Otherworld Advance Team-Chapter 1744 - 1737: Hopeless Battle

She was also lucky, immediately discovering an unguarded cultivator. You must understand that most of these cultivators usually maintain magic protection. Even Royal Dao cultivators intentionally learn a trick or two since it’s a very effective life-saving skill.

It’s worth noting that this group of dozens of cultivators is already a rather luxurious private entourage even in Kyushu, illustrating the Wu Family’s level of attention toward the saints.

You have to know, just like mages, cultivators also depend on aptitude, and Kyushu relies on its large population to maintain such a number of cultivators.

However, beginner cultivation is easy; improving further becomes extremely difficult, requiring enormous resources and heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Without family backing, ordinary people have no chance to advance.

The continuous encounters with cultivators by the advance team weren’t due to coincidence or simply because there were too many cultivators in Kyushu. Their identity naturally attracted cultivators, especially the attention of the Wu Family.

The number of Nascent Soul realm experts in Kyushu is uncountable because no family would openly disclose their assets.

Even if these families have experts who have successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul realm, they would merely announce their death to the public, instead of celebrating gaining a new Nascent Soul realm expert.

This is a form of deterrence, like nuclear weapons on Earth, using unknown power to extract deterrence on others.

Under the combined attack of the Heterogeneous Hall and the advance team, several cultivators from this group were lost at once, clearly indicating a brutal outcome.

Most of the time, the Nine Streams and cultivators minded their own business, only the saints would bring them together to slaughter each other.

As for the Nine Streams, the advance team always had a misunderstanding that they are inferior to cultivators, which wasn’t exactly the case.

Wanderers among the rivers and lakes, in addition to dealing with various grievances, must also possess the ability to kill cultivators. After all, since cultivation originated here, encounters with cultivators are quite frequent.

Star-shattering and Flow Redirect are exceptional skills developed specifically to counter cultivators. So after spending considerable time in the martial world, mastering such skills isn’t particularly challenging.

Cultivators have varying levels, and so does the Nine Streams. For those like Hun Jiansi, a Nine Streams figure with unique skills, killing a cultivator is relatively easy. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been recruited into the Emperor’s Sect.

The cultivator fighting Feng had a level higher than her; although only a Ba Path cultivator, they could still exert enormous pressure on her.

The higher the level of a cultivator, the less they depend on weapons, preferring to fight barehanded. This was very evident in this battle.

In Kyushu’s cultivation system, strengthening oneself is mainstream. Weapons serve merely as supplementary options. Thus, lower-level cultivators rely more on weapons, while higher-level ones tend to favor barehands.

Royal Dao and Ba Path are merely categories based on the operation of magic power. Across Kyushu, anyone slightly successful in cultivation isn’t strictly Royal Dao or Ba Path.

Therefore, when mentioning someone as a Royal Dao cultivator, it doesn’t imply they solely cultivate Royal Dao or are limited to it. It means they primarily focus on Royal Dao.

In most situations, if conditions allow, these cultivators dual-train in another school. Those mastering only one school mostly lack resources and can only specialize. freeweɓnovel-cøm

This dual-training is most common among Royal Dao cultivators. Most of those with the means specifically dual-train in Ba Path styles.

The most popular among them are Zhongyan and Banshan. These Ba Path techniques can greatly enhance Royal Dao cultivators’ survival rates in battle.

Feng’s opponent could be regarded as a Ba Path expert, well-versed in Zhongyan, Banshan, and Banshan. Coupled with Feng’s Kedal metal blade being ineffective against him, Feng quickly fell into a disadvantage, forced into relentless retreat and a pitiful situation.

Yalunte’s swordsmanship emphasizes surprise attacks and targeting weaknesses. But if the opponent has no weaknesses, this swordsmanship becomes meaningless.

Feng now faced this very problem; her opponent had almost no weaknesses, akin to an iron-clad turtle, hard to approach from any angle.

She even considered directly engaging in a magic power duel but quickly dismissed the thought.

Feng’s biggest issue was her unstable foundation and low magic reserves. Even though Hun Jiansi helped her improve considerably, it was not enough compared to her adversary. Seriously dueling would be disadvantageous.

Now she fondly remembered fighting with a sword in one hand and a spear in the other.

Employing agile footwork, Feng nimbly dodged. Her opponent, though a Ba Path expert, lacked slightly in Banshan technique, hence was less agile than Feng, often unable to fully leverage his strength.

Yet such a battle greatly depleted Feng’s stamina. Leaving aside her identity as a cultivator, Feng was essentially still just a girl, not as physically enduring as burly adult men.

After over ten minutes, Feng began to tire. The cultivator seized the opportunity, delivering a palm strike that Feng could no longer avoid, forced to brace herself for impact.

Upon palm contact, a potent magic surge burst forth, causing ordinary people to feel a skin-tingling magic disruption.

Fortunately, Feng realized the opponent didn’t take advantage by severing the acupoint in her palm. Nevertheless, she still struggled against the opponent, with a robust magic force shooting forth from his palm, tearing through her arm’s veins.

In this tremendous impact, Feng involuntarily let out a scream, sent flying backward by the opponent, her mask falling off due to a broken strap.

She landed over three meters away, rolling embarrassingly several times before stabilizing, but her pale arm turned crimson, unable even to lift a gun.

Amazingly, after repelling Feng, the cultivator didn’t immediately pursue but stood there, utterly shocked, exclaiming, "Such a girl, able to wield such immense inner strength, who exactly are you with such fierce skills?"

Hearing this, Feng felt a pang in her heart, realizing she seemingly exposed her identity.

Back in Hua State, Huayu Ting repeatedly warned her not to engage easily in conflicts. Once in battle, she must seek to eliminate the opponent, or else her identity could easily get exposed.

Unexpectedly, Huayu Ting’s words became prophetic, and she indeed encountered someone who recognized her true worth, now bringing trouble.

Before the cultivator pondered further, a qi force suddenly rushed towards him. He stepped back away, with Xing Hu quickly leaping before Feng, raising a blade and shouting, "What skill is there in bullying a girl? If you have guts, fight me two on one!"

In terms of endurance in battle, Xing Hu, as a formally trained famous disciple, was indeed much stronger than Feng’s wild path approach. At least he matched the cultivator and could even spare aid for Feng.

To Feng, Xing Hu was both simple-minded yet genuinely strong. Through this series of battles, his performance was quite impressive.

The cultivator fighting Xing Hu also rushed to his companion’s side, gazing at the surroundings of the inn adversely affected, remarked, "Didn’t expect them to have so many reinforcements, the Emperor’s Sect has certainly been watching them closely all along."

"It’s just the Heterogeneous Hall causing trouble; be careful," his companion remarked.

"We can’t hesitate anymore, prolonging, if the Dragon Trapping Array fails, we are completely hopeless," the man said.

"So..."

"Take out this troublesome fellow, not even Bai Xingzi can save him now!" The man gritted his teeth, clearly enraged.

"Be careful, they’re strong," Feng weakly warned.

"Humph, two trash, that’s all," Xing Hu glanced back at her, flashing a confident smile.

Just as they readied for battle, suddenly a series of anguished screams erupted not far away, mixed with explosive sounds, and magic fluctuations in the air were exceptionally prominent.
