Next, Li Mu won eight consecutive battles, achieving ten consecutive victories with very little consumption, almost without pause, and directly challenged the 100th floor arena master of the Sword Tower in one go.
Li Mu's figure quickly appeared in the 100th floor Sword Tower Space, where a majestic arena stood in the center, emitting a strong killing Aura.
In the center of the arena, a burly Sword Cultivator stood quietly, he was the arena master of this floor, his hands firmly holding a Qingfeng Heavy Sword, majestic and imposing, his entire body exuding an incomparably sharp Aura, even more striking was that he carried five sword scabbards on his back, each emitting a faint Sword Qi, as if sharp swords could fly out at any moment.
This arena master's gaze was as cold as ice, his Aura like a rainbow, his Soul Transformation Late Stage cultivation Realm was fully displayed, making people feel a strong sense of oppression, it seemed he was also a master proficient in sword formations, and his understanding of the Sword Dao had reached an extremely high Realm.
Compared to the ten opponents Li Mu had fought before, this arena master's Aura was clearly superior, he stood there like a majestic mountain, giving people a sense of heavy and unshakeable Aura.
Li Mu slowly flew down, landing lightly on the arena, standing in front of his opponent, and immediately saluted with his sword, saying: "Li Mu of Seven Gods Peak, please enlighten me!"
"Lü Liang of Heaven Sword Peak!" The Sword Cultivator opposite returned a sword salute, looked at Li Mu, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you want to rest for a while?"
The opponent seemed unwilling to take advantage of Li Mu, seeking a fair fight.
Li Mu smiled slightly and shook his head: "No need, I can start at any time, please!"
In the previous ten battles, Li Mu only used fifty percent of his strength, and the battle process was not difficult, overall it didn't take much time, and after each battle, a slight circulation of his True Essence would replenish the consumption, not affecting Li Mu's subsequent battles.
After speaking, Li Mu's expression was calm, he gently raised his right hand, and with his gesture, the nine storage spiritual pearl suddenly glowed brightly, followed by seven fifth-order gold-element spiritual swords appearing out of thin air, rapidly circling around Li Mu's body, each spiritual sword emitting a brilliant golden spiritual light, with complex golden sharp artifact patterns flowing on the sword body, sword gleams flashed, and a series of clear sword cries echoed above the arena, causing a sense of trepidation.
Li Mu looked at his opponent indifferently, forming a sword seal and assuming a battle stance.
Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Lü Liang's eyes, he originally thought that the sword formations he mastered were already quite advanced, but he didn't expect that the opponent was also a master of sword formations, capable of simultaneously controlling seven spiritual swords, which not only required extremely high Sword Dao cultivation, but also extremely exquisite control techniques over spiritual power.
Lü Liang couldn't help but have a higher evaluation of Li Mu's strength, and at the same time, he looked forward to the next battle even more.
"You also use sword formations, that's great! This way I can let loose!" Lü Liang looked at Li Mu with delight, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
As soon as his voice fell, Lü Liang slightly performed a technique with his back, and the five sword scabbards opened simultaneously, with a "swish" sound, twenty-five small and exquisite green small swords flew out one after another, like a group of cheerful elves, dancing in the air.
Lü Liang held the Qingfeng Heavy Sword and gently waved it, and those green small swords, as if commanded, quickly arranged themselves into a formation.
Lü Liang looked at Li Mu and whispered: "Try my Illusionary Extension Sword Formation!"
As Lü Liang's voice fell, the twenty-five green small swords seemed to have received orders, they moved like a flexible school of fish, drawing graceful arcs in the air, rapidly charging towards Li Mu, each small sword emitting a faint green light, pointing its sword at Li Mu, exuding an incomparably sharp Aura, as if to pierce him with ten thousand swords.
Facing this swift attack, Li Mu did not show the slightest panic, he smiled slightly, his hands quickly formed seals, and the spiritual power in his body surged out like a tide, pouring into the seven gold-element spiritual swords around him, quickly forming a Seven Stars Sword Formation.
Once the Seven Stars Sword Formation was formed, it seemed to be blessed with a mysterious power. The seven spiritual swords rapidly shuttled around Li Mu, sometimes separating, sometimes converging, like seven brilliant stars twinkling in the night sky.
Seven Stars Protecting the Moon!
The seven gold-element spiritual swords rapidly shuttled, forming dense sword nets, firmly protecting Li Mu within them.
"Clang, clang, clang..." As the green small swords and gold-element spiritual swords collided, a series of crisp metallic clashing sounds erupted in the air, the sounds of sword strikes continuously echoed above the arena, grand and incomparably fierce.
For a time, Sword Qi crisscrossed and sword light flickered on the arena, and the two men's sword formations fiercely collided in the air.
Under the Seven Stars Protecting the Moon, a golden sword net formed around Li Mu, and the Illusionary Extension Sword Formation's offensive could not achieve success for a long time.
Seeing this, Lü Liang was not surprised but delighted, and praised loudly with a laugh: "Good, good, the defense is excellent, now try my True Dragon Sword Formation!"
As his voice fell, Lü Liang threw out the Qingfeng Heavy Sword in his hand, and the twenty-five incomparably swift green small swords suddenly trembled, releasing an even more dazzling light, they all gathered towards the Qingfeng Heavy Sword, circling and dancing, gradually converging into a huge sword formation, shaped like a coiled Azure Dragon, with a majestic Aura.
The "Azure Dragon" sword formation let out a deafening Dragon roar, shaking the entire Sword Tower Space uncontrollably, like a True Dragon emerging from the sea, unstoppable, descending from the sky, charging directly at Li Mu, the Azure Dragon opened its mouth and spewed out sharp Sword Qi.
Facing the overwhelming sword momentum of the True Dragon Sword Formation, Li Mu remained calm, his hands formed sword seals even faster, and the spiritual power in his body surged into the seven gold-element spiritual swords like a torrent.
Under Li Mu's control, the seven gold-element spiritual swords seemed to have come to life, beginning to dance in a more complex and mysterious trajectory.
The next moment, the Seven Stars Sword Formation, under Li Mu's control, rapidly shifted, the seven gold-element spiritual swords no longer simply shuttled and converged, but followed some ancient star trajectory, flying in a unique path, they drew golden trajectories in the air, like seven brilliant stars connected in a line in the night sky, dazzling.
"Seven Stars Aligned!" Li Mu shouted in a low voice, and as his voice fell, the seven gold-element spiritual swords suddenly condensed into a dazzling golden light, soaring into the sky, colliding with the True Dragon Sword Formation.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the entire arena seemed to tremble at this moment, golden light and the Azure Dragon sword formation fiercely collided in the air, erupting in brilliant light, like two stars exploding in the air.
A strong shockwave and Sword Qi spread in all directions, impacting the arena, but amidst this powerful shockwave, Li Mu remained motionless, his eyes fixed on the True Dragon Sword Formation in front of him, his hands constantly forming seals, controlling the Seven Stars Sword Formation to confront the True Dragon Sword Formation.
As time passed, the power of the True Dragon Sword Formation gradually weakened, while the Seven Stars Sword Formation, under Li Mu's control, became stronger with each passing moment, its golden light brilliant, as if to illuminate the entire arena.
Finally, with a deafening roar, the True Dragon Sword Formation completely collapsed, transforming into streaks of green Sword Qi that dissipated in the air, like a splendid fireworks display, yet with a hint of tragedy and unwillingness. At the same time, Li Mu's Seven Stars Sword Formation remained completely intact, the seven gold-element spiritual swords, having completed their mission, like loyal companions, flew to Li Mu's side, circling around him, emitting dazzling golden spiritual light, like seven brilliant stars twinkling in the night sky.
"Good! Good! Truly exhilarating!" Lü Liang retrieved his Qingfeng Heavy Sword, shouting joyfully, his voice filled with excitement and thrill. However, when he looked at Li Mu again, his eyes revealed unprecedented solemnity, Li Mu's strength far exceeded his imagination, this battle was dangerous.
"Bring out whatever other moves you have!" Li Mu smiled slightly, looking at Lü Liang and gesturing.
Lü Liang took a deep breath, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, knowing that if he didn't use his true skills, it would be difficult to shake the opponent.
"Very good, try this move of mine: Second Wood Thousand Execution Formation." Lü Liang was provoked by Li Mu's attitude and roared in a low voice.
As his voice fell, the surrounding space suddenly fluctuated, and then, from the Qingfeng Heavy Sword in Lü Liang's hand, endless wood-element spiritual power suddenly surged out, these spiritual powers rapidly condensed into countless tiny Sword Qi, emerging like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Soon, these Sword Qi gathered into a dense sword forest, each Sword Qi emitting a faint green light, exuding a sharp Aura, these Sword Qi circled and danced in the air, as if they had come to life, condensing into numerous 'Lü Liang' Clones, they held swords and attacked Li Mu from all directions, as for Lü Liang's main body, he also disappeared from his original spot.
Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Mu's eyes, and he immediately felt the extraordinary nature of this Second Wood Thousand Execution Formation.
As thousands of Lü Liang Clones attacked with swords, Li Mu controlled the Seven Stars Sword Formation for defense, golden sword light and green Sword Qi fiercely collided in the air, emitting deafening metallic clashing sounds.
However, the Second Wood Thousand Execution Formation controlled by Lü Liang was extraordinarily powerful, the Clones blurred the line between real and fake, endless and constantly surging from all directions, although Li Mu's Seven Stars Sword Formation's defense was strong, it began to show signs of fatigue under long-term consumption, moreover, Lü Liang's main body was hidden somewhere unknown, and he had to constantly guard against his close-range surprise attacks.
Suddenly, Lü Liang's main body, under the cover of the Clone's attack, broke through the Seven Stars Protecting the Moon in one fell swoop, getting close.
Li Mu's pupils constricted, he didn't expect Lü Liang to actually find an opportunity to Breakthrough the Seven Stars Sword Formation, this strength and insight were indeed not to be underestimated.
Li Mu's figure flickered, he used the Instant Wheel Technique from the Time-Space Wheel Sutra - Instant Wheel Chapter, his figure instantly disappeared from his original spot, appearing dozens of feet away, looking at Lü Liang with a mix of surprise and joy, his eyes revealing an Epiphany.
Having experienced Lü Liang's Second Wood Thousand Execution Sword Formation, Li Mu gained a lot, and couldn't help but ponder his own sword formations, combining them with the Five Elements Great Escape Technique, Yin Yang Five Elements Scripture, and Time-Space Wheel Sutra, it seemed he could create many types of sword formations.
Lü Liang's determined attack this time missed, as if he had suffered a major blow, a hint of unbelievable surprise flashed in his eyes, he stared intently at Li Mu, feeling an unprecedented difficulty.
He originally thought that with the power of the Second Wood Thousand Execution Formation, it would be enough to force Li Mu into a desperate situation, however, the situation did not develop that way. This opponent was much more troublesome than he imagined, not only was his swordsmanship superb, but he also mastered such miraculous evasion techniques, making Lü Liang somewhat at a loss.
A strong sense of unwillingness surged in Lü Liang's heart, he didn't believe he would lose to an unknown guy, he tightly gripped the Qingfeng Heavy Sword, his eyes sparkling with cold light.
"The Sword Tower Space is only so big, let's see how long you can hide," Lü Liang said to Li Mu with a resentful voice, his eyes flashing with cold light.
Immediately, Lü Liang's figure flickered, and the Yi Wood Clone condensed again, this time, he condensed nearly a thousand Clones, each holding a Qingfeng Heavy Sword, aggressively charging towards Li Mu, the entire Sword Tower Space seemed to be filled with these Clones, leaving Li Mu nowhere to hide.
As Lü Liang's True Essence continuously poured out, the scope covered by the Second Wood Thousand Execution Sword Formation grew larger and larger, gradually covering the entire Sword Tower Space, green Sword Qi crisscrossed, forming a dense sword net, firmly locking Li Mu within it.
However, Li Mu remained calm and unhurried, relying on the Instant Wheel Technique of the Time-Space Wheel Sutra, he quickly dodged and disappeared before Lü Liang's Qingfeng Heavy Sword attacks could reach him, each attack narrowly grazing past him, making Lü Liang grit his teeth in anger.
With the Instant Wheel Technique, Li Mu was already in an invincible position, but he did not choose to directly defeat Lü Liang, but continued to entangle with him.
Li Mu wanted to see what astonishing methods Lü Liang could still use after failing to attack for a long time.
Lü Liang's attacks missed again and again, his face became increasingly gloomy, and he roared in question at Li Mu: "Are you a coward, only knowing how to hide?!"
However, Li Mu merely smiled faintly, not falling for Lü Liang's provocation, instead, he smiled and urged: "What other methods do you have? Show them! Otherwise, your True Essence probably won't last much longer! This sword formation must consume a lot of True Essence."
Upon hearing this, a hint of anger flashed in Lü Liang's eyes, but he forcibly suppressed it, remaining silent, burying his head and continuing to attack Li Mu, but in his heart, he was secretly anxious, pondering strategies.
Just as Li Mu said, Lü Liang indeed felt a huge consumption of True Essence at this moment, although the Second Wood Thousand Execution Sword Formation was amazingly powerful, each activation required a large amount of True Essence, Lü Liang knew he couldn't maintain this full-power state for long.
Lü Liang took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger, and calmly thought about countermeasures, if he couldn't find Li Mu's weakness soon, after half an hour, his True Essence would probably be exhausted, and he would be defeated.
Lü Liang adjusted his state while thinking about how to restrict Li Mu's movements, and then launch a fatal attack, the opponent's movement technique was simply too bizarre, being able to disappear from his original spot at any time, which made him at a loss.
Li Mu, on the other hand, was calm and unhurried, knowing that Lü Liang would not easily admit defeat, and should still have a trump card, therefore, he silently observed Lü Liang's movements and changes in Aura, preparing to deal with his next killer move.
As Lü Liang continuously cast the Second Wood Thousand Execution Sword Formation, unknowingly, the entire arena and Sword Tower Space became filled with a large amount of Yi Wood Sword Qi, as if he intended it. (End of this chapter)
