Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 379 - 132: Complete Victory

Wang Qi weaved through the sword array, occasionally striking back. To others, this sword array seemed impenetrable and sealed off, but to him, the so-called array was merely a system operating according to a certain algorithm. Once he had deciphered the algorithm, he could become part of the sword array himself. Unbeknownst to them, the six Wanfa Sect disciples were already moving according to his whims without realizing it.

In the limited exchanges of blows, Wang Qi analyzed the data of his opponents.

"Their strength is roughly 1.5 to 2.1 times mine, and they are 30% faster than me…"

"Two of them have a foundation in Swordsmanship rooted in Function Theory, one's wielding the Heavenly Transformation Mysterious Sword, the other the Bai Ze True Formation Slash…"

Wang Qi stepped to the left and spun, dodging Jiang Lin's onslaught. Countless sword moves in his mind pieced together and recombined, and a specific sequence of sword moves designed for this situation was taking shape.

Just then, Suo Wenhong bellowed, "The six of you, scatter at once!"

Wang Qi ceased his deduction of the sword momentum and let out a long howl. In an instant, like a jade bottle shattering and mercury spilling out, a stream of glorious radiance shone forth, and Wang Qi's sword momentum enveloped the six once more.

In a flash, the roles of offense and defense were reversed; the prey became the hunter, the fisherman turned into the crayfish.

Whenever any of the six had the intention to retreat, Wang Qi would undoubtedly thrust out his sword towards their vulnerability, forcing them to return to defense. After several repetitions, not a single one could distance themselves from Wang Qi.

They thought they had surrounded Wang Qi, yet they hadn't realized that they themselves were stuck in a 'marsh' named Wang Qi, unable to move an inch!

Suo Wenhong closed his eyes and spoke softly to Ran Yingwei, "Let's separate them."

Since he was representing his sect, he really didn't want to admit defeat.

Ran Yingwei nodded, his arm trembling, and seven steel butterflies shot into the sword array, seemingly slow yet swift. Spiritual Power that was neither material nor wave trailed behind the flutter of the butterflies' wings, spreading and increasing the resistance around everyone, Wang Qi and the other six Wanfa Sect disciples alike. They all felt as if they were stuck in glue.

"What kind of spell is this?" Wang Qi was not heavily pressured and could still spare a thought to contemplate the kind of spell used by his opponent.

Speaking of butterflies, Wang Qi's first thought was "the butterfly effect." But he immediately dismissed the idea.

The butterfly effect is named as such simply because a curve produced by a chaotic iteration resembled a butterfly, with the theory itself having nothing to do with the butterfly. The statement that "the flap of a butterfly's wings in the rainforests of the Amazon basin in South America could cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later" originated as a metaphor from scientists exaggerated by sensational popular science writers.

Furthermore, Shenzhou had never developed Chaos Theory or Chaos Mathematics, so it was even less likely that the opponent had constructed a spell based on the butterfly effect.

Wang Qi's thoughts raced, but his movements were not slowed. His long sword whirled, fiercely tearing through Shenzhou's resistance. As the six attempted to retreat, Wang Qi leaped up, displaying the No Mistake Sword Net for the third time.

Despite the considerable resistance, infinite resistance was borrowed and incorporated under the operation of the sword net.

To break a sword momentum, one normally has to attack, creating "disharmony" within the other's swordsmanship, making one move incompatible and incoherent with the intended replacement move. However, Wang Qi's No Mistake Sword Net was derived from the compatibility of Mathematics, making it impossible for any vulnerabilities to appear. Even such shapeless resistance could not disturb the sword net in the slightest!

Feng Luoyi once remarked that purely in terms of "technique," this move had reached perfection.

Ran Yingwei suddenly found it difficult to control the butterfly-shaped Mechanical Beasts and was startled, "Could it be that the nature's spiritual energy in that area has been disrupted and ground up by that boy's sword momentum, severing my connection with the Mechanical Beast?"

At that moment, the six Wanfa Sect disciples simultaneously let out furious roars and launched their final attack on Wang Qi. Wang Qi's sword circled around him, and the only sound to be heard was a dense clinking—Wang Qi had actually used the sword net to form a defensive stance and withstood the strike!

Suddenly, Wang Qi spun around, releasing all the borrowed strength.

In one step, one sword.

A dazzling Sword Light shone forth. Ran Yingwei had not yet managed to control the butterflies as he wished, and could only watch helplessly as his Mechanical Beast was cleaved by Wang Qi's sword. Accompanied by a crisp sound, two pieces of metal butterfly wings gently fluttered to the ground.

Wang Qi pointed his long sword at Suo Wenhong, "I said, I want to fight ten of you."

Looking at his confidence, Suo Wenhong, and even Ran Yingwei, were among his targets!

Now, nobody treated his words as a joke anymore. Even ten disciples who had joined the Inner Sect a year ago might not be able to defeat him if they all attacked at once.

Suo Wenhong took a deep breath and drew his long sword. The opponent's talent was indeed extraordinary; he had been too careless. He had thought that an Inner Sect Disciple who had started a year earlier than him would be enough to compete, but unexpected...

Just as Suo Wenhong was about to step down into the arena, Ran Yingwei stopped him.

The third young master of the Ran Family sneered, "Junior brother does have some impressive tactics, fighting swordsmanship without relying on strength, without using spells, only facing the enemy in his own domain of expertise."

Humiliated after Wang Qi had cut down one of his mechanical butterflies, he couldn't help but sneer and mock him.

Wang Qi chuckled lightly, his long sword pointing to the ground. Without any visible movements from Wang Qi, a scratch appeared on the ground. Then, looking at his long sword now entangled with dark red mana, he shook his head and sighed, "Why bother? We are all fellow sect members, why all the fuss?"

Ran Yingwei then remembered that his opponent had mastered the Golden Core Stage's most deadly mental methods, the Elephant Phase Wave Skill and Heavenly Entropy Technique. Not to mention, when Wang Qi had spared Gong Shu during their spar, he avoided aiming the lethal part of the blade at Gong Shu's chest. If he had unleashed a Phase Wave Blade at that moment, Gong Shu would have been sliced open.

What Ran Yingwei didn't know was that even if it were purely a contest of mana, Wang Qi might not be weaker than any of these six individuals. Although he started his journey later, he had come to understand a variant of the Life Flame, the Holy Light, and his mana was now beyond ordinary standards.

At that moment, Chen Feng suddenly appeared behind Wang Qi, with a benign smile on his face, "Why all the fuss? We're all on the same path, why the conflict?"

Wang Qi might be able to defeat six Inner Sect Disciples, but that didn't necessarily mean he could defeat a True Disciple, especially a True Disciple who started a year earlier than Chen Feng and had an extra year of cultivation.

Even Chen Feng, who was stronger than Wang Qi, wasn't sure of victory.

If they were to leave now after such a brash display, they could preserve the impression of victory, at least deterring many who wanted to make a name for themselves in a single battle. Furthermore, not every Foundation Establishment Cultivator would be shameless enough to face a Qi Cultivation Cultivator. According to Chen Feng's calculation, if they left now, they would likely have fewer problems in the future.

At least, that's what Chen Feng was planning.

Wang Qi let himself be pulled back by Chen Feng. He really did want to have a match with Suo Wenhong, but Chen Feng was stronger than him, so he had no choice but to be led away. Then, Chen Feng also pushed Chen Youjia, urging the pair of troublemakers to leave this place of conflict.

Ran Yingwei shouted, "Not fighting anymore?"

Chen Feng took the initiative to reply, "Not fighting, there's no point. Wang Qi might not be able to defeat Senior Brother Suo."

"What about my butterfly?"

"I'll compensate you," Chen Feng answered without looking back, "A Flow Control Type-Three mechanism from Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, right? I'll buy a replacement for you later."

For a moment, Suo Wenhong couldn't find any reason to continue the fight. Wang Qi thought about it and also decided not to continue the fight. After all, he was on a mission to show off, not to exchange martial arts insights—Feng Luoyi indicated that if anyone wanted to exchange insights, they were welcome to seek him out at any time.

Everything was moving towards a harmonious resolution. Only Ran Yingwei was greatly dissatisfied, snorting, "Cowards without guts."

Wang Qi suddenly felt a chill. Then, Chen Feng stopped.
