Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1451 - 772: Solo Kill

Li Yuanba held no fears for the clash involving Grandmaster Lou and Grandmaster Wu. Despite the overwhelming might of that Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Being, the fused power of the two Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators coupled with their flawless teamwork meant the end for this lone Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Being was simply inevitable.

Particularly because he had granted the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill to those two Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators as well, any harm they endured would mend swiftly.

After the two Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators departed from the group, Li Yuanba stopped engaging and shifted his focus entirely to Lou Wu.

Since Great Cultivator Lou had plunged into combat, securing Lou Wu's safety became his top priority.

Even without the two Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators present, the sword cultivator team's fighting capability stayed steady, as they pressed on with wiping out the Hell Creatures swarming the terrain below.

All at once, Wu Qi's figure soared through the sky, blood erupting from his mouth mid-flight, wrapped in a verdant aura—the distinctive restorative shine of the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill.

Suspended in the air, Wu Qi sensed utter despair, questioning why bad luck always singled him out.

In order to defend their individual squads, every core sword cultivator stationed themselves at the team's most exposed and vulnerable points.

Up ahead in the formation stood five Mid-stage Golden Corpses, which the core sword cultivators didn't need to fret over in the slightest.

Shielding the team ranked as a core sword cultivator's key duty, and furthermore, the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill's empowerment on each allowed them to confront wounds without terror.

Although the ’Innate Jianmu Tree Heart’ amplified his personal ’Innate Wood’ divine skill to extraordinary levels, Li Yuanba simply couldn't extend the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill to all hundreds of sword cultivators all at once.

Draining his reserves held no appeal for him, which is why he selected just the core sword cultivators.

High above, Wu Qi triggered the ’Space Acceptance Talisman’ embedded in his Identity Jade Disc, vanishing in an instant right as a savage claw slammed into the exact position he'd vacated moments prior.

"Damn it, how is there a second Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Being!" Li Yuanba growled in frustration.

His words didn't halt his swift responses in the least.

He launched ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ upward, which swiftly encased the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature.

The intensified gravitational pull from the ’Gravity Gold Brick’ crushed down on the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature, hampering its speed and granting the sword cultivator it aimed for precious seconds to evade.

"Fall back!" Li Yuanba commanded loudly.

Across the full sword cultivator team, save for Grandmaster Lou and Grandmaster Wu, Li Yuanba commanded the utmost authority.

No formal announcement made this clear, yet all sword cultivators grasped it instinctively.

The leaders within the core sword cultivators fully recognized how Li Yuanba's superior battle ability, his standing as an Alchemy Master, and his mastery of the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill elevated him to a supreme rank among them.

His confirmed role as the premier Nascent Soul Middle Stage powerhouse especially fueled their deep confidence in him.

In the Cultivation World, unyielding might alone secured the faith of other cultivators, and Li Yuanba's exceptional fighting skills inspired profound awe from the sword cultivators.

As a result, his order prompted the entire sword cultivator team to pull back at once, stranding only him there to squarely confront the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature.

Elsewhere, Grandmaster Lou and Grandmaster Wu detected the sword cultivator team's peril. Separating now proved impossible; a solitary sword cultivator Great Cultivator couldn't dispatch a Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Being with haste.

If the two Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators divided without rapidly ending a Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Being, a brutal struggle would ensue.

Finishing the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Being right before them promptly, then rushing to tackle the next, made far more sense.

Undoubtedly, Li Yuanba's involvement on that front played another part; his fame stemmed from victories over Great Cultivators.

The two Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators harbored no hopes that Li Yuanba would destroy the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature outright, but if he stalled it long enough for them to wrap up their engagement, that would serve perfectly.

"Yuanba, just stall it for a moment!" Great Cultivator Lou called out.

"I've got this!" Li Yuanba shot back.

While unveiling the genuine essence of the spiritual treasure ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ remained forbidden, the energy-converted flying swords it housed required no such secrecy.

"All swords, unleash!" Li Yuanba aimed at ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak,’ his tone resonant and commanding.

A torrent of energy-converted flying swords erupted from ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak,’ and the sword cultivators from Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, acutely perceptive toward flying swords, shivered with unease as the energy-converted flying swords spilled forth from ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak.’

This overwhelming aura of peril suggested that every energy-converted flying sword held the power to claim their lives.

Out of the ten thousand energy-converted flying swords, close to eight thousand acted as mere illusions, their sword intent so faint that they couldn't endanger the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature at all.

Hence, those eight thousand energy-converted flying swords swirled harmlessly on the outskirts, weaving a containment array directed by the ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ Artifact Spirit to keep the two thousand potent energy-converted flying swords, laden with Great Cultivator sword intent, apart from the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature.

This strategy was his own creation, designed to safeguard ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’s’ hidden depths as much as possible.

Thankfully, an Artifact Spirit aided him; without it, operating solo, he lacked the cunning of Li Shiming’s core form and couldn't juggle countless energy-converted flying swords to forge elaborate setups.
