

Then, he would slowly use the Spiritual Power Pattern to clear the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ from the wound, which was ten times more difficult than the previous attempt to dispel it.

He was furious in his heart, surrounded by so many Great Cultivators as spectators, and he had been injured first, even if the wound was small, it was a tremendous loss of face.

Do not be deceived by the fact that Great Venerable Ming Hai is a monk, as reaching such a powerful realm made him more sensitive than other cultivators; he could not tolerate the strange looks from others.

He opened his mouth, releasing a Thunder Sound Divine Ability centered on himself.

This was a widespread attack; regardless of Li Yuanba’s direction, as long as he was within range, he would suffer damage from the Thunder Sound Divine Ability.

But as soon as Li Yuanba sensed the presence of the Divine Skills, he first activated ’Zhi Chi Tian Ya’ to retreat to a distance.

By the time the sound waves of the Thunder Sound Divine Ability swept out, Li Yuanba was already in a safe position, unaffected by the Thunder Sound Divine Ability.

His mind moved slightly, and Xingyi Sword also distanced itself from Great Venerable Ming Hai upon the release of the Thunder Sound Divine Ability.

At this moment, Xingyi Sword once again shot toward Great Venerable Ming Hai. Great Venerable Ming Hai activated the Golden Bell, which hovered over his head, radiating a golden light that enveloped the surroundings of his body.

Xingyi Sword struck the golden light, causing it to waver but not disappear.

Li Yuanba, seeing his attack hindered, manipulated Xingyi Sword to target the main body of the Golden Bell.
