Yun Cang Mountain Range, Cyan Cloud Peak.
Profound Sun Taoist looked at the thick stack of letter paper in his hand, an indescribable and complex expression on his face, "Truly an unparalleled prodigy!"
He lowered his head to look again.
June 28, Crane Immortal Mountain, 7:00 AM.
Over a thousand heroes gathered, voices resounded like thunder, Li Chungen arrived with more than a dozen clan elders, appearing leisurely and calm.
Before long, Tianyou arrived, alone, clad in a black robe with a jade belt, with a solemn expression, slowly ascending the mountain, surrounded by curious onlookers.
Li Chungen confronted him at the mountain peak, shouting to shake his opponent's resolve.
At that moment, the winds and clouds changed above the Nine Heavens, dark clouds rolled, lightning burst, and imminent heavy rain.
The crowd was in an uproar. Under such celestial phenomena, the Li Family's Wind and Thunder Thunderbolt Palm's power surged, on par with a Half-Step Celestial Human. Was this meant to be?
Li Chungen gathered wind and thunder with his palm, lightning ravaged, laughing aloud three times, "Heaven helps me!" With a palm strike, winds and clouds roared, thunder followed, astonishing the surrounding heroes with the overwhelming Celestial Might.
Zhao Tianyou wielded a steel spear, merely thrust it, flames swirled around the spear as if a dragon coiled, the spear's sharpness dissipated thunder and dispersed clouds, piercing a bloody hole in Li Chungen's hand.
Li Chungen was utterly terrified, suddenly drew a saber from his waist, the saber light gleamed like water rippling, furthermore enveloped by a layer of mist.
"I, the old man, created the Mother and Child Electric Light Saber Technique, forged this Treasure Saber with Exotic Iron, named Thunder Attraction, capable of channeling Nine Heavens' wind and thunder to the Lower Realm, the saber light purges demons, nothing can resist."
"Zhao Tianyou, if you are sensible, quickly surrender!"
Tianyou paid no mind, only raised his spear, vaguely a dragon's roar wailed, flames flared fiercely on the spear, then tore through the sky.
Li Chungen, with no choice, executed his self-created Secret Skill the Mother and Child Electric Light Saber Technique, channeling Nine Heavens' wind and thunder to the Lower Realm, electric lightning descended from the sky, striking down on the Treasure Saber.
In an instant, winds and clouds changed color, thunder roared, at the mountain peak, a scene of dazzling white, blinding to the eyes.
After the winds and clouds dissipated, the Thunder Attraction Saber fell to the ground, its glow gone, resembling scrap copper and rotten iron, devoid of sharpness.
Li Chungen was charred all over, yet still stood untoppled, holding onto his last breath, reluctant to leave.
Tianyou's robe remained undamaged, bearing the spear as he went, pierced through his head, causing instant death.
The heroes at the mountain peak were aghast, stunned silence reigned, it was long after Tianyou left that the clamor erupted, debate surged like tides, face flushed, refusing to believe.
Later, the news spread, people all said Tianyou killed Li Chungen with three spear strikes, shaking the world with fear.
...
The record of the Crane Immortal Mountain battle detailed in the letter, further appended with deductions of both parties' combat moves, cultivation techniques, realms, and evaluation of power.
Profound Sun Taoist had read this letter repeatedly, still found it unbelievable.
"If it were me, without a Divine Sword in hand, I would likely be killed with a single spear strike."
He knew very well, Li Chungen, borrowing the celestial phenomena's might, that strike absolutely reached the Half-Step Celestial Human Realm, if it were him, he'd have to retreat too.
But Lu Chengfeng countered it head-on, more importantly, the letter plainly stated, his robe remained undamaged.
This result truly astonishes people!
As for the subsequent battle at the Central Capital with the Li family, it was a naked massacre, no one could withstand Lu Chengfeng's single spear strike, leaving a river of blood in his wake.
Thus the outcome for the Li family, in the eyes of various factions, was simply summed up with two words, clan extinction.
"Unparalleled martial arts, ruthless and cunning!" Profound Sun Taoist murmured. He didn't know much about Lu Chengfeng, merely from what the letter paper reflected, revealing a monstrous talent, extraordinary martial arts, and a ruthless hero.
Especially after Lu Chengfeng entered the Ten Thousand Forms Massacre, everyone knew fierce battles occurred, yet no one knew the konkr height.
"Did he actually meet with the Heaven-Suppressing King?"
"What did the two talk about?"
Since receiving the news, Profound Sun Taoist has been tossing and turning for days, unable to sleep, filled with contradictions and struggles.
"If I hand over the Dragon-Binding Rope, with Lu Chengfeng's cultivation and strength, he could dictate the life and death of my Yuncang Sword Sect. Even if not acknowledged as the Sect Leader, he effectively holds the position, it would just be self-deception."
"Therefore, if this person controls the Dragon-Binding Rope, my Yuncang Sword Sect inevitably has to revere him as Sect Leader."
"But can this person truly be trusted?"
He paced back and forth, deep in unease.
"In a few more two-hours, he and Zhu Yuxian will reach Yun Cang, both master and disciple have achieved Half-Step Celestial Human. Should they harbor ill intentions, my Yuncang Sword Sect's thousand-year legacy would fall into the hands of villains."
"Well, this matter shouldn't be decided by me alone."
Unable to make a decision, he sighed and headed to Yellow Dragon Peak.
Upon reaching Yellow Dragon Peak, he met the Withered Bamboo elder, expressing all his worries.
The Withered Bamboo elder, however, showed no concern, only speaking calmly, "At this moment of the Sect's survival, focus should be on the legacy. As long as the legacy of the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword is passed on, they are my Yun Cang disciples."
"As for who he is, what background he has, it doesn't matter."
"How can that be?" Profound Sun Taoist frowned upon hearing this, "If the Sect's legacy falls into villainous hands, how could we face the ancestors of the Sect?"
The Withered Bamboo elder glanced at him, "What is righteousness? What is evil? What is villainy? What is benevolence?"
"We are all people of the Martial World, whose hands are unstained with blood? Yun Cang Sword Sect, in our hands, also divides Liangzhou and scours its resources to supply the mountain."
