Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 226 Encirclement and Suppression
Li Fan and Lu Yuan closed their eyes and practiced, refining the sword intent they had seized bit by bit.

Because the amount of sword intent seized this time is extremely large, it will take a long time to refine.

As the sword intent was refined, the aura emanating from Li Fan gradually became stronger. As time went by, his realm improved bit by bit.

According to his idea, he hoped to enter the middle stage of foundation building with the help of refining sword intent, so that he could be invincible in this secret realm.

At his current level, it would still be a bit troublesome if he were surrounded and attacked by top cultivators who had entered the secret realm.

What's more, the nine demon generals are also extremely powerful. One demon general can suppress the three great sword cultivators of Lingxiao Pavilion and defeat the opponent's sword formation. If he wants to kill a demon general alone, he also needs to raise his realm.

Time was running out, and Li Fan didn't even plan to accumulate sword intent, but to refine it first.

When the two were refining the sword intent, the demons passing by did not dare to approach them, as they could feel the strength of the sword intent in them.

But above the sky, there were peng birds flying in different directions, as if they were patrolling.

One of the Peng birds came to Li Fan and his party, lowered its head and looked down at the sky. When it saw Li Fan and Lu Yuan, a hint of coldness flashed in the eyes of the Peng bird.

"Buzz..." The Peng bird did not stay, but disappeared in a flash.

At this moment, Li Fan, who was practicing, opened his eyes, and a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

It really is a haunting presence.

Ren Yuzhi has been using the Peng bird to patrol and track his location.

Lu Yuan seemed to sense something, and also opened her eyes and glanced at Li Fan.

"Let's go." Li Fan said. Before breaking through the realm, he was still not prepared to get entangled with the other party.

The two of them flashed and prepared to move to another place to practice, but they saw that there were many peng birds in the sky around their area, patrolling the entire area, as if they had completely locked onto his position.

Li Fan raised his eyes and glanced at those Peng birds. Strands of sword intent broke through the air and shot towards the sky. There was a continuous "puff puff" sound, and one Peng bird after another was directly killed.

"Prepare for battle." Li Fan said, Ren Yuzhi and the others should be here soon.

After what happened before, Ren Yuzhi and Ying Ze would not want to let him go.

Now, the other party has also known that he has seized the sword intent. Given the other party's determination to fight for the "sword intent", he will definitely come looking for him.

The disciples of Chengying Sword did not hesitate to collude with demons to harm humans in order to obtain the sword's will. This shows the other party's intentions and determination in the battle for the sword's will.

Now that he has obtained a large amount of sword power, I am afraid that he will face a fatal disaster.

However, let’s see how many people will come this time.

Sure enough, just as Li Fan finished speaking, a powerful sword intent roared towards this side from a distance. Looking up, he saw someone riding a sword, rushing towards this side rapidly.

Li Fan immediately turned back and left with Lu Yuan, not wanting to get entangled.

But when they turned around, they saw a sword cultivator rushing towards them from the opposite side. The sword intent that permeated them was also extremely powerful. Li Fan looked in the other two directions and the result was the same.

Encircled and suppressed from all sides.

"Lu Yuan, if I get into trouble, you fight your way out and leave, don't worry about me." Li Fan said to Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan's fighting ability is not as good as his, and it would be more troublesome if he encountered an encirclement. He must consider Lu Yuan's safety.

Lu Yuan ignored him. A chill spread through his body and the temperature around him dropped sharply. He was ready for battle.

"Left-handed."

A cold shout was heard, and the people leading one of the directions were Ying Ze and Ren Yuzhi. Behind them, there were other sword cultivators, including those on the Qingyun List.

Li Fan looked in other directions again. Some of them were unfamiliar faces, but the aura on them was very strong.

There are more disciples of Chengying Sword than just Yingze and Ren Yuzhi. There are also a few who did not enter the secret realm last year but chose to come in this year.

In addition, there are sword cultivators who have no grudges against him but simply want to seize the sword's power.

"Zuo Tu, return the sword intent." Another voice was heard. From another direction, Jiang Chaoyang and the other two from Lingxiao Pavilion were also there. Ying Ze joined forces with them.

This kind of battle is no weaker than the one before at the Jade Dragon Demon General's place.

"Zuotu, you colluded with demons, slaughtered human sword practitioners, killed Xia Yao and others, and seized the sword's will. You deserve to be killed." Ren Yuzhi stared at Li Fan and said.

"Ren Yuzhi, Xia Yao was killed by you and Ying Ze, and you put the blame on me when I saw her. That's a good trick. Don't you know what you did?" Li Fan responded coldly.

He still did not reveal the whole matter. If he did, it would not be just a matter between Ying Ze and Ren Yuzhi, but the fact that the other party killed Xia Yao could be said.

In this way, even if Li Chengying was really behind this, he should have known about his plans that he had not revealed.

Li Chengying, wouldn't you attack a junior like him?
As for him, Ying Ze, and Ren Yuzhi, it was their personal grudge and had nothing to do with Chengying Sword Dojo. "Hmm?"

Yingze and Ren Yuzhi were still thinking about how to convict Li Fan of the crime, but they didn't expect Li Fan to do this without mentioning the real reason.

This Zuo Tu is quite scheming.

"As for these sword intentions, they were obtained by me when I killed the demon general. Since I killed the demon general, how can I collude with the demons? If you want to slander me, at least find a better reason. Are you afraid that the Xia family will settle accounts with you?"

Li Fan continued speaking, causing the people around him to look surprised.

When Ren Yuzhi and the others mentioned that Li Fan colluded with demons to kill Xia Yao, they were a little suspicious.

As expected, Li Fan now says something completely opposite. It’s a little unclear who is telling the truth?

It was a fact witnessed by many people that Li Fan killed the demon general. It was indeed absurd to collude with demons.

So, it was really Yingze and Ren Yuzhi who killed Xia Yao?
Why are they doing this, competing for the sword's will?

If so, it is cruel and ruthless.

However, who killed Xia Yao is actually not that important for the current situation.

They don't need the truth.

Now, Xia Yao must have been killed by Li Fan.

"Don't try to quibble, Zuo Tu. Although you are gifted, you colluded with demons to kill human sword cultivators. Everyone has the right to kill you."

"Your Excellency is quite ruthless."

Everyone was talking at once, trying to put the blame on Li Fan.

When Li Fan saw this, he knew very well that these people didn't care who killed Xia Yao. Even if Xia Yao had nothing to do with it, there would be other reasons.

In short, these hundreds of thousands of sword intentions are directed at him, so they will definitely attack him.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Many of you have no grudges against me. But if you want to seize the sword and join in the attack on me, then don't blame me for being merciless."

Li Fan held the sword in his hand, the sword intent emanated from it, and he said in a cold voice: "I hope you will think carefully and not be used by others. Ask yourself first, even if you really kill me, can you get this sword intent?"

Many people's eyes were slightly shaken. What Li Fan said was right. Even if they killed him, could they get the sword intent?
"Nonsense, kill."

There was a loud clang sound, and huge golden swords appeared in the air. The Vajra Sword Intent burst out from Yingze's body. Those golden swords were engraved with golden runes and were extremely sharp.

As his thought moved, a sky full of golden swords shot out and headed straight for Li Fan.

Ying Ze, who ranked first on the Qingyun list, had always wanted to fight with Li Fan, but Li Fan avoided fighting.

Li Fan raised his hand and waved it, and the light between his eyebrows became brighter, and the light of the stars shone and gathered into sharp swords. The sword bodies were also engraved with rune light, which was extremely domineering and shot forward.

The swords from both sides collided and exploded in mid-air. Ying Ze's body was shrouded in golden divine light. He rushed high into the sky and looked up. The Vajra sword intent roared fiercely, and a huge golden sword condensed and came into being. A golden shadow seemed to appear behind him, like a Vajra Dharmakaya.

"kill."

The Vajra Dharmakaya pressed the sword down, the giant sword roared, and killed down. The people around stared at the battlefield. Ying Ze, the number one on the Qingyun list, his combat power was indeed extraordinary. At this time, Ying Ze's bones exploded, his Dharmakaya blossomed, and he merged with the sword.

The blood in Li Fan's body roared fiercely, and there were bursts of dragon roars. A sword intent rushed out of his body. It seemed that starlight was falling from the sky. The avenue in his mind roared and also condensed into a giant star sword. Countless runes were engraved on the sword, and thunder was shining. There was an ancient meaning on the giant sword.

The two giant swords collided with each other, and everyone around looked up at that direction. A tearing storm swept out, and Ren Yuzhi's pupils contracted, staring at the battlefield.

Who would have thought that Li Fan, who was at the initial stage of foundation building, could actually challenge Ying Ze, who was number one on the Qingyun list?
"Do it..."

Ren Yuzhi couldn't wait any longer, and the sword intent that could split the sky burst out from his body. There was a whistling sound of wind and sword energy. The sword arrived before the man.

Not only Ren Yuzhi, but all the sword practitioners in Chengying Sword Dojo rushed towards Li Fan and flew their swords to attack the figure in the crowd.

The sword cultivators around had not yet taken action, but they were deeply moved by the scene before them.

Those who took action were all sword practitioners from the Chengying Sword Dojo who were hailed as geniuses. They actually chose to join forces to attack Li Fan.

This talented swordsman who was in the initial stage of foundation building had mastered the Seven Swords, which was unprecedented. However, he had offended Ying Ze and others, and had a huge amount of sword intent taken away from them. He was afraid that he was in great danger.

Will this evil genius die here today?
"mean."

Lu Yuan cursed softly, his aura icy as he stood behind Li Fan. These people were all well-known and talented sword cultivators, yet they shamelessly teamed up to deal with a sword cultivator of a lower level.
