Chapter 88: Completely Unscathed
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The three disciples of the Three Gods Mountains were all arrogant and domineering. When they saw Li Ming actually stand in front of the two beauties and act like a hero, they simply laughed.
Even if Li Ming’s cultivation level was also at the late stage of the foundation establishment realm, so what?
Did he really think that he alone could stop the three of them, who were all in the late stage of the foundation establishment realm?
Was this no different from a joke?
Was this nothing but wishful thinking?
Even if it was a perfected-level foundation establishment cultivator facing three late-stage foundation establishment cultivators, they would have to take the fight very seriously.
They would not have any room to be careless during the fight.
And yet, a single late-stage foundation establishment cultivator, actually dared to confront all three of them on his own?
Were his actions any different from courting death?
So what if they were at the foot of the mountain of the Divine Will Sect?
This market was open to everyone. Even if they killed Li Ming here, the Divine Will Sect would not dare to do anything.
“Brat, do you really think you’re the hero who saves the damsels in distress?”
“To become that hero, you must first check and see whether or not you have the capital!”
“There are some things that you simply cannot accomplish alone!”
The young man leading the group of three snorted coldly. He was already used to seeing confident fools acting like heroes saving the damsels in distress. But in the end, it turned out that the supposed heroes were merely being overconfident and did not have the strength to save anyone.
The group of three from the Three Gods Mountain believed that Li Ming was merely a self-righteous person who wanted to show off. But could he really afford the consequences of his actions? “Who said I wanted to be a hero?”
“There’s only the three of you, so why would I need any help?”
Li Ming snorted lightly. Chen Qingke was a genius disciple of the Divine Will Sect and had reached the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm in just over a year. And as for Lu Lan, who was at the perfected level of the foundation establishment realm, she could probably deal with all three of them on her own.
Li Ming only wanted to test out how strong he had become after reaching the late-stage foundation establishment realm, passing the transformation brought about by the marrow cleansing pill, and reaching the sixth level of the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art,
He had been refining pills recently. Although he had indeed taken some time every day to temper his body, he had not gone through actual combat tempering. Just raising his cultivation base would not allow Li Ming to have a solid foundation.
This was especially so for body cultivation.
It was only through actual combat that Li Ming would be able to learn how to better control his own strength. At the same time, he would be able to consolidate his foundation.
This was his true goal.
As for the three of them?
Li Ming merely saw them as sandbags.
“Hmph, you sure have big words. I hope you can still be so confident when you face your death in a while!”
The young man leading the group of three was completely disdainful.
In his eyes, Li Ming was just a clown.
This was not the first time he had seen a person be extremely presumptuous before their death.
Such people did not have good endings.
Looking at the two beauties behind Li Ming, the group of three’s eyes shone with excitement. They truly wanted to have a taste of the beauties.
They did not take their opponent, who was alone and at the late-stage foundation establishment realm, seriously at all.
“Brat, you’re courting death. Don’t worry, we’ll make sure to make this quick!”
The young man leading the group of three raised his hand, and the other two raised their hands at the same time. Their respective magical artifacts appeared, and sharp lights burst out.
The spiritual qi of the group of three erupted, and it actually set off a gust of wind!
The crowd of onlookers in the entire venue was forced to move back!
Cultivators who were at the late stage of the foundation establishment realm were already considered people with extraordinary strength in the Eastern Continent. They were existences that could dominate a large area.
Under the full force of their aura, the three late-stage foundation establishment cultivators instantly rushed forward and attacked Li Ming. They waved their magical artifacts, and spiritual qi surged out violently from their bodies, turning into sharp lights that assaulted Li Ming!
It was just an ordinary burst of sword qi, but it already possessed an astonishing might!
Just these flashes of sword qi were enough to make an intermediate-stage foundation establishment cultivator feel as if death was approaching.
Even late-stage foundation establishment cultivators could only choose to dodge.
However, Li Ming did not panic at all when he saw the three flashes of sword qi coming straight at him.
He did not even try to dodge.
Instead, he just stood there.
Streams of light surged around his body, and in an instant, a thin golden light covered his entire body.
This was also the most commonly used defensive technique of qi cultivation foundation establishment cultivators.
For qi cultivation foundation establishment cultivators, this technique did not consume too much spiritual qi, and it increased their weak defense. Therefore, for those who had weak bodies, it was a great technique.
But as for Li Ming who cultivated both his body and qi at the same time, the technique also significantly enhanced his physical defense.
The level of his defenses was not something that a qi cultivation foundation establishment cultivators could reach.
The three flashes of sword qi landed and exploded around Li Ming!
In an instant, dust flew and smoke swirled around!
When everyone saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded. Clearly, they did not expect that Li Ming did not have any intention of dodging the attacks of three late-stage foundation establishment cultivators.
Had he really just been acting tough earlier?
After seeing the other party actually attack him, did he get so frightened that he could not even move?
Did he not have enough time to react?
However, no matter what, the crowd was sure that it could not have been a good feeling to withstand three late-stage foundation establishment cultivators’ sword qi head-on!
However, as the smoke gradually dissipated, everyone’s pupils instantly constricted.
Li Ming stood in front of everyone, completely unharmed.
His face showed a relaxed and disdainful expression.
It seemed that he was not satisfied with the attacks of the three late-stage foundation establishment cultivators.
“Don’t you know that there’s a law in battle?”
Li Ming grinned. His physical body had indeed grown a lot stronger.
The improvement brought about by the marrow cleansing and the growth brought about by reaching the late stage of the foundation establishment realm greatly improved the defense of his physical body.
Even when facing three late-stage foundation establishment sword qi attacks, he was easily able to withstand them with just his body.
This was the benefit of body cultivation.
How could some ordinary attacks harm the body of a body cultivator?
This was obviously impossible!
When the three opponents saw this scene, they were incomparably stunned.
Judging from the level of spiritual qi that Li Ming had displayed, it was clear that he was only at the late stage of the foundation establishment realm.
However, if he really was at the late stage of the foundation establishment realm, how was he able to sustain no injuries despite not dodging their attacks.
It simply did not make sense.
It was utterly unreasonable!
In the end, they were only able to deduce one possibility!
“I did not expect you to have a defensive magical artifact that could block our attacks. It seems that your defensive magical artifact is quite powerful.”
“As expected of the number one sect in the Heavenly Southern Region, the
Divine Will Sect is not to be taken lightly.”
“However, when you die, everything you have will belong to us!”
It was obvious that the three of them and even the bystanders thought that Li Ming had some powerful defensive magical artifact.
For qi cultivation foundation establishment cultivators, it was definitely a good thing to have a high-quality defensive magical artifact in addition to their natal magical treasures!
After all, such things could save their lives at critical moments.
Even though their line of thinking was completely reasonable, especially since the Eastern Continent was almost entirely comprised of qi cultivators, they were unfortunately utterly mistaken.
Li Ming had only relied on the strength of his physical body to block their attacks.
However, Li Ming would not bother explaining everything to them.
“Defensive magic artifacts?”
“I don’t need such toys.”
“Since you want to kill me, then I won’t hold back.”
Li Ming sneered and took a step forward.. In the next second, he flashed forward like lightning!
