Chapter 389 - 232: Sword-Slashing the Turtle Shell, Innate Sword Bone
Mo Qingxue was genuinely surprised.
The Tier Three Grand Array on Changqing Mountain actually made her sense a trace of danger.
“Li Chang’an, you actually managed to acquire a Tier Three Array?”
“Just a fortunate encounter.”
Li Chang’an smiled.
“A friend of mine came across this Array by chance and traded it to me for some Treasures.”
“You certainly have a lot of friends.”
Mo Qingxue didn’t press the matter, instead stepping inside the Array to feel it out more closely.
This Array… it would have no problem blocking someone at the Early Stage of Golden Core.
And that old fool Nie Yu’s Cultivation was precisely at the Early Stage of Golden Core.
“Li, did you invite me here because you were worried Nie Yu would call for outside help?”
“That’s exactly right.”
Li Chang’an took out some top-quality Spirit Tea to serve Mo Qingxue.
The two sat in the courtyard, sipping tea and discussing their Cultivation Insights.
Before they knew it, noon had arrived.
Mo Qingxue suddenly put down her teacup and glanced toward the horizon.
A moment later, Li Chang’an sensed an extremely powerful Sword Intent rapidly approaching.
Immediately after, an icy voice rang out.
“Li Chang’an, I’ve heard you spend all your years on Changqing Mountain studying the art of survival, building yourself a turtle shell. Today, I’ll show you how I shatter that shell of yours!”
The moment the voice fell,
A brilliant golden streak of sword light descended from the sky, striking heavily upon Changqing Mountain’s Array.
BOOM!
The sword light exploded, dissipating between heaven and earth.
But Changqing Mountain remained perfectly still, completely unaffected.
Nie Wushuang arrived outside Changqing Mountain. Seeing it completely undamaged, he couldn’t help but frown.
That strike hadn’t achieved the effect he’d expected.
Li Chang’an stood up and cupped his hands in a polite gesture.
“Daoist Nie, there is no grievance or enmity between us. Why must we resort to violence? Why not sit down for a cup of tea?”
“Li Chang’an, I told you long ago that the next time we met, I would cut you down!”
Nie Wushuang’s tone was cold, his aura sharp and domineering, and Sword Qi flared all around him.
With a grand wave of his hand,
A full eighteen streaks of golden light flew from his Storage Pouch. They transformed into eighteen Tier Two Top Grade Spiritual Swords that radiated a chilling aura, circling around him to form an imposing Sword Array.
“Go!”
Nie Wushuang was full of confidence.
This attack had already surpassed the Foundation Establishment Limit. Countless geniuses had died beneath this very strike.
He refused to believe that Li Chang’an’s Array could block it without taking any damage.
However, after the strike, Changqing Mountain remained completely unharmed. Within the mountain, everything was calm and peaceful, as if it had only been struck by a tiny, insignificant pebble.
Meanwhile, his eighteen Spiritual Swords were all sent flying backward, each one looking significantly dimmer than before.
“How is that possible?”
Nie Wushuang’s eyes sharpened as he scanned the entire Grand Array.
An unbelievable thought gradually surfaced in his mind.
’Could it be… that this Grand Array has reached Tier Three?’
If that were true, then for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Changqing Mountain was indeed an impenetrable turtle shell!
“I refuse to believe it! You’re merely in the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment. How could you have obtained such a fortunate encounter?”
Nie Wushuang snorted coldly, activated his Sword Array, and attacked once more.
However, no matter what tactics he employed, Changqing Mountain remained as it was. Not a single blade of grass or tree on the mountain was damaged in the slightest.
In just a few moments, Nie Wushuang had consumed over half of his Magical Power!
The Sword Array was powerful, but its consumption was too great to be sustained for long.
In the past, no Foundation Establishment opponent had ever been worthy of him using the Sword Array multiple times.
“Why won’t it break?”
Nie Wushuang’s face was ashen. He swallowed a few Elixir Pills to restore his Magical Power.
At that moment, Li Chang’an spoke again, “Daoist Nie, cultivation is not easy. Why must we fight? You should know that the Immortal Path is long. There is no need to compete to be first for a moment; what’s important is to walk steadily and go far.”
Nie Wushuang shouted coldly, “Li Chang’an, do you dare to come out and fight me?”
“Daoist Nie, we are not enemies. Why should I fight you?”
“You…”
Nie Wushuang was at a loss for words.
He had always heard the name ’Turtle,’ but today he was finally seeing it for himself.
Even with someone attacking his own domain, Li Chang’an still looked calm and composed, with no intention of accepting the challenge.
Being cornered at one’s own doorstep was not a matter of pride. It would likely lead to ridicule.
But Li Chang’an didn’t care at all.
His attitude left Nie Wushuang with no way to deal with him.
But this couldn’t go on.
Nie Wushuang steeled his heart. His aura surged, and another nine Tier Two Top Grade Spiritual Swords flew out from his Storage Pouch.
Seeing this, Li Chang’an’s gaze sharpened, and he observed carefully.
’Has this guy also reached the realm of a twenty-seven-sword Sword Array?’
He mused to himself, wanting to see how Nie Wushuang would deploy the Sword Array.
But just then, an old voice suddenly sounded from not far away.
“That’s enough, Wushuang. You have not yet fully mastered that Sword Array. You cannot force its use.”
Nie Yu appeared, arriving in front of Nie Wushuang in an instant, and put away the nine extra Spiritual Swords.
Nie Wushuang was unwilling to give up.
“Grandfather, let me try one more time! I can definitely break his turtle shell!”
“And what if you do break it?”
Nie Yu shook his head slightly, his aged eyes looking into the Array.
He smiled and cupped his hands.
“Daoist Mo, you seem to have a lot of free time. To think you’re not at the Mo Clan Territory, but here on Changqing Mountain, sipping tea.”
“One grows restless from too much quiet. I decided to take a walk.”
Mo Qingxue said indifferently.
Nie Yu laughed. “Daoist Mo, this is a matter between the younger generation. Why don’t we make an agreement? Neither of us will interfere, and we’ll let them resolve it slowly amongst themselves.”
“Fine.”
Mo Qingxue’s tone was cold as she tossed out a Spirit Contract.
Next, the two signed the Spirit Contract and swore an oath on their Dao Hearts at the same time.
From then on, neither of them would interfere in the conflict between Li Chang’an and Nie Wushuang.
