Overpowering a Great Accomplishment Stage Cultivator (Part Two)
Liu Wugu, enraged and ashamed, was Sword Cultivator who had always been a prodigy. He had killed countless powerful figures and eventually became one of the few peerless experts in the Elder Pavilion of the Great Tang Dynasty.
With his cultivation at the Great Accomplishment Stage, who in the world would dare to underestimate him? Yet today, within this Imperial Palace, he was actually sent flying by a junior with the Dao Seeking Realm cultivation?
"You bastard! I'll kill you! Sword Light Slash!" Enraged, Liu Wugu twisted his body, dodging the Sea Calming Divine Needle, and transformed into Sword Light, charging towards Zhuge Xiang.
The Sword Light was fierce and incredibly fast. The Bone Sword in his hand was reversed, and the sharp Sword Edge instantly reached Zhuge Xiang's chest, thrusting straight down. It was so fast that Zhuge Xiang couldn't even react.
However, when the sword fell and struck Zhuge Xiang in the chest, Liu Wugu's expression froze, his eyes filled with disbelief and horror.
Indeed, Zhuge Xiang did not dodge the sword, but Liu Wugu's Sword Slash Zhuge Xiang's chest, only penetrated halfway into his flesh before stopping...
Zhuge Xiang's flesh and blood were incredibly tough, comparable to a defensive Half-Immortal Artifact. His skeleton was unparalleled in its sturdiness. Even Liu Wugu, a master of the Great Accomplishment Stage, could only penetrate halfway into Zhuge Xiang's flesh with this sword, which landed on Zhuge Xiang's ribs, unable to go any further...
"This is impossible!" Zhuge Xiang's strength was already astonishing, but now, his physical defenses could actually block his attack? This left Liu Wugu completely stunned.
With the cultivation of Great Accomplishment Stage expert, a single sword strike could cleave even the stars in the sky, yet... it couldn't penetrate this physical body?
Half a point? Not even the width of a finger. For anyone, that would only result in a superficial wound...
"I told you! Don't underestimate anyone in the world!" Ignoring Liu Wugu's incredulous and horrified expression, Zhuge Xiang reached out and grabbed Liu Wugu's hand holding the sword.
The Fourth Layer of the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique possessed terrifying power, accompanied by the sound of bones shattering. Although Liu Wugu's cultivation was strong, his physical body was not so formidable. The arm holding the Bone Sword was actually crushed by Zhuge Xiang.
"Get out of my way! I won't kill you today!" After crushing Liu Wugu's wrist, Zhuge Xiang flung Liu Wugu away with great force, and said.
Originally, seeing the opponent's cultivation level of the Fifth Layer of the Great Accomplishment Stage and his Blue Elite Target Status Panel, Zhuge Xiang wanted to use him to test his own strength. However, after the battle, he realized that the opponent was no match for him at all.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. With Third Layer the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique, and without the Sea Calming Divine Needle, he was able to kill Zombie King comparable to Great Accomplishment Stage. Now, with the Sea Calming Divine Needle in hand, and the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique at the Fourth Layer, although his cultivation level is lower, he believes his actual combat strength is enough to rival his Master's.
Even within the Great Accomplishment Stage, there are varying degrees of strength. For example, Liu Wugu, despite his strength, is merely a high-level expert within the Great Accomplishment Stage. On the other hand, Luo Ba is among the top three strongest in the Great Qin Empire. Zhuge Xiang's current strength is comparable to Luo Ba's, so naturally, defeating Liu Wugu is not a question in itself.
The Super Game System seems to be a balancing force for Zhuge Xiang's strength. If Zhuge Xiang's strength exceeds his cultivation level, he can challenge opponents of higher levels and will receive extra Experience Points, allowing his cultivation level to keep up with his strength and reach a synchronization. However, when facing targets with lower cultivation levels, the Experience Points will not only not increase, but will actually decrease, preventing his cultivation level from improving too quickly.
However, along the way, Zhuge Xiang had almost always challenged opponents of higher levels. Instead of narrowing the gap between his cultivation level and his actual strength, it felt like the gap was widening. The Dao -Dao Seeking Realm was no longer a sufficient measure of Zhuge Xiang's strength.
Zhuge Xiang had no intention of killing Liu Wugu. In Zhuge Xiang's view, Liu Wugu were ordered by the emperor and not his own intention to deal with Mo Lingna, so he did not deserve to die.
Besides, back then, he was able to spare the life of the Illusionary Nether King, but he only banished it. When he attacked him, he didn't intend to kill him. The Bone-Cutting Stab sword was only meant to injure his joints.
Therefore, since he had no intention of killing him, and considering the difficulty of achieving the Great Accomplishment Stage cultivation, Zhuge Xiang also had no intention of killing him. He merely crushed his wrist, rendering him powerless to fight...
"Zhuge Xiang, you truly have impressive skills. I never imagined that your cultivation could reach such a level..." Liu Wugu was defeated, but how could he be allowed to come and go as he pleased in the Great Tang Imperial Palace? Another elder appeared, an old man with white hair and beard, exuding an air of otherworldly grace. As soon as he appeared, it was as if all the sunlight in the Heaven and Earth gathered on his body, and his milky white Daoist robe seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light.
"Pavilion Master!" Liu Wugu stood with his hands at his sides, speaking with respect as he looked at the old man who had appeared.
"The Elder Pavilion Master? Daoist Master Wu Yazi? It's said that he reached the limit that the Cultivation World could withstand a thousand years ago, yet he still hasn't ascended?" The White National Teacher exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the old man who had appeared and Liu Wugu's address to him.
"Oh? You know me too?" Upon hearing the White National Teacher's exclamation, Zhuge Xiang spoke up. With his Data Eye, the old man's cultivation level was marked as Question Mark, clearly indicating that his cultivation level was definitely no less than that of the Golden Body Bodhisattva and Liao Wufa.
"Zhuge Xiang, with your mere Nascent Deity Transformation stage cultivation, you were able to convert the Great Belly Ghost King. This is common knowledge in the Great Tang Dynasty, so I naturally know you. But I never expected that your strength would have reached such a level," Daoist Master Wu Yazi said, stroking his long beard. His words were calm and collected, making it impossible for anyone to sense his fear.
"You don't need to flatter me, sir. I can tell from your strength that you are comparable to Gods and Buddhas of all Heavens." Zhuge Xiang did not seem proud of the Daoist Master's praise.
"Good eye! How about it? Would you like to join my Elder Pavilion? The position of Elder Pavilion Master in the future is undoubtedly yours," Daoist Master Wu Yazi said, making no attempt to hide his admiration for Zhuge Xiang.
These words shocked everyone present. Inviting Zhuge Xiang was understandable, but using the position of Pavilion Master as an olive branch was far too shocking.
"Pavilion Master, you..." Liu Wugu exclaimed in shock, his face changing drastically.
"I'm sorry, I'm not a very ambitious person. I appreciate your kindness, but all I want to do today is leave with my woman," Zhuge Xiang shook his head and declined Wu Yazi's invitation.
"There's nothing I can do about it. If you had agreed to join my Elder Pavilion, I would have had a reason to protect you before His Your Majesty. But since you refused, I have no choice but to arrest you as Your Majesty Zhuge Xiang commands..." Wu Yazi said, his aura locking onto Zhuge Xiang after hearing his refusal. (To be continued...)
