Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1451 - 772: Solo Kill
Previously on Cultivation is just so scientific!...
Li Yuanba held no concerns regarding the fight involving Grandmaster Lou and Grandmaster Wu. Despite the formidable power of that Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Being, the united might of the two Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators, along with their flawless teamwork, ensured that taking down just one such foe was simply inevitable.
In particular, because he had granted the 'Innate Wood' divine skill to both Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators, any wounds they might sustain would heal at an astonishing pace.
After the departure of the two Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators from the group, Li Yuanba refrained from joining the fray and turned his attention toward safeguarding Lou Wu.
Since Great Cultivator Lou had entered the conflict, ensuring Lou Wu's safety became his top priority.
Despite the two Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators no longer being present, the sword cultivator team's fighting power stayed steady, as they pressed on with eliminating the Hell Creatures scattered across the battlefield.
All of a sudden, Wu Qi's form was hurled through the sky, blood erupting from his mouth while a verdant radiance enveloped him—the distinctive restorative glow of the 'Innate Wood' divine skill.
While soaring mid-air, Wu Qi sensed a deep frustration, questioning why misfortune always seemed to target him specifically.
For the sake of shielding their individual teams, every core sword cultivator had stationed themselves at the positions most vulnerable to assaults within the formation.
Leading the team's advance were five Mid-stage Golden Corpses, posing no real threat that demanded attention from the core sword cultivators.
It fell upon each core sword cultivator to defend their team, and moreover, the boon of the 'Innate Wood' divine skill meant they could confront injuries without dread.
Though the 'Innate Jianmu Tree Heart' amplified his personal 'Innate Wood' divine skill to a tremendous degree, Li Yuanba simply couldn't extend the 'Innate Wood' divine skill to every one of the hundreds of sword cultivators all at once.
Exhausting his own resources held no appeal for him, which is why he selected only the core sword cultivators to receive it.
Up in the sky, Wu Qi triggered the 'Space Acceptance Talisman' embedded in his Identity Jade Disc, vanishing instantly just as a vicious claw slashed through the empty space he had occupied seconds earlier.
"Damn it, how could there be a second Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Being!" Li Yuanba spat out in fury.
Even as the words escaped his lips, his movements remained swift and unhesitating.
By his hand, 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' soared upward, completely encasing the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature within its domain.
The intensified gravitational force from the 'Gravity Gold Brick' pressed heavily upon the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature, hindering its speed and allowing the targeted sword cultivator precious moments to evade.
"Fall back!" Li Yuanba bellowed.
Across the whole sword cultivator team, excluding Grandmaster Lou and Grandmaster Wu, Li Yuanba commanded the utmost authority.
This hierarchy went unspoken, yet it was crystal clear to all sword cultivators involved.
The captains of the core sword cultivators recognized full well that Li Yuanba's overwhelming battle power, his role as an Alchemy Master, and his mastery of the 'Innate Wood' divine skill elevated him to a supreme rank among their ranks.
His status as the premier Nascent Soul Middle Stage expert only deepened the sword cultivators' profound faith in him.
Within the Cultivation World, unwavering power alone earned the loyalty of fellow cultivators, and Li Yuanba's formidable skills inspired profound admiration from the sword cultivators.
Consequently, at his command, the entire sword cultivator team pulled back without delay, stranding him alone to confront the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature head-on.
Meanwhile, Grandmaster Lou and Grandmaster Wu caught sight of the dire situation unfolding with the sword cultivator team. Separating now proved impossible; a lone Sword Cultivator Great Cultivator couldn't swiftly dispatch a Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Being on their own.
Should the two Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators divide their efforts, failing to rapidly end one Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Being, they would plunge into a grueling struggle.
Rather, it made more sense to finish off the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Being before them without delay, then turn their focus to the remaining threat.
Naturally, a key factor was Li Yuanba's presence on that front; his reputation included feats of defeating Great Cultivators.
Grandmaster Lou and Grandmaster Wu harbored no illusions that Li Yuanba would outright destroy the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature, but if he could merely hold it at bay until they concluded their own battle, that would be victory enough.
"Yuanba, just delay it a bit!" Great Cultivator Lou called out.
"Leave it to me!" Li Yuanba shot back.
While revealing the full caliber of the spiritual treasure 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' remained off-limits, the energy-converted flying swords it contained required no such secrecy.
"All swords, unleash!" Li Yuanba directed his finger toward 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak,' his voice booming with intensity.
From within 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' surged a vast multitude of energy-converted flying swords, and the sword cultivators from Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, with their acute affinity for such weapons, experienced a chilling shiver as these blades burst forth.
An overwhelming aura of peril washed over them, as though every single energy-converted flying sword harbored the potential to end their lives.
Out of the ten thousand energy-converted flying swords, close to eight thousand served as decoys, their embedded sword intent so faint that they posed no danger to the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature.
As a result, those eight thousand energy-converted flying swords swirled on the edges, orchestrated by the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' Artifact Spirit into a barrier array that kept the two thousand potent energy-converted flying swords, infused with Great Cultivator sword intent, isolated from the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature.
This tactic was his own invention, designed to safeguard as many secrets of 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' as possible during combat.
Luckily, the Artifact Spirit's assistance proved invaluable; without it, relying solely on his efforts, he lacked the mental capacity of Li Shiming's primary form and couldn't orchestrate such a multitude of energy-converted flying swords into intricate patterns all at once.
