This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

The Demon Race, with its strict hierarchy, boasts discipline that surpasses the Human Race.

Even if someone harbors different thoughts, once the strategy is set, they immediately synchronize their steps.

Huang Yang waved his hand directly, then without hesitation, led the retreat.

The retreat was indeed tactical.

They didn't scatter and flee, but instead gathered into a group, withdrawing orderly and uniformly.

Lu Qingshan saw the Demon Race withdrawing so decisively, yet he didn't completely relax, furrowing his brow as he watched the demonic cultivators retreat.

"The leader is indeed a smart one."

Because, these demonic cultivators, though they retreated, did not fully withdraw.

They were retreating, but not in a panicked rush, instead maintaining a steady pace backward.

Some wielded defensive treasure artifacts, guarding against an ambush by Lu Qingshan.

The second group initiated the Mysterious Flag Micro Light Formation, a tracking formation, with the purpose of keeping a close eye on Lu Qingshan, preventing him from slipping away.

The demonic cultivators kept a safe distance from Lu Qingshan, ready to attack or defend.

This was akin to a pack of wolves hunting large prey; one-on-one they were no match, and rushing headlong in might succeed in killing the prey, but with significant losses.

Thus, the hunting strategy of wolves is to follow their targeted large prey from afar,

further harassing with guerrilla tactics, in a way like grinding them down until the prey becomes exhausted, its combat power diminished, before swarming in.

Now, these First Tribulation realm demonic cultivators planned to use this method to "hunt" Lu Qingshan.

Moreover, knowing the mysterious divine skills of the Heart Demon tribe, Lu Qingshan was certain these demonic cultivators wouldn't merely keep their distance, waiting for him to show a flaw.

They must be waiting for reinforcements.

However, seeing the situation, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but smile.

"If I hadn't scared you off, I would worry about whether I could escape safely in my current state.

Had I really frightened you away, I'd feel a little regret.

This retreat-with-no-intent-to-retreat approach, however, suits me perfectly."

He muttered to himself.

Lu Qingshan never intended to let these demonic cultivators go.

On the other hand, Huang Yang, with a sinister look, stared at Lu Qingshan from afar, a murderous intent gleaming in his eyes, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply.

The hatred in his heart towards this sword cultivator who killed their lord was beyond words.

He was further annoyed with himself for not following the lord's orders to stand by watching, and thought that even if he had been scolded by Tian Mang later, he should have rushed to capture this Human Race sword cultivator.

If he had done so, there wouldn't be so many troubles now.

With their lord of Eighth Grade standing in front bearing the brunt, and their assistance on the side, this sword cultivator would never have found the chance to instantly kill the lord, and they would have slowly worn him down to death.

A Seventh Realm sword cultivator might briefly match the explosive power of an Eighth Realm cultivator, but in terms of endurance, it's a fantasy to think he could compete with so many Eighth Realms.

This was not underestimating Lu Qingshan, as some things are just the Heavenly Dao principles that are hard to reverse.

"Lu Qingshan..." Huang Yang kept muttering this name, "This person must be a super prodigy of the Human Race, and not unknown outside.

It's just a pity that we have been living in seclusion here for so long without hearing of him."

"Still, as I anticipated, seeing our actions, he would either turn around to hunt us or immediately speed up to shake us off..."

"Yet, he chose neither, lingering here as if waiting for something..."

"While we're waiting for reinforcements, what is he waiting for?"

Not far away, the stunning lady in palace attire, who had distracted Tian Mang earlier, eerily appeared again, controlling her sword to take Lu Qingshan further into the Great Wilderness.

Their speed was not fast, fully dismissing these people.

Lu Qingshan stood still, eyes closed, meditating in the Sword Light, doing who knows what.

"Could it be an empty city tactic?" Huang Yang watched Lu Qingshan in the Sword Light intently, feeling uneasy, constantly judging in his mind.

......

What was Lu Qingshan waiting for?

The answer was actually quite simple.

In the understanding of both the Human and Demon races, once cultivators complete a major breakthrough, they need a period of time to settle themselves, becoming familiar with the formidable power after advancement.

This is an indispensable settling phase.

But that is only true for general cultivators.

For Lu Qingshan, who possesses "Deep Blue," once he completes a major breakthrough, he ushers in not a settling phase, but a transformation phase of greatly enhanced combat power.

Lu Qingshan opened the panel.

Rows of small gleaming words flickered continuously, shimmering like flowing water.

"You have opened the Law Domain!"

"The specific attributes of the Law Domain are as follows:.... (omitted)"

"You have mastered the [Great Xia Scripture] (Integration Chapter)!"

"Your rank has risen to Integration!"

"Your Element Force has increased, Element Force value upper limit raised by 100,000!"

"Your talent [Element Force Mastery] has transformed into [Three Flowers Gathering at the Top]!"

[Three Flowers Gathering at the Top]: The spirit, qi, and essence merge as one.

You, having advanced to the Body Integration Realm, can integrate cultivation, qi-blood, and Primordial Spirit, thereby enhancing your cultivation foundation.

"You have gained the rank bonus of [Integration]: Your Divine Sense has increased by +1000!"

"Meanwhile, for every small rank advancement in the Integration Realm, the increase in Divine Sense will be: +500!"
