Chapter 571: Senior
When the Supreme Yang Sword Intent touched the Spiritual Power Wall, the terrifying aura within it suddenly erupted.
The unparalleled Sword Intent, with an unstoppable momentum, instantly shattered the Spiritual Power Wall, and without any hesitation, slashed towards the fourth-grade flying boat.
This unexpected turn of events made the three Nascent Soul cultivators freeze in shock. They couldn't fathom how the Sword Intent, which belonged to a Golden Core Great Elder just moments ago, transformed into such a terrifying force.
Due to the Sword Intent's eruption, its power not only experienced a great increase but its speed also suddenly multiplied several times, causing it to strike the fourth-grade flying boat directly.
It was only due to the rapid reaction of the three Nascent Soul cultivators that they managed to flash out of the fourth-grade flying boat.
However, the fourth-grade flying boat was slashed into pieces by that Sword Intent. If their speed had been even slightly slower, they might have ended up like the flying boat.
Fear appeared on the faces of the three Nascent Soul cultivators as they glanced around.
"Senior, if we have offended you in any way, please forgive us!" one of the Nascent Soul cultivators said loudly.
Li Yuanba was startled, realizing that to be addressed as 'Senior' by a Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioner meant the person must be a Middle Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
From the drone satellite system, he hadn't detected any approaching Nascent Soul cultivators. So where did this practitioner come from?
The three Nascent Soul cultivators hovered in the void with Li Yuanba, not daring to make a move against him, nor did Li Yuanba use the life-saving Jade Talisman to escape.
Li Yuanba thought to himself that since this senior had intervened to help him, the danger shouldn't be too great.
Besides, as a Golden Core Great Elder, he might be considered a figure in the Golden Core Stage but in front of a Middle Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he genuinely counted for little.
"Didn't you say it was like scratching an itch? How does that itch feel?" A figure appeared rapidly near the three Nascent Soul cultivators, speaking to them indifferently.
Seeing this cultivator, Li Yuanba realized it was a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator.
Due to the connection with the original Li Shiming, he shared his experiences, enabling him to recognize the Nascent Soul Middle Stage realm.
From this Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator, he also felt an extremely familiar aura.
"Senior, I was referring to that Golden Core junior, not you!" the previously speaking Nascent Soul cultivator hurriedly explained.
He felt extremely wronged; it was merely a verbal spat during the pursuit, how did a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator intervene and reproach them?
Yet he dared not blame the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator. Someone of that caliber, a casual sword strike could be something the three of them together could not withstand.
"You bully the disciples of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and scorn our Sword Intent. I'll give you ten breaths to prepare. I'll send just one Sword Intent, and if you can withstand it, I'll let it go!" the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator said in a stern voice.
Li Yuanba, hearing this, finally understood where the familiarity came from and realized how the other party could merge his Sword Intent into his.
It turned out to be a senior from the 'Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.' Being in the Dongqi Continent, he had forgotten he was still a disciple of the 'Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.'
Only then did he remember, although 'Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion' was not in the Dongqi Continent, the Sword Cultivators of the 'Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion' traveled widely. It was quite normal to encounter a fellow disciple in the Dongqi Continent.
"Junior Li Yuanba greets Senior!" Li Yuanba bowed and said.
"I did not expect to meet a fellow sect disciple here. Who is your master?" The Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator turned and smiled at Li Yuanba, asking.
"My master is named Jian Wuwei," Li Yuanba replied.
"Jian Wuwei is still alive?" the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator said with surprise.
He casually conversed with Li Yuanba, unconcerned about any moves from the three Nascent Soul cultivators.
The three Nascent Soul cultivators glanced at each other, not daring to flee.
Escaping in front of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator was entirely unrealistic. Sword Cultivators were adept in speed, truly fleeing might mean losing even the last sliver of hope for survival.
In contrast, the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator offering them the chance to defend, sending a single Sword Intent, might grant them a slim chance of survival.
All three Nascent Soul cultivators summoned their defense artifacts. Unfortunately, none of them were wealthy Nascent Soul cultivators; their strongest defense artifact was merely mid fourth-grade.
Still wary, they consecutively cast defense spells, layering multiple defenses upon themselves.
"Master is doing well, has become a Nascent Soul cultivator, and has returned to the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion!" Li Yuanba replied respectfully.
The fact that the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator knew his master made Li Yuanba feel even more at ease.
"Jian has also advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage!" the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator said with a smile. He glanced at Li Yuanba, shaking his head, "Jian's disciples are all at the Great Elder realm, so Jian reaching the Nascent Soul Stage makes sense. His talent is quite good; had it not been for unforeseen circumstances, he should have long since broken through in the pavilion!"
The Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator smiled, and just then, the ten breaths were up, remembering what he had previously said.
With a wave of his hand, a Sword Intent shot toward the three Nascent Soul cultivators.
The three Nascent Soul cultivators then displayed their Nascent Soul Dharma Forms, with defense barrier formed by the defense artifact in front of the Dharma Forms, and protective spell lights on their bodies.
For greater safety, the three Nascent Soul Dharma Forms stood together, effectively layering three defenses with their artifacts.
In front of them were offensive artifacts, though they did not initiate an attack, planning to use them as defensive artifacts to intercept the Sword Intent.
