Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 409 Unstoppable

Li Fan looked up and sized up the sword prodigy in front of him.

He had met several top sword cultivators on the Sword Saint Ranking and had even fought against their disciples. In Chixiao City, the disciple of Li Chengying, who was ranked fifth on the Sword Saint Ranking, was rather weak.

Of course, Guan Shanyue is different from Li Chengying's disciples. Li Chengying built a cultivation center in Chixiao City, which is a secret realm. It is unclear how sincere he is with his disciples.

Furthermore, although Li Chengying ranks higher than Taibai Jian, his dojo is naturally not comparable to Baiyujing.

The cultivators absorbed by Baiyujing naturally possessed far greater talent than those of external forces.

Bai Yujing possesses the Immortal Sword Scripture? Moreover, Guan Shanyue has already cultivated it.

Coincidentally, he also practiced the Immortal Sword Scripture, the Divine Sword Inheritance, and the Secret Realm Inheritance, all of which are top-tier sword techniques.

In the path of swordsmanship, at the same level, Li Fan believed that he was no weaker than anyone else in the Great Li world.

Guan Shanyue was no exception.

However, he couldn't let anyone know that the swordsmanship he practiced was the swordsmanship of Lishan.

"Guan Shanyue, disciple of Baiyujing, please enlighten me." Guan Shanyue spoke softly to Li Fan in a gentle and refined manner, having already introduced himself during Li Fan's battle with Qin Baiyu.

"Please," Li Fan replied.

Guan Shanyue did not move. A wind rose on the steps, and sword energy moved with the wind. In an instant, Li Fan seemed to be in a virtual space, unable to see the steps, only the sky full of swords.

He seemed to no longer be on the steps of Baiyujing Academy, but in the boundless starry sky, where sword energy flowed like the Milky Way, dazzlingly beautiful.

"Sword Intent, Sword Domain".

Li Fan thought to himself, "This is the Sword Domain Illusion that has been created, affecting my primordial spirit and causing me to have a delusion."

He remained standing in place, his blood and qi surging and roaring, his golden body swirling with divine light, allowing the tearing sword intent to fall upon his body, yet it could not have the slightest effect on him.

The dazzling galactic sword light surged towards him, not to attack his physical body, but to attack his primordial spirit.

Guan Shanyue believed that Li Fan was not only physically strong and extremely powerful in martial arts, but also possessed a powerful primordial spirit. A powerful sword cultivator who had reached this level was also extremely strong in primordial spirit attacks, as was the case with Li Fan's instantaneous crushing of Shen Jing.

The swords were like a silver river, tearing through the void with countless silver sword lights, and attacking his primordial spirit. Li Fan's primordial spirit stood quietly, and streaks of brilliant light shone up. A sword dao halo appeared in front of him, condensing into a sword barrier. No matter how many sword lights came, they all pierced the sword dao halo.

"Sword cultivator." A voice echoed in Li Fan's mind. It was Guan Shanyue's voice: "I didn't expect that you were more skilled in the way of the sword."

Li Fan had previously stated that martial arts was only one of his weaker areas, but the fact that his opponent was skilled in swordsmanship still surprised him.

Outside, everyone's eyes were on the two people on the steps. They were enveloped by terrifying sword energy, which permeated the surrounding world and grew stronger and stronger.

But their bodies remained completely still.

"What are they doing?" Qi Zhanyun asked in a low voice.

Some people seemed to have sensed something, and a strange look appeared in their eyes.

"Hmm?" Yan Chong's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he stared at Li Fan. Besides Guan Shanyue's sword, he sensed the presence of another sword intent.

"What is this?" Ye Yunke looked at the Prince of Puyang beside him.

“A sword cultivator,” the Prince of Puyang replied. “He is also a sword cultivator.”

"Sword cultivator!"

The crowd in the distant square felt a chill run down their spines. This person was not only extremely skilled in martial arts, but also practiced swordsmanship. Such a cultivator was a rare sight.

People with exceptional swordsmanship talent rarely pursue martial arts.

So, what he means is that his swordsmanship is stronger than martial arts?
"Since you also practice the way of the sword, then let's settle this with a single strike." Guan Shanyue's voice rang out, and he did not continue his attack with his primordial spirit.

"That's exactly what I was thinking," Li Fan replied. Their voices echoed in the air, accompanied by an even more terrifying sword intent. Centered on Guan Shanyue's body, the entire sky transformed into a world of swords, which then enveloped the boundless land and surrounded everyone else as well.

A strange phenomenon arose from the swords; they seemed to be within a starry sword domain, with rivers of swords flowing above their heads. Chu Jiankuang looked up at the scene before him, his heart slightly stirred. He had just fought Guan Shanyue, but he sensed that Guan Shanyue was now stronger than when they fought before.

Clearly, Guan Shanyue values ​​Li Fan more than he does.

This made Chu Jiankuang feel extremely frustrated. Today, when he asked Baiyujing, he found that there were several sword cultivators who were even more outstanding than him.

He looked at Li Fan again, and saw that the figure standing in the Sword River seemed extremely small, as if it might be submerged and dissipated by the Sword River at any moment. But the light around that small figure was getting brighter and brighter, and that was the light of the sword.

A dazzling sword light emanated from Li Fan's body. His entire body shone with light, as if he had merged with the world and become a sword in the river of swords.

Behind him appeared a sword diagram, frantically absorbing the sword energy of the heavens and rapidly expanding, growing larger and larger until it blotted out the sky. The huge sword diagram flowed, like a super sword formation, devouring all the sword energy surging from the surroundings. Even the flowing Milky Way sword light was absorbed into the sword diagram and transformed into a part of it.

The enormous sword diagram emitted sword light, illuminating this world. Guan Shanyue stared intently at Li Fan, his eyes extremely solemn. He sensed a sword intent from the other party that was no weaker than his own. The sword scripture that Li Fan cultivated must also be the most top-tier sword scripture.

"I have never heard of this sword before. May I inquire about its origin?" Guan Shanyue asked, wanting to know where Li Fan's sword came from.

"I don't know. Perhaps it's because of my exceptional talent, or perhaps it's because I was bestowed with a sword manual by an immortal, and that I forged the sword path in a dream," Li Fan replied. Everyone stared at him, thinking it was utter nonsense.

Clearly, Li Fan was unwilling to say.

“Alright.” Guan Shanyue said loudly, “I have cultivated the Immortal Sword Manual. Although I have only grasped the basics, I have obtained a sword. It is like the sword of the Milky Way outside the sky. When an immortal cultivates this sword, he can split the heavens with one strike. Come, take this sword.”

The Nine Heavens Divine Firmament Milky Way Sword Scripture was activated, and a pillar of destructive sword light condensed and pierced the eyes.

"I also have a sword that can turn all things in heaven and earth to ashes." Li Fan responded loudly. Within the huge sword diagram, countless star swords emerged, boundless and vast, colliding with the galaxy pillar of light that the opponent unleashed. Instantly, it seemed as if the sky itself was about to be annihilated.

Above the crowd, a desolate storm raged, its sharp cries piercing the air. In the direction of the stairs, the ground formations shone with light, as if they were unstable. Terrifying sword energy spread outwards, and in the distance, array lights also illuminated the grand halls.

Just as they had agreed, they each drew their swords only once.

Like a galaxy in the universe, a galaxy-like sword light appeared. Li Fan and the sword diagram behind him merged into one, and a Xuan Sha giant sword appeared, instantly transforming into a beam of intense light that tore everything apart.

Two beams of light appeared simultaneously, then merged into one. The clash of swords was no longer visible; only a destructive storm swept through, and the sword energy lashed against the body, forcing the Core Formation Realm cultivator to defend with all his might.

As they looked up towards the stairs, they saw Li Fan standing there as always amidst the storm of sword energy, while Guan Shanyue was no longer in her original position, but had appeared at a higher vantage point.

"Bang..." The terrifying sword intent around him dissipated, and his body was once again shaken back before he finally stopped.

Just like Qin Baiyu.

This is your limit, but not mine.

Martial arts training is only one aspect of his relatively weak performance.

Li Fan's arrogant words echoed in everyone's ears; he had the right to say such a thing.

Shen Jing's face was ashen, his eyes filled with ruthlessness and a deep sense of jealousy.

Why is this so? Guan Shanyue is like an insurmountable mountain in his eyes.

However, Li Fan easily bypassed it.

Was his sword really that bad?
He is a sword cultivator from Lingxiao Pavilion, why would he do this?
The scene before them was extremely impactful. Although they were upset by the powerful combat strength displayed by the top geniuses of Baiyujing Academy, they still acknowledged it in their hearts.

After all, they were the top cultivators in Baiyujing.

However, Li Fan stepped forward and defeated two people in succession, which seemed to destroy their confidence. Bai Yujing's prodigy was invincible, so how did Li Fan win?

It's not that the cultivators of Baiyujing are invincible, but rather, they are simply not good enough!
When Li Fan defeated Guan Shanyue, even in a distant hall, a wisp of sword intent could be felt, indicating that many senior figures were also watching the battle.

For so many years, someone actually wanted to choose Bai Yujing?
"Thank you for your kind offer," Li Fan said to the dazed Guan Shanyue, then continued upwards, while Guan Shanyue retreated somewhat dejectedly.

The people's feelings towards that figure now seemed different. What they had seen before was arrogance and ignorance, but now they saw soaring pride and unparalleled arrogance.

Alone, I tread the path of Baiyujing.
