Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7335

Chapter 7249: The Expectation of Ten Stars

Meanwhile, Sui Shenyao and Aurora, each on one side, guided Li Tianming through the details of his swordsmanship, helping him gradually master the Chaos Sword Dao until he could apply it in actual combat.

This was the ability of the Chaos Sword Maidens; they were of one mind with Li Tianming, able to guide him more efficiently and quickly point out his shortcomings.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years of sword practice had passed…

Li Tianming had already mastered a small degree of swordsmanship, and could basically use it in battle without any problems.

He slowed his movements, slowly sheathed his sword, and finally let out a long breath.

“That’s about enough. Next, it’s time to hone it in actual combat. It’s difficult to master it by practicing alone.” Li Tianming said slowly, then continued, “After all, this is the most essential foundation of the Initial Sword. The combined sword Dao ‘Primordial Chaos’ can wait. Haste makes waste.”

“Well done, Little Li, you’ve got the awareness!” Sui Shenyao grinned and gave him a thumbs up.

“That’s called acting within one’s means! But to be honest, cultivation is inevitable sooner or later anyway, so there’s no rush now,” Li Tianming said with a slight smile.

After resting for a while, Li Tianming suddenly remembered something and asked, “Now that another hundred years have passed, have those two made any moves?”

Aurora naturally knew who Li Tianming was referring to: the Li who had agreed to a three-hundred-year-long duel, and the only deputy general in the Demon Extermination Army who was currently fighting against Li Tianming.

At this moment, she hesitated and said, “This Wei Qingyu… to say he’s impatient, he hasn’t really made any big moves lately. But to say he’s patient, he’s always making small moves, always causing trouble and bothering people, it’s very annoying.”

Li Tianming was a little surprised to hear this and asked, “What exactly has he done? Tell me.”

“During this period, the thing he’s done the most is to win people’s hearts. Putting aside those who had already sided with Wei Qingyu because of Yu Mo’s surrender or Jiu Yang’s death, he even tried to poach people from our side,” Aurora said slowly.

“No way? This person is so shameless, he’d even poach someone’s partner?” Sui Shenyao said in surprise.

Aurora nodded and continued, “Of course, and it’s not just that. His men occasionally provoke our people, deliberately stirring up small disputes and pushing the boundaries of the law. Anyway, it’s hard to judge right or wrong in these so-called minor squabbles. People in the military are naturally quite hot-blooded, and occasional fights are inevitable. As long as the limits are maintained, the law sometimes doesn’t determine any serious guilt. Otherwise, their three deputy generals would have been dismissed long ago for their infighting.”

Upon hearing this, Sui Shenyao immediately asked curiously, “Are those members of the Demon Extinction Army really willing to be manipulated by him and become his tools?”

“Internal conflicts have existed within this section of the Great Wall for a long time, and friction has always been present. Many of these are accumulated conflicts over the years. Even among our followers, if someone instigates trouble, they might fight with their own people, let alone those who intentionally provoke conflict. So, in this situation, we don’t have a good way to mediate the conflicts, so we are at a disadvantage,” Aurora said helplessly.

At this moment, Li Tianming fell into deep thought.

After a long pause, he asked doubtfully, “In the past, they fought for a thousand years because they each acted secretly and couldn’t find evidence against each other. Now that we have Yin Chen, can’t we find evidence of their instigation and harassment?”

“This Wei Qingyu is very clever,” Sui Shenyao sighed slightly. “Ever since he learned that we have near-absolute vision, he has been extremely cautious. He knows we have informants and is very good at hiding, often entering multiple layers of Dao formations. Perhaps he arranged everything in the process.”

“Really? Then we’re helpless against this ‘flower waterer’?” Sui Shenyao said somewhat displeased.

Li Tianming also fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

In order to gain a foothold in the Heavenly Eight Absolute Demon Army, he had exposed his heaven-defying intelligence abilities, but unexpectedly, it had created a problem for himself.

Of course, if he could do it again, Li Tianming would still choose to expose his abilities.

If he didn’t do so, the Heavenly Eight Absolute Demon Army would really have nothing to do with him; that was the best choice in that situation.

What surprised Li Tianming was Wei Qingyu’s confidence in confronting him.

“Who gave him the courage to face an opponent like me, who already has the advantage in both combat strength and popular support…” Li Tianming asked, somewhat puzzled.

“I suspect that there’s someone behind the scenes, someone behind the scenes, within his Dao Formation,” Yin Chen suddenly said.

“Yin Chen is right. I’ve also had my suspicions, and it’s highly likely. After all, he really has no chance of winning on the surface. While he was out of Yin Chen’s sight, he might have been secretly planning something, stirring up some minor conflicts within the Demon Extinction Army. That’s definitely not his real purpose,” Aurora nodded.

“I wonder where that kid gets the confidence to go against Little Li,” Yin Chen added.

Li Tianming frowned slightly upon hearing this.

“This Wei Qingyu is like a fly in a cesspool, harmless but purely disgusting. I want to get rid of him as soon as possible, at least to retrieve the boundary core and truly reclaim the authority of the Great War God.” Li Tianming’s expression was somewhat cold, but also somewhat helpless. “But currently, there’s no opportunity. He’s just ‘lurking’ like this, there’s really no way to deal with him. Even Yin Chen’s image sphere is useless…”

Aurora smiled gently at this moment, comforting him, “There will be an opportunity. No one can be perfect forever. We have the confidence to face their tricks, while they can only make one mistake. From this perspective, we still have an absolute advantage.”

Li Tianming nodded slightly upon hearing this. “That’s true. After we deal with this traitor, we can then focus on making contributions. Perhaps we can strive to reach the ten-star Great War God level sooner.”

In the past, Li Tianming wasn’t very persistent in improving his Star Palace, after all, it was too much effort.

But the situation was completely different now.

Back then, he faced three deputy generals, but now there was only one left. If he could take care of him, it wouldn’t be a loss for Li Tianming.

Moreover, Li Tianming has already tasted the benefits of Star Palace cultivation; it has indeed been very advantageous to him!

Furthermore, and most importantly, Li Tianming has coincidentally found a special Star Palace belonging to the Stealing Heaven Clan, which is of immense help to him!

Therefore, Li Tianming is now eager to achieve merit quickly and has truly changed his mind.

Even a single Star Palace can provide such tremendous assistance; what kind of support can a tenth Star Palace offer Li Tianming?

This makes Li Tianming eagerly anticipate what he will receive.
