Chapter 1134: Chapter 613: Mission 2
This caused many cultivators who considered themselves strong to rob the relatively weaker side on the ocean.
Just by silencing the robbed side, they could make the incidents remain unknown.
Unfortunately, this time, Cangqiong Trading Company miscalculated. Their Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner, when attacking two Early-stage Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators, was briefly held off by one of the Early-stage Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators sacrificing his life, giving the other time to flee using Nascent Soul escape techniques.
The escaping Early-stage Nascent Soul Sword Cultivatorâs Nascent Soul was lucky to return to Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, allowing them to learn about this incident.
Li Yuanba had been in closed-door cultivation before and was unaware of this matter.
Listening to Yun Xiao and Yan Ganâs recount, Li Yuanba also shared the same enemy, as a member of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, he had long been branded with its mark.
Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion was his home, and he was naturally willing to contribute to it.
âOur team is already struggling to deal with one Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner, if two showed up, it would be very troublesome!â Li Yuanba said as he looked at the task information.
The task information was not complete, it was apparent that this mission was a bit rushed, and intelligence was not thoroughly gathered.
It makes sense, collecting intelligence on ten long-distance flying boats of Cangqiong Trading Company simultaneously and launching an attack on them in the same timeframe required massive intelligence resources.
But it had to be done this way, once Cangqiong Trading Company discovered Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilionâs intentions, they would certainly prepare countermeasures, making it hard to strike Cangqiong Trading Company effectively afterward.
âIf there are two Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners, Yuanba will have to give his all!â Yun Xiao said with a smile at Li Yuanba.
His confidence in Li Yuanba surpassed even Yuan Ba himself.
That was Great Cultivator Level âVoid-breaking Sword Intentâ, with five strands, if used well, it wouldnât be difficult to kill Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners.
Of course, there was a significant risk in that, although Great Cultivator Level âVoid-breaking Sword Intentâ is indeed a lethal weapon, the problem was that Li Yuanba was just an Early-stage Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator and could not withstand even a single strike from a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner.
Thus, prior planning was needed to avoid this situation.
At this time, the other Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators arrived.
âThe task has been shared with everyone, this task is a bit dangerous and the journey is long, but it must be completed!â Yun Xiao said to his team members solemnly.
He took out a flying boat, and all the team members entered inside.
The flying boat departed from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilionâs range and flew over the ocean.
Inside the flying boat, the Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators were all fired up; Cangqiong Trading Companyâs attack on flying boats that transported sword cultivator seeds was intolerable.
âEveryone, the Pavilion has issued ten ambush missions this time, and itâs said that Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivators from the Pavilion also have assassination missions, with two Great Cultivators taking action as well, we mustnât be disgraced, if the ambush targets survive, the Pavilionâs arrangements will have flaws!â Yun Xiao said.
Li Yuanba was secretly shocked, Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion had no intention of giving Cangqiong Trading Company any chance, planning to utterly destroy them at once.
It seemed that the assault on the long-distance flying boats was just a minor appetizer; the main course was on the Great Cultivatorâs side.
âWe definitely wonât be disgraced!â Du Lei responded loudly.
Sword Intent surged from within him, had it not been for the cabin of the flying boat, his Sword Intent might have soared dozens of meters with his anger.
âThis time we are dealing with Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners, I havenât applied for reinforcements from the Pavilion, I have faith in everyoneâs capabilities!â Yun Xiao continued.
âWeâve killed Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners before, Cangqiong Trading Companyâs Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners are mostly incompetent, lacking real combat power!â Du Lei said with a nonchalant smile.
Du Lei wasnât just saying things, guarding long-distance flying boats wasnât a good task, true ambitious practitioners wouldnât choose such roles.
Guarding a long-distance flying boat meant spending years on end aboard it, with little leisure time for cultivation, always wary of possible attacks.
Thus, practitioners on these duties had very little cultivation time, and the rewards werenât high, making it hard to obtain enough cultivation resources.
For someone like Cangqiong Trading Companyâs Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners, who have profit-sharing rights, itâs barely enough to sustain their cultivation needs.
Genuinely powerful Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners wouldnât choose to guard flying boats, greater strength provides more opportunities for resource acquisition.
Li Yuanba finally understood why a team of Early-stage Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators dared to ambush flying boats guarded by Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners.
It turned out the team had battled Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners before, and Du Leiâs attitude indicated theyâve previously killed them.
Li Yuanba smiled, earlier when he listened to Yun Xiao, he really thought Yun Xiao planned to rely solely on his âTen Thousand Sword Peakâ.
After more than ten days of travel, the flying boat finally arrived at the mission location, situated in the ocean between Central State Continent and West Yan Continent.
Yun Xiao retrieved an Array Plate, and upon tossing it out, it transformed into a concealing Formation.
The team entered the Formation, waiting for Cangqiong Trading Companyâs long-distance flying boats to arrive.
Team members chatted and laughed, not showing any nervousness about fighting Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners.
âItâs about time, prepare for battle!â Only when Yun Xiao gave the order did the team members cease smiling and enter combat readiness.
All Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators activated their Nascent Soul Dharma Forms, channeling their Sword Intent into their Lifebound Flying Swords, employing secret techniques to amass energy, awaiting the right moment for a lethal strike.
Li Yuanba did not use the Fourth Grade Xingyi Sword, being aware of his situation.
If it truly came to a battle, relying on the Fourth Grade Xingyi Sword wouldnât easily break through a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitionerâs defenses.
His Fourth Grade Xingyi Sword, though of Fourth Grade Top Quality, was still a half-complete product, not reaching peak power.
Critically, his strongest strike wasnât the Fourth Grade Xingyi Sword but mobilizing the myriad flying swords of the âTen Thousand Sword Peakâ.
âLetâs stick to the previous battle methods, Iâll launch a group attack first, then everyone can focus on clearing targets!â Li Yuanba said without reservation.
This was one of the teamâs various battle strategies, designed for Li Yuanbaâs combat style.
âNo problem, but you must unleash your full power, avoid attacking in waves like before; donât allow Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners too much reaction time!â Yun Xiao agreed, nodding.
Li Yuanba took out the âTen Thousand Sword Peakâ that had passed the Fourth-grade Artifact Tribulation, and when he held it, the other Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators glanced at the âTen Thousand Sword Peakâ.
The âTen Thousand Sword Peakâ passing the Fourth-grade Artifact Tribulation wasnât a secret in Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, many sword cultivators witnessed the scene.
Though sword cultivators focus on their Lifebound Flying Sword, a scalable treasure like âTen Thousand Sword Peakâ, a Fourth-grade Artifact Tribulation Treasure, also tempted even those dedicated to their Lifebound Flying Sword.
Li Yuanba lightly pointed his finger, and within the âTen Thousand Sword Peakâ, shadows of countless flying swords could faintly be seen.
These swords were poised to strike, as he amassed energy within the Ten Thousand Sword Peak; this was also in preparation to unleash an impactful attack.
For this operation, among nearly two thousand flying swords of various grades, he deployed five Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Weapon Tribulation Flying Swords, each leading a group of twenty Fourth-grade Flying Swords infused with Nascent Soul Sword Intent.
Even the nearly two thousand flying swords of various grades, nourished for so long, bore a trace of Nascent Soul Level Sword Intent, granting them extraordinarily formidable might.
