Although a great elder-level Jindan cultivator appeared, Li Shiming was not worried at all. Instead, he became more excited. His own strength had increased a lot compared to the last time he fought with the great elder-level Jindan cultivator. He was just about to test the gap in strength between himself and the great elder-level Jindan cultivator.
"Where did you get this Earthly Demon Power?" After approaching Li Shiming, Senior Brother Zhao also sensed the aura of the Earthly Demon Power on Li Shiming. He waved his hand to stop the Jindan cultivator next to him and asked in a deep voice.
Senior Brother Zhao and the Jindan cultivators present may not be able to recognize every Jindan cultivator in the sect, but it is impossible for them not to know the Jindan cultivators who practice the "Earthly Demonic Art".
To get started with the 'Earthly Demonic Art' one needs to import the Earthly Demonic Power, especially during the Golden Core Stage, the Earthly Demonic Power required will be extremely huge, and it is impossible to practice it secretly without being known.
In addition, a cultivator who can practice the "Earthly Demonic Art" cannot be an unknown person in the sect.
Although Li Shiming concealed his face, the Jindan cultivators could tell from his figure that Li Shiming was not the fellow disciple they knew who practiced the 'Earthly Demonic Art'.
Compared to the death of Chu Xun's son and the loss of a Jindan cultivator in the sect, the outflow of the "Earthly Demonic Power" is the most important matter.
Even though the Disha Sect does not strictly guard the 'Disha Magic Power', that is based on the fact that this skill is only circulated within the sect. In history, any outflow of the 'Disha Magic Power' was accompanied by a crazy cleanup by the Disha Sect.
Every time, all the outer sect cultivators who had come into contact with the 'Earthly Demonic Power' were slain, thus establishing the terrifying reputation of the Earthly Demon Sect.
The power of the Earthly Evil in Li Shiming's body has almost reached the extreme of the early stage of the Golden Core. This is due to Zuo Tai, who is in the middle stage of the Golden Core, and more importantly, the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Formation' has condensed the spiritual power of the five golden cores in his body to the peak of the early stage of the Golden Core.
Therefore, according to Senior Brother Zhao's perception, Li Shiming's Earthly Evil Power could not have been cultivated in a short period of time, but had been cultivated for a very long time.
When Brother Zhao asked the question, he gestured to his fellow disciples.
Fellow disciples scattered and semi-surrounded Li Shiming, blocking any possible escape routes.
The reason why it is called half encirclement is because the other half is the main formation of the checkpoint. They do not think that Li Shiming can escape from the direction of the checkpoint under their encirclement.
"You will know after you catch me!" Li Shiming replied with a big laugh. His figure turned into a stream of light and pounced towards the nearest Jindan cultivator.
There are fourteen Jindan cultivators who came this time. It can be said that in such a short time, Chu Xun alone cannot gather so many cultivators with strength above the middle Jindan stage.
It was Senior Brother Zhao’s proactive response that attracted so many Jindan cultivators.
Of course, these Jindan cultivators who came here would not forget to get a favor from Chu Xun, so in Chu Xun's view, these Jindan cultivators came here just for his sake.
As for Senior Brother Zhao, that was because of the order given by his master, the Nascent Soul Patriarch.
The Yuanying Patriarch had just returned from outside and heard at the checkpoint that an elder in the middle stage of the Jindan Sect had gone missing. He was likely killed in the Disha Sect's sphere of influence. The Yuanying Patriarch stayed there for a while and did not wait for the possible murderer to arrive.
The Yuanying Patriarch's time is precious and he cannot stay here forever, so he summoned his disciple, Senior Brother Zhao.
In the eyes of the Yuanying Patriarch, Senior Brother Zhao is at the level of a great elder. Unless the Yuanying Patriarch comes in person, no cultivator in the Jindan stage can defeat Senior Brother Zhao.
As soon as Li Shiming moved, ten magic weapons flew towards him, trying to stop him.
The ten magic weapons were created by ten mid-stage Jindan cultivators at the same time. Such power concentrated on one Jindan cultivator would be too much for even a late-stage Jindan cultivator to withstand.
In the view of the ten mid-stage Jindan cultivators who took action, the magic weapons they were driving were activated at the same time and would hit Li Shiming at the same time.
But in Li Shiming's eyes, perhaps under the scanning of his natal magic weapon IBMz15, there are differences in speed and time between each magic weapon.
His ten brains locked onto the attack trajectories of the ten magic weapons respectively. Under his observation, the 'Divine Eyes' allowed his life magic weapon IBMz15 to collect the spiritual power operation of the ten magic weapons, and thus analyze the routes that the ten magic weapons would fly.
The third-grade sword-based magic weapon in his hand kept sweeping lightly during the flight.
A strange thing happened. When the ten magic weapons were about to attack him, they were swept away by the seemingly useless third-grade sword-based magic weapon, and all their original attack routes were changed.
Under the control of a Jindan cultivator, this changed attack route would only cause a momentary impact on the magic weapon.
But this momentary impact allowed Li Shiming to easily pass through the attack barriers of ten magic weapons, and his figure appeared in front of the mid-stage Jindan cultivator who had been locked on before.
This mid-stage Jindan cultivator never imagined that there was an early-stage Jindan cultivator who could dodge the attacks and rush in front of him despite being besieged by ten mid-stage Jindan cultivators.
Therefore, this mid-stage Jindan cultivator did not even set up a defensive magic weapon. Under such a siege, the enemy usually would not even have the strength to fight back, so there was no need to activate a defensive magic weapon.
Li Shiming's third-grade sword-based magic weapon launched a sweeping attack, which was equivalent to the physical cultivation level of the late Jindan period, close to the perfect level of physical cultivation. Coupled with the top-level third-grade sword-based long sword among the three-grade magic weapons, the power it exerted did not require any skills, and it cut the Jindan mid-stage cultivator in half on the spot.
Being cut in half is the attack method that is least likely to cause instant death, but the strong vitality of a mid-stage Jindan cultivator who is cut in half by a third-grade sword-based magic weapon is of little use.
Li Shiming's lightning sword intent, as well as the earthly evil power that drove the third-grade sword-based magic weapon, immediately destroyed all vitality in his body after entering his body.
"Form the formation quickly!" Senior Brother Zhao gave a reminder.
But his reminder was still a step too late, Li Shiming had already entered a relatively close distance with the Disha Sect's Jindan cultivators.
For a Jindan body-refining cultivator, this distance is well within the range of a short-range burst sprint. The close-range burst speed of a body-refining cultivator is a short-term extreme speed formed by combining the flying ability of an ordinary cultivator with the strong physique of the body-refining cultivator.
Li Shiming made a burst of sprint and approached a mid-stage Jindan cultivator again.
This time, the mid-stage Jindan cultivator activated his defensive magic weapon in time, a bronze-level magic weapon. However, under Li Shiming's attack, the bronze-level magic weapon was picked up and flew away by the third-grade sword base. After picking up the bronze-level magic weapon, the third-grade sword base drew a graceful arc and killed the mid-stage Jindan cultivator.
He was extremely confident in his attack, and just after killing the second mid-stage Jindan cultivator, he pounced towards another target.
His fighting style is different from that of any other cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation.
The precise calculation and analysis of IBMz15, combined with the terrifying computing power of IBMz15, plus the fact that each CPU is equivalent to Li Shiming's brain, allows Li Shiming to be in a multi-threaded thinking mode and have the ability to accurately judge the details of the battlefield situation.
Li Shiming's 'telepathy' and 'divine vision', two seemingly useless magical powers without combat, actually played a special role.
These two magical powers continuously provide IBMz15 with deeper battlefield auxiliary judgment information, making his every move more deadly.
Since the beginning of the battle, his attacks have been extremely purposeful, and the reaction of the target Jindan cultivator was also within the various reactions analyzed by IBMz15.
When he began to attack the third mid-stage Jindan cultivator, the rest of the Jindan cultivators also recovered from their shock and attacked him again. At the same time, they began to form a formation according to Senior Brother Zhao's command.
Jindan cultivators from the same sect, especially large sects, will practice simple formations that are suitable for their sect.
Although the formation is simple, when performed by multiple Jindan monks together, it can exert a power several times greater than that of multiple Jindan monks combined.
Li Shiming felt the pressure, he opened his mouth and let out a sharp scream.
This was his secret mental attack technique, 'The Devil Enters the Ears'. When it was launched at close range, all the Jindan cultivators, including Senior Brother Zhao, froze in their tracks.
The power of "Devil Enters the Ears" varies from person to person. With Li Shiming's mental power, the "Devil Enters the Ears" he emitted caused most of the Jindan cultivators here to suffer a moment of confusion in their consciousness.
However, Senior Brother Zhao recovered after just a slight shake, which was not enough time for Li Shiming to rush to him and launch an attack.
However, a moment of time is fatal to some other Jindan cultivators.
In a moment, Li Shiming, holding the third-grade sword-based magic weapon, swept across the bodies of the three closest middle-stage Jindan cultivators.
The local Sha Sect's Jindan monks broke away from the influence of 'Devil Entering the Ears' and found that five of their fellow disciples had died on the battlefield.
These are five mid-stage Jindan cultivators. Even in a large sect, they are the most core combat force. In sect conflicts, they participate in the battle as the most core main force.
But in the battle against Li Shiming, five mid-stage Jindan cultivators were killed within just a few breaths of the battle.
"Come together with me and form a tight formation!" Senior Brother Zhao's face changed. If the losses continue like this, even a big sect like the Disha Sect will be heartbroken.
It takes at least a hundred years to train a mid-stage Jindan cultivator, and there is only one such cultivator among a thousand cultivators who join the sect.
Considering the difficulty of entering a large sect, only those who can enter are extremely talented. The probability is one in a thousand, which shows how difficult it is to produce a mid-stage Jindan cultivator.
Even with this ratio, the six major sects of Beishu Continent occupy the vast majority of the resources of Beishu Continent and can use a large amount of resources to focus on training.
In smaller sects, the ratio is hard to say. Even for those sects, producing a Jindan cultivator is more like a matter of luck.
If Senior Brother Zhao was not here, no matter how much the loss was, it would have nothing to do with him. But he was sent by the Nascent Soul Patriarch. If too many Jindan cultivators were lost here, it would probably affect the Nascent Soul Patriarch's impression of him.
The opinion of the Yuanying Patriarch will be related to his Nascent Soul Formation resources, which can't help but make him nervous.
Li Shiming stopped attacking because the Jindan cultivators of the Disha Sect were already very close, and now they were even closer, forming a formation like a tortoise shell with Senior Brother Zhao as the center.
No matter how strong he is, he cannot break the tortoise shell formation with a great elder-level Jindan cultivator as the core.
In order to change this situation, he deliberately stopped attacking and used his divine sense to collect the corpses of the five Jindan monks and the spatial items that fell to the ground.
He originally wanted to use this method which could easily anger the other party, so as to make the other party take the initiative to attack, thus giving him an opportunity to take advantage.
But to his surprise, there were clearly nine Jindan cultivators on the other side, including a great elder-level Senior Brother Zhao, but they just watched Li Shiming collect the spoils without making any attacking moves.
To be honest, not only Chu Xun and other mid-stage Jindan cultivators, but even Senior Brother Zhao was shocked.
Even Senior Brother Zhao couldn't kill a mid-stage Jindan cultivator as easily as Li Shiming did, like killing a chicken.
In addition, the most crucial thing is that Li Shiming exposed his physical strength in the late Jindan stage during the battle.
Body-refining monks are an outlier among monks. It’s not that body-refining monks are not strong, but that body-refining monks consume too many resources.
The resources to train a body-refining monk are enough to train many ordinary monks, and the growth potential of a body-refining monk is difficult to judge. Unless he has a special physique, a large sect will fully train him.
"Suppress him!" A murderous intent flashed in Senior Brother Zhao's eyes. Li Shiming not only secretly learned the core skill of the Disha Sect, the 'Disha Magic Skill', but was also an extremely powerful body refining golden elixir. Such an enemy must not be let go.
As he shouted loudly, a mountain-sized magic weapon flew out of his hand.
The mountain magic weapon turned into a mountain in the air. The indescribable binding force, gravity and spiritual power blockade acted on Li Shiming, which greatly restricted his physical strength. He wanted to move extremely slowly.
This is because his body refining skills are extremely powerful. If an ordinary Jindan cultivator were under such a mountain magic weapon, he would not be able to move at all.
Li Shiming sensed the power of Earth Demon contained in the mountain magic weapon, and he understood even more how terrifying the mountain magic weapon blessed with the power of Earth Demon was.
"I can't hide it anymore!" he sighed helplessly in his heart.
In the face of such a magical weapon with large-scale locking attack capabilities, the short-range burst speed has little effect. The moment the mountain magic weapon is used, an entire area will be locked.
The binding force, gravity and spiritual power blockade did not only act on Li Shiming, but also a large area around Li Shiming.
This is why using mountain-type magic weapons consumes a huge amount of spiritual power. It is necessary to control mountain-type magic weapons to produce almost unsolvable attack effects, which naturally requires a huge amount of spiritual power support.
Under the attack of mountain-type magic weapons, ordinary dodging is ineffective, and one can only rely on one's own defensive magic weapons, or a collision with stronger offensive magic weapons, or wait to be suppressed by the mountain-type magic weapons.
