The remaining monk Lu from Zhongzhou Trading Company was tense all over, with fear and horror flashing in his eyes.
At the moment when the invisible 'Traceless Phantom Sword' appeared, he sensed an extremely familiar powerful sword intent and the aura of a spiritual treasure.
Great monk Lu immediately determined that this sword intent had the same origin as the sword intent of the peerless genius in the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion. That sword cultivator Li Yuanba, who was only in the middle Nascent Soul stage, killed the great monk with such sword intent. With his middle Nascent Soul stage, he was recognized by all the great monks as having the same status.
The 'Chaos Sword Intent' displayed by Li Shiming in front of him was even more powerful than Li Yuanba's sword intent.
This is not surprising, Li Yuanba's 'Chaos Sword Intent' is only the sword intent of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, while Li Shiming's 'Chaos Sword Intent' is the sword intent of a great cultivator.
The gap between the two is huge. The sword intent of a great monk can contain a trace of sword intent rules.
Not to mention that Li Shiming was using an extremely strange invisible flying sword. After the great monk Qian Yi was killed, the "Traceless Phantom Sword" disappeared again.
Master Lu did not dare to activate the life-saving jade talisman immediately. He had a close relationship with Master Qian Yi and knew that Master Qian Yi must have thought about activating the life-saving jade talisman in the situation just now, but the terrifying invisible magical flying sword did not give Master Qian Yi any chance to activate the life-saving jade talisman.
He continuously blessed himself with all the defenses he could think of, defensive spells rose up around him, and defensive magic weapons were also sacrificed.
It was not until he was protected by more than ten lines of defense that he felt a little safe.
His mind was connected to the life-saving jade talisman. Before activating the talisman, he looked at Li Shiming with some confusion, wondering why Li Shiming did not take this opportunity to attack him.
In the moment of his hesitation, Li Shiming's figure disappeared from the spot.
Then Li Shiming appeared under the protection of Master Lu's multiple magic weapons and spells, sticking closely behind Master Lu.
In Li Shiming's palm, the fourth-grade top-quality sword base materialized.
At such a close distance, under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to launch an attack with a fourth-grade sword in one's hand.
But after acquiring the 'Nameless Sword Canon', Li Shiming gained a better understanding of the attack methods of close combat swordsmen.
The fourth-grade sword base slid across his body with the sword spine. Just as it slid across his body and came into contact with Master Lu's body, as his palm turned slightly, the sword spine flipped into a sword blade.
At this time, Master Lu had already activated the life-saving jade talisman, and a water escape with strong rule power was formed, which was about to carry Master Lu away into the distance.
At the current height, as long as Master Lu escapes from the battlefield and enters the ocean, it will be no problem for him to escape by relying on the water escape method which is based on the powerful water rules.
But an accident still happened. Just as the body of Master Lu turned into flowing water, the blade of the fourth-grade sword base also swept across the flowing water.
If it were an ordinary flying sword, such an attack would hardly pose any threat.
When performing water escape, the cultivator turns into a stream of water, and the stream of water cannot sustain much damage.
But the fourth-grade sword base is blessed with the 'Chaos Sword Intention', and this sword is performed using the 'Nameless Sword Canon', a melee swordsman's attack method.
Perhaps in today's world of immortal cultivation, melee sword cultivators have long been forgotten, but back then, melee sword cultivators were as famous as sword cultivators who used flying swords, and their attacks after getting close were even more terrifying than those of flying swords.
The close range swordsman attacks with a hand-held long sword, which is connected to the swordsman's body. The energy contained in the sword can be adjusted at any time, and the upper limit of the attack that can be sustained is also higher.
After all, the flying sword must be far away from the body. When attacking, the sword intent and spiritual power are channeled into the flying sword, which gives the flying sword a maximum attack limit, which is much lower than the attack limit of a hand-held sword.
Of course, it is difficult to say which is better, the flying sword or the close-combat long sword, but judging from the current situation in the world of immortal cultivation, at least the flying sword cultivators have survived, while the close-combat sword cultivators are facing the dilemma of almost having their inheritance cut off.
The fourth-grade sword foundation swept across Master Lu who was in the water escape state. Master Lu was severely injured by the "chaotic sword intent" and broke out of the water escape state.
He looked at the life-saving jade talisman in his hand with some disbelief. The life-saving jade talisman had turned into pieces, which meant that the life-saving jade talisman had been used, but it did not help him escape successfully.
It doesn't mean that the life-saving jade talisman made by the powerful is useless. In the world of immortal cultivation, it is almost the top life-saving method.
But the problem lies in the timing of use. Because Master Lu took some time to prepare himself for defense, he activated the life-saving jade talisman a step late. As a result, when Li Shiming launched the attack, the water escape transformed by the life-saving jade talisman had just been generated, and before it could leave the battlefield, it was hit by the fourth-grade sword base.
The special nature of 'Chaos Sword Intent' is that although the sword intent rules therein are far inferior to the water rules of the life-saving jade talisman bestowed by the powerful, the sword intent rules have strong attack effects.
If the mighty one performed water escape in person, Li Shiming's 'Chaos Sword Intent' would not be able to break it, but the water escape that the mighty one performed on the life-saving jade talisman was still broken by the 'Chaos Sword Intent'.
The quality of the life-saving jade talisman prevents the powerful from retaining too many water rules in it. It is only slightly stronger than the water rules that the great monks can mobilize, but it is also limited. More water rules are not something that the fourth-grade spiritual jade of the life-saving jade talisman can withstand.
Although the water escape technique weakened most of the damage of the fourth-grade sword, Master Lu still felt that his body and Nascent Soul were being eroded by the 'chaotic sword intent'.
What was even more terrifying was that Li Shiming's figure flashed and came close to him again. Those defensive spells and magic weapons had no effect at all.
This ability to penetrate defensive spells and magic weapons is the result of the spatial movement effect of Shenzutong combined with the special secret method of melee swordsmanship.
In fact, even without the ability of divine feet, a melee swordsman can also achieve the goal of getting close to the enemy by rushing forward at high speed and using special secret methods to penetrate the enemy's defense.
This close combat secret technique recorded in the 'Nameless Sword Canon' is the core of close combat sword cultivation. It is precisely because of the existence of the close combat secret technique that close combat sword cultivation can easily engage in close combat.
You should know that most monks will give themselves defense when fighting, and generally you need to break the defense before you can attack the monk's body.
Melee swordsmen can use their close combat secret techniques to penetrate the monk's defenses and directly attack the monk's body under protection.
"Is this a melee swordsman?" Great Monk Lu no longer had the thought of escaping. He was trying hard to fight against the 'chaotic sword intent' in his body and delay the arrival of death. He wanted to understand the methods used by Li Shiming until he died.
"Yes, it is the close combat sword cultivation manual recorded in the jade slip that you gave to Li Yuanba!" Li Shimingping raised the fourth-grade sword base in his hand and answered in a deep voice.
Without giving Monk Lu a chance to speak, the fourth-grade sword base pierced into Monk Lu's body, and more "chaotic sword intent" entered his body, instantly wiping out Monk Lu's life.
Before his death, Master Lu's eyes showed annoyance and regret.
But what he didn't know was that this melee swordsmanship ability was the weakest fighting method that Li Shiming currently mastered.
If it wasn't for testing his various combat abilities, Li Shiming could have quickly killed Master Lu with just one strike.
The consecutive killing of two great monks left the Zhongzhou Trading Company's long-distance merchant caravan, which had activated a defensive formation and was waiting for the battle to end, at a loss.
Given the current situation, even if Li Shiming let them go, with the strength of the remaining cultivators, they would not be able to safely return to the Zhongzhou continent alive on the ocean.
Such a long-distance merchant caravan is too big a target. Without the escort of a great monk, they will attack any monk they encounter for their own benefit.
In fact, the monks from the Zhongzhou Trading Company's long-distance caravan thought too much, and it was impossible for Li Shiming to let them leave alive.
Li Shiming had just revealed too many secrets. He would never let the monk live and spread the news.
Besides, the grudges between Zhongzhou Trading Company and him need to be settled, and this long-distance merchant fleet can be regarded as interest paid in advance.
His figure flashed, and he used the "Instant Arrival" technique to appear directly inside the defense formation of the long-distance caravan.
He only took a glance and analyzed the defensive formation used by the long-distance merchant caravan. Although this defensive formation prohibited entry through spatial movement, as long as he found the loopholes in the formation, he could easily enter through the loopholes.
As soon as he entered the defensive formation of the long-distance merchant caravan, he released his aura of a great monk.
In the past, he had always been suppressed by high-level cultivators using the pressure of his realm. Now, he finally had the opportunity to use the pressure of his realm to crush his enemies.
This was also the ability he wanted to test. He first released a Yuanying realm pressure, which caused all the cultivators below the Yuanying stage in the long-distance caravan to die.
Then he released the realm pressure of five Nascent Souls, which was equivalent to five great monks who had practiced the "Heaven and Man Art" working closely together to release the realm pressure. The Nascent Soul monks within this range had to face the fifth level of realm pressure.
Within two breaths, all the Nascent Soul early stage cultivators vomited blood and died. Within ten breaths, the Nascent Soul middle stage cultivators began to fall one by one. During the whole process, no Nascent Soul cultivator was able to resist.
This is the real gap between a great cultivator and a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. In the world of immortal cultivation, there are only a few cultivators like Li Shiming and Li Yuanba who can fight across levels in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Even Li Yuanba needs to be careful to deal with the pressure from the great monk's realm. If it weren't for the 'Chaos Sword Intent' that can resist the pressure from the realm, Li Yuanba would not be able to fight with the great monk so many times.
Not to mention Li Shiming, his one hundred and ninety-one brains allow him to evenly distribute the pressure when facing the pressure from a great cultivator.
Li Shiming no longer felt the existence of life, and he put away the pressure of his realm.
His spiritual sense swept across the five long-distance flying boats and disposed of the bodies of the monks. Then he put away the 'White Emperor Light Cloud Boat' and entered the leading long-distance flying boat.
This time, he couldn't put the flying boat for the long voyage into the soul crystal ring.
He observed five long-distance flying boats. These long-distance flying boats were equipped with space formations inside. The internal space was extremely large. The internal warehouse of a long-distance flying boat was almost the same size as a soul crystal ring.
The five long-distance flying boats are filled with a huge amount of resources. It can be imagined that the resources transported by the long-distance flying boats that require two great monks to escort will not be poor.
Zhongzhou Continent is the center of the world of immortal cultivation. All resources collected from various continents will be transported to Zhongzhou Continent. Zhongzhou Continent has a huge demand for various resources.
In the warehouse of the long-distance flying boat, he found not only the cultivation resources for cultivators of various realms and the materials for making magic weapons, but also the entire trunks of spiritual trees and huge spiritual jades and rocks that occupied the most space.
The trunks of spiritual trees, spiritual jade and spiritual rocks are all building materials. Buildings like flying boats and monks all require these materials to construct.
The materials here can be calculated in huge quantities. Although the value of each kind of goods is not that large, the added value is so great that even Li Shiming does not want to give up.
He shook his head and released his spiritual consciousness, dividing forty brains into forty brains to control the forty spiritual consciousnesses, controlling the long-distance flying boat caravan to change direction and head towards the Dongqi Continent.
He had already made up his mind to deal with this batch of goods after arriving in Dongqi Continent.
The speed of the long-distance flying boat could not compare to the top-grade fourth-grade 'White Emperor Light Cloud Boat'. Even if it was controlled by a great cultivator like him and driven by his own spiritual power, it only increased the speed of the long-distance flying boat slightly.
This journey, which originally took more than twenty days, doubled and now required more than forty days to reach the Dongqi Continent.
This is because he is a powerful monk. If a weaker monk were to control and drive it, it would probably take more than two months to reach the Dongqi Continent.
He thought about it and released Master Luo Pei. Although Master Luo Pei's strength was very weak, he was a master after all.
The presence of two great monks in the long-distance caravan will reduce a lot of trouble for the caravan.
Great Monk Luo Pei was naturally controlled by the Heavenly Ghost. When Li Shiming summoned Great Monk Luo Pei, he found that the Heavenly Ghost's aura was a little unstable.
It seems that due to the improvement of the realm of its master Li Shiming, the realm restrictions of the Heavenly Ghost have disappeared, and it has the possibility of impacting the late fourth level.
However, Li Shiming did not want to let Tiangui be promoted at this time. Tiangui's promotion required finding a more suitable environment.
Not only Tiangui, Xiaofeng and Huanlinglong also need to find opportunities to be promoted. There are also the corpse refining that they have been preparing before. These are the key to improving their own strength.
The Heavenly Ghost had long been able to control Great Monk Luo Pei with great ease, and because of Li Shiming's promotion to Great Monk, not only did the restrictions on the Heavenly Ghost's realm disappear, but even Great Monk Luo Pei's cultivation no longer needed to be suppressed.
Before, he was worried that Master Luo Pei’s cultivation was too high, while Li Shiming was only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm at that time. After Master Luo Pei’s cultivation level increased, there would be a backlash.
Therefore, the cultivation of Great Monk Luo Pei has always been in the weakest state. If it were not for the magical Black Water Sword, Great Monk Luo Pei would probably be the weakest great monk in the great monk realm.
Even after several decades, Master Luo Pei's cultivation had not improved at all due to the deliberate suppression of the Heavenly Ghost.
