On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

"Heh! There's no escaping death now!" Qiu Xufeng's thoughts dripped with hostility, evident in his intense glare.

"Hey, Zhong Wen, you look after Yin Yun while I deal with that scoundrel," Qiu Xufeng instructed his partner, firmly stating their roles.

"But wouldn't it be better if I took on that guy?" Zhong Wen questioned

"He's only at the First stage of the Qi Refinement Realm, while I'm already at the 8th stage. I could defeat him easily."

He continued, acknowledging the reality: "There's no way I could win against Yin Yun. She's stronger than me, and her cultivation base is at the 9th stage of the Qi Refinement, just like you."

Yin Yun kept her true cultivation base hidden by using a special treasure, concealing the level of her power. Similarly, Chen Tian's Dantian prevented anyone from discerning his true cultivation level.

Even in the presence of formidable individuals like the elders of the Immortal Sword Sect, Long Wei, and Su Linhua, their ability to perceive Chen Tian's actual cultivation remained impossible.

As a result, anyone who encountered Chen Tian would only perceive him as a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator at the initial stage.

"I never asked you to defeat her; all I need is for you to distract her while I handle that guy," Qiu Xufeng expressed with a frown on his face.

Qiu Xufeng conveyed his frustration, emphasizing the simplicity of the task at hand.

"Sigh, do you really have to do this? I think..."

"Did I fucking ask for your opinion!" Qiu Xufeng interrupted angrily. "Just do as I say and keep her busy.

I have my own plans with that guy, and I don't need you questioning me. Now just do what I told you to do."

"...Fine" Zhong Wen has no choice but to agree to Qiu Xufeng's request.

"But you must conclude your battle swiftly, for I fear I won't be able to endure too much," he said, expressing his concern.

"Hehe~ don't worry, it won't take much dealing with a piece of trash," Qiu Xufeng responded with a confident smirk.

Meanwhile, Yin Yun directed her gaze towards Chen Tian.

"He's coming after you." Yin Yun said to Chen Tian

"I know, it's quite obvious, even a child could discern his true intentions," Chen Tian acknowledged with a nod.

He could easily discern Qiu Xufeng's intention that, once the match began, Qiu Xufeng would launch a direct and relentless attack on him without any hesitation.

Chen Tian understood that this was Qiu Xufeng's opportunity for revenge, seeking to avenge the humiliation he had previously endured at Chen Tian's hands.

"Do you want me to help you?" Yin Yun asked with a playful smile.

"Don't be bashful. As your teammate, I'm more than willing to watch out for you," she reassured,

She anticipated that Chen Tian would feel reassured upon hearing her words to protect him and expected him to ask for her assistance.

However, his following words caught her off guard, leaving her surprised.

"No. I can handle him on my own," Chen Tian replied confidently.

""Ah, I see you're brimming with confidence." Yin Yun noted Chen Tian's confident expression.

Recognizing his seriousness, she responded, "In that case, I'll handle the other individual, and you can face Qiu Xufeng on your own."

'Chen Tian is still in the First Stage of The Qi Refinement Realm, while Qiu Xufeng has already reached the 9th Stage.

Clearly, Chen Tian is no match for him. However, I need to respect Chen Tian's decision'

She decided to trust Chen Tian and let him fight Qiu Xufeng on his own, but she would still keep an eye on his fight.

If Chen Tian is in danger, she will intervene and help him.

"My opponent is merely at the 8th Stage of the Qi Refinement Realm, making it effortless to defeat him. However, I'll take my time and observe Chen Tian's fight with that fool," Yin Yun contemplated.

Recalling a previous incident where Senior Long Wei had intervened and halted their impending fight, Yin Yun couldn't help but sense a mysterious aura surrounding Chen Tian.

"I might uncover something intriguing about Chen Tian in this battle," she thought, suspecting that there might be more to him than meets the eye.

She is curious to see how he will handle himself in this fight against Qiu Xufeng.

Despite knowing that she could easily defeat her own opponent, Yin Yun decides to take her time and observe Chen Tian's performance.

As both teams looked at each other, the red blocks on the ground turned green, indicating that the fight had started.

Bang

Qiu Xufeng didn't' waste any time and immediately charged towards Chen Tian, he didn't' even give a glance at the glowing object in the middle of the arena.

With his speed, Qiu Xufeng quickly closed the distance between him and Chen Tian. He took out a sword from his storage ring.

The sword was gleaming with a sharp edge, reflecting the light from the arena.

"Chen Tian, be cautious! That sword Qiu Xufeng has is a grade 3 Spiritual Weapon," Yin Yun exclaimed, her voice filled with concern, as she observed the sword Qiu Xufeng had retrieved.

Chen Tian, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, not showing any signs of panic or fear.

He paid no heed to the mere grade 3 spiritual weapons, showing complete indifference towards the sword in Qiu Xufeng hand.

[A/N: Mortal Weapons are called spiritual weapons; they are graded from 1 to 10, after Mortal Weapons are the Immortal Weapons.]

Qiu Xufeng swung his sword menacingly, directing it towards Chen Tian in an attempt to pierce his opponent's heart.

Chen Tian, however, effortlessly dodged the attack with incredible speed and agility.

Yin Yun's eyes widened in surprise as she watched Chen Tian's impressive display of skill.

"You piece of trash," Qiu Xufeng sneered,

Seeing Chen Tian dodge his words easily, Qiu Xufeng got pissed. He couldn't believe that someone as lowly as Chen Tian could effortlessly evade his attack.

His anger flared, and he prepared to launch another attack with even more intensity.

Chen Tian remained unfazed, a smirk playing on his lips. "Trash? I guess you switched your dictionary with a mirror," Chen Tian retorted with a sly grin.

"Because you seem to be describing yourself perfectly."

He taunted, effortlessly dodging Qiu Xufeng's clumsy attacks.

Qiu Xufeng's attacks, though not entirely clumsy, lacked any skill and were insufficient to pose a threat to someone like Chen Tian.

Chen Tian skillfully evaded Qiu Xufeng's attacks, his movements were fluid and graceful.

Despite Qiu Xufeng's impressive speed, Chen Tian's agility allowed him to anticipate each strike and effortlessly dodge them.

As Qiu Xufeng continued his relentless assault, Chen Tian moved with unparalleled speed, his body weaving through the air like a specter.

Each dodge was executed with precision, narrowly avoiding the incoming strikes. His footwork was flawless, and he seemed to anticipate Qiu Xufeng's attacks even before they were launched.

Qiu Xufeng grew frustrated as his attacks failed to find their mark.

"Damn bastard, stop running like a bitch!" Qiu Xufeng shouted in frustration.

"Hahaha! Oh, is that all you've got?" Chen Tian taunted, smirking confidently. "I thought you were supposed to be tough.

Looks like you're just all bark and no bite. Keep running, it's the only thing you're good at!"

"Y-You!!" Qiu Xufeng growled, his anger boiling over. He charged at Chen Tian with renewed determination, to kill him.

"I will see for how long you can still run!"

"Darkened Tempest!"

Qiu Xufeng executed a technique known as "Darkened Tempest." With each step towards Chen Tian, his sword became enveloped in a tumultuous whirlwind of ominous energy, amplifying his presence.

The blackened Qi surged around him, forming a wicked, ethereal Qi around the sword in his hand.

"Chen Tian, be careful!" Yin Yun, seeing Qiu Xufeng attack with such ferocity, shouted a warning to Chen Tian.

Just as she wanted to go save Chen Tian, a sword came hurtling towards her. She quickly dodged it, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow.

"Miss Yin, I shall be your opponent!" Zhong Wen declared in a composed tone. He tightly grasped a colossal greatsword, its blade shimmering with a foreboding aura.

Yin's gaze narrowed as she carefully evaluated the situation. Zhong Wen, a prominent cultivator from the new generation of the Immortal Sword Sect, was renowned for his remarkable power and expertise in wielding his formidable greatsword.

Without wasting any time, Yin Yun drew her own weapon, a slender yet lethal red ribbon with sharp ends. She adopted a defensive stance, ready to counter any attack Zhong Wen might unleash on her.

Zhong Wen charged forward, swinging his great sword with incredible force. The ground shook beneath his feet as the massive blade sliced through the air, aiming to cleave Yin in two.

Yin swiftly dodged Zhong Wen's powerful swing, her agile movements allowing her to evade the deadly trajectory of the great sword. As Zhong Wen's attack left him momentarily off balance, Yin saw her opportunity to strike.

With a flick of her wrist, Yin's ribbons extended and sharpened at the ends, transforming into lethal whips.

The ribbons crackled with fiery energy, a testament to Yin's mastery of the fire element. She twirled her weapons skillfully, creating a mesmerizing dance of flame and steel.

Zhong Wen, realizing his attack had missed its mark, quickly regained his balance and anticipated Yin's counterattack.

He leaped backward, narrowly avoiding the deadly whips that Yin unleashed with precision. As he landed, he gathered his focus and prepared for his next move.

The clash between Zhong Wen and Yin intensified as they engaged in a fierce battle.

Their skills were evenly matched, each displaying their unique combat styles and elemental mastery.

The air crackled with energy as their attacks collided, sending sparks flying in all directions.

Amidst these unfolding events, Qiu Xufeng let out a resounding battle cry, swiftly and precisely wielding the dark sword as he lunged towards Chen Tian with astonishing speed.

The blade crackled with malevolent energy, leaving a trail of darkness in its wake as it sliced through the air.

Seeing the sword coming towards him, Chen Tian only smirked and took one step back.

"Something is wrong!"

Qiu Xufeng's intuition tingled with unease upon witnessing the sly smirk on his opponent's face.

As the sword sliced through the air with swift precision, Chen Tian stood unwavering, refusing to budge.

"Idiot" Chen Tian wishpered.

Just as the sword was about to strike Chen Tian's body, the block beneath his feat turned into a vibrant shade of red.

Qiu Xufeng's expression underwent an immediate shift.

"Fuck!!"

BO OOM!!
