I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 605 - 331: An Unexpected Incident (Part 2)

The outcome of this battle is no longer in suspense. The entire rhythm of the fight is completely under Li Mu’s control. Everyone watching this duel has almost foreseen the outcome.

The focus of the crowd is no longer on who can win this battle, but on how long Ji Tianyong can last under Li Mu’s fierce offensive.

On the battle stage, the sound of swords clashing echoed continuously, and the sword Qi surged intensely.

Ji Tianyong, the most outstanding Nascent Soul cultivator of the Ji Family, at this moment, seemed like a solitary leaf in a storm, ready to be swallowed by gigantic waves at any time.

Ji Tianyong gritted his teeth and persisted, his heart full of bitterness and helplessness. Although his cultivation was clearly a minor realm higher than his opponent’s, not only could he not defeat him, but he was also being suppressed in an overwhelming manner, unable even to draw out the opponent’s full strength.

Every attack felt like crashing into an invisible wall. This sense of powerlessness made Ji Tianya, who always held himself in high regard, feel almost on the verge of collapse!

However, Ji Tianyong, after all, is a legendary figure of Central State’s Ji Family. His unique pride and dignity do not allow him to fall easily. When faced with Li Mu’s crushing offensive, not only did he not retreat, but it also stirred the fighting spirit deep within him.

Ji Tianyong disregarded life and death, fully devoting himself to this battle. His swordsmanship grew increasingly fierce, each swing seemed to channel all his strength.

In Ji Tianyong’s eyes, there was only one pure thought left now, and that is to fight!

Ji Tianyong no longer hesitated or retreated at all, bursting forth with an indomitable battle spirit. Overlord Sword Heart and Overlord Sword Intent were pushed to the extreme at this moment.

The sharp swordsmanship, each strike resembling a meteor streaking across the sky, carried an endless aura directly targeting Li Mu’s vital spots. The sword aura charged relentlessly, dominating beyond compare, impossible to gaze upon directly.

In an instant, the Five Elements Spirit Sword merged from five into one, with powerful sword Qi erupting forth, clashing fiercely with Ji Tianyong’s slashing Overlord Sword.

A head-on collision without any fancy tricks, only pure strength and unyielding will.

With a loud "boom", sword Qi swept out, air currents surged, and the collision of two forces erupted in a deafening roar, causing the entire fighting stage, heaven, and earth to tremble.

The Five Elements Giant Sword was sent flying by Ji Tianyong’s Overlord Sword, letting out a wail as it disintegrated in mid-air and shot towards Li Mu.

It was evident that Ji Tianyong’s strike had caused damage to the spirits of his five Tier Five Spirit Swords!

Looking at Ji Tianyong again, he was sent flying dozens of steps with his sword, covered in blood, gravely injured, yet his status and aura were incredibly good, like an overlord possessed, unleashing an indomitable, fierce, and unstoppable aura. His eyes were determined and fiery.

"If Ji Tianyong survives this battle, the Ji Family will have another peerless strongman!"

Tianshang Supreme’s eyes flashed with amazement as he looked towards Ji Wuheng, congratulating him.

"The Overlord Sword Technique is indeed remarkable! However, young friend Li has yet to exert his full strength!"

Venerable Kun Ling couldn’t help but praise with a chuckle.

At this moment, Ji Wuheng’s grim face couldn’t help but show a hint of joy. Everyone unanimously favored Li Mu in this bout, and even he himself thought so. In just a century, being able to promote to the Nascent Soul Realm while cultivating the Five Elements was already astonishing. Such talent would pale Ji Tianyong in comparison.

Not to mention, that boy has an intense Five Elements True Essence, Divine Thought, Technique, Escape Technique, Swordsmanship; almost everything is incredibly powerful. Let alone possessing the capability of a Tier Six Refining Grandmaster, facing such an extraordinary opponent would lead to despair.

Nevertheless, Ji Tianyong held his ground under pressure, and in the face of adversity, he activated the heart of the overlord, growing bolder as he fought, showcasing an indomitable fighting spirit and formidable strength.

After this battle, with the proceeds from the battle, Ji Tianyong would undoubtedly break through to the Divinity Transformation realm, perhaps even stepping into a higher realm.

The fierce battle on the arena continued. The two exchanged intense strikes, whipping up gusts of wind.

Feeling Ji Tianyong’s strength and resilience, as well as his indomitable fighting spirit and aura, Li Mu couldn’t help but feel interested. In the Cultivation Realm, it is rare to encounter such an evenly matched opponent, especially under the circumstance where neither a Tier Six Spirit Sword nor Tier Six Spirit Treasure could be used.

Such an opponent excited Li Mu, prompting him to take this duel more seriously.

In response to Ji Tianyong, Li Mu summoned seven Tier Five Gold Spirit Swords from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, utilizing the Five Elements Escape Technique. With a flicker, he swiftly created distance from the approaching Ji Tianyong.

Following this, Li Mu formed a sword technique with his hands, casting the Seven-Star Sword Array. Seven Tier Five Gold Spirit Swords instantly streaked through the air, enclosing Ji Tianyong within a blink.

The Seven-Star Sword Array is an extremely strong formation for both offense and defense. The Gold Tier Five Spirit Swords in the air formed a perfect seven-star pattern, each sword emitting brilliant radiance, like stars from the sky descending upon the mortal realm.

Upon forming the sword array, Li Mu gained free control over these seven swords, launching a dense flying sword assault on Ji Tianyong from every angle and direction.

"Whoosh, whoosh..." The Gold Tier Five Spirit Swords streaked like meteorites, with flickering sword light and an imposing power.

Ji Tianyong felt the immense pressure from the Seven-Star Sword Array. He noticed that his offensive was perfectly intercepted and that there seemed to be a powerful suction within the array, trapping his movement.

Nonetheless, Ji Tianyong didn’t easily concede, triggering the Overlord Sword Heart and Overlord Sword Intent, infusing all his strength into his sword, resolutely launching a fierce counter from within the array.

"Ping, ping, pang, pang..."

Inside the Seven-Star Sword Array, Ji Tianyong repeatedly knocked away the flying swords attacking him, yet he remained unable to breach the array’s confinement, quickly descending into a dire situation.

"The Seven-Star Sword Array? Isn’t this the famed array of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect! What’s the relationship between this one and the Profound Celestial Sword Sect?"

Recognizing the array Li Mu employed, Ji Wuheng’s face darkened. He looked towards Venerable Kun Ling and Tianshang Supreme, concernedly asking: "The two of you, what exactly is this person’s relation to the Profound Celestial Sword Sect?"

At the moment, both Tianshang Supreme and Venerable Kun Ling seemed somewhat stunned, displaying expressions of surprise on their faces.

"That’s not right; young friend Li should have no connection with the Profound Celestial Sword Sect. Otherwise, the sect’s Steward Fang wouldn’t have joined us in extending an invitation to young friend Li!" Venerable Kun Ling pondered for a moment, confidently remarked.

"Indeed! I can attest that young friend Li is definitely not from the Profound Celestial Sword Sect!" Tianshang Supreme contemplated, then confirmed as well.

"Ha! The Sword Array Technique, this is the core secret technique of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, only learnable by their core disciples. Earlier, when he used the Five Elements Sword Array, I thought he realized it through self-understanding of the Five Elements Technique. But now, seeing this Seven-Star Sword Array, and his smooth execution and exquisite technique, not even those Sword Sons from the Profound Celestial Sword Sect can compare! How could there be no connection between them!" Ji Wuheng kept his gaze fixed on the battle stage, watching Li Mu perform his sword techniques as seamlessly as flowing clouds and flowing water, his tone carrying an unmistakable heaviness.

Upon hearing Ji Wuheng’s words, the onlookers’ expressions froze, revealing shock and confusion. They did not expect the sword array Li Mu executed to have such close ties with the Profound Celestial Sword Sect.

"But didn’t people from the Profound Celestial Sword Sect come as well! If the two of you are unaware, I’ll ask Sword Master Feng!" Ji Wuheng straightforwardly proposed.

...

At this moment, Ji Wuyong was already trapped within the sword array, with defeat inevitable and irretrievable. Li Mu also let out a sigh of relief, having enough attention to notice what’s happening on the field. Seeing the bewildered and surprised expressions of the people and hearing their discussions, a wave of doubt arose in his heart.

Is the Profound Celestial Sword Array I cultivated—the Basic Sword Formation Chapter, truly related to the Profound Celestial Sword Sect? If there really is a relationship, how would the people from the Profound Celestial Sword Sect react?

Li Mu couldn’t help but furrow his brow, falling into contemplation.
