I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 180: Chapter 137: Life and Death Battle (Part 2)

”Xiaowa!”

Li Mu shouted, and immediately waved his hand to take out several defensive spiritual artifacts from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, including a Ruyi Square Seal, which transformed into a giant mountain and smashed towards the Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion, along with a turtle shield-shaped round shield, which rapidly enlarged to meet the sky.

”Wow!”

Xiaowa responded with a roar, its massive body flashed with a gray light, and countless earth element spiritual power around it descended into the ground.

”Boom!” With a loud noise, hundreds of thousands, millions of pounds of rock and soil suddenly exploded and rose up, instantly transforming into an arc-shaped giant earth shield, enveloping Li Mu and Xiaojin together.

”Zila!”

The moment the giant earth shield formed, the Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion was just brewing a massive thunder essence, which exploded out, and countless Thunder Dragons surged towards Li Mu.

”Pa, pa, pa, ...”

Thunderbolts like rain descended one after another, instantly turning the entire area where Li Mu was located into a Thunder Realm.

Ancient trees of a thousand years were struck by lightning into fragments, the turtle shell shield endured dozens of strikes, its spiritual energy quickly dissipated, and soon it shrank and fell to the ground.

One after another, blue electric snakes, like a torrential rain, crashed into the thick round earth shield, shattering stones, the thunder snakes darted about, as if trying to break through the thick soil and penetrate the earth shield.

Seeing that the ten-thousand-pound earth shield was about to break, Li Mu quickly cast out an earth element true essence to aid the earth shield in consolidating and restoring.

In the Thunder Realm, every second felt like a year for Li Mu, Xiaojin, and Xiaowa, surrounded by a frenzy of thunderstorms filled with the aura of destruction.

Li Mu could clearly feel that the Tier Four Turtle Shield, under the thunder strikes, had its artifact spirit destroyed, its base wrecked, and had only withstood the strikes for a few breaths.

If Xiaowa’s earth shield was destroyed, they would face the baptism of the annihilating thunderbolts.

Li Mu hurriedly increased the transmission of true essence spiritual power, and Xiaowa exerted all its strength, squeezing every ounce of demon power from its body.

The earth’s rocks and sand were rapidly extracted, continuously repairing the circular earth shield damaged by the frenzied thunder essence, ..., the frenzied thunderbolts and the giant earth shield fell into a stalemate.

”Boom!” A loud noise ensued.

The Ruyi Square Seal, turned into a small mountain, smashed fiercely down towards where the Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion stood. In an instant, the ground collapsed, rocks fell, fire and lightning sparked, raising endless dust.

The Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion had already turned into a blue thunderbolt, escaping from its original position in advance.

The blue thunder realm gradually faded away as the Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion moved.

Li Mu left a substitute puppet at the original spot, then his figure flashed, escaping through earth escape.

The next moment, five spirit swords were successively taken out from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, Li Mu performed the Five Elements Sword Array Decision, channeling five elements spiritual power into the spirit swords, letting them whistle away and quickly merge into a single Five Elements Giant Sword of dozens of feet long, slashing towards the Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion.

A fierce glint appeared in the Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion’s eyes, rather than retreating, it advanced, charging towards where Li Mu was.

The Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion was like the Thunder God, its limbs crackling with electricity, moving with thunder control, arriving in the blink of an eye.

Li Mu snorted coldly, executing Five Elements Earth Escape to dodge, while condensing his divine soul to release a soul attack—the Star Gathering Strike, blasting the power of the divine soul towards the divine soul of the Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion.

Li Mu’s figure dissipated and faded away.

”Boom!” A loud crash.

A blue silhouette flashed by, crashing into the giant earth shield, causing it to crumble and collapse upon the Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion.

”Xiaojin, Xiaowa, retreat!”

Li Mu immediately issued a retreat order through the Spirit Taming Contract Seal, realizing they were absolutely no match for the Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion.

Under spiritual perception, Li Mu was certain that this collision barely harmed the Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion’s body, and even the soul attack caused very limited damage to its divine soul.

Xiaojin and Xiaowa promptly executed Li Mu’s orders, with Xiaojin taking big strides to escape and Xiaowa using earth escape to flee.

”Bang!” A loud impact.

The large-bodied Xiaojin suddenly suffered a knock on its back and was hurled harshly onto the ground.

The Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion, eyes bloodshot, landing and continuing to charge upwards, aimed to destroy this human-race enslaved traitor completely.

Li Mu certainly would not remain indifferent, as the Five Elements Giant Sword whizzed in, blocking the path of the Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion’s attack.

”Bang!” A loud crash, the Golden Ape suffered severe injury again, with its chest armor dented, its massive body slammed to the ground, rolling far away like a tumbler.

The Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion was exceptionally agile, dodging the attack of the Five Elements Spirit Sword and kicked Xiaojin away.

Li Mu’s scalp tingled, his figure flickered, using the Five Elements Escape Technique, appearing from the split wood beside Xiaojin, reaching out and bringing Xiaojin into the Spirit Beast Bag.

Checking Xiaojin’s injuries, Li Mu sighed with a bit of relief.

Protected by a layer of spirit armor, and combined with Xiaojin’s robust body, the Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion’s attack did not inflict a fatal injury, meaning with Xiaojin’s recovery speed, these injuries could heal in seven to eight days.

However, the power of the Tier Six Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion far exceeded Li Mu’s estimation; even in its severely injured state, it was still beyond the capacity of Xiaojin and Xiaowa to resist.

After putting Xiaojin in the Spirit Beast Bag, Li Mu quickly adjusted his combat strategy, reaching out to retrieve a tier-four top-grade gold spiritual sword from the storage compartment.

The Five Elements Giant Sword decomposed into five spirit swords, flying back in front of Li Mu.

The eighteen spirit swords entangled with the Golden-winged Demon Eagle in the sky all flew back, being stored into the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl by Li Mu in mid-air.

The Tier Five demon beasts were either wounded or crippled, temporarily not worthy of concern.

Compared to dealing with several Tier Five demon beasts, the present Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion was the most lethal, and if not resolved promptly, once its body recovered, disaster might ensue.

Li Mu decided to ignore the other demon beasts, focusing instead on facing the Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion.

Using flying swords could not catch up with the Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion, nor cause a lethal attack; the only effective method was to engage it in close combat.

Li Mu couldn’t help but regret not refining a tier-five spirit sword for himself, as using a tier-four spirit sword against the Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion might prove fairly limited.

Tier-five spiritual artifacts, Li Mu had refined them before, yet because he failed several times, he gave up.

A single failure in refining a tier-five spiritual artifact resulted in a loss sufficient to refine dozens of tier-four spirit swords; plus, tier-five materials were hard to come by, and even if successfully refined, mastering them was considerably more challenging compared to tier-four spirit swords, which was why Li Mu had not refined a tier-five spiritual artifact.

Facing the Tier Six Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion this time, Li Mu couldn’t help but regret, intending to refine a tier-five spiritual artifact first after this battle ends, regardless of the outcome.

The Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion, eyes bloodshot, stared intently at him, preparing the next wave of attacks.

Li Mu wouldn’t let it rest; this creature had already cast several secret techniques such as Thunder Prison and Thunder Escape that consume demon power, it should also be struggling.

Now, take advantage of its illness to claim its life!

Li Mu waved his hand, dozens of golden sabers shot out directly towards the Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion, his figure flashed, following closely to attack the Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion.
