I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 707: Chapter 380: Challenging the Sword Tower (Part 3)

Dammit! Only at the Divinity Transformation Initial Realm, not even comparable to my Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation realm, how is this cultivation so profound!

Sword Wuchen struggled to handle Li Mu’s counterattacks, feeling astonished in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Li Mu was able to adapt to his attacks so quickly and display such formidable cultivation. Sword Wucheng secretly grew anxious, fearing that he had encountered a powerful opponent who was merely playing the fool.

The two once again fell into fierce combat, the Sword Qi released by Li Mu’s Golden Spirit Sword surged endlessly, forming a mighty golden dragon. Each swing of the sword carried a thunderous force, directly targeting the vital points of Sword Wuchen.

Though Sword Wuchen tried his best to fend off the attacks, the depth of Li Mu’s cultivation seemed akin to Late-Stage Void Refining, making him feel enormous pressure.

However, Sword Wuchen, after all, was a core Spirit Peak disciple of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, with formidable strength. He quickly adjusted his status, beginning to utilize his specialties to counter Li Mu’s attacks with agile and ever-changing body techniques and exquisite swordsmanship.

Their figures continuously crisscrossed and shuttled in the Sword Tower space, sometimes engaging in close combat, sometimes attacking from afar with Sword Qi, the scene was extremely intense.

As time went on, the battle gradually neared its end.

Continuously launching strong attacks without forcing Sword Wuchen into more change of tactics, and seeing the bright spots, Li Mu intended to end the fight, increasing the output intensity of his Sword Technique Golden Sharp Sword Qi.

Although Sword Wuchen could barely withstand Li Mu’s attacks, he was increasingly fatigued and unable to find a swift method to defeat the enemy.

At this moment, Li Mu suddenly swung his sword, and golden Sword Qi slashed towards Sword Wuchen like lightning. Seeing this, Sword Wuchen was unable to dodge and hurriedly raised his sword to block, but this time, he felt an unprecedented pressure.

This sword of Li Mu seemed to contain the power of heaven and earth, making it impossible for him to resist.

Sword Wuchen only felt a huge force coming, causing him to retreat uncontrollably.

At this moment, Li Mu’s figure flashed, appearing in front of Sword Wuchen, pointing his sword straight at his throat.

Sword Wuchen’s expression changed drastically, wanting to dodge but it was already too late.

”I lost!” Sword Wuchen sighed, his hand holding the long sword trembling uncontrollably.

”Fellow Daoist, farewell, until we meet again.” Li Mu smiled slightly, as he spoke, he handed out his long sword, slicing the Sword Talisman on Sword Wuchen’s body.

With a flash of Spirit Light, Sword Wuchen’s figure disappeared from the Sword Tower space.

Li Mu took out the Elder Token, and the next moment, his figure disappeared from the Sword Tower space, appearing in another Sword Tower space. To challenge the Sword Tower’s boss, one must win 10 consecutive matches in the Sword Tower competition first to gain the opportunity to challenge the 100th floor’s boss.

”Supreme Profound Peak—Han Yuling, greetings Fellow Daoist!” A female cultivator in a white dress appeared before Li Mu, holding a white Ice Spirit Sword, politely said.

Li Mu smiled slightly, hurriedly returned the salute with his sword, and said, ”Seven Gods Peaks—Li Mu, greetings Fellow Daoist Han.”

Their gazes met, both could feel the strong battle intent emanating from the other, knowing that the next will be an intense sword Dao duel.

Han Yuling was the first to launch the attack, swinging her sword like a rainbow, her figure transformed into a silver meteor directly targeting Li Mu.

Li Mu didn’t dare to be negligent, he tightly gripped the Spirit Sword in his hand, welcoming the attack. Dozens of moves, a hundred moves passed, and Li Mu found Han Yuling’s flaw. Her swordsmanship was indeed exquisite but seemed somewhat constrained by form, lacking change, overly mechanical.

While defending, Li Mu seized the opportunity to counterattack. Once he gained the upper hand, he relentlessly launched strong attacks, his Sword Momentum heavy, pressing upon Han Yuling’s full strength.

Not only did Li Mu’s swordsmanship change in a myriad of ways, but each sword strike seemed to carry a mighty force, making it difficult for Han Yuling to resist.

While desperately resisting, Han Yuling swiftly adjusted her status, trying to find a flaw in Li Mu’s swordsmanship.

However, Li Mu’s swordsmanship seemed to have no flaws to find, each sword’s force and precision were just right, leaving her no room to counterattack.

Knowing that she might not be able to hold on for long this way, Han Yuling decided to change her strategy, focusing more on unleashing her Frost Sword Intent.

Han Yuling silently recited the Sword Technique in her heart, her figure suddenly became erratic. Wisps of cold air slashed out with each Sword Technique, abruptly freezing the air, as if intending to freeze Li Mu alongside.

”Fellow Daoist Han, quite the strategy!”

Li Mu looked at the surrounding forming Ice Domain, with ice cones rapidly spreading across the Sword Tower space, rendering Li Mu with nowhere to stand, his figure impeded.

Upon hearing this, Han Yuling smiled slightly, a trace of self-satisfaction flashed in her eyes, her Sword Techniques became even fiercer. Each sword strike seemed to carry a chill, directly assailing Li Mu’s mind, as if to freeze his Divine Soul as well.

Li Mu immediately felt the change in Han Yuling’s Sword Intent, the cold and fierce killing intent contained within.

Li Mu couldn’t help but inwardly commend this Fellow Daoist Han Yuling’s Frost Sword Intent, truly extraordinary. Each move and technique brimming with Frost Sword Intent, what was originally a rigid Sword Technique, paired with this Frost Sword Intent, became impeccable.

The surrounding air, under Han Yuling’s Cold Frost Sword Techniques, seemed about to freeze, getting colder and colder.

He couldn’t let her continue like this. The Cold Frost Sword Qi was pervasive, this Sword Tower space gradually becoming Han Yuling’s main battleground.

Li Mu knew he couldn’t allow Han Yuling to continue unchecked, and immediately took countermeasures. The Five Elements True Essence within him rapidly transformed, with Fire Element True Essence at the core, blazing and frenzied.

Instantly feeling the Fire Element True Essence surging inside, like a fire dragon moving within, ready to erupt at any moment.

The next moment, Li Mu swung his sword, transforming Sword Qi into a scorching fire dragon clashing fiercely with Han Yuling’s Ice Sword Qi. Instantly, the Sword Tower space became a battlefield of ice and fire, one side frigidly cold, the other blazing hot, the two colliding explosively, creating deafening blasts.

Han Yuling’s expression slightly changed, never expecting Li Mu could so easily break her Ice Sword Qi. Her swordsmanship, renowned for ice, Ice Sword Qi capable of freezing everything, yet facing Li Mu’s Fire Element Sword Qi, seemed countered, her strength ineffective.

Li Mu, on the other hand, grew more vigorous in battle, feeling stimulated and thrilled by the clash between his Fire Element True Essence and Han Yuling’s Sword Qi. He continued swinging his sword, each Sword Qi like a frenzied fire dragon, defeating Han Yuling’s Ice Sword Qi one by one.

Once more, their sword techniques intertwined, Sword Qi crisscrossed, each clash producing intense ice-fire impacts, explosions, and melting.

Li Mu fought more smoothly, learning from Han Yuling’s Sword Techniques, gradually feeling the perfect integration of Fire Element True Essence and Sword Techniques, as if already one with the Sword Intent.

Li Mu continuously changed his Sword Techniques, at times as fierce as raging fire, concentrating Sword Qi into a fire dragon roaring towards Han Yuling; at times as swift as fierce flames in a gale, Sword Qi transforming into fiery lines darting around Han Yuling, dazzling the eye; at times as vast as a fire vortex, engulfing the entire Sword Tower space, conveying the grandiose momentum of Fire Element Sword Qi.

Soon, Han Yuling, pressured by Li Mu’s onslaught, found it hard to catch her breath. She retreated repeatedly, attempting to turn the tide. However, Li Mu’s swordsmanship was ever-changing, his fire cultivation profound beyond measure, leaving Han Yuling struggling to respond, overwhelmed.

Finally, in an intense Sword Qi collision, Han Yuling was struck by Li Mu’s scorching fire dragon Sword Qi, forced back several steps, her face turning pale, realizing she could no longer withstand Li Mu’s attacks.

”I lost.” Han Yuling took a deep breath, looking at Li Mu, conceded helplessly with a clasped fist.

”Thanks for conceding, Fellow Daoist Han.” Li Mu smiled slightly, decisively slashing out a Sword Qi, breaking the Sword Talisman on Han Yuling’s body.

With a ”puff” sound, Han Yuling’s figure vanished from the Sword Tower space.

Upon leaving, Han Yuling’s expression was somewhat bewildered, surprised at being so neatly and decisively defeated by the other’s ruthless hand. She gazed deeply at Li Mu, seemingly unwilling, wanting to sear Li Mu’s face into memory.

Li Mu didn’t notice Han Yuling’s expression. He was savoring the gains from this battle.

This duel gave Li Mu a deeper understanding of Fire Element Sword Intent, feeling the enhancement in power brought by the perfect coordination between Five Elements True Essence and Sword Techniques.

Half an hour later, Li Mu’s figure disappeared from this level of Sword Tower space, starting to face the next opponent.
