Chapter 288: Chapter 190 Encounter_2
They had now entered the territory of spirit beasts where fleeing was not an option. Facing a troop of Spirit Monkeys, if one were to flee and reveal their presence, who knew what kind of spirit beast they might encounter next.
Li Shiming also understood this reasoning. He nodded his head and with a wave of his hand, nine flying swords shot out, enveloping the Spirit Monkey King and the four early-stage Foundation Establishment White Monkeys within them.
As for the other monkeys, he didn’t take them seriously at all.
The claws of a Spirit Monkey at the Qi Refinement Realm might not even be able to tear through his body’s defenses, to say nothing of posing any threat.
Xu Chuan’s flying sword also flew out. He had not coordinated with Li Shiming before and did not know much about Li Shiming’s strength, so he was still paying attention to Li Shiming’s way of fighting.
It’s important to note that there would be many battles with spirit beasts later on, not to mention the powerful spirit beasts guarding the Mu Yang Three-leaf Clover. It would be best to take the opportunity of first entering the Spiritual Beast Territory to understand and familiarize themselves with each other.
...
The Spirit Monkey King and the four White Monkeys let out shrill cries simultaneously, their hands congealing ice and hurling it at Xu Chuan’s flying sword.
Li Shiming’s nine flying swords, because they did not launch an attack immediately, were overlooked by the Spirit Monkey King and the four White Monkeys.
Although the wisdom of spirit beasts is not inferior to that of humans, humans can enhance their own wisdom through learning a wealth of knowledge, which is something ordinary spirit beasts lack.
Xu Chuan’s flying sword was extremely nimble. At this moment, he had no intention of holding back his strength. It was a good chance to show Li Shiming his combat power, so he could win Li Shiming over in the future.
The flying sword nimbly dodged the five ice attacks. Although the cold air from the ice had formed a layer of frost on the flying sword, its speed was not much affected.
The flying sword shot towards the Spirit Monkey King, who tumbled its body, claws from both hands and feet reaching for the flying sword.
Although most spirit beasts do not use weapons, some organs of their own bodies are natural weapons.
The claws of the hands and feet of the Spirit Monkey King were no less powerful and hard than a cultivator’s Spiritual Artifact.
Sounds of collision rang out continuously as the flying sword clashed with the claws. When the flying sword returned, there was a new sword mark on the body of the Spirit Monkey King.
“Brother Li, be careful, this monkey king has strong defense!” Xu Chuan called out softly without any hint of joy but instead gave a gentle reminder.
The encounter that just happened seemed advantageous for him, but the injuries inflicted on the Spirit Monkey King were truly insignificant. The Spirit Monkey King’s constitution was extremely formidable, the flying sword had merely cut the skin and hadn’t penetrated deeply.
The injured Spirit Monkey King let out a piercing scream, causing all the other Spirit Monkeys to rush towards the two men with shrill cries.
The ear-piercing screams were somewhat disorienting, but fortunately, both of them were no ordinary early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.
“Open!” Li Shiming shouted solemnly.
Countless bolts of electricity rose from within the Nine Palace Sword Formation. Although few at first, they still had a significant killing effect on the Qi Refinement Realm Spirit Monkeys.
In offense, their attacks were unparalleled; in retreat, they would leave no trace, moving freely between advance and retreat, achieving the Cultivators’ greatest pursuit: “carefree independence.”
As Xu Chuan was pondering this, within the formation, a White Monkey was struck by a series of lightning bolts, and within them, an inconspicuous golden arc appeared.
Once the golden arc touched the monkey, its body stiffened.
Li Shiming appeared to be at the entry level of the early-stage Foundation Establishment, but his Spiritual Power was actually at the peak of early-stage Foundation Establishment, and what he triggered was the famously powerful Golden Thunder.
The Golden Thunder penetrated the body of the White Monkey, wreaking havoc on its life force.
The defensive ability of the spirit monkeys was strong; this defense was mainly against physical attacks, and their defense against the Five Elements Energy was also considerable. However, lightning was an exception.
Lightning inherently had a restraining effect on spirit beasts, and this single strike made the White Monkey’s life force begin to fade.
As Li Shiming started to condense the second “Thunder Strike Skill,” Xu Chuan also launched his attack.
This time, Xu Chuan’s flying sword moved slowly, but it seemed to be carrying a huge mountain with it as it flew.
Watching the flying sword, Li Shiming’s eyes flashed with a hint of wariness.
The sword contained a terrifying force; without question, this stroke of the flying sword was stimulated by some secret technique.
He had never underestimated any Cultivator, but amongst his peers, he had rarely encountered an opponent who could match his strength.
Of course, that was during the Qi Refinement Realm when he, alone, altered the outcome of the battle between the seven sects and the Beishu Mingxin Sect—at that time, those participating Mingxin Sect Qi Refining Cultivators were all talents of the Mingxin Sect.
Upon reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, even with the accumulation from the Qi Refinement Realm, possessing a powerful Spiritual Artifact, and having a main Cultivation Technique that led directly to the Nascent Soul, he still needed a powerful sect to enhance his means.
It was somewhat pathetic that his emergency technique as an ordinary Cultivator was actually obtained from a Loose Cultivator, the secret technique allowing Magic Artifacts to self-destruct.
What he was lacking was the type of small-scale burst secret technique like the one Xu Chuan was using, which could enhance an attack based on the combat environment.
Xu Chuan also wanted to perform well and not be outdone by Li Shiming, so he used a secret technique of his sect.
This secret technique allowed the accumulation of Spiritual Power to increase the compressed Spiritual Power inside the flying sword, greatly enhancing the sword’s power.
The use of secret techniques was greatly limited; in a normal battlefield, there would hardly be time to slowly compress and accumulate Spiritual Power within a flying sword.
