Chapter 731: Chapter 412 Sparring

Li Yuanba, along with the white lotus under his feet, disappeared, causing the Fire Phoenix to miss and explode where he had been standing, transforming into a sea of flames.

The Wisdom Fire Arhat’s second Fire Phoenix was released but was momentarily unable to lock onto Li Yuanba’s figure.

That was because Li Yuanba’s figure was elusive, continually appearing and disappearing at various places across the battlefield within a short span of time.

Li Yuanba’s Xingyi Sword shot out, slashing towards the Wisdom Fire Arhat, who was protected by a barrier formed by a Fire Dragon, a transformation of the Fire Dragon Cover magical treasure.

When the Xingyi Sword struck the Fire Dragon barrier, it received a backlash of fire properties.

However, this backlash was immediately cleansed by the Sword Intent on the Xingyi Sword itself, indicating that the Fire Dragon Cover was not merely a defensive treasure but also featured a counter-attack capability.

Regarding magical treasures, even though Li Yuanba had started cultivation hundreds of years later than the Wisdom Fire Arhat, the Xingyi Sword had been refined for centuries by its previous master, the Sword Cultivator Yun Xingyi. Therefore, it was not only comparable but also superior to the Arhat’s treasure.

Sword Cultivators refine their lifebound magical treasures exclusively, unlike other cultivators who must also attend to their other treasures. Since the strongest aspect of Sword Cultivators is their flying swords, the energy they invest into a single flying sword exceeds what other cultivators would distribute across multiple treasures.

So, in terms of magical treasures, Li Yuanba was not much inferior to the Wisdom Fire Arhat. The Xingyi Sword, bolstered by the "Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique," was formidable enough to command the Arhat’s respect, despite Li Yuanba’s slightly lower realm.

The Wisdom Fire Arhat, feeling the feedback from the Fire Dragon Cover, was slightly surprised.

Originally, he had thought that Li Yuanba would engage him using Body Refinement skills, but he had not expected Li Yuanba’s flying sword to be so fierce.

Li Yuanba’s Sword Intent carried the essence of the blazing sun, not at all typical of a cultivator from the Demon Sect, and indeed more righteous than those from the righteous Taoist sects.

The Wisdom Fire Arhat, who cultivated a fire-attribute Buddhist cultivation technique, found his spiritual power subtly overpowered by Li Yuanba’s Supreme Yang Sword Intent during their treasure’s clash.

Had it not been for his status as a Great Elder, it might have been possible for the Fire Dragon Cover to be breached by Li Yuanba’s attacks.

He was familiar with the "Step by Step Lotus," which left him feeling rather helpless.

His fire-attribute Buddhist cultivation technique had powerful offensive capabilities, ranking him high even among Great Elders.

However, no matter how powerful the attack, it needed to hit the target to be effective, but in the presence of the "Step by Step Lotus" Divine Foot Skill, no attack seemed to reach Li Yuanba.

Even when he used self-detonation of the Fire Phoenix, it had no effect whatsoever.

The battle took on a bizarre quality, with Li Yuanba appearing randomly in various parts of the battlefield, rendering the Wisdom Fire Arhat’s attacks completely ineffective, while the Xingyi Sword continued its relentless assault.

The Nascent Soul Ancestors present understood that the battle, if continued in this manner, could not be resolved.

Li Yuanba’s Xingyi Sword was unable to break through the Wisdom Fire Arhat’s Fire Dragon Cover, and the Wisdom Fire Arhat was likewise unable to land a hit on Li Yuanba.

However, they were also waiting to see when Li Yuanba would employ his Body Refinement attack, since only through his Great Elder-level Body Refinement would he truly be able to harm the Wisdom Fire Arhat.

Li Yuanba, however, was not in any rush; he enjoyed the fight, considering such an opponent rare and allowing him to use his Lifebound Flying Sword without any reservations.

In controlling the attacks of his Lifebound Flying Sword, his understanding of the "Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique" and Sword Intent itself deepened.

The "Divine Eye Skill" was activated without revealing any external aura, making it undetectable to even the Venerable Huike present at the scene.

The spiritual power circuits within the Fire Dragon Cover and the densely scattered Fire Phoenixes in the sky were observed by Li Yuanba through the "Divine Eye Skill."

Standing by, the original body, Li Shiming, also used the "Divine Eye Skill" with more directness, and with the assistance of the Lifebound Treasure IBMz15, he analyzed the spiritual power nodes of the Fire Dragon Cover and Fire Phoenixes faster than Li Yuanba’s incarnation.

Just as the Nascent Soul Ancestors thought the fight would stall into a sustained deadlock until Li Yuanba initiated a Body Refinement attack, a sudden thrust of the Xingyi Sword pierced a Fire Phoenix next to the Wisdom Fire Arhat.

Now, thirty-six Fire Phoenixes conjured by the Wisdom Fire Arhat adorned the battlefield, making their presence felt everywhere.

The Fire Phoenix next to the Wisdom Fire Arhat was struck by the Xingyi Sword and detonated with a ’boom.’

This explosion was unexpected for the Wisdom Fire Arhat, as it was not controlled by him.

The Fire Phoenix was his attack spell, noted for its flexibility and power, his most adept fire attribute secret technique in which he had immersed himself for centuries—it was unfathomable that such an error could occur.

And this accidental explosion of the Fire Phoenix, due to its loss of control, also impacted the Wisdom Fire Arhat.

The Wisdom Fire Arhat’s external Fire Dragon Cover was affected by the explosion, which, if occurring only once, would not pose much threat to the Fire Dragon Cover.

But the Xingyi Sword struck again, piercing another Fire Phoenix close to the Wisdom Fire Arhat.

Strangely, this Fire Phoenix also exploded, and the Wisdom Fire Arhat was caught within the blast radius.

Even though the Wisdom Fire Arhat adjusted the Fire Phoenixes to move away from him, four Fire Phoenixes were still detonated by the Xingyi Sword.
