Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 382 Blocking the Road
On the back of the dragon, Xing Feng lowered his eyelids, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

A powerful aura approached from afar, and soon a group of figures appeared not far ahead. The leader had an imposing presence, and those around him quickly made way and stepped aside.

"Liuyue Manor".

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. There were several top-tier forces in Liuyue City, on par with Xiyao Lake, and Liuyue Manor was one of them.

Liuyue Manor has a long history in Liuyue City and was formed by the union of several major families. The current head of Liuyue Manor is the Yue family, because a seventh-realm cultivator was born in the Yue family.

This is also the reason why Liuyue Manor has been prosperous for many years. Although there is competition among the major families, they will do their best to cultivate the most talented person in the family so that he can reach the seventh realm and take charge of the manor.

The leading man standing before them was Yue Qingcang, the current owner of Liuyue Manor and a legendary figure in Liuyue City.

"Yue Qingcang actually came. What does he want to do?" Everyone looked at Yue Qingcang with doubt in their hearts. After the incident at Lishan, Xiyao Lake had just been destroyed. Although Yue Qingcang was a legendary figure in Liuyue City, he was still no match for Lishan.

“Gu Mu.” The crowd then saw the man beside Yue Qingcang, who looked to be in his thirties, quite young. He was the chosen successor of Liuyue Manor, and his talent was no less than Yue Qingcang’s back then. It was said that he had already cultivated to the peak of the Core Formation stage and was already trying to break through to the sixth realm.

There are even rumors that Gu Mu is only one step away from the sixth realm.

As for the others, they were all powerful figures from the major families of Liuyue Manor, including several who were at the sixth realm. This force was already at the top level in Liuyue City.

The dragon that Liu Ji had transformed into slowly stopped and hovered in the air. Li Fan also looked up in the opposite direction, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. No one from the imperial court had appeared. Did these people want to stop them?
Of course, these weren't the only people who arrived.

In another direction, another large group of people was marching towards this side.

"Xuanjian Sect." Many people's eyes lit up with surprise. Lishan was the holy land of swordsmanship in the Great Li Dynasty, and the number one swordsmanship force recognized by the Great Li.

Within their Liuyue City, there happened to be a sword sect, namely the Xuanjian Sect.

What is the purpose of the Xuanjian Sect's arrival here at this moment?
"Wang Zheng, the leader of the Xuanjian Sect." Everyone looked at the white-robed figure at the front. The Xuanjian Sect had also come here. The two top forces of Liuyue City had arrived together. What did they want?
"I have long admired the name of Lishan. Is the person who has come to you Xing Feng, the peak master of Lishan Martial Intent Peak?" Yue Qingcang asked Xing Feng, who was on the back of the dragon, with a loud and powerful voice.

Xing Feng looked up and saw Yue Qingcang, his voice low: "What is it?"

His words revealed a hint of impatience, as if he did not take Yue Qingcang seriously.

The streets of Liuyue City were unusually quiet at this moment. The voices of the people below grew softer and softer as they all looked up at the figures in the sky. These were all powerful and influential figures.

Lishan Swordsmanship is renowned throughout the world, but for many, this is the first time they have heard of Wuyi Peak.

From this perspective, cultivators other than the sword cultivators of Lishan are also very strong.

Xing Feng, the peak master of Martial Intent Peak, cultivates martial arts.
Yue Qingcang has also cultivated martial arts to the seventh realm.

"Wang Zheng of the Xuanjian Sect has come to pay his respects." Wang Zheng, the sect leader of the Xuanjian Sect, carrying an ancient sword on his back and with his long robe fluttering in the wind, also bowed to Xing Feng.

The two top figures from Liuyue City seemed quite polite, but Xing Feng seemed to have little patience and said indifferently, "If there's nothing else, please step aside."

As she spoke, the dragon that Liu Ji had transformed into continued forward.

If the imperial court is considered a force in the world today, then it is undoubtedly the strongest force.

Although the major sects and families of Dali cannot be controlled by the imperial court, they at least have to be given face and dare not be hostile. Everyone knows the relationship between the imperial court and Lishan.

Under such circumstances, naturally no sect or family would be willing to establish a relationship with Lishan in public.

In particular, the Yongzhou region has already entered the core area of ​​the thirty-six prefectures of Dali.

If they're not friends, then what are these people doing here?
"The sword of Lishan is renowned throughout the world, yet it rarely leaves Lishan. Today, the successor of the Lishan sword path has entered Liuyue City. How can we not come and see?" Yue Qingcang shifted his gaze from Xing Feng to the white-clad figure behind him and said, "This must be Li Fan, the successor of the Lishan sword path and disciple of the Canglan Sword?"

Successor of the Lishan Sword Dao? Disciple of the Canglan Sword?

In an instant, all eyes turned to that handsome figure, atop the dragon, his white robes fluttering, exuding a free and unrestrained charm.

At this moment, Li Fan clearly sensed many sharp gazes falling on him.

"Yes." Li Fan replied calmly. "Gu Mu." Yue Qingcang turned to look at the man beside him and then said, "Gu Mu is the successor of my Liuyue Manor. He has exceptional talent and his cultivation has reached the late stage of the Core Formation Realm. Hearing that the successor of the Lishan Sword Dao has arrived, he wishes to learn from his skills. He hopes that you will not hesitate to give him some pointers."

"I, a disciple of the Xuanjian Sect, also wish to experience the swordsmanship of Lishan," Wang Zheng said, as a figure stepped out from beside him.

"Ye Kong." Everyone looked at the sword cultivator who had appeared and felt a chill run down their spines.

Gu Mu and Ye Kong are both prominent figures in Liuyue City.

"No time," Li Fan replied coldly, and the dragon continued forward.

Gu Mu and Ye Kong both looked at Li Fan at the same time, their eyes filled with sharp intent.

Li Fan was much younger than them, but he was more aggressive. After all, he was a successor of the Li Shan Sword Dao, which was normal. However, his attitude was somewhat disrespectful to them.

"Boom..."

Gu Mu strode forward, causing the sky to tremble and ripples to spread out. An invisible pressure swept towards Li Fan. The dragon that Liu Ji had transformed into let out a low roar, feeling her body become unusually heavy as she moved forward. This caused her emerald green eyes to reveal a coldness.

"The successor of the Lishan Sword Dao, surely he wouldn't avoid battle?" Long, flowing hair danced in the wind, and an imposing aura swept towards Li Fan.

On the other side, Ye Kong also walked forward. He did not speak, but stood quietly. However, an invisible sword intent flowed out from his body and spread outwards.

"We just wiped out the Medicine Washing Lake, and yet another force is still provoking us. How interesting..."

Lu You sat lazily on the back of the dragon and looked at the cultivators of the two major forces opposite him with great interest.

"I'll go deal with them." Huang Xiong took a step forward, but Li Fan waved his hand to stop him, saying, "Since someone wants to see Li Shan's sword, we can't let them down. Of course, they also need to be qualified to see it."

He was also curious about how these people dared to do it.

Who is behind them?
The imperial court?
Li Fan floated forward, and the dragon followed closely behind him without stopping.

As Gu Mu saw Li Fan emerge, he moved his mind, and a huge stone tablet appeared in the air above him. A booming sound rang out, and the stone tablet floated toward Li Fan's location, growing larger and larger. Many characters appeared on the stone tablet, and rays of light emanated from it. A powerful sense of oppression swept down, as if countless shadows of the tablet were suppressing Li Fan.

Li Fan continued forward, his blood and qi surging within him, his golden body gleaming. The shadow of the monument crashed down, emitting a violent booming sound before dissipating into nothingness.

Gu Mu stretched out his palm and pressed down, and the huge stone tablet crashed down at a terrifying speed.

"clang!"

Li Fan raised his left hand upwards, and the huge stone tablet crashed down, but it seemed as if Li Fan's palm was holding it above his head. Brilliant light flashed, and the stone tablet collapsed and shattered.

"There is no sword intent."

Everyone looked up at the sky. Was it pure power?
With a thought, Gu Mu conjured numerous stone tablets around Li Fan's body, which simultaneously attacked him, seemingly intent on crushing him.

Li Fan moved forward, a wild aura emanating from him, a dragon's roar resounding through the heavens and earth, and dragon shadows appeared around him.

"Qi and Blood Transform into a Dragon!"

Some cultivators watched in shock as the violent stone tablets crashed down simultaneously, boom boom boom... Everyone saw Li Fan buried by the stone tablets, but the stone tablet directly in front of Gu Mu shattered instantly. He saw a figure coming straight towards him, grabbing at him from a distance.

Gu Mu raised his hand and unleashed a massive palm print, but he saw a golden dragon shadow appear. The palm print instantly shattered, and the dragon shadow arrived in an instant. His expression changed drastically, and he tried to retreat, but a huge dragon shadow had already enveloped him.

A shield appeared around its body, but the dragon claws slashed down, tearing the shield apart.

A cracking sound rang out, and Gu Mu let out a miserable scream as his bones shattered and his flesh seemed to be pierced through. A phantom of a true dragon hovered around him, its sharp claws piercing into his body.

"It seems you're not worthy to see my sword." Li Fan flung Gu Mu's body toward Yue Qingcang.
