Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 500 - 498: Coiling Dragon Wall

"Shua shua shua~~~"

Li Bin started off with ten Forbidden Breaking Talismans.

Ning Daoran was somewhat taken aback. What was this? How could it be so similar to his own style?

However, Li Bin’s Forbidden Breaking Talismans were not used to break the Array; instead, he set them up around himself, creating a "vacuum zone," rendering most of Ning Daoran’s Arrays useless against him.

Such a method of using a large number of Forbidden Breaking Talismans for self-protection was extremely rare.

"Die for me, old man!"

In the next second, Li Bin initiated his attack, and in a flash, he seemed to become a different person, with dense golden scales appearing on his face, arms, and legs, and like manifesting the Dragon Demon Body, two dragon horns also sprouted from his forehead. His whole aura changed in an instant, no longer resembling either human or dragon.

Simultaneously, as Li Bin’s Mana was mobilized, chaotic auras swirled from all directions, followed by dragon claw attacks lunging from within the chaos!

"A True Dragon Treasure Technique?!"

Ning Daoran slightly furrowed his brows. This was indeed unexpected. It seems that Han Dinghai’s earlier words were untrue; he did not keep the secret solely for the Dragon Ancestor but had shared the True Dragon Treasure Technique with this Hidden Dragon Sect Ancestor as well.

"Having regrets now?"

Li Bin had a fierce and malevolent face, continuously deploying snippets of the True Dragon Treasure Techniques like Dragon Form, Dragon Claws, Dragon Flame; his momentum was extremely strong!

For a time, Ning Daoran could only rely on the ancient treasures, the Green Bamboo Scroll and the Lingxiao Mist Dream Bracelet, for self-defense.

"The legendary Independent Practitioner Jianjia can’t possibly be limited to just this, can he?"

Li Bin began to taunt him.

"Fine fine fine, let me get serious for a moment."

Ning Daoran’s gaze turned icy, lightning flickered around him, and in an instant, he appeared behind Li Bin, landing a heavy spear strike on Li Bin’s skull.

"Peng~~~"

The loud noise shook the Dragon Cave, but unfortunately, the spear strike did not have the desired effect as Li Bin was surrounded by a dense Protective Spirit Gang.

The True Dragon Treasure Technique was not an ultimate skill. In the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World, many incomplete versions circulated among the major powers, and those fragments were mostly of Heavenly-order Lower-grade or Earth Rank top-grade quality.

Some Great Cultivators in the Golden Core Stage from large Sects would practice the True Dragon Treasure Techniques. Ning Daoran had encountered an Old Golden Core cultivator who practiced it during the border battle and quickly killed him with just a few spear strikes.

However, with the same technique, the effects vary wildly when displayed by those with different Inner Strength.

At that moment, the True Dragon Treasure Technique deployed by Li Bin, the Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, was indeed very powerful, giving Ning Daoran a hard time dealing with it, not something that could be resolved in a few moves.

For a while, the two fought back and forth, the battle raging on.

"Sss sss sss~~~"

Just as Li Bin’s True Dragon Treasure Technique was about to gain the upper hand, Ning Daoran began to reveal the power of the Eternal Immortal Vine. When those tendrils actually stood up against the True Dragon Treasure Technique, Li Bin was shocked.

"I’m quite familiar with Wood Attribute Techniques myself, what kind of technique is this that it’s so powerful?"

He was surprised by Ning Daoran’s technique while he brought out his stronger trump card; the luminosity of the Coiling Dragon Wall behind him surged, continuously providing Li Bin with an endless stream of Mana and Dragon Energy.

Ning Daoran didn’t speak, merely continuing to attack furiously.

Li Bin sneered and devoted himself to the combat, no longer talking.

Inside the Dragon Cave, the two went back and forth, the sound of battle unceasing. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged over a hundred moves, yet neither victory nor defeat, nor a clear display of strength or weakness, was determined.

Ning Daoran frowned, realizing that today it would be very difficult to take down Li Bin. Even with the help of Big Stupid Deer and Little Bai, it would likely be hard, given Li Bin’s profound foundation, his deep knowledge of the True Dragon Treasure Technique, and most importantly, the Coiling Dragon Wall enhancing his combat power significantly. The chances of killing him today were extremely low.

Of course, the most crucial reason was that Ning Daoran had fought two battles in a row!

He had actually been injured in the first battle against the Dragon Ancestor, and while he could replenish his Mana with the Nine Heavens Jade Dew, the burns he sustained were difficult to heal in a short time.

Moreover, the Evergreen Technique was mainly being used to nurture the Eternal Immortal Vine to fend off enemies, leaving not much to heal his injuries.

It could be said that Ning Daoran could only exert about seventy percent of his combat strength at this time!

And Li Bin, the more he fought, the colder his heart became.

Over the years, having obtained the True Dragon Treasure Technique and practicing with the Coiling Dragon Wall, his confidence swelled, feeling his combat power was completely comparable to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, yet he couldn’t seem to gain any advantage against this junior in the Gold Core Late Stage.

Was this reasonable?

Fortunately, the opponent was injured, especially the right arm, which was burned by the Dragon Flame like a charred wing, crispy on the outside and tender inside, not able to muster strength, otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome.

So, Li Bin fought with even more valor!

He even brought out numerous Magical Treasures, battling Ning Daoran tit for tat!

...

And just when they had crossed over two hundred moves, there were steady approaches of cultivator auras from afar, including some Golden Core cultivators.

"Ancestor!"

A figure descended from the sky above, it was Han Dinghai. When he saw Ning Daoran, his heart instantly sank with surprise; could this be the legendary Independent Practitioner Jianjia?

Fortunately, this person seemed extremely battered, severely injured, which should mean their Ancestor was gaining the upper hand.

"Be careful!"

Li Bin said solemnly, "This person has set up an Array, do not approach. If you want to help, try destroying this Array from outside with Forbidden Breaking Talismans and other means!"

"Yes, Ancestor!"

A group of Hidden Dragon Sect disciples showed a united front of hostility, each launching various treasures and Magic techniques at the outermost Nine Revolutions Ruyi Formation.

"Ancestor!"

While attacking the Array, Han Dinghai said with a deep voice, "People from Wind Snow Tower have also caught wind of this and Junior Sister Bai is leading the Wind Snow Tower Disciples over. What should we do?"

"Hmph!"

Li Bin said solemnly, "Good, let them come!"

Ning Daoran furrowed his brow. He deliberately lifted the "soundproofing" effects of several arrays to listen in on what Han Dinghai and the others were saying, only to hear news that the Wind Snow Tower was approaching.

This was troublesome.

If he encountered Bai Ying and Bai Feiyu, should he take action or not?!

Forget it, he wouldn’t be able to kill Li Bin today anyway, might as well leave it at that!

With this thought, Ning Daoran no longer hesitated. With a sudden thrust of his spear followed by a flowing move with his flying sword, he forced Li Bin back, then lightly raised his hand, and the array flags and array plates of dozens of grand arrays turned into specks of starlight, swiftly flying into his Storage Bag. Immediately following, with a flash of lightning, he activated the Nine Heavens Escape Thunder Technique’s Instant Teleportation Divine Ability and his form had already appeared in a forest tens of miles away.

Then, casting spells to switch between Wood Escape and Earth Escape, he rapidly left the area.

Back in the Dragon Cave, the people from the Hidden Dragon Sect were left dumbfounded.

"Where... where did he go?"

Han Dinghai was dumbfounded.

That person had actually vanished right before their eyes, which was an unbelievably stunning matter!

"Could it be..."

Han Liang, gritting his teeth, said, "Has that Independent Practitioner Jianjia already formed his Nascent Soul?"

"There’s no need for wild guesses."

Li Bin cast a piercing glance and said, "That person is a Golden Core, not a Nascent Soul. The reason for his ability to teleport instantly is because he has cultivated a certain technique to the point of Return to Nature."

"I see..."

Han Liang frowned but then looked down at the Dragon Cave below, inevitably feeling a sense of awe.

"Elder Ancestor, what is this place?" A disciple asked.

"Dinghai!"

Li Bin’s voice was filled with authority. "This place is the Forbidden Land of our Hidden Dragon Sect. Immediately lead the disciples away. I shall deal with everything that has happened here."

"Yes, Elder Ancestor!"

With a command from Han Dinghai, the crowd hastened away.

Only Li Bin stayed behind. He looked down at the empty Dragon Cave, then looked up to where the Dragon Binding Rope had been, feeling an immense wave of regret.

Years of planning had gone to waste, with both the legacy of the Dragon Binding Rope and the complete True Dragon Treasure Technique unattained, all ending up being mere illusions.

Fortunately, he had already collected a significant amount of the True Dragon Treasure Technique, so overall, the future of the Hidden Dragon Sect still looked quite promising.

With that thought, Li Bin’s mouth curled into a comfortable smile.

But when he thought of Independent Practitioner Jianjia, who might not let the matter go, the smile on the corners of his mouth gradually faded away.

...

At Dragon Tail Peak, in the Fish-Dragon Square, in the talisman shop.

Ning Daoran returned to the shop, but Li Yinpeng was utterly unaware, still fully engrossed in studying the Talismanic way.

Within the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven.

Ning Daoran furrowed his brow, sitting cross-legged, circulating the Eternal Green Technique to heal his injuries. The battle with the old dragon was exhilarating indeed, but it also left him severely wounded; had it not been for the help of a few spiritual beasts, the outcome would have been hard to say.

"Master."

Beside him, Little Bai knelt on the ground, speaking gently, "The Hidden Dragon Sect and that bastard Li Bin have shown such disrespect, should we not strategize a bit and uproot the Hidden Dragon Sect entirely?"

"..."

Ning Daoran glanced at her.

It had to be you, the White Sheep Demon Queen, with such ruthless words that hadn’t even crossed Ning Daoran’s mind for the moment.

"No rush."

He said indifferently, "After all, the Hidden Dragon Sect is a top sect in Sangyu Country, and combined with Li Bin’s Coiling Dragon Wall and the True Dragon Treasure Technique, they are indeed formidable, and they have a deep foundation. Even if the entire Ning Family Army were to be mobilized, victory is not guaranteed.

Moreover, apart from Li Bin and Han Dinghai, the other clueless disciples are not unforgivable criminals. It’s unreasonable to just go over there and slay them. This matter is not urgent; we’ll wait until I have fully recovered from my injuries and emerged from seclusion."

"Yes, I will follow your command, Master."

Little Bai sat down to the side, nurturing her demon Qi.

At that moment, Big Stupid Deer limped over, knelt beside his elder brother, and used his spiritual energy to nourish Ning Daoran’s injuries.

Little Blackie, unsurprisingly, was severely injured again, frolicking in the Jade Spirit Spring, eating fish and shrimp in great delight.

Then, a youth in green robes approached. It was Ning Xiaogui.

"Brother Ran."

Ning Xiaogui spoke softly, "I feel that I’m about to breakthrough..."

"That’s good news."

Ning Daoran reached out and handed over a Jade Bottle, saying, "There are twenty True Blood Pills in this bottle. Since you’re about to break through, don’t skimp. Eat as much as needed until you achieve breakthrough!"

"Thank you, Brother Ran!"

Ning Xiaogui held the Jade Bottle and walked away with a smile, preparing to make the breakthrough.

"Little Bai, go and protect Little Gui."

"Yes, Master!" ƒгeewebnovёl.com

...

Not long after, a dense cloud of demonic Qi rose into the air.

Dozens of days later, Green Water Turtle officially broke through to the Gold Core Late Stage! And by that moment, the main forces of the Ning Family Army were all at the Gold Core Late Stage!

Next step, Nascent Soul!
