When Master Duan Zhang gave up his physical body, he activated a life-saving jade talisman. This was the Thunder Escape Jade Talisman prepared for the master by a powerful person in the Yuqing Sect.
This jade talisman is somewhat different from the Thunder Escape performed by ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators. The Thunder Escape contained in this jade talisman contains the rules of thunder and lightning.
If the lightning rules contained in Master Duan Zhang's own Thunder Escape are used as the standard, then the lightning rules contained in the Thunder Escape of this powerful life-saving jade talisman are ten times as strong as his.
This is also his greatest means of preserving his life. After leaving his body, his Nascent Soul turned into an indescribable flash of lightning and fled into the distance.
Li Shiming naturally also discovered the movements of the Nascent Soul of Master Duan Zhang. His spiritual sense swept across Master Duan Zhang's body, took it away, and then his figure disappeared on the spot.
On one side is the life-saving jade talisman of a powerful person, and on the other side is the "Instant Arrival" controlled by multiple brains. If a truly powerful person were to perform Thunder Escape here, with the powerful person taking a step ahead, the possibility of Li Shiming catching up would not be very high.
But how many powerful thunder and lightning rules can be preserved in the powerful life-saving jade talisman? Even though it is more than ten times the thunder and lightning rules mastered by the great monk, the thunder and lightning rules mastered by the great monk are just the tip of the real thunder and lightning rules.
Li Shiming's 'One Move' can reach eight thousand miles. He can perform 'One Move' continuously without any interval. As long as there is enough energy in his body, he can move eight thousand miles continuously without limit.
In three breaths of time, he caught up with the Nascent Soul of the great monk Duan Zhang.
The thunder escape activated by the powerful life-saving jade talisman is, to some extent, the most advanced life-saving method in the world of immortal cultivation.
But in front of Li Shiming, he only escaped for three more breaths, and these three breaths also included the time he spent taking over the physical body of the great monk Duan Zhang.
The Nascent Soul of Master Duan Zhang only felt a flash of lightning falling, and he suddenly found himself in a "lightning cage".
Li Shiming was using his own method to return the favor. Before, Master Duan Zhang had used the 'electrical cage' to capture Li Yuanba. He had prepared the 'electrical cage' in his mind with a brain.
After catching up with the Nascent Soul of Great Monk Duan Zhang, he directly cast a 'Lightning Cage' without any lead time.
The 'Lightning Cage' is more effective against Nascent Souls than against the physical bodies of cultivators, because if the 'Lightning Cage' traps a cultivator of the same level, the other party may even suffer some injuries, and as long as the physical body is strong enough, he can force his way out of the 'Lightning Cage'.
But it’s different when trapping the Nascent Soul. The Nascent Soul’s defense is extremely weak, and even the Nascent Soul of a great cultivator is not much different.
There is no way that a Nascent Soul could attack the 'Lightning Cage' of the same level, that would be an act of suicide.
Although Li Shiming was only a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, he had practiced the 'Heavenly Art'. With the blessing of the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl', the ultimate treasure for thunder cultivators, the power of the thunder magic he could exert had reached the level of a middle to late stage great cultivator, which was enough to trap the Nascent Soul of the great cultivator Duan Zhang.
"What a good move! You are at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm and are performing the thunder magic of a great cultivator. It is not a humiliation to me if I die in your hands!" Great cultivator Duan Zhang made no more moves. He had given up all hope and just wanted to say a few last words.
"'Yuqing Thunder Code' is indeed very powerful!" Li Shiming said lightly.
He did not explain much, but pushed the power of thunder magic above the "Yuqing Thunder Classic".
"I know that the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' is in your hands, but I didn't expect you to dare to show up. Is Li Yuanba so important to you?" Great Monk Duan Zhang asked his question.
He explained the reason why Li Shiming was able to perform great monk-level thunder magic as being due to the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl'.
Although the supreme treasure 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' is not a spiritual treasure, its importance to thunder cultivators is no less than that of any spiritual treasure.
This is the beloved item of the powerful person of Yuqing Sect. That powerful person has enough confidence that the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' will not be lost.
Because the mighty one had spent thousands of years to sacrifice and refine the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl', with this level of sacrifice and refinement, even if a mighty one of the same level took action, it would be impossible to erase the aura of the mighty one of the Yuqing Sect from the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' in a short period of time.
As long as the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' is still within the realm of immortal cultivation, even if it is in a certain cave, the powerful ones of Yuqing Sect will be able to find it.
But things did not go as planned. It is estimated that the powerful man did not expect that Li Shiming's computer room was an independent space and had nothing to do with this world.
Li Shiming can also place the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' in the computer room to mobilize the power of the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl'.
Only when he mobilizes the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' will the aura of the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' be leaked.
Even if he leaked some aura of the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl', this was not the aura of the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' itself, and would not be sensed by that powerful person. Only the Yuqing Sect's thunder cultivator who was close to him could sense the aura of the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl'.
"You don't need to know this. Who sent you to capture Li Yuanba?" Li Shiming asked in a deep voice.
"The Baidi Sect paid a huge price. Even if I fail today, other great monks will take action. If the Baidi Sect targets a monk, there is no way that monk can escape!" Great monk Duan Zhang had no intention of concealing the truth for the Baidi Sect.
At this time, he was actually resentful of the Baidi Sect. If it weren't for the mission given by the Baidi Sect, how could he have fallen to this point.
"Master Duan Zhang, do you have any last words?" Li Shiming asked finally, with lightning appearing in his hands.
"I'm waiting for you and Li Yuanba in hell!" The Nascent Soul of the great monk Duan Zhang looked at Li Shiming and said.
A beam of lightning fell into the lightning cage, but it was different from what Master Duan Zhang had imagined. The lightning was just a feint, and it was the Heavenly Ghost that actually killed Master Duan Zhang's Nascent Soul.
The Nascent Soul of Master Duan Zhang was waiting for death, so he gave up all resistance. In fact, even if he wanted to resist, he couldn't do it under such circumstances.
However, if Master Duan Zhang knew his fate, that his soul would be devoured by the celestial ghost, he would definitely fight to the death.
The end of being devoured by a heavenly ghost is the complete annihilation of the soul, which is a way of death that no cultivator can accept.
"No!" This was the last sound uttered by the Nascent Soul of Master Duan Zhang. It was shrill and filled with a strong sense of unwillingness. This was not the death he wanted.
The celestial ghost swallowed the Nascent Soul of the great monk Duan Zhang in one gulp. The terrifying spiritual energy instantly invaded and affected the Nascent Soul's soul. The Nascent Soul's self-destruction movement was slowed down, and then it lost the ability to self-destruct.
The consequence of a Nascent Soul's self-destruction is the destruction of the soul and the complete annihilation of life in this world. Therefore, a normal Nascent Soul cultivator will not self-destruct even when facing death.
Master Duan Zhang made a great determination, but it was too late.
The talent of the Heavenly Ghost is to target the soul and spirit, especially after being devoured by it, which is the Heavenly Ghost's home turf. Even the Nascent Soul of a great cultivator has a defense that is not much stronger than that of the Nascent Soul in the early or middle stages, so they will naturally allow the Heavenly Ghost to invade.
In addition, the Heavenly Ghost had been strengthened several times before. This time, it devoured the Nascent Soul of the great monk Duan Zhang, and the benefits it gained were not small, so the Heavenly Ghost had to digest it slowly.
Li Shiming is not worried about the Heavenly Ghost being too strong now. After practicing the 'Heavenly Art', his spirit has reached the level of a great cultivator. As long as the Heavenly Ghost does not break through to the fifth level all at once, it will not be able to escape from his control.
The Sky Ghost opened his mouth and spat out a 'Sky Thunder Hammer' and a Soul Crystal Ring, then formed a ball.
Li Shiming took the celestial ghost into the Tianren Cave Heaven. The celestial ghost was going to return to the body of the great monk Luo Pei and use the monk's body for digestion.
Li Shiming took the 'Heavenly Thunder Hammer', which was a top-grade magic weapon of the fourth grade. There were faint fluctuations of the power of thunder and lightning rules on it. It could be seen that this 'Heavenly Thunder Hammer' had been refined by the great monk Duan Zhang for many years, and he had already refined his own understanding of the rules of thunder and lightning into the 'Heavenly Thunder Hammer'.
"What a pity!" He shook his head and put away the 'Sky-Strike Thunder Hammer'.
This 'Heavenly Thunder Hammer' is the natal magic weapon of Master Duan Zhang. Even if it has been refined to an extremely high level, it is only relative to Master Duan Zhang himself. For other thunder cultivators, the deeper the level of refinement, the more difficult it will be to eliminate the influence of Master Duan Zhang.
He took the soul crystal ring again, but he would not check it here.
He didn't know how much fluctuation his battle with Master Duan Zhang had caused, and how much attention it had attracted. His identity could not be discovered.
He felt the energy in his body, then used the "Instant Reach" technique, and his figure disappeared into the distance.
As he fled away, he was also thinking about today's battle.
Today's battle was his first fair fight with a great monk from a super power in his prime, and he killed him.
Speaking of fairness, it’s actually not fair.
Li Shiming knew a little about Master Duan Zhang, but Master Duan Zhang knew very little about his combat power and the methods he mastered. This asymmetry in information was the main reason for Master Duan Zhang's disastrous defeat.
Looking at the entire battle process, Master Duan Zhang did not launch a single attack, which is very telling.
As a great monk who is a thunder cultivator, Duan Zhang's attacks are the fastest, and it is almost impossible to dodge the attacks of a thunder cultivator.
But all his actions seemed to have been predicted by Li Shiming.
Li Shiming has combat assistance, and his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15 becomes stronger as his spirit becomes stronger.
Before a battle, IBMz15 will conduct a battle analysis based on the enemy information it has, and rehearse all possible reactions and responses from the enemy.
In wartime, IBM z15 will provide real-time battlefield analysis and point out the enemy's vulnerabilities.
It can be said that as long as Li Shiming and the enemy are at the same level, he can use crushing-level combat skills to completely defeat the enemy.
Of course, Li Shiming is not without weaknesses. His own realm is his weakness. The 'Heavenly Art' makes up for all his aspects, making him almost the same as a great cultivator.
However, he had only practiced the 'Heavenly Art' for too short a time, and even with the assistance of IBMz15, he could not compare with the veteran masters in terms of defense.
The defensive magic weapons he had practiced before are no longer suitable for his own strength.
He didn't refine any new defensive magic weapon, so his defense was only able to rely on his physical body to resist attacks.
With his physique equivalent to that of a body-refining great monk, he had some confidence that he could withstand one or two attacks from normal great monks, but facing a thunder-cultivating great monk like Great Monk Duan Zhang, he was worried about being paralyzed by thunder magic.
If he were really paralyzed by thunder, he would be killed by the great monk Duan Zhang.
Therefore, in the battle with Master Duan Zhang, Li Shiming used extreme operations and made perfect use of his own advantages, preventing Master Duan Zhang from being able to attack him even once from the beginning of the battle.
However, he used the attack methods of a great monk and defeated the great monk Duan Zhang in a short time.
Li Shiming returned to a place thousands of miles away from Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion, and released his clone Li Yuanba.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist. Here are a few elixirs for great cultivators. Please help refine them!" After the clone Li Yuanba came out, he said politely, but his actions were not polite at all. He took out a few jade boxes and said.
"Fellow Daoist, please be careful in the future!" Li Shiming took the jade box and nodded.
Li Yuanba did not hesitate this time, and used the "A World Away" to rush towards the sword-wielding Chongxiao Pavilion.
He decided that whenever he went out in the future, he would constantly change direction.
He knew very well that a sword cultivator must have betrayed him, but such a thing was difficult to investigate.
The sword cultivator betrayed his whereabouts, and only a contact card was needed to send the information out. The only way to find this sword cultivator was to mobilize the Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion's large formation for surveillance and then set a trap to make the sword cultivator betray the information again.
He shook his head and had no intention of finding the swordsman right now. What he needed now was to increase his own strength.
Li Yuanba returned to the Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion. Just as he was about to enter his own cave in the Sword Cave Heaven, a figure appeared beside him.
"Hello, Master Jian!" He bowed quickly and greeted him.
The only one who could move in this way in the Sword Cave Heaven was Jian Lao.
"You have traces of the Yuqing Sect's soul-locking forbidden technique on your body. What happened?" Old Jian waved his hand to let him stand up and asked.
Old Jian is guarding the Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion, and he will pay attention to any trace of alien aura appearing in the Sword Cave Heaven at the first moment.
After Li Yuanba was captured by the great monk Duan Zhang, he cast two restraints on him. One restraint was a magic weapon and was easy to remove, so he just had to take it off forcibly.
Master Luo Pei removed the magic weapon's restraint with just a wave of his hand, but the restraint of Yuqing Sect's secret technique was not so easy to remove.
Master Luo Pei was the weakest among the masters. Even with Li Shiming's familiarity with the 'Jade Purity Thunder Code', it still took him a lot of effort to unlock the Jade Purity Sect's soul-locking forbidden technique.
Even so, there were still some traces of the Yuqing Sect's soul-locking forbidden technique remaining in Li Yuanba's body, which required Li Yuanba to slowly eliminate them on his own.
But he didn't expect that Master Jian's perception would be so sensitive, and the trace left in his body was still discovered by Master Jian.
Here we have to talk about the reason why Mr. Jian is so sensitive, and it was Li Shiming himself who did it.
From the Fuliu Sect to the Qianren Sect, the caves and heavens of the two major sects were stolen by cultivators, causing all the sects that possessed caves and heavens to become cautious, and the same was true for the Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion.
