Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

"A puppet at the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm!"

At the same time, Qin Yuehan’s expression became solemn. He stared at the sword immortal puppet beside Li Yun, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, as if he were looking at a peerless treasure.

"Hahaha!"

He suddenly burst into laughter. "Li Yun, I did not expect you to have such a trick hidden up your sleeve. It seems I misjudged you earlier. Junior Brother Li, since you have such a powerful puppet, why do you not travel with us for the rest of the journey? That way, we can protect each other. What do you think?"

"Protect each other?"

Li Yun remained completely unmoved and sneered. "I think you only want me to lower my guard so you can find an opportunity to kill me and seize the sword immortal puppet for yourself."

"Hm?"

Qin Yuehan’s face immediately darkened. He said coldly, "Li Yun, what do you mean by this? Are you really not going to give even your senior brother any face?"

"Face is earned by oneself, not given by others," Li Yun said calmly.

His gaze remained cold as he continued, "I am sorry, Qin Yuehan, but I really do not plan on giving you this face."

"Good. Very good."

Qin Yuehan’s face turned grim as a powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body. He looked as if he was about to strike, but even then, Li Yun’s expression remained indifferent, seemingly completely unaffected by him.

"Well played, Li Yun. I will remember you."

In the end, Qin Yuehan snorted coldly and restrained his aura.

It was not that he did not want to attack Li Yun. Rather, he truly was not confident that he could defeat Li Yun’s sword immortal puppet.

If he could not defeat the sword immortal puppet, losing face would be the least of his problems. Wasting his essence qi and risking an accident during the upcoming exploration would not be worth the cost.

"The mountains will not change, and the rivers will keep flowing. We will see about this."

He gave a cold smile, turned around, and vanished from Li Yun’s sight in an instant.

Behind him, the tall and thin youth glared fiercely at Li Yun before quickly following. The other two 8th level Heavenly Core Realm experts hesitated for a moment before also leaving.

"Junior Brother Li, you have really offended Senior Brother Qin Yuehan this time."

Seeing this, Peng Yan could not help sighing. "Senior Brother Qin Yuehan is not a broad-minded person. Now that you have offended him, your days ahead might not be easy."

"It is fine."

Li Yun’s expression was calm.

He knew that while Qin Yuehan was dissatisfied with him, because of the sword immortal puppet, Qin Yuehan still had some reservations and would not strike easily.

Moreover, if Qin Yuehan truly dared to attack him, Li Yun was ready to kill him right there.

He had not directly shown his true strength and had instead used the sword immortal puppet because he was wary of the other cultivators around them. He could sense cultivators from the other four great sects nearby, so he intended to remain low-key for now and avoid attracting too much attention.

"Sigh. Junior Brother Li, just be careful."

Peng Yan patted Li Yun’s shoulder and said with a bitter smile, "I do not know how many of us will actually make it out of the Annihilation Battlefield alive. Regardless, everyone should take care."

With that, he gave another bitter smile and turned to leave.

The remaining cultivators also bid farewell to Li Yun. Some formed small groups of two or three, while others departed alone.

It was not that they did not want to move with Li Yun, but his complete falling out with Qin Yuehan forced them to abandon the idea.

Otherwise, when the city gate caught fire, the fish in the moat would suffer. That would be terrible for them. After all, they neither had the strength of the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm nor a puppet with combat power at the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm.

Li Yun did not mind this at all.

Along the way, he had long grown used to acting alone. Adventuring by himself was not necessarily a bad thing.

Whoosh!

His figure moved rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, three hours passed.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Suddenly, a gust of wild wind rose.

The wind was pitch black and filled with an evil and eerie aura. Upon closer inspection, it was not wind at all. It was composed of a dense swarm of black insects.

Those black insects all had four wings. Their black wings vibrated rapidly, whipping up the wild wind, while their eerie green compound eyes emitted an incredibly strange light.

These black insects were none other than the Four-Winged Soul-Devouring Insects.

The Four-Winged Soul-Devouring Insect was a top-tier Rank Seven demonic beast.

These demonic beasts usually moved in swarms and loved to devour the heads of cultivators. Often, once they swarmed over a cultivator, that person’s head would be completely gnawed clean.

Facing this type of demonic beast, even being touched by one could become a lifelong nightmare.

The toxins they secreted could enter a cultivator’s body and erode their essence qi. Against these demonic beasts, cultivators below the Heavenly Core Realm were almost certainly doomed to die, and even Heavenly Core Realm cultivators faced an extremely high mortality rate.

"Grand Profound Five Elements Sword!"

Facing this swarm of Four-Winged Soul-Devouring Insects, Li Yun did not dare to be careless in the slightest. He immediately swung his sword, and five-colored light swirled as the power of the Five Elements surged forth mightily, swiftly shredding one insect after another.

Crackle! Crackle!

The corpses of the Four-Winged Soul-Devouring Insects fell to the ground and immediately corroded small pits into it.

It took a full quarter of an hour before Li Yun managed to kill all of these Four-Winged Soul-Devouring Insects.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Before he could even catch his breath, a green gale suddenly swept toward him.

This time, it was a real gale, not another tide of demonic beasts.
