After crossing a section of the ocean, Li Yuanba entered the Zhongzhou continent for the first time.
The speed of the fourth-grade flying boat was not slow. It was flying just below the thirty-third heaven at an altitude of about ten thousand meters. At this altitude, it would not be easily discovered unless it was close to a large formation of some force.
Along the way, Guo Ping taught Li Yuanba how to cooperate with other Nascent Soul sword cultivators in the team, the team's normal formations and combat habits, etc.
Guo Ping is a very meticulous swordsman, which can be judged from the way he speaks.
No wonder Yun Xiao asked him to help Li Yuanba familiarize himself with the team's formation. He completed the task assigned by Yun Xiao perfectly.
"Li Yuanba, you must use all your strength in the surprise attack later, but don't use the Nascent Soul Dharma Image. It's best to kill the Nascent Soul cultivators of Huadie Sect before they can react and use the Nascent Soul Dharma Image in advance!" Yun Xiao gave another instruction when they were approaching the mountain gate of Huadie Sect.
"I understand!" Li Yuanba nodded seriously.
Yun Xiao looked at the other Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators again, and several of them nodded to him.
He waved his hand to put away the fourth-grade flying boat, took out a talisman and activated it. The talisman turned into a light gray mist, covering the entire team.
Li Yuanba discovered that this talisman was an extremely rare type of fourth-grade spell, which was used to conceal one's own aura.
What surprised him the most was that Yun Xiao used this talisman as a normal method.
You should know that each of these talismans is extremely precious.
Li Yuanba, who had learned the battle formation, stood at his position and flew forward with the team.
He kept his distance from other Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators and activated the 'Divine Eyes' to observe the mountain gate of the Huadie Sect.
Huadie Gate is located among the mountains with rich spiritual energy. The gate is surrounded by colorful spiritual flowers, and butterflies and bees are flying among the flowers. This is probably the origin of Huadie Gate.
The main source of income for Huadiemen is the spiritual nectar.
But that was in the past. Li Yuanba learned from the intelligence of Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion that the Huadie Sect had changed its style of doing things in the past hundred years. There was the shadow of the Demon Sect behind them, and they had done many unscrupulous things.
If it were just that, Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion would not have intervened. However, who asked a Yuanying cultivator from Huadie Sect to abduct the mortal relatives of a cultivator from Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion to practice magic when attacking mortals? That's why Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion issued a mission to kill Huadie Sect.
"The probability of the formation-breaking talisman in my hand breaking this formation is only 20%. If it fails, I will concentrate all my efforts on breaking it. Although it will alert the monks of the Huadie Sect, there is nothing we can do about it!" Yun Xiao said as he took out a formation-breaking talisman.
Thanks to the effect of the talisman, their team arrived in front of the formation and were not discovered by it.
Li Yuanba sensed the formation and found that it was only average and not a particularly complex one.
"Yun Xiao, I have some research on formations. I wonder if you could let me try first to see if I can break this formation!" Hearing that there was only a 20% chance, he spoke up quickly.
"Then you will be the one to break the formation. Don't feel any psychological burden. The success rate of using the formation-breaking talisman is very low anyway. Just assume that I used up the talisman and failed!" Yun Xiao agreed after a slight hesitation.
Li Yuanba observed the formation through his 'Divine Eyes', and at the same time, he connected his mind to IBMz15 and began to analyze the formation in front of him.
With today's IBM z15, the knowledge of formations in the database has been greatly supplemented. Although the Wanshou Sect is not a sect that is particularly good at formations, the formation foundation of a large sect is extremely profound.
In his eyes, each spiritual power line was marked by IBMz15, and the relationship between the nodes and the spiritual power lines was sorted out.
He stretched out his hand and tapped the formation in front of him several times. Then something happened that surprised Yun Xiao and other Nascent Soul sword cultivators. A passage appeared in the formation in front of them.
"Li Yuanba, you are amazing. This is not just some research on formations. If it were just some research, those formation masters would be ashamed to death!" Du Lei gave a thumbs up and praised.
"Stop talking and get ready to enter the Huadie Gate!" Yun Xiao glanced at Du Lei and said in a deep voice.
Without the large formation, the team passed through the passage opened by Li Yuanba and entered the mountain gate of Huadie Sect.
Although Yun Xiao stopped Du Lei from speaking, the Nascent Soul sword cultivators in the team kept looking at Li Yuanba. They became more and more satisfied with Li Yuanba.
Sword cultivators are not afraid of fighting, but it is a bit difficult for them to study the formation in depth.
Sword cultivators need to practice martial arts for a long time and constantly refine their innate flying swords. Most of their time is spent on these aspects, which will allow sword cultivators to become the strongest attacking profession.
But they would never refuse to have a swordsman companion who is proficient in formations and can easily break the formation, solving many troubles for them.
"The cave residence of the eight Nascent Soul cultivators is right there!" Yun Xiao took out a map and pointed to the eight peaks in the center of the mountain gate.
They were already within combat distance, ready to attack the eight peaks.
"Li Yuanba, if you have area attacks, try to use them as much as possible and cover as many mountains as possible!" Yun Xiao emphasized to Li Yuanba.
His idea was to use Li Yuanba's attack as a distraction so that they could kill the opponent's Nascent Soul cultivator in a targeted manner when they sensed him.
Now that they have reached this distance and are well prepared, as long as the opponent's Nascent Soul cultivator appears, they will definitely be slaughtered.
Although the Nascent Soul cultivators of Huadie Sect are not the Nascent Soul cultivators of independent cultivators, they are not much different. In terms of combat power, they are far inferior to the Nascent Soul cultivators of medium and large sects, not to mention the Nascent Soul sword cultivators of Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion.
Yun Xiao ordered Li Yuanba to do things so that Li Yuanba could show more of his abilities and facilitate their future cooperation.
Yes, they had only been together with Li Yuanba for a short time, but they already had the idea of long-term cooperation with Li Yuanba.
A man who possesses a top-level fourth-grade innate flying sword and can break through the protective formation of a small sect in a short time, even though Li Yuanba is a newly promoted Nascent Soul swordsman, they are extremely satisfied and want to accept Li Yuanba into the team.
If they don't want such a teammate now, when Li Yuanba's strength increases in the future, it will be the turn of other teams to compete for him. Even now, if some teams knew Li Yuanba's ability, they would definitely be eager to accept Li Yuanba.
"I have range attack!" Li Yuanba replied affirmatively.
Zhuo Xuan, the female swordsman standing by, smiled. This was her job. She was the swordsman who was best at range attacks in the team.
If Li Yuanba was unable to alarm the enemy, she would take over immediately.
Li Yuanba summoned the 'Wanjian Peak'. Yun Xiao looked at the 'Wanjian Peak' with some curiosity. The magic weapon 'Wanjian Peak' gave people a strange feeling, and it was impossible to accurately determine the grade of 'Wanjian Peak'.
"Ten thousand swords fired at once, cut!" Li Yuanba's mind entered the 'Ten Thousand Swords Peak', and he pointed his finger at the eight peaks not far away.
Five 'Flowing Stars' and several flying swords that had been upgraded to the fourth grade and contained his Nascent Soul-level 'Supreme Yang Sword Intent' were divided into eight parts, each led by a flying sword equivalent to the fourth grade quality and Nascent Soul-level sword intent, and flew towards the eight peaks.
Just after he performed the "Ten Thousand Swords", the team's hiding means automatically disappeared, and they were exposed to the Huadie Sect's formation.
But none of this mattered. The sword intent rose in Yun Xiao and the other four Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators. Their natal flying swords, carrying the sword intent, shot out, closely following the ten thousand flying swords of the "Ten Thousand Swords Fired Together".
Under Li Yuanba's "Divine Vision", he could clearly see the eight mountains, formation nodes and spiritual power lines.
In addition, the mountain protection formation of this kind is far less complicated than the sect's large formation, and IBM z15 is used to help with calculations.
When the ten thousand flying swords of "Ten Thousand Swords" flew towards the eight mountains, the leading flying sword, under his control, hit the key node of the formation first, and the formation of the eight mountains was broken instantly.
With his ability, he cannot control tens of thousands of flying swords. The way he controls tens of thousands of flying swords is to have a few flying swords act as the main control swords, and the rest of the flying swords follow the main control swords.
If it were the real Li Shiming, he would still be able to accurately control tens of thousands of flying swords.
Li Shiming practiced the method of splitting the mind, and had one hundred and ninety-one brains available. One brain could split the mind by one hundred, so only one hundred brains were needed to control ten thousand flying swords.
But Li Yuanba was unable to do this, as his spiritual cultivation was far inferior to that of the original body, Li Shiming.
Fortunately, his mission was not to kill, but to disturb the enemy, which did not require precise control of thousands of flying swords.
The leading flying sword broke the formation. After the formations on the eight peaks were broken, more than a thousand flying swords each rushed towards the cave on the peak.
Li Yuanba's attack was so sudden that by the time the Nascent Soul cultivator in the cave discovered it, countless flying swords had already broken into the cave.
If he came alone, he would not dare to attack eight Nascent Soul early stage cultivators at once.
But it’s different now. With five Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators by his side, he can use his skills with confidence and boldness.
I don’t know if it was bad luck for the Nascent Soul cultivators of Huadie Sect, but four of them who were in the early Nascent Soul stage were concentrating on their work and did not react immediately.
When these four Nascent Soul cultivators in the early stage realized something was wrong and wanted to take action, flying swords imbued with Nascent Soul-level sword intent shot into their bodies.
Just as their Nascent Souls were about to leave their bodies, thousands of flying swords followed and shredded their bodies and Nascent Souls into pieces.
There were also four Nascent Soul cultivators who reacted quickly. When the formation in the cave was broken, they had already escaped from the cave and flew into the air to see who attacked them.
For Yun Xiao and the other five Nascent Soul sword cultivators, these Nascent Soul cultivators flying in the air are living targets.
Not only can each of the five Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators get one, but there is also an extra Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator as a backup.
The four flying swords carried different sword intents and drew four different lights and shadows in the air. The four Nascent Soul cultivators in the early stage were hit by the flying swords before they could even display their Nascent Soul Dharma images.
Li Yuanba was also observing his companions' fighting style. He was very curious about the sword cultivators' fighting style.
He had seen very few real sword practitioners. Although he had seen Great-Master Uncle Wu fight, the fight at that time was like an adult beating a child, and it was impossible to reveal Great-Master Uncle Wu's true fighting power.
Now I can finally see how the Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators of Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion fight and how powerful their sword intent is.
Li Yuanba quickly realized his own weakness. Although his natal flying sword was also his own, it was enough to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator if it hit the cultivator's body.
However, the four flying swords in front of him hit the body of the Nascent Soul cultivator, not only destroying his body, but also killing his Nascent Soul, truly destroying his soul and spirit.
This is exactly what he lacks. He has just become a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator, and he has not yet fully unleashed the power of a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator.
"It's so relaxing to have Li Yuanba!" Zhuo Xuan said with a chuckle.
"It's just that without intense fighting, I feel weak all over!" Du Lei disagreed and said with some dissatisfaction.
"When we get back, let Guo Ping and Zhuo Xuan team up to fight you!" Yun Xiao said to Du Lei in a deep voice.
"That's not necessary!" Du Lei shook his head repeatedly.
"Kill all the Jindan cultivators of the Huadie Sect, and we will collect the spoils after they are cleaned up!" Yun Xiao waved his hand and said.
The battle just now ended too quickly, and it was not until this moment that the monks of Huadie Sect realized what had happened.
The Jindan cultivators flew into the air one after another, not knowing that all their Yuanying cultivators had died.
What greeted them were flying swords. Especially after hearing Yun Xiao's order, Li Yuanba mobilized tens of thousands of flying swords, and the results were the most spectacular.
Led by a few flying swords, tens of thousands of flying swords danced back and forth in the air several times, and then no cultivator could be seen in the sky anymore.
No matter how fast the attack speeds of the other Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators' innate flying swords were, they were not as fast as the results achieved by ten thousand flying swords.
However, the subsequent battle would not be something that Li Yuanba's thousands of flying swords could intervene in. If he really used his thousands of flying swords to attack targets on the ground, no one would be left alive.
With a wave of his hand, thousands of flying swords returned to the Wanjian Peak and entered the Wanjian Peak.
"This is a special magic weapon!" Yun Xiao said with a smile as he looked at the 'Wanjianfeng' magic weapon.
He was just curious about the magic weapon of Wanjian Peak, but he did not feel any envy.
As a sword cultivator, Li Yuanba is already an outlier among sword cultivators. In addition to his natal flying sword, he also has the offensive magic weapon "Wanjian Peak".
"This magic weapon needs to devour a large number of fourth-grade flying swords before it can be fully upgraded. Currently, except for the leading flying sword, the power of the other flying swords is limited and they are just for show!" Li Yuanba explained, shaking his head.
"Why do you want to cultivate such a magic weapon!" Yun Xiao couldn't help but said with a toothache.
Just hearing the conditions required for the upgrade of 'Wanjian Peak', even the Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator from a large sect like Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion felt heartbroken for Li Yuanba.
If one really wants to increase the power of "Wanjian Peak" to its ultimate level, does one really need to invest 10,000 fourth-grade flying swords?
Who can afford to play like that?
