Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 386 Annihilation of a Sect
High above, the sky seemed to be violently shaking, as if the heavens were about to collapse.

Seeing Ye Kong's death below, Wang Zheng of the Xuanjian Sect became even more ferocious in his attacks. The three of them could not shake Xing Feng, while Lu You actually intercepted a sixth-realm cultivator by himself.
And then there was Li Shan Jianzi. He knew that Teng Zijing had spent a huge amount of money to take down these people, and his main target was that young man. But even though he had overestimated his opponent, he still did not expect that his successor could not even withstand a single sword strike.

On the battlefield below, when the Xuanjian Sect cultivators saw Li Fan kill Ye Kong, an old man coldly shouted, "Kill this brat."

He was Ye Kong's master, who brought him into the Xuanjian Sect to be trained and watched Ye Kong grow up to become the sect's future hope.

Within the Xuanjian Sect, Ye Kong is a unique prodigy, with all the sect's resources poured into him. He has never disappointed the sect and is about to break through to the Dao Body Realm. Once he enters the Dao Body Realm, he will surpass him. As Ye Kong's mentor, he has always been proud of this and has always looked forward to the arrival of this day.

Unexpectedly, their Xuanjian Sect's pride and joy was annihilated without even a chance to draw his sword. How cruel this was for him, not even having the chance to draw his sword...

"kill."

The sword cultivators of the Xuanjian Sect were also burning with rage. In an instant, numerous sword formations seemed to appear around Li Fan and Lu Yuan. Within those sword formations, countless flying swords emerged, slaying and killing Li Fan and Lu Yuan.

With a thought, Lu Yuan transformed the surroundings into her sword domain. As the Taiyin Sword Domain appeared, time and space seemed to stand still. The flying swords that were attacking became extremely slow, especially those that were close to them, which almost stopped moving.

Li Fan summoned the Star Sword Domain, and giant swords shot out in different directions, crashing into the sword diagrams and instantly shattering them.

The moment the sword diagram collapsed, the sword shadows swept past, turning into lightning and thunder. Blood bloomed, and the surrounding Xuanjian Sect sword cultivators fell into the air and were instantly killed.

From afar, the crowd gazed at the three battlefields, seemingly unwilling to miss any of them.

"These are the sword cultivators of Lishan." They sighed inwardly. Lu You was an unyielding force, while Li Fan and Lu Yuan were each worth a hundred men. Even when surrounded, they were still able to kill their opponents.

If this killing continues, it won't be long before the core strength of the Xuanjian Sect is wiped out.

When the Dao Body Realm sword cultivators of the Xuanjian Sect saw their juniors being slaughtered, they frantically rushed towards that area. However, no matter who got close, Lu You would arrive instantly. Just like on Li Fan's battlefield, cultivators who were not at the late stage of the Dao Body Realm could only withstand one sword strike from Lu You.

"Hold him back and block his escape route together." Teng Zijing rushed towards Lu You. If he didn't intercept Lu You, there would be no chance to take down Li Fan, and Li Fan was the target of this battle.

From all directions of Lu You, figures emerged, their Dao Body Realm auras exploding simultaneously. Instantly, spells filled the air, stone tablets stood guard, sharp swords pierced the sky, and shields stood tall, attempting to lock down this place.

"Buzz..." Lu You's figure disappeared from the spot and transformed into a sword.

"Sword Formation!" A loud shout rang out. In the direction Lu You was heading, a sword cleaved through the heavens and earth, cutting off a space. Lu You's figure appeared in front of him, and with a raised hand, he slashed out with his sword, actually cutting open the barrier between heaven and earth.

"Retreat." Just as Lu You was about to continue forward, Teng Zijing appeared, his shield blocking Lu You's path. Almost simultaneously, attacks from other directions arrived, and cultivators of the sixth realm of the Dao Body from the three major forces intercepted Lu You alone.

"Make way." On the battlefield where Li Fan and Lu Yuan were, the Xuanjian Sect had suffered heavy casualties. A loud shout came, and the surrounding sword cultivators retreated one after another. A streak of sword light shot straight towards Li Fan.

The crowd saw that the one who made the move was an old man. He attacked in anger, his body transforming into an indestructible sword, pointing straight forward. Even before he arrived, the sword intent was already there, and the overwhelming sword power rushed towards them. Li Fan's body was already enveloped by the sword intent, and he was immersed in the world of swords.

"It is Elder Ge of the Xuanjian Sect, Master Ye Kong."

In Liuyue City, a cultivator recognized the swordsman who had wielded the dazzling sword. It was none other than Ye Kong's guide, an elder of the Xuanjian Sect. It was said that Ye Kong was the one who brought Ye Kong into the Xuanjian Sect.

"Man and sword become one; this sword strike carries the intent to kill, for once the sword is wielded, it will never return."

Everyone who saw that sword strike could feel the old man's decisiveness. Perhaps the old man also knew that he might not have a second chance to strike. The powerful figures joined forces to block Lu You's path, but given Lu You's strength, they could probably only block him for a moment.

But in this fleeting moment, he was determined to kill Li Fan. The cultivators intercepting Lu You also sensed the situation here. They unleashed their full power, sealing off the heavens and earth, sparing no effort to intercept Lu You.

Li Fan and Lu Yuan naturally sensed the old man's determination. Lu You appeared behind Li Fan, her figure rising upwards, releasing rounds of bright moonlight to its fullest extent, illuminating the old man. But facing that resolute sword intent, the power of Taiyin shattered. Even though the old man was covered in frost, turning his hair white, the sword intent did not weaken in the slightest. This sword was unstoppable and would surely kill Li Fan.

Li Fan's body roared with blood and qi, and a golden dragon protected him. His sword qi soared into the sky, and he became one with the heavenly sword.

At this moment, he seemed to have entered a state of selflessness, with only the sword present. Even a halo of sword energy appeared around his body, like a sword formation, merging with his body as one.

The next moment, Li Fan's body also transformed into a sword, just like the old man, man and sword became one, and he unleashed a sword, the ultimate killing sword of the Heavenly Origin Sword Manual, Ashes.

The crowd saw two beams of light flash before their eyes, the dazzling sword light stinging their vision. The next moment, the two bodies switched positions and stood still high in the air.

Even the outcome of that sword strike was unclear, as to how the two of them drew their swords.

"Crack..." The protective dragon surrounding Li Fan's body was cut open and destroyed. His defensive power was shattered by this sword. Countless gazes fell on him. Had this genius swordsman from Li Mountain fallen under this sword?
The sword of the Dao body, the sword of certain death, the sword of certain kill—how can a Core Formation cultivator possibly withstand it?
The people from the Xuanjian Sect were all staring intently at Li Fan's figure. Lu Yuan was a little nervous, but then she saw the old man's aura rapidly weakening and his eyes becoming unfocused.

"Am I also a swordsman?" A trace of sadness appeared in the old man's eyes. He had originally intended to avenge his disciple and unleash his deadly sword strike.

But in the end, he met the same fate; that young swordsman who left the mountain only managed to unleash one sword strike.

"Leave the mountain." The old man murmured, and as soon as he finished speaking, his body was torn to pieces, shattered by the sword intent, just like the sword's name, Ashes.

"Elder..." The sword cultivators of the Xuanjian Sect were horrified by what they saw, while the cultivators in the distance looked up and froze.

The one who died was a Dao Body sword cultivator from the Xuanjian Sect?

This sword strike overturned their understanding.

"It's your turn." As Li Fan finished speaking, sword energy soared into the sky, and a sword array diagram appeared above his body. The next moment, countless flying swords fell from the sky, making continuous splattering sounds, and screams of agony rang out. No one could withstand the power of his sword.

At this moment, everyone saw Li Fan standing in the void, surrounded by a halo of swordsmanship, as if a sword immortal had descended to earth.

"Good sword."

A shout of praise rang out, and Lu You's sword tore through the defenses and charged out, accompanied by a flash of blood. A cultivator who had been trying to intercept him was killed.

"Do not……"

A loud roar came from high in the sky, making everyone's hearts tremble. They looked up at the sky and saw Xing Feng holding up the sky with one hand, grabbing Wang Zheng, the sect master of Xuanjian Sect, and then squeezing hard, blood spurted out.

The scene before them made the crowd's hearts pound. That was a great sword cultivator at the seventh realm, the leader of the Xuanjian Sect, who had actually been captured by Xing Feng and strangled to death. What a humiliating way to die!

"The Xuanjian Sect is finished."

A thought flashed through everyone's minds: from top to bottom, the Xuanjian Sect's leader and his successors had all been killed. From today onwards, the Xuanjian Sect would follow in the footsteps of Xiyao Lake.

Furthermore, the fate of Liuyue Manor will likely be the same.
