Chapter 163: A Boundary-Crossing Killer Move
"Sister, they're coming up soon.
Looking down from a high vantage point, Chu Shen could clearly see the arrival of three Spirit Gathering stage cultivators. He was well aware of the gap in cultivation between himself and the opponents, but surprisingly, he didn't feel any fear.
Insufficient cultivation can be compensated with equipment!
He put on his robes and armor, and together with Bai Ying, he affixed golden talismans to prepare for explosive charms and various props. He drew out the sword embryo of a famous sword...
"Get ready, one, two...
The three enemies were getting closer, seemingly intending to exchange some words before the battle.
However, Chu Shen didn't bother with these bullies who outnumbered him.
"Three!"
Using the Floating Dance technique, even though he was only at the Foundation Building stage, he gracefully flew up from Bai Ying's back.
Without Chu Shen's restraint, Bai Ying transformed into a white shadow and instantly accelerated to an astonishing speed.
The three Spirit Gathering stage cultivators only had time to activate their defensive shields before one of them was solidly knocked away by this sudden collision.
Amidst the screams, the Spirit Gathering stage cultivator who was knocked away lost the initiative. His spiritual shield shattered, forcing him into close combat, trying to turn the tide against Bai Ying with speed, but it wasn't that easy. Instead, he was quickly injured.
Although his cultivation stage was Spirit Gathering, it was only at the second level of Spirit Gathering.
Bai Ying was also at the Spirit Gathering stage, but had cultivation at the third level of Spirit Gathering, one level higher than this cultivator, and was a half-immortal beast.
When excluding the advantages of external equipment such as magical tools and talismans, the combat abilities of human cultivators, compared to non-human creatures of similar cultivation stages, are often viewed as being one level lower. This is a natural disadvantage in terms of size, talent, and other aspects.
As the daughter of a celestial fox and a qilin, Bai Ying was even stronger than ordinary beings.
The result was that the opponent chosen by Bai Ying was completely overwhelmed and in great danger.
One can imagine the scene of a trained but unarmed special forces soldier facing an intelligent tiger.
Not everyone can compare to Wu Song!
The other two Spirit Gathering stage cultivators immediately realized the situation was bad. One of them, at the third level of the Spirit Gathering stage, said, "I'll go help, you take down this kid, no problem, right?"
The remaining cultivator was at the second level of the Spirit Gathering stage and said, "Don't worry, a little brat at the Foundation Building stage, easy to capture!"
The situation inevitably entered the scene described by the subordinate advising the envoy.
However, both the envoy observing from below and the Spirit Gathering stage cultivators confronting in the air did not believe that Chu Shen could withstand an opponent one realm higher than him, and were full of confidence.
"Kid, if you don't surrender now, when will you?" Chu Shen looked at the opponent's arrogant appearance and sneered, "Nonsense."
The activated explosive talismans flew out of his hand like snowflakes, one after another, flashing with dangerous light, intersecting in mid-air.
The Spirit Gathering stage cultivator on the opposite side was surprised, but not panicked. "You really have quite a fortune, so many explosive talismans. Unfortunately, the difference between you and me is absolute, it's useless!"
Explosive talismans were ultimately a relatively basic type of talisman, with great power but also limits. Although the system's product was flawless, it was ultimately equivalent to a full-force strike from the peak of the Foundation Building stage.
The difference between the second level of the Spirit Gathering stage and the peak of the Foundation Building stage may not seem far, but in reality, it was a world of difference.
Unlike the peak of the Foundation Building stage, which still relies on one's own power as the foundation, the Spirit Gathering stage has already entered a new realm of borrowing the power of heaven and earth.
I saw that the cultivators at the Spirit Gathering stage were calm and composed. With just half a sword drawn, there was already a surge of spiritual energy like a raging wind, sweeping through like an exploding talisman.
The exploding talismans seemed to encounter an insurmountable obstacle. From a distance of more than ten meters from the cultivators at the Spirit Gathering stage, they turned into huge fireworks, exploding one after another.
Immediately, the sword of the cultivator at the Spirit Gathering stage was completely unsheathed, and the slightly shaken surge of spiritual energy continued to sweep forward, seemingly about to engulf Chu Shen.
However, Chu Shen remained motionless, as if frightened. As the surge of spiritual energy turned into a storm and swept past, the cultivator at the Spirit Gathering stage realized that it was just an afterimage.
What? Where is he?
He quickly regained his composure and swept his spiritual awareness around.
"Here!"
Swinging a gust of sword qi, Chu Shen had no choice but to reveal his figure while dodging.
Moon Escape, different from Yang Taichu's Moon Escape, the power of the system endowed this move with the concept of time, allowing Chu Shen to briefly deceive the opponent's senses when using it.
Unfortunately, this "brief" time was too short. Before he could close the distance for a sneak attack, he was already discovered by the opponent.
But this distance was already enough to do many things.
Once again, he threw out a pile of talismans.
"A mere trick, how dare you show off in front of me!"
The cultivator at the Spirit Gathering stage was furious. Although he had been fooled by Chu Shen's methods just now due to his unfamiliarity, the absolute difference in strength made him extremely confident, thinking that no matter how Chu Shen jumped, he couldn't escape from his palm.
Without hesitation, he swung his sword back and unleashed a surge of spiritual energy that transformed into a storm and swept through.
However, this time the explosion was too close, and he was also affected. The swirling wind, mixed with the raging flames of the explosive talisman, spread out in all directions. He had no choice but to retreat slightly.
Unexpectedly, his spiritual senses alerted him. The chaotic explosion was just a smokescreen to conceal Chu Shen's true intentions. While the Spirit Gathering stage cultivators were distracted by the explosion, a new attack talisman had already pierced through the explosion area and approached him.
The Spirit Gathering stage cultivator remained calm. He couldn't help but marvel at Chu Shen's extravagant spending on combat tactics. These talismans were not cheap on the market. Even as a Spirit Gathering stage cultivator, he had never been so extravagant.
But this time, he made a mistake. In addition to a few explosive talismans, there were more talismans with lightning, freezing, and earth attributes. Although most of these talismans didn't have outstanding attack power, they were control-type talismans that reduced agility and affected mobility. Even with a high cultivation level in the Spirit Gathering stage, being paralyzed by a large amount of electricity, frozen by a lot of frost, or burdened by heavy earth spiritual energy would always have some impact, causing sluggishness in movement.
This was the first time he felt danger.
The Spirit Gathering stage cultivator quickly summoned his cherished magic weapon that he had nurtured for many years. It was also one of his life-saving trump cards. A green parasol faintly appeared, summoning several crystal walls around him.
But at this moment, Chu Shen had already seized the opportunity of his slow and sluggish movements.
The imprint of the "Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin" was activated. It was originally a Heaven-ranked skill, and the advanced divine art inheritance had further strengthened its power, displaying its unparalleled brilliance at this moment.
The nameless sword embryo transformed into two, two into three, and three into countless numbers.
What was even more terrifying was that the talent of "Sword Master" automatically endowed each of these countless "swords" with special effects. Faced with each "sword," the green parasol of the Spirit Gathering stage cultivator had to undergo a judgment of the principles of the Great Dao.
Only by passing the judgment could it defend against the attack of the "sword."
If it failed the judgment, the attack of the "sword" would directly ignore the defense of the green parasol and attack the Spirit Gathering stage cultivator's body.
This was the confidence that allowed Chu Shen to come alone, a killing move that enabled him to cross realms and kill enemies.
