Chapter 334: Earth Board Rank 1 (2/2)
The person who ambushed Mo Wuji was a slender youth with beautiful features. This youth hung a long blade on his back and because the blade wasn’t in his hands, it appeared as though he wasn’t the one who acted against Mo Wuji.
What made Mo Wuji suspicious was that after the tens of cultivators saw this man, they were no longer interested in chasing after the Heaven Calamity Stone. In fact, they went subconsciously retreated far away before coming to a halt themselves.
At this moment, yet another shadow flew by. This person was clearly using a Wind Escape Talisman and his speed was not any slower than Mo Wuji’s Wind Escape Technique.
Mo Wuji knew that this was yet another Nihility God Stage Level 9 expert just by looking at his aura.
At the moment Mo Wuji was ready to block against this incoming Nihility God Stage cultivator, yet another blade radiance was shot out.
A stream of blood splattered out and very soon, two cultivators that were initially rushing towards the Heaven Calamity Stone finally stopped as they were turned into corpses.
Mo Wuji knew that it was an attack from the slender young man and that this fella should be in the Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage but he couldn’t tell specifically if he was in the Nihility God Stage Level 10. This was because the spirituality around him was not very evident.
At this moment, this fella’s long blade was still on his back and just like before, it didn’t look like he was the one who made the move. Mo Wuji grew suspicious and confirmed that this man would make a decent rival.
This Nihility God Stage cultivator didn’t even glance at Mo Wuji as he said coldly to the tens of incoming advanced stage of the Nihility God Stage cultivators, ”I, Li Xiuran, am using the Heaven Calamity Stone. Wherever you came from, please head back there.”
As he spoke, an intense surge of aura filled the entire place and even Mo Wuji was entangled within it. He was sure that this fella’s aura had even reached the realm of the True God Stage.
Arrogant speech coupled with his insanely arrogant display of aura made the surrounding Nihility God Stage cultivators took many steps back. The numerous cultivators who knew that they no longer had any hope of getting the Heaven Calamity Stone turned and left immediately.
There were still some cultivators who retreated but didn’t leave as they stood and watched the Heaven Calamity Stone from far away. Perhaps they wanted to see how Li Xiuran was going to undergo his heavenly tribulation and could use him as a reference for the future. Yet another group of cultivators came and stopped at the sight of Li Xiuran.
Li Xiuran then turned his head slowly and glared at Mo Wuji, ”On the fact that you could dodge my blade, I will have mercy on your little life, scram.”
”You are the little one, my house’s master only need one strike of his pole to kill you,” Shuai Guo, which was watching from afar, saw Mo Wuji’s pole against Gong Yejian so it started to speak arrogantly like Li Xiuran.
As for the term ‘master’, didn’t this bird learn it from Gong Yejian’s mouth earlier on? It saw that Gong Yejian addressed himself as master so he assumed that Mo Wuji might like this address too. Otherwise, why would that fellow address himself like that?
From this moment on, it not only decided to address Mo Wuji as master, it made his decision to stay with his big master in the future.
The surrounding cultivators were all just preparing to watch Li Xiuran undergo his Heavenly Tribulation on the Heaven Calamity Stone so they were also astonished to see someone actually had the guts to fight against Li Xiuran for the Heaven Calamity Stone.
In actual fact, many years ago, even though a lot of people chased after Mo Wuji, the number of people who had actually seen him was not that many. Furthermore, after cultivating in the Extreme Frost Sea for all these years, Mo Wuji had already grown an extra beard.
Li Xiuran was ranked number one on the Earth Board so his strength would naturally be able to go against a True God Stage expert. One example would be how he killed an expert in the Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage earlier on. Additionally, backing Li Xiuran was an even more formidable source of support. His mentor was someone even the Star Lord of the Star King Mountain had to give some face to.
In other words, it could be said that in this place, nobody ever dared to attack Li Xiuran. Hearing Shuai Guo’s cursing and remarks, Li Xiuran’s face turn ugly as the long blade on his back immediately landed in his hand and shot out a blade radiance.
”Boom!” The blade radiance didn’t split the arrogant Shuai Guo into two but was blocked by a normal, ordinary looking metal pole.
Mo Wuji landed in front of Li Xiuran, and said in a cold tone, ”Your opponent shall be me, do not bully my pet…”
As he spoke, Mo Wuji’s Tian Ji Nirvana Pole Shadows had spread across and covered the entire sky.
After acquiring his Nirvana Pole Shadows, Mo Wuji no longer simply relied on his brute force to use his pole. Every shadow of his Nirvana Pole Shadows was capable enough to restrain the other party and his real killing strike would be the Next Pole which even Mo Wuji had no idea when it would appear.
The fact that Mo Wuji only needed one strike of his pole to break his blade radiance made Li Xiuran shocked and mad. He was shocked that Mo Wuji was actually so strong to be able to destroy his normally sure-kill blade radiance in one strike of his pole. He was mad because he had lost count of the number of years since a cultivator of the same stage dared to go against him.
The instance Li Xiuran mentioned his name already proved his existence as the ranked number 1 on the Earth Board and even a True God Stage expert would need to be polite to him. Presently, Li Xiuran didn’t know where this fella had come from and without mentioning the fact that he dared to snatch the Heaven Calamity Stone, this fella was simply courting death to actually dare to attack him.
Li Xiuran didn’t even bother to ask where Mo Wuji was from as his body shifted and the long blade in his hand was swung head first at Mo Wuji. Others might think that this strike was very simple but this blade brought along a tremendous amount of force that it could potentially split the space into two.
Mo Wuji pulled his gaze back because he knew that no matter how strong Li Xiuran was, he wouldn’t be able to split the space into two here while being at Nihility God Stage. Perhaps, this was because his blade force had already advanced into a type of blade ethereal stage, capable of elusively penetrating the opponent’s mind.
