In an instant, four demon cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building each used their own methods, showing their weirdness and power.
The demonic cultivators are able to contend against the righteous in Northern Shu, so they certainly have their own advantages.
For example, refining corpses is equivalent to having an extra helper with similar strength to your own. Spirit insects are extremely poisonous and it will be a big trouble if they come into contact with you.
The demon cultivator's method of combining ghosts and spirits can, to some extent, be compared to powerful body training, and its defense is even stronger, but it is limited in time and is an explosive technique.
Finally, the invisible demon cultivator was practicing assassination techniques, which were even more vicious and deadly.
Li Yuanba was well prepared. Although he had not had much dealings with the demon cultivators at Wanjian Peak, he still had some experience with them.
The reason why sword cultivators are known as the best in attack is that they hardly need to rely on external defense methods, but they also have their own ability to deal with the enemy. Otherwise, sword cultivators would have been extinct long ago.
The physical defense of a sword cultivator is extremely strong, only slightly weaker than that of a cultivator who specializes in body refining. In addition, the speed of a sword cultivator is extremely fast. Even if they do not use sword escape in a short-range battle, their mobility is far better than that of other cultivators. These are all ways to deal with the attacks of cultivators.
Li Yuanba even practiced the 'Sword Demon Secret Book', and his physical defense and speed were even faster than those of ordinary sword practitioners.
His figure flashed, avoiding the group of spirit insects, and the sword light flashed past the ghost in the early stage of foundation building.
The ghost in the early stage of foundation building let out a sharp howl that pierced its soul. The originally physical sword light could hardly cause serious damage to the ghost in the early stage of foundation building.
If you want to deal with ghosts in the early stages of foundation building, the best way is to use magic, especially high-powered fire magic, which can cause the greatest damage to ghosts.
However, the sword light of the sword cultivator carries the sword intent, and the foundation for the sword cultivator to break all the techniques is this sword intent.
The ghost in the early stage of foundation building was hit by the sword light. The huge gap cut by the sword light caused an unhealable wound on the body of the invisible ghost.
Moreover, this wound was constantly being damaged by the residual sword intent and was slowly expanding.
"He is Elder Jian's disciple!" Wang Chengjun screamed in extreme fear.
It was not certain before, but after the actual action, the four demon cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building who were present naturally knew that Elder Jian was the most special existence in the sect.
Elder Jian is the strongest Jindan stage cultivator in the sect and has never accepted any disciples. Although there are sword cultivators in the sect, Elder Jian is the only pure sword cultivator.
As a pure swordsman and a true disciple, it is clear who Li Yuanba's master is without hesitation.
Elder Jian gained his reputation in the sect through killing. A sword cultivator who looked down on magic skills would find it difficult to survive in the Demon Sect if he did not have the means to suppress his peers.
Even if Wang Chengjun knew Li Yuanba's master, he was in a difficult situation at this point. They could either kill Li Yuanba or wait to be killed by the sect or Elder Jian.
His shout had the opposite effect, causing the other demon cultivators to be slightly stunned and their movements to slow down for a moment.
The only one who was not affected was the demon cultivator whose body exploded into a three-meter-tall monster. This method of combining ghosts and spirits would have an impact on the cultivator's mind, and he would fight with the enemy to the death. At the same time, the chance of being affected by the outside world would be reduced to the extreme.
So after the other three demon cultivators knew about Li Yuanba's master and their minds were affected, this three-meter giant demon cultivator approached Li Yuanba.
The huge spiritual weapon battle axe chopped down with full force, and the air was heard to make explosion sounds. The terrifying pressure carried the cold spiritual power unique to demon cultivators and ghosts, making Li Yuanba, who was attacked, feel cold all over.
Li Yuanba smiled coldly. He had a third-grade sword in his hand. He had no fear of close combat at all.
He dodged the blow of the giant axe by leaning sideways. The cold spiritual power was expelled by the spiritual power in his body and did not affect his speed.
The third-grade sword base made a backhand strike, which exceeded the iron corpse's defense. In front of the third-grade sword base that contained sword intent, it was as thin as paper.
From the lower side of the waist to the waist and chest on the other side, the three-meter giant demon cultivator was cut in half by a single sword.
This sword also broke the demon cultivator's method of combining his ghost and spirit. The ghost was the first to be killed by the sword. The demon cultivator's vitality was still strong. Although his body was broken into two pieces, he was still struggling desperately.
Li Yuanba ignored the demon cultivator. He knew the destructive power of his attack. This sword not only cut off the demon cultivator's body, but also destroyed his spiritual lake. At this moment, the demon cultivator could not even use a trace of spiritual power.
The spirit insect that was chasing him was attracted by the blood of the demon cultivator that was broken into two pieces. It changed its target and pounced on the wound of the demon cultivator, chewing it frantically.
The screams of the demon cultivator who had not yet died became even more miserable.
The other three demon cultivators all came to their senses. The invisible demon cultivator stopped approaching and retreated to the side.
"I will use the Iron Corpse to control him!" A look of determination flashed in the eyes of the demon cultivator who was controlling the ghost creature in the early stage of foundation building, and he used a secret method to transmit the message.
The Iron Corpse is very fast, but still a little slower than Li Yuanba. Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible to catch up with Li Yuanba.
However, there are special means in the secret method of corpse refining during the foundation-building period.
The Iron Corpse's legs exploded instantly and turned into the power to propel the Iron Corpse to move. The Iron Corpse's movement speed increased by more than three times in an instant.
This is a one-time desperate secret method that comes at the cost of damaging the Iron Corpse. Even if the Iron Corpse still exists after the war, it will be extremely difficult to repair it.
Cultivating a corpse to the iron corpse of the foundation-building period is not an easy task. A large amount of resources and time are invested, all of which will be lost after the secret method is used.
If this matter was not a matter of life and death, the demon cultivator would never have done this.
Not all magic cultivators are as lucky as Li Shiming, who had the help of the Netherworld Ghost Realm Formation when refining corpses, saving a lot of time and resources.
The greatly increased speed of the Iron Corpse caught Li Yuanba off guard. He did not expect that the Iron Corpse in the Foundation Establishment Stage had this ability.
The iron corpse turned into a beam of blood light, rushed to Li Yuanba, and hugged Li Yuanba's body regardless of anything.
It was not so easy to get close to sword cultivator Li Yuanba's body. Sword intent shot out from every part of his body, cutting the iron corpse's body.
But the Iron Corpse did manage to control him for a moment, giving other demon cultivators an opportunity.
The first one to approach was the invisible demon cultivator. At the moment the iron corpse exploded, the invisible demon cultivator tried his best to get closer to Li Yuanba.
While the iron corpse, with half of its body still remaining, hugged Li Yuanba, the invisible demon cultivator also appeared behind Li Yuanba, and a pitch-black dagger silently stabbed into Li Yuanba's vest.
No matter how powerful the invisibility secret technique is, it will be revealed when launching an attack. Attacking requires mobilizing spiritual power, which will destroy the invisibility secret technique. This is inevitable.
Wang Chengjun's movements were a little slow. He used a secret method to forcibly recall the blood-sucking spirit insect and flew towards Li Yuanba again. At the same time, a flying sword flew out of his hand and shot towards Li Yuanba.
For a moment, the situation on the battlefield seemed that Li Yuanba was in danger, but he was very calm.
"clang!"
A sound like the collision of metal and iron was heard on the battlefield. The demon cultivator behind him was a little dazed, because the spiritual weapon dagger in his hand stabbed Li Yuanba's body, but it was like stabbing on iron and stone.
No, even if it is iron or stone, the spiritual dagger can easily pierce it.
Of course, since it was a surprise attack after becoming invisible, the demon cultivator was unable to mobilize his strongest spiritual power, but this attack definitely had the normal attack power of a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.
It is precisely because Li Yuanba is a pure sword cultivator that the invisible magic cultivator chose this way of attack. Who told him that Li Yuanba did not have any defensive spiritual weapon on him?
But who would have thought that Li Yuanba's strongest defense was his own Taoist body. After taking the monkey wine, his "Sword Demon Secret Book" had already reached perfection, and his defense was as strong as that of a body-refining cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.
A normal attack from the middle stage of foundation building could not break his defense at all.
In addition, the spiritual weapon in the hands of the demon cultivator can only be considered as top-grade, and there is still some gap from the best grade. However, Li Yuanba's physical strength is not weaker than the spiritual weapon in the hands of the demon cultivator.
Li Yuanba was also angry. He almost got caught by accident, which was related to his lack of combat experience.
The third-grade sword in his hand first swept across the iron corpse, and then, in the instant of turning around, he beheaded the demon cultivator who was about to leave behind him with one sword.
At this time, Wang Chengjun's flying sword was approaching him, and the spirit insect was right in front of him.
"Kill!" Li Yuanba shouted angrily, and the sword light formed a sword net in front of him. There were also thin silk threads in the sword net, forming a sword net with almost no gaps in front of him.
Wang Chengjun's flying sword was just an ordinary spiritual weapon, without any sword intent. As soon as it came into contact with the sword light, it was as if it had been hit hard, and the spiritual imprint inside was worn away by several percentages.
Then the sword intent turned into silk thread and wrapped around the flying sword. The spiritual imprint in the flying sword was completely erased, and the flying sword fell from the air.
As for the spirit insects, their bodies were broken into several pieces under the attack of dense sword light and sword intent.
Wang Chengjun and another demon cultivator both spat out blood. One's iron corpse was annihilated, and the other's spirit insect and spiritual weapon were destroyed. Their spirits both suffered a certain backlash.
They turned around and wanted to escape. At this time, they no longer thought about other things. Life was the most important thing.
They all felt a little regretful. How could they have provoked such a sword cultivator, a sword cultivator who could break everything with one sword? Today they truly witnessed how terrifying a pure sword cultivator was.
How could Li Yuanba let them leave? When they turned around and tried to escape, the sword light caught up with them at a speed faster than them.
Wang Chengjun and another demon cultivator had no choice but to activate their defensive spiritual weapons, but this would greatly reduce their escape speed, making it increasingly impossible to escape.
Sword light danced around the two demon cultivators, and strands of sword intent turned into sword tails behind the sword light, hitting the defensive spiritual weapons of the two demon cultivators.
Within two breaths, the two demon cultivators vomited blood again. The continuous destruction of their spiritual weapons caused too much damage to their spirits.
However, they no longer needed to worry about mental trauma, because the sword light separated their damaged brains from their bodies, completely solving the problem of mental trauma.
The battle did not take long from start to finish, but its danger was unimaginable.
The demon cultivators had all kinds of tricks that were hard to defend against, and the fact that the other four demon cultivators were at a higher level than him made the battle somewhat stressful.
Li Yuanba shook his head. This battle was meaningless. He killed four demon cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building, but did not get any contribution points.
He took off the storage bags of four demon cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building, put the four corpses into one of the storage bags, cleaned up the battlefield, and left the battlefield without any hesitation.
The spiritual energy fluctuations caused by the battle should soon attract monks to investigate.
In this kind of environment, the battle must be ended quickly, otherwise there will be people who are waiting to take advantage of the situation.
Feeling that he was some distance away from the battlefield, he slowed down, and his spiritual thoughts entered several storage bags to check the harvest this time.
The storage bag of a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building contains a large number of spirit stones and various spiritual objects. On average, each storage bag can be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.
In particular, he found a golden jade slip in the storage bag of the invisible demon cultivator.
The golden jade slip is a storage slip that is only used for top-level skills, and it must not belong to the Senluo Sect, because no matter what level of skills, one must learn them within the sect and one cannot take them out of the sect.
Considering the strength of the middle stage of foundation building, this should be the opportunity for this demon cultivator to be outside.
There are many such things among monks. Every monk has been practicing for more than a hundred years. How could it be possible that there would be no opportunities at all?
However, the opportunities that cultivators encounter vary in size. Some cultivators seize the opportunity and soar to the sky, while some cultivators are hindered by the opportunity and die.
'The Secret Technique of Concealment', a top-notch secret technique of invisibility.
Li Yuanba didn't know that the invisible demon cultivator was quite famous among the inner disciples. It was because of his invisibility that many cultivators were troubled by him.
The spell of invisibility can be used in the Qi Refining Stage, but the spell of invisibility is only for ordinary people and cultivators who have just started Qi Refining.
For a Qi-refining monk who can truly sense spiritual energy, the invisibility spell is of no use to him. Instead, it will provoke the monk to take the initiative to attack. No matter what the situation is, you deserve to be counterattacked if you get close to a monk in stealth.
After the foundation-building stage, when one possesses spiritual thoughts, invisibility becomes even easier to break, and a sweep of spiritual thoughts can reveal an invisible cultivator.
But in the battle just now, Li Yuanba did not sense the location of the invisible demon cultivator. His spiritual power could be said to be extremely powerful, far surpassing that of cultivators of the same level, but he still did not discover anything.
If the invisible demon cultivator had not taken the initiative to show up and attack, perhaps this invisible demon cultivator would have been the only one among the four demon cultivators who could survive.
"As expected, there are still good things in the hands of ordinary cultivators, including golden belts for killing people and arson!" Li Yuanba muttered to himself with a satisfied smile on his face.
He killed quite a few foundation-building cultivators, including his original body, Li Shiming. He had never found any particularly valuable items in the storage bags of ordinary foundation-building cultivators.
In other words, they don't trust anyone, and even if they come to participate in such a war, they will put all their wealth on themselves to feel at ease. This also makes Li Yuanba's spoils extremely rich.
