Chapter 214
To challenge a Nascent Soul Peak expert at the mid-stage, he truly deserves to be a member of the sacred sect. I wonder which sacred sect this person comes from. Once this matter is settled, consider making acquaintances.
From a thousand miles away, the Sect Leader of the Xuantian Academy thought, and witnessing the Nascent Soul Peak expert being sent flying by Li Su’s attack and spitting blood twice had a sparkle in their eyes.
Even his handheld folding fan was forgotten in his hand. Although the sect leader’s aunt had called out Li Su’s name, the Sect Leader of the Xuantian Academy had never heard of Li Su’s name.
“Could he be Li Su from the Northern Territory?”
The Peak Master of the Dieyun and the Sect Master of the Tianluo Sect also had a sparkle in their eyes. They were equally puzzled by the situation.
It was unclear whether this Nascent Soul mid-stage Li Su was the same Li Su whose name had spread to the Central Plains and the Eastern Territory or if he belonged to the sacred sect and just happened to share the same name.
It’s possible that it’s a coincidence, thought the Peak Master of the Dieyun. This was because the news that Li Su had reached the Nascent Soul stage had only spread in the Central Plains a few decades ago. Advancing from Foundation Establishment to Nascent Soul mid-stage in just a few decades seemed highly unlikely. Moreover, this Li Su displayed exceptional strength, challenging and even causing the Nascent Soul Peak expert to spit two mouthfuls of blood with a single strike. Such feats were beyond the capabilities of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.
The Sect Master of the Tianluo Sect thought similarly as his gaze flickered, and both decided to continue observing. At the same time, they refrained from saying anything further to avoid any associations or speculations by the Sect Leader of the Xuantian Academy. If this Li Su turned out to be the same individual they were thinking of, rather than a member of the sacred sect, they didn’t want to add another competitor.
“Very well,” the Nascent Soul Peak expert said in an exceptionally cold tone after completely calming his internal energy.
Although this individual had spat blood after the clash with Li Su, he didn’t consider himself defeated. He believed the previous exchange was due to underestimating Li Su, resulting in a head-on confrontation. It was similar to two martial arts experts directly challenging each other’s inner power.The formidable nature of Li Su’s true energy surprised him, but battles among cultivators were rarely straightforward. Martial techniques, magical treasures, secret arts, or other special items, trump cards, runes, and so on, could all significantly impact the outcome of a battle.
That woman, in her effort to eliminate potential threats and prevent the sect leader, a genius with celestial roots, from growing stronger, provided him with many valuable items. The conditions promised by her also intrigued him.
He had been stuck at the Nascent Soul Peak level for too many years, and even though he still had over a thousand years of life left, his hope for a breakthrough into the Void Refinement stage remained low. However, if he could find and kill the sect leader over a few hundred years, the rewards promised by that woman would significantly increase his chances of achieving the Void Refinement stage. So, on this journey, he was determined to succeed.
“Prepare to die!”
Once the Nascent Soul Peak expert had stabilized his internal injuries, he once again surged with his true energy. In the sky, the dense array of blades transformed into a starlight shower, like a meteor shower, heading straight for Li Su. At the same time, he activated a special talisman.
“Roar!”
A massive tiger with black and white fur, appearing incredibly ferocious, suddenly leaped out and charged towards Li Su.
“This is the White Tiger Ferocious Spirit. He possesses a treasure from the Savage Lands!”
The Sect Master of the Tianluo Sect recognized it. Now, he was paying even closer attention, eager to see how Li Su would deal with the White Tiger Ferocious Spirit.
Facing the Nascent Soul Peak expert, Li Su’s hands moved, and the light emitted by the Green Cloud Mirror rapidly expanded, forming a circular light screen in front of him. As the meteor-like blades came hurtling towards him, they were all completely deflected by the Green Cloud Mirror.
In a battle against two evenly matched cultivators, it was easy to turn into a protracted contest, potentially lasting for months without a clear victor emerging.
“Roar!”
The White Tiger Ferocious Spirit lunged, its incredibly sharp claws swinging fiercely.
“Boom!”
The defensive light screen of the Green Cloud Mirror trembled under this attack, causing significantly greater consumption compared to the onslaught of those blades, more than tenfold in intensity.
For cultivators whose true energy wasn’t sufficiently robust, under such attacks, even if they possessed good defensive magical treasures, they would not be able to hold out for long.
Li Su’s expression remained unchanged as he flicked his finger, and the Flying Immortal Sword shot out instantly. The ferocious White Tiger Spirit, incredibly elegant, managed to dodge many attacks but couldn’t evade all of them and was instantly pierced. Despite being wounded, this creature roared and launched another assault. It was not entirely physical. More accurately, it was both corporeal and ethereal. Even when the Flying Immortal Sword passed through it, the damage it caused was quite limited.
