Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 142 The Demon King Wants Someone
A wave of heat rushed towards Li Fan, and the sword energy was like fire, carrying blazing flames.

Li Fan looked at the sharp sword coming at him, with displeasure on his face. He glanced at the other party and raised his hand to point forward.

There was sword intent lingering between Li Fan's fingers, which turned into a sharp sword and collided with Xiao Qiang's sword, causing the sword to emit a ringing sound.

"Buzz..." A wave of fire rushed towards Li Fan, trying to drown him. The sword energy flowed around Li Fan and turned into a sword energy light curtain, blocking the erosion of the fire wave.

Li Fan pointed his fingers forward and clamped Xiao Qiang's sword.

Xiao Qiang frowned and waved her arms, and the sword in her hand vibrated. Li Fan's fingers slid forward along the sword, and brilliant sword light burst out from between her fingers. A sense of crisis came over her, and Xiao Qiang retreated instantly, but saw Li Fan's fingers sweep past, and sword energy slashed out through the air.

Xiao Qiang only felt a chill on her face. A piece of her hair was cut off and fell down. She lowered her head to look, then reached out and touched her neck. There was a very shallow trace of blood there.

There was a cheer outside Bailu Academy.

Someone was just watching the fun and laughed loudly, "Miss Xiao, it seems that there is a huge gap between you and Yang Qingshan. You are asking for trouble."

"Young Master Yang killed a demon with one sword. That night, the big demon from the four realms went to seek revenge on Ji Feng, but was also killed by Young Master Yang. He has long been invincible in this realm. Although Miss Xiao is very talented, it is a bit difficult for her to challenge Young Master Yang..."

"That's right. In Yunmeng City, Young Master Yang has long been unrivaled in this realm. Miss Xiao knows this, but still comes to challenge him. I'm afraid she has other intentions."

Many people laughed along, and speculated that Xiao Qiang might have ulterior motives.

Xiao Qiang turned around and glanced at everyone, then said, "I'm not here to challenge you. What? Does anyone have any objections?"

As she spoke, she exuded a heroic spirit that made many people shut up, but laughter still rang out from the back of the crowd: "So fierce, worthy of being the daughter of the Huangji Sect. If she didn't come here to challenge, she wouldn't be here to find a successor for the Huangji Sect, right?"

"Hahaha, could it be that Sect Leader Xiao is looking for a son-in-law?"

Xiao Qiang glared at the crowd, then she looked at Li Fan and said, "Your swordsmanship is so amazing. After I enter the academy, can I learn swordsmanship from you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a burst of boos from outside.

What kind of challenge is this? As expected, huh...

The Huangji Sect is the top sect in Yunmeng City. The sect leader Xiao Yu has a very strong cultivation base. The daughter of the Huangji Sect is said to be very ambitious and now she has taken the initiative to come to the academy to find Yang Qingshan.

It is true that beauties love heroes. A romantic figure like Yang Qingshan will never lack beauties around him. Look, Lu Yuan is standing next to him now. Does Xiao Qiang want to interfere?
Li Fan ignored Xiao Qiang and turned away.

This woman came to challenge him, drew her sword without his consent, and now wants to learn sword from him. It's inexplicable.

He had no feelings towards the so-called Huangji Sect, the top sect in Yunmeng City.

As for whether Xiao Qiang had other purposes, he was not interested.

The crowd around them burst into noise when they saw Li Fan turn around and leave, causing Xiao Qiang to stand there awkwardly. She looked at Li Fan's back and said, "Are you being a little rude?"

"You broke into Bailu Academy and came to provoke me. Isn't that rude?" Ji Xue replied. Xiao Qiang looked at her and asked, "Who are you?"

"A student from Bailu Academy." Ji Xue responded.

"Watch out for the sword." Xiao Qiang shouted coldly and attacked Ji Xue. Ji Xue was stunned and a look of displeasure flashed in her beautiful eyes. This woman was too rude.

She also drew her sword, and the two of them actually fought each other, causing the onlookers to cheer.

Are these two beautiful women jealous of each other?
"You are being presumptuous." At this time, Ji Ran walked over here, and seeing Xiao Qiang launching a fierce attack on Ji Xue, he could not help but scold her. He stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Qiang's sword, saying coldly, "White Deer Academy is not a place for you to be presumptuous."

"Who are you?" Xiao Qiang wanted to draw the sword, but the other party's hand was very strong. Ji Ran slapped the sword with his palm, causing Xiao Qiang to retreat backwards.

"This is Bailu Academy, not your Huangji Sect." Ji Ran said coldly. So what if it is the top sect in Yunmeng City? Bailu Academy is the holy place of Jiangzhou.

"I want to practice in Bailu Academy, so I will follow the assessment rules of the academy." Xiao Qiang said. Ji Ran wanted to say something, but heard a voice from afar: "Then take her there."

Ji Ran snorted coldly and said to Xiao Qiang: "Follow me."

Xiao Qiang followed behind Ji Ran, and her beautiful eyes did not forget to glance at Ji Xue.

She followed Ji Ran, but she was thinking that Yang Qingshan was aloof and difficult to approach. Her father asked her to find out Yang Qingshan's identity, which might take some effort.

Li Fan returned to the courtyard, and Qu Qingfeng asked him, "What happened?"

"I don't know." Li Fan shook his head: "The daughter of the leader of the Huangji Sect came to challenge, but I saw that she had no intention of fighting. Most likely she had some other intentions."

"I've heard a little about Huangji Sect. In the past few decades in Yunmeng City, it has annexed many forces." Qu Qingfeng said, "Yunmeng City is different from other cities in Jiangzhou. People here come from all over the place. It's a mixed crowd, and the fighting is fierce. The leader of Huangji Sect was able to rise in a few decades and annex various forces to become a top sect. In addition to his own strong strength, he must also control a lot of resources behind him."

"What do you mean, sir?" Li Fan looked at Qu Qingfeng.

"A gentleman has no intention of harming others, but he must always be on guard against others." Qu Qingfeng said, "The leader of the Huangji Sect came here alone to establish the sect. His background is complicated, at least not as simple as it appears on the surface. That woman, being the daughter of the leader of the Huangji Sect, must not be as she appears." "Thank you for your advice, sir." Li Fan nodded. He also felt that Xiao Qiang was somewhat clever. After listening to Qu Qingfeng's analysis, the Huangji Sect itself had a complicated background.

Then Xiao Qiang came to challenge him, probably for other purposes, perhaps, to get closer to him.

Li Fan thought of one thing: Is the exposure of Yang Qingshan’s identity related to this incident?

If there is a connection, he really needs to be extra careful.

So far, he has not heard any news from the court.

Yunmeng City is not subject to the control of the imperial court. It is a city built spontaneously by practitioners to resist the demons in Yunmengze. So will the imperial court infiltrate Yunmeng City in other ways?
For example, sect, family.

If the Huangji Sect really has a court background, then Xiao Qiang came to Bailu Academy most likely to investigate his identity.

It seems that we should have less contact with each other in the future.

Lu Yuan beside him looked at Li Fan's profile. Li Fan had planned to leave that day, but his identity happened to be exposed and he could not leave.

Even if you want to leave now, it may not be that easy. The big monster in Yunmengze is probably watching you outside.

Not long after, news came from Bailu Academy that Xiao Qiang had passed the assessment of Bailu Academy and was allowed to practice in Bailu Academy.

At the same time, in a restaurant in Yunmeng City, a man in a gorgeous robe was drinking alone.

He stared at the distance, where was the location of Bailu Academy.

Although he already knew who the mysterious man was, the other party was hiding in the Bailu Academy and he could not set foot in. Now he was helpless.

He was still very wary of Bailu Academy as Yunmengze's old rival.

But continuing to waste time like this is not a solution. Sooner or later, I will have to go back and report to the Demon Saint.

The thought of this made him feel angry. In this case, he had no choice but to confront Bailu Academy.

A powerful aura spread from him, and the people in the restaurant were stunned when they sensed this aura.

"Evil spirit."

A group of practitioners stood up one after another, staring at the man with serious expressions.

The man stood up and walked outside, his eyes sparkling with evil and demonic light.

"Bold demon, so unscrupulous." Someone shouted coldly, and magic power surged. The Peacock Demon King glanced at the other party, and a bright and sharp light flashed. The man's head flew up directly, and blood spurted out.

"Big demon." Everyone looked embarrassed. The Peacock Demon King no longer concealed his aura. In an instant, an extremely terrifying pressure swept out.

Seven colors of light shone, and in an instant, the restaurant was directly pierced through by those beams of light.

Everyone around the restaurant felt the terrifying evil spirit and looked over there.

Then they saw a figure rising into the sky, and the Peacock Demon King stood in the air. Everyone fell into an illusion, and saw colorful lights, and didn't know where they were.

Brilliant light swept around, and buildings collapsed and shattered one after another. Above the sky, an infinitely huge peacock shadow appeared, covering the sky above everyone's heads.

The Peacock Demon King looked ahead, where the White Deer Academy was located.

All the practitioners from Bailu Academy were seen looking in the direction of the Peacock Demon King. In the sky above, several figures appeared and looked towards the Peacock Demon King from a distance.

"Peacock, you demons have been defeated. What does that mean?" The old man on the battlefield that day spoke loudly, his eyes piercing through space and looking over here.

“Hand Yang Qingshan over to me, otherwise, I will kill people in Yunmeng City.” The Peacock Demon King threatened.

"Yang Qingshan." Many people in Yunmeng City heard the voice of the Peacock Demon King. On that day, the demons were defeated because of Yang Qingshan. The Peacock Demon King actually sneaked into Yunmeng City and threatened the lives of the people in the city, demanding that the Bailu Academy hand over the person.

At this time, Li Fan was practicing in the courtyard. He was stunned when he heard the voice of the Peacock Demon King. He looked into the distance, where he saw a huge peacock shadow hanging above the sky.

With the Peacock Demon King's strength and speed, if he did not fight with the practitioners of Bailu Academy but chose to kill them indiscriminately, who knows how many people would have died at his hands.

The previous speculation was indeed confirmed. The big demon that set foot on Bailu Street was the Peacock Demon King, and the other party was coming for him.

Because of the war?
Something was wrong. That war was a bit weird.

Lu Yuan, Qu Qingfeng and others came to Li Fan with serious expressions.
