Li Yuanba walked into the outer gate combat department mission hall. He came to the mission handover point, took out a corpse and threw it on the ground.
"Hand in the task!" he said coldly.
The murderous intent on his body spread outward without any concealment, and every cultivator who felt this murderous intent unconsciously moved away from him.
It is true that the Senluo Sect is a large sect, but even the foundation-building monks in the outer sect combat unit who like to fight do not have such high-intensity missions.
In just over a month, five hostile cultivators in the early stage of foundation building died at his hands, and their bodies were sent to him for completion.
Adding the corpses of three early Foundation Establishment cultivators, one middle Foundation Establishment cultivator, and one late Foundation Establishment cultivator that were sent here before, he has killed ten Foundation Establishment cultivators in the short time since he entered the sect.
This kind of killing is also extremely conspicuous in the Senluo Sect of the Demon Sect.
The deacon at the task handover point turned the body over, checked it, and then completed the task for Li Yuanba and transferred the deserved contribution points into Li Yuanba's identity jade disc.
Li Yuanba looked at the identity jade disc and saw that the contribution points had reached 2050. He nodded with satisfaction.
Continuously completing combat missions gave him a lot of resources.
He collected the body, which was also a trophy.
Among the demonic cultivators, the price of a complete corpse of a foundation-building cultivator is not low, and it is an excellent material for corpse refining.
On the second floor of the mission hall, an elder looked at Li Yuanba below with great interest. A pure swordsman like Li Yuanba was extremely rare in the Senluo Sect.
Demon cultivators have too many ways to improve themselves quickly, but few are willing to hone themselves bit by bit and spend a lot of time comprehending the sword intent to become sword cultivators.
"Give the sixteenth hunting mission to this kid!" When Li Yuanba was about to accept the mission again, the deacon in front of him heard an order.
The deacon was visibly startled, then he understood.
He glanced upwards with fear on his face, then quickly retracted his gaze, fearing that he would cause the elders' dissatisfaction.
"Fellow Daoist, I see that you have completed many assassination missions in succession. I have a mission with a high reward. Would you like to take it?" The deacon asked Li Yuanba with a smile.
"What is the mission?" Li Yuanba became interested. This type of mission rarely appears in the mission list. Missions with high rewards will be given priority by inner disciples or true disciples.
Here I want to talk about the mission system of Senluo Sect. Senluo Sect attaches great importance to combat missions.
If the reward for a task to kill a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage is 100 contribution points, then the contribution points obtained by cultivators at different levels for completing the task are not fixed.
If this task is completed by a cultivator in the late foundation building stage, it will be considered a first-level task and can obtain 100 contribution points.
If the task is completed by a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, it will be a level 2 task and the contribution points obtained will increase by 50%.
If a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building completes the task, the task will be a level three task, and the contribution points will be increased to 100%.
Of course, if a cultivator of a higher level completes a combat mission of a lower level, the contribution points he obtains will also drop significantly.
This means that most of the monks in the Senluo Sect complete level one tasks, and few monks complete low-level tasks. In this way, they spend the same amount of time but can only get half the contribution points, which is really not cost-effective.
There are no powerful foundation-building cultivators in the outer gate combat unit. The truly powerful foundation-building cultivators have all entered the inner gate, so there are cultivators who take the initiative to do the second and third level tasks.
"This is the mission!" The deacon handed a handwritten mission brief to Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba took the mission briefing. This was a level one mission for his realm, but the mission reward was as high as 2,000 contribution points. He killed ten Foundation Establishment cultivators, including one late Foundation Establishment cultivator, to get this many contribution points.
In other words, this task is extremely difficult. According to the sect's judgment, the danger level of this cultivator in the early stage of foundation building is comparable to that of a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.
The target of the mission is the remnants of Houtu Sect. Houtu Sect was originally a medium-to-large sect in the Shiwan Mountains. After the mountain gate was breached by Senluo Sect, Houtu Sect became history.
However, many cultivators from Houtu Sect still escaped, and this true disciple named Ren Pengxiao was one of them.
The Senluo Sect dealt with these hostile monks by using the intelligence network distributed throughout the Shiwandashan Mountains to conduct investigations and report any discovery immediately.
The sect will not send out monks of higher realms to deal with it, but will let monks of the same realm take action. This kind of battle is of great benefit to improving the strength of the monks of Senluo Sect, and also allows the sect's monks with strong talents to obtain more resources, making the strong stronger.
Under normal circumstances, such a task would never fall into the hands of the outer sect.
The true disciples of medium to large sects, and those who have their sect destroyed, may have a lot of life-saving items on them. These are the best prey for the inner sect and true disciples of Senluo Sect.
You have to know that with such a mission objective, you will need to carry a lot of resources with you.
Li Yuanba was a little confused. He didn't know why such a task fell into his hands.
But since there is such an opportunity, he will not let it go.
"I'll take this task!" Li Yuanba said in a deep voice.
"I'll handle the formalities for you right away!" The deacon felt relieved, having finally completed what the elder had asked him to do.
Li Yuanba didn't even return to the cave. He took out the jade flying boat and headed towards the mission target.
The intelligence system of the Senluo Sect is very terrifying. Ren Pengxiao, a true disciple of the Houtu Sect, hid in a family of independent cultivators and became the son-in-law of that family.
After three days of traveling, Li Yuanba arrived at the family of independent cultivators.
The strongest cultivator of this independent cultivator family is only a patriarch in the early stage of foundation building, and the rest are all cultivators in the Qi Refining stage. Their strength is equivalent to nothing compared to the mission target.
He put away the flying boat. In his eyes, the formation of this immortal cultivation family was very poor.
Although he could not directly mobilize the main body's formation Starlight Sea and IBMz15 for help, but with the knowledge of a high-level formation master, some ordinary formations could be solved without the help of the main body.
The family of independent cultivators was very poor, and the formation they used could only be used for warning. Its defensive effect was only at the Qi Refining stage. A cultivator at the late Qi Refining stage could break the formation with several full-strength attacks.
Li Yuanba did not need to break the formation. He slipped into the formation from a corner, and followed the direction of the spiritual power line, continuously dodging the nodes in the formation. Without alarming the formation, he easily entered the formation.
There are several courtyards in the formation, and the spiritual energy is quite sufficient. There should be a medium-grade spiritual vein.
He set his sights on one of the courtyards. On the surface, there was no apparent difference between that courtyard and the other courtyards, but the formations arranged there were completely on a different level.
The courtyard's defensive formation was arranged by a formation plate made by a formation master. Li Yuanba could no longer enter as easily as before relying on his own formation level.
However, he didn't need to study the formation anymore. He took out thirty-six formation flags and arranged them outside the yard.
After the formation was formed, he no longer had any scruples and soared into the air, hovering in the air outside the courtyard.
"Ren Pengxiao, come out and die!" Li Yuanba shouted loudly, mobilizing his spiritual power.
At the same time, the golden sword in his hand had already heavily slashed on the defensive formation of the yard. The formation shook for a while, and the sword light rose and fell again.
In just two breaths, the Swift Wind Golden Light Sword slashed down five times in a row with terrifying sword intent. After all, the formation was not a truly complete formation, and there was no cultivator who was proficient in formations to preside over it. Under his full-strength attack, it was quickly broken open.
"Ren Lang, what happened?" A female cultivator's voice came, and then a male cultivator flew into the air from the courtyard.
The powerful aura displayed by Li Yuanba made the cultivators from this weak immortal cultivation family dare not show up.
After they discovered that Ren Pengxiao was actually coming towards the newcomer, they realized that Ren Pengxiao, who had always appeared to be in the late Qi Refining stage, was actually a powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"Li Yuanba from the outer sect of Senluo Sect has been ordered to take your life!" Li Yuanba said loudly, feeling Ren Pengxiao's breath.
He was revealing his identity to the immortal cultivation family. If the cultivators of the immortal cultivation family took any action during the battle, it would be tantamount to making an enemy of the Senluo Sect.
"I never thought that I, Ren Pengxiao, would be hunted down by the outer disciples of Senluo Sect. Hahaha!" Ren Pengxiao let out a crazy laugh of humiliation.
No matter what, he was also a true disciple of Houtu Sect, but Senluo Sect only sent an outer disciple to kill him.
He is also a monk of the sect, so he naturally knows the situation of the sect's mission.
He thought that he might be found by the true disciples of Senluo Sect, or at worst, an inner disciple would come. Senluo Sect really looked down on him, and it was an outer disciple who came.
The feeling of humiliation and anger made him feel a strong desire to kill.
"Kill!" Li Yuanba didn't care what he was thinking and waved his hand and the sword flew away.
A spiritual weapon shield flew out of Ren Pengxiao's hand and blocked the sword light. Just as he was about to drive the spiritual weapon to attack Li Yuanba, he found that the spiritual weapon shield was a little unstable.
"Are you a swordsman?!" Ren Pengxiao let out a sharp cry, with a hint of horror in his voice.
He finally understood why Senluo Sect would send this outer disciple to carry out the mission. How could such a pure swordsman appear in Senluo Sect, and as an outer disciple at that?
He made the decision in an instant. Killing a sword cultivator from the Senluo Sect was no worse than killing an inner sect disciple or a true disciple.
He took out a yellow sphere, and when the earth-attributed spiritual power was stimulated, the yellow sphere emitted a yellow light curtain, blocking the sword light.
This is a special spiritual weapon of the Houtu Sect. It can store a certain amount of earth spiritual power and emit a thick earth-based defensive shield when needed.
The defense of this thick earth-based defensive shield is enough to block several full-strength attacks from a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, which can give him enough time to kill Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba's sword light fell on the earth-based defensive shield, and the effect was no longer as obvious as before.
His eyes narrowed because he saw Ren Pengxiao taking out a talisman.
Li Yuanba knew that he could not give Ren Pengxiao a chance, so he activated the secret method of the Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique. The sword light became several times faster, and he continuously attacked a point on the earth-element defense shield.
He no longer held back and rushed forward, activating the 'Sword Demon Secret Book' with all his strength, and a third-grade sword base appeared in his hand.
The third-grade sword base was in front, and his body was pushing the third-grade sword base with all its might. This was a charging tactic from the 'Sword Demon Secret Book', which gathered all the spiritual power and strength in the body and concentrated it on the tip of the third-grade sword base.
The target of the third-grade sword base attack is the position where the sword light hits continuously.
After more than a month of fighting, he considered himself a true swordsman and did not call out his generals and ministers when he sensed danger.
Until the final life-and-death crisis comes, he will only trust his sword.
Of course, there are still some problems with his sword cultivation. A normal sword cultivator only has one flying sword, but in addition to a flying sword, he also has a close-range long sword.
But this did not affect the fact that he was a sword cultivator. As his mind was focused on the tip of the third-grade sword base, all his sword intent was concentrated on the tip of the sword. Even the flying sword stopped moving at this moment.
"Kill!" When the tip of the third-grade sword base collided with the earth-based defense shield, he let out a loud shout.
A harsh friction sound came from the tip of the sword. It was the sound of the gold spiritual power in the third-grade sword base forcibly piercing the earth spiritual power in the shield.
At this time, two breaths of time had passed since Li Ren Pengxiao took the talisman, and runes were already flashing on the talisman.
He was extremely confident in his defense. If it was a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, he might not be able to hold out for long. However, a cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage, even if he was a true disciple of the Senluo Sect, would not be able to break this defense within three breaths.
His confidence in fighting against the true disciples of Senluo Sect is the combination of thick earth shield beads and talismans.
He believed that as long as he used it first, he could kill the true disciples of Senluo Sect.
The third-grade sword base was stuck on the earth shield generated by the thick earth shield bead. This was the special defensive effect of this earth-attributed defensive treasure and would not be easily broken. Even if it was broken a little, the defensive shield would not be completely broken.
Only a little bit of the tip of the third-grade sword penetrated the earth-based defensive shield. The tip of the sword was thirty centimeters away from Ren Pengxiao, but these thirty centimeters seemed like an insurmountable chasm.
Seeing that the talisman in Ren Pengxiao's hand was about to be fully activated, the sword intent in Li Yuanba's eyes rose. Due to the pressure from the talisman, Li Yuanba drove the sword intent frantically.
A thin thread of sword light flew out from the third-grade sword base, sweeping across Ren Pengxiao's arm holding the talisman like a breeze blowing across the treetops.
Silently, Ren Pengxiao's arm and the talisman separated from his body. The talisman, which had been mostly activated, returned to calm.
"Sword intent turns into silk!" Ren Pengxiao seemed not to feel the pain at the broken arm, he muttered to himself.
Sword intent has many forms. The common effect of sword intent is to destroy the spiritual imprints within magical weapons. The rest of the effects depend on the sword cultivator's own understanding of sword intent.
Li Yuanba practiced the 'Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique'. Although his sword intent was not as good as Li Shiming's due to the lack of sword bones, he was better in understanding the sword intent as he practiced sword as his main technique.
