85: intensify

It was hard to imagine that Li Xiangyun not only shattered the meteor but also froze it the instant it broke apart.

“What a magnificent display! Even if a fierce wind rises from the ground, I shall ride it and break through a myriad of miles!”

“Young man, this Immortal Master is growing more and more appreciative of you!”

“Why not join my Spirit Beast Sect? This Immortal Master can make the decision right now to let you become the Sect Master of my Spirit Beast Sect.”

After a brief exchange, Wei Tiangang actually felt a sense of mutual admiration for Li Xiangyun.

If before, he had only valued Li Xiangyun's strength and wanted to use him,

then now, he genuinely wanted to recruit Li Xiangyun.

Hearing this, before Li Xiangyun could speak, Wan Qing, who was not far away, already became anxious, “Wei Tiangang, what do you mean by this?”

“You're poaching an Elder of my Ten Thousand Swords Sect right in front of this Immortal Master.”

Seemingly truly afraid that Li Xiangyun would agree, Wan Qing continued, “Li Xiangyun, don't worry, this Immortal Master has already sent a message to the Sect, and the Old Ancestor is already on his way.”

“Of course, if you truly wish to be the Sect Master, it's not impossible for this Immortal Master to abdicate early.”

Wei Tiangang paid no attention, but instead watched Li Xiangyun with tiger-like eyes, awaiting his reply.

In response, Li Xiangyun first smiled at Wan Qing, “Sect Master is joking. I am already the Old Ancestor of the Li Family, so how could I also serve as Sect Master?”

Then he mocked Wei Tiangang, “You want this Old Man to be your Sect Master? It's simple. First, let Xu Kunmu commit suicide!”

“Then you can kneel and beg this Old Man, and perhaps this Immortal Master will consider it.”

“Li Xiangyun, it seems you truly wish to die!”

Wei Tiangang said in a cold voice, his eyes filled with an extreme killing intent.

At this moment, Wei Tiangang genuinely harbored murderous intentions.

Such a terrifying enemy, if he couldn't be turned into an ally, then he could only be killed!

Wei Tiangang was already prepared to slay Li Xiangyun and go to war with the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

Subsequently, Wei Tiangang stomped the ground with force, soaring into the sky and engaging Li Xiangyun in battle once more.

And this time, perhaps due to his murderous intent, Wei Tiangang's attacks were no longer as casual as before, each move aimed to kill.

This doubled the pressure on Li Xiangyun.

At the same time, Xu Kunmu, listening to Li Xiangyun's recent words, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

“Li Xiangyun, if it's like this, then don't blame me!”

Subsequently, Xu Kunmu charged directly towards the Li Family members.

His intention was obvious.

The surrounding onlookers, seeing this scene, quickly scurried away.

Only the Cultivators of the Li Family and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect remained.

It wasn't that they didn't want to run, but within this Spirit Beast Sect, as long as they didn't leave the grand formation, where could they possibly run to?

Watching this scene, a trace of hesitation flashed in Wang Ning's eyes, but in the end, he resolutely stood in front of Li Muwan.

Zhou Jingxing hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and chose to stay.

This made Wang Ning feel a slight sense of goodwill towards him.

As for everyone else, they were now in a panic.

“What do we do? That Immortal Master Kunmu seems to be coming for us!”

“It's not ‘seems to be,’ he is!”

“He sees that he can't take down the Old Ancestor, so he wants to use us to threaten the Old Ancestor.”

“I, Li Xiaolong, swear to die rather than become a hostage to endanger the Old Ancestor!”

It was hard to imagine that at this moment, there were no complaints among the crowd.

Even if there were, seeing the resolute gazes of most people, they chose to remain silent.

Of course, this was also related to Li Xiangyun not having been defeated yet.

But undoubtedly, Li Xiangyun's efforts over these three years had not been in vain.

Even in this world of Cultivation, Family lineage and ancestral law still outweighed everything else.

And the Family Old Ancestor, as the guardian deity and stabilizing force of a Family, was an supreme existence within a Family.

Therefore, unless one was completely insane, no one would dare to complain.

Fortunately, at this critical moment, Li Muwan calmly and coolly transmitted a comforting message, “Everyone, don't worry, I have a Sword Talisman given by the Old Ancestor.”

Saying this, she took out a dark blue Sword Talisman from her bosom.

This was refined by Li Xiangyun using a special method, containing his full-power strike.

Clearly, even before coming to the Spirit Beast Sect, Li Xiangyun had anticipated this situation.

Therefore, not only Li Muwan, but even his two Disciples, Li Xiner and Li Hentian, each had their own life-saving methods.

Hearing this, everyone immediately quieted down, all letting out a sigh of relief.

They had thought so; as ordinary clan members, their deaths might not be regrettable, but how could Li Muwan and Li Xiner, as the Old Ancestor's closest people, not have arrangements?

Xu Kunmu, however, was clearly still unaware of this. At this moment, he was dreaming of using the Li Family members to coerce Li Xiangyun into kneeling and submitting.

Therefore, he charged towards Li Muwan and the others without any reservations.

Thus, without further hesitation,

Li Muwan quickly channeled Qi into the Sword Talisman, activating it.

In an instant, a dazzling sword light flashed, carrying an Aura that seemed to pierce the sky, and charged towards Xu Kunmu.

Although Xu Kunmu was greatly alarmed by this, he had already anticipated it.

As someone who could betray Li Xiangyun on the Extraterritorial Battlefield and escape unscathed,

Xu Kunmu's ability to survive in this perilous Cultivation world until now relied on his caution.

Therefore, how could he be completely unprepared?

Thus, in the next second,

countless rays of light flared, and one defensive Magic Treasure after another appeared in front of Xu Kunmu.

Although their grades weren't high, with the best being only a low-grade Spirit Treasure, they made up for it in sheer numbers.

At the same time, Xu Kunmu's hands were not idle; several wooden walls rose, forming layers of impregnable barriers, blocking his front.

Even with this, Xu Kunmu was not satisfied, and even his body was covered in vines.

No attacks, full body defense!

Li Muwan and the others watched, dumbfounded.

It was hard to imagine that a Golden Core True Person could be so cowardly.

But even so, under their expectant gazes,

that dazzling sword light irresistibly pierced through all the defenses blocking his front, one by one.

Xu Kunmu's body trembled at the sight.

There was no chance to escape, so Xu Kunmu could only grit his teeth and endure it.

Then, with a roar, Xu Kunmu was sent flying, transforming into a massive ice block that crashed to the ground.

Just when everyone thought they were safe, unexpectedly, cracks began to appear in the ice block, which then shattered with a crash, revealing Xu Kunmu's disheveled figure.

At the same time, there was a clearly visible hole in Xu Kunmu's chest, which was rapidly healing.

This showed the power of Li Xiangyun's full-power strike; if Xu Kunmu hadn't been so cunning, this sword might have already pierced through his body.

Xu Kunmu, standing up, also felt a wave of lingering fear.

Although he had long known of Li Xiangyun's power, facing it directly still made him feel a sense of dread.

But it was precisely because of this that Xu Kunmu's murderous intent became even more resolute.

Li Xiangyun, currently only at the Mid-stage Golden Core, was already so terrifying, capable of rivaling a Golden Core Peak Cultivator. Xu Kunmu truly couldn't imagine what would happen if he were allowed to continue Cultivating.

Perhaps by then, even the Spirit Beast Sect wouldn't be able to protect him!

With this thought, a chilling killing intent flared in Xu Kunmu's eyes, and he charged towards Li Muwan and the others once more.
