Chapter 409: Divine Weapon Thunder Light Sword VS Golden Tiger Crystal Beast (First update, seeking recommendations)

The Golden Tiger Crystal Beast is not an ordinary demon beast; cultivators below the Heart Movement Stage are simply not its match.

Moreover, the most important point is that cultivation has long since declined, making it difficult for demons to reach a higher state. Finding demons is inherently difficult, let alone advanced demon beasts like the Golden Tiger Crystal Beast. Its fur is especially suitable for making horsetail whisks or long whips, which might not have been unusual a few hundred years ago, but in today’s resource-scarce world, it’s something you can’t even dream of getting.

The Yun Sect Leader’s pieces were all left by predecessors from hundreds of years ago, stored within the sect, and only rewarded to those who perform exceptionally well on missions.

This middle-aged man was one of those exceptional individuals, which is why he cherished it dearly.

Seeing the Divine Weapon Thunder Light Sword in Jiang Nuo’s hand now made him even more envious. Even in his own sect, there might not be even one divine weapon, yet this kid with no sect or affiliation has one?!

He was utterly shocked.

If not to seize it now, then when?

If it were to spread through the cultivation world, would there still be a share for him?

Looking at Jiang Nuo’s cultivation level, he’s at most in the Foundation Establishment Stage, while he’s already in the late Enlightenment Stage, so he’s not afraid at all.

Thus, the middle-aged man attacked Jiang Nuo boldly and with confidence.

Jiang Nuo wasn’t foolish either. With the "Level Detection Light" that Mu Qiuniang added to his Divine Weapon Thunder Light Sword, he quickly recognized that this man was only at the Enlightenment Stage. Although his cultivation was above Jiang Nuo’s, from his experience fighting Zhan Jingshu, he thought he still had a chance to win.

He also wanted to accumulate combat experience, so he didn’t immediately use the various defensive tools Mu Qiuniang had prepared for him. Instead, he activated the defensive mode of his Space Ring and charged forward with the Divine Weapon Thunder Light Sword.

Sure enough, although the man’s cultivation was higher, his battle experience was about the same, probably because few of his previous opponents systematically studied martial arts (the current state of the cultivation world is focused on cultivation rather than martial arts). His experience was just so-so.

The middle-aged man was like a strongman with great strength, but unfortunately, he used few excessive moves, so when facing a young man whose strength didn’t match his but who was more agile, he suffered.

For example, Jiang Nuo.

Jiang Nuo had been thrown into the army by Mu Qiuniang to learn well.

The moves from the army aren’t those misleading trifles used outside; they’re all real fists.

If it had been the Jiang Nuo who just came out of the army, having been there for less than a month, he had learned a lot but hadn’t consolidated it. Then perhaps Jiang Nuo might not have been the middle-aged man’s match, but after coming out, he kept training what he learned in the army repetitively and constantly sparred with Zhan Jingshu, Murong, and Mu Mingyu to enrich his experience.

In addition, he had guidance from Mu Qiuniang, which had been remarkably effective from one private lesson after another.

For example, now, when he fought with the middle-aged man, he had the strength to battle. Initially, he might have been at a disadvantage due to not fully understanding the man’s capabilities, but all of the opponent’s attacks were blocked by the Space Ring, and he didn’t suffer any injury, having gained quite a bit of experience instead.

Gradually, he began a counterattack with bruised legs and swollen hands.

He didn’t fight with talisman papers nor with various kinds of defensive tools; he wielded the Divine Weapon Thunder Light Sword and cast the spells he had learned, one by one, against the middle-aged man. Additionally, to prevent the man from escaping, he threw out a Barrier Stone.

The middle-aged man was also quite unlucky. At first, he thought the kid in front of him was like a child carrying a treasure mountain—easy to bully and get the treasure from, and he could take the kid’s head back to the sect for a reward.

But who could tell him?

This kid, who clearly looked like a novice in the beginning, seemed easy to squash, but as the fight went on, he just became more and more of a headache?

He even felt—this kid was using him for practice.

When he truly realized this, despite his higher cultivation than the kid, it was still tough to take him down. When he was prepared to use more talisman papers, elixirs, and similar items for a quick resolution, he suddenly discovered—damn it! This kid had even more defensive tools than he did?!

He took out a Fire Talisman, and the kid had a Fire Protection Talisman; he took out a Thunder Talisman, and the kid had an Anti-lightning Talisman; he scattered poison powder, and it seemed the kid also had Detoxification Pills—one pill resolved it with no effect.

The middle-aged man almost spat blood: "What kind of monster are you?"

Wasn’t this kid’s information saying he was an orphan?

While clues suggested the kid might also be a cultivator, with no sect and no party, at most he was a loose cultivator.

Loose cultivators could indeed be formidable, but which of those formidable ones didn’t have recognition? Anyone with fame has people who wouldn’t dare provoke them.

But Jiang Nuo, with no fame or recognition, was still a novice even as a cultivator. That’s why the middle-aged man had no reservations and was led by Jiang Nuo into such a battle.

"Where did you come from? You found your own way to me!" Jiang Nuo laughed. Although this battle was tough, he indeed learned a lot. Truly, he ought to thank this person.

He smiled and said to him, "Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. As long as you admit defeat and promise never to bother me again!"

The middle-aged man couldn’t believe his ears: "As long as I admit defeat, you’ll let me go?!" Is this meant to trick a three-year-old?!

Everyone knows that in the cultivation world, unless it’s prearranged, most of the fights are a matter of life and death.

"Of course! However, you’ll need to train with me a bit more." With that, Jiang Nuo eagerly attacked again.

The middle-aged man felt bitter; he sensed that this little monster had emptied all his tricks, but he couldn’t even harm the little monster. He also didn’t know what kind of items protected the little monster so well that all his attacks were ignored.

"Do you have some treasure on you? My attacks have no effect on you, and if this keeps up, it won’t benefit you. If you truly wish to practice, shouldn’t you put that thing away?"

Jiang Nuo thought about it and realized it seemed to make sense.

He needed practice, but with the defensive mode always on, even if attacked, he wouldn’t get hurt, really lacking realism.

So, he disabled the defensive mode of the Space Ring.

The middle-aged man was elated to see Jiang Nuo did as he suggested. Indeed, young people are easy to fool!

However, he kept a straight face, pretended to be Jiang Nuo’s sparring partner, and even offered several pointers in an earnest manner.

Jiang Nuo was already not very guarded; after receiving a few pointers, he really felt the taste of friendship, and his initial wariness dissipated. But right at that moment, the middle-aged man suddenly flicked his horsetail whisk and an "Assassination Technique" hit Jiang Nuo in the chest.

"Puff—"

Jiang Nuo spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling as if his innards were twisted, spiritual energy solidified. Even the Divine Weapon Thunder Light Sword in his hand slipped to the ground, and he could only slump there like leaning on a walking stick.

His face was full of shock: "What are you doing?!"
