This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Lianyun Sect was once one of the three most powerful sects on Jiaolong Island and one of the main fighting sects when the Jiaolong Clan launched an invasion on the Poseidon Archipelago.

And the Lianyun Trio were the most outstanding disciples of Lianyun Sect, already at the Foundation Establishment later stage at that time.

Even more terrifying was the fact that the Lianyun Trio were triplets with telepathic understanding, proficient in the Combined Attack Formation.

It was said that under the Combined Attack Formation, the Lianyun Trio once fought briefly with a Golden Core Cultivator and tied.

During that battle, the sects on Jiaolong Island were all burnt to the ground, leaving only the Sea God Sect to dominate alone.

Who would have thought that the Lianyun Trio didn’t perish along with the disappearance of Lianyun Sect but rather survived, and over two hundred years later, even advanced to the Golden Core Middle Stage.

At the Foundation Establishment later stage, the Lianyun Trio could rely on the Combined Attack Formation to temporarily elevate their combat power to the Golden Core Stage.

Now that the three of them were at the Golden Core Middle Stage and deploying the Combined Attack Formation, what level of power would they reach?

Thinking of this, Real Person Han Bo couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine.

But there was no time for Real Person Han Bo to think further, as a massive spear made of Water Elemental Spiritual Power had rapidly condensed and formed, bringing with it an intimidating chill and killer intent, streaking straight towards Real Person Han Lang.

The shrewd and ruthless Lianyun Trio spotted the weakest point of the four Golden Core Cultivators from the Sea God Sect in an instant.

Real Person Han Lang, having just broken through to the Golden Core a year ago, was now facing a concerted attack from three Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivators.

In an instant, Han Lang was terrified, and in the next moment, he resorted to his last card, with several streaks of Spiritual Light flashing on his body.

But it was no use; the spear was unstoppable, effortlessly breaking through all his spell defenses, then destroying his Protective Magical Artifact, and finally, melting his Spiritual Power barrier.

With no place to hide and no defense to offer, the spear plunged into his Dantian, and in an instant, a white light flickered, followed by a burst of blood, as Real Person Han Lang turned blue and fell straight backward, his Elemental Spirit scattering from his Dantian.

This Water Spirit Sharp Spear had directly shattered the Mud Pellet Golden Pill that he had cultivated for a hundred years!

The decisive and vicious actions of the Lianyun Trio resulted in the immediate loss of one member from the Sea God Sect Cultivators.

Real Person Han Bo watched this happen with fury in his eyes.

"Real Person, the Spirit Message can’t be sent out; this layer of Spiritual Light is blocking the transmission of the Spirit Message!" Han Qing hurriedly informed Real Person Han Bo at this moment.

When it rains, it pours!

This news made Real Person Han Bo even more desperate, but having cultivated to the Golden Core Realm, his mind was naturally extraordinary.

"Han Qing, you go and kill that Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Han Yi, you stay with me and hold off this Lianyun Trio!" In just an instant, Real Person Han Bo’s gaze shifted, and he saw the only way out of the crisis, immediately transmitting the message.

If the Foundation Establishment Cultivator controlling the Spiritual Pearl was killed, the layer of Radiance that was hindering their escape would naturally break by itself!

Real Person Han Bo stood in the air, his robe fluttering, not minding the expense, and in an instant, the Spirit Talismans accumulated over many years in his Storage Ring poured out.

The dense, rain-like magical lights of spells immediately shot towards the Lianyun Trio.

Han Yi also activated his Magic Artifact, pinching a spell, and attacked the Lianyun Trio.

Meanwhile, upon receiving the order, Han Qing took advantage of the Lianyun Trio being temporarily held back by Real Person Han Bo and Han Yi, unable to get away, and his figure violently shot towards Mo Yan, who was controlling the Spiritual Pearl.

Golden Core against Foundation Establishment, Han Qing was full of confidence.

He also knew how urgent the situation was, so he made no reservations, using his strongest methods right from the start.

Like fine rain but numerous, fast, and powerful, the Water Arrow Technique indiscriminately enveloped Mo Yan.

Observing this situation, the Lianyun Trio merely glanced sideways at the scene without a trace of panic. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

This caused Real Person Han Bo, who was struggling against the Lianyun Trio, to have a bad premonition.

Could it be...

Seeing the sky-filled Water Arrows coming, Mo Yan displayed a confidently prepared posture, scoffing, "Is that all."

Then, he lifted his left hand, and a flamboyantly fiery red Netherfire Red Lotus Fire roared out, circling in front of him, keeping him within its protection.

All the Water Arrows instantly hissed upon contact with the fire, turning into steam and evaporating.

Clouds and mist steamed up!

In the Five Elements, the Water Element inherently counters the Fire Element.

However, Mo Yan’s flame was the Netherfire Red Lotus Fire, while the Water Arrows launched by Real Person Han Qing were merely the most common Water Element Spells.

With such a significant qualitative difference, the supposed counter relationship naturally ceased to exist.

After effortlessly neutralizing Real Person Han Qing’s spells, Mo Yan did not stop there; the Fire Ring around him rose, condensing into an extremely long Fire Spear in mid-air, with sparks flying in all directions.

"Kill!" With a light tap of his finger, Mo Yan sent the Red Lotus Fire Spear shooting towards Real Person Han Qing.

Confident and domineering!

Mo Yan, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, blocked Han Qing’s attack and then took the offensive against Han Qing, who was in the initial stage of Golden Core.

Feeling the terrifying aura from the Fire Spear, Han Qing’s face turned pale, and he quickly summoned a spell to block the Fire Spear.

A Water Spirit Shield appeared before the Fire Spear.

Clang!

A metallic collision rang out.

Then came the sound of crackling, as spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the Water Spirit Shield, spreading rapidly.

Hiss!

The Water Spirit Shield shattered into specks of Spiritual Light that fell away as the Fire Spear broke through the Water Cloud Shield, taking advantage of the opening to stab into the chest of Han Qing.

There, a dazzling blue light flashed once again.

That was Han Qing’s Protective Magical Artifact, his last line of defense.

No matter how strong the Red Lotus Fire was, the gap between the ranks of Foundation Establishment and Golden Core was ultimately there.

This time, after grinding away most of the Spiritual Light of Han Qing’s Protective Magical Artifact, the spear formed by the Red Lotus Fire eventually ran out of momentum and slowly dissipated.

Whoosh!

Just as Han Qing had barely heaved a sigh of relief, a piercingly swift sound suddenly reached his ears.

What was that?!

In his field of vision, a sword shadow was growing larger.

Zang Xiaojian’s Flying Sword!

Following closely behind Mo Yan’s Netherfire spear, it arrived precisely when Han Qing’s old strength had waned and new strength had yet to surface, the timing exquisitely perfect.

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s Flying Sword is something that a Golden Core Cultivator would normally not fear.

But Zang Xiaojian’s Flying Sword was simply too fast.

It was a terrifying Flying Sword that was only a whisker away from the speed of sound.

Han Qing dared not underestimate it, forcibly gathering his breath to activate his Protective Magical Artifact once more.

Boom!

This time, the Protective Aura mostly dissipated, and Han Qing spat out blood in distress. Looking at the Flying Sword whose momentum was fading, he was greatly relieved, "I’ve finally blocked it."

"It’s not over yet," a voice with a hint of mockery reached his ears.

Han Qing’s pupils contracted slightly, and in front of him, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator had suddenly appeared.

It was Lu Qingshan, following closely behind Zang Xiaojian’s Flying Sword using the Formless Sword Escape, arriving only a half-breath later.

After realizing Lu Qingshan’s attack was incoming, Han Qing only had time for a hasty rotation of his Spiritual Power, barely maintaining a thin layer of it around his body... Mo Yan and Zang Xiaojian’s successive attacks left him, in this brief moment, unable to summon a significant amount of Spiritual Power...

But unsure of where Lu Qingshan’s attack would land, he could only brace himself and spread the scant Spiritual Power he could muster around his entire body, hoping to protect himself.

Han Qing held onto a sliver of hope.

Though the tactics of those two Foundation Establishment Cultivators were heaven-defying enough, surely a third monstrously talented Foundation Establishment Cultivator couldn’t exist?

Moreover, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator before him was only at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

Perhaps, I can withstand it?

Han Qing didn’t realize that he, who had started with full confidence, was now beginning to doubt himself.

Lu Qingshan’s sword was aimed at the head of Han Qing.

Secret Sword: Wind Slash!

Two afterimages appeared, carrying the fierce Sword Qi, and directly slashed onto Han Qing’s skull.

A vast spray of blood burst forth, and Han Qing’s skull exploded, leaving a massive gash!

Watching the substantial experience gain notification pop up on his data panel, Lu Qingshan confirmed that Han Qing, at the initial stage of Golden Core, was dead!

...

It was not unjust for Han Qing at the initial stage of Golden Core to die.

Though Han Qing did not hold back, his underestimation of Foundation Establishment Cultivators led to him not anticipating Mo Yan’s counterattack, resulting in insufficient preparation on his part.

This oversight allowed him to fall instantly under the nested attacks of these three exceptional Foundation Establishment Cultivators: Mo Yan who wielded Netherfire, Zang Xiaojian whose Flying Sword was nearing the speed of sound, and Lu Qingshan who could use Secret Sword Technique even at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Lu Qingshan slowly sheathed his sword.

Curiously enough, he had had no communication with Zang Xiaojian, yet they had cooperated tacitly, both choosing to strike at the same time.

This was the tacit understanding between Sword Cultivators.

After jointly witnessing the atrocities of the Sea God Sect on the island and the so-called sacrificial ceremony, both he and Zang Xiaojian had been enduring, but the resentment had been echoing in their hearts.

Now facing the cultivators of the Sea God Sect, both of them chose to help Mo Yan without hesitation and killed Han Qing.

The reason was simple: for the most free-spirited Sword Cultivators, if one held resentment but did not act upon it, how could one’s heart remain unobstructed thereafter?
