Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 786 - Expert in Calculation First

Chapter 786: Chapter 786: Expert in Calculation [First Update] Chapter 786: Chapter 786: Expert in Calculation [First Update] Flames incinerated the heavens, the raging fire twisted the space around it, and the temperature soared suddenly. Not far away, the surface of the lake boiled over, and steam rose.

A fierce killing intent assaulted from ahead, causing the infuriated Luo Jiang to sober up slightly. He immediately realized that Li Xiaoyao truly intended to kill him. What chilled his heart the most was that Li Xiaoyao indeed possessed the strength to do so.

Stabilizing his figure in mid-air, Luo Jiang drew out a blood-red Furious Blade. He grasped the hilt tightly with both hands; the blade edge was like a thorn, sweeping up an arc as brilliant as the sun, moon, and stars, cleaving down towards Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao raised his hand and pointed, and with Trapped Sky Finger carrying an overwhelmingly domineering force, he directly shattered the slash of the blade.

“Boom!”

As the two attacks collided, they erupted in a heart-trembling energy that spread in all directions. The grass below had long been left like ruins, with sparse black smoke rising up.

Li Xiaoyao’s speed did not lessen; his body turned into lightning, the Seven Star Ancient Sword flashed out of its sheath like a ghostly shadow, skimming close to the ground. Due to the excessive speed, it even pulled up a white mark on the grassland.

...

“Swoosh!”

The Ancient Sword almost instantly stabbed towards Luo Jiang, who felt his scalp tingle, and his sense of crisis peaked. He held the blade in both hands to guard his throat.

“Clang!”

Sword and blade clashed, and rings of energy continued to spread; Luo Jiang was once again forced to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood under this power.

“How can this strength be so terrifying?” Astonishment replaced rage. The power of Li Xiaoyao was terrifying, so terrifying that it made him consider retreating.

He had thought that killing Li Xiaoyao would be as simple as lifting a finger, but unexpectedly, this seemingly young lad possessed a level of strength and means that was terrifyingly formidable.

As Li Xiaoyao’s unrelenting barrage of attacks continued, the advantage was expanding with a terrifying momentum.

Even those Nascent Soul Realm Venerables could clearly sense this. And now, in their hearts, an absurd thought emerged: Could Li Xiaoyao actually kill Luo Jiang today?

No sooner had this thought arisen than they dismissed it from their minds.

Li Xiaoyao had caught Luo Jiang off guard, but to talk of killing him seemed far-fetched.

Nascent Soul Realm Venerables each had their life-preserving techniques. Even though Li Xiaoyao had displayed shockingly powerful capabilities and trump cards, killing Luo Jiang was still a considerable difficulty.

“Brat, I will kill you today!” Luo Jiang roared in a fury that echoed through the skies. His faltering momentum also climbed step by step at this moment.

“Oh really?” Li Xiaoyao, sprinting at high speed, curved his lips in disdain, as if he had heard a joke that amused him. Trapped Sky Finger was ready, his gaze locked onto Luo Jiang like an eagle targeting its prey, waiting for the next moment Luo Jiang showed a flaw, and with that one point, he would strike to kill!

Had Li Xiaoyao truly wanted to kill him, he wouldn’t need to go through such trouble. Unsheathing the Patching Heaven Arrow would suffice to kill Luo Jiang in one fell swoop, even denying him a chance to flee.

But Li Xiaoyao did not do so, for he was acutely aware that once he took out the Patching Heaven Arrow, this battle might no longer be just between him and Luo Jiang.

A man without guilt may be blamed for the possession of a precious jade. How could Li Xiaoyao, so well-versed in the laws of the jungle, not understand such a simple truth?

Li Xiaoyao even felt some regret for deploying the Trapped Sky Finger so early.

At the Sixth Rank of the Spirit Condensation Realm, he had put Luo Jiang, at Fourth Rank of the Nascent Soul Realm, in such a disheveled state with a powerful martial art. This martial art was likely already coveted by many.

But what’s done was done, and regret was useless now.

After all, this kind of thing was bound to happen sooner or later; even if Luo Jiang hadn’t forced his hand today, someone else would have tomorrow.

Now, the most pressing matter was to kill Luo Jiang, thereby earning himself the right to speak as an equal in the eyes of those Nascent Soul Realm Venerables.

The aura on Luo Jiang’s body surged violently, and his retreating figure came to a sudden stop as the blood-colored Furious Blade was thrust into the ground, the halt extremely abrupt.

Luo Jiang’s blood blade pierced the earth, his left eye hollow like a blood spring, his clothes already tightly clinging to his skin, his whole person radiated an explosive murderous aura, as if he were a traveler from Hell itself.

A terrifying momentum burst forth from his body, unleashing a wave of energy that instantly dispersed the surrounding sea of flames, creating a vacuum, resembling Asura.

The Seven Star Ancient Sword turned half a circle in the air, then descended in an instant. Li Xiaoyao’s figure came to an abrupt halt, one foot stepping on the Ancient Sword, his cold eyes looking into the distance, the killing intent in his eyes stronger than ever before.

“Rakshasa Body!”

Luo Jiang let out a hoarse shout, and as the bloody aura rose, he truly resembled a Rakshasa who had come from Hell, his whole body exuding an odor and a fear-inducing aura that made one want to vomit and tremble.

Many Nascent Soul Realm Venerables were somewhat astonished by Luo Jiang’s transformation and secretly marveled, “Rakshasa Body!”

“Although the Rakshasa Sect has fallen into decline in recent years, it once dared to challenge the three major guilds. This Rakshasa Body, it is said, can communicate with the envoys of Hell, borrowing their energy for a brief period.”

Li Xiaoyao was slightly surprised. As expected of an Ancient Sect, such methods were indeed extraordinary.

The sudden surge in momentum was at least that of a Fifth Rank Nascent Soul Realm.

The palm of his hand under his sleeve gripped slightly, his tongue lightly brushing his somewhat dry lips.

“It must be a kind of Secret Technique; the borrowed power is indeed very powerful. Rakshasa Body, I wonder how it compares with my Divine Invocation Technique,” Li Xiaoyao thought to himself but did not immediately use the Divine Invocation Technique.

Combat with a Cultivator who was several times more powerful in terms of cultivation level, Li Xiaoyao believed, was not just a test of one’s own cultivation. Rather, it was more about the intricate calculations.

An inexhaustible trump card, powerful Martial Arts, a divine weapon against the heavens.

These trump cards that could enhance one’s cultivation level indeed had the potential to allow an ordinary Cultivator to instantly possess the power to contend with higher-ranked Cultivators. But without the proper arrangement of these trump cards, it was absolutely impossible to bring all their power into play.

Li Xiaoyao always swiftly reviewed his strategy before each battle.

Like now, facing Luo Jiang, whether to use the Divine Invocation Technique or the Trapped Sky Finger, which one would be more effective and have a deterrence effect in a short amount of time?

Without doubt, Trapped Sky Finger!

Of course, Li Xiaoyao could also use the Divine Invocation Technique, and the difference between the two wasn’t significant. Now that Li Xiaoyao needed nearly the same amount of time to use the Divine Invocation Technique as the Trapped Sky Finger, under these circumstances, he could perfectly execute the more potent Trapped Sky Finger first to achieve an absolute deterrence effect.

Powerful Martial Arts naturally had their drawbacks, and the drawback of Trapped Sky Finger was that, with Li Xiaoyao’s current cultivation level, he could at most perform it three times.

Against an ordinary Cultivator, not to mention three strikes, a single one could obliterate them completely.

However, Luo Jiang in front of him was clearly much stronger than Li Xiaoyao had anticipated.

Using only the Trapped Sky Finger was unlikely to kill him.
