Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Roles Reversed

Voices came from all directions.

In the next second, the young man’s expression changed drastically, and he quickly turned around.

Behind him, without knowing when it happened, stood a tall man, draped in a cloak, wearing a purple robe, standing like a jade pillar.

A complex aura of nobility mixed with iron-blooded evil Qi swept over him, complemented by a majestic presence.

It seemed as if there were no more enemies under the heavens before him, and only those beyond the mundane were qualified to be his adversaries.

In that instant, such a complex feeling emerged in the young man’s heart.

The next moment, the cloak flew up, shielding the cold sun.

Qi-blood and True Qi erupted.

Severing Flame Palm, Sun Fist, Wind Chasing Leg, Ten Thousand Dragon Claws, Wind and Cloud Finger.

Half of the Ten Extremes Martial Arts descended like a vast sky-covering attack.

The majestic Qi-blood and True Qi surged like roaring waves, sweeping over everything.

The young man’s composed expression finally changed drastically.

The invisible barrier around him twisted continuously, the transparent shield manifested amidst endless martial arts phenomena.

“Innate Great Perfection Martial Artist! Damn it! How could there be one here…”

Innate Great Perfection Martial Artist, a rarity that appears once in five hundred years in the mundane world.

Each one is almost of a Martial Arts Myth level, and only those martial artists serving cultivators can break through with the pills provided by cultivators.

Wild Innate Great Perfection Martial Artists are extremely rare.

Because an Innate Great Perfection Martial Artist is already filled with True Qi, with fully open meridians, if such a martial artist naturally cultivates and has a Spirit Root, they can swiftly progress through the initial Qi Cultivation levels. By integrating martial arts and magic, they can become nearly unbeatable in the Qi Cultivation stages after a few years of training.

Li Jin at this moment had completely lost the refined and gentle demeanor.

He resembled both a ferocious tiger ready to prey and a murderous demon.

“Come on! Aren’t you an Immortal?”

The young man at this moment had a thousand cursing words in his heart.

You’re so confident now, but you just sent out Death Warriors and set traps to exhaust me before making a move. Don’t you find this contradictory?!

Yet, at this moment, the young man was already suppressed and unable to speak.

The True Essence belonging to the Qi Refining Realm cultivator within him surged out rapidly, turning into fuel for the shield.

There was less than thirty percent of True Essence left in his Dantian, and even with supplementing pills, the recovery speed couldn’t keep up with the consumption.

“You forced me! Sword, come!”

The young man disregarded the loss of Primordial Qi and forcibly extracted new True Essence, and with a slap to his waist pouch, a Three-foot Cyan Blade appeared.

Spiritual Light flickered on the longsword, and then it floated in mid-air.

No matter how strong an Innate Great Perfection Martial Artist is, they are still part of the mundane. Perhaps capable of beating some Qi Refining cultivators to death up close, but unable to withstand a sharp mid-level Magical Artifact!

“Slash!”

Sword light flickered, cyan light dazzling.

The surrounding Innate Martial Artists all held their breaths.

As the strongest force of the Rainbow Kingdom, they all knew who the enemy was at the moment, and if Lord Li had the disadvantage, these Innate Martial Artists would support him with a suicidal determination.

Being able to fight against an Immortal, they would die with honor.

The other soldiers all gaped in astonishment, and if not for strict military law, many might have already knelt and hailed ’Immortal’.

The sword light pierced through the cold air, shattering everything before it.

A sneer appeared on the young man’s face.

In the next moment, a silhouette like a phantom appeared behind the flying sword.

White and unfit for a martial artist’s hands gripped the sword’s hilt.

The young man’s expression turned rigid.

“Sword? Today, I’ll show you what a real sword is!”

Li Jin’s muscles suddenly swelled, forcibly gripping the flying sword. His overwhelming True Qi and Qi-blood surged onto the blade, interfering with the opponent’s control over the flying sword.

And the aura on Li Jin also transformed suddenly, a Sword Dao Grandmaster aura emerged, Sword Intent rose mightily to the heavens.

“Heaven-Cutting Sword!”

Li Jin let out a low growl, as if the sword in his hand weighed a thousand pounds.

Simultaneously, the Qi-blood on Li Jin surged to the extreme, and having fused numerous Hard Skill Body Refining Techniques to form top martial arts, Red Gold True Body exerted its full force.

His thin body instantly became broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, with a faint red glow appearing, like a scorching sun, rapidly melting the snow on the ground.

“Impossible!”

The young man, holding a Sword Technique hand gesture, showed astonishment and even a tinge of fear.

He could feel the longsword; the other side had no means to completely break his control over the sword, yet they were forcefully wielding it.

“Slash!”

Sword light flickered, breaking the invisible shield.

The young man’s pupils contracted to needle-points, only that sword light remained in his eyes.

In his mind, scenes from his life suddenly replayed.

Born in the mundane world, met an Immortal thirty years ago by chance, and was taken into the sect for training.

But he lacked talent, and after thirty years, he was just a Mid-Stage Qi Cultivator.

Ultimately, he chose to return to the mundane world, establishing a family, and sending potential cultivation seedlings from the mundane world to the sect.

But… why did it end up like this…

He suddenly saw a half-familiar, half-strange body appear in his eyes.

“My life is over!”

Silence, all sounds vanished, leaving only the far-off chaotic shouts of battle, the distant army of the Qingmo Khanate.

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the ruined open ground in front of the hall of deliberation, on the blood line that appeared on the young man’s body.

“Pfft.”

Blood gushed out like a spring, and the young man split in two, falling to the ground.

The longsword in Li Jin’s hand returned to being dull, obediently under his control.

Li Jin quietly observed the Immortal that had turned into two halves.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

In his past life, he was unexpectedly cleaved into two by this sword, today, he avenges it!

Li Jin’s heart held no more excitement.

In his mind, he had simulated today’s scene many times already.

The now-extinct Chang Kingdom and Lii Kingdom were where Li Jin obtained the other’s intelligence, including spells like invisibility, Enchanting Soul, all acquired from these two nations.

Furthermore, abilities like wind manipulation.

An Innate Martial Artist has no ability to fly if in the wilderness Li Jin would be kited to death.

And now, luring the enemy deep, limiting stealth, consuming with lives, even sacrificing a precious Innate Martial Artist, then using siege crossbows and cannons to exhaust the True Essence.

Li Jin had started planning thirty years ago, and he didn’t know how else he could fail.

Even having chosen the riskiest method, entering the fray himself, taking some risk.

But only by personally resolving past grudges could one be true to themselves.

Li Jin did not immediately go to inspect the spoils.

Instead, he shouted, “Spear, come!”

A Profound Iron Heavy Spear was brought by his subordinates, followed by a Snow Stepping Treasure Horse, already among the ranks of Exotic Beasts, brought in.

Li Jin held the long spear in his hand.

“Open the gate!”

The gates opened, revealing the slightly bewildered enemy troops outside.

“All soldiers, heed my command!”

“Yes!”

“Fight with me!”

“Yes!”

The Immortal Slayer, their morale soared to the extreme.

The cannons were also lifted onto the city walls.

This epoch-making weapon of war finally appeared openly before the world.

The cannons roared, like rolling thunder from the heavens.

A black horse, with an awe-inspiring imposing figure, charged like a blade into the enemy’s central army.

In the mountains, two ambushed armies, long hidden, surged forth, coordinating with the garrison at Yuzhong Pass, moving together.

With the interference of those beyond the mundane resolved, Li Jin could strike without hesitation.

No more restraints.

[You set a Heaven and Earth Net ambush, ultimately personally slaying the existence suspected to be an Immortal.]

[Morale is high, you lead the army to initiate battle, leading the troops to destroy the enemy a thousand miles, cutting down the enemy general beneath your horse.]

[In the 763rd year of the Rainbow Calendar, a great victory was achieved at Yuzhong Pass, henceforth, the dynamics of attack and defense have shifted!]
