62: Chapter 62 Foundation Establishment Level 4

Two Flying Swords instantly appeared before them, blocking their path.

Immediately after, the Puppet army behind them arrived; the False Core Puppet took on Wen Tianhao, while two Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Puppets dealt with Li Xing.

Li Xing and Wen Tianhao were pinned down. Wen Tianhao, in particular, was struggling as he had to deal with the Flying Swords while being attacked by the False Core Puppet at the same time.

Li Daoxuan controlled the Flying Swords and Puppets to attack, the smile on his face impossible to hide.

Two Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, and both at the Middle Stage; after absorbing them, he would definitely be able to break through to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment or higher.

The fourth level of Foundation Establishment is the Middle Stage, and it is not to be compared to the Early Stage.

Take the Thread of Fate for instance; at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, one could control seven Magical Artifacts, greatly increasing combat power.

“Slurp!”

As he thought about it, he began to drool, and his attacks became even more ferocious.

Meanwhile, the Flying Swords and Puppets continuously pressed them toward the Blood Array; if he could drive them into it, the Blood Array would have a chance to level up again.

He didn't know where the Blood Array came from, but its Formation Plate would continuously upgrade after absorbing blood, which was quite excellent.

Li Xing was forced into the Blood Array, but it had not yet been activated.

Li Daoxuan was waiting for Wen Tianhao to be forced into the Blood Array as well; once it was activated, he could easily deal with the two of them.

Li Xing roared, “Senior Brother Wen, is there any other way? Use it quickly!”

Wen Tianhao said with a bitter smile, “Their attacks are too relentless. Even if I wanted to use my trump card, I can't find the opening.”

Li Xing nodded, gritted his teeth, and a bead appeared in his hand.

“Thunderclap Pearl?”

Li Daoxuan's heart skipped a beat when he saw the bead; it was actually a Thunderclap Pearl.

This was the grenade of the cultivation world; its power was immense, equivalent to a full-strength blow from a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Wen Tianhao said in surprise, “Quick, use it to attack the two Flying Swords! Once their master is injured, the Puppets he controls will weaken significantly.”

Li Xing naturally knew this, but he didn't attack the Flying Swords; instead, he hurled the Thunderclap Pearl toward Li Daoxuan.

Li Daoxuan was prepared. A small bell appeared to block for him as he rapidly retreated.

Of course, while doing this, only one Puppet stopped attacking; the others continued as before.

“Boom!”

The Thunderclap Pearl exploded, its powerful force sending the small bell flying. Because Li Daoxuan had kept his distance and hadn't refined the bell—controlling it via the Thread of Fate instead—he was naturally unhurt.

Since he wasn't injured, he ignored the bell that had been blown away and intensified his attacks on the two Cultivators.

Li Xing cursed, “Damn it, why is it like this?”

Wen Tianhao was frustrated. Although Li Xing's choice wasn't technically wrong—he just wanted to maximize the result...

...they had both overlooked this point, leaving them feeling helpless.

Wen Tianhao was also forced into the Blood Array. It activated instantly, and the figures of two Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators appeared along with a Half-Jiao.

The three of them charged forward frantically, engaging Wen Tianhao and Li Xing in battle.

“A Blood Array? It's actually a Blood Array? Are you the Blood River Sect Leader?”

Li Daoxuan hadn't expected anyone to recognize the Blood Array, and he had no idea who this 'Blood River Sect Leader' was.

While resisting the attacks, Li Xing said, “He must be a Disciple or successor of the Blood River Sect Leader. The Sect Leader's cultivation wouldn't be this weak.”

Wen Tianhao shouted, “Kill! Let's break out first; now is not the time for this.”

But how could they escape? The blood in their bodies was slowly disappearing.

As the wounds on their bodies increased, the blood flowed even more freely.

Li Daoxuan muttered, “Sigh, who told you to chase after me?”

Under his control, the False Core Puppet coordinated with the Half-Jiao, while the remaining two blood shadows of Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators also charged in.

The pressure on Li Xing lessened significantly, but Wen Tianhao was in a bad way; a single opening allowed the Half-Jiao to bite off his legs.

“Ah, damn it, damn it! If you want me to die here, don't think you'll have it easy either!”

But before he could finish, his arms were sliced off, and he fell straight to the ground.

Not far away, Li Xing watched in a daze. It was over just like that? Then wouldn't he...?

At that thought, he fell to his knees with a thud and hurriedly kowtowed, begging for mercy.

“Spare me! Have mercy, Fellow Daoist! I was wrong; I shouldn't have targeted you.”

Li Daoxuan stopped as well and asked, “Are you from the Cuiwei Li Family?”

Li Xing shook his head quickly. “No, no, I am not from the Cuiwei Li Family, but from the Taiji Sect's Li Family.”

Li Daoxuan nodded. “Oh, then it's fine. Kill!”

The nearby Puppet struck instantly, severing his arms and legs.

Using the Blood Array to hide the area, Li Daoxuan said with a smile, “Resources delivered right to my door; I should enjoy them properly.”

He placed his hands on the Dantians of the two Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, ignoring their screams.

The spiritual power in their Dantians flowed continuously into Li Daoxuan's body, where he quickly refined it into his own.

The cultivation of these two was decent, but the techniques they practiced only produced twenty-seven drops of liquid spiritual power per level; it seemed they weren't core Disciples of the Taiji Sect.

The most Advanced Cultivation Technique of the Taiji Sect could produce thirty-six drops of liquid spiritual power per level, but they hadn't received the true inheritance.

It made sense; not everyone could practice the Sect's top technique unless they had made great contributions or were descendants of the three Core Formation Old Ancestors.

Li Daoxuan sighed, “A pity. If only they had practiced the top technique.”

The spiritual power in these two Cultivators' Dantians totaled two hundred and seventy drops; how many drops of liquid spiritual power could Li Daoxuan gain from them?

As time passed, Li Daoxuan sat there for two days and two nights.

The Wen and Li families of the Taiji Sect were in an uproar; the two who had gone out to intercept and kill Li Daoxuan had not returned.

Fortunately, Li Daoxuan hadn't killed them outright, so their Soul Lamps hadn't gone out—they had only grown dim.

Two days later, looking at the two men on the brink of death, he couldn't help but say, “Honestly, you two have quite the tenacity. You're still not dead?”

Wen Tianhao murmured, “E-Evil... Evil Cultivator!”

After saying that, he breathed his last, dead as could be.

Li Xing held on for a little while longer after Wen Tianhao died before also passing away.

At this point, Li Daoxuan stood up, looked at the two corpses, and sighed. “I'll just have to bury you here casually. I really must thank you for helping me raise my cultivation.”

With a casual palm strike, the two corpses were buried into the soil. He packed up the Blood Array Formation Plate and quickly departed.

The harvest this time was truly good; although he had wasted quite a bit of spiritual power, it allowed the liquid spiritual power in Li Daoxuan's body to reach one hundred and twenty-two drops.

He had reached the fourth level of Foundation Establishment; his goal for this trip was complete.

After he left, people from the Taiji Sect came looking; they found the two corpses and remained silent.

The patrolling Disciple was found and questioned, after which Li Daoxuan's portrait was posted throughout the entire territory under the Taiji Sect's jurisdiction.

But who would be so stupid as to go to the Taiji Sect to exchange for a foundation establishment pill using their real face?

Li Daoxuan was, after all, a transmigrator; he was well aware of Earth's Four Great Sorceries.

In any case, relying on that portrait, they would never find the real Li Daoxuan.

By this time, he was already flying happily toward Yunding Peak, delighted by the rapid increase in his cultivation.

However, it wouldn't be possible to increase it again in the short term, otherwise his Foundation would be damaged. This was the perfect time to stay home and spend time with his two children.
