Chapter 348: Retreating Thoughts Begin to Emerge

t he had to drag himself down. If it wasn't for the Four-winged Mantis's actions being too blatant, Lu Xiaottian wouldn't have been so determined to kill him. He had fought Lu Xiaottian in front of th......while Lu Xia Tian estimated that his own aptitude was far inferior, including Luo Qian's marksmanship and Su Qing's marksmanship, both showing subtle signs of being close to a breakthrough. Once they broke through, their strength would also see a considerable leap. However, compared to the young man in the curved saber and fine clothes before him, there was still a considerable gap. Lu Xia Tian didn't think he could go very far in combat skills...

He didn't take the path of martial arts, mostly relying on brute force over technique. After all, most of his time was spent trying to increase his cultivation level, including alchemy, adventuring in dangerous places, and even researching formations, all in an effort to improve his cultivation. He even studied formations as a backup plan in case his attempt at forming a core failed. He simply didn't have that much time to focus on martial arts.

The young man in fine clothes and with a curved sword had beads of sweat on his forehead. He had expended quite a bit of mana replenishing his supply. Compared to demon beasts, human cultivators lacked formidable physiques and innate divine abilities. However, they could compensate through various means.

"Miao Tian, retreat quickly!"

The woman in pink, called She-woman, was terrified. Her fighting spirit vanished completely. Emperor Kun could withstand the attack of a Dan Yuan magic weapon, his speed was incredible, and even that strange grayish-white orb could disable a sixth-rank Spirit Hawk in an instant. It was no wonder she felt this way. The burly elder from the Flying Cavalry Tribe wasn't weaker than her, perhaps even slightly stronger, but against this Emperor Kun, he had little resistance. He was directly killed in mid-air. The Spirit Hawk plummeted from the sky, its body landing heavily. It was probably mortally wounded. Even Dan Yuan Fire Thunder Arrows couldn't pose much threat to the Flying Sky Silver Corpse. She knew all about Miao Tian's abilities. Although it seemed that Miao Tian was evenly matched with Emperor Kun, as time dragged on, the situation would definitely become unfavorable for Miao Tian.

Her Flying Snake Staff's power was not as great as Dan Yuan Fire Thunder Arrows, and it paled in comparison to Miao Tian's Black Knife. It posed little threat either.

Besides, in her eyes, that silver-haired youth could kill several mounted warriors with ease between his hands. He killed both man and eagle without fail, even more terrifying than the flying silver corpse Emperor Dikun. If there was only the silver-haired youth, the three of them could fight him head-on. Now, with Dikun added to the mix, the people from the Flying Cavalry tribe either died or fled. They had no chance of winning. All that was left was to wait for death.

Even if he wanted to retreat now, he would have to ask the man with the knife in his hand for permission. After dealing with the Flying Cavalry Tribe's threat, Lu Xiaoteng turned back, flicked his wrist, and the Splitting Earth Blade flew out of his hand, carrying boundless momentum towards the back-stabbing Han wielding the Broken Knives.

Although Su Dao's attack power wasn't the strongest, and the large sword splitting into countless small knives wouldn't pose much of a threat to him, Dongfang Yi was already weak at this point. His state presented a fatal threat to Dongfang Yi, so Lu Xiaotian had to eliminate this crisis before it even began.

The blade's speed was like a thunderbolt, covering hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye and arriving before the shattered sword.

Suidao's face was shocked, he held the knife in both hands, channeling his magic to its limit. Facing this unstoppable, terrifying strike, he actually felt like he couldn't dodge it. With a roar, Suidao unleashed his strength, and the cracked long sword in his hand slashed across with a dazzling light, meeting the golden blade head-on.

Two completely different blades of chilling energy collided head-on, the fractured blade filled with cracks. This wind element magic weapon, however, did not become any less solid because of those cracks. In fact, the cultivator who forged this weapon was not only a blacksmith but also a master craftsman. He had combined countless small knives together, and within them were intricate mechanisms that moved according to the wielder's intent. Unless a Golden Core cultivator far superior in power intervened, this blade would remain intact, even if subjected to attacks. Only then could it be reforged from its fractured state.

At this time, as it collided with the crack-earth sword, the cracked blade did not show any sign of weakness. However, the back-sword wielding giant named "Broken Blade" flushed red, as if the force from the golden core was far beyond what his broken blade could withstand.

In a flash, the broken blade felt unstoppable. Startled, he hastily summoned two Earth Armor talismans. These talismans were also obtained from other cultivators. During this period, he had slain several foundation-building cultivators from the Moonlit Realm. The broken blade had accumulated quite a few good things in his hands as well.

The long knife in his hand was knocked away by the fierce and brutal golden knife, leaving him wide open. His body was directly exposed to the attack of the Splitting Earth Blade.

With a deafening boom! The earth-shattering strike that pierced the first layer of defense, the Earth Spirit Armor, still carried its momentum as it slashed into the second layer.

The second layer of Earth Spirit Armor bought a few extra breaths of time, but under the sharp blade energy and ferocious force, the Splitting Earth Blade still pierced through the second layer of defense, striking directly at the broken sword.

With a metallic clang, like striking jade, the blade of the knife sliced through the clothes on Suidao's body, revealing a pure azure silk armor underneath. It was a top-grade magic artifact! At this moment, Lie Di Dao's power had begun to wane; it hadn't managed to shatter this top-grade magic artifact. However, some of its force still transmitted through the silk armor and shook Suidao's body.

Shui Dao let out a terrible scream, his figure flying backward dozens of feet, spewing blood from his mouth.

The She-Demon stared in shock at the scene before her. Even Shardsword, who was roughly her equal in strength, couldn't withstand a single strike from the Silver-Haired youth. His blade had wounded Shardsword instantly, and though Shardsword flipped through the air, rejoining with Cleaving Earth in a flurry of attacks, it seemed that he hadn't suffered serious injury. He could still fight, but the power behind the Silver-Haired youth's attack was undeniable now.

Instead, after this golden elixir attack, the power seemed to have subsided quite a bit. Before being injured, the broken blade couldn't even block an opponent's sword, but after being injured, it managed to barely block the earth-splitting blade. This was naturally not because the broken blade became more courageous after being injured, but because the power of the earth-splitting blade had decreased significantly. The blade thrown just now, besides Lu Xiaottian as a late-stage foundation builder cultivator concentrating his mana, also had Lu Xiaottian's ferocious brute force as a physical cultivator. The two combined together, and the broken blade, as a late-stage foundation builder, was equivalent to directly bearing double its own strength, naturally unable to withstand it. He only survived by relying on the defensive talisman and the top-grade defensive magic weapon on his body.The earth-splitting blade that followed, Lu Xiaottian used his divine sense to control the sword, relying solely on mana, so its power was naturally greatly reduced. Compared to a normal late-stage foundation builder using a sword, there was no difference. Therefore, the broken blade actually blocked the attack of the earth-splitting blade. It's just that at this time, because he was injured by the previous blow, he inevitably had some restrictions for a while.Xia Tian would not abandon further cultivation of the Qingguo barrier just because it might pose some hidden dangers.It's fine to keep the current state of the Qingguo Barrier for now, before improvin...
