182: Chapter 182 Is this a rogue cultivator?

The Five Elements Shield, which was incomparably tough and had forcefully withstood dozens of Second Elder Du Jiang's all-out fierce attacks, completely shattered, turning into a sky full of fine, colorful specks of Spiritual Qi that dissipated into the air!

The remaining power of the deadly attack did not diminish, and, carrying a violent wave of Spiritual Qi, it slammed fiercely into Li Qing's Physical Body!

Second Elder Du Jiang's pupils constricted, and he stared fixedly at the center of the battlefield, a grimace of certain victory already curling the corners of his mouth.

With the shield shattered and the power of the double-deadly attack closing in, a junior at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage absolutely could not withstand it!

This blow would definitely leave Li Qing severely injured! He would definitely vomit blood! He would definitely die!

But the next second, the scene of Li Qing being sent flying, severely injured, and covered in blood as expected did not appear!

The moment the violent wave of Spiritual Qi exploded, a layer of dense purple lightning suddenly flashed around Li Qing's body!

Zzzzz—

Pale purple arcs of electricity rapidly leaped, flowed, and flickered across the surface of his skin, forming an invisible lightning shield!

Purple Thunder Body Refining Art, First Stage Perfection Major Achievement!

The overwhelming remaining power of the Water and Earth deadly attack washed over him, only causing a few wounds to appear on his body; the injuries he sustained were negligible!

Li Qing's figure remained firmly planted in place; his feet did not retreat a single step. Only his aura fluctuated slightly for an instant before quickly stabilizing.

The entire scene fell into instant silence!

The grimace on Second Elder Du Jiang's face froze completely. His eyes widened, almost bulging out of their sockets, and his face was filled with extreme disbelief!

He stared fixedly at the purple lightning dancing around Li Qing, completely stunned. His mind went blank, and unprecedented waves of shock surged in his heart!

"Body... Body Refining Technique?!"

He let out a low, involuntary roar, his voice trembling slightly, filled with disbelief.

He had broken through the Five Elements Shield and exhausted the double-deadly attack of himself and his Spirit Beast, yet he had only forced out the opponent's trump card of physical Body Refining?!

Furthermore, looking at the texture of the flowing lightning and the formidable degree to which his Physical Body withstood the damage, it was definitely a First Stage Perfection level Body Refining Technique!

At this moment, Second Elder Du Jiang's mentality completely shattered!

Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivation!

A Heaven-Defying top-tier defensive Cultivation Technique!

A Five Elements natal Flying Sword that combined offense and defense!

Now, there was actually a formidable First Stage Perfection Physical Body!

What kind of monster is this?!

Even a Personal Disciple carefully cultivated and piled with resources by Ten Great Sects of the Yunling Mountain Range could not possibly Cultivate their Cultivation Technique, Magic Treasure, and Body Refining Technique to such an extreme level while at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage!

For an ordinary Cultivator, being able to master one top-tier Cultivation Technique in a lifetime is already a great fortune, but Li Qing, who was before him, seemed to have monopolized all the great Luck and all the top-tier Opportunities for himself!

Jealousy!

Mad jealousy!

And regret that went deep into the bone marrow!

Such a perfect, Heaven-Defying peerless Prodigy—any single one of his foundations, if taken out, would be enough to make his own strength soar and allow him to dominate a region!

Yet, all these Heaven-Defying Opportunities belonged to this junior before him, whom he should have been able to crush with a wave of his hand!

If he could perform Possession on him and seize all his foundations, why would he worry about not achieving the Dao?

What a pity! Such a pity!

The regret and unwillingness in his heart almost overwhelmed Second Elder Du Jiang.

But what followed was a fear that went even deeper into his bone marrow!

Heaven-Defying Cultivation Technique, Heaven-Defying Magic Treasure, and even a Heaven-Defying Physical Body!

If such an enemy could not be completely killed today, once he grew up in the future, he would definitely be a catastrophe for him and the entire Du Family!

"Must die! You must die!"

Second Elder Du Jiang's face became increasingly ferocious and scarlet, his killing intent so thick it could not be dispelled.

Just in this short moment when his mind was shaken and distracted, Li Qing did not stop his actions at all.

He had already prepared a backup plan!

With a flick of his finger, a crystal-clear, milky-white Spirit Nectar with incredibly rich Spiritual Qi instantly entered his mouth.

The cold, pure spiritual power surged down his throat into his limbs and bones, flowing through his Meridians.

The Spiritual Qi that had just been consumed from activating the Five Elements Shield and controlling the Flying Sword was completely replenished in a mere instant!

Not only was it completely refilled, but the Spiritual Qi around him was even more abundant and vigorous than before!

The Spiritual Qi flowed smoothly and powerfully, and his state returned directly to its Peak!

"Spirit Nectar?! That is high-grade Spirit Nectar!!"

This scene fell into Second Elder Du Jiang's eyes, causing his already shattered mentality to completely collapse!

His eyes instantly turned blood-red, he stared fixedly at Li Qing, and his breathing became heavy and frantic!

Spirit Nectar! That is a top-tier cultivation resource!

Even a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator like him could not bear to use it easily in daily life, yet Li Qing actually took it out casually to replenish his spiritual power?!

Just how terrifyingly wealthy is this kid's background?!

Cultivation Technique, Magic Treasure, Physical Body, Spirit Nectar... any one of these is a peerless Opportunity, yet piling them all on one person is simply a waste of heavenly treasures!

The regret and greed in Second Elder Du Jiang's heart were about to overflow; he wished he could immediately rush up, strip Li Qing clean, and claim all the treasures for himself!

But before he could strike again, Li Qing had already taken the initiative!

"Since you have a Spirit Beast to assist you, then I will play with you as well."

Li Qing spoke calmly, his tone cold and composed, without a trace of panic.

His mind stirred slightly, and a soft shout was transmitted.

The next second, a fiery red, petite figure leaped out from his sleeve.

The Second Stage Early Stage Spirit Beast, the Red-tailed Fox, with a completely scarlet body, smooth and shiny fur, and a long, fluffy tail, instantly appeared on the battlefield!

After landing, the Red-tailed Fox's figure was incomparably agile, its eyes spirited and sharp, and it immediately locked onto the massive Green Water Scaled Crocodile opposite it.

"Go! Entangle it! Just delay it for a moment!"

Li Qing sent a mental message, issuing the command.

Although the Red-tailed Fox was only at the Second Stage Early Stage, in terms of direct, hard strength, it was far inferior to the Second Stage Middle Stage Green Water Scaled Crocodile; it definitely could not hold out for long in a direct confrontation.

But its greatest advantage was its extreme speed!

With its petite figure, ghostly movement, and agility, it was perfect for maneuvering, pulling, restraining, and entangling!

Upon receiving the command, the Red-tailed Fox's figure flashed, turning into a fiery red afterimage, and it instantly rushed out.

It did not engage the Green Water Scaled Crocodile head-on; it spent the whole time maneuvering and shifting, constantly darting around the giant crocodile to harass it, occasionally throwing out a fire blade to launch a sneak attack, precisely pulling the Green Water Scaled Crocodile's attention.

The Green Water Scaled Crocodile was massive and slow to turn and exert force; it was enraged to the heavens by the extremely agile Red-tailed Fox. Time and again it lunged and bit, but every time it missed, it was firmly restrained and simply could not free itself to cooperate with Second Elder Du Jiang's attacks!

The battle situation was instantly forcibly leveled by Li Qing!

Watching the Red-tailed Fox flexibly entangle and firmly restrain the water-type Yao Beast, Second Elder Du Jiang felt completely numb!

His lips trembled slightly, his eyes filled with unbelievable shock: "You... you actually still have a Second Stage Spirit Beast?!"

Another trump card! Another Opportunity!

At the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, he possessed a Heaven-Defying Cultivation Technique, a top-grade Flying Sword, a Perfection Body Refining Technique, and high-grade Spirit Nectar, and now he even had a Second Stage Spirit Beast by his side!

At this moment, Second Elder Du Jiang was completely dazed by Li Qing's layers of trump cards, his brain completely shutting down.

Is this still a Loose Cultivator?
