Chapter 190: Sword Spirits Last Gift (1/2)
Under the circumstances of activating the Overlord Body Art with all his might, Jiang Li's body strength mixed with spiritual qi covered the surface of his body. The defensive effect against physical and spiritual qi attacks was extremely powerful.
In theory, as long as the attack landed on his body did not surpass the combined strength of Jiang Li's own strength and spiritual qi, it would be impossible to break through his Overlord Body Art.
Apart from being unable to attack when defending, the only flaw of this body cultivation method was that it consumed too much strength and spiritual qi.
However, to Jiang Li, the word exhaustion had not appeared in his dictionary for a long time.
Countless sword lights continuously landed on his body, taking away several times the total spiritual qi reserve of an ordinary Qi Refinement realm cultivator.
Jiang Li's stamina and spiritual qi had always been maintained at the maximum value and had never dropped at all.
The sword lights that struck his body could only transform into nutrients for the Sword Heart and the experience of the Overlord Body Art.
However, nothing was absolute in this world.
Among the thousands of Shu Mountain ancestors, the weakest were at the Qi Refinement or Foundation Establishment realm, while the strongest were at the Core Formation or Nascent Soul realm. There were even stronger big shots.
The will they left on the flying sword naturally had a huge difference.
As the sword cries became more and more intense, a few relatively larger sword lights gradually gathered in the sky above the Sword Burial Ground.
These sword lights condensed from the cave's sword aura were actually quite ordinary in terms of pure energy calculation. They were only at the level of the Foundation Establishment realm.
However, the problem was the wills of those powerful sword cultivators. These wills could basically be considered incomplete Sword Hearts.
The Sword Hearts could ignore or greatly weaken one's defense. Even the Overlord Body Art was helplessly countered by it!
A metallic sword light silently attacked from behind and directly struck Jiang Li's back.
The disciple uniform made of the Nine Nether Wood roots was directly cut and exposed his skin, and a slight trace of blood appeared on the skin on Jiang Li's back.
This strike was already more powerful than Chang Wanzhou's strongest strike.
Jiang Li touched his back and could not help but sigh.
These Shu Mountain sword cultivators who could ignore defense were all unstoppable.
How terrifying!
At this moment, outside the Heart Questioning Sword Cave.
A few sword lights streaked across the sky and landed at the entrance of the cave.
It was a few Shu Mountain elders who had heard the news.
However, they still looked a little travel-worn, as if they had just returned to the mountain after flying on their swords for a long time.
One of them was the Metal Sword Peak's Peak Master, Wei Wangxuan.
”Greetings, Peak Master, greetings, Elders.”
”Master, elders, you're back. Where are the two Uncle-Masters?”
The cave guard disciple was usually a nobody and was very nervous when facing the higher-ups of the sect.
On the other hand, genius disciples like Chang Wanzhou who were valued were much more at ease and neither servile nor overbearing.
However, he did not speak about Jiang Li immediately. Instead, he asked about the two Uncle-Masters.
The Uncle-Masters he mentioned were naturally Zuo Mo and Zuo Luo, the two Golden Core cultivators.
Why else would it be said that the cultivators of Shu Mountain were very close?
When Elder Duan Shuang betrayed the sect back then, he was decisively labeled a traitor. Then, the Golden Core elders on the warship chased after him through the night, causing the other party to be heavily injured and shot down before he could even escape a thousand miles away.
One had to know that at that time, Duan Shuang had not even massacred the city and had already received such treatment.
Looking at Shu Mountain, the two Golden Cores surnamed Zuo had already massacred the city. The news had already spread throughout the entire cultivation world. The fact that they had fallen to become demonic cultivators was irrefutable.
However, even so, Shu Mountain was still willing to risk universal condemnation and not announce to the outside world that they would expel the two elders from the sect.
They still refused to believe this fact.
After the competition ended, Peak Master Wei led the group to set off. However, his goal was not to deal with the traitors, but to find the people and clear things up.
”The two of them… ran to the vicinity of Nightless City and attacked a few sect's merchant ships. We've seen the traces. It's indeed their sword technique.”
Peak Master Wei and the few elders had ugly expressions. They had run to the Southern Seal Kingdom and practically checked every sword scar in the city, hoping to find any suspicious traces.
However, the truth disappointed them.
In the ruins, they found more than 2,000 huge sword scars. These sword scars came from more than 20 types of Shu Mountain Sword Techniques.
However, no matter how picky they were, they could only tell that Elder Zuo Mo and Elder Zuo Luo's sword techniques were exquisite. As for the suspicious points, there was really nothing.
After that, they used special methods to find all the clues and finally chased them to the Nightless City. However, they learned that two Golden Core sword cultivators had brazenly attacked the Nightless City caravan.
As the peak master of the Metal Mountain Peak, Elder Wei was their boss. It would be strange if he was in a good mood.
The few elders who were with him explained a little. Chang Wanzhou still wanted to ask more, but Elder Wei waved his hand and stopped them.
He still had to report the situation to the Shu Mountain Sword Head later. He did not know how to speak, and now he did not want to mention this matter at all.
”You're saying that the Scripture Storage Valley's Jiang Li is in this cave?”
Peak Master Wei and a few elders stood at the entrance of the cave. From time to time, a Five-Colored Sword Tide would fly towards them.
However, before the sharp sword lights could approach them, they dissipated in the air and disappeared without a trace.
Obviously, this Sword Heart talent was not as simple as Jiang Li had imagined. There were even more profundities waiting for him to discover in the depths of his cultivation.
”He has just awakened his Sword Heart and can already stimulate the Heart Questioning Sword Cave to such an extent. A mere Qi Refinement realm cultivator can withstand the Five-Colored Sword Tide… This Jiang Li's future is limitless.”
”It's a pity that such a good talent in the Sword Heart is destined to be wasted.”
Jiang Li was a body cultivator and was also Elder He's disciple. Wei Wangxuan was a cultivator from the same era as Elder He, and the two of them had interacted quite a bit.
When he thought about how such an unpolished jade was picked up by that brute, he could not help but feel pain.
This was especially true in the final round of the competition, where Jiang Li fought Monk Le Yuan. It was even more absurd.
From the beginning to the end, he had suppressed the other party who had cultivated the Palm Meditation Technique. In the end, he did not even suffer any injuries. That was simply not something an ordinary person could do.
”Peak Master, what should we do next? Should we get him out? If anything happens to Jiang Li here, it'll probably be difficult to explain things to the Scripture Storage Valley.”
Due to the influence of Elder Zuo Mo and Elder Zuo Luo, there was a lot of controversy regarding the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak in the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region.
If the outstanding disciples of the Scripture Storage Valley died prematurely in the territory of Shu Mountain, it would be hard to explain.
”It's fine. Don't underestimate this Qi Refinement winner. However, to be safe, I'll go in and take a look first.”
After all, Jiang Li was invited to Shu Mountain by him. He could not not just ignore the person.
Wei Wangxuan let the others disperse while he slowly walked into the cave. The sword lights that were fluttering in the cave automatically moved aside in front of him, and he entered all the way without even the corners of his clothes being injured.
In the cave, Jiang Li was still happily grinding.
Even though these sword lights had inherited the sharpness of the Shu Mountain sword cultivators, most of them were unable to break through Jiang Li's defense.
Only a few sword lights were enough to scrape his dead skin under the enhancement of the deceased sword cultivator's will.
However, because his recovery ability was also abnormally powerful, if one did not have perfect vision, he would generally not be able to see the scars.
He was taking advantage of the situation here, but he did not forget to taunt the empty cave.
”No way, no way, no way! This is all you can do? Do you dare to be more violent?”
Cultivating the Overlord Body Art required one to be beaten up to feel the dispersion of power. The weak sword lights really made him unable to control himself.
