This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

"Not good!" Lu Qingshan's face changed suddenly, and he didn't hesitate to retreat rapidly.

—He felt an immense vitality, almost terrifying, suddenly emerging from the ground ahead.

Boom!

An extremely terrifying howl came.

A thick vine, like a giant python, lashed out across the sky.

As Lu Qingshan retreated explosively, the Dragon Sparrow had already crossed the sky.

This time, he didn't hold back at all.

Using the Immortal True Intent to evolve the Slaughter Sword Intent, he magnified the power of the Unity Realm's Slaughter Sword Intent to attach to the Dragon Sparrow, aiming directly at the giant vine.

The two clashed.

The outcome was completely different from before.

Under the influence of the Immortal True Intent, the power of Lu Qingshan's Flying Sword was qualitatively enhanced, directly chopping the thick vine into powder.

The dust scattered in the air.

"Courting death," Lu Qingshan merely snorted coldly.

To save Spiritual Power, he had always refrained from using Sword Intent when deploying the Flying Sword previously, which was why those three vines had managed to escape by cutting off their tails.

He hadn't expected the green vine to dare attack him again.

This time, with the full burst of power, even though this vine was much stronger than before, it was still directly chopped into powder by him.

....

"Hmm?"

A light hum arose in the darkness.

He had intended to chase away the Human Race individual who had rashly intruded into this place, but instead, he ended up receiving such a fierce attack.

He could feel that the power of this move was fundamentally different from the previous techniques.

After thinking it over, the person controlling the green vines sent out their senses, deeply perceiving for a moment, then muttered, "Something's not right. He's just a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator. Since when could a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator be this strong...."

Could it be that some unexpected change had occurred with the Human Race during this period, greatly increasing their strength?

Impossible. It shouldn't be like that. A few years ago, another Nascent Soul Cultivator had broken into this place, and he was very ordinary. I didn't even need to make a move, and he fled in a miserable state. Read exclusive adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

It seems then, that it must just be that this Nascent Soul Cultivator's methods are rather clever...."

However, he didn't think too much about it. "It seems I need to employ more techniques... otherwise, if he really makes it here, that would be troublesome...."

...

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

In the pool of the Duke of Thunder, after having slain that green vine, Lu Qingshan had not yet caught his breath when yet another three green vines sprouted out of nowhere, whipping towards him.

Moreover, as the three green vines swung, they even stirred the surrounding thunderous forces.

The Thunder Pool bubbled as if boiling, with arcs of lightning making crackling sounds, plunging into chaos.

The thunder danced, like electric snakes, biting towards him.

Lu Qingshan gave a low shout, his right hand waved, and both the Dragon Sparrow and the Peach Blossom Sword flew out together.

It was the green vines that had triggered the surge of thunder. If he could slay these three green vines, perhaps he could calm the thunderous surge.

Sizzling!

Facing the swiftly moving Flying Swords, which brought forth the sound of thunder, the lightning arcs actually condensed into a Thunder Ball and bombed towards the two Flying Swords.

Boom, boom, boom—

The two Flying Swords collided with the Thunder Ball. Amidst a bombing sound so loud it almost drowned out the thunder, the Thunder Ball burst apart instantly, its contained lightning spreading in the surrounding space.

However, after the thunder, the place where Lu Qingshan had just been was now empty.

Hissss!

On closer inspection, Lu Qingshan had, at some point, already crossed the thunderous chaos and appeared right in front of the three green vines.

He executed the Formless Sword Escape, merging body with sword. With the Dragon Sparrow and the Peach Blossom Sword covering him, he crossed the chaos instantly by means of Oblivion, reaching near the green vines.

"Die!"

Lu Qingshan, holding the Oblivion, slashed three times with his sword, releasing intense Sword Qi towards those three green vines.

Ordinary Sword Techniques, even if capable of cutting through green vines, can hardly slay them—it's virtually a fantasy.

But in Lu Qingshan's sword strikes, carried were countless Sword Qi, which instantaneously shredded the green vines completely.

The green vines were instantly cut into numerous sections, falling onto the ground. Under the roaming terrain snakes of lightning, they hissed and turned to ash, scattering.

When the three green vines were all dealt with, the thunderous surge that had suddenly intensified also calmed suddenly.

"As I thought," Lu Qingshan murmured to himself.

When the green vines disappeared, the thunderous surge calmed!

Whew!

The howling arose once more, and the thunderous surge moved again.

"Again!" Lu Qingshan's expression changed.

This time, ten thick vines, as large as pythons, shot out from the thunderlight-covered ground around him, like long snakes catapulting into the sky, intertwining in midair, shooting out violently, seeking to pierce through Lu Qingshan.

Even though he still had some plans, Lu Qingshan found this situation quite troublesome.

The ten green vines looked terrifying, but they still could not trouble him.

The problem was that there were three vines before, and after he had slain them, they had suddenly turned into ten.

If he slew these ten vines now, would they turn into twenty, thirty next time?

A sense of crisis rose in his heart, but Lu Qingshan's hands did not pause; the Dragon Sparrow and the Peach Blossom moved as Flying Swords, transforming into surging sword lights that rolled out.

Meanwhile, he himself, holding Oblivion, rushed forward, attacking the green vine closest to him.

Sword Qi crisscrossed over the three-foot-long sword, with the Flying Swords producing thunderous howling sounds.

While battling the green vines, Lu Qingshan also tried moving deeper into Duke of Thunder's Pool, hoping to shake off these vines.

But the green vines were not fixed in place; as Lu Qingshan moved, they could disappear into the ground and then sprout from under the ground very close to him.

He would have to deal with these green vines before he could continue forward, otherwise, they would just keep following him, relentlessly wearing him down.
