I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 205 - 201: Challenging Core Formation, Undefeated in 100 Moves

Du Youqian sized up Master Taihe, whose indignation was plain to see.

Although Master Taihe was nearly three hundred years old, he had the appearance of a charming middle-aged man.

His long, lustrous black hair cascaded down, partially obscuring his sharply chiseled features.

Beneath his loose robes was a well-built physique.

Unfortunately, he had forgotten to wear pants. His long, hairy legs were mostly exposed, making him look rather ridiculous.

"Junior, you’re courting death!" Master Taihe was beyond furious.

It had been years since anyone had dared to bully him like this!

And the one bullying him wasn’t even a Core Formation Master, just a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

The fact that he wasn’t trembling with rage was a testament to his impressive Qi Cultivation Techniques.

Du Youqian sneered. "Master Taihe, you’ve finally shown yourself. Cut the crap. Hand over my man, or I’ll flatten this shabby cave residence of yours!"

Master Taihe had originally planned to feign ignorance and staunchly deny kidnapping Wu Siyuan.

But now, thoroughly enraged by Du Youqian, he had long since tossed his original plan aside. A grim, cruel smile spread across his face. "Hand him over? Don’t you worry, I’ll return his head and limbs to you separately! Junior, your life has probably been too smooth these past few years. You’ve forgotten the humility and respect you should show before a Core Formation Master. I will teach you a lesson, lest your arrogance leads you to offend someone you can’t afford to in the future!"

Du Youqian’s expression remained impassive. He communicated with Gu Xiaofang and the others behind him using his Divine Sense, telling them to stop recording, put away the Memory Stones, and leave.

Naturally, Gu Xiaofang and the others expressed their concern. Fang Hua, in particular, vehemently insisted on facing Master Taihe alongside Du Youqian.

Du Youqian rebuked them, "All of you, go! Leave now! I am a True Inheritor. Even if I fight Master Taihe, I have the moral high ground. What are your statuses? How dare you make a move against a Master? To put it bluntly, as long as Master Taihe isn’t an idiot, he would never dare to kill me. But you? He could kill you as he pleases."

Left with no choice, the group had to retreat.

Only Fang Hua remained resolute. Although she withdrew, she didn’t go far, positioning herself where she could support Du Youqian at a moment’s notice.

After a brief standoff with Du Youqian, Master Taihe grew impatient. "Junior, are you still not leaving? Do you want to take a walk in the Life and Death Arena?"

"The Life and Death Arena? No need. I’ll take care of you right here." Before Du Youqian’s voice had even faded, the Jinhuan sword flew out. It circled around swiftly, suffused with a chilling Sword Intent, and slashed down at Master Taihe from behind.

Master Taihe had never expected Du Youqian to actually dare to attack first, and right outside his own cave residence at that.

His mind was consumed by a single thought: ’How does he dare? How could he possibly dare?’

CLANG! A square-shaped seal flew out from Master Taihe’s Dantian. It grew in the wind, rapidly expanding to the size of a millstone and colliding with the Jinhuan sword.

Jinhuan let out a crisp sound like a sorrowful cry and was sent flying back.

Du Youqian had been refining Jinhuan for decades; their minds were already connected as one.

This Flying Sword, which he had already upgraded to the Top Grade Spiritual Artifact Level, had suffered a minor injury from just a single contact. Faint cracks had even appeared in the sword’s body.

There was nothing to be done about it.

Du Youqian was now almost certain that the seal was Master Taihe’s Lifebound Treasure, the Taihe Seal.

It was said that although it was only a Lower Grade Treasure—and a poor one at that, made from inferior materials with a very low potential—

it was, after all, a Treasure.

Moreover, having been nurtured by Master Taihe as his Lifebound Treasure for a century, its power was a cut above that of an ordinary Lower Grade Treasure.

Compared to a Top Grade Spiritual Artifact, it seemed only one level stronger, but in reality, there was a fundamental difference between them.

Du Youqian’s expression turned grave. He once again drove the Jinhuan sword forward, slicing towards Master Taihe.

A chop is forceful and heavy, while a slice is light and nimble, allowing one to change moves at any time.

As expected, Master Taihe controlled the Taihe Seal to intercept it. The Taihe Seal looked as large and clumsy as a millstone, but it was actually extremely agile in flight, arriving as soon as the thought was formed.

In an instant, it flew into Jinhuan’s path.

Du Youqian had no choice but to change his move mid-air. He had no desire for his Flying Sword to clash head-on with the Taihe Seal again; he would surely be the one to lose out.

’Just a few more collisions, and my Top Grade Spiritual Artifact-level Flying Sword might be severely damaged and drop in Realm.’

Du Youqian was here to pick a fight, not to suffer a loss. Of course, he wouldn’t act recklessly on a whim but would stick to his established tactics and rhythm.

After exchanging more than ten moves, Master Taihe’s anger became harder to suppress. "Junior, I’ve only been defending, not attacking, letting you have more than ten moves. Yet you still don’t know when to back down. I’m giving you an inch and you’re taking a mile, aren’t you?"

With that, the Taihe Seal stopped tangling with Jinhuan and instead hurtled straight toward Du Youqian.

The millstone-sized Taihe Seal continued to expand as it flew.

By the time it reached Du Youqian, it had grown to be several yards wide, the size of a two-story building.

The flying Taihe Seal made no sound, as if it were absorbing all noise around it.

Before it even arrived, the sheer pressure of the wind sent Du Youqian’s sleeves fluttering and his black hair whipping wildly.

The immense oppressive force felt like it could smash a mountain to pieces.

’If that hit a person, even a Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator would probably be crushed into paste, right?’

A slight smile touched Du Youqian’s lips. The Jinhuan sword circled around and slashed out swiftly.

However, it didn’t strike at the Taihe Seal, but at the empty space in front of it.

The sword light flashed. Strangely enough, although the Taihe Seal hadn’t been struck, it seemed to hesitate, pausing for a split second.

When the Taihe Seal moved again, it had lost its earlier overwhelming momentum, and Du Youqian calmly dodged aside.

Master Taihe’s brow furrowed slightly.

It wasn’t that he found Du Youqian to be a troublesome opponent.

He could defeat a mere Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator without even moving.

However, the move Du Youqian had just used to neutralize his attack was indeed impressive.

That sword strike seemed to cut through empty air, but it had actually severed the connection of aura.

It caused the Taihe Seal to lose its target for a moment, making it stall.

Using such a sharp Sword Intent to sever a wisp of aura seemed like a waste.

But the truth was, if that strike had hit the Taihe Seal directly, it would have been completely harmless.

And if it had come to strike him, he had a hundred ways to block it without a scratch... alright, a hundred ways was an exaggeration, but he had at least seven or eight.

If Du Youqian had focused his Spirit on attacking him with the sword, he would have been unable to dodge the crushing force of the Taihe Seal and would have definitely suffered a major blow.

Therefore, Du Youqian’s last strike wasn’t particularly powerful, but it was the most opportune one.

It fully demonstrated Du Youqian’s talent for Magical Combat.

Watching from a distance, Fang Hua’s eyes sparkled with admiration.

She now considered her Swordsmanship to be no weaker than Du Youqian’s; in their usual spars, she could hold her own in a fifty-fifty match.

But sparring was different from a true Sword Fighting duel.

Sparring was about who had superior Swordsmanship. Sword Fighting was about who could kill the other with a sword.

’The strongest sword strike?’

’There’s no such thing.’

’A strike with the right amount of force, from the right angle, at the right time—that is the sword that can slay enemies and protect one’s Dao.’

’In that regard, she still had much to learn!’

Meanwhile, the fight between Master Taihe and Du Youqian continued.

Master Taihe was gradually revealing his true abilities, and Du Youqian was using every trick up his sleeve.

He used multiple Secret Techniques, activated the first transition of the Red Blood Seven Transitions Technique, used two Tier Three Talismans, activated the Talisman Treasure gifted by Chun Xiao Master once more, and even used the Hundred Ghosts Banner for a surprise attack that left Master Taihe flustered for a moment.

Of course, overall, Master Taihe was completely unscathed.

Although Du Youqian was also unharmed for the time being, he was having one close call after another, and it was now visibly apparent that he was a spent force.

The observing Fang Hua watched with her heart in her throat. She pushed her Divine Sense to its limit, focusing on every detail of the battle, ready to find an opportunity to release her Flying Sword and join the fray.

Even though the likely result of her joining would be Master Taihe using her as an outlet for his anger, leaving her severely injured or even dead, she could buy Du Youqian a little time to escape.

The reason she hadn’t made a move yet was that she had personally witnessed the subtle preparations Du Youqian had made before Master Taihe emerged.

She believed that Du Youqian was not one to act without purpose. Since he had made preparations, they were bound to pay off at some point.

She was waiting for Du Youqian’s hidden plan to come to fruition.

Moreover, the crowd of onlookers was growing larger. Of course, fearing they’d be caught in the crossfire, the gawkers all stood at a safe distance.

However, the Magical Power fluctuations from a Core Formation Master’s battle were so obvious that other Core Formation Masters in the Sect would surely notice soon. Someone would probably intervene to stop the fight before long.

"Junior, you can be proud of yourself for lasting a hundred moves against me. For Chun Xiao Master’s sake, if you give me a proper apology, I might just let you off the hook!" Master Taihe said mockingly, calmly controlling the Taihe Seal.

Seeing his offensive slow, Du Youqian sent a message with his Divine Sense: "Old fiend, if you apologize now and return Wu Siyuan to me, I’ll spare you this once. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

"HAHAHAHA!" Master Taihe threw his head back and laughed. "Junior, if you have the guts, then you..."

Before he could finish, a massive explosive shockwave erupted from behind him.

Master Taihe’s Taihe Seal reacted instinctively. The versatile Treasure, skilled in both offense and defense, immediately moved behind him to block the blast wave.

Master Taihe looked back at his cave residence, now a pile of ruins with smoke and dust billowing upwards, and suddenly felt like crying.

He felt so wronged.

’You junior, you’ve gone too far!’

’When I was fighting you, I was so careful! I didn’t dare to use a killing blow, only wanting to teach you a light lesson.’

’And you!’

’So disrespectful!’

’In the end, you even collapsed my cave residence! I don’t know how many of my beloved concubines have died.’

’But... for this junior to use the power of my own protective Grand Array to collapse my cave residence... could he already be a Tier Three Array Master?’

’There’s no other explanation!’

"Junior, I want you dead!" Master Taihe’s voice sounded as if he were weeping blood.
