Battle Xing Tian! Gan Qi Axe, Grass Sword!

Just now, seeing Qin Mu's hesitant expression.

Xing Tian thought his sincerity still wasn't enough.

How could he know.

Qin Mu was deeply shaken by what Xing Tian had taken out.

Not to mention the Creation Jade Disk Fragment, even just the single drop of Quintessential Blood Xing Tian offered was enough to make Qin Mu's heart stir.

Of course, even if Xing Tian hadn't put up a stake and merely proposed a spar, Qin Mu wouldn't have refused.

This climb up Buzhou Mountain had brought Qin Mu great gains.

Not only had his cultivation broken through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level, he had also obtained the Lin Zi Secret, one of the Nine Secrets, and his Nine Revolutions Profound Skill had advanced to the fourth revolution.

Compared to before, Qin Mu's strength had taken a massive leap.

Xing Tian's request for a sparring match.

Qin Mu also wanted to test himself and see just how strong he was now.

Kuafu watched, equally expectant.

Among the Great Witches of the Witch Clan, Xing Tian was far stronger than him.

Earlier, Qin Mu had defeated Kuafu relying purely on physical strength.

Kuafu wanted to see.

Between Qin Mu and Xing Tian, who would come out on top?

Just then, Xing Tian excitedly waved his hand.

"Boom!"

In an instant, a painting scroll materialized in the void not far away.

From that scroll emanated an ancient, weathered aura.

And the moment the scroll unfurled, even the laws of heaven and earth trembled. Then, a ripple of time and space bloomed from within the painting.

"Daoist Qin Mu, please!"

Xing Tian said with a smile, looking at Qin Mu.

Qin Mu nodded, naturally recognizing that the scroll contained a small world.

Then, without delay, the three of them leaped into the painting.

Stepping into the world of the scroll, the scene before them shifted abruptly.

This world was no ordinary cave heaven; it was more like a vast, boundless battlefield.

Looking around, the sky was blood-red, the earth desolate.

Beyond that, dense streams of Chaos Sha Qi filled the air.

As Qin Mu surveyed his surroundings, Xing Tian explained from the side:

"Daoist Qin Mu."

"This is a small world, a training ground created by our Witch Clan's Ancestral Witches."

"Here, you can fight and kill to your heart's content without worrying about the heavens and earth collapsing!"

Qin Mu nodded lightly, inwardly marveling:

"As expected of Ancestral Witch methods—able to open such a stable small world. It seems the Ancestral Witches' mastery of time and space laws has reached perfection."

Among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Dijiang was the Ancestral Witch of Space and Speed, while Candle Dragon was the Ancestral Witch of Time.

Building such a small world was indeed no difficult task for them.

As his admiration faded, Qin Mu snapped back to attention.

At that moment, Xing Tian looked at him with burning eyes: "Daoist Qin Mu, are you ready?"

Hearing this, Qin Mu nodded, clearly seeing that Xing Tian couldn't wait to cross blows with him.

"Both of you, go ahead."

"But... since this is a sparring match, let's keep it measured and not harm our goodwill!"

Kuafu said this, then stepped back.

Once Kuafu had withdrawn, Qin Mu and Xing Tian faced off. Their gazes were sharp, their battle intent blazing!

"Daoist Qin Mu!"

"Watch out!"

As their eyes locked, Xing Tian shouted first.

"Boom!"

In the next moment, he charged at Qin Mu like a savage dragon. With a single punch, the void twisted.

Where the fist wind passed, space shattered inch by inch.

"Here it comes!"

Seeing this, Qin Mu did not dodge or evade, but instead met it with a fist of his own.

"Boom!"

In an instant, their fists collided heavily.

The impact of their fists sent a terrifying shockwave sweeping in all directions.

Within this small world, the earth cracked and the heavens trembled.

After this rough exchange of blows, Xing Tian's pupils contracted as he muttered to himself:

"What formidable flesh! To think he can match me head-on?"

Meanwhile, Kuafu, watching from the sidelines, was utterly stunned.

"Xing Tian's physique is second only to the Ancestral Witch among our Witch Clan, yet Daoist Qin Mu can rival him?"

"His strength seems to have grown far more than a little since entering Buzhou Mountain."

When he had fought Qin Mu earlier, Kuafu had already noticed that Qin Mu's physical body was extremely powerful.

But it had not reached such a terrifying level.

After a moment's thought, Kuafu realized that Qin Mu must have encountered some opportunity for growth after entering Buzhou Mountain.

After all, the Witch Clan was born from Pangu's Essence Blood, possessing unmatched physical bodies by nature.

Yet Qin Mu could match a Great Witch with his own body—it was simply unbelievable!

Just as Kuafu was reeling in shock, Xing Tian burst into laughter:

"Hahaha!"

"Excellent! How exhilarating!"

In his excitement, his gaze shifted, locking directly onto Qin Mu with even fiercer battle intent.

"Daoist Qin Mu, I'm about to get serious now!"

With that, Xing Tian let out a furious roar, his hands tearing through the void as space split open.

In the next moment, a blood-colored battle axe and a massive bronze shield tore through the air.

The moment they appeared, a surge of Sha Qi erupted.

"The Gan Qi Axe? The Xing Tian Shield?"

Kuafu exclaimed in shock.

He naturally recognized that the weapons Xing Tian had summoned were his lifebound divine arms—the Gan Qi Battle Axe and the Xing Tian Shield!

The Gan Qi Axe had once drunk the blood of Myriad Spirits, while the Xing Tian Shield could even withstand innate spiritual treasures!

Seeing this, Qin Mu's gaze sharpened.

Just then, Xing Tian roared:

"Daoist Qin Mu, take this strike of my axe!"

The moment the words fell, Xing Tian raised his battle axe high and brought it crashing down toward Qin Mu.

In that instant, it seemed as though only the radiance of this axe remained in heaven and earth!

"Boom!"

The axe light descended, as if splitting heaven and earth, cleaving chaos itself apart!

"Hm?"

Facing the terrifying axe strike hurtling toward him, Qin Mu dared not be careless. His hands formed seals at lightning speed as he let out a low shout:

"Lin Zi Secret! Open!"

"Boom!"

With the activation of the Lin Zi Secret, Qin Mu's aura surged abruptly.

His dharma power became vast as an abyss, and behind him, a divine ring materialized, imbued with supreme dao resonance.

Beyond this, the Divine Forbidden Domain spread invisibly, enveloping the entire space.

Under the enhancement of the Lin Zi Secret, Qin Mu's strength was elevated across all aspects.

In the next moment, Qin Mu waved his hand, and a verdant immortal sword materialized in his grasp.

The sword was shaped like a blade of grass—slender and light—yet it exuded a sharpness capable of severing all things!

This was the sword Qin Mu had forged by refining the Treasure Distribution Cliff with his own essence blood, infusing it with his innate origin energy.

Though it had not yet reached the rank of a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, it was not far off.

Qin Mu had named it—the "Grass Sword!"

Seeing Xing Tian's axe descending with overwhelming might, covering heaven and earth, Qin Mu raised his sword:

"Daoist Xing Tian, take this strike of mine!"

The moment the words fell, Qin Mu had already met the attack, sword in hand, and the Grass Sword in his grip lashed out in a sudden slash!

"Grass Character Sword Art!"

"Chop!"

"Swish!"

With a single sword stroke, the blade's light arced like a rainbow, and a phantom of a Tongtian Sword Grass materialized. As the sword grass swayed, it severed all laws and shattered the void.

"Boom, rumble!"

In less than an instant, the axe light and the sword's radiance collided.

"Bang!"

A deafening roar thundered without end, and the entire small world trembled violently in that moment, as if it were about to revert to primordial chaos.
