Chapter 1067: Chapter 580: Slaying the Nascent Soul

Zhao Lingyu’s defensive magical treasures were shattered, and the residual force of the four fourth-grade conical magical treasures continued to strike the protective spell shield, which was already seriously damaged, causing it to disappear instantly.

The remaining power of the four fourth-grade conical magical treasures continued to shoot towards Zhao Lingyu’s body.

The light on his robe flickered, and with a sizzling sound, the fourth-grade magical robe turned into fragments, yet the final power of the four fourth-grade conical magical treasures was counteracted.

It was not that the electromagnetic cannon power of the four fourth-grade puppets was weak; rather, its boundary-crossing combat ability, able to achieve such results, was already extraordinary.

Refining a fourth-grade puppet with a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivation level, its core could only emit the power equivalent to a fourth-grade primary level, which equates to a Nascent Soul Early Stage combat power.

Fortunately, using top-level fourth-grade conical magical treasures as ammunition for the electromagnetic cannon can enhance its power to a degree capable of threatening Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators.

However, this threat to Nascent Soul Middle Stage is only ordinary strength among them, and against someone like Zhao Lingyu with such elite Nascent Soul Middle Stage combat power, it’s a bit lacking.

Only by having four fourth-grade puppets attack simultaneously could Zhao Lingyu be in such a predicament.

Zhao Lingyu was drenched in cold sweat, with all his defensive means broken, not even saving the robe on his body.

The four fourth-grade puppets shooting the fourth-grade conical magical treasures, based on their attack direction, were beyond his sight.

He also gauged the attack frequency of these four fourth-grade puppets, fearing that they would strike again within moments.

Fear gripped him, and he prepared to display his Nascent Soul Dharma Form.

If he didn’t reveal his Nascent Soul Dharma Form soon, he feared he wouldn’t be able to defend against the next attack from the four fourth-grade puppets.

Just as he prepared to manifest his Nascent Soul Dharma Form, his mind tightened, and his life-saving secret method automatically activated.

His body turned from solid to virtual; this was the Sun Concealing Sect’s life-saving secret technique, converting his body into a ghost form to immune to most attacks.

Right as Zhao Lingyu’s body transformed from solid to virtual, a flying sword suddenly appeared close to his body.

To say it appeared is inaccurate, because the actual flying sword didn’t manifest; what showed was the spiritual power pattern and sword intent within the sword, which for Nascent Soul cultivators is equivalent to the sword becoming apparent.

This was Li Shiming’s trump card, the top-level fourth-grade magical treasure ’Traceless Illusion Sword,’ and one of his lifebound magical treasures.

Driven by the Gold Thunder Nascent Soul using the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique,’ this strike was definitely a pinnacle attack of an early-stage Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator.

Besides, the ’Traceless Illusion Sword,’ as a top-level fourth-grade lifebound magical treasure, contained ninety million sharp runes and ten million sharp formations, essentially making ’Traceless Illusion Sword’ capable of breaking through anything to a certain degree.

Analyzing Zhao Lingyu’s power, Li Shiming reckoned Zhao Lingyu couldn’t withstand the sudden close-range blow of the ’Traceless Illusion Sword.’

Still, he underestimated the strength of a core disciple from a great sect; even in the most perilous moment, Zhao Lingyu had trump cards preventing ’Traceless Illusion Sword’ from severely injuring him.

Though he didn’t severely injure Zhao Lingyu, Zhao Lingyu wasn’t entirely unscathed, just lightly hurt.

’Traceless Illusion Sword’ pierced through Zhao Lingyu’s virtualized body, with most of the strike’s power being immunized, the one part immune couldn’t counter was ’Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent.’

But the real harm came from the sharpness of ’Traceless Illusion Sword,’ with the damage from ’Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent’ being quite limited.

It’s not that Zhao Lingyu’s life-saving secret method was powerful, but that the gap in their cultivation levels caused Li Shiming’s attack to become a cross-boundary attack; the sharpness of ’Traceless Illusion Sword’ could bypass levels to harm Zhao Lingyu, yet ’Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent’ encountered difficulty in injuring Zhao Lingyu among the top-tier Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Li Shiming was slightly startled, yet did not halt his assault.

The lifebound magical treasure IBMz15 had preparatory plans for any battle eventuality, although the first deployment of ’Traceless Illusion Sword’ didn’t meet expected outcomes, his attacks were far from limited to just that.

With a subtle change of mind, he released the body of Great Cultivator Zhao Qingfeng from the machine room space, which was controlled by Heavenly Ghost.

He released Great Cultivator Zhao Qingfeng’s body behind Zhao Lingyu.

Zhao Lingyu was still in the transformation from solid to virtual, with his speed dramatically slowed - a flaw of this life-saving secret method - yet considering the cultivation level difference with Li Shiming, just maintaining this state meant he could immunize most of Li Shiming’s attack effects.

He had already sent messages to another two Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners within the sect, awaiting their arrival, at which time not only would he not worry about his safety, but instead leverage their combined power to capture Li Shiming.

However, he never imagined that Li Shiming’s tactics would be so rich, beyond his expectations.

Suddenly sensing a powerful cultivator’s presence, followed by Great Cultivator Zhao Qingfeng’s body embracing him.

Even though his body was virtualized, caught within Great Cultivator Zhao Qingfeng’s embrace it rendered all virtual attempts useless.

Zhao Lingyu felt his body lose all function from the embrace.

Right then, Li Shiming utilized ’Zhi Chi Tian Ya’ to arrive beside Zhao Lingyu, preparing to release the ’Silver Wing Spirit Moth.’

Zhao Lingyu made decisive action, without hesitation, performing a Nascent Soul Emergence, fleeing towards the distance.

”Trying to escape!” Li Shiming called out lightly, employing the Divine Foot Skill ’Zhi Chi Tian Ya,’ a move needing no prep time, facilitated by the coordination of ten minds in the battle state.
