Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 42 Sacrifice
The crowds of people retreated, but the people around them could not calm down for a long time. They could no longer tell who was righteous and who was evil.

The swordsman who just killed the demon in Lin'an County with one sword?

Complex and unspeakable emotions surged in their hearts. They took a look at the dying giant demon dragon and left this place one after another.

Not long after, Fulong Villa became quiet and silent again.

"Junior Brother, what's the intention over there?" Li Fan looked at Wen Ruyu and asked.

"Since I'm here, Xiaofan, don't you understand? Even if there was no Lin'an County incident, the court would have other excuses." Wen Ruyu responded, and Li Fan nodded immediately.

Now that the junior brother has arrived, Li Fan understands Li Shan’s intention.

It seems that this storm is bound to affect Lishan.

From the very beginning, the actual purpose of attacking Fulong Villa was to leave the mountain.

"Look at those people. They keep saying they want to slay demons and eliminate evil, but for an excuse, so many people died. They didn't have to do it, but they still did it." Wen Ruyu said, "Because they don't care about the deaths of those people at all."

After Li Fan's training in Lin'an County, he naturally saw those faces clearly. Just as his junior brother said, they slayed demons and eliminated evil, and talked about benevolence and morality, but they actually did cannibalistic things behind the scenes.

Chen Family and City God Temple are examples.

Wen Ruyu stepped down from the flying sword and walked towards Yu Qing, with Li Fan following behind him.

At this time, Yu Qing was already on the verge of death, and Liu Ji was also seriously injured. Liu Ji turned into a human form, with scars all over her body.

"Are you satisfied?" Wen Ruyu asked Yu Qing.

Yu Qing looked at Li Fan with his dragon eyes, and nodded his huge dragon head.

"Your father's demon pill was left to you back then, why don't you use it?" Wen Ruyu's eyes were like sharp swords, piercing Yu Qing.

Yu Qing glanced at Liu Ji beside him and said, "Liu Ji has been gifted since she was young. With the nourishment of the inner elixir, her cultivation speed is very fast. She can follow Li Fan and become his demon servant in the future."

Liu Ji's heart trembled violently, and she stared at Yu Qing, tears flowing uncontrollably: "That demon pill, is it from your father, Master?"

No wonder she is improving so fast.

She didn't know...if she knew, she would never use it.

"Don't be sad, this is my destiny. I have treated you as my sister since you were young. Your brother and I made the choice together. You must live well." Yu Qing said.

Only then did Liu Ji understand why Yu Qing wanted her to follow Li Fan.

It turned out that he had already made a plan from the beginning. Yu Qing knew her fate and he wanted her to live.

"Mr. Wen, this is my only request." Yu Qing said in a tired tone.

Wen Ruyu's eyes were sharp. Yu Qing had disobeyed Li Shan's intention.

The demon pill was left for him to improve his strength, but he secretly gave the demon pill to Liu Ji.

However, after taking a look at Li Fan beside him, Wen Ruyu didn't say much.

The junior brother has demon servants to protect him, so it is convenient for him to travel outside. The fact that Liu Ji was able to survive those attacks means that her own strength is not weak. With the help of the demon pill, she will have the opportunity to transform in the future.

"You can start now." Wen Ruyu said.

"Okay." Yu Qing nodded.

"What are you going to do?" Liu Ji's heart sank.

"Liu Ji, remember what I said to you." Yu Qing instructed. After that, a bright light suddenly appeared on his body. He opened his mouth and spit out a magic pill. It was his own magic pill.

"Li Fan, my soul has merged with a wisp of my father's dragon soul, and will be sacrificed to you along with the demon pill." Yu Qing looked at Li Fan and said.

Li Fan was stunned.

Many things suddenly became clear, so, from the very beginning, Li Shan was planning to let Yu Qing sacrifice himself to him?
Is this the real purpose of his trip?
"No..." Liu Ji looked at Wen Ruyu with an unwilling look in her eyes and asked, "Why?"

Wen Ruyu frowned.

"Why are you humans so cruel? He witnessed his parents' tragic death, and you imprisoned him for more than ten years in Lishan, just to make him a sacrifice." Liu Ji shouted, "Humans killed his parents, so what's wrong with him eating them? What's wrong with that?"

"Yes."

Wen Ruyu replied.

Liu Ji was stunned, staring at him intently and asked, "Why?"

"Humans killed his parents, so he ate them. He ate a whole village of innocent people. What was wrong with those innocent people?" Wen Ruyu replied: "He ate people, so what's wrong with me killing him?"

Liu Ji lowered her head and remained silent.

"A monster that eats humans deserves to die." Wen Ruyu said coldly, "If you have the ability, you can kill me."

"I will." Liu Ji stared at Wen Ruyu.

"Shut up." Yu Qing saw Li Fan's expression change and yelled at Liu Ji. Liu Ji looked at him and said with tears in her eyes, "Master..."

"Kneel down." Yu Qing looked up.

"Kneel down!" Yu Qing shouted again when he saw Liu Ji didn't move, and Liu Ji knelt on the ground.

"My soul will continue in Li Fan. I am your master. From now on, Li Fan is your master. Do you remember this?" Yu Qing said coldly, but sighed in his heart.

He knew he was going to die, so he kept warning Liu Ji not to eat humans. If she did, she would have no way to escape.

He hopes Liu Ji can survive!
"Yes, master." Liu Ji was in tears. She certainly understood Yu Qing's intention.

"Junior Brother..." Li Fan also looked at Wen Ruyu.

"Junior brother, this dragon was executed by the imperial court more than ten years ago. A monster that has eaten innocent people must not live. These ten years were given to him by Lishan." Wen Ruyu said to him.

Li Fan understood his junior brother's character. There was no way a monster that had eaten humans could survive.

He sighed inwardly.

"Li Fan, it's okay. I have already accepted the arrangement of fate. Thank you." Yu Qing said to Li Fan.

"Let's start." Wen Ruyu glanced at Li Hongyi again.

Li Hongyi was also very upset. It turned out that the great dragon Yu Qing from Fulong Villa in Lin'an County was left behind by the mountain to be used as a sacrifice for Li Fan...

"Junior brother, she is fine." Li Fan said. Wen Ruyu nodded. With a thought, sharp swords flew out and then inserted into the surroundings of Fulong Villa. In an instant, the entire Fulong Villa seemed to be shrouded in a sword formation.

"Senior Yu, I'm sorry." Li Fan looked at Yu Qing. Although some regrettable things happened back then, what Yu Qing did in Lin'an County was actually doing good deeds.

"Over the years, I have been helping people to atone for their sins. It's not just because I have a kind heart, but because I hope to atone for my sins and let Lishan go." Jiaolong said, "In my heart, I still have a glimmer of hope."

Li Fan could understand.

"When I first saw you, although I admired you, I still felt a little sorry. But now, I have no regrets." Yu Qing continued, "Li Fan, my dragon soul contains not only my own soul, but also my father's dragon soul. From now on, it will be in your body."

As soon as he finished speaking, a low dragon roar was heard, and then a phantom of a dragon rushed out from the body of the giant dragon. It was the dragon soul.

The dragon soul surrounded his demon pill and rolled towards Li Fan's body.

At this moment, Yu Qing had a picture in his mind. When he was a teenager, he was playing in the North Sea, dragons were swimming in the sea, and above the sea, a domineering man was holding the hand of a gentle woman and walking on the waves.

"Dad, Mom, I'm an unfilial son and I'm here to find you." Yu Qinglong's soul drilled towards Li Fan.

Li Fan opened his mouth, and the dragon rolled up the demon pill and flew towards Li Fan's mouth and into his stomach.

Li Fan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. The terrifying aura in his body became restless again and devoured the demon pill frantically.

"what is this?"

Yu Qing's dragon soul also entered Li Fan's body. His dragon soul actually sensed a palpitating breath and was surrounded by a golden demonic aura.

"Boom..." Suddenly, the terrifying golden airflow swept towards him. The flowing golden object covered his dragon soul and eroded it bit by bit.

Soon, the golden airflow submerged his dragon soul.

Feeling that breath, Yu Qing suddenly understood why Li Shan chose Li Fan.

It turned out that the person he sacrificed was not Li Fan, but the demon in Li Fan's body!

A loud dragon roar came from Li Fan's body. Outside, Li Fan sat cross-legged, his body was wildly agitated, and the roaring sound became louder and louder.

Liu Ji and Li Hongyi stared at him intently, and both of them were a little nervous.

But what Liu Ji is worried about is Yu Qing. Will he disappear completely?
What made Li Hongyi nervous was Li Fan.

The roaring sound inside Li Fan's body became more and more intense. Wen Ruyu walked to the side, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rest.

Liu Ji and Li Hongyi were not so indifferent.

Sword intent surrounded Fulong Villa. After an unknown amount of time, dragon roars came from Li Fan's body. Above his body, a phantom of a dragon appeared and circled around him.

The dragon soul has been completely covered in Li Fan's body. Golden liquid is flowing in his body. Suddenly, a pair of eyes in the golden liquid suddenly opened.

The dragon's roar became louder and louder. Li Hongyi could only feel his eardrums vibrating, which was unbearable.

But her eyes were still fixed on Li Fan. She saw the golden light surging inside Li Fan's body. The phantom of the dragon gradually solidified and became brighter and brighter, circling around Li Fan's body and moving upwards.

Finally, it transformed into a golden dragon.

The pair of golden dragon eyes opened and looked at Liu Ji and Li Hongyi, like a real dragon.

"Owner!"

Liu Ji felt a familiar breath from the dragon, it was Yu Qing's breath.

The master left her.

"This is... Wu Po!" Li Hongyi also practiced martial arts, and she had heard her father mention martial arts practice.

Breaking through to the innate level in martial arts is a huge hurdle. For those who choose to practice martial arts because they do not have the talent for practicing Qi, their innate level will be their limit and difficult to overcome without a miracle.

People who have the talent for practicing Qi can also practice martial arts, but there are not many such people. People who practice martial arts prefer to spend their time practicing Qi.

The more talented a person is in practicing Qi, the less likely he is to practice martial arts. The martial artists in Lin'an County basically have no talent for practicing Qi.

However, once one breaks through the innate level of martial arts, one will have the opportunity to form a martial spirit, which is comparable to the Dharmakāya of a Qigong practitioner.

Li Fan, borrowing the soul of a giant dragon, condenses his martial spirit with the realm of a grandmaster!
