Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 547 - 545: Turnaround Tactics

"No... please..."

Big Green Dragon streaked across the sky, transforming into a beam of azure ferocity spanning dozens of feet as it descended!

True Yama Monarch shouted, forcibly summoning a third-tier top-grade bone shield to protect himself, but it shattered with a loud bang under the attack of just one spear thrust. freёnovelkiss.com

The lingering power of the attack forced the Nascent Soul Great Cultivator to repeatedly step back.

True Yama Monarch’s eyes swiftly flickered, contemplating escape, only to discover that Ning Daoran had unexpectedly set up a third array, which was none other than the Ten Directions Forbidden Array!

"Swish!"

True Yama Monarch’s Nascent Soul attempted to instantly teleport, merely hopping on the spot in a somewhat comical and ridiculous manner.

The aura in the sky surged violently as Ning Daoran’s second spear descended!

"You..."

True Yama Monarch roared furiously and once again summoned a magical treasure to block, while simultaneously raising both arms, his body erupting with ghost energy, tendrils of ghostly forms clinging to his arms, attempting to withstand Big Green Dragon’s second spear!

"Boom!"

The magical treasure was sent flying, and the fierce spear struck fiercely onto his arms.

In a moment, successive "crack" sounds were heard. True Yama Monarch cried out in pain as both his arms were simultaneously crushed, and the remnant force of the spear harshly hit the top of his skull.

Blood splattered everywhere, True Yama Monarch never expected the legendary Independent Practitioner Jianjia to be so ferocious.

Despite both being in the early Nascent Soul Stage, the opponent’s physical strength was monstrously like a brute demon. That spear strike was like a vast mountain pressing down, an ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator’s body refinement couldn’t withstand it at all!

"Pfft!"

True Yama Monarch roared in anger, biting the tip of his tongue and spraying a stream of lifebound essence blood onto a string of ghost head prayer beads in front of him, roaring: "If you won’t let me live, I won’t let you have an easy time either!"

As he spoke, he chanted a spell, about to activate the prayer beads.

"Shut up!"

Ning Daoran spun swiftly, his third spear strike sweeping through the air!

"Buzz~~~"

In the mid-air, Big Green Dragon, stretched to a length of dozens of feet, was completely bent under pressure, and thunder roared around the spear shaft, this spear’s strength even more terrifying than the first two!

With a loud bang, the long spear slashed straight down!

The sky darkened, turning into a bloody hue, and True Yama Monarch’s figure turned black, then was split in half by the spear!

With an additional spear strike, even his Nascent Soul was crushed!

...

"Ancestor!"

Inside the Falling Star Array, numerous disciples of the Yama Sect perished, and at this moment, the few remaining stronger Golden Core Stage Sect members fought fiercely like cornered beasts. However, seeing True Yama Monarch killed by three spear strikes, their hearts sank in despair.

It’s over, all over!

The ancestor died too quickly!

Ning Daoran didn’t bother to pay attention and suddenly shifted, appearing in the battlefield together with Big Stupid Deer and Jing Long.

At this time, under the attack from the Falling Star Array, Big Stupid Deer actually managed to fight on par with Old Jing Long, neither side yielding. Although he got slapped on the forehead by Jing Long, he also struck Jing Long’s buttocks, which were still spraying blood.

"Independent Practitioner Jianjia!"

Jing Long roared in anger: "Why are you so cruel? The conflict between Qiyun Tower and the Beast Taming Sect has nothing to do with you, why did you have to forcibly intervene, just for the sake of Guild Leader Ji?"

"Oh?"

Ning Daoran raised an eyebrow: "Fellow Daoist Jing, didn’t you just say that Independent Practitioner Jianjia was nothing? I, Ning Daoran, am here in person to explain, to tell you face-to-face what I am, are you not pleased?"

"You..."

Jing Long gritted his teeth.

"Besides, have you truly not offended me?"

Ning Daoran smiled faintly, saying: "Could Fellow Daoist Jing have forgotten the dispute over the Seven-Colored Immortal Falcon?"

"You..."

Jing Long’s pupils contracted fiercely: "You actually... you’re actually Fire Element True Monarch?"

"Of course."

Ning Daoran smiled lightly: "I, Ning Daoran, traveled through Dongming City disguised as Fire Element True Monarch, originally not wanting to get involved in the disputes between the Beast Taming Sect and Qiyun Tower, but Fellow Daoist Jing, relying on having two Nascent Soul Stage Demon Beasts, didn’t take us wandering Independent Practitioners into consideration at all, even trying to snatch our opportunities..."

He rambled on: "You have no idea how painful it is for us Independent Practitioners to roam the Cultivation World, with no Sect tribute to collect each month, no chance to exploit the youth, living solely by our pair of hands. Under such circumstances, Fellow Daoist Jing, you still wish to rob us Independent Practitioners of our chance, do you think you don’t deserve death?"

"Enough of your nonsense!"

Jing Long roared: "Do you think you’ve already secured victory?"

"Of course!"

Ning Daoran suddenly lifted Big Green Dragon, and declared sternly: "Old Lu, let’s join forces to eliminate this foe, within ten moves!"

"Roar~~~"

Big Stupid Deer raised its forehooves, supremely majestic!

"Just by you two? Kill me within ten moves?!"

Jing Long scoffed.

Yet before the smile on his face faded, Ning Daoran suddenly intensified his expression, and from his forehead, a wave of invisible and colorless Divine Soul attack shot out, hitting the opponent’s head directly.

Soul Suppressing Technique!

With a single strike, Jing Long was petrified on the spot, unable to move!

"Roar!!"

Big Stupid Deer transformed into a locomotive, thundering forward, its splendid and elongated antlers piercing into Jing Long’s buttocks.

A second blossoming!

"Ah..."

Jing Long screamed miserably, getting fiercely launched into the air by Big Stupid Deer and instinctively reached out to cover his buttocks when a gleaming azure light burst forth from the sky!

"Ah?"

Jing Long opened his eyes wide in astonishment, only to see a lifelike Big Green Dragon.

"Roar~~~"

The Big Green Dragon opened its bloody maw wide, and just as it was about to devour everything, a rapidly swirling glow burst forth from its mouth, transforming the entire dragon into a long spear swirling furiously—it was Ning Daoran’s pinnacle manifestation of the Four Symbols Spear Technique!

Secret skill, Azure Dragon Twisting Strike·Strangle!

One strike descended, as if it could destroy everything in an instant!

Although the Four Symbols Spear Technique was passed down to Ning Daoran by Lin Guo, Lin Guo herself might not have been able to achieve this step; Transformation Realm was probably her limit, and as for Return to Nature, there likely wasn’t enough Life Span.

"You..."

Jing Long roared furiously, and despite summoning his magical treasures for defense, the might of the Azure Dragon Twisting Strike was so immense that the entire space began to distort, turning the area into a giant vortex, causing those few treasures in the air to wobble helplessly, unable to withstand the force!

"Pfft~~"

With a soft sound, the tip of the Big Green Dragon’s spear directly pierced through Jing Long’s throat from above, instantly shredding his throat, then drilled into his chest cavity, shredding the heart, lungs, and so on.

"You wish!"

Jing Long shouted furiously, as streaks of rune light flashed over the bones in his chest, as if they had suddenly come to life.

’Hmm?’

Ning Daoran furrowed his brow, Marked Bone? There are such methods in the Cultivation World?

Indeed, any great cultivator who reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage would surely have some trump cards, and wouldn’t just sit back and wait to be killed after just a couple of moves.

The next second, flesh rapidly regenerated on the bones in Jing Long’s chest as he quickly retreated, igniting two Fourth-order Lower Grade Divine Speed Talismans in his hands and turned around to flee.

"Think it’s that easy?!"

When it came to speed, Ning Daoran was unmatched by anyone at this moment. With a thought, his body disappeared in a bolt of lightning.

"Swoosh!"

Suddenly, the sky lit up bright, an awe-inspiring saintly aura filled the air, and a white tiger soared across the heavens, plunging down and transforming into hundreds of chaotic spear radiances descending from the sky!

Another secret skill!

White Tiger Soul Descent·Break!

"You..."

Jing Long roared in rage, his eyes filled with unwillingness. How could this endless assaults continue?

Under the strike of the White Tiger Soul Descent, Jing Long’s body shattered explosively.

Even the Marked Bone was completely crushed by Ning Daoran; such tactics could only serve to buy one chance to escape or be reborn, but under such a vast disparity in combat power, they were of no help.

"Fellow Daoist Ning, please don’t..."

Only a shattered skull of Jing Long kept wailing.

Yet Ning Daoran smashed even this skull to pieces with a thrust of his spear.

...

"Swoosh!"

From among the head fragments, a quite robust Nascent Soul leapt out.

"Trying to escape?"

Ning Daoran lifted his hand slightly, and immediately a Golden Silk Sword transformed into a flying needle, piercing the air towards Jing Long’s Nascent Soul, nailing it midair with a "pfft" sound.

"Fellow Daoist Ning... Senior Ning, please show mercy!"

Jing Long had resigned to his fate, incessantly pleading for mercy despite losing face on behalf of the Ancestor of Qiyun Tower.

"We’re not done here."

Ning Daoran’s gaze was indifferent, "Where is Ji Ning?"

"She... she’s being held in the underground third layer’s secret chamber of the Martial God Pavilion by me." Jing Long’s Nascent Soul pleaded, "The control Jade Talisman for the chamber’s prohibition is inside the Storage Ring. Please grant me another chance at life, Senior Ning; I will never dare oppose you again and am willing to recognize you as my master by all beings!"

"Is that so?"

Ning Daoran waved his hand and sucked the Storage Ring from the wind, saying, "Lift the prohibition and retrieve the Jade Talisman."

"Yes!"

Jing Long’s Nascent Soul hastily executed several spells to unlock the prohibition, and instantly a Jade Talisman floated out.

Ning Daoran immediately grabbed the Nascent Soul in his hand, as saving someone was urgent; in the next moment, he dashed towards the deep underground of the Martial God Pavilion with Jing Long’s Nascent Soul.

"Ancestor!"

Several disciples of Qiyun Tower gawked in disbelief, staring at the Nascent Soul held in Ning Daoran’s hand, its aura extremely familiar—it could be no one else but their Ancestor, Jing Long?

"Hmm?"

Ning Daoran’s glance instantly made a group of people stare dumbfounded, none daring to step forward to stop him.

At this moment, the radiance of the Falling Star Array continuously descended, and the Martial God Pavilion was already reduced to ashes.

The first underground layer had also turned to ruins, but fortunately, the second and third layers were still intact.

On the third layer, inside a secret chamber, Ji Ning in her beige long dress turned around and looked towards Ning Daoran, her eyes instantly reddening: "Senior Ning, I..."

"No need to say more."

Ning Daoran released his Nascent Soul Divine Sense for a brief inspection, then his lips curled into a smile at Jing Long’s Nascent Soul: "The backup plan really isn’t scarce, it seems it was indeed specially prepared for me."

He then threw out a Class A Paperfolk, and as it stepped forward to unlock the secret chamber’s prohibition with the Jade Talisman, suddenly a streak of blood glow swept across, instantly shattering the Jade Talisman - the Class A Paperfolk with Golden Core Late Stage Cultivation was cut in half at the waist!

"Such scheming, I’ve seen my fair share."

Ning Daoran smiled faintly: "But it won’t stop me."

Saying this, he threw out a second Class A Paperfolk.

"..."

Jing(Long’s Nascent Soul’s face turned exceedingly unsightly, never expecting his painstakingly crafted final turning point to also be easily resolved!
