Chapter 329: 151: Sword Cultivator Duel, Who Killed My Grandson!_2
“Since that’s the case, let me show you the true capabilities of a Sword Cultivator!”
Meng Yibai’s hands formed seals, and the golden Flying Sword suddenly let out a clear hum, emitting streaks of Sword Qi.
The Sword Qi swept through like a storm, causing the blood-red Flood Dragon to wail and its body to dim.
“Go!”
Lu Changsheng’s expression remained unchanged as the nine Flying Swords in front of him shot out simultaneously.
Three headed towards the golden Flying Sword, and six towards Meng Yibai.
“Hm!?”
Meng Yibai watched the approaching Flying Swords with a slight frown.
He found it difficult to distinguish the real from the illusionary among the Flying Swords sent by Lu Changsheng.
His expression did not change, and he showed no panic. His eyebrows raised like swords, and with a slap to his Dantian, he spat out a gleaming Sword Bead.
This Sword Bead was round and glinted like a Golden Core, rotating around him and forming a net of Sword Qi.
The Sword Bead, round in form yet embodying the intent of the sword, combined hardness with softness.
Sharp enough to cut through metal like mud, and soft enough to coil around one’s finger, its power far surpassed that of other Flying Swords of the same level.
Furthermore, this Sword Bead was his Life-bound Spiritual Artifact, possessing terrifying power.
“Clang clang clang—”
The six illusionary Flying Swords clashed against the net of the Sword Bead, sparking and ringing like metal striking against metal.
Indeed, the Sword Bead was extraordinary, preventing Lu Changsheng’s illusionary Flying Swords from breaking through its defense and even nicking the blades.
“I have only recently reached Foundation Establishment and my resources are insufficient, many techniques have not caught up.”
“To avoid any accidents, I must conclude this battle quickly!”
After a brief exchange, Lu Changsheng had a rough estimate of Meng Yibai’s strength.
His Cultivation Level appeared to be in the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.
However, with the Profound Origin Bead by his side, his Mana was not weaker than that of a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
In fact, in terms of the amount of Mana, he was even slightly superior.
In a battle of equals, he naturally did not fear his opponent.
But since the opponent was a disciple of the Immortal Sects and had a False Core Immortal as a senior, it was certain he had many tricks and means of preservation, so a swift victory was best.
“Your so-called Sword Cultivator abilities are just this. Taste my sword!”
“Shimmering Shadow Condensation Sword Technique!”
Lu Changsheng formed seals with his hands, and the Mana in his body surged like a river, with the Mana within his Dantian’s Profound Origin Bead rapidly circulating.
This caused the eight illusionary Flying Swords to tremble violently and shine brilliantly.
Subsequently, they transformed into streaks of seven-colored rainbow light, merging into the pristine white Flying Sword, which expanded greatly, transforming into a giant sword over three meters long.
“Slash!”
Lu Changsheng pointed like a sword and commanded the Flying Sword to cut down.
The giant sword rose, with seven colors of divine light swirling around it, and an endless surge of fierce and chilling Sword Qi seemed ready to extinguish all vitality as it slashed towards Meng Yibai with astounding momentum.
“Clang clang clang—”
Under the terrifying onslaught of the Seven-Colored Giant Sword, the golden Flying Sword let out a distressed cry as though it couldn’t bear the pressure.
“How is this possible?”
“How can you, a Cultivator who has just broken through to the Foundation Establishment, have the ability to use such techniques, to have such power!”
Meng Yibai looked at the Seven-Colored Giant Sword, his eyelid twitching uncontrollably as shock took over his expression.
As a Sword Cultivator, he was already considered unbeaten among his peers.
Thus, he had not regarded Lu Changsheng, who had only just broken through Foundation Establishment, as a threat.
Earlier, Lu Changsheng’s Shimmering Shadow technique had merely made him acknowledge that Lu was an impressive talent, no wonder he had caught the eye of a prodigy like Xiao Xiyue.
But now this technique was beyond what mere talent could account for.
Or rather, this was definitely not a technique that a Cultivator who had just broken through Foundation Establishment should have!
Lu Changsheng’s expression was indifferent, and he didn’t reply, intent on slaying Meng Yibai with one sword.
“This youth has such astonishing methods; he must have obtained an unparalleled Sword Cultivation inheritance!”
“Even if it costs me, it will be worth it to slay him!”
Meng Yibai’s body burst with Sword Qi, and he took out a large tortoise shell to block the attack from the giant sword.
The golden Sword Bead, after forming a heaven-covering Sword Qi net, suddenly burst forth in a flourish of sharp light, tearing through the air as it aimed for Lu Changsheng.
Simultaneously, a Blue Talisman appeared in his hand, glowing and pulsing with energy.
“Talisman Treasure!”
Lu Changsheng immediately noticed Meng Yibai’s action.
He recognized the Blue Talisman in his hand as a Talisman Treasure.
“Indeed, befitting a disciple of the Immortal Sects, Talisman Treasures seem to be standard issue.”
Previously Xiao Xiyue had a Talisman Treasure by her side, and now so did this person!
“Go!”
Lu Changsheng did not bring out his Talisman Treasure, the Golden Light Brick, to counterattack.
His Golden Light Brick Magical Treasure had limited remaining power and was not suitable for prolonged use.
He slapped his Storage Bag and released a top-grade shield Magic Artifact and his Second Rank Puppet to block the Sword Bead.
Next, he channeled a continuous flow of Mana into the Seven-Colored Giant Sword, pushing its power to the extreme, making it overwhelmingly powerful.
“Crack!”
In that moment, the Tortoise Shell Magic Artifact immediately showed a crack.
“Not good!”
Meng Yibai did not expect Lu Changsheng’s assault to be so aggressive.
His own Tortoise Shell was a low-grade Spiritual Artifact.
Yet, it seemed so fragile against the onslaught of the giant sword.
Seeing Lu Changsheng also had a Second Rank Puppet, he had no choice but to call his Sword Bead back to defend.
Sword Qi burst forth, forming a spiraling net of Sword Qi in the sky, continuing to block the onslaught of the Seven-Colored Giant Sword as he sought time to activate his Talisman Treasure.
Within a few breaths, Meng Yibai activated the Blue Talisman Treasure.
With a clear sound, the Talisman Treasure transformed into a small, water-like flowing Blue Jade Ruler.
The Jade Ruler radiated a dazzling light in the air.
Just like Lu Changsheng’s previous pristine white Flying Sword, it split in two, then four, and then eight… creating more and more Jade Rulers.
In no time, Meng Yibai’s front was covered with a multitude of Blue Jade Rulers, totaling over a hundred.
These Jade Rulers were neatly arranged, forming a barrier in front of the Seven-Colored Giant Sword.
“Go!”
Meng Yibai formed seals with his hands, directing the Sword Bead, which was still clashing with the Giant Sword, to transform into a golden ray of light and strike towards Lu Changsheng.
