The aura of Li Yuanba was as sharp as his sword intent. He was now a true swordsman. With a sword in his hand, no one could compete with him.
He likes fighting. Fighting is like a furnace, constantly forging his sword intent, and his sword intent grows rapidly in actual combat.
The extremely yang power in the sword intent is derived from the innate purple energy, which can restrain almost all evil energies. In this kind of battle against the enemy demon cultivators, its terrifying suppressing effect is even more obvious.
Yu Piao was the fastest. His figure changed and he was within a distance enough to attack Li Yuanba. Twelve fine needles flew out and shot towards Li Yuanba.
Although the needle is small, its material is of the third grade. That is to say, the demand for materials for a spiritual weapon like a needle is extremely small, which is why he has this spiritual weapon that exceeds its level with the third grade material.
This was also the foundation for him to gain a foothold among the true disciples. Due to the terrifying fighting power displayed by Li Yuanba, he would launch the strongest attack as soon as he made a move and did not dare to hide anything.
Li Yuanba's spiritual consciousness was always kept by his side. When the twelve fine needles shot at him, he sensed something was wrong. These twelve fine needles gave him a feeling similar to that of a third-grade sword foundation.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he stretched out his right hand, and a third-grade sword appeared in his right hand.
Although he did not specialize in the method of splitting the mind, his clone can also use the method of mental application learned from the original body, especially now that he also possesses spiritual thoughts. Except for the fact that he cannot use spiritual thoughts to refine pills, there is almost no difference between the clone and the original body in the application of mental power.
Half of his mind was controlling the flying sword, and the other half was focused on the third-grade sword base in his hand.
Li Yuanba is now a combination of two sword skills, the long-range flying sword style and the close-range long sword style. At least in the foundation-building period, the 'Sword Demon Secret Book' can still compete with the long-range flying sword style.
When Yu Piao saw Li Yuanba using the long sword, he felt angry at Li Yuanba's arrogance. At the same time, he also wanted to use his twelve fine needles to teach Li Yuanba a profound lesson.
Li Yuanba was holding a third-grade sword. The moment the twelve needles approached him, he used the third-grade sword to stab, sweep, lift and chop one by one.
The twelve fine needle spiritual weapons were blocked by the third-grade sword base before they could get close to him.
After the third-grade sword base blocked the twelve fine needle spiritual weapons for the first time, the sword intent had already acted on the inside of the twelve fine needle spiritual weapons, causing the power of these twelve fine needle spiritual weapons to be greatly reduced, and their speed was no longer as fast as before.
So when Yu Piao wanted to take back the twelve fine needle spiritual weapons, the second round of attack from the third-grade sword base arrived. This time, the twelve fine needle spiritual weapons were no longer under Yu Piao's control, and were swept and collected by Li Yuanba's divine consciousness.
"Puff!" Yu Piao spat out a mouthful of blood, and he looked at Li Yuanba in shock and horror.
To be honest, the Fine Needle Spirit Weapon should not be used as a means of frontal combat. If the Fine Needle Spirit Weapon is used for sneak attacks, the effect will be much stronger.
He dared to use twelve fine needle spiritual weapons to attack Li Yuanba. It was because he saw that Li Yuanba, a sword cultivator, was attacking Du Ke with his flying sword that he took this opportunity to attack Li Yuanba who had no flying sword with him.
But he never imagined that Li Yuanba actually had another sword, a long sword for close combat.
What was even more unimaginable to him was that Li Yuanba, relying on a melee long sword, used the sword intent to break the spiritual imprints in his twelve fine needle spiritual weapons.
The battle between Yu Piao and Li Yuanba lasted only two breaths, and during this period, Du Ke, who was attacked by Li Yuanba's flying sword, had his defensive magic weapon broken. He took out a talisman in his hand and was about to escape.
A thin thread flew out from the sword light and swept across Du Ke's body before the talisman was fully activated.
It couldn't be Du Ke's fault for his slow reaction. Under the sword intent of the flying sword that contained the power of extreme yang, the mobilization of his spiritual energy was slower than usual. This was also because the technique he practiced was a relatively peaceful one among the magic techniques.
The change in the invocation of spiritual power caused Du Ke to make a mistake in activating the talisman at the critical moment of life and death.
As the talisman was activated, the upper half of Duco's body turned into a ray of light and was about to escape.
Li Yuanba used the sword power to turn into silk and cut Du Ke's body, which had no defense, into two halves. After the talisman was activated, it only took away the half of the body connected to the hand.
This strange scene made the many demon cultivators who were gathering towards Li Yuanba feel a chill in their hearts.
Du Ke is a true disciple. Every true disciple is the strongest among the cultivators of the same period, and no matter in terms of resources, skills or magic tools, they are many times better than ordinary disciples of the sect.
A true disciple is normally surrounded by a group of ordinary disciples. Ordinary disciples follow the true disciple just to get the leftovers from the true disciple.
Even these leftovers made ordinary disciples feel they were extremely precious.
It can be said that true disciples and ordinary disciples are two different kinds of cultivators, and this rule is applicable in any sect.
Du Ke was easily killed by Li Yuanba, and he didn't even get away alive after using some life-saving methods. This dealt a great blow to the hearts of many demon cultivators.
Li Yuanba did not have the same idea as them. He used his flying sword to its full power. The sword light was divided and the sword intent was as sharp as a thread. The flying sword was like a bright sun, passing through the six demon cultivators on the left. Three breaths after Du Ke's half body escaped, all six demon cultivators were killed.
At this time, all the demon cultivators brought by Lin Ping and Yu Piao were close to the attack range.
However, the encirclement they had prepared was broken before it was actually formed because Li Yuanba's killing speed was too fast and his methods were too horrific.
A sword light appeared under Li Yuanba's feet, and a sword light was separated, allowing him to use sword escape to speed up his movement.
There was a grim look in his eyes, without any emotion, only sword intent and murderous intent rising.
The demon cultivators launched attacks on him, but he used his sword to distance himself from them, putting the distance between them out of the demon cultivators' attack range.
The problem is that this is the attack range of the demon cultivators, not his. With his divine consciousness, although the attack distance of his flying sword is not as far as that of the Jindan cultivators, it is much farther than that of ordinary cultivators who use spiritual consciousness.
The demon cultivators found that although they had the advantage in numbers, after being broken out of their encirclement by Li Yuanba, it became a luxury for them to even attack Li Yuanba with their spiritual weapons.
There are some magic cultivators who are good at speed. For example, Yu Piao, a true disciple, is the fastest among many magic cultivators.
But he did not show much speed. He was staying with other demon cultivators. Duco's tragic death shocked him. In addition, his proud spiritual weapon was taken away. He now regretted taking part in the action to compete for the Dan resources in Li Yuanba's hands.
The demon cultivators were unable to attack Li Yuanba, but Li Yuanba's flying sword kept naming them.
Li Yuanba is now in the middle stage of foundation building. Even when facing cultivators in the late stage of foundation building, he does not have the passive feeling of being suppressed across multiple realms.
The spiritual weapon of a demon cultivator in the late foundation building stage might be able to block the attack of his flying sword, and the spiritual imprint in the spiritual weapon would not be destroyed by one attack.
However, those demon cultivators in the early or middle stages of foundation building were not so lucky. As long as their spiritual weapons came into contact with Li Yuanba's flying sword, they would lose control and fall from the sky.
If the demon cultivators were not very close to each other and could not take care of each other, after a short battle one of them would have fallen under the flying sword again.
But even so, the demon cultivators could not hold out for long. When nearly ten spiritual weapons were damaged, the demon cultivators who had been united began to have other ideas.
The demon cultivators cannot be blamed; they are selfish by nature. After realizing that they cannot defeat the enemy and will only be killed one by one if they continue, they only have one choice, which is to escape earlier than the demon cultivators around them.
When the first demon cultivator made a move, it affected the other demon cultivators, and the originally stable defense was broken.
A series of screams were heard. Because one demon cultivator withdrew from the battle, the demon cultivator next to him did not have time to react, allowing Li Yuanba's flying sword to penetrate the defense and get close to the demon cultivator.
The demon cultivators who stayed behind were naturally killed first. Under the double attack of the sword cultivator's flying sword and sword intent, the demon cultivators who had lost their defense were like lambs to be slaughtered.
After several of the dozen or so foundation-building demon cultivators died, they completely collapsed. They each used their own methods to try to escape into the distance.
During this process, many demon cultivators were killed by the sword light, and the speed of the sword light was faster than their flying speed.
When Lin Ping and Yu Piao first discovered something was wrong, they retreated together, as they thought it was safer to act together.
But they soon discovered the problem. Li Yuanba was faster and was chasing their subordinate demon cultivators to kill them.
"Escape separately!" Lin Ping changed direction and said.
Yu Piao also noticed the same problem, but he did not react and also changed direction and fled.
Li Yuanba chose Lin Ping. The other demon cultivators could escape, but he would not let go of Lin Ping, the true demon cultivator who was the first to chase him.
When Yu Piao saw Li Yuanba chasing Lin Ping, he couldn't help but feel relieved. He kept his distance and observed the battle in the distance.
It should not be called a battle, it was a massacre. After losing their courage, every demon cultivator did not even have the strength to resist. Those who fell behind would be killed by the sword light.
Finally, Lin Ping no longer thought about escaping with his demon cultivators. He took out a talisman and was about to activate it.
Li Yuanba's aura reached its peak, and he had no intention of holding back at all.
A white lotus appeared at his feet, and then white lotuses also appeared beside Lin Ping and the remaining two foundation-building demon cultivators.
His figure first appeared beside Lin Ping, and with the third-grade sword in his hand, he swept Lin Ping's head in front of Lin Ping's extremely horrified gaze. Before the sword light of the third-grade sword that killed Lin Ping disappeared, his figure had appeared beside another foundation-building demon cultivator as if teleporting.
In less than a breath, all the demon cultivators on Lin Ping's side were killed.
Li Yuanba turned his head and looked towards Yu Piao. Yu Piao was more than a thousand meters away from him at this time. Under normal circumstances, at such a long distance, Yu Piao was a cultivator who was good at speed, so he should be safe.
But when Yu Piao saw Li Yuanba's gaze, he felt a chill all over his body, and he turned around and fled with all his might.
"Damn it, Li Yuanba can actually make 'lotus bloom with every step'!" Yu Piao was thinking about the scene he had just seen while escaping.
He could guess where Li Yuanba learned the "Lotus Blossoms at Every Step" from. It must be that he killed Jueyuan Buddha and obtained the inheritance of Qianye Temple.
That was the inheritance of magical powers, a swordsman who could use the power of divine feet. Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.
He tried hard to squeeze out the spiritual power in his body. The skills he learned had a great effect on increasing speed.
He wanted to escape from this demon. In his eyes, Li Yuanba was more terrifying than the demon cultivator who had practiced magic.
"What is that?" A white flower appeared in front of Yu Piao's eyes. The white flower looked so familiar, just like a white lotus.
"Bai Lian!" His brain suddenly became clear, but it was too late.
Li Yuanba's figure appeared in front of him, and at the same time, the third-grade sword master drew his sword without any delay and cut off his head.
At this point in the battle, Li Yuanba's fighting spirit slowly subsided. He looked at the battlefield, and except for the two late Foundation Establishment stage demon cultivators who had escaped initially, all the twenty-three demon cultivators who had participated in the attack on him, including three true disciples of the Senluo Sect, were killed by him.
This is the sword cultivator. When dealing with cultivators of the same level, they can gain absolute advantage in battle through bursts, guerrilla fighting and other fighting methods.
The unparalleled sword intent is an absolute killing weapon, at least in the foundation-building period. Unless one has cultivated an ability that can rival the sword intent, the other will be restrained.
Li Yuanba began to clean up the battlefield. The scope of the battle this time was very wide. Fortunately, he had been using his spiritual power, and he would collect the spoils of the monks he killed when he had the chance.
Half of Duco's body escaped, and the remaining half had a storage bracelet on his wrist, so he didn't suffer any losses.
Of course, for Li Yuanba, it is extremely rare to find spiritual objects that interest him in the storage space of even the true disciples among the magic cultivators.
After cleaning up the battlefield, they collected the bodies of the evil cultivators, especially the bodies of the two true disciples.
Those who can become true disciples are most likely to have natural spiritual roots.
As for Yu Piao and Lin Ping, they both have natural spiritual roots, which are excellent materials for corpse refining. He doesn't need them, but it would be nice to have a chance to exchange them for some resources.
While Li Yuanba was cleaning up the battlefield, he did not encounter any more attacks.
What he didn't know was that the two escaping demon cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage were stopped by two groups of demon cultivators respectively.
His battle record was also spread by the mouths of two late Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators. However, because the two late Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators escaped too early, they did not know the fate of Lin Ping and Yu Piao, let alone the fact that Li Yuanba used the 'Step by Step Lotus'.
After hearing about Li Yuanba's battle record, the demon cultivators who wanted to intercept him were a little hesitant. Everyone wanted to take advantage, and no demon cultivator wanted to face a tough challenge.
The demon cultivators thought that other demon cultivators should take action first and then see what happens.
However, Li Yuanba’s battle record could not be concealed at all. After the two groups of demon cultivators knew about it, all the demon cultivators who should know about it knew about it.
Especially since there was no news about Lin Ping and Yu Piao, everyone knew that they were killed by Li Yuanba together with Du Ke. This made many demon cultivators lose their courage.
The resources for making elixirs may only be carried by Li Yuanba. Whether it is worth fighting for at the possible cost of one's life needs to be reconsidered.
