Chapter 699 - 396: Solution
Li Yuanba used the short-distance sprint secret technique "Fiery Sun Jade Body Technique," and his speed was noticeably faster than the nearby Late-stage Golden Core Cultivator.
The main reason was that the strength of this Late-stage Golden Core Cultivator was lacking; although he was at the realm of the Late-stage Golden Core, his combat power was far below that of Qi Jin, whom he knew.
The Late-stage Golden Core Cultivator kept retreating, throwing out talismans one after another, which formed various defensive and offensive spells in front of him.
Li Yuanba disregarded these spells, whether they were offensive or defensive, he broke through them with a casual stroke of his sword.
Unless it was an attack at the Great Elder Level, nothing could breach his Body Refinement defense, and his Body Refinement attack, combined with the Supreme Yang Sword Intent, still predominantly embraced the Sword Cultivator’s style in combat.
When he engaged in close combat, he used a rather unique close-combat Sword Cultivation style.
He was still using the "Sword Demon Secret Manual," a Sword Cultivation close combat technique, and its power was immensely formidable when combined with his Body Refinement strength in real combat.
Flames and frost exploded before him, and he moved through the bursts of spells.
His "Divine Vision" allowed him to clearly see the horror and despair in the eyes of the Late-stage Golden Core Cultivator, who had never expected that his strongest secret, accumulated over many years and totaling ten Late-stage Golden Core Magic Talismans, would be utterly ineffective.
Even the impact on Li Yuanba’s speed was minimal, which was beyond his comprehension and left him unable to understand.
