Niu Ziru mobilized the golden elixir in his body, and a surge of spiritual power surged out of the golden elixir. He directly drove the spiritual power to increase his flying speed.
Even though he knew that this method was useless, he thought that as long as he could escape to the nearest gathering place of monks, he could take advantage of the chaos to escape.
In fact, if a Jindan cultivator uses flying spells, he can move faster.
However, Niu Ziru had long since given up on casting any spells to speed up movement. Movement spells that could be cast instantly were not very effective. He was simply unable to cast movement spells that required a short period of time, such as one or two breaths, to cast, which had relatively good effects.
As soon as he showed the aura that was necessary to cast a spell, Li Yuanba would suddenly appear close to him and interrupt him with his third-grade sword foundation and the Zhiyang sword intent.
Every time his spell was interrupted, he would suffer a certain backlash.
No matter how small the backlash is, after many times it will accumulate to the point where it can have a serious impact.
Not to mention that the Zhiyang Sword Intent will intensify the backlash effect, doubling the backlash effect suffered by Niu Ziru.
No matter how Niu Ziru fled, his speed, compared with 'Lotus Step by Step', was as slow as a child learning to walk.
Li Yuanba was like a fisherman at this time, and Niu Ziru was like a fish on the hook, unable to escape from Li Yuanba's control.
What Li Yuanba was waiting for was to drag the big fish Niu Ziru until he was unable to resist and then kill him.
"Crack!" A cracking sound came from Niu Ziru's body.
Niu Ziru's expression became even uglier, and panic flashed in his eyes.
He had never imagined that one day he would be forced to this extent by a foundation-building cultivator.
The secret magic defense method that he relied on most was finally broken by Li Yuanba's sword.
His attacks all failed, and this frustration and unwillingness almost drove him crazy.
How he wished he could hit Li Yuanba once. As long as he hit Li Yuanba once, he could seriously injure Li Yuanba or even kill him on the spot.
However, his pestle-shaped magic weapon failed every time, which made his strength, which was much stronger than Li Yuanba, useless.
"Let me go, I am willing to swear an oath with blood to be your running dog!" Niu Ziru shouted loudly without caring about his face.
In fact, he had no shame in launching a sneak attack on Li Yuanba as a Jindan cultivator.
Li Yuanba smiled coldly, he moved closer again and responded to Niu Ziru's words with a sword.
"Ah!" Niu Ziru let out a shrill scream.
A sword scar appeared on his back. The scar was about a foot long and not much blood flowed out.
Because Li Yuanba did not dare to use his full strength in this sword attack, he reserved most of his strength so that he could quickly use "Lotus Step by Step" to escape, so the wound caused by this sword was not deep.
Li Yuanba knew that even if he had the advantage at the moment, it was possible that Niu Ziru could reverse it at any time.
As long as Niu Ziru has not completely lost his fighting power, he cannot relax at all.
Although the sword did not cut deep, it only cut an inch below the skin. For a Jindan cultivator, such an injury was nothing.
But the damage to a monk is never judged by the depth of the wound, but rather by the invading energy contained in the wound.
The most terrifying thing about Li Yuanba's sword is not the spiritual power. The spiritual power in the middle stage of foundation building cannot have any effect on Niu Ziru and will soon be driven away by the spiritual power in Niu Ziru's body.
However, the extremely yang sword intent in this sword is not so easy to dispel.
Niu Ziru felt that the place where he was stabbed by the sword was as if burned by flames. The spiritual power in his body, which was many times stronger than Li Yuanba's, was rushing to the wound, just like pouring water on a fire.
It's not that he couldn't expel the Zhiyang Sword Intent, but it took him time and the mobilization of a large amount of spiritual power. He had to continuously consume his spiritual power before he could expel the Zhiyang Sword Intent from his body.
But how could Li Yuanba give Niu Ziru such an opportunity? Two breaths later, his thigh was hit by another sword, the wound was just as deep and the same sword intent.
In the following time, no matter how crazy Niu Ziru was, he was constantly stabbed by the sword. The wounds on his body increased, and his face became paler and paler.
He felt death, and his bloodiness, which he originally did not have much, now rose. After all, he was born as a casual cultivator, and he was ruthless and cruel. When he was about to die, the first thing he thought of was to die together with him.
His eyes were red, and he yelled and spat out his own golden elixir, preparing to self-destruct his own golden elixir.
It was not the first time that Li Yuanba had dealt with a Jindan cultivator, and he had long been on guard against this move of his. Just as the golden elixir was spit out and a terrifying spiritual power fluctuation was emitted in the air, a white lotus appeared next to the golden elixir, and then a hand pressed on the golden elixir.
"You're looking for death. Let's die together!" Niu Ziru saw Li Yuanba's actions. This time he didn't take action, but just let out a roar.
The energy of the golden elixir in Li Yuanba's hand fluctuated violently. He used 'Lotus Step by Step' twice in a row, placing the golden elixir three hundred meters away. He then used 'Lotus Step by Step' twice more and appeared behind Niu Ziru.
"Boom!" Just as he appeared behind Niu Ziru, the golden elixir exploded with a loud bang.
The terrifying spiritual power shock wave swept outward in an instant, turning everything in its passing range into dust.
Li Yuanba's third-grade sword pierced into the heart of Niu Ziru, who had lost his golden elixir. At the same time, he shrunk his body as much as possible and used Niu Ziru's body to block the direction of the spiritual power shock wave.
At the same time, his body changed from a human form to a refined corpse, and his defense increased several times.
Without his golden elixir, Niu Ziru's body's defense power dropped to the extreme point, so he naturally couldn't block the fatal blow from the third-grade sword master.
Before his life faded away, there was still disbelief in his eyes. What did he see? Li Yuanba actually turned into a refined corpse.
Unfortunately, he couldn't tell anyone about this inexplicable strange thing.
Niu Ziru's body was hit by the spiritual power shock wave from the self-detonation of his own golden elixir. Even though he was three hundred meters away, his body was facing the shock wave of the self-detonation and was constantly turned into blood mist under the power of the spiritual power shock wave.
However, with his body as a buffer, Li Yuanba had time to perform "Lotus Step by Step" and flash to a hundred meters away. In addition, Niu Ziru's body served as a barrier in this direction, so the power of the spiritual power shock wave was only one tenth of what it was.
The residual power of the spiritual power shock wave caused Li Yuanba's body to shake, but did not cause any harm to him.
He was not quite used to the corpse body, so when the danger was no longer there, he immediately switched back to human form.
He flew to the explosion site and saw Niu Ziru's broken body. Most of the body was destroyed by the spiritual power shock wave, and the remaining part could hardly be seen as a human body.
"Hahahaha!" Li Yuanba laughed out loud as he looked at the scene. The sword intent in his body was more active than usual.
He killed a Jindan monk. No matter how weak this Jindan monk was, a Jindan monk was still a Jindan monk. Killing a Jindan monk who was at a higher level made him feel extremely comfortable all over.
The Jindan cultivator had been using sword intent continuously for more than three hours, and had almost killed the enemy with sword intent. After this tempering, his sword intent had grown a lot in a trance.
The benefits gained from the sword intent this time were quite a lot, probably comparable to the results of his several months of practicing sword intent in Wanjian Peak. In addition, there was a hint of inexplicable will in the sword intent, which was an invisible benefit gained from killing Jindan cultivators at a higher realm.
Li Yuanba felt that when his sword intent encountered the Jindan cultivator again, the suppression of his realm became less and less. This was the effect of the inexplicable will in the sword intent.
This is normal. A sword cultivator's sword intent grows fastest in battle, and sword cultivators grow through killing.
He swept his mind over and found a storage bag.
The surface of the storage bag was damaged, but the internal space of the storage bag was not damaged.
"So poor!" Li Yuanba's mind entered the storage bag and he couldn't help but blurt out.
First of all, a Jindan cultivator was still using a storage bag that only foundation-building cultivators would use. Even though the internal space of this storage bag was not small, reaching about 100 cubic meters, it was still very shabby.
You should know that true disciples of a large sect can exchange contribution points for storage bracelets after being true disciples for a period of time. Perhaps if there is a Jindan master, the master will reward the storage bracelet.
The second thing was the items inside the storage bag. The only thing he could think of that had some value was a pestle-shaped magic weapon.
The pestle-shaped magic weapon is useless to both Li Yuanba himself and his original body Li Shiming. However, they are not poor enough to have no magic weapon. They still have some pursuit for magic weapon.
He doesn't think highly of ordinary magic weapons. This pestle-shaped magic weapon is a magic weapon for demon cultivators. If Li Yuanba wants to use it as a flying sword, a ray of extremely yang sword intent will destroy the evil magic array pattern built into the magic weapon.
The original body of Li Shiming is a righteous cultivator. How could he possibly hold a pestle-shaped magic weapon that is filled with such demonic energy?
Li Yuanba scanned the rest of the items in the storage bag with his mind and gave up the idea of keeping them. He decided to find an opportunity to trade them all.
Only at this time did Li Yuanba truly understand the difference between a casual cultivator and a sect cultivator. If Niu Ziru was a sect Jindan cultivator, how could he dare to use such means to slowly wear the other party down.
You know, even if the sect's Jindan cultivators are not his match, such a long time is enough to summon a bunch of fellow disciples to come to the rescue.
That is to say, a casual cultivator like Niu Ziru can only escape on his own when encountering danger.
The skills and magic weapons of casual cultivators are both great weaknesses. The pestle-shaped magic weapon is somewhat powerless as both an attack and a defense. After all, it is not a defensive magic weapon, and using attack instead of defense is not very effective against faster enemies.
Li Yuanba was just about to put away the storage bags. These storage bags would be collected and sent to his original body, Li Shiming, and would become warehouses in the computer room.
He suddenly stopped moving, his mind swept over an object, and that object appeared in his hand.
This is a communication card. Independent cultivators are not sect cultivators. To communicate with each other, they either apply for a communication card from the sect in their sphere of influence, or purchase a communication card from a large chamber of commerce and rely on the communication formation of the large chamber of commerce to achieve the purpose of mutual communication.
The contact card in front of him had the mark of Senluo Sect on it. This was a contact card from Senluo Sect.
The contact card has been identified and encrypted by its owner, so other monks cannot use it even if they get it.
Li Yuanba used his divine sense to carefully scan the contact card, and at the same time, he contacted his real body Li Shiming in the distance with his mind.
On the other side, Li Shiming's mind moved slightly. He mobilized IBMz15 to record the data of the clone Li Yuanba's mind scan.
There are densely packed anti-cracking magic arrays on the contact card, which even high-level array masters cannot crack easily. Having such anti-cracking measures is already extremely strict.
But Li Shiming himself is a formation master who is only one step away from being a formation master. With the help of IBMz15, it can be said that he is three points stronger than the formation master in terms of cracking formations alone.
It didn't take long for Li Shiming to crack the contact card from Senluo Sect.
Li Yuanba mobilized a sword intent and, under the precise guidance of his divine consciousness, stabbed it into a certain point on the formation pattern on the communication card, disconnecting the formation line at that point.
His divine sense discovered that the restrictions on the contact card had disappeared, and he could now query the information on the contact card.
He found the last communication data on the contact card and saw the name of the person that Niu Ziru contacted last.
Since the contact card came from Senluo Sect, Elder Yue was proud of his status and did not hide his identity. It is estimated that Elder Yue would not have thought that Niu Ziru, who worked for him, would die, let alone that the contact card of Senluo Sect would be cracked by the cultivators.
"Elder Yue!" Li Yuanba knew who wanted to deal with him, and he felt powerless.
Although he knew that it was Elder Yue who wanted to deal with him, he could not do anything against Elder Yue.
Although Elder Yue is not as powerful as Elder Jian, he is definitely an elder with real power in Senluo Sect, and he has the support of the Nascent Soul Patriarch behind him.
Elder Yue's power is even greater than that of Elder Jian. Elder Jian relies on his personal combat power in Senluo Sect, while Elder Yue, in addition to his personal combat power, has many demon cultivators who have joined him and are under his command.
It is absolutely extremely dangerous to openly become an enemy of such a powerful Jindan elder.
If Elder Yue had not wanted to avoid getting involved in trouble this time and was worried that Patriarch Lu would find out something, he would have either sent out the Jindan cultivators in the sect or taken action himself, and no matter which option he chose, the current result would not have occurred.
Li Yuanba escaped the attack of the Jindan monk, but he also revealed the entry-level magical power of Shenzutong, "Lotus Blooms with Every Step".
It can be imagined that once he revealed 'Lotus Blooms with Every Step', his mastery of supernatural powers as a foundation-building cultivator meant that he had inherited the power of divine feet. In addition, he was able to learn 'Lotus Blooms with Every Step' and apply it freely in such a short time, so all kinds of suspicions against him were inevitable.
By then, even with the protection of Patriarch Lu, he would not be able to guarantee the safety of his sect.
He even couldn't guarantee whether Patriarch Lu would spy on the inheritance of the divine power. As he learned more about the divine power, he realized how attractive the divine power was.
He is not a big sect like Qianye Temple. Even if he publicly announces that he has inherited magical powers, he has enough confidence to protect the inheritance.
