Chapter 167
“How can this individual withstand Senior Mo Lin’s attacks only at the Nascent Soul stage?”
“His magical items and techniques are impressive, but he won’t be able to endure much longer.” “Hold on!”
Those Nascent Soul members from the sea clan were on the verge of collapse.
They never expected that, after clashing with the Black Dragon and Li Su for a while, they couldn’t do anything to harm Li Su. While it might seem like Li Su was at a disadvantage, the Black Dragon continued to attack others to protect him. This indicated that Li Su’s attacks posed a certain threat to the Black Dragon. If not, given the incredible defense of the Black Dragon, it could simply ignore Li Su. The Black Dragon could not handle Li Su, and their numerical disadvantage made the battle incredibly challenging.
“Activate the powerful formation and compel their Nascent Soul cultivators to block the water!” a Nascent Soul member from the sea clan said firmly.
“Not yet. If they don’t engage us, we’ll be even more passive,” cautioned another Nascent Soul member.
Even though the powerful formation had been breached, water still rushed out rapidly. However, draining the water completely would take a significant amount of time. They still had the home-field advantage. Opening the formation prematurely would make the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Northern Region ruthless, willing to sacrifice countless lives without hesitation, making their situation even more precarious. These Nascent Soul members from the sea clan had to endure the situation.
However, at this moment, Nascent Soul members from the Bixia sect also joined the battle. The cultivator Jin didn’t act immediately because his lifespan was already dwindling. Seeing that Li Su could endure a Nascent Divinity stage Black Dragon, he decided to wait for the right moment. He intended to accumulate strength and, before his lifespan expired, attempt to break through to the Nascent Divinity stage. If unsuccessful, he was prepared to die in the attempt. Of course, if Li Su couldn’t hold on any longer, he wouldn’t hesitate to use his power.
The battle between Li Su and the Black Dragon continued. The Black Dragon’s Nascent Divinity differed from that of human cultivators. It focused on physical defense rather than the soul. Even a high-grade magical item like the Flying Immortal Sword could only leave some marks on its scales.
When Li Su heard White Spirit mention the Northern Sea Clan, he hadn’t heard of a Black Dragon like this one. The Black Dragon kept attacking, while Li Su concentrated mainly on defense. His Flying Immortal Sword appeared to be in an offensive stance, but it was also a part of his defensive strategy. He used offense as a defense, aiming to stand his ground rather than necessarily defeating the opponent.
The Black Dragon was a stubborn adversary, but Li Su wanted to clarify that he posed a certain threat to prevent the Black Dragon from ignoring him due to its formidable defense and attacking other Nascent Soul cultivators.
The battle raged on, with the Black Dragon growing increasingly furious that a single Nascent Soul cultivator like Li Su had managed to hold his ground for so long. Simultaneously, the more than ten Nascent Soul members from the sea clan united to focus all their efforts on defense. With the cultivator Jin still not intervening and Liu Xinshui and Liu Xinyue guarding from the outside, these individuals managed to maintain their defensive line.
So, the battle continued for an entire day, with the water in the area still abundant and the waves rising to great heights due to the battle’s intensity.
“Why hasn’t he been defeated yet?” The sea clan members were puzzled. After a whole day of battle, Li Su’s spiritual energy should have been exhausted, especially since he was fighting a Nascent Divinity-level being. The energy expenditure in such a battle was significantly higher than in a battle with someone of the same level.
The sea clan members couldn’t have known Li Su possessed a top-tier Nascent Soul. The Black Dragon couldn’t believe that a Nascent Soul stage human had fought it for so long. It couldn’t accept that this Nascent Soul stage human had infinite spiritual energy.
In a way, this battle showcased Li Su’s incredible endurance, extending far beyond typical invincibility. The Nascent Soul cultivators from the Northern Region, who had only heard tales of powerful Nascent Soul cultivators holding their own against Nascent Divinity opponents, were finally witnessing it firsthand. They had now truly realized Li Su’s remarkable power.
“This young man becomes more mysterious with each passing moment,” the sect leader’s aunt remarked, observing Li Su with motherly scrutiny. She had been watching him for a while and was growing increasingly satisfied with what she saw, although she found it harder to understand him. She couldn’t help but notice that the sect leader, even amidst the battle, had his attention fixed on Li Su.
“Let’s defeat them first!” At last, the cultivator Jin decided to take action, concerned that Li Su might not hold out much longer. When he acted, the more than ten Nascent Soul members from the sea clan couldn’t hold their ground any longer.
“Activate the formation!” one of the sea clan Nascent Soul members shouted. They had no other choice at this point. Another sea clan Nascent Soul member produced an object and infused it with energy to activate it.
