Chapter 752: Chapter 422 Supression_2

A sonic boom appeared in front of the staff treasure, and it seemed to disregard spatial distance, as it appeared in front of Li Shiming after the swing.

The distance of over a hundred meters, Great Elder Sun Ao arrived in an instant, which was virtually indistinguishable from close quarters.

Li Shiming realized why even the Wisdom Fire Arhat could not withstand Great Elder Sun Ao for even five breaths.

Great Elder Sun Ao’s short-range burst speed was simply too fast, for someone like Wisdom Fire Arhat who was a Fire Cultivator, once gotten close by a Body Refining Grand Elder, the consequences were extremely tragic.

Not to mention that the Body Refining Techniques practiced by Great Elder Sun Ao were extremely advanced, overwhelmingly surpassing the Wisdom Fire Arhat in technique level, leaving the Wisdom Fire Arhat who was unaware of Sun Ao’s details without any power to fight back.

Li Shiming was able to think so much while facing such a powerful presence as Great Elder Sun Ao because he had the natal treasure IBMz15.

Not only did he think of a lot in his mind, but under the combined effect of ’Divine Vision’ and the natal treasure IBMz15, every move of Great Elder Sun Ao was clearly visible to Li Shiming.

Although his Body Refinement strength was not as formidable as that of Great Elder Sun Ao, he was still able to achieve the speed required by his natal treasure IBMz15.

In this world, under one-on-one close combat, no Golden Core cultivator was a match for Li Shiming, and this was not an empty boast.

The natal treasure IBMz15 precisely analyzed and predicted the attack trajectory of the staff treasure in Great Elder Sun Ao’s hands, and suggested several response strategies.

Li Shiming’s body slightly shifted, causing Great Elder Sun Ao’s staff treasure to miss its mark.

Great Elder Sun Ao, with eyes filled with disbelief, had been confident in his strike, which should have hit, but Li Shiming’s seemingly unintentional movement at the last moment caused his attack to miss.

The staff treasure was just an inch away from causing severe damage to Li Shiming, yet it was this slight gap that rendered the attack ineffective.

Li Shiming’s Third Grade Sword Base swept out, feeling a resistance coming through it.

Great Elder Sun Ao retreated vigorously like he had been electrocuted, retreating back a hundred meters.

On his chest, there appeared a long sword mark, caused by the Third Grade Sword Base.

But unfortunately, this strike left only a shallow mark, without even cutting through the skin, let alone injuring his internal organs.

What made Great Elder Sun Ao uncomfortable was partly Li Shiming’s swordsmanship, which was too eerie; it looked like a casual sweep, yet he couldn’t even dodge in time and was struck.

On the other hand, the Sword Intent within the Third Grade Sword Base was too terrifying, containing the essence of Heavenly Thunder within Li Shiming’s Sword Intent.

Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent, the cultivators who encounter this Sword Intent for the first time all harbor fear, as each cultivator who has survived a Heavenly Tribulation can never forget the might of Heavenly Thunder.

This strike by Li Shiming reminded Great Elder Sun Ao of a not so pleasant memory from the past.

"Master Li, your swordsmanship is exceptional, and your Sword Intent is even more unique!" Great Elder Sun Ao, watching Li Shiming, praised aloud.

"You flatter me, please continue to enlighten me!" Li Shiming, pointing at Great Elder Sun Ao with his Third Grade Sword Base, said with a smile.

In fact, he was immensely shocked in his heart. That strike seemed ordinary, but it was indeed his full-strength hit, infused with his Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent and a large amount of Spiritual Power, paired with Great Elder-level Body Refining strength, he had expected it to heavily injure Great Elder Sun Ao.

However, the actual effect was only a shallow wound.

Were it not for the effectiveness of the Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent, perhaps the wound would have already started to heal.

Great Elder Sun Ao, feeling the Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent in the wound, slapped his hand powerfully on the wound site, dispersing the Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent from his body along with splashing blood, suffering some blood loss in the process.

Li Shiming’s Golden Core Realm was still too low; even though he possessed the Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent, he couldn’t use its effect to continuously impact Great Elder Sun Ao.

Once the Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent was expelled, the wound on Great Elder Sun Ao’s body closed visibly fast and soon healed completely.

The Body Refining Grand Elder only needed to ensure that his injuries were not in vital areas, as such minor wounds could heal themselves with his powerful recovery abilities.

"Master Li, you are strong, but as I’ve said before, the level of your cultivation technique is too low!" Great Elder Sun Ao’s eyes showed solemnity, yet his words still carried disdain.

This time, Li Shiming lunged forward as he spoke, executing a short sprint to appear right before him.

With a thrust of his Third Grade Sword Base, Jiang Shu, who was nearby, turned pale, his gaze vacant, his body utterly devoid of strength.

Jiang Shu was not only terrified; the combat strength of both Li Shiming and Great Elder Sun Ao had exceeded his imagination. He was indeed frightened, but what affected him most was the dreadful pressure emanating from the two Body Refining Grand Elders.

He was just a minor Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator, and one who hadn’t received powerful inheritance at that.

Any Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator from the six major sects could easily defeat him.

Yet, this Jiang Shu had to face the pressure from both Body Refining Grand Elders at once.

Neither Li Shiming nor Great Elder Sun Ao held back because Jiang Shu was present.

Li Shiming did so because with Great Elder Sun Ao around, Jiang Shu, a cultivator unaware of much inside information, was insignificant.

Great Elder Sun Ao didn’t care about Jiang Shu’s life or death at all; Jiang Shu had completed his task, and if he died, so be it.

Jiang Shu’s current state was total rigidity, his spirit in chaos, as he had fallen into self-preservation mode.

Any cultivator from the outside could easily take his life. As for whether he could wake up and when that would be was anybody’s guess.

"Well met!" Great Elder Sun Ao, who hadn’t encountered a cultivator capable of close combat with him for a long time, shouted enthusiastically, his staff treasure swirling to strike at Li Shiming.

He was well aware that Li Shiming could at most inflict minor injuries on him, while his own strike would severely wound Li Shiming if it connected.

Therefore, he didn’t even bother defending, fully deploying his staff treasure to attack Li Shiming.

However, his frustration arose when Li Shiming dodged every single attack of the staff treasure with mere inches to spare during close combat.

Li Shiming’s Third Grade Sword Base, from all sorts of unimaginable angles, continually poked, slashed, swept, and flicked on his body, creating wounds everywhere.

Great Elder Sun Ao felt as if his strength was futile, like a strong man battling a monkey.

In fact, it was only because Li Shiming was also a Body Refining Grand Elder that he could fight like this with Great Elder Sun Ao.

For other cultivators, it wasn’t necessary for the staff treasure to directly hit; even the residual force stirred by its proximity could severely injure a regular cultivator.

But the attack’s residual force from using the staff treasure couldn’t affect a Body Refining Grand Elder, whose defensive power could only be breached by an actual hit from the staff treasure.

In Li Shiming’s eyes, his life-bound treasure IBMz15 traced a multitude of movement trajectories on Great Elder Sun Ao, each of these trajectories allowing every movement of Great Elder Sun Ao to be calculated by the IBMz15.

Li Shiming’s task was to attack Great Elder Sun Ao at the next moment based on the analysis by IBMz15.

This led to Great Elder Sun Ao essentially delivering himself onto Li Shiming’s Third Grade Sword Base, sustaining injury upon injury.

Fear flashed in Great Elder Sun Ao’s eyes. He thought he was unbeatable in a fight with Li Shiming, who was supposedly unable to cause him significant harm.

Yet, in reality, he was repeatedly hit by the Third Grade Sword Base; each hit left a shallow wound, within which lingered a trace of Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent.

One shallow wound, and the Thunder Sword Intent it contained, was of little consequence to Great Elder Sun Ao.

However, when those shallow wounds accumulated into dozens or hundreds, the concentrated Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent became terrifying.

Each time, it cost him a bit of blood to drive out the Thunder Sword Intent. He feared that continuing this way would drain all his blood dry.
