Chapter 328: 151: Sword Cultivator Duel, Who Killed My Grandson!_1
“Dreams of dust, I cannot awaken alone; atop the Qingyun platform, my true self is shown.”
“Yin and yang, five elements, all are clear, forming a jade platform to establish the Dao Foundation.”
“I walk the Great Dao alone, not of my own will; free in the mortal world, prosperity spans myriad ages.”
“Humans are not heartless like grass and trees; I cut down the mortal body, not the heart.”
Lu Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back, atop the Iron Feather Eagle, his blue robe flapping in the wind, reciting the settling poem he had composed to himself.
“Hmm?”
After flying for several hundred miles, Lu Changsheng suddenly sensed a fierce aura behind him, rushing towards him like lightning.
Confronted with this ferocious aura, Lu Changsheng’s face darkened slightly, his mind alert.
After all, having been in the Cultivation World for so many years, he was quite experienced.
Having just left the marketplace and encountering this, he couldn’t help but be cautious.
With past experience to guide him, Lu Changsheng immediately stood in the air on his flying artifact, and he retracted the Iron Feather Eagle, a mere means of transportation, into his Spiritual Pet Bag.
The next moment, Lu Changsheng saw a golden escape light, fast like a shooting star, tearing through the air as it charged ferociously toward him.
“Is it him?”
As the escape light drew near, Lu Changsheng immediately recognized a young man about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, dressed in a golden robe, riding a flying shuttle.
It was the same young man he had seen in the Qingyun Market when Xiao Xiyue had emerged from the cave dwelling with him—Meng Yibai.
Lu Changsheng had guessed then that the other might hold pursuit intentions towards Xiao Xiyue and, upon seeing the close interaction between him and Xiao Xiyue, may harbor jealousy or something of the sort.
He had changed his appearance for this very reason.
Yet, despite his many disguises and altered appearances, this man had fixed his sights on him and was coming directly to assassinate him.
“Swoosh!”
Meng Yibai approached Lu Changsheng with a chilling expression, not uttering a word.
A dazzling golden sword rainbow slashed towards Lu Changsheng, sharp and swift.
“Pfft!”
Lu Changsheng, well-prepared, raised his right hand leisurely; the Seven Luminaries Sword light surged forth, cleaving the air and shattering the golden sword rainbow.
“Who are you, and why do you attack me out of the blue?”
Lu Changsheng called out, looking at Meng Yibai before him.
If it were an ordinary robber cultivator, he naturally wouldn’t waste words with them.
But having chatted with Xiao Xiyue, he knew the young man was not only a disciple of Qingyun Sect but also had an elder who was a False Core Immortal.
If possible, Lu Changsheng really didn’t want to make an enemy of him.
After all, to kill someone like that would likely invite trouble.
Moreover, Lu Changsheng also wanted to know how the other could see through his disguises and lock onto his trail.
“Indeed, you have some skill. Just established your Foundation, and you can break my Sword Qi.”
“As for why I attack you, I think you are well aware of the reason in your heart.”
Meng Yibai sneered.
He stood tall on the flying shuttle, like a pike piercing the heavens, proud and sharp.
“I truly don’t know where I have offended you?”
Lu Changsheng put on an expression of a wry smile.
“Since you don’t know, then take your doubts with you to the grave!”
Meng Yibai did not speak further, coldly shouted, formed a spell with his hands, his aura became fierce, causing a sound of golden resonance in the void.
A splendid gold Flying Sword appeared.
Countless golden runes flowed along the sword body, and with Sword Qi that crisscrossed, it launched a sharp attack on Lu Changsheng.
“Sigh, it seems there’s no room for talk.”
Lu Changsheng, seeing the approaching golden Flying Sword, his expression solemnly changed, and stopped talking.
Knowing this man’s domineering and arrogant nature and the jealousy and murderous intent he held, he was simply unwilling to talk further.
“Since that’s the case, let’s see whose Flying Sword is sharper!”
Lu Changsheng said coldly.
He wasn’t to be messed with.
And having just completed his Foundation Establishment, he was also eager to test his own abilities.
He smacked his Storage Bag and a blood-colored pair of scissors appeared; with a surge of mana, they transformed into a blood-colored Flood Dragon, roaring ferociously at the golden Flying Sword.
Meanwhile, a pale white Flying Sword appeared in front of him.
“Sword Shadow Dividing Light Technique!”
Lu Changsheng formed a spell with two hands, and rainbow lights were infused into the Flying Sword.
The pale white Flying Sword trembled fiercely, and seven colors of treasured light flowed as it created two identical Flying Swords.
The next moment, another two identical Flying Swords appeared.
In total, eight Flying Swords formed before Lu Changsheng.
The Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture’s Second Level not only has the Divine Skill, the Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp, which can create a life-bound Spiritual Artifact,
it also has two spell Divine Skills.
The first spell is known as the Sword Shadow Dividing Light Technique.
When facing an enemy, this technique can create up to eight sword shadows identical to the actual Flying Sword.
The sword shadows can not only confound the enemy’s sight, but each also possesses thirty percent of the original’s power.
The second spell is named the Shimmering Shadow Condensation Sword Technique!
After deploying the Sword Shadow Dividing Light Technique and creating several sword shadows, all shadows can be converged into the Flying Sword for the strongest slash.
An average beginner who practices the Sword Shadow Dividing Light Technique can at most create one or two sword shadows.
But Lu Changsheng is thoroughly familiar with the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture, requiring no time-consuming practice.
Additionally, possessing the Profound Origin Bead, creating many sword shadows without worrying about excessive mana consumption is of no concern.
“Hmm? You’re a Sword Cultivator too!”
Meng Yibai, upon seeing Lu Changsheng’s completely formidable presence, as if he had transformed into a different person, using the technique of division and shadow, expressed surprise.
Cultivators can roughly be divided into the Scholarly Cultivator Faction and the Martial Cultivator Faction.
The Scholarly Cultivator Faction primarily obtains cultivation resources through production and trade.
The Martial Cultivator Faction primarily obtains cultivation resources through battle and plunder.
Sword Cultivators are a classic example within the Martial Cultivator Faction.
They are known for their straightforwardness, characteristically having formidable combat abilities and sharp techniques in battle.
This was why, seeing Lu Changsheng with Xiao Xiyue, he felt displeasure in his heart; harboring a grudge, his thoughts troubled, he decided to directly take Lu Changsheng’s life.
