The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 262 The Death God Mingwang (2)



“It seems that I’ve greatly underestimated you and it is time for me to be a little serious.” The Death God Mingwang scorned as he raised his black sword.

Ji Yuan laughed softly as he readied a sword stance, “You mean that you’re not serious earlier?”

All of a sudden the black sword of the Death God Mingwang had a brilliant halo and in the next instant a long black scythe was reformed in his hand and the profound power that Ji Yuan could sense was suddenly doubled to the ninth cultivation realm power!

Ji Yuan was startled; divine harmony and did his opponent just display a sanctorum power of his divine sword?

“While my cultivation profound strength may be limited here but the profound might of my divine sword is unrestricted here. So do you think that you are able to seriously stand a chance against me?” The Death God Mingwang coldly said.

Ji Yuan nodded slowly, “You are right. Against your profound might, I am definitely not your match.”

The Death God Mingwang laughed coldly. “You’re wise. If you do not resist me while I reach into your inner cultivation core to destroy your spirit entity, I can consider sparing you and even extend the option for you to join us….”

“Who says that I’m surrendering without a fight?” Ji Yuan interrupted with mocking coldness as he displayed the double divine harmony of his sword which caused his saintly divine sword to shine with a white flare.𝒐𝑽𝓁xt.𝓬𝚘𝐦

“It is all just empty talk despite your best attempt to arouse your battle spirit. Under the overwhelming might of my profound might, spirit talk is just for the weaklings to convince themselves that they will be able to stand a chance. But the truth is, it is just a futile struggle and a mean to convince yourself.” The Death God Mingwang hummed coldly.

Ji Yuan hummed before he said coolly, “But I really think that you are just hot air and this is only your bluff.”

“Why do you say that? Is this another one of your reluctant excuses to admit defeat?” The Death God Mingwang laughed.

“No.” Ji Yuan said solemnly. “If you are really as strong as you’ve claimed, surely you don’t have to lure me to this place and to ambush me with these hidden sword energies, am I right? If you’re really as strong as you’ve claimed to be, surely you can come out with a more direct approach to get rid of me…”

“There is only one explanation for this. You’re not really here in this place. Somehow you have the ability to sense me and after I have come to this level, a sword array is triggered by my presence. If I’m not wrong about this then you’re just as astral projection. This is because…”

Ji Yuan inhaled deeply before he said coldly. “This is because you have no shadow. And because you’ve no shadow, I know that you are not here. My master had once told me that he had encountered someone with the Mystic Shadow Profound Art and he had once crossed sword with one before. I presume that is you?”

The Death God Mingwang: …

Ji Yuan continued. “My master had also told me that even though that cultivator is formidable but he is not really there and is only capable of performing short bursts of profound power. Therefore he can only have just a few opportunities to kill his opponent.”

The Death God Mingwang: …

“Now this makes sense. So you have left behind a sword formation in each of the level so that you can have a chance to ambush me? It is because you didn’t know where I am…” Ji Yuan began to rub his chin before he continued. “No, somehow you do know if I’m near and that is why this sword array is triggered and the reason is…”

“You talk too much.” The Death God Mingwang had suddenly raised his dark scythe and a burst of profound energy in the shape of gigantic blade had materialized and was flying toward Ji Yuan!

“Even if you do know my secret but our disparity is still too wide!”

Ji Yuan was actually preparing his Heavenly Light of the Coiling Dragon and he had swung his sword forward…

There was a thunderous clash of energies as Ji Yuan was suddenly sent flying back.

“Too puny and you don’t think that you really stand a chance against me. Even if you know that this is my astral projection but you can’t kill me…”

All of a sudden Ji Yuan flipped in mid-air and his forearm was glowing with his sword spirit. “Oh yea? Super Heavenly Light of the Coiling Dragon!”

The ground around Ji Yuan had suddenly erupted into two splits as a beam of sword energies light in the form of a white flying dragon was suddenly seen and had overwhelmed the gigantic blade that was chasing Ji Yuan.

This gigantic blade was dematerialized and the white light had charged past it to hit the Death God Mingwang with such a thunderous impact that he was completely obliterated in a thunderous impact.

“This…how can your reaction be so quick…how can you still have so much profound strength…” These were the Death God Mingwang’s last words.

Ji Yuan was panting breathlessly. “Thanks Xiang Li…”

“Not at all, Big Brother!” Xiang Li grinned but she was scratching her head.

Ji Yuan had thought that it was Xiang Li who was enhancing his sword spirit to enable him to use the Super Heavenly Light of the Coiling Dragon but actually Xiang Li was only watching the battle.

Xiang Li did not have to enhance Ji Yuan’s sword spirit because ever since Ji Yuan had absorbed a second sword spirit, his original sword spirit was already maxed out.

Ji Yuan had purposely used his weaker profound technique first because the super version required three blinks of a blink to charge and he did not want to make it too obvious for his opponent to evade his most powerful sword art.

He continued to mutter breathlessly. “We shall meet again soon and I hope to meet your true self soon. When that happens, I hope to kill you for real. I actually did not want to reveal this trump card of mine but you’re too strong for me to handle…”

All of a sudden Ji Yuan was interrupted by a startling movement above him as he saw a speeding light that had suddenly flashed from the top.

He was greatly startled because he did not think that there was yet another hidden opponent in the vicinity.

But he did not hesitate at all as he mustered his remaining profound strength to defend against the sudden profound attack while cursing. “This is…really bad timing…”

He was caught at his most vulnerable position and had expended almost all his profound strength. The profound strength that he had lost was actually temporary and he could cultivate it back after a short rest but at this time, he had expended most of his vital energies in his soul sea to execute two powerful techniques.

He shouted aloud as he unleashed a wave of sword energy upward; this was his Super Heavenly Light of the Coiling Dragon as he merged his sword spirit with the Heavenly Light of the Coiling Dragon to form it, “You have underestimated me. At this distance, I am able to muster my trump card and obliterate you even if you’re a great saint…”

That was the truth unless his opponent was a cultivator that was beyond the seventh realm. Moreover his opponent had given him sufficient time to muster his strongest technique; three blinks of an eye were enough for him to execute his strongest profound technique.

Ji Yuan could not see his opponent clearly because his opponent was the fastest opponent that he had ever seen and he could see a profound power that was beyond the seventh realm that was like a suffocating reservoir that had suddenly appeared above him.

All of a sudden there was a brilliant light and a streak of seven stellar lights had dismembered his Super Heavenly Light of the Coiling Dragon from above.

This shocked Ji Yuan as the ground around him was suddenly sunk in by several inches deep and was exploding furiously.

He really got a shock because all of a sudden he could sense the divine power of an immortal sword that was flashing above him.

Another cultivator with an immortal sword?!

Ji Yuan was staring in disbelief.

This time he had really used up all his profound strength. It was because his opponent had not only destroyed his most formidable profound technique but had also sapped all his profound strength at the same time.

He really could not comprehend such a move and he could not understand why all his profound strength could suddenly leave him all of a sudden…

“Xiang Li, I’m sorry…I am still too weak…I can’t protect you…”

Xiang Li gasped softly. “Big Brother, I’m sorry…I am the one that has weakened your profound power…”

“You did what, Xiang Li?!” Ji Yuan was stunned.

All of a sudden the descending sword had suddenly slowed down to a crawl and an angelic face had suddenly popped out in the fluttering dusts; it was Shui Xisi.

Her divine sword was razor sharp and almost at Ji Yuan’s throat.

“Sisi? What are you doing here?” Ji Yuan was stunned that it was Shui Xisi and he did not know that she was actually such a formidable fighter.

Shui Xisi was equally startled as well. “Ji Yuan, it is you? Why did you attack me for?”

Ji Yuan smiled bitterly. “It is you that is attacking me. You didn’t recognize my technique?”

Shui Xisi laughed jovially. “Everything looks the same from below.”

Ji Yuan: …

“Wait a minute. Why are you here and erm…what is that move that you’re using earlier?” Ji Yuan had a perplexed look on his countenance.

Shui Xisi winked her eyes. “Why shouldn’t I be here? I was trying so hard to follow you. Now will you please give me an explanation why did you try to shake me off for? Do you know that I was so anxious for you, hmph! I thought that you’re under attack and you are actually attacking me!”

Ji Yuan muttered. “Oh well…I was fighting someone here…”

“Ouch!!!” All of a sudden Ji Yuan gave a loud yell when Shui Xisi had suddenly pinched his face hard.

“Whaaa. It sounds real.” Shui Xisi was giggling. “You can’t even evade my puny attack at all.”

Ji Yuan muttered almost incoherently. “I’ve just survived a treacherous fight, only to almost die in the hands of my future consort…”

“What did you just say?” Shui Xisi chuckled.

Ji Yuan smiled weakly. “Nothing. I am just saying that I’ve just remembered that you have a Divine Exaltation Miracle Art that can suddenly void out profound energies. This profound art of yours is too much of a cheat, am I right?”

Shui Xisi giggled softly as she stroked Ji Yuan’s cheek lightly. “That is why it is a miracle art, am I right? It is most useful if you suddenly try to be funny with me and I can assist you by cutting your little precious.”

Ji Yuan: …
