High above, the sky seemed to tremble violently, as if about to collapse.
Xing Feng of the Xuanjian Sect saw Ye Kong's death below, and his attacks became even more ferocious. The three of them could hardly shake Xing Feng, while that Lu You single-handedly blocked the Sixth Realm cultivators?
And then there was the Li Mountain Sword Son. He knew that Teng Zijing had paid a great price to capture these people, with the main target being that young man. However, even though he had already overestimated the opponent, he still couldn't believe that his apprentice couldn't withstand a single sword strike.
Below on the battlefield, Xuanjian Sect cultivators saw Li Fan kill Ye Kong, and an elder coldly commanded, "Kill this boy."
He was Ye Kong's master, who had brought him into the Xuanjian Sect and nurtured him, watching Ye Kong grow into the sect's hope for the future.
Within the Xuanjian Sect, Ye Kong was a singular prodigy. All the sect's resources had been devoted to him, and he had never disappointed, about to break through to the Dao Body Realm. Once he entered this realm, he would surpass his teacher, who had always been proud to be Ye Kong's guide and had eagerly awaited this day.
But unexpectedly, their Xuanjian Sect's prodigy was wiped out here without even a chance to draw his sword. How cruel it was to him, to not even have a chance to draw his sword...
"Kill."
At this moment, the Xuanjian Sect sword cultivators were also burning with anger, and in a flash, numerous sword formation maps seemed to appear around Li Fan and Lu Yuan, with countless flying swords emerging from those diagrams to slaughter Li Fan and Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan moved her mind, transforming the area into her Sword Domain. As the Taiyin Sword Domain manifested, time and space seemed to freeze; the flying swords attacking them slowed significantly, especially those close to them, which almost came to a standstill.
Li Fan summoned the Star Sword Domain, sending giant swords toward various directions, smashing into the sword maps, causing them to collapse instantly.
As the sword maps collapsed, sword shadows whistled by like lightning and thunder, blood blossomed, and the Xuanjian Sect sword cultivators fell continuously, being instantly executed.
From afar, onlookers gazed at the battlefield, not wanting to miss any of the three battlefields.
"So this is the Li Mountain Sword Cultivator." They marveled inwardly. Lu You held the line alone, Li Fan and Lu Yuan fought one against a hundred, slaughtering opponents while besieged.
Killing like this, it wouldn't be long before the core strength of the Xuanjian Sect was decimated.
When the Dao Body Realm sword cultivators of the Xuanjian Sect saw their juniors being slaughtered, they frantically rushed toward that side. But regardless of who approached, Lu You would instantly arrive, and like the battlefield with Li Fan, any cultivator below the late Dao Body stage couldn't withstand even a single sword from Lu You.
"Hold him off, block his retreat together." Teng Zijing charged towards Lu You; if they couldn't stop Lu You, there would be no chance to capture Li Fan, who was the target of this battle.
From various directions around Lu You, figures advanced, their Dao Body Realm auras erupting simultaneously. Instantly, spells filled the sky, with stone monuments standing guard, sharp swords crossing the sky, and shield armor erected, intending to seal off this part of the world.
"Buzz..." Lu You's figure disappeared from the spot, transforming into a sword.
"Sword Array." A loud shout rang out, and in Lu You's path, swords severed the heavens, cutting off a space. Lu You appeared at the front, raising a hand to slash, cutting through the heavenly barriers.
"Retreat." Just as Lu You was about to proceed, Teng Zijing's figure appeared, a shield armor blocking the way, preventing Lu You's advance. Almost simultaneously, attacks from other directions reached, as the Sixth Realm Dao Body cultivators from three major forces intercepted Lu You.
"Move aside." In the battlefield with Li Fan and Lu Yuan, the Xuanjian Sect suffered heavy casualties. A loud shout echoed, and sword cultivators hurriedly stepped back as a beam of sword light shot straight at Li Fan.
People saw that the attacker was an elder, who attacked in anger, with his body seemingly transforming into an indestructible sword, charging straight ahead. Even before reaching, the Sword Intent had already arrived, overwhelming and encompassing Li Fan, trapping him in a world of swords.
"It's Elder Ge of the Xuanjian Sect, Ye Kong's master."
In Liuyue City, some cultivators recognized the dazzling sword; it was Ye Kong's guide, the elder from Xuanjian Sect, who had reportedly brought Ye Kong into the sect.
"Human Sword Unity, this sword harbors the intent to kill, the sword goes and does not return."
Everyone could feel the elder's resolve in that sword; perhaps the elder also knew he might not have the chance for a second strike. Many powerful entities joined forces to block Lu You's path, but with Lu You's might, they could only delay briefly.
But in this brief opportunity, he aimed to execute Li Fan.
The cultivators intercepting Lu You also sensed the situation here, pushing their powers to the limit, sealing the heavens, sparing no cost to stall Lu You.
Li Fan and Lu Yuan too felt the elder's resolve, as Lu You appeared behind Li Fan, her body rising, releasing rays of moonlight to the extreme, illuminating the elder. But faced with that resolute Sword Intent, the Power of Taiyin shattered; though a layer of frost covered the elder's body, turning his hair white, the Sword Intent showed no sign of abating. This sword was irrepressible, aiming surely to execute Li Fan.
Li Fan's qi and blood roared, like a dragon's roar. A golden True Dragon protected him, Sword Aura soaring into the sky, uniting with the Heavenly Sword.
At this moment, he seemed to enter a state of selflessness, with nothing but the sword. Even a Sword Dao halo appeared around him, merging with him like a Sword Array.
The next moment, Li Fan's body also transformed into a sword, just like the elder, merging man and sword, delivering a strike, the Heavenly Essence Sword Scripture's killing sword, Grey Ash.
The crowd saw two beams of light flash before their eyes, the dazzling sword rays stinging their eyes. In the next moment, the two figures had swapped positions, frozen in the sky.
It was impossible to discern the outcome of that clash, how they delivered those swords.
"Crack..." Li Fan's protective True Dragon was cut open and shattered, his defensive power obliterated under that sword. Countless eyes rested on him, wondering if this Li Mountain genius sword cultivator had perished under that sword.
The Dao Body Sword, Life-taking Sword, killing sword—how could a Condensed Pill cultivator withstand it?
The Xuanjian Sect people focused intently on Li Fan's form, and even Lu Yuan was slightly nervous until she saw the elder's aura rapidly weaken, his gaze dulling.
"Just one sword for me too." A trace of sorrow flashed in the elder's eyes. He had intended to avenge his disciple, unleashing a Life-taking Sword.
But in the end, the outcome was the same. That young sword cultivator from Li Mountain only used one sword.
"Li Mountain." The elder murmured softly, and as soon as he spoke, his body shattered into pieces, crushed by the Sword Intent, just as the sword's name declared, Grey Ash.
"Elder..." The Xuanjian Sect sword cultivators were terrified at the scene before them, while cultivators from afar stared intently at it.
The deceased, was it the Dao Body sword cultivator of Xuanjian Sect?
This sword overturned their understanding.
"Now it's your turn." As Li Fan's voice fell, Sword Aura soared to the skies. A Sword Formation Map appeared above him, and in the next instant, countless flying swords descended, piercing through, accompanied by endless cries. Who could withstand the might of his sword?
At this moment, everyone saw Li Fan standing in the void, surrounded by a Sword Dao halo, akin to a Sword Immortal reborn.
"What a sword."
A voice of praise sounded, as Lu You's sword tore through the defenses and emerged, accompanied by blood—a cultivator intercepting her was slain.
"No..."
A loud shout echoed from above, causing many hearts to tremble. They looked up to the heavens, only to see Xing Feng holding the Xuanjian Sect's sect master, Wang Zheng, in a single hand. Suddenly squeezing tightly, blood spurted out.
The sight before them made everyone's heart race wildly. That was a Great Sword Cultivator of the Seven Realms, the leader of the Xuanjian Sect, yet Xing Feng held him and crushed him to death alive. What a humiliating way to die.
"Xuanjian Sect is done for."
A thought appeared in the minds of many, from top to bottom, the Xuanjian Sect leader and their prodigious successors were all slain. After today, the Xuanjian Sect would follow in the footsteps of the Medicine Cleansing Lake.
Moreover, the fate of Liuyue Manor would likely be the same.
