Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 385 Killing

Xing Feng looked down at the crowd below who had been forced back and shouted, "Aren't you going to get out of the way?"

The shaken crowd finally realized what was happening and began to retreat to a distance. Three top-tier seventh-realm cultivators were besieging Xing Feng. Perhaps Xing Feng had deliberately suppressed his power before, but if the battle were to spread to them, no one would be able to withstand it.

"Attack together, don't let him pick you off one by one," Teng Zijing continued.

The masked figure flashed and landed above Xing Feng. The sky was filled with changing clouds, nine-colored clouds appeared, and a radiant light fell down on Xing Feng and the others.

"Illusionary Technique, guard your primordial spirit," Lu You said to Li Fan and the others, his sword intent surging.

"You all retreat," Xing Feng said in a low voice. He looked up and saw a barrier appear between heaven and earth, cutting off the void.

Nine-colored divine light poured down from the sky, like countless sharp blades, but when it landed on Xing Feng's body, it caused a violent tremor. The invisible barrier took shape under the attack of the nine-colored divine light, turning into a 'wall' that sealed off the heavens and the earth.

At the same time, phantom images of demonic apes appeared above his body, seemingly standing in the sky.

Xing Feng's flesh and blood body shimmered with brilliant divine light. He was at the seventh level of martial arts, his martial intent reaching the heavens and the earth, and his blood and qi illuminating mountains and rivers.

The cultivators who stepped back looked up at the shocking scene before them. With cultivation reaching this level, one person could destroy mountains and cities.

Wang Zheng of the Xuanjian Sect stood high in the sky, surrounded by ten thousand swords, each sword like a calamity, emitting a mesmerizing sound.

In another direction, Yue Qingcang stood like a mountain. With a thought, an enormous divine stele appeared above his body, seemingly a Dharma image forged from a magical artifact. The dense characters within the stele lit up, as if they had come alive, transforming into countless ancient characters that flew out of the stele and continued to grow larger.

Each character transformed into a golden stone tablet. These countless golden stone tablets were arranged in an array. When everyone looked up at the sky, they discovered that the countless stone tablets had combined to form a large character: "镇" (zhen, meaning "suppress").

An immense power emanated from it, crushing a section of the world. Phantom images of the character "镇" (zhen, meaning suppression) continuously fell down, crashing against the barrier below and producing explosive sounds.

The battlefield aura from the sky descended upon them like divine might, as if gods were fighting. They even retreated further away to avoid being affected.

"This battlefield is now in your hands."

Xing Feng said something to Lu You, Li Fan, and the others, then looked up at the sky and said, "The three of you can come together."

Xing Feng's voice boomed. Facing the overwhelming power unleashed by the three powerful figures, his body continued to rise. He threw a punch towards the sky, and the demonic ape roared. Countless fist beams appeared in the sky, each fist smashing towards the three opponents like a falling meteorite.

As everyone looked at that figure who resembled a god of war, a thought arose in their minds: "His aura illuminates mountains and rivers; his martial arts reach the divine level."

The battle in the sky erupted instantly, shaking the heavens. Xing Feng's body soared into the sky, seemingly intentionally pulling the battlefield into the air to avoid affecting those below. This was also a kind of confidence, confidence that he could intercept the three seventh-realm experts of the enemy with his own strength, and confidence that Lu You and others could deal with the others.

“Take them down.” Teng Zijing glanced at the aerial battlefield, then his gaze fell on Li Fan and the others. He took the lead and stepped forward. As the city lord of Liuyue City, he himself had the cultivation of the peak of the Dao Body Realm.

The cultivators from Liuyue Manor and Xuanjian Sect all stared at Li Fan's direction, and they all moved forward, their auras exploding and violent waves of energy sweeping out, rushing towards Li Fan and his group.

For a moment, Li Fan and the others seemed extremely small, as if they were about to be submerged.

"It's been a long time since I've had a good fight, but I never expected to kill humans instead of demons." Lu You sighed softly, a sword appearing in his hand. With a casual swing, countless sword shadows flashed, causing the people surrounding him to become wary again.

The title "Sword Cultivator of Lishan" still held immense power in the Great Li Dynasty.

"Brother Huang, Qingqiu, Sister Liu, don't move around, protect Qingshan," Li Fan said in a low voice. He and Lu Yuan were both sword cultivators, skilled in killing and combat, and more suited to group battles.

Although Huang Xiong is powerful in combat, he is not as good at group battles as they are; he is better suited to single-target attacks to overwhelm opponents.

"Wind blows."

Lu You shouted, and a gust of wind swept across the heavens and earth, omnipresent and all-pervasive, instantly enveloping the boundless space and covering the battlefield.

"Be careful!" Teng Zijing shouted as if he had sensed something, but as soon as he finished speaking, screams rang out, and the wind that had been blowing through the crowd suddenly became sharp, slashing towards the cultivators who were attacking.

The cultivators were on high alert, their magical power roaring, sword energy surging, and blood churning. Lu You casually swung his sword across the air, shouting, "Gentle Breeze Transforms into Sword."

The winds that had been blowing suddenly became sharper, with a tearing sound and a hissing sound. Screams rang out, and those with weaker cultivation were killed on the spot. Blood rain fell from the sky.

"Sword Domain, the omnipresent Sword Domain!"

The cultivators were shaken. The sword was hidden in the wind, and the sword domain merged into the wind, penetrating everywhere. The cultivators in the distance who saw this scene couldn't help but feel a little sad. Just as Lu You said, he used to kill demons, but this time, he was killing people, killing the cultivators of Liuyue City.

Between the imperial court and Lishan, who is right and who is wrong?

Or perhaps, there is no right or wrong, no good or evil.

"Form the sword formation!" A loud shout rang out, and the sword cultivators of the Xuanjian Sect simultaneously moved forward, their figures soaring into the sky, with countless flying swords emerging, accompanied by a powerful sword domain.

Lu You looked up, wondering if he wanted to form an array?
He stepped forward, his body as light as the wind. In the blink of an eye, his body appeared in the center of the sword formation, and with a soft thud, the body of a sword cultivator in the middle was directly severed.

"So fast……"

Lu You's body seemed to be hidden in the wind, just like the sword, able to move with the wind. He swung his sword in the sword formation, and with each strike, someone would die.

"Xuanjian Sect..."

The people of Liuyue City were speechless with shock at what they saw. Xuanjian Sect was a top-tier sword sect, and was considered a holy land of swordsmanship in their Liuyue City. However, it was no match for the sword cultivators of Lishan.

"Humph."

Seeing Lu You heading towards the Xuanjian Sect, Teng Zijing and the cultivators from Liuyue Manor walked towards Li Fan.

"What are you going to do?" A cold voice came, and Teng Zijing felt his hair stand on end. Suddenly, a shield appeared in front of him, and a sword shadow slashed through the shield, making a piercing sound. The next moment, Lu You's body disappeared again and appeared above Li Fan and the others, slashing with his sword and forcing back the crowd that was attacking Li Fan.

"I'll deal with those in the sixth realm, and you can kill those in the fifth realm," Lu You said, naturally addressing Li Fan and the others.

“Okay.” Li Fan and Lu Yuan nodded and followed Lu You forward.

A bright moon hung high in the sky, and strange phenomena appeared in the heavens and earth. The sky seemed to turn into night, and the aura of yin energy permeated the air. Even Li Fan couldn't help but glance at Lu Yuan.

The Yin energy within her had become much stronger, likely due to her transformation in the Moon Palace. At this moment, she exuded an aura of extreme cold.

"Sword rise." With a thought, Li Fan unleashed a series of dragon roars, a dragon shadow swirled around him, and a golden dragon appeared behind him. In front of him, a sword domain emerged, exuding an aura of destruction.

Lu You glanced around and then laughed loudly, “A perfect match. For thousands of years, I have terrified demons and monsters by killing them, but I never expected to be rejected by some human cultivators. If that’s the case, then let them fear me as much as the demons do.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked forward. In an instant, all the cultivators of the sixth realm felt locked by the sword intent, as if they might face Lu You's sword at any moment. They were on high alert, staring at Lu You, and their auras exploded to their strongest.

"Make your move." Li Fan strode forward, heading straight for the Xuanjian Sect. Since the Xuanjian Sect refused to give up, then he would first eliminate the Xuanjian Sect's successor.

Seeing Li Fan move, Lu Yuan followed closely behind. Before she even arrived, the Taiyin Sword Domain enveloped the space, causing the countless flying swords controlled by the Xuanjian Sect sword cultivators to freeze in mid-air and slow down.

Li Fan and Lu Yuan were already working together seamlessly. He transformed his body into a sword and charged into the Xuanjian Sect.

"Kill!" Seeing Li Fan rushing towards them, the Xuanjian Sect sword cultivators immediately unleashed a torrent of flying swords, slicing through the space and attempting to cut off Li Fan's path.

"Boom..." Li Fan's body rushed directly into it. The sharp sword that tore through space landed on his body, but the true dragon protected him, and the sword could not break through his defense. In just an instant, Li Fan rushed into their core area.

"Junior Brother Ye Kong, be careful." Everyone realized what Li Fan's target was when they saw him heading straight for Ye Kong.

"Even the light of a firefly can rival the brilliance of the moon."

A voice came from the sky. As soon as the voice fell, Li Fan's body disappeared from the spot, and Ye Kong swung his sword, creating a sword formation in front of him.

But all of this came to an abrupt end in an instant; a ray of light pierced through and slit his throat.

At this moment, Ye Kong felt somewhat ironic. It was laughable that he and Gu Mu of Liuyue Manor dared to challenge Li Fan. Just as Li Fan said, it was like a firefly trying to compete with the bright moon.

The swords of the Xuanjian Sect dare to wield in front of Lishan? Aren't they courting their own destruction?

"As expected of me, the Sword Master of Lishan," Lu You laughed loudly as he intercepted a sixth-realm sword cultivator from the Xuanjian Sect.
