This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 95 Timing



Xuan You's various psychological activities will not be mentioned here.

On the other hand, Lu Qingshan had fallen into the most troublesome situation he had encountered so far.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator from Xuan Ming Valley, who was in charge of the formation, looked at the Eight Gates Shield Armor continuously circling around Lu Qingshan's body and sneered.

"No matter how strong this magic artifact is, how many times can it withstand the attacks of the great formation?"

With a wave of his large hand, a spiritual power ball, both more powerful and larger than before, instantly condensed.

The surface of the spiritual power ball was overflowing with spirit, emitting terrifying fluctuations.

"Go!"

The Xuan Ming Valley Cultivator sneered viciously, and with a fierce push of his palms, the spiritual power ball, accompanied by an irresistible thunderous roar, shot towards Lu Qingshan.

Xu Hao, who had just relaxed, immediately felt his heart leap to his throat again.

Without hesitating, Xu Hao burst forth, lunging at the Xuan Ming Valley Cultivator positioned within the formation.

It was essential to disrupt the Xuan Ming Valley Cultivator from manipulating the formation; otherwise, under the power of the formation, each and every one of them from the Tiger Squad would have to fall here today.

Xu Hao immediately made the most correct judgment.

...

Meanwhile, Lu Qingshan, facing the attack of the formation, clenched his teeth and stared intently at the spiritual power ball that kept enlarging in his pupils.

The spiritual power ball was rapidly approaching Lu Qingshan.

"Not enough, even closer!" Lu Qingshan's heart grew colder.

Until the spiritual power ball was almost upon him, and Lu Qingshan could even feel the violently surging spirit on its surface.

A streak of sword light whistled out.

Formless Sword Escape!

Accompanying the sword light, Lu Qingshan instantly disappeared from the spot.

But under the spiritual light of the spiritual power ball, no one noticed this scene.

Except for Dantai Qingrun, who was remotely using his Divine Sense to keep an eye on the situation here.

Seeing this, Dantai Qingrun quietly suppressed the Qiuhong Sword that was circling overhead, ready to strike over Lu Qingshan.

The Xuan Ming Valley Cultivator, seeing that the spiritual power ball had enveloped Lu Qingshan, did not hesitate any longer, and the spiritual power ball suddenly exploded, releasing a massive burst of spiritual power.

The dazzling spiritual light instantly submerged the location where Lu Qingshan was, also reflecting the terrified faces of the Tiger Squad Cultivators.

"Could Lu Qingshan have fallen just like that?" Everyone's mind was occupied with this thought.

...

Time turned back a moment before.

The instant the spiritual power ball was launched, Lu Qingshan immediately made a judgment.

The Eight Gates Shield Armor absolutely could not withstand this attack!

So, he couldn't resist head-on; dodging was the only way to respond.

But dodging, though easy to say, was not easy to execute.

The difficulty lay in grasping the timing.

If he moved too early, the Xuan Ming Valley Cultivator could manipulate the spiritual power ball to follow Lu Qingshan's form, continuing the previous attack with uninterrupted force.

If he moved too late, given the power of the spiritual power ball, once he failed to escape its range of attack, he would suffer severe injuries if not death.

Thus, only by using the Formless Sword Escape in the instant before the spiritual power ball exploded could he ensure the ball released its inherent power fruitlessly, while he himself remained unscathed.

Even in Dantai Qingrun's view, this was an operation of extremely high difficulty.

Yet, Lu Qingshan calmly seized that practically fleeting moment, executed the Formless Sword Escape, moved away, and emerged without a single injury.

Only leaving behind a mess of a site to demonstrate the ferocity of the spiritual power ball.

Several thoughts of admiration arose in Dantai Qingrun's mind, and he gradually became more certain of his previous conjecture.

Such precise timing, along with composure and calmness even as Mount Tai crumbles before him.

This was something that could not be explained by talent alone but had to be honed through countless life-and-death battles.

How could a Cultivator of such a young age have such extensive battle experience?

It could only be explained by a great Cultivator performing a spirit possession.

...

Lu Qingshan, of course, was not what one would call a grand cultivator engaged in spirit possession.

Ten years of experience in "Nine Heavens" not only endowed Lu Qingshan with prescient abilities but also provided him with a wealth of battle experience, which was his most critical asset.

Generally speaking, cultivators wouldn't easily place themselves in a life-or-death battle.

While it's true that such battles can stimulate one's potential and refine combat skills, the problem is that one only has one life, and death means the end of everything.

So, apart from a few madmen, who would willingly risk their lives like this?

However, for players, none of these problems exist.

—Although there are penalties, players can, after all, resurrect infinitely.

In any game where resurrection is possible, players are always particularly eager to court death.

Not to mention that in "Nine Heavens," there's a saying: without a sufficient number of deaths, one cannot become a top player.

As one of the top players at the pinnacle of the player pyramid, Lu Qingshan had his share of innate talent, yet the hundreds to thousands of deaths were also inevitable.

Ten years of gaming experience, not to mention leveling up and defeating monsters, but just the thousands of PVP battles in the arena against players of all classes had granted Lu Qingshan a near-unparalleled battle experience among the human cultivators.

Moreover, with the possibility of resurrection, Lu Qingshan also had many foolhardy experiences.

Defeating monsters above his level had become a routine affair, and although it often resulted in more losses than gains, with leveling down and resurrection, it also cultivated in him a big heart unfazed by life-and-death situations.

This was an enviable and precious experience that many cultivators would covet.

...

He dodged another attack from the violent ball of Spiritual Power.

Lu Qingshan watched as Tiger Squad began to move, preparing to interfere with the Xuan Ming Valley cultivators conducting the Formation, his eyes slightly narrowing.

If merely Tiger Squad could prevent the power of the great Formation in Xuan Ming Valley,

it would indeed be underestimating Xuan Ming Valley significantly.

Lu Qingshan felt the fleeting sword aura in the air.

That familiar aura, if not Dantai Qingrun's second life-bound sword previously used to defeat Xuan You, then what could it be?

Dantai Qingrun might have hidden well,

but with the boost from "Innate Swordseed," Lu Qingshan's perception of and affinity for all types of Sword Artifacts had reached a level unimaginable to the average person.

Hence, Lu Qingshan instantly recognized the Qiuhong Sword hovering in the air.

Did he think he could just watch the play?

Lu Qingshan snorted displeasedly.

Using the Formless Sword Escape, Lu Qingshan, controlling the Crying Soul Sword, soared with undiminished speed towards Qiuhong.

Clang!

The crisp sound of jade colliding.

The Sword Momentum swirling around Qiuhong repelled the Crying Soul Sword.

Was he discovered?!

A thought flashed through Dantai Qingrun's mind.

Since Lu Qingshan had noticed her, she could no longer keep hiding.

Whoosh!

The dawn's light twinkled, and Qiuhong, like a meteor, broke through the sky, trailing a tail, and with a vast sword light that lit up the sky, it slashed towards the Xuan Ming Valley cultivator heading the Great Formation.

The Xuan Ming Valley cultivator's face changed, he concentrated the Spiritual Power of the formation, struggling to resist.

The brilliant beams of Spiritual Power burst forth incessantly, fiercely clashing with the sword light, resembling two armies battling at the front lines.

Accompanied by a series of metallic sounds, the Spiritual Power beams were finally extinguished, unable to continue.

Pfft!

The face of the Xuan Ming Valley cultivator still wore disbelief, but Qiuhong had already penetrated his Dantian, bursting his body with a surge of overwhelming Spirit Power in an instant.

Blood rained down.

It was as effortless as lifting a feather.

For Dantai Qingrun, killing a Foundation Establishment cultivator, even with the boost of a Great Formation, was like flipping her hand.

This sword not only crushed the body of the Foundation Establishment cultivator who was controlling the Formation but also shattered the will of the Xuan Ming Valley cultivators to resist.
