Li Yuanba would not be provoked by Jueyuan Buddha. He kept using the differentiated sword light to retreat out of the range of the white lotus, while constantly attacking Jueyuan Buddha with the Gale Golden Light Sword.
However, the figure of Jueyuan Buddha kept flickering, and his flying sword could not capture the figure of Jueyuan Buddha at all, and every attack fell on the illusory shadow.
This was the most terrifying opponent he had ever encountered, and the sword cultivator's methods had no effect on him.
Of course, Li Yuanba’s main problem was his lack of realm, which made him restricted in everything.
If they were at the same level, it would be hard to say who would have the advantage.
Helplessly, he could only split the sword light again. It was originally divided into two sword lights, one for him to use sword escape, and the other for main attack.
Now he divided the sword again, turning it into ten sword lights, nine of which were the main attack ones.
This was actually a method borrowed from the original body Li Shiming. The nine sword lights were equivalent to nine flying swords, but their power was much weaker. In addition, there was only one entity among them, and the Gale Golden Light Sword was not designed for formation, so it only had its shape.
Since the original body Li Shiming has done in-depth research on driving the nine flying swords, when there is no other way, Li Yuanba can use the nine sword lights to exert considerable power.
The nine sword lights were like nine swimming fish, constantly moving within a range of thirty to one hundred meters in front of him. They seemed to have no purpose, but they contained the art of formation.
The nine sword lights cannot form a powerful formation, but after all, they are energy bodies with spiritual power, and can also be used to arrange formations.
In addition, at this point in the battle, the original body Li Shiming was also providing help, using the power of IBMz15 to mobilize the computing power of IBMz15, allowing Li Yuanba to deploy troops in battle.
This is because Li Shiming's spirit has been greatly improved and his divine consciousness has been condensed, which allows him to communicate with IBMz15 as an intermediary without any delay.
Otherwise, based on Li Shiming's previous spirit, after his retelling, by the time IBMz15 calculated the result and then sent it back to Li Yuanba through him, there would be a delay of at least one moment, which would not be of any help in the battle.
The formation formed by the nine sword lights is very simple, it is a maze.
The so-called maze does not affect the soul, but creates illusions to make the person inside lose his way.
Li Yuanba didn't know what effect this would have on Jueyuan Buddha, but he had to try it anyway. He didn't have many means to deal with Jueyuan Buddha at the moment.
Buddha Jueyuan used the secret method of Buddhism to move continuously and quickly, leaving him with very little time to think, so he moved almost according to his body's instinct.
Under normal circumstances, he would not be affected by the small maze, but when he moved according to instinct, his brain only made judgments based on the environment on the scene.
The figure of Buddha Jueyuan was affected by the maze, and soon he began to flash in an orderly manner in the maze set up by nine sword lights.
In the maze, he was still moving extremely fast, so fast that the process of moving could almost be ignored, and his figure kept flashing on the white lotus.
But due to the effect of the maze, his movements were guided by the maze, which gave Li Yuanba the opportunity to grasp the order of his movements.
It only took two breaths for Buddha Jueyuan to discover something was wrong. When he was about to react, Li Yuanba's counterattack arrived.
Nine sword lights suddenly flashed, and even the sword light under Li Yuanba disappeared. All the sword lights merged into one and shot towards an empty white lotus.
Just as the sword light approached the white lotus, the figure of Buddha Jueyuan appeared.
The sword light avoided the bronze bell in front of Jueyuan Buddha. In addition, Jueyuan Buddha moved so fast that he could not fully exert the power of the bronze bell. He was already at his best by being able to use the bronze bell for defense while moving so fast.
A normal cultivator who wants to achieve extreme speed must give up the defense of spiritual weapons. He must choose one of the two; it is impossible to have both.
The bronze bell was refined by Buddha Jueyuan through secret methods. It has a very deep connection with him, so he can use the bronze bell while moving at high speed. However, he can only block it in front of him and cannot defend his entire body.
A tearing sound was heard, and Li Yuanba's sword light swept across Jueyuan Buddha, leaving a one-foot long wound on Jueyuan Buddha's body.
The wound was long, but not fatal because of its limited depth.
Li Yuanba's face looked grim. This Buddha Jueyuan's body training had also reached the level of the late stage of foundation building, far exceeding his own realm.
This shows that Buddha Jueyuan either took some spiritual substance like monkey wine, or obtained the relics of a powerful Buddhist, which accelerated the process of body refining.
In other words, Li Yuanba's sword was a sword with sword intent, which was able to break through the defense of Buddha Jueyuan and hurt Buddha Jueyuan's body.
He calculated the final blow and was unable to use his full strength, only causing minor injuries to Jueyuan Buddha.
"Good opponent, you didn't use the methods of a sword cultivator just now!" Buddha Jueyuan was not angry because of his injury, but laughed and said.
Such an opponent is really rare. He has few rivals among his peers in Chiba Temple. Even among the Buddhas in the later stages, there are only a few who can fight him with their full strength.
The skin and flesh at the site of Buddha Jueyuan's injury turned over and tightened, and the wound was no longer visible.
This did not mean that his injuries had healed. It was just that he was using the Lianben technique to control his muscles and skin to forcibly lock the wound.
The wound was nothing; the problem was the sword intent within it. The sword intent of the sword cultivator was affecting his injuries, and he needed to use his spiritual power to force out the sword intent.
But how could Li Yuanba force him to use his sword intent? The sword light shot towards his body again.
Buddha Jueyuan shouted loudly, and the bronze bell emitted light, covering his body.
He completely relied on the defense of the bronze bell, seemingly preparing to force out the sword intent in his body before making any plans.
How could Li Yuanba miss such an opportunity? As the sword light flashed, the sword threads formed by the sword intent moved on the bronze bell, constantly attacking the spiritual imprint inside the bronze bell.
He believed that no matter how strong the spiritual imprint was, it could be erased by repeated sword attacks.
Now he was competing with Buddha Jueyuan to see who would erase the spiritual imprint of the bronze bell first, or Buddha Jueyuan would expel the sword intent from his body first.
There was about 150 meters between the two men, and they were in a standoff.
The bronze bell completely blocked the Buddha Jueyuan. In addition, the bronze bell also had the function of isolating spiritual thoughts, making it impossible for Li Yuanba to sense his situation inside.
In fact, Buddha Jueyuan did not heal his wounds. He knew very well that he would not be able to kill Li Yuanba without using any means.
Yes, until now, Jueyuan Buddha still has absolute confidence in defeating Li Yuanba. What he has always wanted is to kill Li Yuanba here, not just defeat him.
The better Li Yuanba performed, the more determined Jueyuan Buddha became to kill Li Yuanba.
With such a terrifying fighting talent, if Li Yuanba is allowed to grow up, it will be a big trouble for the righteous.
Just like Elder Jian of the Senluo Sect, he became a huge threat to the Jindan stage.
Buddha Jueyuan has a long-term vision, and his status as a true disciple gives him a strong sense of the overall situation.
Just like this time Qianye Temple took the initiative to provoke a war among the foundation-building monks, it was planned. Once the plan succeeds, it will cause the Senluo Sect to suffer huge losses at least at the level of foundation-building monks.
The strength of the Senluo Sect, which has lost a generation of foundation-building monks, is bound to decline greatly in the next few decades. It will take at least forty or fifty years to cultivate a large number of foundation-building monks to make up for the loss.
Only a very small number of true disciples in Qianye Temple knew about the plan to kill a large number of foundation-building monks of the Senluo Sect.
Buddha Jueyuan used a secret method to suppress his injuries, and he saw Li Yuanba's weakness.
From the beginning of the battle, Li Yuanba kept retreating, trying to increase the distance between the two opponents in this way.
This is normal. Even Elder Jian, all sword practitioners will not get close to the enemy. Instead, they will use flying swords and sword intent to kill the enemy from a certain distance.
Nowadays, sword practitioners use flying swords instead of hand-held swords. The power of flying swords is greatly reduced when they are in close combat.
Therefore, Buddha Jueyuan did not treat his injuries, but simply suppressed them and immediately activated the secret method.
He wanted to use secret methods to instantly appear next to Li Yuanba, who was 150 meters away, but it would take some time to prepare. For this, he was even ready to risk his only spiritual weapon, the bronze bell.
The reason why Buddha Jueyuan can make the bronze bell spiritual weapon fearless of sword intent is because he only has the bronze bell spiritual weapon. Since becoming a Buddha, he has been constantly using secret methods to deepen his connection with the bronze bell spiritual weapon, making the bronze bell spiritual weapon have a stronger effect in resisting sword intent.
The bronze bell is a comprehensive spiritual weapon that can be used for both offense and defense. That is why Buddha Jueyuan only needs this single spiritual weapon.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths, the sword light outside, with sword intent turning into threads, was attacking the bronze bell frantically. Buddha Jueyuan could sense that his connection with the bronze bell was being weakened.
No matter how much you strengthen the resistance to sword intent, you cannot reach the level of ignoring sword intent.
Sword cultivators survive by attacking. If there really was a way to resist the sword intent of sword cultivators, the world of immortal cultivation would not recognize sword cultivators as the best in attack.
"There's enough time!" Buddha Jueyuan said to himself as he sensed the speed at which the spiritual imprint in the bronze bell was decreasing.
Li Yuanba was also surprised. He had never imagined that there would be a spiritual weapon that could withstand so many rounds of sword attacks.
If the opponent was a Jindan and was using a magic weapon, then it would be understandable that his sword intent was ineffective, but the opponent was only a Buddha in the middle stage of foundation building, and a spiritual weapon could actually withstand so many of his attacks.
Think about the speed of Buddha Jueyuan's movement. With such defense and speed, he is almost naturally invincible.
However, through his flying sword, he also sensed that the bronze bell could not hold out for long, and his sword light hit the bronze bell like raindrops.
The eyes of Jueyuan Buddha standing in the bronze bell suddenly opened wide, and lotus light seemed to appear in his eyes.
He gave up control of the bronze bell, and the distance he moved next made it impossible for him to carry the bell with him.
Behind Li Yuanba, a white lotus appeared without any warning. At the same time the white lotus appeared, the figure of Buddha Jueyuan disappeared into the bronze bell and appeared above the white lotus.
Buddha Jueyuan used a secret method that he had prepared long ago. A big hand turned into a golden handprint and struck towards Li Yuanba's vest.
Buddha Jueyuan was already extremely proficient in this type of attack, and many demon cultivators were killed on the spot by this move of his.
He was confident that he could kill Li Yuanba with this secret method without using any spiritual weapons.
Just when the golden handprint was about to hit Li Yuanba's back, Li Yuanba stepped sideways one step ahead as if he had known that he would appear behind him.
Li Yuanba set up the plan from the very beginning. After the fight, he realized that it was impossible to kill Jueyuan Buddha by normal means.
Even if he summoned his ministers, Buddha Jueyuan could use his unimaginable secret method of movement to escape far away.
So he displayed the fighting ability of a qualified swordsman, constantly using his speed to increase the distance, and just like a normal swordsman, he did not want to let Jueyuan Buddha get close to him.
He was waiting for Buddha Jueyuan to get close to him. Although the "Secret Book of the Sword Demon" was not a very powerful martial art, it was definitely top-notch in close combat before the Golden Core stage.
The 'Sword Demon Secret Book' is the inheritance of another school of sword cultivation. Although it is not comprehensive, it contains all the techniques before the Golden Core stage, and is able to bring out the combat power that a melee sword cultivator should have during the Foundation Establishment stage.
Buddha Jueyuan may have made great achievements in body training, and he also practiced secret close combat techniques.
But even though Buddha Jueyuan's close combat secret technique and Li Yuanba's "Sword Demon Secret Book" are of the same level, Li Yuanba was unintentional. The slightest mistake in close combat could lead to a completely different battle situation.
At the moment of dodging the golden handprint of Buddha Jueyuan and turning around, Li Yuanba's hand thrust out with the force of holding a sword. At the same time, the third-grade sword foundation was formed in his hand.
As Li Yuanba made great progress in his body training, the quality of the third-grade sword base was pushed to the extreme of spiritual weapons, surpassing all other spiritual weapons.
This is determined by the quality of the third-grade metal. You should know that the 'Sword Demon Secret Book' is for cultivating a magical sword for the Jindan period.
The reason why this sword was used was because it was the fastest attack in close combat, and also because he was too close to Jueyuan Buddha.
The straight line between the two points is the shortest. He had been planning this attack long ago, so the attack was almost instantaneous.
Buddha Jueyuan had never expected that Li Yuanba had actually hidden his melee combat ability in the previous battle, and that his melee combat ability had reached the late stage of foundation building.
He had just used secret techniques continuously and was unable to dodge after being tricked. He could only hope that his body-building technique could block the attack.
The third-grade sword base carried Li Yuanba's sword intent and turned into a ray of light that pierced into the center of the brows of Jueyuan Buddha. In order to prevent Jueyuan Buddha from counterattacking before his death, he let go of the hilt and stepped back after stabbing out the sword.
The third-grade sword base slowly turned into energy and returned to his body after dissipating.
There was a hole between the eyebrows of Jueyuan Buddha that could be seen behind him. He sat cross-legged on the ground without any sadness or joy, and the breath of life disappeared from his body.
Li Yuanba looked at Jueyuan Buddha who looked like a Buddha statue and shook his head. Such an enemy was really scary. If he hadn't planned it early on, he might not even be able to keep the secret of being a general.
