Chapter Thirty-Nine: Seizing the Sword

  Before Mu Yuan went down the mountain, he had a lot of dealings with Zhou Hua Sheng and Wu De Jun. The two were disciples of different sects and had never gotten along, but they would only engage in private fights with people who were similar in age and years of cultivation, and would not bully the weak with their superior skills. These two men, especially Wu De Jun, were quite talented and had fought Mu Yuan many times, winning more often than losing, so when facing Mu Yuan, Wu De Jun was always full of confidence!

  Wu Dejun was a rich young master, unlike Mu Yuan. In the past, any disciple who had completed the first layer of Qi Refining and entered the second layer would be sent down the mountain to temper themselves through practice. Wu Dejun had just returned to the mountain not long ago.

  Two men faced off, their sleeves fluttering in the wind. Wu Dejun's face turned bright red as he stumbled backward several steps, staggering like a drunkard, his hands and feet numb, his eyes wide with shock as he stared at Mu Yuan.

  Mu Yuan was the first to descend the mountain, and his harvest was enormous, it can only be described as incredible or even abnormal. He obtained the tide of the five elements, which is extremely helpful for breaking through the cultivation of longevity techniques. As for the dragon king's powerful momentum being compatible with the longevity energy, the greatest benefit is that it increases the lethality and shockwave of the longevity technique! Moreover, with the Longevity Sword swirling in his dantian, it was as if he had reached the stage of Dan Cheng, and many divine abilities that were previously limited by his cultivation could now be used freely. Wu Dejun naturally couldn't withstand it.

  Since the two factions of disciples have always been at odds, the words of Qī Jū Fēng's disciples are full of implicit meanings. They say that Cāng Qīng Zǐ is skilled in seducing women, which is why Qing Hua True Person had to lower herself and marry him - in their eyes, a high-level cultivator like Qing Hua True Person becoming the dao partner of someone who has just reached the Dan Cheng realm is naturally "lowering" herself!

  Although it is not explicitly stated that Cang Qingzi is a senior of the Longsheng Palace, both parties are not fools and can naturally understand the underlying meaning. Therefore, when Wu Dejun mentioned that Mu Yuan went down the mountain to seduce good women and have children, he was implicitly attacking Ding Yunfeng's reputation as a master who produces excellent disciples. Mu Yuan has a deep affection for his master, whom he has been raised by since childhood, and cannot tolerate others slandering him. Therefore, among the two sects' disciples, Mu Yuan is also one of those who have been punished by the sect leader the most!

  Zhou Huaisheng saw Wu Dejun shaking and trembling, and naturally didn't know that this was due to the power of the Dragon King's thunder and lightning mixed in with Mu Yuan's Longsheng Qi. He thought Mu Yuan was using a trick, so he let out a loud roar, raised his hand and sent out a flying sword, which was as green as jade and had a sparkling trail behind it, and quickly chopped at Mu Yuan!

  Zha Feng was pulled to the back by Mu Yuan, and saw that the opponent had casually released a ray of light, flying and flashing, dazzling and delightful, and couldn't help but shout out.

  Mu Yuan saw Zhou Hua's flying sword and sneered, "Today I'll take your flying sword, see what you have to say. It's just right for Feng Er to play with, let you go complain, it's hard to speak!"

  With a firm decision in mind, the five fingers spread apart, and even the long-lived sword is not used. The true energy inside the body swirls and dances, and a green light appears around the arm, flying and spinning, spewing out from the palm of the hand, transforming into a rolling thunderbolt, shaped like a sword, with a wide and large shape, countless lights floating, sinking, and falling, rolling back and forth, it is indeed the Air Soldier Sword Thunder!

  The wonder of Qi Gong lies in its ability to control the flow of energy with one's mind, where the power is complex and cannot be described, including rotation, tearing, absorbing, dissolving... Compared to flying swords, it may lack agility, but excels in depth!

  While Qingmu Shenmang doesn't emphasize the subtlety and cleverness of changes, he excels in momentum and power, with a sense of overwhelming force that can defeat all techniques. With his powerful aura, he can achieve great things. Moreover, when it comes to agility and speed, Zhou Hua's flying sword may not be able to surpass Mu Yuan's mastery of the Canglang Water Sword.

  Zhou Huaisheng did not expect that Mu Yuan would have such a method. He and Wu Dejun returned to the Longsheng Palace a month ago, although they benefited greatly from their trip down the mountain, at the time they were only in the second layer of Qi refining, now they are close to achieving the perfect state. After all, the Longsheng Palace has accumulated knowledge for thousands of years and has reached an astonishing level in its research on human body acupoints. Unblocking meridians and then solidifying acupoints is a simple matter. Avoiding the world and retreating from worldly affairs is not the essence of cultivation. Occasionally coming into contact with the noisy mundane world can be greatly beneficial to one's cultivation.

  Two people returned to the mountain and were given flying swords by their master, starting to study swordsmanship. Mu Yuan had just returned to the mountain with no sword by his side, which was a good opportunity to take advantage of him and humiliate him. However, after Mu Yuan went down the mountain once, he gained benefits that the two people couldn't imagine. With one strike, he retreated Wu Dejun, and with several rounds, he surrounded Zhou Huasheng's flying sword circle. The air raged back and forth, and inch by inch, it rose up. Zhou Huasheng's face turned red, but he felt a spiral force wrapping around his arm, which seemed to be about to strangle his arm along with the flying sword if he continued to control it. Although he was reluctant, the flying sword gradually left his control, little by little flying into Mu Yuan's hands!

  Wu Dejun was shocked at the sight, but seeing a rolling aurora lock up Zhou Huasheng's Biyu sword in mid-air, he managed to calm down and flew out a short and agile spiritual sword with flashing light, directly attacking Mu Yuan.

  "It's still the same!" Now, Mu Yuan's cultivation and strength have far surpassed both of them. His body's acupoints are fully connected, and the power of heaven and earth is vast. Even if it's just the third layer of Fa Xin condensation, he has already passed more than half of it. Half of his meridians are filled with overflowing internal energy, and every move he makes is full of endless strength. Dealing with both of them is naturally easy. His left hand also summoned a Canglang Water Sword to block Wu Dejun's attack, while his right hand's Qingmu Divine Spear was fully activated, intent on seizing the Biyu Sword!

  Wu Dejun's sword was the Tongling Sword, forged from Tongling Stone. Although it wasn't a top-grade sword, its ability to communicate with spirits made it incredibly useful. It excelled at being agile and flexible, allowing Wu Dejun to control it with his mind and command his troops with his breath. Compared to other flying swords, the Tongling Sword's greatest advantage was its spiritual connection, which allowed it to move freely and strike with precision. However, when faced with Mu Yuan's Canglang Water Sword, Wu Dejun found himself unable to gain even a slight upper hand in terms of speed and agility. He felt his energy being suppressed by Mu Yuan's unpredictable sword movements, like a clay ox sinking into the sea. Enraged, Wu Dejun controlled his flying sword with even greater ferocity, its trajectory becoming more majestic and powerful!

  Mu Yuan smiled calmly, his right hand exerting force, the swirling energy in the air became even more violent, directly stripping away the Biyu sword. The swirling energy transformed into a spiral thrust, forcing Zhou Huasheng back several zhang, unable to get close!

  Bi Yu Jian lost control, only revolving in Mu Yuan's aura, and after a month of refining, Mu Yuan was furious, directly urging the Long Sheng Jian, a sword energy washed away, erasing his spiritual imprint completely!

  Changsheng Sword was originally in Zhao Yang Mountain, where even divine souls could be absorbed, let alone Zhou Hua Sheng's spiritual imprint that had not yet been refined!

  He snatched the Biyu sword, and Mu Yuan's anger in his heart slightly subsided. The two great auras rolled and swept across Wuwu, Zhou Hua Sheng and Wu De Jun did not dare to confront him head-on, and retreated far away!
