Xue Huan pushed his speed to the limit. The âInvisible Primordial Magnetismâ Divine Skill combined with his practiced flying secret technique allowed him to overcome the typical speed weakness of earth element cultivators.
In front, Li Yuanba repeatedly used the âHeightened Perceptionâ, but every time he utilized it, there was a certain interval, making Xue Huan feel that their speeds were not much different.
Li Yuanbaâs strength was much weaker than his. As long as he caught up with Li Yuanba, he could kill him and avenge the slain comrades.
Li Yuanbaâs actions were definitely a slap in Xue Huanâs face and also an affront to that Great Cultivator.
"You are Li Yuanba, the newly rising genius Sword Cultivator of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion. Donât run, come fight me and see if your title of genius is just empty talk!" Xue Huan recognized Li Yuanba and called out through his secret technique.
Li Yuanba was no longer an unknown. He had reached Nascent Soul Middle Stage within a hundred years and soon after that, repeatedly killed mid-stage practitioners from the White Emperor Sect, including a core cultivator who had mastered the âInvisible Primordial Magnetismâ Divine Skill.
Li Yuanbaâs rise to fame was equivalent to stepping on the White Emperor Sect to gain notoriety.
When conflict arose between the White Emperor Sect and Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, they naturally paid attention to Li Yuanba, a well-known Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator.
Xue Huan was very excited. Killing Li Yuanba would deal a great blow to Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.
It could also mitigate the impact on the White Emperor Sect caused by Li Yuanba killing their core cultivators.
Xue Huan relentlessly accelerated. He discovered that Li Yuanba was leading him away from the Purple Flame Sectâs mountain gate, but didnât mind.
Unless the Great Cultivator showed up, he had nothing to fear from any Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner, especially against Sword Cultivators; he was their nemesis.
In the midst of pursuit and evasion, after thirty minutes, they were a distance away from the Purple Flame Sectâs mountain gate.
Li Yuanba felt this distance was safe enough; even if the Great Cultivator from the Purple Flame Sect emerged, he would have ample time to detect and flee promptly.
"Stopped running?" Xue Huan saw Li Yuanba slowing down and felt a thrill in his heart. It seemed his goading was successful.
Pride is nearly a universal trait among genius cultivators. The more genius they are, the more easily they are provoked into making wrong judgments.
Xue Huan had no intention of underestimating Li Yuanba. He completely unleashed the âInvisible Primordial Magnetismâ Divine Skill, forming a two hundred meter radius âInvisible Primordial Magnetismâ field space around his body.
Li Yuanba smiled lightly. Although the âInvisible Primordial Magnetismâ Divine Skill was shapeless and intangible, difficult to detect, he too had practiced the skill and could naturally sense the field.
He did not immediately use the Spirit Treasure Xingyi Sword. He only had one chance to strike a lethal blow; otherwise, Xue Huan would call in reinforcements from the Great Cultivator at Purple Flame Sectâs mountain gate.
Activating âHeightened Perceptionâ, his figure flickered around Xue Huan, while within the range of his divine sense, countless Sanmei Divine Sand appeared, forming a storm.
"Truly a genius! Youâve mastered the âSanmei Divine Windâ skill, but that skill is a gold attribute divine power, perfectly restrained by my âInvisible Primordial Magnetismâ skill. You should save your energy!" Xue Huan was first shocked, then laughed.
In Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, the âSanmei Divine Windâ is a gold element divine power, and all gold elements are restrained by the âInvisible Primordial Magnetismâ skill.
He was surprised Li Yuanba mastered two divine skills, âDivine Foot Skillâ and âSanmei Divine Windâ, yet still could not pose any threat to him.
Li Yuanba realized the âSanmei Divine Windâ skill was being countered by the âInvisible Primordial Magnetismâ field. Although the range of âSanmei Divine Windâ far exceeded that of the field, once inside, control was lost, and it dissipated.
The âSanmei Divine Sandâ formed by the âSanmei Divine Windâ skill was actually energy-converted gold element sand grains, losing the condition to form a solid once outside its control and thus dispersing.
Li Yuanba did not stop deploying âSanmei Divine Windâ, filling the area with Sanmei Divine Sand.
Xue Huan did not rush. Using inactivity to counter any activity, he floated in the air, allowing himself to be surrounded by âSanmei Divine Windâ.
Not that he didnât want to rush out, but he had to fight Li Yuanba. If he truly moved away from him, Li Yuanba could just turn around and leave using âHeightened Perceptionâ.
He remained in place to entice Li Yuanba into attacking.
His gaze constantly scanned the surroundings, his brow slightly furrowed; the âSanmei Divine Windâ was not as worthless as he had claimed.
At least after Li Yuanba exerted it, he could not locate Li Yuanba within its range.
The âSanmei Divine Windâ can disrupt divine sense, preventing it from penetrating the windâs area.
Were it not for the âInvisible Primordial Magnetismâ field repelling the wind, he might truly become blind and deaf inside it.
Even so, his only method to detect Li Yuanba was through his eyes.
But amidst the countless flying sands, finding Li Yuanbaâs true form was hardly simple, as the sands impaired his vision.
Li Yuanba took out the âTen Thousand Sword Peakâ, pointed in Xue Huanâs direction, and from it, all energy-converted flying swords surged forth.
