Chapter 1087 - 590: Resolution
The figure of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner from the Yuxiang Trading House Headquarters flashed out of the cave abode; his speed was the fastest. The other two Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners were aware something had happened, but they were delayed by their own matters, so they did not emerge from their cave abode in time.
Jian Wuwei tightly gripped his Lifebound Flying Sword, preparing to fight desperately.
Although he and five other Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners were protected by the formation set by the Fourth Grade Array Flag, this formation couldn’t withstand the attacks of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner.
He could sense the presence of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner, a presence he couldn’t forget, as it was this practitioner who had captured him, turning him into a furnace for Devil Cultivators.
Besides his Lifebound Flying Sword within his Nascent Soul, he had nothing else left. The only reason he could keep his Lifebound Flying Sword was that it existed in energy form within the Nascent Soul.
Unless he was killed, it was impossible to forcibly extract the Lifebound Flying Sword from his Nascent Soul.
Jian Wuwei tried for a moment but then gave up, as his internal Spiritual Power Pattern was insufficient to drive the Lifebound Flying Sword for long-range attacks, leaving him powerless against Nascent Soul enemies with his Sword Cultivator methods.
Even if he wanted to fight desperately, he wasn’t qualified to contend with Nascent Soul enemies.
A sudden "boom" erupted, followed by continuous "boom" sounds exploding above the Yuxiang Trading House Headquarters.
Li Shiming had made his move. The thirty ’Thunder Cloud Skills’ he had prepared in advance were unleashed.
Since they were executed within the context of the Yuxiang Trading House Headquarters, the headquarters’ great formation couldn’t suppress the ’Thunder Cloud Skills.’
The terrifying presence of Heavenly Thunder enveloped the Yuxiang Trading House Headquarters, and the only Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner looked up in horror.
As for the practitioners below the Nascent Soul Stage at the Yuxiang Trading House Headquarters, their hearts were in terror; before the ’Thunder Cloud Skills’ even truly struck, the slightly weaker practitioners were wholly obliterated, their spirits destroyed by the fearsome power.
Each ’Thunder Cloud Skill’ cast by Li Shiming had the power of a Nascent Soul Early Stage Peak, and the combined force of thirty of them was unbearable for a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator.
He harbored murderous intent towards the Yuxiang Trading Company, not planning to leave any survivors at its headquarters.
He understood the way the Devil Sect operated, which bore no relation to him, but this time, the Yuxiang Trading Company had seized Jian Wuwei, who was the mentor of his avatar, Li Yuanba.
The mentor of his avatar, Li Yuanba, was equivalent to Li Shiming’s mentor, so naturally, Li Shiming had to seek justice for his mentor.
His way of seeking justice was to annihilate the Yuxiang Trading House Headquarters.
The Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner didn’t immediately attack the six Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners, even though he was a Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner; he couldn’t underestimate the thirty ’Thunder Cloud Skills’ overhead.
Cultivators are inherently afraid of Heavenly Thunder. He took out a defensive magical artifact to prepare his defense.
The thunder brewed by the ’Thunder Cloud Skills’ crashed down, indiscriminately attacking every place in the Yuxiang Trading House Headquarters.
The Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner watched helplessly as the thunderbolts struck down, shattering the formations across the Yuxiang Trading House Headquarters. Even the abodes of the two Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners couldn’t escape this fate.
"Be careful, hurry over to me!" the Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner shouted loudly to the two Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners of the Yuxiang Trading Company.
He was also protected by his defensive magical artifact and moved towards the two Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners, but under the degree of the ’Thunder Cloud Skills,’ he couldn’t move too quickly.
Every moment, several thunderbolts containing the terrifying presence of Heavenly Thunder struck his defensive magical artifact, forcing him to invest more Spiritual Power into it.
Even so, the spiritual imprint within his defensive magical artifact was continually worn down by the repeated heavenly thunder strikes.
This is the most frightening aspect of Heavenly Thunder: it inherently suppresses spiritual substances, and his spiritual imprint was being countered by the Heavenly Thunder.
Helpless, the Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner switched to another defensive magical artifact, knowing that this one also wouldn’t hold out for long.
His ability to withstand under the thirty ’Thunder Cloud Skills’ was entirely due to his realm being far above Li Shiming’s, as Li Shiming’s ’Thunder Cloud Skills’ lacked sufficient harm against him.
But this didn’t mean he could ignore the ’Thunder Cloud Skills’; if one struck his body, it would still cause him significant harm.
He was still moving but could not help but stop again.
There was no need to rescue the two Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners from the Yuxiang Trading Company as their abodes’ formations shattered, and they couldn’t even leave their abodes before being struck and killed by multiple heavenly thunder strikes.
Under such a wide-ranging scope of attack, especially continuous ones, even if the two Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners’ Nascent Souls emerged, they were directly attacked by heavenly thunder.
It’s known that these were Nascent Soul Early Stage Peak Level thunder attacks; even a single heavenly thunder strike wasn’t something the two Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners could defend against, let alone continuous strikes.
"You’re courting death!" The Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner abandoned rescuing the two Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners of the Yuxiang Trading Company and turned his gaze towards Li Shiming, letting out an angry roar.
At this moment, he regretted not immediately going to slash down the Thunder Cultivator who cast the Thunder Skill, as doing so may have allowed him to save the two Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners in time.
