Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 141 Find it
The two practiced swordplay under a plum tree. There was no outward sword energy, only sword intent.

Li Fan comprehended the wind and thunder sword intent, and the speed of each sword was extremely fast. The sword intent that Lu Yuan comprehended was the ice sword intent, and when the sword was swung, it brought a biting chill.

Lu Yuan's sword technique is the Jingchao Sword Technique. When the sword energy surges, one sword is stronger than the other. When the sword passed in front of Li Fan, frost appeared between Li Fan's brows.

Her attack was fierce, but the danger of the clash of swords was only between the two of them and did not spread out to affect the surroundings. Of course, the two were confident that they could control it at will.

Lu Yuan attacked with a strong sword technique, but Li Fan seemed to have only one fast sword technique, and each of his sword strikes was just right, cutting through the sword force formed by Lu Yuan and interrupting the Jingchao sword technique.

Lu Yuan seemed to be really angry, with a hint of stubbornness on her delicate face, and her attacks became more fierce and serious.

"Yang Qingshan, you only have one sword?" Lu Yuan said.

"it is good."

Li Fan responded, and the wind and thunder sword cut off the sword force with one sword, and slashed with one word.

Lu Yuan's body spun, and the sword's power rose again, rushing towards Li Fan like a tide.

This time, Li Fan's sword did not break. As soon as the sword light fell, he leaned forward, swept his arm across, and the sword light flashed, like a sword of parting, heartbreaking.

Ji Xue was watching the battle from the side. At this moment, she couldn't help but restrain her thoughts and watch the battle seriously.

What a domineering swordsmanship.

Li Fan stopped defending and launched an attack. Every time he swung his sword, it seemed as if he gathered the power of the previous sword.

The sword whistles, the sword light is cold, and it hurts the separation.

The plum blossoms fall and dance in the air, so beautiful.

"Good swordsmanship." Qu Qingfeng stood not far away and praised in a low voice, with Aunt Mei beside him.

"This sword technique seems to contain emotions, as if it is telling the hatred of parting, and it reveals a sense of determination." Aunt Mei murmured. Although she did not practice sword technique, she could feel the emotions in the sword.

"Indeed, the person who created this sword technique must have had an unforgettable experience." Qu Qingfeng responded, "And his previous sword should have been an independent sword, with only one style, but it was a sword technique in itself. However, that sword perfectly connected with the subsequent sword techniques, as if it was just the beginning of the sword techniques that followed. It was exquisite and ingenious."

With a "puff" sound, the sword fell, and Li Fan and Lu Yuan's bodies separated.

A piece of Lu Yuan's sleeve fell off, and she looked down.

The sword stopped, but the sword intent still lingered where the two were. The plum blossoms fell from the plum tree, and combined with the previous sword technique, it gave people a sense of poignancy and beauty.

Lu Yuan looked at Li Fan with her beautiful eyes. As far as she knew, Li Fan inherited three swords in the Sword Valley. This sword technique should be one of the three swords, carrying the meaning of farewell.

Li Fan's sword contains emotions and he has a deep understanding of the sword, as if he has integrated his emotions into the sword.

So, is he also sad about the separation?

Li Fan also had a lot of thoughts. The Lihen Sword represented separation.

The most brilliant swordsmanship is when there is emotion hidden in the sword; this is the true meaning of sword.

He couldn't help but think of the old blind man and his senior brothers and sisters.

I don’t know how the old blind man is doing. I wonder if he will be uncomfortable without me to take care of him.

Senior sister has returned to the palace. How is she doing?

Senior brother went to Chixiao City, but he is fine.

"Why are there two different sword techniques, yet they connect perfectly?" Lu Yuan asked.

"The predecessors who created these two sword techniques were a master and his disciple. The former was the master and taught the latter the swordsmanship. Later, the master abandoned his disciple and the disciple created this sword, the Sword of Farewell." Li Fan responded.

As for the history that happened many years ago in Lishan, probably only a few people know about it, even those above Lishan.

He learned about this history because he was taught the sword art by two predecessors.

One day in the future, when he truly becomes the 'Master of Lishan Sword', he will carve the deeds of his ancestors on a monument for future generations of disciples to admire and remember.

"So that's how it is." Lu Yuan said in a low voice. She didn't know the story of Senior Li Shan.

However, the swords of her ancestors that she inherited also have stories, but Lu Yuan has only grasped the basics of the swordsmanship they taught her until today.

The way of the sword can be described in two simple words, but it is the way that sword practitioners have comprehended throughout their lives.

Whether it is her or Li Fan, they are just following in the footsteps of their predecessors. In the future, they will also need to comprehend their own swordsmanship. Only then can they be considered as truly top-level sword practitioners.

"Wonderful."

Qu Qingfeng walked forward with a smile on his face.

"Excuse me, sir." Lu Yuan bowed to Qu Qingfeng.

"We'll meet each other soon. Don't be so reserved. If you don't mind, just treat me as an older friend." Qu Qingfeng said with a smile, and looked at Li Fan again: "This sword art may seem like a ruthless sword, but it is full of emotions. The sword is ruthless, but the person is affectionate. The person who can comprehend this sword art must be a top-level sword cultivator."

Li Fan nodded. Qu Qingfeng was a cultivator in the sixth realm, already a great cultivator, so there was no need to doubt his vision.

He even speculated that Qu Qingfeng might have guessed where he and Lu Yuan came from.

But he could feel Qu Qingfeng's friendliness, so he came to live here.

“The sword is a weapon of killing and a heartless thing, but the person who wields the sword is affectionate.” Qu Qingfeng looked at the dancing plum blossoms. He raised his hand and spun his palm slightly. Suddenly a breeze blew, and plum blossoms danced all over the sky, forming a cyclone.

Qu Qingfeng waved his hand, and suddenly the plum blossoms in the sky suddenly showed a strong killing intent. Every petal seemed to turn into a sharp blade, and the swirling plum blossoms rolled towards Li Fan and Lu Yuan. The two felt that they were in a desperate situation. Qu Qingfeng waved his hand again, and the swirling plum blossoms turned into a sword, circling around the two of them, and then whistled into the air, blooming in the sky, and turned into petals flying and falling.

"What a beautiful sword." Lu Yuan said in her heart. She looked at Qu Qingfeng, as if she could feel Qu Qingfeng's yearning for beauty from the plum blossom sword, as if he was full of emotions for the world.

"Everything in the world is inanimate, but because of the existence of humans, humans have emotions, and everything in the world also has emotions. The same is true for swords. When you practice swords, you are not just practicing swords. One day, your emotions will be integrated into the sword, and the sword will have emotions and souls. At that time, you can be called a great sword cultivator."

Qu Qingfeng spoke in a gentle voice, speaking in a leisurely manner.

Li Fan and Lu Yuan listened attentively, Ji Xue beside them also listened attentively, and even Liu Ji looked up and listened quietly.

"Sword Soul!"

Li Fan recalled the sword soul in the sword when he inherited the sword art.

The sword had feelings, and thus the sword soul was born.

That's so.

Li Fan and Lu Yuan saluted Qu Qingfeng at the same time. Although they were not master and disciple, Qu Qingfeng was teaching them the Tao.

And they could feel Qu Qingfeng's emotions towards everything in the world.

Perhaps it is because of this that he has such magnanimity and is able to reach his current level of cultivation.

Every great practitioner has other outstanding qualities besides his or her natural talent.

From the fifth realm to the sixth realm, it must be a hurdle.

"Mr. Qu."

At this time, a voice came from outside, and Qu Qingfeng said, "Come in."

A student from the academy walked into the courtyard, glanced at Li Fan and Lu Yuan, and then said to Qu Qingfeng: "Sir, someone is looking for Yang Qingshan outside the academy, claiming that he wants to have a fight with him. Many people on Bailu Street came here after hearing the news, and many people have gathered outside the academy at the moment."

"Oh?" Qu Qingfeng's consciousness went outwards and saw the situation outside the academy. He asked, "Who is that woman?"

"Xiao Qiang, the daughter of Xiao Yu, the leader of the Huangji Sect, the top sect in Yunmeng City." The visitor said, "She said she wanted to join the academy to practice and to have a discussion with Yang Qingshan."

"Huangji Sect." Qu Qingfeng had heard of this sect, but the academy did not care much about the affairs of the outside world, and those who taught there would not pursue fame and fortune.

Qu Qingfeng looked at Li Fan and said, "You decide for yourself."

Li Fan felt somewhat helpless. People are afraid of becoming famous. Now that Yunmeng City already knows him, he wonders if this kind of thing will happen again in the future.

As for the Huangji Sect, he had never heard of it and did not care too much about it.

"I'll go take a look."

Li Fan said something and walked outside. Lu Yuan followed him, and Ji Xue followed behind.

It was very lively outside the Bailu Academy at this time. The arrival of Xiao Qiang from the Huangji Sect was a grand event, which alarmed the crowd on Bailu Street, and they all came to the outside of the academy to stop and watch.

However, they did not think that Xiao Qiang was qualified to compete with Yang Qingshan, but they also wanted to see Yang Qingshan's style.

It is said that this man is less than eighteen years old, young and handsome, with extraordinary talent.

Many students from Bailu Academy also came here, and Yun Zhiqiu was among the crowd. He looked at Xiao Qiang's arrival with a very complicated feeling. At this moment, he naturally understood that he had been fooled.

But he didn’t understand what the Huangji Sect wanted to do.
They deliberately inquired about Yang Qingshan's news, but then spread the news. Now, Xiao Qiang came to the academy to challenge Yang Qingshan again. He was a little confused.

Xiao Qiang looked around the crowd, not even stopping for a moment on him, as if she didn't know him at all.

Although he knew that he was being fooled, seeing Xiao Qiang's attitude, Yun Zhiqiu still felt angry in his heart, as if he had been humiliated. The Huangji Sect was going too far.

"Yang Qingshan is here."

"Miss Xiao, at what level of cultivation do you have to dare to challenge Yang Qingshan? Are you trying to get close to Yang Qingshan on purpose?"

"Is Huangji Sect looking for a son-in-law?" Many people joked.

"I'm afraid there's no chance. Look who's next to Yang Qingshan."

"Lu Yuan."

Li Fan, Lu Yuan and others came over here and their eyes fell on Xiao Qiang. They saw that she was full of heroic spirit and her eyes were aggressive as she looked at Li Fan.

"Are you Yang Qingshan?" Xiao Qiang asked Li Fan.

"Miss, do you have something to talk to me about?" Li Fan asked.

"I want to have a discussion with you." Xiao Qiang said.

"Sorry, Yang is not interested in this." Li Fan said.

"Om..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp energy falling on him. Xiao Qiang's body disappeared from the spot and stabbed straight at him with a sharp sword in her hand.

"Wow..." There were exclamations from all around. The daughter of the Huangji Sect had such a strong personality.

Li Fan was somewhat displeased. Such behavior was somewhat rude.
