This Is Exactly How Cultivation Works

Chapter 431: Unless you can't help it

Views:

The whistling sound of the wind spread across the sky.

A strong light flashed, and the twisting air pressure rolled up a storm vortex, rushing to the distance at an extremely fast speed.

Lu Bei stopped Lu Zhou in the mountains outside the royal capital, and challenged him with an iron sword in hand. He did not use his immortal sword intent, but only used sword skills and sword principles to collide with the brilliant blade light.

Swordsmanship: The only swordsmanship in the world that cannot be defeated is speed.

Sword principle: Great force brings about miracles.

Well-reasoned and convincing.

He did not use the sword power because he was afraid that Lu Zhou would recognize his identity and surrender directly, which would not only affect the evaluation of the battle, but also delay him from stealing the knife power.

Whether it is the new upgrade method of Immortal Sword Intent or the recycling bin mode of Abandoned Sword Technique, both have extremely high requirements on the qualifications of the user.

Qili Jing is able to observe, simulate, and comprehend the opponent's intentions during the battle. His talent is unparalleled, and his unit is one in a million, not just one person, but years.

In comparison, Lu Bei's talent cannot be called a monster. The more accurate description should be evil. He doesn't even need to fight. Just by giving some blood, he can learn the opponent's intentions.

How much blood is lost, one point or hundreds of millions, depends on how unlucky the opponent is.

As for Lu Zhou, he saw the sallow-faced man condensing an iron sword, without using any sword intent, just wanting to exchange sword skills. He was excited to see the prey and rushed forward with his sword.

As soon as he touched it, he felt a tremendous force flowing into his body along the hilt of the knife, with a strange force that was slightly trembling. It made his arms numb and his muscles and veins tremble. After dozens of moves, it seemed that his soul also began to tremble.

What kind of method is this? Who is he

After the battle at Beijun Mountain, Lu Bei went through a version upgrade, during which several patches were updated, strengthening everything. Even the most basic speed and strength had undergone qualitative changes. At this moment, Lu Zhou was completely unrecognizable after his disguise.

He didn't even associate the sallow face with Lu Bei.

In Lu Zhou's impression, Lu Bei was still a cultivator in the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm, dominating Wu Zhou with his immortal sword intent.

clang!!

The swords collided, Lu Bei stood still, and Lu Zhou plowed the ground with his feet, rumbling back dozens of meters.

He roared like a tiger, thrust his long sword into the ground with his backhand, exerted force with both arms, veins on his neck bulged, and unloaded the strange force to the vast earth, completely stopping his retreat.

His retreat stopped, but the ground beneath his feet did not.

With the blade as the boundary, a narrow black crack opened up, tearing the bottomless black abyss. Amid the rumbling sound, a canyon crossed the mountain range, like a rolling earth dragon opening its bloody mouth and spewing out streams of hot white smoke.

A cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage can easily change the terrain, not to mention a cultivator in the Fusion Stage. For cultivators with strong physical bodies like Lu Zhou and Lu Bei, the damage can be devastating even if they only use brute force.

The crack in the abyss continued to widen, and the two figures stood on each side, getting farther and farther away.

The next second, a residual image suddenly flashed by, and above the abyss, an explosive force blew away the mist.

The terrifying force was devastating, like water pouring back, reaching everywhere, and crushing a huge semicircular depression between the mountains.

With a clang of the sword, Lu Bei dropped the sword to the ground, smoothing the jagged edge with his fingertips, leaving a streak of blood. He looked calm and composed, and it was obvious that he still had some strength left.

In contrast, Lu Zhou was breathing rapidly, and he looked like he had just been pulled out of the water. His clothes and black hair were soaked with sweat.

He used his skills to disperse the shockwaves in his body, and looked at Lu Bei with great admiration. At the same time, he asked in confusion, "Who are you? With your magical powers, you are definitely not an unknown person. Do you dare to tell me your name?"

"Elder Lu, you are joking. I am a nobody. Even if I were to gain a reputation, you would never have heard of it. Rather than boring yourself, it is better to leave a suspense."

Lu Bei said in a muffled voice, "On the contrary, Elder Lu, you were defeated by Ningzhou Lu Bei... no, the leader of the Tianjian Sect who has unparalleled talent. Why are you not recuperating in the Elders' House, but coming to the desolate Northland?"

"If you tell me your name, I will tell you the truth."

"Elder Lu, you misunderstood. I am not discussing this with you. I am advising you not to be ungrateful. While you can still speak, tell the truth."

Lu Bei said in a friendly and apologetic manner, "No wonder you misunderstood me. I was too polite before. I won't do that again next time."

“Arrogant!”

Lu Zhou snorted coldly. With his level of cultivation, his will was so strong that he would not be easily influenced by the outside world, let alone a mere verbal provocation.

If he was really affected, he would not show it.

Unless you can't help it.

In Lu Zhou's opinion, the sallow-faced man had a strong body and followed the tough and extreme flow style, but his realm was not high. He had just entered the fusion stage not long ago. Even if he had one or two magical powers, he was no match for him.

Some provocative remarks, just to make up for the gap between their realms. Xiao Daoer, if you take it seriously, you will fall into the trap.

Lu Zhou took a deep breath, and the sword light surged in all directions. The surrounding space rippled, but before it could spread far away, it was turned into darkness by the extremely sharp sword intent.

The next second, the overflowing sword energy was like snowflakes under the scorching sun, melting away in an instant.

The vast sea and sky swept down, and Lu Bei intercepted a small world, covering Lu Zhou in it. This world had been made real by the lotus bud, with blue sky and white clouds above and thousands of miles of waves below. The space was a little small, but it was not much different from other people's normal small worlds.

Lu Zhou didn't see any clues. He sensed the surroundings with his mind and shook his head slightly.

The small world was in order, but it lacked the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, and there was no sign of it being condensed into a magic weapon, which further confirmed that the sallow-faced man was no match for him.

The hurricane came roaring, rippling his clothes and making rustling sounds. Lu Zhou broke through the hurricane with a knife and headed straight for the golden figure.

The blade broke through the phantom, and Lu Zhou's pupils shrank suddenly in shock. The next second, several figures surrounded him from all directions. Each one was so real that it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false with his divine sense.

Lu Zhou was not in a hurry. He saw the sword light covering all directions like a tide. The giant blade was swung back and forth like a giant dragon flying and rolling. As it moved, the phantom clones were all crushed into powder.

Swish!!

A golden light flashed, and Lu Zhou stumbled. His thinking slowed down for a moment until he felt a sharp pain in his back spread throughout his body. Only then did he realize that he was injured.

How is it possible and when

Eyes narrowed to the point of a needle, Lu Zhou looked at Lu Bei in the distance with doubt, and asked tentatively: "Are you... Zhu Xiushi?"

Who is Zhu Xiushi and what is his relationship with Zhu Xiuzhu? Has a new character been unlocked

Lu Bei smiled mysteriously without explaining anything. He swept away the red sword with his fingertips, and in a flash, he came behind Lu Zhou again.

Shua—

The huge white blade came down with great momentum, domineering and decisive. With one touch, it instantly split Lu Bei's body into two.

Blood splattered, and Lu Zhou suffered new wounds on his back. He stared at Lu Bei who was standing there in amazement.

His intuition told him that he had just been attacked from behind, and the pain told him that not only had he been attacked, but the opponent had succeeded. However, his vision and spiritual perception told him that the opponent had not moved a single step.

It’s not the fusion stage, but the tribulation stage that suppresses cultivation. It must be Zhu Xiu Shi himself.

"The senior is at a far higher level, and I am no match for him. I am convinced of my defeat this time, but..."

"No buts. Even if there is, there is no need to rush. Let's talk about it later." Lu Bei picked up the blood drop, and in the blink of an eye, blood flowers burst out from Lu Zhou's body.

As it turned out, everyone in the Lu family turned pale, Lu Bei was like this, as was Lu Zhou. After only being hit by twenty swords, they successfully released their sword intent.

The bad news was that Lu Zhou's sword intent could not be integrated into the immortal sword intent. The personal panel did not explain the reason, but Lu Bei, who possessed the immortal sword intent, sensed the reason.

The level of sword intent is too high and the artistic conception is too profound to be integrated immediately.

Fortunately, the problem was not serious. The newly acquired sword intent was directly thrown into the recycling bin. Under the smelting of the abandoned sword method, an iron sword constructed by pure intent was slowly generated.

It comes when it is called and goes away when it is waved. It is between the real and the fake. Although it is scrap metal, it is also a magical weapon.

[You defeated Lu Zhou and gained 50 million experience points]

"Qili Jing thinks you are a waste, but I don't think so. You should work hard in the future. Whether you can surpass the status of the Nine Swords depends on your performance." Lu Bei waved his hand to disperse the iron sword, put away the small world, and jumped in front of the wounded Lu Zhou.

The change in his appearance, the clean-cut little white face comparable to a newbie, made Lu Zhou stunned.

"It's you?"

Lu Zhou gave a bitter smile. In just two months, Lu Bei's strength had skyrocketed. Not only had he crossed a new realm, but he also felt powerless facing a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

With frustration lingering in his heart, he closed his eyes and said nothing, "Let it be."

"Brother Lu, what you said is true. You and I are brothers from the same family. Five hundred years ago, maybe you were really my brother. It is too much to let you be punished."

Lu Bei helped Lu Zhou up, brushed off the dust on him, and imitated the attitude of a wise leader recruiting talents, and asked tentatively: "Let's not beat around the bush, brother, are you interested in switching to the Tianjian Sect and come here to be my master's dog?"

Lu Zhou's face darkened. Just because of this sentence, Lu Bei could never expect him to be a dog in this life.

"Brother, think about it again. Right now, I don't have many lackeys at my disposal. If you come to me, you will be valued. I'm not exaggerating, but after a while, when I have gathered all my lackeys, I'm afraid you won't even be able to find a way out if you come to me again." Lu Bei advised patiently.

Lu Zhou closed his eyes and said nothing. As he said before, a gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. He would accept any punishment without complaint.

It was impossible to deal with him. Lu Bei only wanted experience and sword intent. He had no intention of going to war with the Huangji Sect. He knocked Lu Zhou down with a punch, wrapped him with a black chain, picked him up and rushed towards the palace.

"So he is Lu Zhou. He is not as good as his reputation. Is he not that powerful?"

Outside the Hibiscus Palace, Fox Three hid behind Lu Bei and commented on Wu Zhou's famous Mad Blade: "It hasn't been long since he was captured alive. I can do the same in his place."

"Brother, are you serious?"

Lu Bei immediately perked up. As long as Hu San nodded, he would let go of Lu Zhou and let his elder brother get what he wanted.

As a brother, he would risk his life to give Hu San a chance to prove himself.

"Of course, Lu Zhou couldn't hold out for a few moves from you, and I couldn't hold out for a few moves from you either. This shows that Lu Zhou and I are at the same level." Fox Three put his hands on his hips proudly.

"…" x3

Wow, it turns out that this is the case. You can do it too.

Lu Bei pointed at Lu Zhou and said, "This guy is too tight-lipped. His cultivation level is too high to be sealed. It's impossible to force him to confess. Big brother, do you have any good ideas?"

"It's simple. Even big shots have to have dignity. Strip him naked, find a few ugly women to hold him, record it on the jade slip, and tell him whatever you ask." Fox Three said with great experience.

"…" x3

Lu Bei was speechless, She Xuan was speechless, and the unconscious Lu Zhou's brows twitched.

"Second brother, what's that look in your eyes? Don't tell me you haven't used this trick before."

"… "

He has used it, but the victims were all beautiful female cultivators with good looks and first-class figures. If they refused to confess, he would humble himself and be in the same shot with them, and create some unique poses.

As long as the other party is calm enough, the torture process will not result in death.
