Usually, apart from comprehending Sambodhas and cultivating, Jiang Ming would also focus on learning his special abilities and techniques. He was not an exceptionally fast learner, but after cultivating the Grand Path Almighty Method Sutra, his physique and mind underwent a huge transformation. His comprehension skills, which were further enhanced by Human Spiritual Fruits, Earth Spiritual Fruits, and Heaven Spiritual Fruits, had improved by leaps and bounds as well. Coupled with the Enlightening Tea Leaf, he could comprehend a special ability to the rudimentary stage in just a day.
The Slice the Heaven was a special sword technique that Jiang Ming had comprehended to the mastery stage. He was just a few steps away from reaching perfection.
When he struck with Slice the Heaven, its force was so powerful that it cut down one of Bai Yu’s guardians with just a strike.
“Bai Yu, the Holy Son of the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion! You’re a prominent figure, a brilliant prodigy, and widely respected in Zhong Province so no one dares to discipline you even when you’ve done wrong. Is that why you dare to act rampantly even though you’re in Qing Province, which is a territory of Qingyun Sect? Do you have a death wish? If so, I’ll kill you and fulfill your wish today!” Jiang Ming said in a loud voice that reverberated in the air. Then, he cried out, “Wood Dragon!”
He raised his left hand and mana surged out immediately, merging with the universe’ Dao fluctuations. In just a moment, countless seedlings sprouted from the ground for a few dozen miles. Just as swiftly, they grew into towering trees that were hundreds of meters tall. Subsequently, what looked like three small green dragons shot toward Bai Yu and his three guardians from different directions before surrounding the trio in a deadly formation.
Bai Yu frowned deeply as he brought out a sword. He looked like a streak of light as he moved, slashing the branches around him in a frenzy as he said, “Slice the Heaven? Wood Dragon? These are two of Qingyun Sect’s secret techniques. Fellow cultivator of Sacred Lands, since you know I’m the Holy Son of the Infinity Alchemy Pavilion, you still dare to attack me? Do you intend to start a war between two Sacred Lands?”
When Bai Yu finished speaking, he brandished his sword and carved a path open before charging toward Jiang Ming.
Linglong, who was standing at the side, frowned upon seeing this. ‘This person feels familiar. However, I can’t see his face due to the divine light masking his appearance…’
Although towering trees grew in front of Linglong, there was a path of retreat behind her. She spun around and retreated into the distance before she watched the fight up ahead with a confused expression on her face. At the same time, various thoughts raced through her mind.
‘Qingyun Sect and the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion are both Sacred Lands. It’s hard to tell which of them is stronger. Why is that person attacking Bai Yu though? Openly attacking and killing a Holy Son is tantamount to a declaration of war.’
‘Is he an impostor?’
‘It’s possible, but the techniques he used are Qingyun Sect’s special techniques…’
‘Moreover, it seems like he’s not bothered with me at all. He even let me leave… Wait a minute! When I was about to get attacked, he suddenly appeared. Is it possible that he’s trying to help me? But why? Even if he’s not from Qingyun Sect, I don’t think he’s from Jiuyang Sect.’
Zi Linglong stood in the distance; she did not leave. She wanted to watch the outcome of the battle. As for her safety, even if the newcomer was in the Primal Spirit Realm, she was confident that she could protect herself.
“Bai Yu, you think too highly of yourself! You don’t represent the entire Infinite Alchemy Pavilion just yet!” Jiang Ming said. His figure flashed as he suddenly merged with one of the towering trees. This was a feat only possible after one had mastered the wood Sambodha.
Following that, Jiang Ming appeared behind one of the guardians. Alas, he had underestimated the person in front of him; his opponent was stronger than he had expected.
A huge bell shrouded in golden Qi descended at once. Underneath the bell, four swords spun swiftly around him, doubling as a weapon and a shield. As they spun, they easily cut off the branches and vines that had snaked toward him.
“Heaven Suppression Divine Seal!” Jiang Ming cried out as he drew a seal in the air with his left hand. As he leaped up, a divine seal appeared out of thin air, drawing power from the earth and the sky. Its power was overbearing.
“No!” the guardian, a Nascent Soul expert, cried out. Upon sensing the danger, his instincts commanded him to turn around. At the same time, the four swords shot toward the divine seal but were easily blasted away. Even the bell hanging above crashed down on him, nearly smashing his head. Blood gushed out of his injuries as he fell.
At the same time, the branches and the vines seized the chance and shot toward the guardian. They pierced him, draining him of his mana and blood before causing his flesh to wither. Just like that, he died.
“D*mn it!” Bai Yu cursed upon seeing this. He roared, “Heaven Blazing Swords!”
Swoosh!
Bai Yu summoned 108 flying swords, all of which were medium-grade Artifacts, forming a sword formation. He intended to keep this move as his trump card, but the situation forced him to unleash this skill now. Based on how powerful his opponent was, he had no choice but to use this skill now.
Bai Yu had heard of the Wood Dragon, but he did not expect it to be so formidable. Its force was like that of a Primal Spirit cultivator. He could not destroy the attack easily. Hence, he knew he had no choice but to go all out in this battle.
When the flying swords appeared, they shot fire out of their tips, forming a few flaming dragons. The flaming dragons flew toward the towering trees and reduced half of them into ashes in just a moment.
“Charge!” The remaining two guardians rushed out. They brought out a flag each to form a Formation to trap Jiang Ming and restrict his movements.
“Heaven Suppression Divine Seal!” Jiang Ming launched another divine seal, breaking the formation. Then, he raised his sword with his right hand.
At the same time. Dark clouds began to converge above Jiang Ming. Claps of thunder sounded in succession as lightning bolts flashed in the sky.
“Nine Heavens Imperial Lightning! I’ll end all of you with this!” Jiang Ming brought his sword down.
Simultaneously, the lightning bolts struck his enemies.
Boom!
Thunder continued to ring in the air as lightning bolts struck continuously, flashing blindingly.
Bai Yu mentally recalled his swords. When they returned to his side, they formed a sword formation above him to keep the lightning bolts at bay.
“It’s so powerful!”
The sword formation was trembling to Bai Yu’s shock; the lightning bolts were wearing the formation down.
Bai Yu was confident he could hold off an ordinary Primal Spirit expert with the sword formation. However, he was falling into a disadvantageous position at this moment. The force of the attack was too strong, and its range was too wide.
At this time, two miserable cries rang in Bai Yu’s ears. His heart skipped a beat as he used a special ability. His eyes suddenly shone and the scene of his remaining guardians being struck to death by the lightning bolt appeared before his eyes.
Overwhelmed by his rage, Bai Yu growled. “D*mn you, Qingyun Sect! I’m going to kill everyone in your sect for this!”
The guardians were given to him by the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion. Not only did they protect him, but they were like a status symbol as well. Not even in his wildest dreams did he imagine he would lose them all today.
“I’m going to kill you!” Bai Yu roared as he brought out a jade amulet with a small sword carved on it. When it tossed the jade amulet into the air, it suddenly exploded, releasing a small sword that was sealed within.
For a moment, the lightning and the thunder seemed to disappear as an overwhelming and destructive sword intent swept out in all directions.
Time seemed to stand still for a second before millions of small swords suddenly appeared, causing violent Dao fluctuations. The millions of small swords converged into a sword domain immediately.
Zi Linglong’s eyes widened upon seeing. “This energy sword contains the force of a Paradis Realm expert! It can easily kill a Primal Spirit expert!”
Following that, a thought appeared in Zi Linglong’s mind.
‘Can that mysterious man withstand this attack?’
