The defense effect of the Thunder Shield Skill is only average, but when cast by a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator, at least it can defend against an attack from a cultivator of the same stage, allowing him to make a timely counterattack.
But he was facing the âelectromagnetic cannonâ, which is powered by the energy core of a Fourth Grade Puppet, a fusion of puppet mechanism techniques and technology.
Not to mention that the Fourth Grade Cone-shaped Magical Treasure alone is already very powerful, and with the terrifying impact of the âelectromagnetic cannonâ, even the defense techniques of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator cannot withstand it.
Li Shiming was well-prepared. To prevent the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator from having any special means, he fired four Fourth Grade Top Cone-shaped Magical Treasures in one go.
Moreover, the Fourth Grade Top Cone-shaped Magical Treasures used this time were also infused with âVoid-breaking Sword Intentâ, a power that exceeded the defense limits of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator.
The first Fourth Grade Top Cone-shaped Magical Treasure struck the flesh of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator, and the Thunder Shield defense technique was directly breached by the âVoid-breaking Sword Intentâ, not even managing to absorb some of the impact from the Fourth Grade Top Cone-shaped Magical Treasure.
The âVoid-breaking Sword Intentâ, after breaking the Thunder Shield, didnât consume much, and it subsequently pierced through the body of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator, allowing the Fourth Grade Top Cone-shaped Magical Treasure to penetrate inside the body.
The power of the âVoid-breaking Sword Intentâ and the Fourth Grade Top Cone-shaped Magical Treasure erupted completely inside the body, extinguishing the life force of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator in an instant.
The Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator hurriedly attempted to perform Nascent Soul Emergence, but the second Fourth Grade Top Cone-shaped Magical Treasure arrived, and due to the death of his body, this attack was directed at the Nascent Soul.
"Still a bit of a waste, couldâve handled it with just two shots!" Li Shiming remarked lightly to himself, having seen the battle outcome clearly with his âDivine Eyeâ.
He wasnât particularly excited about the achievement of killing a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator.
His true form was stronger in combat than his avatar Li Yuanba, and now that Li Yuanba could face and kill Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators head-on, it was expected that he could easily kill a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator with various powerful weapons at his disposal.
The four Fourth Grade Top Cone-shaped Magical Treasures, after completing the attack, paused for two breaths, then activated their automatic return runes and returned to the âelectromagnetic cannonâ barrel.
Li Shiming re-infused the âVoid-breaking Sword Intentâ, greatly enhancing the power of the âelectromagnetic cannonâ.
Although the power of the âelectromagnetic cannonâ still couldnât compare to the arrow shot by Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng with the âThunderous Mysterious Bowâ, it was more than enough to deal with Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators.
The launch power of the âelectromagnetic cannonâ and the aura released by the dying Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator were sensed by Wu Zicang and another Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator.
"Something happened!" Wu Zicang decided to contact the two Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivators while flying towards the incident location.
He found he could only reach one Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator, unable to contact the other.
For convenience, they always maintained contact with each other.
Over a long period, the Yuqing Sect re-established communication channels on the Dongqi Continent through various connections, allowing mutual contact outside using communication plaques.
Even though the four major local sects had significant influence on the Dongqi Continent, they couldnât permanently close all contact formations or disable communication plaques for all forces.
The four major local sects understood this and had already lifted these restrictions.
"Youâre closer, go check it out first!" Wu Zicang was about to hasten his pace but hesitated, sending an order to another Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator.
The troubled Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator, although not as powerful as him, could not be instantly killed by even him.
His deep contemplation made him wary of taking risks himself; he decided to have the surviving Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator go investigate first.
The Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator who received the order felt helpless, knowing the danger over there, yet had to obey the command.
He took out a talisman, a look of reluctance flickering in his eyes but resolved himself, activating it to form a defensive magic shield on his body.
He then took out a Fourth Grade Upper Stage Shield; though Thunder Cultivators rarely used defensive magical treasures, not all Thunder Cultivators were unprepared for defense.
Still worried, he cast a Thunder Shield for himself, a third layer of defense.
Feeling the defenses on him provided some reassurance.
He dared not delay and flew toward the incident site.
As he got nearer to the incident site, his Nascent Soul emerged, activating the Nascent Soul Dharma Form. The over-ten-meters-tall Nascent Soul Dharma Form absorbed his body and flew forward.
He was putting all his abilities into action to prepare for sudden attacks.
Li Shiming observed through the drone satellite system as the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator approached. He noticed the Thunder Cultivator close to the Xuanxi Mountain Range resource point had slowed down, while the other Thunder Cultivator accelerated toward him, realizing what happened.
It seemed his instant kill here frightened the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator near the Xuanxi Mountain Range resource point, prompting him to send another Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator to investigate.
This also revealed that the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator at the Xuanxi Mountain Range resource point held the highest status, as he stopped Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng from drawing his bow.
His original plan was to lure both Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivators in, having Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng deal with the Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator from the Xuanxi Mountain Range, while four Fourth Grade Puppets handled the other Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator.
Now, with the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator from the Xuanxi Mountain Range resource point not coming, he only planned to deploy four Fourth Grade Puppets.
Judging by the previous results, four Fourth Grade Puppets were enough to deal with a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator.
This time, Li Shiming activated the âelectromagnetic cannonâ of the four Fourth Grade Puppets from a farther distance. When the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator was two hundred li away, he triggered the âelectromagnetic cannonâ.
The terrifying might was contained within the concealing array, only revealing its terrifying aura once the four Fourth Grade Top Cone-shaped Magical Treasures shot out of the concealing array.
But the speed of the Fourth Grade Top Cone-shaped Magical Treasure was too fast, making it extremely difficult for cultivators within five hundred li to react.
Even Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, with their Divine Sense for stronger perception, had only a very short time from perception to reaction, yet the speed of the âelectromagnetic cannonâ didnât even allow this brief time.
Because this Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator had activated the Nascent Soul Dharma Form, his perception range was much farther than normal.
When he sensed the attack, he was just about to evade, but it was too late.
He pinned his hope on his three defenses; when the Fourth Grade Top Cone-shaped Magical Treasure struck the Fourth Grade Upper Stage Shield, his heart was suddenly shocked.
He sensed the sword intent on the Fourth Grade Top Cone-shaped Magical Treasure, the âVoid-breaking Sword Intentâ was extremely distinctive. It was the top-tier sword intent mastered only by the core Sword Cultivators of the âSword Intent Chongxiao Pavilionâ of the Jian Family.
He never expected to encounter the âVoid-breaking Sword Intentâ of the âSword Intent Chongxiao Pavilionâ on the Dongqi Continent. Not to mention on the Dongqi Continent, even in Central State within West Yan, Sword Cultivators possessing the âVoid-breaking Sword Intentâ were rarely met.
He could not even imagine the kind of power that a Fourth Grade Top Quality magical artifact combined with âVoid-breaking Sword Intentâ could unleash.
This was only an instant thought, results were predetermined. The Fourth Grade Upper Stage Shield couldnât withstand even half a breath before being shattered by the âVoid-breaking Sword Intentâ from the first Fourth Grade Top Cone-shaped Magical Treasure.
Subsequently, the second line of defense was a costly Earth Defense Magic Talisman obtained from a Peak Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner. The Earth Defense Spell cast by this talisman was reputed as the strongest among all defense spells.
But when the strongest met the strongest âVoid-breaking Sword Intentâ, the âVoid-breaking Sword Intentâ emerged victorious.
Of course, breaking through two defenses in succession also exhausted the might of the âVoid-breaking Sword Intentâ.
This couldnât be blamed on the âVoid-breaking Sword Intentâ, as it was empowered on the Fourth Grade Top Cone-shaped Magical Treasure, rather than on the Sword Cultivatorâs own flying sword, making its power and durability far inferior.
