Chapter 346: Chapter 219 Jue Yuan_2
“Amitabha!” the towering monk proclaimed the Buddha’s name with his hands pressed together after slaying the Devil Cultivator.
He did not collect his spoils of war; instead, his gaze turned toward the direction of Li Yuanba.
It seemed Li Yuanba’s own gaze had triggered his awareness. Li Yuanba was aware of this, for with his perceptive abilities, he would have noticed if any cultivator were spying on him at such a distance.
Li Yuanba flashed out of the formation, the Gale Golden Light Sword emitting a fierce sword intent, transformed into an almost invisible sword light, shooting towards the towering monk.
He himself used the strength of his legs to widen the distance between them and the towering monk.
...
It seemed he feared closing the distance with the towering monk, who believed this as well, for it was by approaching within thirty meters that the monk had been able to release his deadly Buddha’s Secret Technique, and kill the Devil Cultivator at close range.
All of this Li Yuanba observed and naturally chose the most advantageous way to fight.
“Sword Cultivator!” Brightness flickered in the towering monk’s eyes. With a wave of his hand, a bronze bell appeared in front of him, blocking the attack from the Gale Golden Light Sword.
Li Yuanba’s heart skipped a beat. The Gale Golden Light Sword, under his control, had indeed struck the bronze bell Spiritual Artifact, but the sword intent had not been able to diminish its spiritual imprint.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, but he had also heard from his master, Elder Jian, that some Secret Techniques could strengthen spiritual imprints, greatly reducing the effectiveness of sword intent against them.
A reduction in effectiveness did not mean it was entirely futile. If once didn’t work, then ten times; if that wasn’t enough, then a hundred.
He felt not a trace of fear; instead, he was excited.
People have many facets. Some are shy in front of others but very open with friends; some enjoy solitude but also delight in boisterous gatherings.
Li Yuanba was a split spirit of Li Shiming, yet their personalities were not entirely alike.
Perhaps because Li Shiming’s safety was of utmost importance, he always acted very cautiously, rarely seeking out danger on his own.
But Li Shiming’s adventurous and combative spirit had been transferred to Li Yuanba, which related to Li Yuanba becoming a Sword Cultivator.
When considering Li Yuanba becoming a Sword Cultivator, it was understood that sword cultivators needed to be tempered through battle.
Therefore, when Li Yuanba first joined the Senluo Sect, he continuously undertook combat missions, which could well be a form of emotional release for Li Shiming—safety first for the original body, while the clone tackled the dangerous tasks.
Li Yuanba was eager to face a formidable enemy like the towering monk, such opponents were hard to come by.
The towering monk took a step forward and vanished as if he had disappeared, while Li Yuanba split a sword light, using the Sword Escape to rapidly change direction with himself.
This division of sword light was a basic flying sword technique found in many Sword Cultivator inheritances, but it was rarely used against formidable enemies.
Because once the sword light divides, its power is somewhat weakened.
And the divided sword light has a limited lethality against enemies of comparable strength.
The division of sword light was usually reserved for weaker opponents, as any single divided sword light could kill an enemy; it was most effective against a large number of weaker enemies when split into multiple sword lights.
Li Yuanba remained on alert, his experience against such powerful Great Cultivators was limited, so he took utmost care.
Even if the sword light’s power was diminished, he wanted to increase his own speed of movement.
Sword Escape ranked near the top for speed among all Escape Techniques. Just as he was moving at high speed in another direction, a white lotus appeared where he had originally been, along with the towering monk.
It should be noted that the distance between the towering monk and Li Yuanba had been over a hundred meters, and yet he moved to that spot in an instant, showing that the monk had not been exerting his full strength previously.
Li Yuanba was even more astounded by the monk’s terrifying movement technique, which could have a significant impact in both combat and pursuit situations.
The towering monk was also taken aback; he had not expected Li Yuanba to react so swiftly and anticipate his next move.
He slapped his palm onto the suspended bronze bell beside him.
The bronze bell emitted a coppery ring, and the sound waves did not scatter. Instead, under his control, they converged into an angle of about forty-five degrees, surging towards Li Yuan Ba’s side.
“Sound Wave Technique!” Li Yuan Ba’s Spiritual Thought detected the incoming sound waves.
Li Yuan Ba was very familiar with the Sound Wave Technique—or rather, Li Shiming’s original self was. He cultivated the ‘Devil Sound Lotus’ and even received the legacy of the Six-fingered Sound Demon.
Although he had not practiced the Six-fingered Sound Demon’s legacy, he had delved deeper into the research on Sound Wave Techniques.
The Gale Golden Light Sword appeared in front of him, vibrating under Li Yuan Ba’s control and emitting a sword sound.
The sword sound formed a wave in front of him, blocking the sound wave from the tall monk’s bronze bell.
“True Inheritor Jue Yuan of Qianye Temple has seen fellow Daoist. May I ask which True Disciple you are from Senluo Sect? How come I have never heard of you?” Jue Yuan Buddha suddenly spoke up, introducing himself and asking.
If the opponent were someone he could easily dispatch, there would be no privilege to converse.
The strength displayed by Li Yuan Ba had earned his recognition. Moreover, since Li Yuan Ba was a Sword Cultivator and not a Devil Cultivator with diametrically opposed intentions, his attitude naturally shifted.
“Li Yuan Ba, a person of no renown, has seen fellow Daoist!” Li Yuan Ba answered, while not forgetting to maintain a safe distance from Jue Yuan Buddha.
“It’s a pity that aside from Elder Jian, Senluo Sect has a pure Sword Cultivator!” Jue Yuan Buddha sighed.
Such a Sword Cultivator should appear in a Righteous Path Sect, not become an accomplice to the malevolent, aiding Devil Cultivators.
“Elder Jian is indeed my master!” Li Yuan Ba did not conceal this fact, believing that after this great battle, his status as a True Disciple would be known to all sects; hence, there was no need to hide anything.
“I must go all out now, I cannot allow you to grow further!” Jue Yuan Buddha said solemnly, hands joined together.
Desire for combat rose in his eyes. Elder Jian had killed an Arhat from Qianye Temple; that was a grave enmity. Since Li Yuan Ba was Elder Jian’s disciple, a part of that enmity naturally extended to him.
Moreover, they couldn’t allow such a Sword Cultivator to grow anymore, or else another Elder Jian would emerge, significantly boosting the strength of Senluo Sect.
Elder Jian is known as the foremost Golden Core assault power, and although there are a few Golden Core cultivators with equivalent reputations, the true strength ranking among them remains uncertain without an actual battle.
But once Elder Jian advances to Nascent Soul, he would inevitably be among the top existences among Nascent Souls, which is the terrifying aspect of Sword Cultivators.

If Li Yuan Ba’s talents allowed him to be accepted by Elder Jian as a disciple, then they must be exceptional indeed.
Elder Jian has always been without a disciple, which shows his strictness in accepting disciples.
At this moment, Jue Yuan Buddha had the intention to kill, no longer wishing to let Li Yuan Ba leave alive.
As True Inheritors, Jue Yuan had decades more in the True Disciple status than Li Yuan Ba, and with the gap in their realms, he was confident he could kill Li Yuan Ba.
As Jue Yuan Buddha spoke, his body emitted a golden light, and white lotuses surged from the ground.
The Earth Burst White Lotuses were spaced fifty meters apart, spreading out continuously, and soon they were nearly reaching Li Yuan Ba.
Jue Yuan Buddha’s figure disappeared from its original place, appearing atop the closest white lotus. As he moved, the Earth Burst White Lotuses spread faster with him at the center.
“What is this technique?” Li Yuan Ba retreated rapidly; he dared not enter the range of the white lotuses.
Jue Yuan Buddha’s technique didn’t seem like simple movement; it was more like teleporting between lotuses, completely void of any intermediate moving process. This made his figure extremely elusive, even giving the impression that one’s eyesight couldn’t keep up with his speed.
“You too are a True Inheritor, and a Sword Cultivator at that. How can you be afraid to battle me!” Jue Yuan Buddha shouted loudly.
His voice carried the effect of Buddha’s inspirational sound, which was originally meant for allies, but at this moment, it became his method of provocating.
