Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1101: Chapter 1019: Excellent_2

”There’s no helping it. Who made the conditions offered by the Zhang Family so tempting, and you guys were too proud to send someone to make contact with us?” Li Zhirui said with a faint smile, showing no signs of nervousness as he was about to face a formidable enemy.

Actually, if those three families were willing to cooperate with the Li family, even if the conditions were slightly worse, the Li family could have accepted. But they didn’t come at all!

Moreover, the members of the Li family who were sent to make secret contacts were rejected before they even finished stating their conditions.

That being the case, the Li family naturally had no other choice.

The timing for the great battle between the two sides was perfect, and the Li family, as a newly emerged Integration power with just Li Zhirui as their member, could also benefit from it.

”Hahahaha, are you implying that with your participation, the Zhang Family will win this great battle?” The cultivator laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, tears streaming down his face.

”Then let me see where this confidence of yours comes from!”

With that said, the cultivator moved like a streak of light and instantly appeared in front of Li Zhirui.

Bang!

But before he could make a move, he was smashed away by a giant tree summoned by Li Zhirui. This sudden turn of events caught the man completely off guard and was nothing like what he had imagined.

”This is impossible! How could a cultivator who has just achieved Integration possess such immense power?” The cultivator yelled in shock.

”The world is full of wonders. Just because you have limited experience doesn’t mean they don’t exist,” Li Zhirui mocked.

”Very well! Let me experience your strength for myself!”

The cultivator, angered by Li Zhirui’s words, furiously circulated his mana, intending to deliver a fatal strike to Li Zhirui.

A giant red banner emerged, radiating spirit light, and instantly turned the surroundings into a sea of fire, trapping Li Zhirui in the middle, with incessant attacks coming his way as if they intended to use such a foolish method to grind him down to death.

Unfortunately for them, they were going to be disappointed!

Li Zhirui’s spells were relentless, and water vapor from tens of miles around surged crazily, forming thick dark clouds overhead, followed by a downpour.

If it had been just ordinary rain, it naturally wouldn’t have been able to extinguish this ocean of spiritual fire, but once manipulated by Li Zhirui’s hand, it became different—it contained Mysterious Yin Cold Qi!

Sizzling—

Anew conflict erupted between water and fire, with a large amount of smoke rising into the sky, shrouding everything nearby and obscuring everyone’s line of sight.

”Cough, cough!”

But it didn’t take long for the cultivator to flee the thick fog with injuries all over his body, his eyes filled with terror.

”Senior brother, what happened to you?” The Integration cultivator beside him couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

A fight between two Integration cultivators isn’t supposed to end so quickly or be resolved so swiftly, and most importantly, their senior brother was injured!

”Cough!” The cultivator couldn’t help coughing, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, looking seriously injured.

He didn’t even dare to close his eyes now because as soon as he did, he would remember how he was brutally beaten by Li Zhirui in the fog!

It was at the moment their eyes met that Li Zhirui wasn’t familiar with his strength and just tested him out a bit. Once he figured out his strength, Li Zhirui gained a complete upper hand.

”Be careful, he is not an ordinary Integration cultivator. You must not underestimate him just because he has just achieved Integration. If you dare to do so, then I am your lesson!” The cultivator said with a bitter expression.

He couldn’t imagine how, despite being superior in both realm and cultivation, he was so far outclassed in combat power compared to Li Zhirui.

The other cultivators, not having personally experienced it, couldn’t quite understand what was said, even feeling that their appearance in such a sorry state was embarrassing—not because Li Zhirui was too strong, but because their own strength was too weak.

But very soon, those Integration cultivators who did not take Li Zhirui seriously all received an unforgettable lesson, one that could not be erased.

None of these cultivators were a match for Li Zhirui, and their dishevelment was beyond description!

It wasn’t that no cultivator tried to struggle; many methods were employed, but they just couldn’t defeat Li Zhirui.

”Li Zhirui is just someone who has recently broken through to the early stages of Integration, and after so many rounds of battle, he can still maintain his initial state, this is too strange!”

”He must have a very precious treasure in his hands!” The eyes of someone watching were brimming with greed.

But they had not considered that if their own strength was lacking, how would they be able to snatch the treasure from Li Zhirui’s hands?

Meanwhile, up in the air, Li Zhirui, having experienced several battles, was not only foregoing rest but also continuously guarding against that group of cultivators.

This was the disadvantage of being outnumbered, as the enemy could wear him down with repeated attacks. Knowing well this could bring danger upon himself, he had no choice but to accept the challenge.

”Too terrifying! This power is too terrifying!” Zhang Feixia, not far away, witnessed everything and screamed hysterically.

The power displayed by Li Zhirui completely overturned his past impressions of a newly advanced Integration cultivator, and having come from a similar path, he understood all too well the immensity of the challenge.

Suddenly, Zhang Feixia thought of the plan his family intended to implement against the Zhang Family, becoming anxious and resolved to stop it!

This momentary distraction allowed his opponent to seize the opportunity and leave several wounds on his body.

”Damn it!”

Zhang Feixia instantly snapped back to reality, realizing how foolish he had been to let his attention wander amid battle.

On another battlefield!

Since changing his Cultivation Technique, Da Qing, currently second in rank within his family and as a giant Devil Beast possessed considerable mana and powerful combat abilities, faced no real challenge from creatures of the same realm. Besides, with a Formation obstructing them, those cultivators trying to breach it found it not an easy task to accomplish.

Da Qing showed little interest in the war, as his Dao did not lie here, but the excitement among other clan members was palpable.

For them, each great battle was a highly effective trial that could enhance their Realm and Cultivation. Even though the improvements were not substantial, at their current level, every small step forward was a cause for celebration.

The performance of the Li family members had also caught the attention of the Zhang Family. Nobody expected that cultivators from minor families could show such outstanding prowess, even outshining theirs, which was something certain members found hard to accept.

If not for the continuous attacks from external enemies and an insecure defense line, the Zhang Family cultivators would most likely already be troubling the Li family.

Although the number of Li family members in the battle was not large, they significantly affected the situation on the battlefield. This caused the attacking group of cultivators to fail in breaching the defenses, suffering heavy casualties and ultimately forcing them to retreat to a safe area for healing and recovery.

This battle concluded, but another was soon beginning anew.

”Interesting, one of you couldn’t beat me, and now two of you want to join forces to take me on?” Li Zhirui said with a light chuckle as he looked at two Integration cultivators appearing not far from him.

Both individuals had rather ordinary appearances, and if there was anything special about them, it was perhaps the depth in their eyes.

One of them spoke up: ”We must admit, we were shortsighted, having previously overlooked such a prodigious Daoist like yourself. It was our mistake. Now we hereby invite you to join us, offering an increase of thirty percent on top of whatever the Zhang Family has promised you, as a gesture of apology.”

”Hahahaha!”

Li Zhirui burst into laughter upon hearing this, but ultimately, he shook his head and sighed, saying, ”You’ve come too late. The Li family has already signed a Daoist Scroll with the Zhang Family; we cannot break our oath.”

”It seems we still have to fight one more round!”

One of them also sighed. If possible, they did not wish to engage with Li Zhirui. His strength, evident from the injuries sustained by the elders who had battled him, did not at all mirror that of a newly advanced Integration cultivator, but rather that of an old monster who had been cultivating for many years.
