NOVEL NEXT Chapter 579: Ambush
Within the Fourth Grade Concealing Array, Zhang Hai suddenly started trembling all over.
Though he only had the strength of early-stage Foundation Establishment, the Nascent Soul his body fused with was actually a Nascent Soul of the Middle Stage.
Due to memory loss at the time of body seizing, Zhang Hai was completely unaware of the matter, only occasionally experiencing hallucinations in his mind.
The Secret Technique to tame the First-grade Bamboo Under Black Rabbit was something he learned from these visions, and he found it inexplicably easy to use.
He advanced from Qi Refining Middle Stage to early-stage Foundation Establishment thanks to this Secret Technique, and the spirit beasts he tamed became a popular commodity in the surrounding area, bringing him plenty of cultivation resources.
If it weren't for Li Shiming's appearance, perhaps Zhang Hai would have spent his life in a muddled state, not knowing of his past life.
Li Shiming brought him here and set up the Fourth Grade Concealing Array to ensure his safety, not expecting him to be able to sense Zhao Lingyu's aura.
Zhao Lingyu did not deliberately hide his aura; even if Zhang Hai lost his memories, it was engraved in his soul.
At first, Zhang Hai appeared confused, then he seemed to recall something.
"Zhao Lingyu, why did I think of this name, and why do I hate it so much?" he muttered to himself.
Just now, a series of memory fragments flashed through his mind. He hadn't recovered his memory, but the memory fragments caused cracks in his memory block.
If further stimulated, there's a high possibility that his memory would be restored.
Zhao Lingyu scanned with his Divine Sense three times but found nothing; the faint sense of danger seemed present, yet also like it was a figment of his imagination.
"Which fellow from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect is present?" he asked gravely.
He used a Secret Technique to project his voice far out.
He discovered nothing specific; it was a probe.
With the Sun Concealing Sect and the Ten Thousand Beast Sect's conflicts almost public, if there was a cultivator from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, they would confront him.
However, Li Shiming ignored Zhao Lingyu; his level was not as high as Zhao Lingyu's.
Besides, judging by Zhao Lingyu's acute sense of danger, his spirit was exceedingly formidable, eradicating even the advantage of attack range.
The gap between Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner and Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner seemed minor yet was vast like heaven and earth.
The Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner's mere domination by realm could severely hinder the combat power of the Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner, to the point that one with a weak spirit might find it impossible to counterattack.
Of course, Li Shiming had the 'Water Dragon Taoist Robe,' which allowed him a brief window to approach Zhao Lingyu.
But he had to use this time well, or else this ambush would be a joke.
IBMz15 devised multiple plans for him, each targeting Zhao Lingyu by exploiting his advantages.
If other cultivators knew Li Shiming planned to defeat Zhao Lingyu, who was Nascent Soul Middle Stage, with a Nascent Soul Early Stage level, they would surely call him mad.
Who was Zhao Lingyu? A top existence in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, especially from the Sun Concealing Sect, proficient in all kinds of schemes.
When Zhao Lingyu heard no response, he shook his head vigorously; he was even beginning to doubt whether the faint sense of danger was real or if he was being overly suspicious.
He glanced at the 'Thousand-Mile Sensing Plate;' Zhong Qiang was not far ahead, and he could not give up.
While on guard, he flew toward Zhong Qiang.
Suddenly, he sensed the aura of a Great Cultivator, and his face changed dramatically; without the slightest hesitation, he turned and fled.
To escape more quickly, he retracted the Fourth-grade High-stage Shield Treasure.
At the moment he pulled back the Fourth-grade High-stage Shield Treasure, four Fourth Grade Puppets fired their electromagnetic cannons from four hundred miles away.
Among the refining materials previously obtained, the Fourth Grade Intermediate Refining Material had been crafted into a Fourth Grade Top Cone-shaped Magical Treasure, yet the material issue prevented it from becoming an Artifact Tribulation Treasure.
This was to enhance the electromagnetic cannons' power, boosting their effectiveness by around three to four levels.
The simultaneous firing of four electromagnetic cannons shot out four Fourth Grade Cone-shaped Magical Treasures, calculated precisely by IBMz15, who had foreseen Zhao Lingyu's reaction to the Great Cultivator's aura.
This predicted Zhao Lingyu's fleeing move and brought the four Fourth Grade Cone-shaped Magical Treasures swiftly near him.
Zhao Lingyu's formidable spirit allowed him a much greater sensory range than ordinary Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners, giving him more reaction time.
He simultaneously activated three Intermediate Defense Talismans, offering a defense equivalent to Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners' Block Spell.
However, unlike practitioners who require some time to successfully cast a spell, the Intermediate Defense Talismans could be instantly activated.
The three Intermediate Defense Talismans formed three defensive spell shields. Just as the shields rose, the four Fourth Grade Cone-shaped Magical Treasures struck them.
The first defensive spell shield shattered at contact, and the second lasted only half a breath before breaking.
The four Fourth Grade Cone-shaped Magical Treasures then hit the third defensive spell shield, which withstood them.
Zhao Lingyu perceived the four Fourth Grade Cone-shaped Magical Treasures through his Divine Sense, and his expression looked exceedingly grim.
Earlier, sensing the aura of a Great Cultivator, and now seeing as many as four Fourth Grade Top Cone-shaped Magical Treasures, he couldn't help but speculate.
