391: Chapter 391 Encountering an Acquaintance Again

Li Daoxuan quickly flew outward; since his cultivation had reached its current Realm, there was no need for him to stay here any longer.

His goal remained the grasslands. Although there were many human tribes and even human cities here, for Li Daoxuan, to quickly increase his cultivation, he had to head to places with more Vicious Beasts.

Having already obtained the True Martial Cultivation Technique and Mental Energy Cultivation Technique he needed, Li Daoxuan set off without hesitation, flying toward the distance.

At this moment, his Mental Energy had reached the fifth Rank, which is the Fifth-Rank Priest Realm mentioned in the Legacy that recorded the technique.

One can already fly at this Realm; by wrapping oneself in Mental Energy, flying becomes very easy.

Moreover, he had the Power of the Great Dao and the taixuan sword; using these two Flying Swords for flight was even easier.

They were excellent Flying Swords in their own right, but previously he lacked Mental Energy and could only use them as ordinary Swords.

Now that things were better, Li Daoxuan finally possessed Mental Energy, making their use exceptionally convenient.

His flight speed was very fast, passing over several ruins in an instant. Just as he was flying toward the other side of the ice plains, his path was blocked by several Ice Sculpturess.

Looking at the extremely powerful Ice Sculpturess before him, Li Daoxuan's expression turned serious.

In the past, he would definitely not have been a match for these Ice Sculpturess, but now it was different; these Ice Sculpturess were definitely just a delivery of food.

“Sixth-Rank Ice Sculpturess? They are quite strong, but unfortunately, I have mastered Mental Energy now; you simply cannot compete with me.”

If he could take them all down, Li Daoxuan's cultivation could also rapidly increase.

Because their flesh and Beast Crystals could be converted into resources to boost Li Daoxuan's cultivation.

Li Daoxuan's cultivation speed was already fast; if he could have a large amount of resources, he would improve even faster, and large amounts of resources came from Vicious Beasts and Heaven And Earth Treasures.

Heaven And Earth Treasures were hard to find. It was already quite good that Li Daoxuan could obtain a spirit mushroom, and that spirit mushroom was no pushover.

He discovered that the Heaven And Earth Treasures in this world also had personalities. Aside from the ginseng he had obtained, he had only gotten one spirit mushroom.

But that spirit mushroom was very terrifying; besides being unable to move, it was very powerful. Had Li Daoxuan not acted quickly, he probably would have become its food long ago.

Furthermore, that kind of Heaven And Earth Treasure was not so easy to come by; it wasn't as fast as getting Vicious Beast corpses.

Thinking of this, the Dao Sword in Li Daoxuan's hand instantly shot out, while the taixuan sword remained beneath his feet.

To deal with them, the Dao Sword alone was enough.

Sure enough, under Li Daoxuan's control, those Vicious Beasts soon fell beneath his Sword.

When they fell beneath his Sword, Li Daoxuan went over without hesitation and began drinking their blood to boost his True Martial cultivation.

Li Daoxuan's True Martial cultivation was already decent, but it was only at the Fifth-Rank Peak; these sixth-Rank Vicious Beasts could definitely boost his cultivation.

As expected, as the blood of these beasts entered his stomach, Li Daoxuan's cultivation instantly broke through to the First-Stage Sixth-Rank True Martial Realm.

The remaining beast meat should be enough for him to break through to the Third-Stage Sixth-Rank. And those beasts also had Beast Crystals inside them; those were the truly good things. Only by taking these things could Li Daoxuan's cultivation advance by leaps and bounds.

Time passed bit by bit. Li Daoxuan settled down here. When he was about to finish eating these Ice Sculpturess, his Mental Energy swept out in all directions.

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but laugh; he had actually encountered some old acquaintances, though these acquaintances looked different now—they were clearly much older than before.

One must know that after reaching the True Martial Realm, every Rank increased adds a hundred years of lifespan. They were all fourth or fifth-Rank True Martial practitioners, yet in just ten years, they had aged significantly.

At the same time, their expressions were incredibly panicked, as if something were chasing them.

They were holding a young girl in their arms, seemingly protecting her. Li Daoxuan knew what they had done.

To protect this girl, these people had actually ignited their own life force.

He wondered what danger they had encountered that would make them ignite their life force to flee for their lives.

Li Daoxuan murmured, “This is somewhat interesting. Let me go see what exactly happened to you all that made you flee like this.”

Mental Energy cultivation at the same level is inherently stronger than True Martial cultivation, meaning the current Li Daoxuan could exert combat power equivalent to the Peak Sixth-Rank True Martial Realm.

Not only that, at the same level of cultivation, Li Daoxuan's True Martial combat power was also incredibly strong. In this situation, when Li Daoxuan combined the two, his combat power was no worse than a Seventh-Rank True Martial practitioner.

Adding his Power of the Great Dao and the taixuan sword, his combat power was even more formidable.

Thus, Li Daoxuan, being bold due to his high skills, rushed toward those few fellows without hesitation.

When Li Daoxuan had first met them, there were eight of them, but now only three remained. All three were at the Fifth-Rank Peak, but they clearly had very heavy injuries on their bodies.

If they continued to run wildly like this, it probably wouldn't be long before they perished on the spot.

“Whoosh!”

Li Daoxuan's figure appeared before them. The three of them quickly hid the girl behind them and went on high alert.

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but smile and say, “It seems a few friends no longer recognize me? It has only been ten years.”

The three of them carefully sized up Li Daoxuan, a sharp light flickering in their eyes.

“Are you that Young Master who hunted the Mammoth?”

At this moment, the three of them finally remembered. The Li Daoxuan before them was the person who had helped them raise their cultivation to the fifth Rank.

Seeing Li Daoxuan now, surprised smiles appeared on their faces.

“Young Master, I didn't expect you to still be here. Run quickly! People from Beiming City are chasing us, and one of them is a seventh-Rank expert.”

Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up, and he said with a chuckle, “Is it just a seventh-Rank expert?”

The man nodded hastily and said, “Yes, Young Master, let's leave quickly now, shall we?”

A smile appeared on Li Daoxuan's face, and he shook his head slightly, saying, “It just so happens I want to meet a seventh-Rank fellow.”

His cultivation had reached the Sixth-Rank True Martial Realm, and combined with his Fifth-Rank Peak Mental Energy, it was just a seventh-Rank expert—it wasn't as if he couldn't kill one.

Hearing Li Daoxuan's words and seeing his self-assured manner, the three of them couldn't help but believe him a little.

The little girl stood behind the three men, cautiously poking her head out to look at Li Daoxuan.

Her large eyes blinked and blinked; she looked extremely cute.

Li Daoxuan could clearly sense a mass of powerful Mental Energy in the girl's mind, and her talent for cultivating Mental Energy was also quite good; she was a good prospect for cultivating Mental Energy.

“Hey, little one, you must Cultivate well in the future and not let down the protection your uncles have given you.”

The little girl nodded quickly and then swiftly pulled her head back in.

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but laugh, then turned his gaze in one direction.

He reached out a hand to guide it, and the taixuan sword shot out directly toward that direction.

Although the Power of the Great Dao and taixuan sword were originally one, they were also very powerful when separated.

The taixuan sword shot directly in that direction because a seventh-Rank expert was chasing them from there.

Seeing that he was about to catch up, the expert was surprised to see a long Sword flying toward him; he could clearly sense a dangerous aura from the Sword.

This dangerous aura came from the Sword itself and also from the Mental Energy wrapped around it.

Li Daoxuan controlled the Flying Sword to slash directly at the opponent, while the Dao Sword quietly circled around to the opponent's rear.

Sensing the power of the taixuan sword, the seventh-Rank True Martial expert didn't dare to face it head-on and could only dodge cautiously.

He had no perception at all that another Flying Sword was staring at him from behind like a tiger watching its prey.

Li Daoxuan guided with both hands, and the two Flying Swords attacked from front and back.

The seventh-Rank expert was only focused on the Flying Sword in front and did not notice the Dao Sword behind him.

“Puchi!”

The Dao Sword plunged directly into his body, and in that instant, the life force within him began to vanish continuously.

The seventh-Rank True Martial expert's expression changed drastically, but at that moment, the taixuan sword in front also struck, severing his neck in an instant.

The seventh-Rank True Martial expert watched helplessly as he was killed, his eyes revealing a look of unwilling resentment.
