Who Let Him Cultivate?!

```

"Our Sect Leader has schemed this far?" Meng Jingzhou was astonished, wondering if Daoist Buyu provoked others all along just for this battle today?

Lu Yang said somberly, "No, I think it's just our Master's nature to make enemies everywhere."

"Has that little thief Buyu reached the Pass Tribulation stage?" The Ruthless Sect Body Integration Realm above Lu Yang's head noticed the commotion at the City Lord's mansion, obviously, someone who also had a history with Daoist Buyu.

"Still have the energy to care about others?" The Gold Clan Leader's eyes burned red as he fanned the demonic fire, opened his huge bloody mouth, and swallowed all sorts of ghostly shadows summoned by the other, refining them into Ghouls in his stomach for his own use.

The Qiongqi Clan is naturally a battle-oriented race, who, once in combat mode, only focus on their opponents and disregard their surroundings.

According to Fairy Eternity's judgment, this is called being single-minded.

"Who can win?" Daoist Xiantian watched the skies above the City Lord's mansion anxiously. He hadn't seen the likes of a Transcendence Tribulation Stage battle even during his time in the Body Integration Realm, let alone expect to witness one so soon after just a few days in the prison.

...

Daoist Buyu's feet paved the grand path of Swordsmanship once more, with countless sword shadows sprouting from beneath, the murderous intent shocking the world. Sword beams soared into the sky in an unpredictable fashion, as if dragons were soaring and phoenixes were dancing!

The Spirit Sword exhaled colorful Sword Qi, sharp and dazzling, captivating the soul.

Su Moran felt his hair stand on end. He hadn't even come into contact with the Sword Qi when he felt a piercing pain, as if thousands of needles were pricking him.

He suddenly lifted two giant axes, with countless shattered mountain illusions emerging behind him, all mountains he had split with his axe.

"Five Mountains Fissure!"

A swath of mountainous illusions poured down with the swing of his axes as if heaven and earth were collapsing!

The citizens of Ye City trembled in fear, knowing that if this strike were to hit Ye City, the city would be reduced to rubble, leaving no survivors!

Daoist Buyu sat cross-legged on one leg, using his sword as a zither, playing and singing with a song that was bold and stirring, resonating with ten thousand swords. The Sword Qi soared, stirring the heavens and the earth, shattering the mountainous illusions!

Lu Yang suddenly remembered his Third Senior Sister saying that she was good at music, which she had learned from their Master.

"Here, I establish a rule. [You are not allowed to call out the names of your moves]." For the first time, Daoist Buyu, in his Transcendence Tribulation Stage identity, set a temporary rule.

Su Moran, wielding his axes, was about to shout his move when he was nearly choked by Daoist Buyu's rule.

The matters bound by Daoist Buyu's rules were trivial, so their binding power was immense. Moreover, since Su Moran had previously laid down two [Rules] to seal off Ye City, he now had no strength to defy Daoist Buyu on the level of rules.

"During a fight, don't randomly shout the names of moves; it's bad for your throat... One Sword Becomes Ten Thousand!"

Tens of thousands of Spirit Sword illusions flew out from the grand path of Swordsmanship, resonating with each other, their light merging into a three-foot divine sword.

"This is the Unification of Ten Thousand Swords!" Daoist Buyu taunted again and again. Even if Su Moran repeated the mantra of tranquility in his mind a hundred times, it was useless, and he couldn't help but feel furious.

You won't let me call out my moves, fine, but you can—and you do it on purpose, naming them incorrectly!

"Getting old and the brain not working well? Why do you believe whatever I say?" Daoist Buyu looked at Su Moran disdainfully, wondering how he could be the Vice Sect Hierarch with such ability.

Suddenly, as the divine sword condensed from ten thousand swords was about to pierce Su Moran, it burst apart, becoming ten thousand swords once more. Su Moran was caught off guard, his body riddled with sword holes.

"I already said it's One Sword Becomes Ten Thousand. Didn't you think to guard against it?" Daoist Buyu laughed, his eyes full of mockery.

Watching the battle from afar, Lu Yang silently thought to himself, these moves of yours, Master, they couldn't possibly have been honed by sparring with Grandmaster and Master Jiesha, could they?

For more than a thousand years, Su Moran had been keeping an eye on Daoist Buyu's movements and fighting styles.

However, Daoist Buyu's style was so varied that it couldn't be grasped through mere observation, let alone countered!

The fight quickly escalated, with swords dazzling and axe shadows intertwining, the air heavy with the sparks of fierce combat.

```

Daoist Buyu moved like a specter, his long sword casting shadows with every movement, transitioning from complex to simple, and back to complex, his techniques ever-changing and endless. The dual axes carried a great force and swung as swift as the wind, providing an impenetrable defense like water off a duck's back.

Wu Lei, who was watching the battle from the side, didn't dare to intervene in a fight of this caliber. With his cultivation level, even taking a single blow would result in certain death or severe injury!

Suddenly, Daoist Buyu found an opening, his sword tip flicked, expertly breaking the crossed axes' defense and exposing the chest's barrier door.

"This is bad!" Su Moran thought to himself, wanting to reset his defensive stance, but the opening had been methodically forced by Daoist Buyu's attacks, who had anticipated this very moment. Another move, long in the making, would not give Su Moran any chance to react!

"Sword Opens Heaven's Gate!"

The sharp sword cleaved down like a ribbon of silk. The sky trembled, carrying limitless intent to kill, aiming straight for Su Moran!

When he was at the late stage of Body Integration Realm, this move forced even the Transcendance Tribulation Stage Poxiao to dodge, and now that he had ascended to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, the power of this strike far surpassed before!

The heavens split open, and a swath of mighty Sword Qi engulfed Su Moran.

Suddenly, Su Moran appeared at another location, the life-saving talisman on his chest starting to burn, signifying that he had just died once.

"Sword Opens Heaven's Gate!"

Without a second thought, Daoist Buyu advanced and struck Su Moran, who had just escaped with his life, with another sword.

The firmament shook, the blade's edge clear and brilliant, like a dazzling rainbow, hacking towards Su Moran!

This time, without a life-saving talisman, the sword struck true, bisecting his body in two!

Su Moran circulated his profound energy, burning his essence blood to heal his body. Although his body recovered, his vitality was severely damaged, and a visible line could still be seen down the center.

He desperately tried to flee Ye City.

Bang!

He ran headfirst into an invisible wall that surrounded Ye City.

He had established the rule here that [no one may leave Ye City].

No one, including himself.

Just as he was about to lift this rule, he heard Daoist Buyu's voice from behind: "[You are not allowed to leave Ye City]."

Having set two rules himself, Su Moran had given Daoist Buyu the authority to set two rules as well. The second rule had not been used until this moment!

"Wait..."

Su Moran tried to say something only to see Daoist Buyu, not even listening, pierce through Su Moran's Lingtai with his sword and stomp on his body, crashing down from the sky with a heavy impact on the ground.

"Wait—spare my life, we could go to Demon City, let Venerate Zhu Tian use the Dao Fruit Outline to turn me into your slave!" Su Moran quickly pleaded.

Daoist Buyu's white teeth gleamed, terrifying in the darkness.

He shook his head slightly: "I'm sorry, I've accepted a commission, someone wants your life."

"Who, who is it? I can give you double, no, triple the reward!"

Daoist Buyu was smiling, a cold smile: "Over a thousand years ago, I, along with the Seek Dao Sect and the Dynasty, exterminated the bases of your Ruthless Sect and saved quite a few people—men and women, young and old, many of whom were tortured beyond recognition by your sect."

"Upon seeing me, they cried, begging me to kill every member of your Ruthless Sect."

"What kind of reward does Master Su think he can offer to make those people forget their hate for your Ruthless Sect?"
