Chapter 69: "This is how a Spellcaster should fight."
Chapter 69: "This is how a Spellcaster should fight."
In less than ten breaths, countless bolts of lightning gathered behind Chen Qiu, their numbers continuing to grow.
Chen Qiu appeared as if he had emerged from a heavenly thunder, with countless deep blue lightning serpents intertwining behind him, their numbers so great that they formed a wall of lightning several dozen zhang tall! Even within the black mist, this spectacle was incredibly eye-catching.
It was impossible to ignore.
The deep blue lightning serpents, tinged with purple and even a hint of white, were mesmerizing, their beauty laced with a chilling terror that made one's heart tremble.
At that moment—
The fastest Demon Clan cultivator, who had been closing in on Chen Qiu, suddenly slowed down, despite being less than three zhang away. He stood in shock and disbelief, his Slaughter Blade hanging limply in his hand as he stared at the wall of lightning composed of tens of thousands of lightning serpents behind Chen Qiu.
Even with his battle experience honed in the prison, he felt disoriented, his legs trembling uncontrollably.
The Demon Clan cultivators following closely behind him also slowed their pace.
Then, without hesitation, the leading Demon Clan cultivator turned and fled in the opposite direction, moving even faster than when he had approached. The other Demon Clan cultivators, overwhelmed with fear, also turned and scattered in all directions.
How the hell was he supposed to fight this?
This guy was a Spellcaster!
"Are you the son of the Heavenly Dao? Do you control the lightning tribulation?" he wondered. If someone had told him earlier that a Foundation Establishment First Stage cultivator could activate tens of thousands of lightning summoning spells at once, each with a power far surpassing that of their peers, he would have dismissed it as nonsense.
But now, he had no choice but to believe.
Even the other Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators from Fufeng City, who had come to reinforce the area, were stunned by this display. Without hesitation, they too fled in the opposite direction, though they ran behind Chen Qiu.
Spells didn't discriminate between friend and foe.
Anyone caught in that storm would be doomed.
They all believed their own life-saving methods wouldn't withstand tens of thousands of lightning summoning spells. Could this still be called a lightning summoning spell?
"Run?"
Chen Qiu chuckled as he watched the fleeing Demon Clan cultivators. The gathering lightning serpents behind him grew in number, their blinding light piercing through the black mist and illuminating the entire battlefield.
The lightning summoning spell was a Foundation Establishment Spell with an attack range of a full hundred zhang.
In theory, this wasn't a short distance; the towering peak of Ask Heaven Market that pierced the clouds was only a few thousand zhang tall. But these Demon Clan cultivators were fast, especially as they scattered in all directions. In less than ten breaths, most of them had fled beyond the hundred-zhang range.
Some Demon Clan cultivators had even stopped running and were standing three to four hundred zhang away, turning to look at Chen Qiu. They all seemed to realize that a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Spellcaster couldn't possibly hit them from such a distance.
But Chen Qiu had something even faster.
"Can you do it?"
Chen Qiu turned to the scholar beside him and asked softly, as the number of lightning serpents behind him continued to grow.
"I can," the scholar replied, his expression complex. "With the rich spiritual energy here, what you described is indeed possible. But it feels... inappropriate for a Sword Cultivator, a disgrace to the dignity of Sword Cultivation."
Despite his words, the scholar sat cross-legged on the ground and enlarged the Green Peak longsword by a few inches, offering it to Chen Qiu.
"This is called Sword Cultivator and Spellcaster synergy," Chen Qiu said with a smile. Carrying tens of thousands of lightning serpents, he stepped onto the longsword, and spiritual energy flowed from his feet, forming strands that securely fixed him above the flying sword. In the Celestial Path Secret Realm, his control over spiritual energy had not yet reached such precision.
But of course, combat is the best means of cultivation.
The next second—
The longsword suddenly transformed into a streak of light, shooting towards the distant horizon. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared beyond several dozen li, and the scenery around Chen Qiu blurred as if time was rewinding, making it impossible to discern the surroundings.
Tens of thousands of lightning serpents closely followed Chen Qiu's trail.
At a glance, it looked like a massive glowing sphere, radiating intense light, shooting towards the distance.
"Hey!"
Chen Qiu activated several Golden Bell Talismans to withstand the strong winds. His spiritual energy surged through his body's meridians, counteracting the discomfort caused by such acceleration. He couldn't help but retch as he shouted into the Communication Bracelet on his finger.
"You're going too fast! We've overshot, fly back a bit!"
Soon, the other end of the Communication Bracelet transmitted the Scholar's hurried voice.
"Just a moment, I'm a bit rusty, not used to slowing down. I'll get it right soon!"
It must be said that the Scholar's sword was incredibly fast, far surpassing ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Chen Qiu had once asked the Scholar why he claimed to have no combat power, as such a swift sword, relying solely on speed, could pierce through the protective spiritual energy of many Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
The Scholar didn't give a specific answer then, merely shaking his head with a wry smile.
Perhaps there was some secret he couldn't reveal.
Chen Qiu didn't pry further.
The speed of the longsword beneath his feet gradually slowed down, and they returned to the battlefield above. The pace had slowed enough for him to clearly see the countless Demon Cultivators below, frozen in disbelief.
But even so, the gales on both sides still caused his green robe to flutter noisily.
"This is how Spell Cultivators should fight."
"Stationary Cannons aren't Spell Cultivators, they're just live targets."
Chen Qiu looked down at the Demon Cultivators below, a smile spreading across his face. His fingers trembled slightly, and behind him, tens of thousands of lightning serpents descended like heavenly thunder, bombarding the Demon Cultivators below in a sweeping, devastating attack!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"
The tens of thousands of lightning bolts were extremely dense, almost forming a waterfall, with a strong sense of layering as they fell from the sky in batches, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Countless explosions echoed one after another.
In the blink of an eye, the ground turned black and charred.
Nearly a thousand Demon Cultivators had their protective spiritual energy shattered, turning into ashes amidst their screams.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"
Sensing the danger, some Demon Cultivators immediately flew away on their flying swords without a word, attempting to temporarily leave the area. But who could match the Scholar's flying sword speed?
"Where are you running?"
Chen Qiu stepped onto the Green Peak longsword, instantly catching up to a Demon Cultivator who was trying to escape. Playing with several Palm Heart Lightning bolts in his hand, he looked at the terrified eyes of his target and smiled.
"Not long ago, someone told me that Sword Cultivators are the strongest in the universe."
"I think he made a lot of sense."
"Sword Cultivators are indeed powerful."
As they chatted, dozens of lightning serpents, continuously emitting lightning, enveloped the Demon Cultivator who was flying on his sword. The weak protective spiritual energy shattered in an instant, and the charred longsword and corpse fell from the sky, tracing a parabolic path towards the ground.
Chen Qiu stood on the Green Peak, hovering high in the sky, with one hand behind his back and several Palm Heart Lightning bolts in his hand. He looked down at the fleeing Demon Cultivators with a smile, while behind him, tens of thousands of lightning serpents intertwined, endlessly emitting lightning.
His voice, amplified by spiritual energy, echoed like a demonic whisper, striking the hearts of the fleeing Demon Cultivators.
"But Spell Cultivators aren't weak either."
"What do you think?"
