Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1703 - 898: The Great Battle

"Be careful, Li Yuanba still has a Mountain Peak Treasure that he hasn’t used!" Master Cui cautioned.

Regrettably, in that prior clash, he hadn’t confronted ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ head-on. Li Yuanba had been battling beside multiple other Great Cultivators, as he remained entangled in his own fierce fight. He had only glimpsed Li Yuanba deploying ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ to eliminate several Great Cultivators, without grasping the finer points of ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’.

Still, considering how it slain several Great Cultivators in a flash, its might had to be tremendous.

Even though those Great Cultivators weren’t at the Peak Great Cultivator Realm, they stood very near it, only to perish beneath ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’.

"Everyone, please don’t keep any techniques hidden, otherwise we might end up failing here!" Great Cultivator Yu declared gravely.

During the previous encounter, he had escaped prematurely, and to this day, Great Cultivator Lin harbors bitterness toward him, offering no warmth in their current reunion.

The remaining two Peak Great Cultivators shared a look, their gazes revealing clear contempt.

They knew of Li Yuanba’s legendary fight and figured Master Cui along with Great Cultivator Yu were overly frightened, especially since they now outnumbered him four to one.

Li Yuanba’s prowess was recognized, yet from the ongoing skirmish, it seemed he depended solely on his swiftness. They were convinced a single solid hit from them would cripple him on the spot.

Furthermore, should Li Yuanba strike them, they could endure it, highlighting the disparity in their cultivation levels.

The confrontation between Li Yuanba and the four Peak Great Cultivators grew fiercer, forcing him to evade their savage assaults at maximum velocity.

Meanwhile, his own strikes got jointly deflected by the quartet of Peak Great Cultivators.

Gradually, even the pair of Peak Great Cultivators who had dismissed him at first started proceeding with greater wariness.

Each onslaught from Li Yuanba demanded they activate protective treasures, since unlike him, they lacked the velocity to evade the Xingyi Sword’s strikes.

The Xingyi Sword moves with such blinding speed that defenses must be readied beforehand.

Yet the problem lies in how every clash from the Xingyi Sword inflicts damage on the employed defensive treasure.

Infused with ’Chaos Sword Intent’, and bolstered by Li Yuanba’s advancement to Great Cultivator, the Xingyi Sword bears the Sword Intent Rule, letting the Sword Intent seep past defenses and assail their cores.

Every assault carrying ’Chaos Sword Intent’ erodes the spirit imprint housed within the treasure.

Without the Peak Great Cultivator’s Spiritual Power Pattern to bolster the treasure, it would suffer harm before anything else.

Naturally, this stems partly from Li Yuanba not fully tapping into the Xingyi Sword’s potential, holding it at the pinnacle of fourth grade.

He wouldn’t expose the authentic essence of the Xingyi Sword Spiritual Treasure unless he could guarantee capturing every cultivator here alive, with no witnesses surviving nearby.

Numerous cultivators linger around Changshui Island, some spying from distant spots.

But with the fight raging at Peak Great Cultivator intensity, those onlookers keep their distance, wary of sparking any conflicts.

Great Cultivator Lin, meanwhile, appears overlooked by both factions right now.

Once a Peak Great Cultivator, Great Cultivator Lin now lingers at Early Stage Great Cultivator, falling short against true Peak Great Cultivators’ might.

Nevertheless, his position holds weight, thanks to patronage from a mighty entity and past ties, granting him a share in this rewarding mission.

Off to the side, Great Cultivator Lin fixed his gaze on Li Yuanba’s form. If glares could wound, Li Yuanba would be covered in gashes.

Confronting four Peak Great Cultivators left no room for Li Yuanba to divide his focus; Great Cultivator Lin’s hostile stare irritated him greatly. He planned to handle Great Cultivator Lin immediately after overcoming the other four.

Regarding the formidable backer of Great Cultivator Lin, should the duel prove fair and he slays Great Cultivator Lin, that figure ought not to meddle.

"Slash!"

"Slash!"

Li Yuanba unleashed a barrage of strikes, upholding a distinctive rhythm in combat via the Xingyi Sword, relentlessly targeting the protective treasures of the four Peak Great Cultivators.

Staying in constant swift movement, this fighting approach made his agility sharpen further through motion.

’Divine Sight’ granted him a crystal-clear view of the battlefield, as ’Telepathy’ sharpened his awareness of incoming threats.

Although ’Telepathy’ couldn’t probe the thoughts of the four Peak Great Cultivators, he detected their intense killing intent via their spells and artifacts.

At last, the defensive treasure of one among the four Peak Great Cultivators gave out, its inner spirit imprint utterly shattered, plummeting from above.

It appeared to unleash a chain reaction; the four Peak Great Cultivators kept cycling their defensive treasures nonstop to fend off the strikes, making every defensive treasure absorb the force of the Xingyi Sword equally.

As a result, all of them ended up in comparable conditions, their spirit imprints teetering right on the edge of total collapse.

Li Yuanba pressed on with his merciless assaults, the initial defensive treasure slipping from control sparking the chain of further failures.
