This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 472: Chapter 13 Eye for an Eye_3

At that moment, Lu Qingshan’s two flying swords once again grazed the old vulture man’s body, creating two fine wounds that bled unstoppably, with a healing speed extremely slow.

Having retreated dozens of yards, the young monk Jue Zhen barely managed to stabilize his figure in the air, with trickles of blood seeping from the corners of his mouth.

However, within those trickles of blood, there was a faint golden shimmer, which caught Lu Qingshan’s eye with a flash of understanding.

Golden blood, that was a characteristic unique to the Buddha.

This little novice monk was indeed not simple.

As the battle reached this point, the old vulture man’s heart surged with murderous intent. After repelling Jue Zhen, he pressed his attack without slowing down, hurtling towards Lu Qingshan like a meteor.

...

In battle, one must first slay the sword cultivator—this was common knowledge even among novice cultivators who had just entered Qi Refinement!

Boom!

The old vulture man unleashed a punch that shook the heavens with its violence and ferocity.

Clang!

The Dragon Sparrow, swift beyond measure, had already arrived to save its master, blocking the punch in front of Lu Qingshan and then being knocked backward.

Seeing this, the old vulture man merely revealed a sinister and cold sneer.

In his eerie eyes, two gray vortexes suddenly emerged, generating a terrifying suction force as if to capture Lu Qingshan’s soul.

Primordial Spirit Attack! @@novelbin@@

A Pupil Skill that directly targeted the primordial spirit.

Who would have thought that the old vulture man, a cultivator known for his physical prowess, had actually cultivated a technique for primordial spirit attacks—utterly unexpected and unguardable!

And yet.

Lu Qingshan laughed.

He stared directly into the vortexes in the old vulture man’s eyes, neither dodging nor blinking.

In an instant, a dazzling sword qi leapt from his right pupil.

Pupil Skill: Xiezhi!

The sword qi, as swift as thunder, shot straight towards the old vulture man, leaving him with no chance to evade.

“A hundred strands of sword qi do not scare me, what’s one more?” scoffed the old vulture man.

A terrifying vibration erupted from his body with a buzz.

Clang!

The sword qi generated from Lu Qingshan’s pupil struck the old vulture man’s physical body yet failed to leave even a white mark.

“Is that all—” The old vulture man began, but suddenly cut short.

At that moment, the glowing sword qi peculiarly and mysteriously transformed into a divine beast resembling a Qilin.

The divine beast’s body was covered in thick, dark fur, its eyes bright and spirited, glaring furiously at the old vulture man, with the most bizarre feature being a fierce horn on its forehead.

Xiezhi.

With a gentle nudge, the fierce horn disregarded the old vulture man’s physical defense and penetrated his body.

Because it was the Xiezhi, the target of the attack was the primordial spirit!

The old vulture man’s body trembled, feeling as if his forehead’s primordial spirit had been struck by lightning, a penetrating pain emerging, causing his consciousness to fade abruptly.

The technique he was performing was instantly interrupted, and his previously vortex-like eyes now lost their luster, becoming blank and confused.

Lu Qingshan pursued relentlessly, with killing intent surging in his heart, unleashing all manner of techniques at once in a fierce onslaught.

It was time to unleash the killing move!

With a flip of his left hand, a talisman inscribed with mystical Buddhist symbols appeared in his grasp.

The spell sealed within was an Esoteric Buddhism barrier technique, the Buddhist Lotus.

Spiritual power surged, and the secret talisman activated.

A chant, of unknown origin, began to emanate from his body and spread outwards, as if a piece of the Buddha Land had suddenly descended upon the world.

Glancing back abruptly, there seemed to be a Buddha emerging in the horizon, a vast and holy presence overwhelming the vulture-like old man, whose primordial spirit had been attacked and was momentarily stunned.

Still reeling from the pain, the vulture-like old man with a deathly white complexion immediately felt the terrifying pressure bearing down on him.

To him, it was an unbearable sensation, the Buddha’s oppression causing his body to become numb and rigid. The pain on his primordial spirit made it impossible to focus, leaving him unable to react immediately.

Then, he saw a streak of faint blue sword light flash by.

Where did this sword light come from?

The thought process of the stunned vulture-like old man couldn’t help but wander to this question.

The sword cultivator’s two flying swords, one crimson, the other jade green, were far away. What was this faint blue sword light?

He hadn’t sorted out the answer.

As the sword light faded, the figure that appeared was Lu Qingshan, who had used the Formless Sword Escape to get close, accompanying the flying swords.

In Lu Qingshan’s hand was a sword that shone like ice, its eerie blue color glistening as he directed a malevolent smile at the old man.

Suddenly, Lu Qingshan swung his sword, slashing straight down at the old man.

A dull yellow mist emanated from the sword, engulfing the vulture-like old man’s vision.

Oblivion: Netherworld!

Experience points plummeted by one hundred thousand.

The power of the dead spirits, which had been accumulating on the Oblivion River Sword for a long time, surged forth at this moment, entwining the old man who had been rendered immobile and stupid by the Pupil Skill: Xiezhi, and the Barrier Technique: Buddhist Lotus.

The dense death qi swallowed up the vulture-like old man’s hastily summoned upsurge of blood qi from his physical body, eradicating it.

Under the suppression of the Buddhist Lotus, his already weakened vulture Dharma Aspect could not withstand the might of this sword and shattered suddenly.

The source of a body cultivator’s physical strength lies in the endless blood qi and the spiritual power of the Dharma Aspect.

Once the Dharma Aspect dispersed and blood qi dissipated, a body cultivator’s physical body was no different from a shriveled husk. Though still formidable, it was like a spring without a source—how could it withstand the sword of a sword cultivator?

Oblivion descended upon the chest of the vulture-like old man, tearing through the rock-like skin on his physical body and leaving a deep, bottomless gash.

The tip of the sword continued downward, stopping at the old man’s abdomen, at the dantian area. With a fierce thrust, it pierced straight through the Nascent Soul seated within the dantian.

The vulture-like old man widened his eyes in a final glimmer of consciousness, staring at Lu Qingshan, his whole body trembling nonstop.

“You didn’t agree, so I had no choice but to kill you,” Lu Qingshan replied softly.

Following that, Oblivion twisted and wrung, shattering the Nascent Soul to pieces.

All light faded from the eyes of the vulture-like old man as his body went limp.

Lu Qingshan pulled Oblivion out of the old man’s body, feeling an inner sense of calm.

You dared to use a Primordial Spirit Attack and Pupil Skill against me.

So I will repay you in kind.

And repay double at that.

One extra sword strike for you!
