The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 1136 Ji Yuan vs. Number 2 (2)

Ji Yuan continued to say coldly to Number 2, "I have only have one thing to ask from you. Were you there when the Saintess Fang Zhenfei had died? And did you dirty your hands by killing her?"

Number 2 Murong Yue laughed eerily, "I can feel your killing intentions… but do you think that your killing intentions… are enough to kill me? Let me tell you…"

Then she started to hiss with more mocking laughter, "Saintess… Fang Zhenfei… she is such a slut when she had died… she got toyed by all the men in the Evil Cultivation Palace… Hahaha… and I was there… when I had stripped her naked for the men…" 

When Ji Yuan had heard her, he exploded with anger as he used all his profound strength to attack her.

All his profound strength was imbued into his profound attack as he charged at Number 2; there were no profound arts and no sword techniques but only his pure rage.

Ji Yuan's true divinity sword exploded like a pillar of black profound flames as he channeled all his profound power into attacking Number 2 Murong Yue. 

Number 2 Murong Yue had also released her profound might in retaliation; she was purposely enraging Ji Yuan so that he would be consumed by his own anger and hence, used up his profound strength even faster.

"Where is that sword art that you used on the Evil Cultivation Palace? Don't tell me that you have already exhausted your profound strength when you are using that?" 

She could naturally see that Ji Yuan was already been through several battles before her. 

While her immortal body was far stronger than this Ji Yuan and had also more profound strength, she just could not understand why this Ji Yuan still have so much profound strength. 

Both their profound energies exploded at the same time and started to consume their profound auras rapidly.

Ji Yuan's sword aura was the first to be extinguished in the aftermath of their clashes.

Number 2 had expected Ji Yuan to collapse first because he lacked the rapid resilient and regeneration of the metamorphosis beings. 

Ji Yuan had suddenly displayed a half-step emperor sword in his left hand and at the same time, Ji Yuan forced himself to muster more of his profound energies and he suddenly displayed his Grand Cross profound attack.

"Life force energies sword?!"

There was a flash of profound light as Ji Yuan had suddenly cut through the divine sword of Number 2 and two crosses appeared in the thick armor of her body.

This profound attack exploded brilliant even behind Number 2, leaving the shape of a cross behind the cliffs that were behind her. 

Number 2 was then sent flying and crashing onto the mountain walls as Ji Yuan profound power had exceed her profound power at this instant.

There was actually a crack in Number 2's body armor and it did not regenerate.

However, Number 2 was soon standing and had displayed several waves of her sword energies as she sent Ji Yuan to fly backward with bloody wounds.

Although Ji Yuan was in a daze now but he saw a glimmer of hope; his Grand Cross had actually damaged Number 2. This means that life force energies attack is the nemesis of the regeneration ability of the metamorphosis being.

Ji Yuan tried to stand up again to fight Number 2 but Number 2 had already flashed to him and had delivered a powerful profound cut at him, causing him to be flung and exploded into the mountain walls! 

"This time, you will surely be dead!"

All of a sudden, a beam of black light had fired from Ji Yuan's true divinity sword and completely enveloped Number 2 Murong Yue. 

This was Ji Yuan's Dividing One Sword and he had used his last remaining strength to execute it.

Number 2 Murong Yue roared with burning rage as she sacrificed her bulky left arm which got imploded even as she was flung away.

The battle was not considered long but it had exhausted Ji Yuan as he lay flattened into the walls of the mountains. 

His opponent was a superior immortal of the 9th peak realm cultivation and not just an ordinary 9th realm immortal.

Every time he had struck blows with her, his very own profound strength would also be consumed. 

Ji Yuan weakly muttered, "So this is the difference between a half-immortal and a true immortal? Why is this Number 2 so strong…"

At the same time, Number 2 Murong Yue was in shock why this Ji Yuan was so strong. If she had not taken the metamorphosis core and gained this new body, she would have been killed by this Ji Yuan instead! 

How could a low tier 9th realm upper half-immortal be stronger than a peaked 9th realm demonic cultivator?!

Number 2 laughed jovially all of a sudden when she had picked herself up. 

It was because she had suddenly spotted Ji Yuan holed into the mountain walls and he was struggling to pick himself up.

But he had lost all his profound strength and he was even forced to drop both of his divine swords so that he could use all his remaining profound strength to pick himself up.

Number 2 Murong Yue had won this battle at the cost of her arm but this was of no consequence to her as she could regenerate her arm soon.

Once again Number 2 renewed her profound aura with her profound strength as she raised her divine sword.

This time, she would kill this Ji Yuan once and for all and obtained his true divinity sword!

Ji Yuan of course was able to sense that Number 2 was displaying her profound art against him and in less than 3 blinks of an eye, she would be flashing next to him.

As he shouted with a furious look, he had begun to burn his life force energies, "Jiajia! Your death shall not be in vain! I shall take vengeance for you!!!"

A gentle voice was suddenly heard in his ears and all of a sudden, the time seemed to have been frozen in place.

"Ji Yuan."

It was the gentle voice of Xia Jiajia as she said gently in his ears, "Do not explode your cultivation core yet. Your battle is not over."

Ji Yuan was in tears, "Jiajia, is that really you? I am going to see you soon…"

Jiajia said gently to him, "Yes, it is me. So, you have finally known of my death. I am so sorry that I am unable to keep my promise to you."

Ji Yuan lamented loudly, "I am the one that is so sorry to you. I am unable to save you from your woeful fate. This is all my fault…"

Jiajia said gently to him, "She lies to you. I've exploded my cultivation core during my fight with the Great Demon God. She lies to you so that she could confuse your dao heart."

"This is all a lie?" Ji Yuan stammered.

When he had heard what had happened to his Jiajia, he was so moved by anger that he just wanted to hack Number 2 into pieces.

"That's right. She can read your profound aura easily when you are enraged." 

Ji Yuan said bitterly, "Does it matter now? I am spent. If I am in my peak then I can still be able to win her. Losing is only a matter of time in my current condition. Jiajia, I will come and join you…"

"Ji Yuan, you can still fight. There is still a little strength in you."

Ji Yuan bitterly said, "What is the point? I can't see you anymore."

Jiajia said gently, "If you compose your willpower to fight, we will still see each other again. This, I promise you."

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "I can still see you again, Jiajia? Is it really possible?'

Jiajia said gently, "Aren't you hearing my voice now?"

"This isn't a hallucination?"

Jiajia smiled gently, "I am always with you, Ji Yuan. Believe me."

Ji Yuan asked, "But how do I see you again? How do I know that this isn't a hallucination?"

Jiajia said melancholy, "I remember the song that you wrote for me while you are in Spirit Divine Realm…"

Then she smiled gently, "Xu Yifei is now in the Celestial Realm. This is proof that I will keep my promise to you."

Ji Yuan was startled, "Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei is in the Celestial Realm?"

"If you see her, then you know that this isn't a dream. Stand up and fight, Ji Yuan."

Ji Yuan had suddenly awakened from his senses and he could suddenly hear Xiang Li and Anyang crying in his inner spiritual sea.

He did not hear them when he had gone berserk earlier.

"Xiang Li, Anyang. I am sorry…"

Xiang Li was delighted to hear Ji Yuan again, "Wuwuwu. Big Brother, you can finally hear us now."

Anyang was also delighted, "My lord, you can finally hear us now."

Even Little Yui and Aura were delighted too.

Ji Yuan said woefully, "This is the first time that I still have so much spiritual energies in my inner spiritual sea even as I expended my profound strength. Can I still fight?"

Anyang and Xiang Li did not reply to him as they materialized outside of Ji Yuan.

The two of them transformed into two astonishing grown up heavenly maidens before transforming themselves into two beams of light. 

In Ji Yuan's hands, were his two emperor-step divine swords again. 

Rather to say that it was his physical swords, it was actually his spiritual swords. 

As soon as Number 2 got close to Ji Yuan, Ji Yuan had suddenly picked himself up again and in his hands were his two spiritual swords as he unleashed his grand cross upon Number 2. 

Instead of using his life force energies to explode his cultivation core, Ji Yuan had used his life force energies to channel his grand cross profound art again.

Because his two emperor-step divine swords were spiritual swords, he directly bypassed Number 2's divine sword and exploded his grand cross on her injured chest again.

Number 2 was shocked that her formidable defenses were being bypassed by Ji Yuan that she quickly activated her life saving talisman to escape. 

With a brilliant flare of light, Ji Yuan also divided Number 2's body, causing her to explode in multiple shockwaves in all directions.

Unknown to Ji Yuan, Number 2 had already escaped with her cultivation core intact and what was being destroyed were but her metamorphosis exoskeleton armor. 

Ji Yuan had also made a crash landing on the ground and the two spiritual emperor-step divine swords had also disappeared.

He was astonished at what had happened.

It was because this was the very first time that he had seen Anyang and Xiang Li in a mature body and they were astonishing beautiful.

He could not resist asking; What is that just now?

Anyang answered with a confused look as well: We don't know either. Just now, I think I have heard the voice of the Great Beyond Goddess talking to us and then she has granted us the spiritual powers of the Golden Natal Divine Pearl so we have transformed into your spirit swords instead.

Xiang Li was giggling: It is so fun. I wish that I can do this again.

Ji Yuan asked with a perplexed look, "The Great Beyond Goddess? Are you sure?"

Aura answered firmly: This is really… the Great Beyond Goddess! She says she can't communicate with me anymore as we have consumed too much of the spiritual energies in the Golden Natal Divine Pearl. Wuwuwu.

Ji Yuan did not take Aura seriously and he was sighing woefully instead: I have heard my Jiajia. You have heard the Great Beyond Goddess. Maybe this is a mass hallucination…

And then Ji Yuan was weeping aloud on the ground, "Jiajia… I have avenged you. I swear that I will destroy the Evil Cultivation Palace for you…"

There was no one around Ji Yuan when he had said that because his battle with Number 2 had turned the entire vicinity into a dead zone, killing all the cultivators that were in the vicinity; the profound shockwaves of the two 9th realm cultivators were too much for most cultivators to bear.
