Chapter 717: Chapter 282: Fierce Battle, One Sword Shatters Ten Thousand Spells

"Just you!"

Elder Tian Can’s face changed.

His presence near Celestial Essence City wasn’t much of a secret, but there were few who knew.

The person before him seemed to know, and from his words, it seemed he knew Elder Tian Can well and understood many of his secrets, suggesting he wasn’t just the loose cultivator Elder Tian Can imagined.

In his heart, he couldn’t help but start to wonder.

It should be known that, although he acted recklessly before, a careful analysis would reveal that those he targeted were often loose cultivator factions and small cultivation clans, which usually didn’t have profound backgrounds.

And this was the reason he had been able to live freely for so long.

If he had truly provoked a major faction, and a Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer cultivator or even a Core Formation Realm powerhouse took action, no matter how fast he was, he would not be able to match a Core Formation powerhouse across such a significant realm.

This time.

The reason he dared to directly pressure Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land and acted so boldly was that he had already learned beforehand that the development of that spirit land relied entirely on Kunpeng Daoist, a Pill Master.

Although this Pill Master’s strength wasn’t weak and he had a record of overcoming stronger opponents in Reversal Immortal Slaying battles.

But he was a Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

The opponent’s so-called Reversal Immortal Slaying had only killed a Fifth-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivator who had just broken through into the Fifth Layer.

In terms of strength comparison, his was incomparably greater.

Moreover, he hadn’t heard of Kunpeng Daoist having any profound background, so he didn’t take these things too seriously.

Now, hearing the disdain in Zhou Changwang’s tone, he inexplicably felt a bit uneasy and already had a faint intention to retreat.

However, although he wanted to retreat, Zhou Changwang was furious.

Without any hesitation, he went straight for the attack.

The Thirty-Six Flying Heaven Sword Formation was unleashed.

Elder Tian Can urgently summoned his Flying Sword, transforming it into a stream of light to fiercely collide with it.

Boom!

The giant sword collided fiercely with the opponent’s Flying Sword, producing a resounding clash.

Then there was a brief pause.

The giant sword and the Flying Sword surprisingly flew backward at the same time.

Evenly matched!

At this moment, countless cultivators watching from afar were all shocked.

Even though they all knew Zhou Changwang’s strength very well, as his previous battle had already caused quite a stir throughout Celestial Essence City.

Thus, although everyone knew Kunpeng Daoist was only at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, they regarded him as a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

After all, his strength had already reached that level.

But the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment?

In terms of strength, he should be much stronger than him.

But now, what were they seeing?

His giant sword’s strike was actually comparable in power to that of a Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Although this strike appeared to be a hurried one from Elder Tian Can, it likely wasn’t his full strength attack.

Its power definitely reached the Seventh-Layer level.

In other words, Kunpeng Daoist’s full power strike had truly reached the Seventh-Layer level.

"I truly didn’t expect that Kunpeng Daoist’s strength would be this terrifying.

Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishment.

What is his actual realm?

Second-Layer Foundation Establishment, or yet Third-Layer Foundation Establishment?"

From afar, someone suddenly spoke up, with a tone full of amazement.

This person was, unsurprisingly, Li Family Patriarch Li Yuansheng of the Talisman-Making Family.

He had always paid close attention to this neighbor; previously, he sent people to make contact and even cooperated with him in some areas.

But he hadn’t thoroughly investigated, only knowing Kunpeng Daoist’s mysterious origin, being a Pill Master with formidable actual combat power.

But seeing the power he unleashed now, Li Yuansheng was truly a bit shocked.

"When he first appeared, he should have only had the realm of First-Layer Foundation Establishment.

As of now, he should be only Second-Layer Foundation Establishment, at most Third-Layer."

A person beside him promptly replied.

"Such a vast span in strength.

This person, no one knows where he popped up from, or if he’s a direct disciple from some secret sect.

However, I’ve also heard of this Elder Tian Can’s name; his strength isn’t weak, even if he’s not among those capable of fighting across realms, he’s rarely bested in the same realm.

The crucial point is that once he employs his speed-based divine techniques, hardly anyone in the Foundation Establishment Realm can catch him.

Therefore, Elder Tian Can is essentially in an unbeatable position.

Kunpeng Daoist, though strong, his realm still lags behind.

If the battle continues, he might suffer losses."

Saying this, Li Yuansheng also shook his head.

"Then Ancestor, what do you mean?"

Down below, Li Family Patriarch, knowing the temperament of their ancestor well, sensed there must be a certain profundity in his words, so he swiftly inquired.

"Next, if it appears that Kunpeng Daoist is in a tough spot, it’s better to offer some help.

Being neighbors, it wouldn’t be right to ignore him when he’s in dire straits."

Li Yuansheng smiled and said.

"But this Elder Tian Can is not easy to deal with.

If we insist on providing assistance, he will certainly retaliate against our Li Family in the future, unless absolutely necessary, I think we should avoid provoking him."

Upon hearing this, Li Family Patriarch pondered awhile before speaking.
