The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 551 Bliss City Arena Final Trial (21)

As Ji Yuan mustered all his strength to meet Immortal Gu Bugu face to face, he was saying softly to his old master, "Old man, you are too old! If you want me to win this battle then you have better honored... what you have told me, about that arranged marriage of yours!"

The short old man said weakly, "I will! Go fight your best and don't die on me!"

He was sighing: You are buying time for me to recover my profound strength, ain't you? Because I am the real MC and not you?

Although Ji Yuan's voice was very soft but the Smiling Divine Maiden was suddenly looking very flustered: Arranged marriage? Us?

Ji Yuan was now shouting loudly to Gu Bugu, "It seems that you are not a coward after all for daring to fight with your grand daddy! I am Great Saint Ji Yuan and I'm hailed from the Desolate Celestial Fraternity!"

Immortal Gu Bugu smirked coldly, "This fight will soon end in a few minutes. Say whatever you want. I am now called Immortal Gu Bugu and you don't have to know where I have come from because I am not from around your Celestial Realm."

Then he pointed his scaly finger at Ji Yuan, "There is only one sword art that you got, that can work against me and that is your miracle sword art. All your other profound sword art is simply too weak to hurt me."

Ji Yuan nodded slowly as he displayed his two sword spirits that were on his forearms before lifting up the saint-step divine sword Anyang, "That's right. You must have seen my battle imagery then."

Immortal Gu Bugu smirked, "This is indeed right. And your intention is to attack me with all the powers of your two sword spirits with just a single hit of your saintly divine sword. However, the difference between Lin Antian and me is that your miracle sword art won't be able to stun me and give you the chance to charge up another miracle sword art at close melee. Also…"

He was suddenly making loud chuckles, "Also I know that you have already charged up your profound energies to make your one and only stance against me. Therefore, this is actually your one and only chance against me."

Ji Yuan hummed coldly, "I won't deny this because this is my plan."

Immortal Gu Bugu smiled coldly, "I am willing to give you this one last chance before I retaliated against you. Does this fulfill your sense of martial honor now?"

Ji Yuan displayed a cold frown, "I am expecting something better from a superior being to give me a free 3 strokes head start."

When the Lovely Empress had heard Ji Yuan, she was shaking her head as she muttered softly: He won't give you any 3 free strokes. Ji Yuan you are hopeless. At this time, you're still hoping for some free of charge free strikes against him. He is a most despicable man… "

"Alright. I won't retaliate 3 times against you. Muhahaha!" Immortal Bugu was heard laughing nonstop.

The Lovely Empress: …

I'll take back my words. You guys are all so cheap…

Ji Yuan raised his thumb up, "Now we can truly fight now."

The short old man was thinking: Ji Yuan, your sacrifice won't be in vain. Immediately after your final strike, I will attack him...I will regain enough of my profound strength for some of my most powerful profound arts. Your aim is to get him to the ground, right? I am truly ashamed to let a junior like you to be a tank first to weaken my opponent for me…"

Immortal Gu Bugu was proud that even his opponent was giving him a thumb up and he was laughing jovially. In front of the Smiling Divine Maiden and the Lovely Empress, he felt that he got a lot of face.

Ji Yuan shouted, "I am ready to attack! Be ready!"

Immortal Gu Bugu was thinking: He is stupid. He even warning me that he is attacking. Are all of the honorable celestials as stupid as him?

Ji Yuan had suddenly attacked with all his profound might as he flashed upon Gu Bugu and his Anyang saintly divine sword, empowered with two of his sword spirits that were further enhanced by Xiang Li for an additional of 20%.

Ji Yuan had told Xiang Li: Today is our life and death battle, therefore no slacking today!

Then he told Anyang: You too, Anyang!

And that was why today Xiang Li was really a hardworking spirit entity! If her big brother dies, she will become a homeless sword spirit entity like Anyang.

Ji Yuan had actually shifted them to his saintly divine swords because he did not want them to die when he had died. He had told them instead, I need rooms in my cultivation core for my sword spirits, not weak spirit entities like the two of you and you are taking up my spirit animus slots!

However, Xiang Li and Anyang were both spirit entities and they could sense Ji Yuan's great love for them despite what he was saying to them.

In the meantime, as soon as Ji Yuan used his miracle sword art to attack Gu Bugu but the moment that his streak of white light touched the dark profound animus of Gu Bugu, his profound attack was evaded and he had wasted his profound strength to execute the attack.

A column of white light exploded like a brilliant flare of white nova

Gu Bugu had flashed away as he watched the white streak of light expanded like a ballooning nova in front of him, "Usually no one can evade this when you are able to use it at close melee. It is because its range of destruction is too big. However, I am different. I am a superior being. So where is your second stroke?"

Ji Yuan grinned as he had suddenly taken out a heaven-step divine sword that he had looted previously. It was as though he had already expected for Gu Bugu to evade his first attack. So while Gu Bugu had flashed out of his way, Ji Yuan was already preparing for his real second profound attack.

Gu Bugu did not know why Ji Yuan was grinning as he flashed to a new location.

But all of a sudden Ji Yuan had jumped up high in the air and he had crossed his two divine swords into his most powerful profound art the Grand Cross!

This Grand Cross was 3 times more powerful than a normal miracle sword art. The power of this Grand Cross was not just its profound power but the white streak of light on Ji Yuan's divine sword was suddenly extended more than 30m each, making evasion almost impossible.

Gu Bugu gasped aloud as he raised both his hands to shield himself from this powerful profound attack and even his leathery wings were folded defensively in front but still he had received such a huge impact that he was flung away with a thunderous impact on the ground that a large pit was instantly created.

This Ji Yuan is too dangerous! No more free attacks for him!

At the instant that Ji Yuan's Grand Cross had struck Gu Bugu, his heaven-step divine sword had broken into halves as it was not able to withstand the profound power of his miraculous sword art.

Ji Yuan was heard saying, "Who say that I need my demonic cherubim spirit animus to use two divine swords… I can just use a weaker divine sword with my saintly divine sword for my Grand Cross attack…"

The Smiling Divine Maiden was startled because Ji Yuan had once told her about this Grand Cross super miracle sword art of his but he was saying that he needed two saintly divine swords to use so therefore he needed his 9th rank demonic cherubim spirit animus to use it.

He lies to me?!

Immortal Gu Bugu was really angry now as he slowly picked himself up with all his profound strength as he trembled weakly from the effects of the Grand Cross's attack.

Ji Yuan's powerful profound attack naturally could not kill him and had only nullified his profound aura for a short period of time. In this arena trial, the spirit animus of the Dark Sol Dragon would never really die.

He had only sustained some minor injuries which would heal very soon.

The power disparity between them was just too vast to be overcome!

All of a sudden Gu Bugu was startled to see that Ji Yuan was high up in the sky above him and he had displayed his demonic cherubim spirt animus which had caused his cultivation level to reach the 8th middle tier rank.

Ji Yuan roared in the loud howling winds, "Now this is so much better!"

He was of course referring to the great pains in his body that had lessened considerably, the increased flow of his profound energies and his superb recovery when his cultivation realm had become the 8th cultivation realm.

The Smiling Divine Maiden and the Lovely Empress were both startled; he still has the spiritual force in his inner cultivation sea to summon his spirit animus?!

Actually the short old man had already used his divine sense to probe Ji Yuan's battle with Lin Antian and Gu Sangu so he knew that Ji Yuan had a special spirit animus. However, he did not know about Ji Yuan's special profound attack, the Grand Cross which he had recently invented before he had come to the Wonderland of the Ecstasy Island.

Actually, Ji Yuan had meditated for 12 hours before he entered the third arena trial. Coupled with the profound pill that the Lovely Empress and his own speedy recovery, he had already more or less regained his entire profound strength.

And of course much of his enduring strength had also come from the promise of an arranged marriage and also because he hated being green by Gu Bugu.

Ji Yuan may not have a powerful profound aura when compared to the other cultivators of the same level but he was really speedy when it comes to his recovery, especially more so under the special mystical laws of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.

"Now this is so much, so much better!"

Ji Yuan had repeated himself that he was feeling much better now; it was because he had purposely injured himself so that he could save as much precious spirit force as possible to use his demonic cherubim after learning about its weakness from the Smiling Divine Maiden.

The solution was not to use his spirit animus at the very start if he could not evade a powerful attack but save it until the very last. That was why Ji Yuan had taken a gamble not to tank without his profound animus.

At this moment Ji Yuan already got his two saintly divine swords into the position of his Grand Cross ultimate miracle sword art.

Before Gu Bugu could even know what was happening, the entire heavens above him were lit by a bright white cross that exploded directly on the spaces above and on him; it was even bigger and more powerful than the first Grand Cross that was being used.

The first time that Ji Yuan had used his Grand Cross technique, it had a x5 profound power. But with Xiang Li and Anyang working together with all their profound strength, this Grand Cross actually had a x7 profound power, which was x4 times more powerful than the first Grand Cross.

Ji Yuan had used his time very well; when Gu Bugu was thrown on the ground, he had already summoned his demonic cherubim spirit animus and readied the profound attack of his Grand Cross.

When Gu Bugu had died on the spot, he really could not believe it as he was ripped apart by Ji Yuan.

The short old man, the Lovely Empress and the Smiling Divine Empress really could not believe their eyes as they stared at the scene; Ji Yuan had actually killed Gu Bugu!

The Lovely Empress was flushing shyly as she looked at Ji Yuan; she had wanted Ji Yuan to copulate with her but she did not know that he still had so much profound strength…

The Smiling Divine Maiden was also smiling weakly, "It's no wonder that he is someone that my master wants to kill…"

She had suddenly remembered that Ji Yuan had grievously injured her master on his belly...

The short old man was muttering, "This little rascal. Never be fooled by him and never, never gives him any free strokes or he will use it against you."

But he quickly said, "He is indeed worthy to be called a sword saint and my son-in-law!"

Dream Mist on the other hand was not surprised as she said casually to herself: I did say that he has two trump cards..."

As she had said that, there was a wry smile on her beautiful countenance.
