Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 875: Chapter 484: Ambush

This gathering made Li Shiming very disappointed, he just waited for the exchange session to exchange for the Fourth Grade Spirit Spring Water before leaving.

Just as he was at the gathering place, a Great Elder appeared beside his cave abode.

The Great Elder stood outside Li Shiming’s cave abode, quietly observing for a moment, then looked in the direction of the mountaintop.

He knew that today Yu Ancestor was not at Wuqing Mountain, and the other Nascent Soul Ancestor was in seclusion and could not appear no matter what happened.

Originally, the news of Yu Ancestor leaving Wuqing Mountain was not supposed to be known by outsiders, but this Great Elder had been monitoring Wuqing Mountain, paying attention to its situation through the intelligence agency.

Yu Ancestor leaving Wuqing Mountain gave him the best opportunity.

Although there was a grand formation at Wuqing Mountain, it was usually only for monitoring and would not completely lock down outsiders.

As long as one had the Wuqing Mountain Token, they could freely come and go.

In fact, the security at Wuqing Mountain was always maintained by the Nascent Soul Ancestor, not this grand formation.

The Great Elder made up his mind, for his own opportunity, even if it offended Wuqing Mountain, so what!

He suddenly stirred his Spiritual Power Pattern, and a flying sword appeared above his head, while a terrifying Great Elder aura rose from his body.

At this moment, he had no reservations, fully unleashing the entire combat power of a Great Elder.

What he needed to do was break through the defense of the cave abode with one strike, take the things and leave.

He had calculated everything, having also lured away the owner of the cave abode.

Wuqing Mountain’s grand formation detected a strong spiritual power fluctuation and immediately sounded an alarm.

However, it would still take some time for Wuqing Mountain’s defensive forces to arrive. The Great Elder smiled faintly, waved his hand forward, and the flying sword treasure, with terrifying momentum, slashed at the formation outside the cave abode.

With a ”boom,” something unexpected happened.

With his Great Elder combat power, a full force strike should absolutely be unstoppable by a Golden Core cultivator’s cave abode.

Not to mention a Golden Core cultivator’s cave abode, even if the Golden Core cultivator himself augmented with multiple defenses and used all means, he couldn’t block his full strike.

But when his flying sword treasure slashed against the formation of the cave abode, it just made the formation tremble slightly, and did not shatter as he had imagined.

Li Shiming was watching the exchanges of Golden Core cultivators at the gathering with boredom when he suddenly sensed something.

This was a warning from his clone, Li Yuanba, that a cultivator was attacking his cave abode.

With the help of his life-bound treasure, IBMz15, his thought process was extremely fast, and in just a breath, he understood the oddity of today’s gathering.

He coldly glanced at Yang Fu, his figure transformed into a lightning flash heading toward his cave abode.

Yang Fu felt a chill when Li Shiming glanced at him, as he had a guilty conscience.

The realm Li Shiming revealed to these late-stage Golden Core cultivators was just at the level of cultivating the ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture.’ If Li Shiming had shown himself to be at the Great Elder level, perhaps Yang Fu wouldn’t have dared to take actions for the sake of profit.

Yang Fu was also helpless, that Great Elder grasped some of his secrets, secrets enough to get him killed, forcing him to help divert Li Shiming.

In his thinking, it was not threatening Li Shiming’s safety, just finding an excuse to draw Li Shiming away for a while.

Perhaps Li Shiming wouldn’t even notice, and he could still seek him for alchemy afterward.

The Great Elder, unable to break through the formation defense of the cave abode with one strike, couldn’t help but feel anxious, knowing how rare this opportunity was.

In the decades under Yu Ancestor’s management, he had never left Wuqing Mountain, missing this chance could mean he might never again wait for Yu Ancestor to leave Wuqing Mountain.

He once again manipulated the flying sword treasure, injecting more spiritual power, slashing toward the cave abode’s formation.

Once, twice, thrice, within just a few breaths, he slashed three times.

Li Shiming’s cave abode formation revealed immense defense, constructed with eight Fourth Grade Array Flags and reinforced with three hundred and sixty-five Third Grade Array Flags.

It could withstand several attacks even from a Nascent Soul Ancestor, let alone this Great Elder.

As he prepared to strike the fourth sword, a lightning flashed into his perception range.

This lightning was directly falling toward the Great Elder, as Li Shiming had arrived, using a lightning attack on the Great Elder.

The Great Elder redirected the flying sword treasure, and with a wave of his hand, a shield treasure appeared in front of him, blocking the lightning.

At this moment, he understood that he had lost the chance and couldn’t stay here longer. Although Yu Ancestor was not at Wuqing Mountain, the mountain had numerous Golden Core cultivators. If surrounded, plus the grand formation activation, he could likely fall here.

Seeing it was not feasible, after blocking Li Shiming’s strike, he quickly retreated toward outside the mountain.

Li Shiming also felt constrained. His combat power naturally far exceeded that of the opponent, but he could only display Thunder Cultivator abilities, which hadn’t yet reached Great Elder level. Wanting to defeat this Great Elder was not feasible.

Seeing the Great Elder trying to escape was actually to his advantage.

”Where are you running!” Li Shiming shouted and chased after him.

”Master Li, don’t chase!” Yu An was rushing over and, seeing from a distance Li Shiming pursuing that Great Elder, he quickly shouted to remind.

But it was too late, Li Shiming’s Thunder Escape speed was extremely fast, disappearing into the distance almost simultaneously with that Great Elder.
