Earth-attributed spiritual energy surged through Brother Qi Jin's body. The magic weapon in his hand, the Sky-Supporting Thick Earth Stick, was not a separate magic weapon, but a melee magic weapon that he wielded in both hands.
A golden armor magic weapon appeared on his body, turning him into a golden-armored general.
His aura became extremely violent, even more violent than the Golden Moon Violent Bear at this moment.
"Hit!" He shouted, and took a step across the air hundreds of meters, smashing the sky-supporting thick earth stick heavily on the head of the Golden Moon Violent Bear.
He used all his strength in his first attack, and the Sky-Supporting Thick Earth Stick turned into a giant stick shadow that was a hundred meters long. Under the shadow of the giant stick, the Golden Moon Violent Bear looked insignificant.
Jiang Pu and Li Yuanba were not affected by the fact that Senior Brother Qi Jin seemed to have the upper hand, and they attacked at the same time.
Jiang Pu's flying sword was on the left, and Li Yuanba's flying sword was on the right, slashing towards the Golden Moon Violent Bear.
The golden crescent-shaped fur on the chest of the Golden Moon Violent Bear emitted a golden light, and instantly its entire body was covered in golden light.
Its left claw slapped the Sky-supporting Thick Earth Stick, and its right claw slapped the Xingyi Sword. It ignored Jiang Pu's flying sword.
"Boom!" The extremely powerful Sky-Supporting Thick Earth Stick was blocked by the Golden Moon Violent Bear. The Sky-Supporting Thick Earth Stick was hit by the huge force of the claw and bounced back upwards.
The phantom of the hundred-meter-long giant stick shattered into pieces, revealing the real body of the Sky-Supporting Thick Earth Stick.
Senior Brother Qi Jin somersaulted in the air, dissipating the force coming from the Sky-Supporting Thick Earth Stick.
Jiang Pu's flying sword slashed at the golden light of the Golden Moon Violent Bear. With a crisp "ding" sound, the flying sword was bounced away without any effect.
This made him feel a little nervous. The Golden Moon Violent Bear, which was in the late stage of the Great Demon, was beyond his ability to fight against.
Li Yuanba's Xing Yi Sword was about to touch the right claw of Golden Moon Violent Bear. Xing Yi Sword was like a swimming fish, following the direction of the spiritual power of Golden Moon Violent Bear's right claw, sliding past the right claw, and cutting into the golden light at the shoulder of Golden Moon Violent Bear.
With the help of 'Divine Vision', he can see the direction of spiritual power that some ordinary cultivators cannot detect.
Unfortunately, he does not have his own magic weapon IBMz15. He can only rely on his stronger control over the flying sword and make good use of the direction of the spiritual power discovered by the "Divine Eyes".
The golden light of the Golden Moon Violent Bear was not an impeccable defense. He saw a spiritual power gap in the golden light and slashed his sword along the spiritual power gap into the golden light.
That is to say, the Golden Moon Violent Bear's ability to use the golden light was not as flexible as that of human monks, which gave him this opportunity.
After Xing Yijian slashed the shoulder of the Golden Moon Violent Bear, the terrifying power contained in the shoulder rebounded and Xing Yijian was bounced away.
When the sword was ejected, a strand of bear hair flew away.
"What a great swordsmanship!" Senior Brother Qi Jin laughed.
Even though the three Jindan cultivators attacked together, only Li Yuanba achieved victory.
Although the result of the battle was only a wisp of bear hair, it was Senior Brother Qi Jin's main skill that attracted most of the energy of the Golden Moon Violent Bear, allowing Li Yuanba to succeed, but this was a Golden Moon Violent Bear in the late stage of the Great Demon. A wisp of bear hair on the Golden Moon Violent Bear had a third-grade defensive power.
Spirit beasts are different from human monks. Their bodies are their magic weapons, and they use all their resources to improve their physical strength.
In addition, the Golden Moon Violent Bear's innate ability allows it to enhance its own defense through golden light, making it difficult to damage even a strand of the Golden Moon Violent Bear's hair.
The Golden Moon Violent Bear looked at Li Yuanba with eyes full of anger. Senior Brother Qi Jin's attacks before had not been able to make it angry, but Li Yuanba succeeded in angering it.
Although Xing Yi's sword was bounced away, a sword intent as big as the sun entered the body of the Golden Moon Violent Bear.
Unfortunately, Li Yuanba’s realm was too low, and this extremely yang sword intent was quickly driven away by the Golden Moon Violent Bear.
But it did succeed in hurting the Golden Moon Violent Bear. The Golden Moon Violent Bear had not suffered such a big loss for a long time, and it regarded Li Yuanba as its most important enemy.
Li Yuanba suddenly sensed danger, and his 'Divine Vision' also discovered that the spiritual power of the golden moon pattern on the chest of the Golden Moon Violent Bear was fluctuating violently.
Xing swung his sword and a beam of sword light emerged, allowing him to perform sword escape.
His figure merged with the sword light and escaped a hundred meters away.
Just as his figure disappeared, a ray of golden light shot out from the chest of the Golden Moon Violent Bear. It was so fast that if he was slower by even a moment, he would be hit by the golden light.
Li Yuanba thought of Senior Brother Qi Jin's previous reminder that the Golden Moon Violent Bear had long-range attack capabilities.
But the speed of this golden light long-range attack was too fast. If the Golden Moon Violent Bear had not triggered this long-range attack and needed to use the golden moon pattern on its chest, he might not have had time to dodge.
"Junior Brother Li, we cannot defeat this Golden Moon Violent Bear. Let's go back and report to the sect!" Senior Brother Qi Jin was decisive. After sensing the power of the golden light's long-range attack, he spoke out.
He said that the main responsibility for the failure of the mission would be borne by him.
"Brother Qi, let me try again!" Li Yuanba was provoked by the Golden Moon Violent Bear and also wanted to try the results of his body refining, so he said loudly.
His aura suddenly changed, a heat spread out from his body, and his skin was as white as jade.
"The late stage of the Great Perfection Sun Jade Body Art!" Senior Brother Qi Jin saw the origin of this body-refining technique and exclaimed in surprise.
Although the 'Scorching Sun Jade Body Technique' is difficult to practice, as long as there are enough contribution points, with Senior Brother Qi Jin's status, he can exchange it from the sect.
However, if one wants to practice the 'Scorching Sun Jade Body Technique' to the late stage of perfection, the energy and resources required are unimaginable wealth.
Indeed, Li Yuanba used up ten drops of fourth-grade 'Tianluo Immortal Milk'. Considering the value of fourth-grade resources, if these ten drops of fourth-grade 'Tianluo Immortal Milk' were exchanged for third-grade resources, it would probably be enough to cultivate many late-stage Jindan cultivators.
Even the six major sects would not squander resources like this, unless the person's talent in physical training was so high that the major sects were willing to train him specially.
It is obvious that Li Yuanba is a sword cultivator, not a body cultivator that the sect focuses on training, so this would not be the body training resource that the sect provides him.
Li Yuanba's Xingyi sword was retracted into his body, and he had an extra long sword in his hand. This was a third-grade sword base refined from the "Sword Demon Secret Book".
Just like the original body Li Shiming, due to the strength of body refining, the third-grade sword foundation has also been greatly improved.
The power of his third-grade sword-based magic weapon has reached the limit of a third-grade upper-grade magic weapon.
Li Yuanba intended to demonstrate his strength. In Senluo Sect, he had to have a good background and a clean record. The better he performed, the more resources the sect would provide him.
These resources are not just resources for cultivation, but also include inheritance of skills and treatment.
The reason why he got the mission of guarding Jieshan City and was able to participate in the core task of resource collection this time was because of the sect's appreciation of him.
The Golden Moon Violent Bear's golden light missed and it pounced towards Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba, holding the third-grade sword base, went forward without any retreat.
The Golden Moon Violent Bear was extremely fast, and Li Yuanba was not slow either, and they soon got close to each other.
The Golden Moon Violent Bear slapped out with one claw, but Li Yuanba was not outdone, and he slashed back at the claw with his third-grade sword base.
The golden bear claws collided with the third-grade sword base. Li Yuanba's body shook slightly, and the Golden Moon Violent Bear's claws flew back. Neither side gained any advantage.
The Golden Moon Violent Bear's body turned and moved a short distance, and its other bear claw grabbed Li Yuanba's back.
Li Yuanba turned his body half a circle, and with his third-grade sword base, he swung his backhand to block the bear's claws again.
He turned his head to avoid the golden light emitted by the Golden Moon Violent Bear and hit the Golden Moon Violent Bear with a headbutt.
With a loud bang, the headbutt hit the Golden Moon Violent Bear on the head.
It is estimated that the Golden Moon Violent Bear had never thought that human cultivators would use this kind of attack method. The physique of a late-stage Great Demon is naturally several times stronger than that of a human cultivator of the same level. This kind of attack method is suicide for an ordinary Jindan cultivator.
But Li Yuanba's headbutt caused the Golden Moon Violent Bear to lean back.
Li Yuanba would not let go of the opportunity, as the distance between him and the Golden Moon Violent Bear was too close, almost face to face.
He gave up using the third-grade sword base and instead used every part of his body to launch a close attack on the Golden Moon Violent Bear.
Shoulder strikes, elbow strikes, knee strikes, kicks, in just a few breaths, countless attacks landed on the Golden Moon Violent Bear.
The Golden Moon Violent Bear lost the initiative in one move and was beaten back step by step by Li Yuanba's attack.
"Who is the big demon?" Jiang Pu couldn't help but ask.
Senior Brother Qi Jin's eyes widened, full of disbelief.
He knew best how powerful the Golden Moon Violent Bear was, but Li Yuanba showed that he was even stronger than the Golden Moon Violent Bear.
When the 'Scorching Sun Jade Body Technique' was fully activated, every attack of Li Yuanba was accompanied by extreme heat, and the terrifying force was no weaker than the power of the heat.
This is the effect of the top-level body-refining technique. It is through practice that human cultivators catch up with and even surpass the spiritual beasts and become the masters of this world.
The ten drops of fourth-grade 'Tianluo Fairy Milk' were not wasted. Li Yuanba was able to fight against the Golden Moon Violent Bear in the late stage of the great demon just by relying on the power of his body refining.
As for the fact that Li Yuanba gained the upper hand in the fight against the Golden Moon Violent Bear, it does not mean that he is stronger than the Golden Moon Violent Bear. In fact, his strength is roughly the same as that of the Golden Moon Violent Bear.
The scorching heat of the 'Scorching Sun Jade Body Technique' is almost the same as the golden light talent of the Golden Moon Violent Bear.
The reason why he was able to suppress the Golden Moon Violent Bear was that he possessed two auxiliary magical powers. The 'Divine Eyes' allowed him to see the movement of the Golden Moon Violent Bear's spiritual power, giving him a small chance of judging the Golden Moon Violent Bear's next move.
In this kind of close combat, through physical contact, 'telepathy' can play a certain role and eavesdrop on some of the Golden Moon Violent Bear's thoughts.
In close combat, any advantage gained will be infinitely magnified.
The violent attacks fell on the Golden Moon Violent Bear. The Golden Moon Violent Bear wanted to fight back, but every time it had this intention, Li Yuanba would attack the part of its body that was supposed to counterattack, interrupting its counterattack.
The golden light defense of the Golden Moon Violent Bear became weaker and weaker under these repeated attacks.
"I give up!" To Li Yuanba's surprise, after being hit hard, the Golden Moon Violent Bear quickly retreated and conveyed its meaning through spiritual thoughts.
Big monsters like the Golden Moon Violent Bear are also intelligent beings to some extent.
There was no communication in this way before, because the Golden Moon Violent Bear thought that Li Yuanba and the others were too weak and not worthy of communication.
Li Yuanba stopped and did not pursue.
He knew very well that the battle with the Golden Moon Violent Bear was not a battle of life and death, but a competition for resources.
There might be casualties in the battle, but he must not kill the opponent after he admits defeat. The agreement between the Spirit Beast Clan and the Senluo Sect was not signed in vain. If he really dares to kill the Golden Moon Violent Bear after he admits defeat, then he will most likely invite revenge from the Spirit Beast Clan.
The Golden Moon Violent Bear didn't wait for Li Yuanba's reply, and turned around and flew downwards.
This is not the first time it has lost. It will just work hard to practice and get back at the opponent next time.
"We won?" Jiang Pu was still in a daze, and the Golden Moon Violent Bear admitted defeat. They had the right to collect the third-grade royal jelly this time.
"Junior Brother Li, are you really a swordsman?" Senior Brother Qi Jin looked at Li Yuanba and asked in confusion.
Yes, although sword cultivators are powerful, that is achieved through sword intent. The battle that Li Yuanba just fought was completely a suppression of physical fitness.
Senior Brother Qi Jin is a cultivator who is good at close combat, and he knows even better how terrifying Li Yuanba's physique is.
He himself relied on the special properties of his earth-attributed skills to achieve close combat, whereas Li Yuanba relied entirely on his powerful body training for close combat. There was a huge difference between the two.
The reason why he asked whether Li Yuanba was really a sword cultivator was because if Li Yuanba continued to develop in this way, he would become a great elder-level body refining golden elixir, which was a completely different path from sword cultivation.
"My major is swordsmanship, and I also practiced the 'Scorching Sun Jade Body Technique'. It was only because of some adventures that I was able to achieve some success in refining this technique!" Li Yuanba explained with a smile.
Jiang Pu's eyes revealed envy. What kind of adventure could allow Li Yuanba's physical strength to reach such a level?
What he didn't know was that the adventure Li Yuanba mentioned was actually the robbery of a fake infant monk.
"Since the Golden Moon Violent Bear has admitted defeat, let's go into the valley and wait for the royal jelly to form!" Senior Brother Qi Jin reminded.
The three of them landed at the entrance of the valley. This was the place to enter the valley. The sect had a method to enter. Under the leadership of Senior Brother Qi Jin, they brought Jiang Pu and Li Yuanba in smoothly.
In fact, Li Yuanba could enter the formation on his own. Although the formation was special, it was not difficult for him to break it.
The real power of this formation is not the formation itself, but the ability to enter the valley without alerting the second-grade Muyang Bee inside.
Entering from the valley entrance is the only way to enter the valley without alarming the Muyang bees.
After entering the entrance, Li Yuanba saw a path that bypassed the sea of flowers. The path was shielded by the formation and was separated from the sea of flowers.
The formation of this path was artificially built and seemed to be specially prepared for collecting royal jelly.
The three of them walked on the path, and Mu Yangfeng, who was not far away, ignored their presence.
