Chapter 347: Chapter 220: Killing Blow

Li Yuanba wouldn’t be provoked by Jue Yuan Buddha; he continuously utilized the division of sword light to use Sword Escape and retract from the range of the white lotus while attacking Jue Yuan Buddha incessantly with the Gale Golden Light Sword.

However, Jue Yuan Buddha’s figure kept flickering, and his flying sword could not catch the Jue Yuan Buddha’s figure; every attack landed on an illusory shadow.

This was the most terrifying opponent he had ever encountered; the tactics of the sword cultivator had no effect on him.

Of course, the main reason was that Li Yuanba was somewhat lacking in realm, which left him severely restricted.

If both were of the same realm, it would be hard to say who held the advantage.

Out of necessity, he could only once again divide the sword light, originally split into two streams of sword light, one used for Sword Escape, the other for a main attack.

...

Now, he further divided the sword light again, turning it into ten streams of sword light, of which nine were for attacking.

This was actually employing a tactic from the original Li Shiming, nine streams of sword light equivalent to nine flying swords, only much weaker in power; also, since only one was solid, the Gale Golden Light Sword was not designed for formations, so it was only shaped as such.

Since the original Li Shiming was profoundly knowledgeable in manipulating nine flying swords, when there was no other option, Li Yuanba utilizing nine streams of sword light could also unleash considerable power.

The nine streams of sword light were like nine swimming fishes, continuously moving within a range of thirty to a hundred meters in front of him, seemingly without any purpose, yet they contained the principles of formation.

The nine streams of sword light couldn’t form a strong formation, but as they were energy bodies with spiritual power, they could still set up a formation.

Moreover, as the battle progressed, the original Li Shiming was also providing help, by using interconnected thoughts to call upon IBMz15’s computing power, endowing Li Yuanba also with the ability to form battle formations.

This is why Li Shiming’s spirit had greatly improved, condensed into divine thought, allowing him to act as an intermediary with IBMz15 without delay.

Otherwise, with Li Shiming’s earlier spirit, after transferring through him, by the time IBMz15 calculated the results and relayed them back to Li Yuanba, there would be at least a breath’s delay, which was of no help in the battle.

The formation set up by the nine streams of sword light was very simple, just an Enchanting Soul Formation.

The so-called Enchanting Soul Formation didn’t impact the soul but created illusions to disorientate individuals within it.

Li Yuanba didn’t know how effective this would be against Jue Yuan Buddha, but he had to try as his means to confront Jue Yuan Buddha were limited.

Jue Yuan Buddha was continuously moving rapidly using Buddhist secret techniques, leaving Li Yuanba with very limited time to think, so he was almost moving instinctively.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t be affected by a minor Enchanting Soul Formation, but when moving instinctively, the brain only makes judgments based on the environmental context at the scene.

Jue Yuan Buddha’s figure was affected by the Enchanting Soul Formation and soon started moving orderly within the Enchanting Soul Formation set up by the nine streams of sword light.

In the Enchanting Soul Formation, his movements were still extremely fast, fast enough to nearly ignore the process of moving, his figure flickering incessantly on the white lotus.

But due to the effects of the Enchanting Soul Formation, his movements were guided by the formation, providing Li Yuanba with an opportunity to grasp his movement patterns.

In just two breaths’ time, Jue Yuan Buddha realized something was amiss. As he was about to react, Li Yuanba’s counterattack arrived.

The nine streams of sword light suddenly flashed, and even the sword light beneath Li Yuanba vanished, all sword lights merging into one, shooting towards an empty spot above the white lotus.

And just as the sword light approached the area above the white lotus, Jue Yuan Buddha’s figure appeared right there.

This strike of sword light avoided the copper bell in front of Jue Yuan Buddha. Moreover, Jue Yuan Buddha’s rapid movement limited the copper bell’s power; the fact that he could use the copper bell to defend while moving so quickly was already the limit.

Ordinary cultivators had to choose between extreme speed and the defense of spiritual artifacts; having both was impossible.

The copper bell was refined through Jue Yuan Buddha’s secret technique, deeply connected to him, which allowed him to use the copper bell while moving at high speed, but it could only shield in front.

A tearing sound emerged as Li Yuanba’s sword light swept over Jue Yuan Buddha, inflicting a foot-long wound on Jue Yuan Buddha’s body.

The wound was long, but not fatal, as its depth was limited.

Li Yuanba looked displeased; Jue Yuan Buddha’s body refinement had reached the level of Late-stage Foundation Establishment, far surpassing his own realm.

This meant Jue Yuan Buddha either consumed spiritual objects like Monkey Wine or had obtained the Buddha’s relic to accelerate his body refinement.

It was only because Li Yuanba’s strike contained sword intent that he could break through Jue Yuan Buddha’s defense and wound his body.

He had calculated the last strike, and had not used his full strength, only causing Jue Yuan Buddha some minor injuries.

“Good opponent, those were not merely sword cultivator’s tactics!” Jue Yuan Buddha didn’t become angry due to his injuries but rather laughed as he spoke.

Such opponents were truly rare; he had few equals among his contemporaries at Qianye Temple, even among the latter-stage Buddhas, few could fight him with all their might.

Jue Yuan Buddha’s injured flesh tightened and the wound was no longer visible.

This didn’t mean his injury had healed; it was merely using the Refining Skill to forcibly control the muscles and skin to lock the wound.
