Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 538 - 536: Ten Moves to Slash the Nascent Soul

"Dong dong dong~~~"

Outside the city in the woods, banners fluttered across the mountains and fields; an army of righteous rebels numbering at least in the tens of thousands had assembled completely, and their leader was a Duke surnamed Li, wielding a steel sword in his hand.

Shen Luoyan didn’t make the impulsive decision to assassinate the Emperor and overturn the state; she had already chosen the next Emperor many years ago, and it was this very person.

"Clang~~~"

Duke Li raised his hand and drew the sword from his waist, pointed the tip at the city, and declared in a deep voice: "The Emperor is unkind, treating the common people as nothing; today we will slay this dog of an Emperor and be masters of our own homes!"

"Kill!"

The rebel army drew their swords one after another, charging toward the city.

Most of the rebel army were young and strong common folk, but there were also a mix of well-trained fierce soldiers; overall their combat power might not be inferior to the regular army of the Chen Royal Family.

Inside the city, over a dozen city gates opened wide, and innumerable mounted Imperial Guards charged out.

A general wearing a helmet with cloud-piercing wings roared while brandishing his battle saber: "A bunch of bandits dare to invade the Imperial City, simply courting death! Warriors of the Chi Ying Army, attack, exterminate them completely!"

The sound of iron hooves was heavy, continuously shaking the earth; the number of mounted knights that burst forth from the city was enormous, at least twenty to thirty thousand strong, forming an iron tide that fiercely smashed into the lines of the rebel army, and both sides were entangled in a fight in a split second.

...

Ning Daoran looked down upon the battlefield from above and frowned. In this life, as a Cultivator, he had never been involved in the wars of the mortal world.

"Stop watching, take action, breach the city quickly!"

Shen Luoyan floated downward, clad in war armor with a deep blue cape billowing behind her, holding a blood-colored saber in her hand, cleaving the air fiercely!

"Swoosh~~~"

Trails of saber energy sliced the earth, instantly vaporizing thousands from the Chi Ying Army’s mounted troops in fierce Sword Energy.

Shen Luoyan was a Martial Artist in the late stages of the Mixed Element Realm, a true powerhouse capable of breaching ten thousand armors with a single slash!

"Shen Luoyan!"

A loud shout came from the sky, and a Great Cultivator in a green robe, emanating the aura of Nascent Soul Mid-Stage, descended from the sky. It was True Monarch Qing Lin, who directly threw two Low-grade Spiritual Treasures towards Shen Luoyan.

"You, as the Master of Slaying Immortal Tower, dare lead an attack on Sangyu Country’s Capital, truly courting death!"

"Enough with the nonsense, let’s fight for life and death!"

Shen Luoyan’s gaze turned frosty as she transformed into a streak of saber light, clashing against the treasures of True Monarch Qing Lin, and immediately afterwards, both their silhouettes shook the recently erected Fourth-Order City Protection Array.

Inside the city, another three Nascent Soul Tunneling Lights burst out, attacking Shen Luoyan alongside True Monarch Qing Lin, one of whom was Snow Soul True Monarch, Aunt of Lin Guo whom Ning Daoran recognized!

However, as a Great Cultivator in the Divinity Transformation Stage, even using only Late Nascent Soul techniques, Shen Luoyan was more than capable of handling them with ease!

"Break the Array!"

Lin Tiannan wielded the Golden Phoenix Sword and slashed fiercely, causing the Fourth-Order Array to buzz incessantly.

Ning Daoran wasn’t idle either; he raised his hand and summoned the Big Green Dragon. Amidst thunderous sounds, the Four Symbols Spear Technique repeatedly struck the Array, with the incessant roars of holy beasts. The strength on the Big Spear was profound, continuously depleting the Array Power of the Fourth-Order Array before him.

The other Slaying Immortal Tower Cultivators each took action.

The cannons on the Spirit Boats outside the city also aimed at the city wall, continuously firing strong beams of Spirit Light, wearing down the great Array!

Before long, the Fourth-Order Array was on the brink of collapse, showing many signs of cracking.

"Independent Practitioner Jianjia!"

Suddenly, a voice like thunder exploded, and a black-faced man charged out from within the Array; a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator wielding a fire-red magic sword, he roared:

"I am True Monarch Wufen, the sworn brother of No-Action True Monarch who was killed by you. Today, old man will avenge my senior brother, and I will tear you, little bastard, to pieces!"

Ning Daoran shivered, hovering in the air with the Big Green Dragon, and said: "Fellow Daoist, perhaps there is a misunderstanding; No-Action True Monarch was not killed by me, but by True Monarch Du’e. I was only assisting at the side."

The implication was clear; he definitely wouldn’t carry the blame for this.

"So it turns out to be nothing but a coward who dares not acknowledge his actions!"

True Monarch Wufen’s eyes were filled with scorn, and he laughed: "I wondered how capable Jianjia Independent Practitioner could be, to find out it’s an undeserved reputation."

With that, a fierce sword wrapped in flames came at him.

This man was a First-grade Fire Spirit Root genius, having ascended to Nascent Soul Early Stage for many years with a deep and solid foundation, now only a step away from the Nascent Soul Mid-stage!

Ning Daoran’s brows furrowed; the word "coward" from True Monarch Wufen had already been an invitation for death.

The Big Green Dragon let out a metallic cry, a shadow of grey swell soaring behind him – it was the Dragon Demon Martial Infant. In the next second, Ning Daoran fiercely thrust his spear, colliding with the fierce strike of True Monarch Wufen!

"Clang——"

A clash resonant like metal on stone, sparks flying, the air within dozens of steps seemed to have been instantaneously compressed to explosion, the booming sound sending shockwaves in all directions, such that the Chi Ying Army’s mounted troops on the ground were thrown off their horses.

These fierce and fearless mounted troops were already considered elite among mortals, but they were unfortunately collateral damage in the intense fight between Nascent Soul Great Cultivators!

"Wooh..."

With the burst of energy, True Monarch Wufen let out a muffled hum, his body jolted back dozens of steps by the force. He looked incredulously at his palm; the position where he held the sword was already cracked open by the shock, blood flowing profusely!

What terrifying physical strength this was, to have injured his flesh with a single strike?

"You..."

True Monarch Wufen’s gaze grew cold: "Primordial Martial Man?"

"It does seem to be the case."

Ning Daoran said with a faint smile, "What a pity, Fellow Daoist, you no longer have a chance. Since you have already left the city and challenged me, then there’s no leaving for you. Leave your life behind!"

With that, he shook his arms, and instantly, the Blood-drinking Sword, the Evil Dragon Fang, and the Thunder Sword, three great Spirit Treasures, flew out from his body, fiercely attacking True Monarch Wu Fen from all directions under the control of the Chaos Nascent Soul!

He also slapped his Storage Bag, and several Array Flags and Array Plates flew out, setting up a Ten Directions Forbidden Array in a small area!

The implication couldn’t be clearer; today Ning Daoran intended to kill and silence. True Monarch Wu Fen was not only going to die, but even his Nascent Soul wouldn’t be allowed to escape!

"You..."

In an instant, True Monarch Wu Fen felt a chill rising from the base of his spine all the way to the top of his skull. Was this person really as rumored, an undisputed Devil Head with an overpowering aura of Evil Qi?

"Fellow Daoist, take this!"

Ning Daoran raised the Big Green Dragon Spear and began to fight with wide and powerful swings.

Using the Fourth-tier Four Symbols Spear Technique with no reservations, every move was filled with lethal intent, giving no chance to his opponent.

Ten moves later.

"Pfft!"

Along with Ning Daoran thrusting the spear at an angle, he pierced through True Monarch Wu Fen’s abdomen, then with a shake of the spear shaft, shattered his body into pieces!

"Fellow Daoist, don’t..."

True Monarch Wu Fen was horrified, but it was already too late. His body instantly turned into a blood rain amidst the whirlpool of the Four Symbols Spear Technique, and just as his Nascent Soul had emerged, it was captured by Ning Daoran into his long sleeves. Then, inside the sleeve, True Monarch Wu Fen saw a lady in green, breathtakingly beautiful.

"You... Evil Spirit?"

The terror in the face of the Nascent Soul was beyond measure.

"I hate it the most when people call me ’Evil Spirit’..."

Little Qing pouted, then opened her huge mouth wide, instantly engulfing the Nascent Soul of True Monarch Wu Fen, which Ning Daoran had restrained, and swallowed it with a crunch as if she was munching on crispy pig’s ears.

"True Monarch Wu Fen has been killed... He’s been killed..."

From afar, a group of Sangyu Country’s Golden Core cultivators guarding the Imperial City stood stunned.

True Monarch Wu Fen, who had always appeared so majestic as a Great Cultivator before everyone, was just slaughtered within a mere ten moves after encountering Jianjia Old Demon!

Both were in the Nascent Soul Early Stage, and by normal means, there should have been at least fifty moves to determine a winner and over a hundred to determine life and death. However, they hadn’t anticipated such a terrifying disparity!

"Whoosh!"

Ning Daoran summoned his Mana and took possession of True Monarch Wu Fen’s Storage Ring. No rush with this; he’d go back and count it slowly, making sure not to leave empty-handed since this time he had fought under the identity of a Slaying Immortal Tower cultivator—it couldn’t be for nothing.

Looking up, he saw the City Protection Four-Order Formation had been destroyed.

Sangyu Country had deep roots, yet the forces besieging the Capital who were from Slaying Immortal Tower had even deeper ones!

Far away, Shen Luoyan’s Mana exploded around her, and suddenly a gigantic Blood Pond spanning hundreds of zhang arose around her body. Within the Blood Pond, the True Intent of the Dragon Demon coiled, roars of the dragon were unceasing, and three beams of Sword Energy burst forth, chopping True Monarch Snow Soul till he was covered in blood and forced to retreat with wounds.

True Monarch Qing Lin trapped inside the Blood Pond was pale.

Back in the day, he had faced fierce dangers alongside the Purple Flame Demon Lord and others in a border battle, managing to retreat unharmed under such circumstances. But today, True Monarch Qing Lin experienced an extreme terror and might not be able to escape this time.

"Die!"

Shen Luoyan raised her sword, striking down through the air!

Heaven and earth shook; lightning flickered.

Streaks of Divine Thought passed through the air, leaving behind terrifying afterimages.

Divine Thought Attack, a technique of the Divinity Transformation Stage!

Finally, Shen Luoyan no longer concealed her strength!

As the Sword Energy fell intertwined, True Monarch Qing Lin in the Blood Pond used all his treasures, raised both arms, his eyes full of fear but without surrendering, still attempting to counterattack.

Sadly, the disparity in Mana was too great. In the instant the Sword Energy dropped, True Monarch Qing Lin’s body was instantly split into countless pieces.

"Whoosh!"

A Nascent Soul flew out from amidst the pieces, heading southwest.

"If I don’t destroy your Nascent Soul today, I hope you’ll not oppose Slaying Immortal Tower in the future; otherwise, next time I will not show mercy!" Shen Luoyan said indifferently.

Immediately, the fleeing Nascent Soul stopped in its tracks, turned around, bowed with clenched fists towards Shen Luoyan and said, "Thank you, Tower Master Shen. Qing Lin recognizes his mistake and will not repeat it!"

Thus, many cultivators from Slaying Immortal Tower, as well as those from Sangyu Country guarding the Imperial City, were shocked.

The display of Shen Luoyan’s killing methods was terrifyingly unstoppable!

For those from Slaying Immortal Tower, it was a relief; their Tower Master was incredibly powerful.

It’s good to hide in the shade under a big tree, and without a doubt, Shen Luoyan was such a deeply-rooted big tree!

In fact, many Nascent Soul Great Cultivators within Slaying Immortal Tower wanted to please Shen Luoyan, but invariably they would flatter in vain as this Divinity Transformation Stage Tower Master was unpredictable and inscrutable.

It appeared... Could it be only Ning Daoran, who always earned Tower Master Shen’s admiration and favor?

"Swish~~~"

The eyes of everyone from Slaying Immortal Tower instantly turned towards Ning Daoran.

Ning Daoran felt goosebumps all over, staring back at everyone with a confused expression.
