Yongle Island, an island that had no fame a year ago, is now very famous.
Monks kept coming in and out of the island, and every monk had excitement and joy on his face.
They regarded Yongle Island as their chance, perhaps the hope that they could break free from the shackles of their talents and make great progress in their cultivation lies here.
In Yongle Island, there are too many opportunities to obtain resources.
"Get out of the way! It's Master Shida!" A cultivator warned in a low voice and pulled his friends around him to get out of the way.
Just at this moment, a figure shot out from the center of the island and flew out of the island.
The speed was not fast at first, allowing the monks from Yongle Island to avoid it in time.
But after leaving the range of Yongle Island, his speed suddenly increased, and at the same time a cold sword intent emanated from him.
A Foundation Establishment cultivator in front of him, who was from an unknown force, seemed to be shocked by the astonishing sword intent, and happened to stand in front of the figure.
The figure rushed through the Foundation Establishment cultivator without any pause. The cultivator's body exploded into ice chips the moment it came into contact with the sword intent and fell into the sea.
All the cultivators who saw all this had no sympathy for the Foundation Establishment cultivator, how dare they react like this.
Shi Ming, the great sword-cultivating elder sent by Tianxing Trading Company, has obviously reduced the number of Jindan cultivators from the six major sects on the battlefield since his arrival, and each one has become more cunning.
He likes killing and has been waiting for the six major sects to send out truly powerful people.
When the news came back to Yongle Island, he recognized Li Yuanba from the intelligence.
Li Yuanba is very famous. Although he is not the grand elder, he has a status equivalent to that of the grand elder in the six major sects. This is due to the competition with the Great Arhat of Wisdom Fire a year ago.
With his complete defeat on Zhihuo Arhat at the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, Li Yuanba's combat power was rated equal to that of the Great Elder.
Of course, there is no description in the rumors outside that Li Yuanba possesses the physical training strength of the great elder.
This was an intentional control by the six major sects. Not only Li Yuanba, but also the other great elders, the secret techniques they practiced and other information were all kept strictly confidential, just to prevent Tianxing Trading Company from finding out the details of the great elders' strength and making targeted responses.
After knowing that Li Yuanba appeared, Great Elder Shi Ming didn't want to wait any longer. He was not satisfied at all with the Jindan cultivators he had killed before, as they were too weak.
Finally, a decent opponent appeared, and killing such a genius was his favorite thing to do.
Elder Shi Ming did not underestimate any enemy. He knew from his spies that Li Yuanba stopped where he was. He took Li Yuanba's location as his target and began preparing for battle from a long distance away.
Aside from being able to unleash sword intent on the spot, a sword cultivator can also accumulate sword intent before a battle through secret methods. This allows the sword cultivator to unleash much stronger sword intent than usual at the moment of battle.
This is what Great Elder Shi Ming did. He was good at the ice sword intent. As he flew over the sea, the ice sword intent emanating from his body became stronger and stronger as he flew.
The sea surface he flew over was condensed by the ice sword intent into an ice crystal floating on the sea surface where he flew.
In the chaotic Yongle battlefield, no cultivator dared to attack Great Elder Shi Ming, or the cultivators who were originally in his path all avoided him.
If one did not avoid it, he would be affected by the ice sword intent, and would either be seriously injured by the sword intent or die directly.
Li Yuanba narrowed his eyes slightly. From the monitoring screen of the drone satellite system, he saw the movement trajectory of Great Elder Shi Ming.
He didn't know the identity of Great Elder Shi Ming, but from the trace of ice crystals, he could tell that he was a powerful Jindan master at the level of a great elder.
He had no intention of retreating or avoiding. He really wanted to know how powerful the great elders of the outside continent were.
He took a deep breath and started to practice the "Scorching Sun Jade Body Technique". His skin and even his internal organs began to turn into jade. Terrifyingly high temperatures emanated from his body, and a cloud of mist formed outside his body above the humid sea surface.
A third-grade sword base appeared in his hand, and a sword was floating beside him.
Li Yuanba had been using his 'Divine Eyes' to observe Great Elder Shi Ming who was getting closer and closer. As Great Elder Shi Ming got closer, the icy sword intent that was rising into the sky was like a heavenly sword, pointing at him from afar, and could chop him down at any time.
This is the psychological pressure of the sword, and the effect of this psychological pressure will become stronger as you get closer.
"So strong!" Li Yuanba looked at Elder Shi Ming with shining eyes and murmured.
The Yang Sword Intent and the Great Elder-level body training in his body were fully activated. This was his strongest combat power in human form.
Great Elder Shi Ming also saw Li Yuanba. There was no emotion in his eyes, and the coldness in them echoed the icy sword intent.
When he saw that Li Yuanba was not going to dodge but was going to confront him head-on, the corner of his mouth twitched, as if he wanted to laugh, but since he hadn't laughed for a long time, the smile was very stiff.
From the slightly opened mouth, the white and bloodthirsty teeth were revealed.
He accumulated hundreds of miles of icy sword intent, gathered it on his natal flying sword in front of him, and slashed towards Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba's face changed. The power of the ice sword was beyond his expectations. This attack was definitely the strongest attack he had ever seen from any of the great elders.
There are some differences between the great elders and the great elders. These differences are caused by the fact that the great elders practice different main techniques and use different magic weapons.
At the level of a great elder, even the slightest gap would be infinitely magnified.
Li Yuanba switched from holding the third-grade sword base with one hand to holding the third-grade sword base with both hands. He gave up the idea of using the Xingyi Sword to block.
Whether it's the extremely yang sword intent or the middle-stage golden elixir spiritual power within Xing Yijian, they are far inferior to the natal flying sword magic weapon of Great Elder Shi Ming.
The most terrifying thing was that when he used the 'Divine Eyes' to observe, he found that the flying sword of the Great Elder Shi Ming was almost invulnerable. At least with his eyesight, he could not find any weaknesses that could be used to counterattack.
However, with the support of 'Divine Vision', he could see clearly the attack path of Great Elder Shi Ming's natal flying sword magic weapon. At the same time, 'Scorching Sun Jade Body Technique' ensured that he could maintain the flexibility of his body under the influence of the opponent's icy sword intent.
"Kill!" Great Elder Shi Ming shouted, and his innate flying sword magic weapon struck towards Li Yuanba with unparalleled force.
Li Yuanba also shouted loudly, holding the third-grade sword base in both hands to block his natal flying sword magic weapon.
With a loud "bang", Li Yuanba felt an indescribable chill sweeping over his whole body. Although his body was protected by the 'Scorching Sun Jade Body Technique', he was still wrapped in a ball of solid ice.
At the same time, the huge force transmitted from Great Elder Shi Ming's natal flying sword magic weapon caused him to be knocked away without his body being able to resist.
Because the flying sword of Great Elder Shi Ming was attacking diagonally downward, Li Yuanba's body turned into a big ice ball and was hit into the sea.
Great Elder Shi Ming did not show any joy at all for knocking Li Yuanba into the sea. His eyes followed the spot where a splash of water was created by the blast of the big ice ball, and he rushed towards there without any hesitation.
He knew very well that Li Yuanba had not suffered any serious injury, because he found that Xing Yijian in the air had sunk into the sea first.
The Xingyi Sword carries the aura of Li Yuanba, and it is Li Yuanba’s natal magic weapon.
If Li Yuanba had died, this magical weapon would not be so spiritual.
Great Elder Shi Ming had no intention of showing any mercy. He knew that if Li Yuanba took his full-strength attack head-on, he would definitely not feel good, and at the very least he would suffer serious injuries.
Indeed, Li Yuanba felt a little regretful in his heart. He did not expect that with the physical training strength of a great elder, he could not defend against the attack of the great elder Shi Ming's natal flying sword.
The terrifying icy sword intent was trying to destroy his body like crazy, but the extremely yang 'Scorching Sun Jade Body Technique' filled his body with extremely yang energy, trying his best to prevent the invasion of the icy sword intent.
In this situation, his remaining combat power was less than half, and he was simply unable to face a powerful sword-cultivating elder like Elder Shi Ming.
He finally understood how terrifying the Great Sword Cultivator Elder was. He himself was a sword cultivator, but the sword intent of Great Elder Shi Ming was at least several times stronger than his.
After falling into the sea, he found himself wrapped in an ice ball formed by the ice sword intent, which made him unable to even perform the "Lotus Step by Step".
As soon as he thought about it, his body changed from a human state to a corpse state.
The moment he transformed into the corpse refining state, the icy sword intent was forcibly swallowed up by his body.
Li Yuanba was in the state of corpse refining, and the extreme yin energy in his body was even colder than the ice sword intent. Apart from the sword, the ice attribute of the ice sword intent could not affect the body of the corpse.
However, his defense in the corpse state was much stronger than in the human state, which made it impossible for the sword intent to harm his body. Instead, his corpse body forcibly swallowed up the icy sword intent.
However, it would still take a lot of time to digest this icy sword intent and turn it into energy for the body, so he didn't pay any attention to this icy sword intent.
His body shook slightly, and the ice on his body turned into powder.
At this time, due to the impact force, his body followed the big ice ball to more than 100 meters below the sea surface. He sensed that the great elder Shi Ming was chasing him from above.
A white lotus appeared under his feet and his figure disappeared in an instant.
Great Elder Shi Ming entered the water, with his natal flying sword in front and him behind. This was the standard way of fighting for sword practitioners.
After entering the water, his spiritual consciousness emanated and he discovered Li Yuanba's transformation process. His face was finally no longer expressionless and revealed a look of astonishment.
Even though he was born in Tianxing Trading Company and had a wide range of knowledge, he had never seen a cultivator transform into a refined corpse.
Or maybe Li Yuanba himself is a refined corpse, and usually transforms into a human being.
Just as he was thinking, Li Yuanba's figure disappeared, and then he felt a slight fluctuation of spatial energy beside him.
Great Elder Shi Ming immediately controlled his natal flying sword to return. The natal flying sword was about a hundred meters away from him, and under normal circumstances, he could reach it with just a thought.
But this was in the sea, and the flying speed of the natal flying sword was a beat slower than in the air.
This slow beat would not mean anything under normal circumstances, but at this moment it is the most deadly danger.
Li Yuanba used 'Lotus Steps' in his body refining state, and with the heart hoop on his head, he appeared directly next to Great Elder Shi Ming.
No matter how fast the sword cultivator's innate flying sword was, after Li Yuanba used it one step ahead, his divine feet speed surpassed the speed of the sword.
Elder Shi Ming was not panicked. He had experienced too many battles and was able to grow into a great elder, especially a sword-cultivating elder. He had extremely rich combat experience.
As long as he is given one tenth of a breath of time, his natal flying sword magic weapon will return to defend him and he can escape from danger.
Although the defense of a sword cultivator cannot be compared with that of a cultivator who specializes in body training, his defense is much stronger than that of other cultivators due to the long-term strengthening of the sword intent.
In addition, he has the strength of a great elder, so he is confident that he can block Li Yuanba's attack. Li Yuanba only has one chance to attack.
He has many secret techniques, each of which can exert great power and put Li Yuanba to death.
Li Yuanba's sharp claws grabbed towards Elder Shi Ming, and just as they came into contact with Elder Shi Ming's defensive spiritual power, strange regular patterns flashed on the claws.
Elder Shi Ming's eyes widened. His mind was exceptionally clear when he encountered danger. He sensed the aura on Li Yuanba's sharp claws.
He wanted to scream and dodge, but it was too late.
The conditions for performing the "Sky-Splitting Divine Power" were harsh, but in the sea water, Great Elder Shi Ming's movement speed slowed down, and he placed his hopes on his natal flying sword magic weapon, which gave Li Yuanba the opportunity to perform the "Sky-Splitting Divine Power".
When he used his attack power at close range, the defensive spiritual power on Elder Shi Ming's body did not have the slightest defensive effect, and a terrifying space crack appeared on his body.
Along with it came a large amount of horrific corpse poison and space-splitting energy, and Great Elder Shi Ming's body stiffened.
At this time, his natal flying sword magic weapon flew back and shot towards Li Yuanba.
Unfortunately, because Great Elder Shi Ming was seriously injured, his natal flying sword magic weapon lost most of its spiritual power. Li Yuanba reached out and grabbed the natal flying sword magic weapon.
When Li Yuanba was in corpse refining state, the third-grade flying sword magic weapon without the blessing of sword cultivator could not break his defense at all.
Li Yuanba struck another blow at Great Elder Shi Ming, killing him completely.
He took off the space ring from Elder Shi Ming and then put away the body.
He let out a long breath. He was careless this time, but he finally realized the gap between him and the great sword cultivator elder.
The sword-cultivation technique practiced by Great Elder Shi Ming was indeed, as he guessed, inferior in quality to the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky' he practiced. This could be determined from the sword intent.
Even though Great Elder Shi Ming's sword intent was extremely powerful and defeated him with one strike, judging objectively, it was mainly the icy effect of the icy sword intent that played a decisive role.
Li Yuanba had personally come into contact with the icy sword intent of Great Elder Shi Ming, and he had an accurate judgment of the martial arts practiced by Great Elder Shi Ming.
