Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

"Hm?"

The moment the blood-eyed young man rushed out of the illusory maze, he immediately saw Li Yun. Upon seeing him, his expression changed slightly.

"Li Yun? You actually made it out of the illusory maze? Not only that, your cultivation has broken through to the Half-Step Mortal Core Realm?"

"Wait. That is... Sword Intent Grass? And it is five-thousand-year-old Sword Intent Grass?"

As the blood-eyed young man spoke, his gaze swept across the area and happened to land on the three sword-shaped stalks of Sword Intent Grass in Li Yun’s hand. In an instant, his expression changed, and wild joy appeared on his face.

This was actually five-thousand-year-old Sword Intent Grass.

Five-thousand-year-old Sword Intent Grass was an extremely rare treasure. Its value was even higher than many top-grade Earth Rank treasures. If he could obtain these three stalks of Sword Intent Grass, it would undoubtedly be a massive harvest.

"Li Yun, put down the Sword Intent Grass in your hand immediately."

He shouted sharply, his gaze incredibly cold. Looking at Li Yun as if he were looking at an ant, he said arrogantly, "I have come under the order of Crown Prince Xing Tian to kill you. If you know what is good for you, hand over the Sword Intent Grass with both hands, then obediently take your own life. That way, you can still die quickly. Otherwise, I will make you wish for death and regret ever being born into this world."

"It is you?"

Li Yun’s expression became cold as his gaze fell upon the blood-eyed young man’s pupils. With an icy and indifferent look, he said, "So you are the owner of the Spectral Blood Eye?"

The moment the blood-eyed young man appeared, Li Yun felt the sensation of being watched surge to its peak. Clearly, the person before him was the one who had used the Spectral Blood Eye to bring him endless trouble.

"Indeed, it is me."

The blood-eyed young man spoke proudly. "Everything you did in the Chaos Heaven Secret Realm was seen by me. With your strength, it is absolutely impossible for you to contend with me. I advise you to do as I say before I lose my patience."

"Is that so?"

Li Yun gave a cold laugh. "If you really saw everything I did, then by now, you should be turning around and fleeing immediately."

As his words fell, Li Yun suddenly swung his sword.

Swish!

A sharp Sword Qi instantly shot out from the tip of the blade. It was as fast as lightning, pushing speed to an extreme as it crashed toward the blood-eyed young man.

"Courting death."

Beside the blood-eyed young man, one of his companions sneered. "A mere Half-Step Mortal Core Realm cultivator dares to speak so arrogantly? Killing trash like you does not even require Big Brother Xue Han to act. I alone am enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, that person rushed forward like a gust of wind. At the same time, he struck out with his palm. His majestic essence qi condensed into a giant palm print in the air, ruthlessly slamming down toward the Sword Qi.

"Break for me."

A bloodthirsty smile appeared on the man’s face, as though he could already see his palm print shattering the Sword Qi and suppressing Li Yun.

However, in the next moment, his expression suddenly changed.

The Sword Qi did not seem especially shocking in power and appeared to rely only on speed, yet it was actually unstoppable. It directly tore through the palm print he had released and then slashed fiercely toward him from above.

"Not good."

His expression changed drastically, and he struck out seven or eight palms in succession.

However, the Sword Qi remained unstoppable. It surged forward with grand momentum and blasted him several yards away.

"What?"

Seeing this scene, the remaining companion and the blood-eyed young man both changed expressions.

The man who had just attacked was a cultivator at early stage of the 9th level of the Mortal Core Realm. Logically speaking, dealing with someone who had just stepped into the Half-Step Mortal Core Realm should have been as easy as turning over a hand.

Yet the result had been completely reversed.

With only one sword strike, that man had been directly defeated by Li Yun.

"Could it be that this kid left the maze formation before us and obtained some benefits here?"

The blood-eyed young man’s expression darkened.

Although the Spectral Blood Eye could lock onto Li Yun’s figure and allow him to monitor Li Yun’s movements most of the time, it was not omnipotent. For example, inside the previous maze formation, the Spectral Blood Eye had temporarily lost its effect.

Because of that, he did not know about Li Yun’s breakthrough within the maze formation or his feat of killing the Shadow Illusion Bat swarm in one move. He could only assume that Li Yun had walked out of the maze formation earlier and obtained some opportunity.

Thinking of this, the killing intent in his heart surged.

"What a joke. I am a dignified cultivator at the peak of the 9th level of the Mortal Core Realm, yet I have not obtained any opportunity. Meanwhile, this lowly Li Yun has actually gained the opportunity of an intermediate immortal cave. Kill him. He must be killed."

He barked coldly, "Attack together. Kill this kid."

"Kill!"

Hearing the order, the two men beside him roared at the same time and attacked together.

Boom!

By now, both of them understood that Li Yun’s strength could not be underestimated. This time, they held nothing back. Two massive streaks of Sword Qi erupted from their weapons and slashed directly toward Li Yun’s body.

At the same time, the blood-eyed young man let out a long howl. Monstrous blood light spread from his body, weaving through the air before gathering into a massive blood sword.

He grabbed the blood sword, and a surging aura of blood immediately erupted. Along with it came shrill sounds like ghosts wailing and gods howling. One ghostly shadow after another emerged around him, as if the underworld had descended into the mortal world.

"Slash!"

He suddenly swung his sword.

The massive blood sword carried monstrous blood light as it crashed down toward Li Yun.

Three 9th level Mortal Core Realm powerhouses attacked at the same time, and their combined power was incredible. It poured down like a roaring river, as though it intended to drown Li Yun completely.
