Li Yuanba was not worried about the battle on Grandmaster Lou and Grandmaster Wuâs side. Although that Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Being was very powerful, with the combined battle strength of the two Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators and their seamless cooperation, the demise of a single Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Being was only a matter of time.
Especially since he had also bestowed the âInnate Woodâ divine skill on the two Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators, even if they suffered some injuries, they would recover quickly.
Once the two Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators left the team, Li Yuanba no longer took action but instead focused on Lou Wu.
With Great Cultivator Lou going into battle, he needed to protect Lou Wu well.
Even with the absence of the two Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators, the combat strength of the sword cultivator team remained unchanged, continuing to clear the Hell Creatures on the ground.
Suddenly, Wu Qiâs body flew out, spewing blood in mid-air, while a green glow surrounded him, a unique healing light from the âInnate Woodâ divine skill.
In mid-air, Wu Qi felt helpless, wondering why he was always the unfortunate one.
To protect their respective teams, each core sword cultivator positioned themselves in the most attack-prone spots of the team.
At the front of the team were five Mid-stage Golden Corpses, which did not require the core sword cultivators to worry about.
Protecting their team was a core sword cultivatorâs responsibility, and also, each core sword cultivator had the âInnate Woodâ divine skillâs blessing, allowing them not to fear injury.
Even with the âInnate Jianmu Tree Heartâ enhancing his own âInnate Woodâ divine skill greatly, Li Yuanba couldnât possibly bestow the âInnate Woodâ divine skill upon all the hundreds of sword cultivators simultaneously.
He had no intention of exhausting himself, so he only chose the core sword cultivators.
In the air, Wu Qi activated the âSpace Acceptance Talismanâ inside his Identity Jade Disc, disappearing in a flash, as a claw struck the spot where he had been a moment before.
"Damn it, how could there be a second Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Being!" Li Yuanba cursed bitterly.
As he spoke, his actions did not slow down.
âTen Thousand Sword Peakâ was thrown into the air by him, enveloping that Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature.
The gravitational field enhanced by the âGravity Gold Brickâ bore down on the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature, slowing its movements and giving the sword cultivator it was targeting time to dodge.
"Fall back!" Li Yuanba shouted.
Within the entire sword cultivator team, apart from Grandmaster Lou and Grandmaster Wu, his status was the highest.
This was not explicitly stated, but every sword cultivator understood it.
Even the captains among the core sword cultivators were aware that Li Yuanbaâs combat strength, his identity as an Alchemy Master, and his possession of the âInnate Woodâ divine skill placed him in an extraordinarily high position among the core sword cultivators.
Especially with his acknowledged identity as the top Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner, the sword cultivators had immense trust in him.
In the Cultivation World, only absolute strength gained cultivatorsâ trust, and Li Yuanbaâs combat prowess commanded immense respect among the sword cultivators.
Thus, with his shout, the entire sword cultivator team immediately retreated, leaving only him standing in place, facing the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature directly.
On the other side, Grandmaster Lou and Grandmaster Wu noticed the sword cultivator teamâs trouble. They couldnât split up at this moment; any one of them alone as a sword cultivator Great Cultivator would not be able to quickly resolve a Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Being.
Once the two Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators separated, unable to quickly resolve a Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Being, they would fall into a tough battle.
It was better to immediately resolve the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Being in front of them, then quickly deal with the other one.
Of course, another reason was that Li Yuanba was on that side; Li Yuanba was known for having a record of slaying Great Cultivators.
The two Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators did not expect Li Yuanba to eliminate the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature, but as long as he could delay it enough for them to resolve their current fight, that would suffice.
"Yuanba, just delay it a bit!" shouted Great Cultivator Lou.
"Leave it to me!" Li Yuanba responded.
Though he couldnât expose the true quality of the spiritual treasure âTen Thousand Sword Peak,â there was no need to hide the energy-converted flying swords within it.
"All swords, unleash!" Li Yuanba pointed at âTen Thousand Sword Peak,â shouting in a deep voice.
Countless energy-converted flying swords flew out from âTen Thousand Sword Peak,â and the sword cultivators of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, being particularly sensitive to flying swords, felt their hair stand on end as the energy-converted flying swords emerged from âTen Thousand Sword Peak.â
The indescribable sense of threat felt as if each energy-converted flying sword could potentially kill them.
Among the ten thousand energy-converted flying swords, nearly eight thousand were mere facades, with the sword intent within them being extremely shallow, unable to threaten the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature.
Therefore, these eight thousand energy-converted flying swords merely danced at the periphery, forming an isolating formation under the control of the âTen Thousand Sword Peakâ Artifact Spirit, separating the two thousand battle-ready energy-converted flying swords with Great Cultivator sword intent from the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature.
This was a combat method he devised, maximizing the preservation of âTen Thousand Sword Peakâsâ secrets.
Fortunately, he had the help of an Artifact Spirit; otherwise, by himself, he wouldnât have as many brains as Li Shimingâs main body and couldnât simultaneously manipulate so many energy-converted flying swords to arrange complex formations.
