The Romantic Cultivator

As Ji Yuan walked with the Lovely Empress, he asked her curiously. "You don't seem to be too worried for the Smiling Divine Maiden? That Gu Sangu is truly terrifying."

The Lovely Empress said unhappily, "You seem to be anxious for her well-being?"

Ji Yuan frowned, "We have left her to fight Gu Sangu alone. Shouldn't you show a little concern for your sister?"

The Lovely Empress rolled her delightful golden eyes before answering nonchalantly, "Sister Chu Lixue is stronger than you think she is. She is the first direct protégé of the Death God Mingwang while Sister Zhi Jiugong is the second. I am the third and also the youngest. Before you have joined the fight, we had already been fighting for the past 1 hour. As my Sister Chu Lixue is protecting me, she is unable to display her profound arts to her fullest potential. But one to one even though she isn't as strong as Gu Sangu, her speed and reflexes are better than him. Even if she cannot defeat him, he won't be able to defeat her too especially when that Lin Antian isn't around now."

Ji Yuan nodded slowly, "I see now."

All of a sudden Ji Yuan had suddenly patted the Lovely Empress on her right shoulder, as he whispered. "Be quiet."

Before the Lovely Empress could ask him why, she had heard Lin Antian.

Lin Antian was shouting loudly, "Ji Yuan! Lovely Empress! Where are you? I know that you are around here! I've heard the voice of the Lovely Empress just now!"

The Lovely Empress muttered softly, "He sure has sharp ears…"

"He sure has..." Just as Ji Yuan was also commenting the same, the Lovely Empress had suddenly popped in a fifth rank profound pill for profound strength recovery into Ji Yuan's mouth.

"What did you feed me?" Ji Yuan growled as he looked at her.

The Lovely Empress giggled as she slapped her right fingers on his face, "Swallow it! It is just a free of charge fifth rank profound pill for your profound strength. Hmph! I won't charge you for this."

Ji Yuan frowned but he did not hesitate to swallow the pill, "Well, thank you…"

"But actually this may be poisonous. So you may consider purging it out before it is too late." Interrupted the Lovely Empress as she winked at him.

Ji Yuan chuckled as he ignored her tease. "I don't believe."

Then he gestured with his fingers as he said quietly, "Wait here. I will fight with Lin Antian first."

The Lovely Empress displayed a hurtful look, "You want me to stay here while you fight him alone?!"

Ji Yuan laughed softly, "Isn't this what you are supposed to do? I am giving you an opportunity to stab me in the back."

The Lovely Empress hummed softly, "Then you have better watched out for your back. I can really be a most vicious maiden when your guard is down."

Ji Yuan nodded and he had already flashed away while he was shouting out loud, "Lin Antian! Your grand daddy is here!"

Ji Yuan had quickly found Lin Antian along another passage way.

He was quite shocked to see that Lin Antian had dragged a naked Ye Jing along with him.

"This…"

There was a strong killing malevolent air from Lin Antian as he raised his white saint-step divine spear against Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan shouted immediately, "What have you done to my Senior Sister Ye?"

Lin Antian smirked coldly, "Naturally I had used her to regain my profound strength and also to score an additional +3 Points. There were two other ugly cultivators that were with her and they had used her as shield before running off. How unfortunate or else I would have scored another +6 Points. Now I am using her for my pure pleasure."

Ji Yuan had secretly resolved to kill these two ugly cultivators, Jian Ba and Jian Ren later on.

Lin Antian had suddenly displayed his Divine Tree spirit animus over his profound aura, "This wretch had tried to poison me with her body but she did not know that my Divine Tree is a profound spirit animus that can remove any toxins. Therefore this little trick will never work on me."

Ji Yuan said nonchalantly, "I am sure that your Divine Tree has other trump cards as well but you won't be telling me until I'm dead."

Lin Antian merely smiled; what Ji Yuan had said was the truth. His Divine Tree also had the ability to absorb profound energies to grow even stronger as well. This Divine Tree of his was the nemesis to the sword energies practitioners.

"Did you copulate with the Lovely Empress?"

Ji Yuan did not want to lie so he answered nonchalantly, "No."

Lin Antian laughed, "What a missed opportunity. That means that you are now incapable of using your spirit animus. Without your spirit animus, you won't have the profound power to hurt me. Don't worry. After this fight is over, I will copulate the Lovely Empress for you and I will absorb her primeval yin into my cultivation core. When that time comes, even if you have your spirit animus, you won't be able to harm me anymore."

Ji Yuan looked at Lin Antian cautiously, "You don't seem to be a living furnace of the Old Witch Xi. Or else your vitality won't be this strong. Is it because you are a practitioner of something even more evil like the Evil Veins Profound Art?"

Lin Antian was truly startled, "I am really surprised that you are actually aware of my Evil Veins Profound Art."

Ji Yuan had actually heard it from Little Princess once. There was even one time that he had suspected that she was also a practitioner of the Evil Veins Profound Art.

Lin Antian laughed mockingly, "I have fully unlocked 180 out of 360 of my evil veins. Once I have copulated with enough powerful saintesses and can fully unlock all 360 of my evil veins then I am invincible under the heavens."

The Lovely Empress who was hiding in a corner by concealing her profound animus was shocked that this Lin Antian was even more evil than she was…

Ji Yuan said aloud as he displayed his saint-step divine sword and his sword spirit, "Enough of these small talks. This is a life and death duel between just the two of us."

Lin Antian nodded coldly, "You are a hindrance to my ambitions. Don't worry, I shall help you to take care of your harem for you…"

All of a sudden Ji Yuan had slashed with all his profound power against Lin Antian and the air between them had exploded with their profound powers.

Ji Yuan shouted angrily, "Never! You shall not green me…"

All of a sudden Ji Yuan had summoned another sword spirit in his left hand and he was using both sword spirits to a single saint-step divine sword.

Lin Antian had raised his white saintly divine sword to block his attack but he was suddenly forced to use both his hands now because he had never seen Ji Yuan using two sword spirits at the same time.

He shouted, "Ji Yuan, I shall show you my true profound arts…"

Ji Yuan had suddenly thrown away his saintly divine sword behind him and he was suddenly flashing another saintly divine sword, "Sorry Xiang Li but you are a little useless. I have to use Anyang this time."

Xiang Li protested immediately: Wuwuwu, my Big Brother has just thrown me away…

Anyang chuckled: That is because my divine sword has the power of the five elements while you have got nothing.

Lin Antian had suddenly mustered a dark profound aura that was expanding toward Ji Yuan and it was like a black hole that could swallow him up.

Ji Yuan had suddenly unleashed a white beam of streaking light that sliced through this black hole and had exploded through the formidable aura of Lin Antian.

Lin Antian shouted with great rage, "It is impossible that you have the time to execute your miracle sword art…"

But he was not worried because his Divine Tree was empowered with the five elements and could also absorb Ji Yuan's profound might.

But all of a sudden the Divine Tree was withering because Fairy Anyang Xiahou was now saying sternly to the Divine Tree, "You shall not prevail against your former mistress! I have the profound power of the five elements too!" She then shouted loudly, "Fire burn Wood!"

There was a brilliant flash of light as Lin Antian was thrown with such force against the celestium walls that the entire section of the walls had collapsed alongside with him.

Before he could muster his profound strength again and to solidify his profound aura, Ji Yuan had suddenly thrown his saintly divine sword in a form of streaking light as it pierced through his body; he had once again used his most powerful miracle sword art again but this time it was not as a melee weapon but as a missile weapon.

Ji Yuan had not wasted a single blink of an eye as he performed this attack on Lin Antian.

This broke Lin Antian's profound defense immediately as he coughed out blood. But before he could react in the next blink of an eye, Ji Yuan had thrown another saintly divine sword in another form of brilliant miracle light and had pierced Lin Antian's throat!

To say that the second saint-step divine sword had pierced Lin Antian's throat was an understatement. It had pierced with so much profound power that Lin Antian's throat was actually severed from his body.

When Lin Antian had died in that very instant, he still could not believe that Ji Yuan had killed him so quickly with so little profound strength and with such ease. Even his speed was impossible fast.

Ji Yuan said coldly, "No one shall green me and live to see another day. The right side of my sword spirit is power while the left side of my sword spirit is speed…"

With the left side of his sword spirit, he was able to reduce his profound charging time by two blinks of an eye. Also while it appeared that he was using both of his hands, he had actually switched to his left hand as his main sword arm which was even faster than his right hand.

That was why Lin Antian could not believe that Ji Yuan could react with a miracle sword art in such a short time and he could muster the profound power to fight against him. Moreover in such a small time frame, Ji Yuan had used three of his most powerful miracle profound sword art against him.

While Ji Yuan was previously fighting against Lin Antian, he was also secretly observing movements of the Lovely Empress, the Smiling Divine Maiden and Gu Sangu as they may become his potential opponents.

When the Lovely Empress saw the scene, she was shocked that Lin Antian was literally massacred by Ji Yuan in just a few blinks of an eye.

Ji Yuan coolly said, "My old man always taught me to keep my trump cards hidden from the masses. Only when I am alone with them then I am allowed to use my trump cards. Today you are the first to see my trump card. It is because you have also told me your personal secret so this is a fair exchange."

The Lovely Empress was looking weakly at Ji Yuan and she was a little dumbfounded: Does he knows that everyone who are at the speculator stand can also see him?
