"Cough..."
Xiao Jin was blasted to the ground, spitting blood. If he hadn’t summoned a magical treasure for defense at the crucial mont, this sword strike would have cost him his life.
His face was pale, despairingly raising his head to look at the golden giant sword sprawled across the sky. The continuous flow of radiant sword qi made him feel powerless; he couldn’t withstand Li Fan’s sword.
A Sword Cultivator at the Initial Stage of Condensed Core made him feel helpless.
"Is this the sword of your West Fla Island Sword Cultivators? A sword that only knows how to bully the weak? A worthless sword?" Li Fan questioned repeatedly, and the surrounding cultivators were speechless.
This Yang Qingshan was too overbearing and domineering. A Condensed Core Sword Cultivator had suppressed West Fla Island to this extent — it was indeed an eye-opener.
Moreover, Li Fan had already challenged any Condensed Core cultivator of West Fla Island. Surely, West Fla Island couldn’t send out a Sixth Realm Sword Cultivator?
If they did, where would West Fla Island’s face be?
"Why is it like this?" A voice called out loudly from a distance, and Li Fan looked up to see none other than Yuwen Jing, who had previously slain the Jiao Dragon. His cultivation in the Golden Brilliance Sword Intent was invincible, and his combat power was extrely strong.
Beside him were several Sword Cultivators, including the head disciple of the Island Master of West Fla Island, Kong Zhou. Clearly, this group was the core disciples of West Fla Island.
Kong Zhou looked distressed. On that day at the Demon Slaying Summit, he had been disgraced by Li Fan. Now, here in the West Emperor Palace, would Li Fan trample on West Fla Island’s dignity again?
"Kong Zhou, Yuwen Jing, and Xiang Liufeng." Everyone looked at that group, knowing that Yuwen Jing and Xiang Liufeng were top-level genius Sword Cultivators of West Fla Island.
Xiang Liufeng wanted to control his sword and move forward, but Yuwen Jing reached out to stop him, shook his head, and then stepped forward, looking at Li Fan and said, "I just heard what happened here. My junior brothers spoke improperly and injured your friends. They were in the wrong."
Yuwen Jing actually admitted his mistake!
Everyone was taken aback, feeling a chill in their hearts.
"Senior Brother." Xiang Liufeng looked at him, sowhat confused.
But Yuwen Jing lowered his head to look at Xiao Jin and the others, saying, "The Sword Dao of the world does not belong to West Sea’s West Fla Island alone. West Fla Island entering the world and challenging the world’s swords should have a fearless determination but should not be arrogant. We should take this lesson to heart and reflect deeply."
Li Fan looked at Yuwen Jing. This person seed pretty decent, and his impression of him was fairly good.
It seed not everyone at West Fla Island was so unbearable; different people ultimately practice different swords.
"Brother Yang’s talent in Sword Dao is extraordinary. I’m curious whether you hail from the Imperial City’s Sword Dao forces or from Chi Xiao City’s Sword Dao forces?"
Yuwen Jing asked, for Li Fan’s sword was mighty and imposing, making it feel like its origins were extraordinary. However, he did not ntion Li Mountain, simply because few disciples from Li Mountain had traveled outside. Those who had were all Great Sword Cultivators.
The sword of Li Mountain, once it appears, must make a na for itself throughout the world.
Li Fan was too young.
So, he first thought of the forces of the Da Li Imperial City’s Sword Dao, such as the Lingxiao Pavilion, or perhaps the Sword Dao families, or even the Sword Dao forces of Chi Xiao City.
Everyone looked at Li Fan, having had their suspicions before. Now that even Yuwen Jing ntioned it, they knew Li Fan’s origin might be higher than they had imagined.
Is this why he was unwilling to enter the West Emperor Palace?
Perhaps, he didn’t care for the opportunity to practice in the West Emperor Palace at all.
"Or perhaps, the successor of the Sword Saint List?" Yuwen Jing continued, "I’ve heard that Gu Jinghong already has a successor..."
Gu Jinghong, ranked tenth on the Sword Saint List, practices in seclusion in the West Sea, pursuing higher realms of the Sword Dao.
There had been so news about Gu Jinghong before. Could Yang Qingshan be related to Gu Jinghong?
"This matter has nothing to do with identity and has no relation to who I am," Li Fan replied calmly, neither denying nor admitting it.
Yuwen Jing speculated about many forces, but not Li Mountain. Why was that?
Li Fan didn’t know, nor did he care. He would vindicate the na of Li Mountain’s sword.
The sword of Li Mountain would stand at the pinnacle of Da Li under heaven.
"Indeed." Yuwen Jing nodded. He looked down at the injured Luo Qingyan and ng Hong, slightly cupping his hands, "I apologize on behalf of my junior brothers."
Luo Qingyan was quite impressed by Yuwen Jing’s deanor and glanced at Kong Zhou and others by his side. Although she knew Li Fan was a Li Mountain Sword Cultivator, this was ultimately the West Sea, within the influence of West Fla Island. Li Mountain was too far away, and she didn’t wish for Li Fan to form a deadly enmity with West Fla Island, as that would ultimately be a hidden danger.
"It’s fine; let this matter end here. Just teach your junior brothers properly in the future. Don’t be conceited, thinking yourselves invincible, as it ultimately disgraces West Fla Island." Luo Qingyan said to Li Fan, "Qingshan brother, let it be."
Li Fan looked down at Luo Qingyan. She was wise and certainly didn’t want him to offend West Fla Island to the death.
Even ng Hong nodded slightly at him, all thinking of his well-being.
Li Fan glanced at Xiao Jin below, then looked at Yuwen Jing, and said nothing more.
Yuwen Jing added, "Today, after witnessing Brother Yang’s sword, my heart is restless. Since I have the chance today, Yuwen Jing from West Fla Island seeks a sword duel here. It is unrelated to any grudges, purely a test of swords."
The crowd showed a hint of astonishnt at his words.
Yuwen Jing, after apologizing, sought a sword duel.
Is it to justify the reputation of West Fla Island’s Sword Cultivators?
But regardless of whether that was the reason, at least Yuwen Jing was open and honest, stating it was unrelated to any grudges.
As for whether he had the intention to uphold the reputation of West Fla Island Sword Cultivators, that remains unknown.
"Please teach ." Li Fan replied calmly, appearing particularly serene and accepting.
"Thank you." Yuwen Jing nodded, and imdiately those around revealed expressions of excitent.
Though Yuwen Jing was also at the Mid Stage of Condensed Core, his combat power was extrely strong, having slain a peak Fifth Realms Jiao Dragon.
Li Fan’s combat strength naturally needed no further ntion, being extrely formidable.
Whose sword among these two would be sharper?
Moreover, Yuwen Jing’s Sword Dao, Golden Brilliance Sword Intent, was actually sowhat similar to what Li Fan cultivated.
"Please."
As Yuwen Jing’s voice fell, he controlled his sword upward, heading into the sky.
Li Fan glanced up, stepping on his sword, following closely behind.
"Let’s go."
The surrounding cultivators swiftly ascended into the sky.
High above, the two figures stood against each other. Yuwen Jing’s thoughts moved, and in the sky, golden sword aura flowed between heaven and earth, brilliantly resplendent and extrely sharp.
"Brother Yang, I cultivate the Golden Brilliance Sword Intent. Observing your sword, it’s surprisingly a similar Sword Dao. I’ll use the Golden Brilliance to feel it out, to see whose sword is sharper, shall we?"
As Yuwen Jing’s voice fell, a golden Divine Sword also appeared in the sky, countless golden streams flowing around the Divine Sword, each golden stream seed to be infused with intense sharpness.
"Glad to accompany."
Li Fan responded, a thought stirred, and the golden gigantic sword traversed the heavens, the Sky Vaulting Sword howled, resonating with the grand path, on the sword body, each rune shimred.
"Golden Brilliance Sword Intent, indestructible, unbreakable, is the ultimate slaughtering Sword Dao. Brother Yang, be careful." Yuwen Jing reminded, a golden storm stirred in the sky, the radiant sword light seed to pierce the eyes.
"My Sword Dao is not just about the sharpness of Geng tal, you be careful too." Li Fan responded, which caused those watching to click their tongues in wonder. These two, while discussing swords, were so candid, even warning each other.
They intended to carry out a dignified and honorable attack and defense in their sword duel.
"Good." Yuwen Jing nodded, neither made a redundant move, controlling their swords, in the sky, two golden Divine Swords crossed the void, colliding in midair.
A golden hurricane arose in the sky, at the mont the two Divine Swords collided and intersected, boom... a terrifyingly sharp intent surged into Li Fan, his Sea of Consciousness seed to be engulfed by the Golden Brilliance storm, that sharp intent penetrated through the Divine Sword falling onto the Sword Seed, thereby entering his Sea of Consciousness.
But almost simultaneously, Yuwen Jing’s mind violently shook, just as Li Fan had said, the Sword Intent he sensed besides the extre sharpness of the Geng tal Sword Intent, there was also a massive heaviness, like a Divine Sword of the grand path pressing down heaven and earth, in his Sea of Consciousness, a golden Divine Sword like a star executed, crushing everything, his Divine Soul trembled, everything within the Divine Soul constantly collapsing and breaking.
Externally, his golden Divine Sword still flowed with extrely sharp golden streams, but the Divine Sword was collapsing and shattering, as if continuously breaking.
Finally, a cracking sound echoed, the golden sword light dazzling, the Divine Sword collapsed, a trace of golden stream flew back, Yuwen Jing’s brow quivered as he looked at the figure opposite, saying, "Your sword far exceeds mine."
He wasn’t referring to Li Fan’s strength far exceeding his, even if in real combat, he still believed he wouldn’t lose, this was his confidence as a Sword Cultivator.
However, his ’sword’ had lost, and lost very thoroughly.
Li Fan’s ’Sword Dao’ far surpassed his, it was a crushing by the Dao, he was not as good as Li Fan.
Those around felt waves in their hearts upon hearing this, Yuwen Jing, what an outstanding talent, yet he claid that Li Fan’s sword was far superior to his.
