Chapter 718: Chapter 282: Fierce Battle, One Sword Shatters All Techniques (Part 2)

"But making allies with a genius, especially one destined to rise, is even more important.

The current status of our Li Family is not solely due to our talisman-making industry.

More importantly, a century ago, our Ancestor risked his life to save the third disciple of the Celestial Essence Sect Leader, who is now the Young Sect Leader of the Celestial Essence Sect.

If not for this,

do you think the influence of our Li Family in Celestial Essence City could have developed so rapidly?

Moreover, Elder Tian Can, despite his infamy, managed to survive not just through his strength.

It’s also because he is clever enough."

Li Yuansheng waved his hand, retorting.

"Clever enough?"

The Li Family Patriarch was taken aback.

"Because he never provoked those large cultivation forces or entities with complex relationships with top experts.

His targets were mainly those rootless loose cultivators, small cultivation clans, and idle forces without any background.

But he never dared to offend any of the well-known cultivation clans and forces with intricate ties to different sides."

Saying this, he smiled and continued, "Though our Li Family isn’t a large cultivation clan.

With the Young Sect Leader of the Celestial Essence Sect owing us a favor, he naturally acts as the backbone for our Li Family.

If Elder Tian Can is wise enough, he would never make a move against us.

Otherwise, I would just owe someone a favor and request a Core Formation True Master to deal with Elder Tian Can."

Li Yuansheng stated confidently.

"But.

How can Kunpeng Daoist’s potential possibly be compared to that of the Young Sect Leader of Celestial Essence Sect?"

The Li Family Patriarch couldn’t help but ask hesitantly.

"No, you’re wrong.

If not considering the gap in their statuses, Kunpeng Daoist’s potential actually surpasses that of the Young Sect Leader of the Celestial Essence Sect.

Not to mention,

we only know Kunpeng Daoist arrived in Celestial Essence City alone, but we are unclear about his true identity.

How can we know if his real identity is inferior to the original identity of the Young Sect Leader of Celestial Essence City?"

Upon hearing this, the Li Family Patriarch’s expression grew solemn, and he immediately understood.

Indeed,

genius’ cultivating through adversity are rare.

This Kunpeng Daoist could even leap across a major realm, battling Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishment Cultivators with only Second-Layer or Third-Layer Foundation Establishment strength.

His potential is genuinely immeasurable.

If he can grow further, he may not be much inferior to the Young Sect Leader of Celestial Essence Sect.

Even disregarding this,

his combat strength equivalent to Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishment Cultivators ought to be acknowledged by the Li Family.

Moreover, his true identity is that of an Alchemy Master.

The status of an Alchemy Master is already transcendent.

A powerful Alchemy Master is even more respected.

...

"After coming out of seclusion this time, I heard the Heaven and Earth Alliance was wiped out, and the person responsible was my neighbor. I was even considering finding some time to challenge him.

Just to test my strength.

Now it seems I’ve been somewhat overestimating myself."

On the other side,

the Teng Family Patriarch, Teng Qingshan, gazed distantly at the battlefield.

Prior to this, he had been in seclusion.

A few days ago, he finally broke through his bottleneck, advancing smoothly from Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer Body Cultivation Realm to Sixth Layer.

His strength and realm underwent a vast transformation compared to before.

Additionally, hearing his family’s surroundings had changed, and that his neighbor was immensely powerful, even decimating the previous malevolent neighbor, the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

Even three of the five Alliance Leaders of the Heaven and Earth Alliance fell, including Situ Xuan Kong, whom Teng Qingshan had previously fought against.

As one who always loved battle, he immediately became excited, eager to clash and test his strength and skills.

However,

upon witnessing the other party unveil a strike of astonishing might, scattering the flying sword of a Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishment Cultivator with such force, Teng Qingshan felt a bit of a gap, sensing a disparity.

"Truly has some skill.

However, if that’s your only means, it’s time for me to make my move..."

Elder Tian Can sneered coldly.

Controlling his flying sword again,

the flying sword emitted radiant lights, forming into sword flowers.

The sword flowers flashed to extremity, swiftly flying toward Zhou Changwang.

Zhou Changwang remained unfazed at the sight.

The flying sword spiraled slightly, and the thirty-six flying swords reassembled after scattering, forming a massive flying sword.

Like a giant pillar, it smashed downward.

Bam!

The two sides collided again.

The opponent’s sword flowers quickly dissipated, while Zhou Changwang’s flying sword slightly loosened, appearing hard to sustain.

However, the next moment, both sides struck again.

Elder Tian Can suddenly produced a black banner.

Once the banner unfurled, a thick black cloud materialized, surged by the True Essence Power from within him, fiercely waved.

Instantly, a dense black cloud swept toward Zhou Changwang’s direction like a torrent.

The black cloud brewed and evolved something as it approached.

Then quickly formed a giant black serpent mid-air.

The serpent, lifelike, flicked its tongue in the void, lurching its head towards Zhou Changwang.

Elsewhere, Zhou Changwang was also not idle, flying swords surged out.

In a blink, they assembled into a formation, becoming a stable sword entity.

This sword entity, though not as colossal as the previous sword formed by thirty-six flying swords,

exuded intense energy.

Under Zhou Changwang’s control, it was exceptionally agile.

With a flicker, it vanished and surged toward the black serpent, slashing down fiercely.

Pfft!

The serpent’s head shattered.

But in a blink, countless black serpents emerged from the cloud, swiftly entwining Zhou Changwang’s flying sword.

But Zhou Changwang’s Yin Yang Five Elements Swordsmanship, capable of assembling into a formation or remaining as sharp top-tier flying swords.

The flying swords quickly dispersed into seven streams of sword-shaped light, charging toward the black mist.

Pfft pfft pfft...

Even though the black fog carried potent corrosive energy, tainting treasures.

The flying swords’ unmatched sharpness could sever everything.

They sliced through the black fog into pieces, transforming into mini black clouds falling onto plants, directly causing them to wither, wilting the lush greenery into charred yellow.

Zhou Changwang’s expression remained unchanged, but his gaze grew frostier, controlling the flying swords to reassemble and thrust forward again.

Pfft!

Elder Tian Can, caught unprepared, saw the black banner in his hand pierced by the flying sword, tearing a massive gash.

With the banner’s breach, its power significantly diminished.

The dispersed black fog almost backfired onto Elder Tian Can’s body.

Nearby, the cultivator whose flying sword linked in Heart Spirit shattered by Zhou Changwang’s earlier strike, reeled from the backlash.

Once enveloped by black fog,

despite initially recovering, they emitted a deep wail, their skin and clothes eroded into blurs.

This black fog.

Under Zhou Changwang’s flying sword attacks, appeared feeble.

Yet its real power was formidable.

Those black serpents each harbored terrifying corrosion and could taint treasures.

Ordinary cultivators found such magical artifact attacks vexing.

But Zhou Changwang’s flying sword could pierce through everything.

Its single strike was sharp, strong beyond measure.

A strike to shatter myriad spells!

Soon after, the flying sword surged like a dragon, stabbing at Elder Tian Can once more.

Bam!

Elder Tian Can promptly summoned a defensive magical artifact to block the strike.

Concurrently, he commanded the flying sword to target Zhou Changwang again.

During his control of the flying sword, Zhou Changwang was not idle; his somewhat loose Thirty-Six Flying Heaven Sword Formation reformed, thrusting once again with force.
