Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1869 - 981: Opportunity

The Xingyi Sword this time unleashed was Li Yuanba’s strongest flying sword attack.

After Xingyi Sword flew out, he felt a wave of emptiness inside.

However, his spirit was extraordinarily excited, feeling as if it was flying alongside the Xingyi Sword, slashing toward Yingchuan Bodhisattva’s clone.

The defensive power of Yingchuan Bodhisattva’s clone was not strong, which was also normal.

After losing its defensive energy, Yingchuan Bodhisattva’s clone was a body formed by the fusion of spirit and energy.

This body did not have the physical body like its true form, a pure energy body’s defense power is extremely weak.

Of course, if it were a purely physical attack, perhaps the effect on the energy body wouldn’t be very good, but the attack released by the Xingyi Sword contained Sword Intent.

The reason why Sword Cultivators have the strongest reputation among peers in the Cultivation World, and are known for breaking thousands of laws with one sword, is because they master Sword Intent.

The Sword Intent imbued within Xingyi Sword was the strongest Sword Intent Li Yuanba had cultivated over hundreds of years, fully imbuing all his insights into Sword Intent within the Xingyi Sword.

Although Yingchuan Bodhisattva’s clone wanted to struggle, his arms were held by two Dukes of Thunder while constantly attacked by lightning, causing a temporary paralyzing effect, leaving him unable to react to Xingyi Sword’s attack.

The Xingyi Sword cut into Yingchuan Bodhisattva’s clone, exactly where Sword Elder’s clone had struck.

There was already a one-inch wound, and since the Sword Intent within hadn’t been dispelled, the wound could not heal.

The Xingyi Sword penetrated the one-inch wound, delving two more inches inside.

This was the limit the Xingyi Sword could reach; after all, Li Yuanba’s realm was too low. If it wasn’t facing Yingchuan Bodhisattva’s clone instead of his true form, even the strongest sword could not break Yingchuan Bodhisattva’s true form’s defense.

With Sword Elder’s clone’s Sword Intent eroding Yingchuan Bodhisattva’s clone’s body, as he diverted attention to deal with the Duke of Thunder, Red Demon, and Li Yuanba, he could only barely sustain it, at this moment more Sword Intent invaded from the Xingyi Sword.

The ’Chaos Sword Intent’ entered Yingchuan Bodhisattva’s clone, immediately launching an attack against his soul.

Yingchuan Bodhisattva’s clone let out a furious roar, the pain from his soul nearly causing him to break free from the two Dukes of Thunder.

The two Dukes of Thunder then did more than just restrain Yingchuan Bodhisattva’s clone; they mobilized their energy, rushing towards Yingchuan Bodhisattva’s clone.

Red Demon also increased his attack on Yingchuan Bodhisattva’s clone, with fire energy also invading it.

"Die for me!" Yingchuan Bodhisattva’s clone abandoned the idea of capturing Li Yuanba alive, mobilizing the Inheritance Cave Heaven Energy within him to launch an ice needle at Li Yuanba.

This ice needle, utilizing Inheritance Cave Heaven Energy, was powerful enough to instantaneously kill any Half-step Great Power.

In such a besieged situation, he utilized the most critical Inheritance Cave Heaven Energy within his clone, leaving him even more precariously situated.

However, he thought that as long as he eliminated Li Yuanba, the forces summoned by Li Yuanba would cease their attack.

An ice needle containing Inheritance Cave Heaven Energy naturally moved at extreme speeds.

The ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’ instinctively blocked the ice needle, with its body surface enveloped in ice crystals, the horrifying power of Ice Rules attempting to damage the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’s’ internal form.

Yet, the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’s’ defense was extremely strong, as it was a Half-step Body Refining entity, nearly comparable in defense to a Great Power’s true form.

Although the Inheritance Cave Heaven Energy within the ice needle carried a destructive aura, it only lightly impacted the ’Golden Bodhisattva Protector’.

Due to executing such an attack, Yingchuan Bodhisattva’s clone’s aura weakened significantly, with the impact from attacks by Xingyi Sword, Duke of Thunder, and Red Demon on Yingchuan Bodhisattva’s clone intensifying.

At this moment, Li Yuanba’s figure vanished from the spot, appearing before Yingchuan Bodhisattva’s clone with a Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation in hand.

Still aiming for that wound, Li Yuanba this time inserted the Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation into it.

The Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation struck the backside of Xingyi Sword, thrusting it deeper into Yingchuan Bodhisattva’s clone.

Simultaneously, the Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation linked with Xingyi Sword to form a connected entity, the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ contained within Xingyi Sword now connected with Li Yuanba’s Nascent Soul.

The Sword Intent Rule within the Nascent Soul flickered continuously, allowing ’Chaos Sword Intent’ to flow ceaselessly like a source-fed river.

The intensified injury made Yingchuan Bodhisattva’s clone’s eyes widen; he never imagined that his clone would be vanquished by a Peak Great Cultivator.

But no matter how unwilling he was, it was futile; Yingchuan Bodhisattva’s clone, suffering multiple attacks, ultimately fell under the ’Chaos Sword Intent’.

As Yingchuan Bodhisattva’s clone perished, Li Yuanba received feedback on combat insights from the ’Chaos Sword Intent’.

Starting from that Sword Intent unleashed by Sword Elder’s clone, Li Yuanba had planned his ensuing combat strategy.

Slaying Yingchuan Bodhisattva’s clone wasn’t difficult; the clone injured by Sword Elder’s clone had insufficient remaining power, and Li Yuanba knew too well the terror of Sword Elder’s Sword Intent.

Attempting to suppress Sword Elder’s Sword Intent, one’s strength wouldn’t suffice.

On one side, there were two Dukes of Thunder for close combat, with lightning attack capabilities, and for ranged attack, there was Red Demon, whose attacks approached the Great Power level.
