Ji Yuan observed Shui Xisi keenly before he raised his eyes challengingly at her. “So where is your divine sword?”
“Hmph! I don’t use one.” She replied nonchalantly and lit a slow smile to reflect her confidence.
Ji Yuan guessed that she must be a power cultivator and he was immediately wary.
But he could not resist a chuckle, “Just don’t suddenly unsheathe your sword after you have regretted it.” He had purposely said that to prevent her from drawing her sword. When a power cultivator is in possession of a divine sword, they can often be even deadlier.
Power cultivators usually do not depend on their weapons because they can muster vast amount of profound power with their profound strength.
Unarmed combat had a huge advantage in profound power over weapons; their profound power will not be restrained and they could muster 100% of their profound power.
Most power cultivators are able to gain 200% profound power with 100% of their profound strength depending on the type of power profound art that they are executing. Saint level power cultivators are often extreme power practitioners.
Should a cultivator uses a medium like a sword, only 70% of the profound strength can be channeled through as profound power. The better the grade of a sword, the more profound power can be generated.
Should a cultivator attack with sword energies, only 40% of the profound strength can be channeled as profound power and it will weaken over a range. That is why sword energies practitioner generally do not have a great deal of advantage against the more powerful cultivators that specialize in profound power and defensive profound auras.
When a cultivator is a saint, only divine swords and powerful profound arts are the most important. Not fanciful swordplay or weak attacks. It is because a saint level cultivator often has formidable defenses and regeneration.
Ji Yuan knew that Shui Xisi was aware that he had a celestial sword but she was not showing any sign of a panic. Therefore he knew that she was unlike any of the other opponents that he had fought before.
He immediately swung his sword and two beaming reflection of light flashed forth from his sword. This was his perfect divine harmony form as two beautiful halos extended from his sword.
He was now grinning. Be prepared to be impressed by me! My profound power as you can see isn’t weak at all compared to any of your profound divine art!
Shui Xisi continued to display a nonchalantly look as though she did not seem to care. The message that she seemed to be sending was. “Can you do better than this?”
She stared coldly at him before saying, “Maybe I should not call you Li Yuan. You are that Sword Saint Ji Yuan?”
Ji Yuan nodded with a broad grin. “Indeed.” So you are now scared of me?
“So you are the new Dark Lord of the Spirit Blue Moon Sect that everyone is recently talking about.” Shui Xisi hummed coldly as she displayed a disdainful gaze upon Ji Yuan at the same time.
Ji Yuan chuckled softly. “Indeed I am that Ji Yuan.”
“You look horribly ugly without your beard.” Shui Xisi smirked coldly.
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
“You ugly old woman!” Ji Yuan shouted back immediately. He had been provoked for sure.
“Oh no…” Ling Feiyue, Xue Qianxue and Little Princess were gasping softly. He just broke a taboo. Never called a high level cultivator an ugly old woman even if she is. This will surely provoke her.
The Venerable Palace Mistress of the Water Melody Palace is a cultivation senior and she may not be so ruthless in enemy’s territory. After all she may be only here to teach Ji Yuan a lesson for some slights and that was why she had come alone. It is considered unwise to provoke unnecessary and wiser to maintain some politeness in case things go south all of a sudden.
But Ji Yuan had now clearly provoked her!
“Ugly beardless milk boy!”
“Ugly old woman!!! Old ugly hag!”
Ji Yuan and Shui Xisi traded insults even as they closed in onto each other.
Ji Yuan was on high alert as he positioned his sword carefully in an attack position even as he noted that Shui Xisi’s profound animus seemed to be extremely strong.
As he walked into his position, he could not resist swinging his sword to fire a burst of devastating sword wave toward her direction. This was a perfect sword energy that sliced through the ground in a straight line like a wall of force toward his opponent.
In a blink of an eye, the wall of sword energies wave was already upon his target!
Shui Xisi did not even bother to evade but had raised her fingers to part his sword wave. “What? Is that all you can manage?”
Ji Yuan: …
He was alarmed. Her profound power had exceeded his sword wave profound power in order to part his sword energies in this manner.
“What? Are you an old man already?” Shui Xisi continued to taunt at him.
Ji Yuan: …
“This is only an assessment attack. It doesn’t mean anything.” He muttered.
Shui Xisi smirked. “Your sword energies attacks are too weak to affect me. Why don’t we trade blows directly instead of fighting like a pussy?”
Pussy?!!
Ji Yuan cursed silently. This old hag is really getting on my nerves…
Immediately he had confronted her with his sword while Shui Xisi retaliated against him with her fingers.
In that instant the entire platform was filled with their profound energies as sword and fingers clashed against each other.
A bright golden aura like a phoenix had spread from Shui Xisi’s profound animus as she attacked Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan was startled as he tried to attack her from all sides but was consistently beaten back. “This is her spirit entity? It is a divine phoenix spirit entity. No wonder she is so confident…”
Shui Xisi was now chasing after Ji Yuan as she attacked furiously against him while Ji Yuan was playing the slow game of trying to exhaust her profound strength.
“Ji Yuan, you are a saint level cultivator and you don’t even have a spirit entity yet? What a joke!” she taunted him.
Ji Yuan shouted back angrily, “Haha! Old hag! I do have a spirit entity but I’m afraid that if I use my spirit entity, you will be scared out of your wits!”
Xiang Li shouted angrily too in his soul sea, “Yea! If I come out then you will surely shit in your panties!”
Ji Yuan quickly said to Xiang Li, “Erm, please don’t say anything like this and please let me focus on my duel. You’re completely useless and we both know it…”
