How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

Li Muyun's lips curled up slightly. After a month of hellish training, he had mastered the Golden Gang Spell and Thunder Technique to perfection. With the addition of two magical artifacts, even Li Tianquan would not be able to deal with him easily.

Just as Li Muyun had expected, Li Tianquan's expression changed. The urgent need to deal with the lightning pillars and magical artifacts made it difficult for him to attend to both at the same time. He could only let out a low roar, and his true energy suddenly erupted. He spun around and formed a tornado on the spot.

The lightning bolt struck the tornado, causing Li Tianquan to grunt. Fortunately, the magical artifact was pulled off its original trajectory by the gale and shot to the side.

Li Tianquan's face turned somewhat ugly. He hadn't expected to dodge Li Muyun's attack so poorly. His eyes flashed with murderous intent, and with a flick of his wrist, a short knife appeared in his hand.

Holding the knife in reverse, Li Tianquan's true energy surged even more, transforming into a streak of azure light as he charged towards Li Muyun. With each slash, a rain of true energy fell, forming a wall of blade wind that seemed poised to tear Li Muyun apart!

"Mid-grade Spirit Martial Skill: Torrential Rain and Gale Slash".

This move put Li Muyun under immense pressure, and he became extremely vigilant. His eyes flashed with lightning, and his entire body was covered in arcs of electricity. He retreated rapidly like lightning, dodging all the seemingly impenetrable slashes as if he were a ghost. At the same time, he controlled the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife and the Xuan Iron Needle to attack Li Tianci from different directions.

"Can you hide?"

Amidst the flashing blades, Li Tianquan sneered. Once his martial arts technique suppressed his opponent, he would not give them any chance to breathe.

With the enhancement of his true qi, Li Tianquan's short sword gleamed with a three-foot-long cold light. He leaped high into the air, riding the strong wind, and then spun down rapidly with the blade of true qi. This speed was 30% faster than before, and the sharp blade cut through the air with a piercing shriek!

"Mid-grade Spirit-level Martial Skill: Wind Sweeps Away the Building and Slashes".

Li Muyun sighed inwardly, "Wuji Sect truly lives up to its reputation as the number one martial arts sect in the Tang Dynasty. Their martial arts techniques are exquisite and powerful, making them a real pain to deal with. They've already forced me into a situation where I have nowhere to retreat or dodge."

From the stands, Zhao Huanjin nodded in praise, "What a fine set of Three Raging Wind Slashes! Even if the second slash can be barely blocked, the third slash will probably decide the outcome."

With a smug smirk, He Qing stroked his beard and said, "Young Master Tianquan is exceptionally talented; I merely offered him a few pointers."

Li Xianjiu pursed her lips and muttered under her breath, "This Li Muyun still lacks practical experience. Although a martial artist's attack is strong, its range is limited. You have to keep the rhythm in your own hands and outmaneuver this brute."

Faced with this attack from the sky, Li Muyun took a deep breath, his left hand forming the Golden Qi Mantra and his right hand forming the Thunder Technique, his entire body covered by Golden Qi and lightning.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads. Trying to withstand the attack would definitely result in serious injury, but there really wasn't a better way at the moment. It seemed that Li Muyun's defeat was imminent.

Li Tianquan grinned maliciously, and the true energy on his blade intensified once more. With this strike, he intended to make Li Muyun bleed profusely.

"Illusion Annihilation Fist!"

Just as the blade was about to cleave Li Muyun in two, Li Muyun's figure vanished in an instant, turning into a blur.

Li Tianquan's expression changed. He had already unleashed his strike, but there was no target in front of him. In particular, he had put all his strength into this strike, leaving no room for maneuver. He could only strike the hard ground of the training platform head-on!

"boom!"

The ground was torn open with a gruesome gash. Li Tianquan himself was also in bad shape; the recoil made his hands numb and his chest feel heavy. Even so, he immediately slashed horizontally with his short sword to prevent Li Muyun from launching a sneak attack. Li Tianquan was also secretly surprised. Li Muyun was an immortal who mainly cultivated true essence techniques, so how could his speed be so fast, even faster than a Earth Profound Martial Master of the same level?

Li Muyun's white robe was already half torn in the chest. Dodging that knife attack was not easy. He didn't even have time to use the Four Directions Illusion Annihilation Fist. He could only barely use the Illusion Annihilation Fist. If it weren't for the Golden Gang Curse and Thunder Technique that increased his speed several times over, he would have lost his fighting ability after that knife attack.

Licking his lips, Li Muyun grinned helplessly. Was this the difference in raw strength? It seemed he had no choice but to resort to that one move.

Li Tianquan smiled coldly at the disheveled Li Muyun, flicked his short sword, and said, "Li Muyun, I still have one last move in my Three Slashes of Raging Wind. It is your honor to be defeated by my Three Slashes of Raging Wind."

"Your martial arts skills are not bad, but your character is lacking." Li Muyun chuckled and mocked, "You have a third strike that you haven't used yet, and I still have one move I haven't used. Let's settle this with one move!"

A ferocious look appeared on Li Tianquan's face, and his true energy suddenly rose to another level. The wind blade on his short sword surged again, and the blue true energy flowed, emitting a whistling sound. He was also swept up by the gale. Even before he made a move, his aura was already astonishing!

Meanwhile, Li Muyun had also pushed his Golden Qi Incantation and Thunder Technique to their limits. In that hellish period of arduous training, only under such extreme conditions could he possibly execute this move successfully. As Li Muyun channeled his true energy, the golden light and lightning around him became incredibly dazzling. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes; that feeling was just a hair's breadth away...

Li Tianquan, who had been confident, felt a sudden unease. The spiritual energy in the training ground was fluctuating violently, and it seemed to be intensifying. His intuition told him that he couldn't wait any longer; even if his third strike hadn't fully gathered its power, he had to strike immediately!

"You're just being pretentious, you little bastard. That's the end of it!"

The short sword surged with energy. Without hesitation, Li Tianquan took a step forward and shot out an arrow. A vortex of blades also condensed in front of the short sword, tearing towards Li Muyun like a drill!

"Superior-grade Spirit Martial Skill: Howling Divine Wind Slash!"

Where the blade tornado passed, the wind howled and the air whistled!

"coming......"

Li Muyun suddenly opened his eyes, golden light intertwined with blue-purple arcs of electricity in his eyes. He coldly uttered these two words, then waved his hand, and the Xuan Tie Needle and the Tan Hua Flying Knife came whistling into his hand. Golden and blue-purple light poured from Li Muyun's palm into the Xuan Tie Needle and the Tan Hua Flying Knife, and mysterious light appeared on both of these magical weapons.

"Four Directions Annihilated - Hundred Blades Return to Their Origin!"

As Li Muyun uttered his icy words, his figure, crackling with lightning and golden energy, instantly multiplied into four. Each of the four Li Muyun held a black iron needle and a flying dagger, both shimmering with purple and gold. Simultaneously, the four Li Muyun formed hand seals, and the black iron needle and flying dagger in each Li Muyun's hand soared into the air, bursting forth with brilliant light before transforming back into four illusory figures!

In an instant, the sky was filled with illusory needle-like blades interwoven with arcs of electricity and golden light. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth visibly converged towards these purple-gold needle-like blades. Li Muyun's gaze was icy, and his finger pointed forward with the force of a thousand pounds. His white robes danced wildly, and the countless illusory blades surged forth like ten thousand swords returning to their origin...
