This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

After effortlessly capturing Real Man Xuan Ming with the Artifact Skill of the Qiuhong Sword, Dantai Qingrun turned his attention to the other two battlefields.

The Jiazi Squad, which served as reinforcements from the main tower of Qing State, although the highest cultivation among the six Cultivators was only at the Golden Core Middle Stage, they were all strong Cultivators within their realm, and the coordination among the squad members was exceptionally tacit.

Under the orderly and exquisite cooperation of the six Cultivators, Real Man Xuan You, who was at the Golden Core Late Stage, appeared as if stuck in a swamp, unable to exert his power effectively and was firmly restrained.

As one of the strongest Golden Core Cultivators, Dantai Qingrun's perspective was naturally extraordinary.

With just a glance at the overall situation on the field, Dantai Qingrun had come to a conclusion.

——The Jiazi Squad only needed to grind it out for another hour or two, and Real Man Xuan You would fall due to insufficient Spiritual Power.

After confirming that there was no problem on the Jiazi Squad's side, Dantai Qingrun shifted his focus to the battle situation of the Tiger Squad.

More precisely, he directed his attention to Lu Qingshan.

...

In such a meticulously prepared operation, following the style of Zhi Shou Tower, they naturally would send an absolutely assured lineup to secure the mission target with a fail-safe stance, rather than engage in equal or even underdog battles.

That's not called bravery, it's called stupidity.

Yet they had sent out the Jiazi Squad, consisting of five Golden Core Early Stage Cultivators and one Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivator, along with the entirely Foundation Establishment Tiger Squad, to meet the luxurious lineup of two Golden Core Late Stage Cultivators, more than twenty Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and hundreds of Qi Refining Cultivators from Xuan Ming Valley.

It seemed highly irrational and contradicted the philosophy of Zhi Shou Tower.

But in reality, the comparison of strength between the two sides presented a typical crushing force.

All because of one person.

——Dantai Qingrun.

Yes, with just Dantai Qingrun alone, the Zhi Shou Tower, which appeared weaker on paper, could easily crush Xuan Ming Valley.

Within the same Golden Core Realm, the gap between the strength of strong Golden Core Cultivators and that of average Golden Core Cultivators can stretch into a chasm insurmountable!

Dantai Qingrun was such a Sword Cultivator at the pinnacle of combat power among Golden Core Cultivators.

The task in Xuan Ming Valley was initially assigned only to require the participation of Dantai Qingrun and the Jiazi Squad.

The Jiazi Squad was even just sent to assist Dantai Qingrun, in case the two Golden Core Late Stage Cultivators had some tricks up their sleeves, and to prevent them from slipping away one by one.

As for the Tiger Squad, they were a last-minute addition by Dantai Qingrun on a whim.

As for the purpose?

Dantai Qingrun's gaze was profound as he looked at the figure on the other side that had gradually become the focus of Tiger Squad's attention.

Lu Qingshan's expression was solemn.

Although the Cultivators of the Tiger Squad were all strong Foundation Establishment Cultivators, the Cultivators of Xuan Ming Valley were numerically superior, making it difficult for them to address all fronts.

So, after the initial explosive phase passed, it wasn't long before a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Xuan Ming Valley successfully entered their formations and began to mobilize the Formation's power to attack them.

"Activate the Formation!" shouted a Foundation Establishment Cultivator at the stage of Perfection from Xuan Ming Valley as he entered the key position.

Immediately, the other Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the formation echoed in unison.

The previously ignored Qi Refining disciples on the outermost layer of Xuan Ming Valley had already taken their positions at the outer formation, waiting for a High Level Cultivator to enter the core position and activate the Formation.

Upon hearing the shouting voice of their fellow Sect Uncles echoing throughout the valley, these Qi Refining disciples closed their eyes in unison.

In just a moment, the Spiritual Power within them seeped out and surged into the Formation.

Though their Spiritual Power was not strong, the sheer number of them accumulated a terrifying Spiritual Tide.

A light shield covering the entire Xuan Ming Valley gradually emerged.

The Xuan Ming Valley Cultivator who first gave the command naturally became the leader of the Formation.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he quickly made a decision. Find more chapters on empire

First, eliminate the Tiger Squad, then assist Uncle Xuan You in defeating the enemy!

He raised his right palm and pressed down.

A ball of Spiritual Power, gathered from a fraction of power from all the Xuan Ming Valley disciples, hurtled with terrifying speed towards Lu Qingshan, who was constantly moving and dodging.

Yes, this indeed was the Sword Cultivator with a built-in max level taunting aura, predictably becoming the first target the Xuan Ming Valley Cultivators wanted to kill!

The speed of the Spiritual Power orb was extraordinarily terrifying, and its might even more astounding.

Wherever the Spiritual Power orb passed, it left behind an obvious trail over ten feet long.

This was because the air had been compressed and annihilated, forming a brief vacuum.

"Lu Qingshan, be careful!" The moment the Spiritual Power orb appeared, Xu Hao sensed the danger and shouted nervously to warn.

With the prowess of the Spiritual Power orb, even his thick-skinned self would have to lie in state for quite some time if he were to take the hit.

A Sword Cultivator, fragile as a sheet of paper, had no reason to withstand such an attack!

He couldn't even begin to imagine the sorry state Lu Qingshan would be in if he were hit.

Lu Qingshan's eyes fixated on the incoming Spiritual Power orb, but his expression grew increasingly calm as he made up his mind.

Eight palm-sized jade stones flew out instantly, emitting a serene blue light, and in the blink of an eye, they expanded several times in size, transforming into shields.

Clang!

That wasn't all; the eight shields were different in shape, with twisted patterns along their edges.

But despite their odd shapes, the patterns on the shields matched up perfectly and assembled together at high speed, forming an airtight barrier around Lu Qingshan.

Water Cloud Shield Artifact Skill "Eight Gates Shield Armor"!

It was precisely at the moment the Water Cloud Shield appeared that Dantai Qingrun, who had been ready to intercept the Spiritual Power orb, quietly withdrew her hand.

Boom!

The Spiritual Power orb crashed against the Eight Gates Shield Armor, producing a thunderous sound that echoed in the ears!

Under the watchful eyes of all, the remnants of the Spiritual Power dissipated, revealing the unharmed Lu Qingshan within.

Lu Qingshan's eyelids grew heavy.

With that single strike, the durability of the Eight Gates Shield Armor decreased by half!

As for Dantai Qingrun's demeanor towards Lu Qingshan's situation, she remained completely nonchalant.

With her discerning eye, she immediately noticed that with the Water Cloud Shield artifact protecting him, the Spiritual Power orb couldn't harm Lu Qingshan, which is why she had held back.

Dantai Qingrun's eyes shone brightly, her curiosity about the ever-mysterious Lu Qingshan piqued tremendously.

She had specifically brought the Tiger Squad this time, partly hoping to probe into Lu Qingshan's motives through this opportunity.

She also had ample confidence and strength to control the scene.

Should Lu Qingshan encounter a situation he couldn't resolve, she would step in immediately to take charge of the situation.

Lu Qingshan, let me see what tricks you have up your sleeve.

Dantai Qingrun murmured in her heart.

And as for now...

While keeping an eye on Lu Qingshan's condition, Dantai Qingrun also diverted part of her attention to face True Person Xuan You.

A hundred beams of Sword Light burst forth from the Spirit Hidden Sword, loaded with lethal intent, and suddenly slashed down towards True Person Xuan You.

Dantai Qingrun was prepared to settle scores with this True Person Xuan You, who had dared to provoke her earlier.

Given that True Person Xuan Ming had been dealt with and she wasn't one to idly stand by, she decisively launched a fierce attack on True Person Xuan You.

The hundred beams of Sword Light swept past True Person Xuan You's body, and in an instant, his rocky skin was marked with a dense network of fine white lines.

In pain, True Person Xuan You's face suddenly changed, and a sense of ominous foreboding flashed through his mind.

Dantai Qingrun had clearly gone after True Person Xuan Ming just moments ago, so why now...?

Could it be that True Person Xuan Ming had been dealt with by her in such a short span of time?

He was somewhat familiar with the strength of True Person Xuan Ming, who was several magnitudes stronger than himself.

Is this Sword Cultivator from the Zhi-Zhi Pavilion this powerful?

With many thoughts racing through his mind, True Person Xuan You felt both shocked and fearful.
