This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 545: Chapter 43 Sword Birth Thunder Fire_2

A Body Cultivator’s speed being so fast was indeed rare.

This was because the Dharma Aspect that Luo Yi cultivated, the Ghost Leopard, was a magical beast known for its speed.

Besides, Luo Yi was condensing his Taoist seed with the intent of speed.

With these two factors combined, plus his cultivation was already a major realm higher than Lu Qingshan’s, his fleeing speed alone had already surpassed Lu Qingshan’s Sword Control speed.

Facing such a swift opponent meant that whenever Lu Qingshan managed to distance himself, he could control his Flying Sword to strike only once or twice before Luo Yi would be upon him.

Usually, by relying on the speed advantage of Sword Control, other cultivators either had to exchange blows from a distance or endure the continuous strikes of the Flying Sword to get close.

Simply put, against Luo Yi, the tactic of “kite-flying” would not work.

However, although “kite-flying” is a signature tactic of Sword Cultivators, it was never Lu Qingshan’s most frequently used strategy.

Therefore, this setback did not significantly affect Lu Qingshan.

This is also why the higher a cultivator’s cultivation, the more time and energy they spend on building their own spell system.

Facing diverse and variably skilled opponents, there was no single tactic that could work universally “with one brilliant move to conquer all” when the strengths were closely matched.

Reacting to moves and choosing the most suitable combat method based on the actual opponent was indeed the most sensible tactic.

As Luo Yi charged towards him, Lu Qingshan’s Dragon Sparrow was already confronting it head-on.

Boom!

An explosive sound erupted.

This didn’t sound like a clash of swords but like two comets colliding, creating violent fluctuations. A roaring sound filled the arena, with spiritual power rolling out like dispersing smoke.

People were shocked.

“Such fast Flying Sword!”

The onlooking cultivators, themselves also formidable in strength, praised the incredible speed of the Flying Sword which had truly reached its limit.

Eighty-four times the speed of sound!

For a Nascent Soul Late Stage Sword Cultivator to achieve such a speed with his Flying Sword was truly chilling for them.

Especially for those who were also Sword Cultivators.

They understood the terror of it all too well.

During their time in the Nascent Soul Late Stage, even with the enhancement of the first-ranked Slaughter Sword Intent, achieving forty times the speed of sound was considered top among the elite, and very few managed it.

Lu Qingshan had simply doubled their best.

This was outrageously far off the charts.

“Perfection Realm Slaughter Sword Intent…” A knowledgeable person, staring at the spiraling and returning Dragon Sparrow, quietly muttered to himself.

On the Flying Sword, there seemed to be a shadow of blood, with a chilling intent swirling around it, like needle pricks to the bones and a murderous aura extremely stern, striking fear in those who saw it.

Such an aura could only be reached with Perfection Realm Slaughter Sword Intent.

Struck by Lu Qingshan’s Flying Sword, Luo Yi’s advancing form slightly stalled, fierce light flickering in his eyes, “In just a few months, your Slaughter Sword Intent has improved again. Worthy indeed of being Xia Daoyun’s chief disciple.”

The last time the Yellow List was updated, Lu Qingshan’s recorded cultivation was Unity Realm Slaughter Sword Intent.

Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, he had reached the Perfection Realm.

This rate of advancement in intent was truly terrifying.

Moreover, Lu Qingshan’s Life-bound Sword, speculated on the Yellow List to be a Pseudo Dao Artifact, seemed to have been confirmed as well.

The power of Lu Qingshan’s Flying Sword attacks even made him feel somewhat frightened; after withstanding a strike, although he wasn’t injured, that piercing chill was deeply felt.

If it weren’t for the high quality of this Sword Cultivator’s Life-bound Sword, Luo Yi wouldn’t believe that a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator could launch such fierce Flying Sword attacks.

Luo Yi felt a tightness in his heart, sensing that this was going to be a tough battle.

Lu Qingshan, however, showed a different color on his face.

—Luo Yi’s physical strength was far beyond his imagination.

His Flying Sword, speaking solely of speed, was challenging for many Void Refining Late Stage Sword Cultivators to compare with him.

This was the result of the combination of a Taoist Artifact, Perfection Realm Slaughter Sword Intent, Flawless Dao Foundation robust spiritual power, and a Primordial Spirit that had reached the Control Realm.

Yet such a strike, reaching the void-refining late-stage level of Flying Sword, cutting Luo Yi’s body, left him completely unharmed.

Though the Flying Sword of Sword Cultivators was sharp, every cultivator had their own methods to weaken the power of a Flying Sword.

Like a Barrier, like Buddhist Golden Light, like Dharma Cultivation’s Mountain Moving Technique… and so on, thus when a Flying Sword finally hit the enemy, retaining half its power was considered good already.

Yet, for Luo Yi to depend purely on his physical body to block the Flying Sword without any damage was very rare indeed.

It seemed that relying on the Flying Sword, he had no way to defeat Luo Yi.

“If my son can’t be harmed by a Flying Sword, Lu Qingshan, how can you still win?” From a distance, the handsome Marquis Luotang muttered to himself as he watched the scene.

“Among Nascent Soul cultivators, not to mention being able to fight against Lu Qingshan, even those who can safely handle one strike of his Flying Sword are few.

This is indeed a young prodigy, it’s just too bad Luo Yi’s cultivation is far too superior to his.”Aside from Marquis Luotang, a Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator from Great Xia made his judgment.

“With his current performance, even if he loses this battle, what of it? Will Xia Daoyun and Sword Sect not protect him?

Besides, I’ve started to believe that he actually has the capability to kill Gui Yuan True Venerable,” another Great Xia cultivator with a head full of silver hair, appearing quite old, slowly spoke.

The others nodded in agreement.
