Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion Chapter 97 – Treasures of heaven and earth, blood stains the

Whether Senior Brother He is a good person or not, ng Fan doesn't know.

But he feels that Liu Yanping's judgnt of character is really not great.

Anyway, Nie Bing and Jiang Poyue are definitely not good people!

ng Fan did not tell Liu Yanping and Li Xuerou about the coffin he saw beneath the grand hall.

Nor did he tell them that he had blasted Nie Bing into smithereens.

Liu Yanping is a blabbermouth; telling her would just be asking for trouble, and ng Fan isn't foolish enough to do that.

As for Li Xuerou, why bother telling her?

If she can't handle it psychologically, it would just add to her worries unnecessarily.

The disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect began to disperse, leaving the forest behind.

The journey ahead saw so traveling alone, while others ford groups of three or five.

As for ng Fan, Li Xuerou, and Liu Yanping, they naturally continued to travel together.

Three days later, the trio found themselves in a valley.

During these three days, they wandered aimlessly, encountering a demon here and there, slaying a total of thirteen.

As expected, after leaving the forest, the chances of encountering demons had greatly decreased.

ng Fan didn't even get a chance to make a move; all thirteen demons were slain by Li Xuerou and Liu Yanping.

But for such low-level demons, he couldn't be bothered to lift a finger.

Without a boss-level entity like the giant white snake, it would be a waste for ng Fan to act!

"ng Fan, look at the pond ahead."

As they walked through the valley, Li Xuerou suddenly called out to ng Fan.

Following her gaze, ng Fan saw a shimring pond with a row of lotus leaves on the surface.

On one of the leaves, there blood a lotus flower.

This lotus, unsullied by the mud from which it grew, was clearly extraordinary and belonged to the category of heavenly treasures.

"This lotus flower is a treasure!" ng Fan's eyes lit up.

This was obvious, and without him saying so, Liu Yanping and Li Xuerou also knew it was valuable.

"ng Fan, look closely. There's a shadow at the bottom of the pond, seems like a demon is entrenched there," Liu Yanping remarked, noticing sothing unusual at the bottom of the pond.

ng Fan nodded and said, "It's normal for demons to guard heavenly treasures. Isn't it our task to clear out these beasts?"

If ng Fan and the demon's roles were reversed, then at this mont, ng Fan would be the classic "murderer and looter."

After all, the lotus flower had always been guarded by the demon and rightfully belonged to it.

But ng Fan is human, and the demon is a demon; it's only natural for humans to slay demons.

Just as it's natural for demons to consu humans!

So ng Fan had no qualms about "murdering and looting."

"Senior Sister Li, you made a move last ti; it's my turn now!" Liu Yanping said to Li Xuerou with a smile.

After spending the past few days together, Liu Yanping and Li Xuerou had beco much closer, and she was no longer as reserved as before.

Li Xuerou nodded and said, "Don't worry, since we agreed to take turns, I won't compete with you."

Liu Yanping excitedly headed towards the pond.

But ng Fan reached out and stopped her, saying, "Xuerou may have agreed to let you act, but I haven't."

Liu Yanping turned around, looking at ng Fan in surprise.

"Aren't you too disdainful to bother competing with us?"

ng Fan shook his head and said, "I may disdain to act, but I can't just watch you go to your death."

Liu Yanping frowned and asked, "Do you think I'm no match for the demon underwater?"

Her first instinct was to refute ng Fan, even to take offense, feeling that ng Fan looked down on her.

But out of trust in ng Fan, she suppressed that reaction.

Because she was very clear, ng Fan wouldn't deceive or play with her in this regard.

If ng Fan said so, then it was highly likely she really was no match for the demon!

"Be bold and remove the word 'think'," ng Fan said with a smile.

Then he stepped past Liu Yanping and approached the pond.

The Hong Qi Sword was drawn, and a burst of Sword Qi blossod in the void.

【Sword Cos】

This Sword Qi swept past the lotus's stem, severing the flower and its roots.

Then, the Sword Qi drew the lotus towards ng Fan.

Li Xuerou and Liu Yanping watched this scene, dumbfounded. Although they knew ng Fan was strong and had been surprised by his actions ti and again.

They thought they could remain calm and accept whatever amazing feats ng Fan perford.

But this scene still left them unable to stay composed, utterly astonished.

Was this the behavior of soone whose cultivation level had been sealed?

To be honest, even if their cultivation wasn't sealed, Li Xuerou and Liu Yanping felt they couldn't pull off such a flashy move.

"ng Fan, you're like the next Kuang Tianyou of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect!" Liu Yanping murmured to herself, looking at ng Fan with respect.

Kuang Tianyou!

He was a legend among the young disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

Unfortunately...

While Liu Yanping and Li Xuerou were still in shock, the pond suddenly exploded, and a water dragon soared into the sky.

The lotus, which had been drifting towards ng Fan under the influence of the Sword Qi, was shaken by the imnse force of the water dragon's ergence and fell back into the pond.

At the sa ti, ng Fan's Sword Qi was completely shattered!

The next second, a four-ter-long green serpent burst out of the water dragon, charging at ng Fan.

This green serpent, though smaller than the giant white python they had encountered in the forest, was no less powerful, perhaps even stronger.

Size is not the only asure of a demon's strength.

"Both of you, stay back a bit!" ng Fan called out to Liu Yanping and Li Xuerou behind him.

At the sa ti, he slashed fiercely at the approaching green serpent with the Hong Qi Sword.

Demon-Slaying Sword Montum!

Mountain Splitting Sword Montum!

Thunderous Sword Montum!

The three Sword Montums combined into the sa strike that had slain the giant white python.

ng Fan's expression was calm, showing little reaction.

The green serpent might be sowhat stronger than the giant white python, but he had already slain the fox demon in the grand hall, so why fear this serpentine creature?

To be fair, that demoness was close to the Demon King realm.

And this green serpent was far from it!

The Hong Qi Sword descended, its blade stained with blood. ng Fan stood firm, sword in hand, while the green serpent let out a mournful cry and fell back into the pond.

Monts later, the pond was dyed red with blood.

The lotus stood in the blood-red pond, no longer as pure and untainted as before.

In the reflection of the blood, the lotus appeared seductively enchanting.

Then, under ng Fan's watchful eye, the lotus floated up from the pond on its own and landed at his feet.

This ti, ng Fan didn't make a move.

It was the green serpent that took the initiative, delivering the lotus to him.

It was a plea for rcy.

A gesture of apology!

Hoping that ng Fan would spare its life.
