Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

Relying on the superhuman speed of the crimson blood bat phantom, Jiang Shi severed the arm of Lu Yuanfeng, a sword cultivator from the Qingyun Sect, with a single sneak attack.

Then, the several beams of divine light from the Wood element that Jiang Shi emitted struck Lu Yuanfeng heavily.

Lu Yuanfeng's entire cultivation lies in his swordsmanship. Once the Silver Light Flying Sword is lost, he will have no means of fighting or defense.

The more skilled a swordsman is, the more this is true; they practice only one sword technique, focusing solely on it.

The saying goes, "Concentrate on one point, and you'll reach the pinnacle!"

This is why sword cultivators are considered the best cultivators in the world.

This is an advantage, but also a weakness.

Once a sword cultivator loses the flying sword that they can use to express their mind and spirit, they will have no means of fighting and will be at the mercy of others!

Jiang Shi only needed a few beams of Yi Wood Divine Light to severely injure Lu Yuanfeng on the spot. If Lu Yuanfeng hadn't possessed profound magical power and been a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, he would have been much stronger.

He is now dead!

"Wait... a minute!" Lu Yuanfeng coughed up blood and said tremblingly. He wanted to beg for mercy and live.

The moment he had this thought, with a "snap," Lu Yuanfeng's sword heart shattered.

The Silver Light Flying Sword, refined day and night for over a hundred years, lost the connection with Lu Yuanfeng's sword heart and ceased to recognize him as its master, beginning to dim and lose its luster.

Even if Lu Yuanfeng survived, he would never be able to repair his sword heart and become a sword cultivator again.

Jiang Shi, of course, would not let him off the hook; to be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself.

The three top-grade magic artifacts, the Bone-Piercing Needles, transformed into three red lines that quietly approached and then suddenly accelerated, piercing into Lu Yuanfeng's body.

Then, under Jiang Shi's control, the fiery energy burst forth from the Bone-Piercing Needle.

"Ah!" Lu Yuanfeng was instantly burned alive, and a generation of Qingyun Sect sword cultivators perished.

Lu Yuanfeng's body fell downwards and landed on the river. A dark shadow leaped out from underwater, bit into the body, and began to devour it.

The dark figure was the three-headed demonic wolf. It was best to let the three-headed demonic wolf devour more flesh and blood. Only by eating more could it advance in the future. Right now, the three-headed demonic wolf was just icing on the cake and could not play a significant role in Jiang Shi's battle.

Even his future enemies, at the very least, will be like Lu Yuanfeng, who, even with this "Puppet Robbery" technique, will be unable to transfer all the damage.

It will only work if it is upgraded again.

After disposing of the body, Jiang Shi waved his hand, and a silver light flew up and landed in Jiang Shi's hand.

Jiang Shi looked down at his hand and saw a round, silver sword pellet in his palm.

This silver sword pellet is now emitting a dim light. After Lu Yuanfeng's sword heart shattered, the silver sword pellet became like this.

Jiang Shi's spiritual consciousness left his body and entered the Silver Light Sword Pill.

But at that moment, a sword aura shot out from the sword pellet, aiming straight for Jiang Shi's brow.

Sensing danger, Jiang Shi quickly moved away, and in that instant, he threw the silver sword pellet in his hand.

"As expected of an object that a sword cultivator would offer his heart and soul to, it seems impossible to quickly recognize this silver light sword pellet as his master," Jiang Shi said in a deep voice.

A sword cultivator's silver flying sword needs to be refined daily in order to achieve perfect harmony between mind and body.

Even if a sword cultivator dies, the sword pellets he leaves behind are not so easy to reclaim their master.

Even with Jiang Shi's powerful spiritual sense and profound magical power, he could not shorten the time required for the master to recognize him.

The only way to slowly remove the sword intent remaining inside the silver sword pellet is through time.

Of course, this is also because Jiang Shi does not understand some knowledge and techniques related to sword cultivation.

He has only learned one killing move from a sword cultivator.

【One Sword Transforms a Thousand: Beginner (100/500)】

This is a special killing move, unique to sword cultivators, and it doesn't even have different levels, with no ranking of Heaven, Earth, Profound, or Yellow.

This "One Sword Transforms into a Thousand" technique was the one he used during his battle with Lu Yuanfeng, the one that split into more than a dozen sword lights.

Jiang Shi learned it after only seeing Lu Yuanfeng use it once.

With this silver sword pellet and the killing move "One Sword Transforms into a Thousand", Jiang Shi has gained another trump card.

Although the Silver Light Flying Sword has not yet officially recognized a master, it's not a big problem. If it is refined daily, it will take about a month to remove the sword intent and successfully refine it.

After Jiang Shi collected the Silver Light Sword Pill and the storage bag left behind by Lu Yuanfeng, he reached out and a dark shadow slowly rose from the water, approaching the surface.

The dark figure was the fishing boat. Jiang Shi had used a high-grade magic artifact, the Water-Stabilizing Pearl, to send the old man Jiang and his grandson Jiang Yu underwater to protect them, fearing that they would be affected by the aftermath of the battle.

Now that the battle is over, they have naturally been brought back from underwater.

"Master." As soon as the fishing boat rose to the surface, the foam covering it burst open, and Jiang Yu jumped off the boat.

He held tightly to the river stone that was floating at the bow of the boat.

Jiang Yu cried bitterly, tears streaming down her face.

"Master, I thought I would never see you again. You have no idea how scared I was underwater."

"Alright, stop crying," Jiang Shi said.

Jiang Shi had important matters to attend to at the moment and had no intention of comforting Jiang Yu.

With his heart set on the Dao and the pursuit of immortality, how could he care about such sentimental matters?

Not to mention, Jiang Yu is still a young girl.

"Yu'er, don't disturb your master." Although Old Man Jiang was weak and his spiritual root was severed, he had lived for eighty years and had seen too many things, so he naturally knew what had happened to Jiang Shi at this moment.

A battle involving Foundation Establishment cultivators had just ended; how could the other party be in the mood to comfort their own granddaughter?

It's best not to bother Jiang Shi.

Jiang Shi indeed had no time to comfort Jiang Yu at that moment.

At this moment, Lu Yuanfeng, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator of considerable status in the Qingyun Sect, had just been killed, and he was also a sword cultivator.

The Qingyun Sect will definitely send more people to investigate this matter. If we don't leave now, we will face the pursuit of the entire Qingyun Sect.

Of course, Jiang Shi was unaware that the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators of the Qingyun Sect around him were terrified and dared not come to block him.

In the distance, three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators stood together, looking in Jiang Shi's direction.

"Senior Brother Lu, who exactly attacked Uncle Lu? Should we go and investigate?" Although the person asking the question asked whether they should investigate, they actually had no intention of going at all.

He wasn't stupid. If the other party could kill Lu Yuanfeng, a sword cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, then they were even less likely to kill great cultivators in the early or mid Foundation Establishment stages.

Going up to investigate is a dead end!

"No, let's report the situation to our sect leader first!" Senior Brother Lu said, and then he took out a Xiaoze Golden Sword.
