Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 430 Sword Qi Soaring Through the Sky
Outside Xijiang City, demons danced wildly, and the ground trembled.

The crowds inside and outside the city stared in shock at the scene before them, trembling with fear.

"My life is over." One cultivator gritted his teeth and raised his weapon, while others turned and ran away.

At that moment, a sword's cry echoed in the sky. Some people looked up and saw nine silver lights flying towards the fleeing demon army. In an instant, countless demon heads flew into the air, and blood-red rain began to fall from the sky.

Countless people stared in shock at the scene before them, their eyes wide and their bodies trembling, unsure whether it was fear, excitement, or both.

The nine silver lights moved at extremely high speeds, almost invisible to the naked eye. It was as if everyone was watching nine silver lightning bolts wreak havoc among the demon army, and no demon could survive in their wake.

In a short while, all the demons in the air fell to the ground, and the demon army that charged at the forefront had turned into corpses that piled up on the ground, forming a hill.

The crowd stopped when they saw the demons that had not yet been killed in the distance, their eyes filled with fear, just like they had been moments before.

"Sword cultivator, great sword cultivator." The silver light gradually faded, and everyone could finally see that there were nine swords. There were humans kneeling on the ground at the city gate. To them, these nine swords from outer space were like a miracle.

At this moment, they turned to look towards the direction of Xijiang City. Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and demonic energy obscured the sun. Worry was evident in their eyes. A great demon had descended upon Xijiang City.

Inside Xijiang City, Li Fan, dressed in white, sat cross-legged on his flying sword, with Lu Yuan and Yue Qingqiu beside him.

"The sword cultivators of Lishan must have descended the mountain to slay demons and monsters back then, just like this." Lu Yuan looked at Li Fan's profile with her beautiful eyes, her heart slightly rippled.

Now, he is also a great swordsman, full of vigor and his demeanor is no less than that of the predecessors of Lishan.

Moreover, he will become more and more outstanding.

Below, countless people looked up at the sky. Dark clouds rolled, and blood-red light flashed in the air like lightning. A terrifying pressure enveloped the area above the city, as if it were the end of the world.

At this moment, numerous demonic figures swooped down from within the black mist, heading towards Xijiang City.

"Pretend to be a ghost."

Li Fan uttered a sound, and a sword light cleaved through the void, seemingly splitting the sky above Xijiang City in two. Thunder roared, and purple lightning bloomed across the sky, crashing down on the black mist like a heavenly tribulation.

In an instant, the black fog dissipated, and light appeared.

But in the air above, four figures appeared, their eyes filled with evil intent, looking down at Li Fan who was sitting cross-legged below.

"A sixth-realm sword cultivator, no wonder Xiao He asked us for help." An old man with a hooked nose stared at Li Fan, his sharp eyes seeming to want to devour him.

"Those two women are quite nice. Should I keep them?" Beside him, a pale-faced, devilishly handsome young man stared intently at Lu Yuan and Yue Qingqiu, a wicked smile playing on his lips.

"Don't underestimate them. Human sword cultivators excel at offense and can travel thousands of miles on their swords to kill enemies. They are not easy to deal with." A burly middle-aged man on the left said to Li Fan, keeping a closer eye on him.

None of them made a move. Standing between them was a tall, handsome young man in a white velvet robe. The three demons who had spoken seemed to be waiting for him to speak.

Li Fan then opened his eyes, his cold gaze seemingly concealing a sword intent, and glanced at the four demons: "Azure Emperor Sect."

“Four powerful demons at the sixth realm,” Li Fan thought to himself.

It seems that the Azure Emperor Sect is a top sect among the demon race. In the wilderness, it is not easy to see even a sixth-realm demon under normal circumstances.

When Li Fan's eyes swept over, the handsome young man at the head of the group raised an eyebrow. He saw contempt in the eyes of the human swordsman in white.

It's like looking at a dead person.

"And who are you?" the handsome young man asked. "My Azure Emperor Sect should not have offended you in any way, should it?"

For many years, the Azure Emperor Sect has kept a low profile, trying its best to avoid conflicts with human cultivators.

"Does the imperial court know of your Azure Emperor Sect?" Li Fan did not respond to the other party, but instead asked in return.

Demons lurk among humans, and he must make the whole world aware of what happened in Xijiang City.

"Why waste words with him? I'll go kill him." The old man with the hooked nose stared at Li Fan with his cold eyes. He took a step forward, and a terrifying hurricane appeared, accompanied by bursts of demonic thunder. In an instant, the sky above Xijiang City was shrouded in an extremely oppressive atmosphere, and the demonic wind blowing on the crowd below made everyone shiver.

"Don't underestimate us. We'll cover you." The burly middle-aged man beside him said as he stepped aside, exuding a murderous aura.

From the other side, the sinister-looking man emerged, emanating an aura of extreme cold.

Only the handsome young man remained standing there, staring at Li Fan.

"They are all sixth-realm demons." The people of Xijiang City trembled inwardly, the terrifying scene in the sky making them involuntarily worry about Li Fan.

“This demonic art is indeed learning from human cultivators.” Li Fan stood on his sword and looked up at the four demons.

With a long howl, a huge demonic shadow appeared above Li Fan's head, behind the hook-nosed old man. It was a thunder eagle, its wings spread wide, blotting out the sky and the wind and thunder raging over Xijiang City.

With a flap of its wings, enormous lightning spears shot through the void, hurtling towards Li Fan at terrifying speed. The horrifying sight made the crowd below tense, as if each lightning spear could pierce through space itself.

Li Fan stood quietly in place as the terrifying spear struck down with a deafening roar, creating a sword energy barrier above his head that continued to expand.

The great demon's wings flapped more and more violently, raging a hurricane and annihilating the sky with thunder. The countless lightning spears pierced down, causing the sword curtain to tremble and crack.

Upon seeing this, a murderous glint flashed in the old man's eyes. A thunderclap streaked across the sky, and his body moved with the lightning, instantly disappearing from his spot.

The crowd saw a beam of lightning descend from the sky along with countless spears, aiming straight for Li Fan. "Be careful..." someone below even shouted involuntarily. The intense light was too dazzling, piercing through the heavens and earth in an instant, faster than their voices could be heard.

It was too late; their hearts were pounding.

But the next moment, their gazes froze. Where Li Fan stood, golden divine light shot straight into the sky, swooping down at terrifying speed to kill the old man who was standing there. The old man's body was frozen in place, a golden dragon encircling the demonic shadow behind him, golden claws gripping his body, and golden dragon eyes gleaming with cold light.

Li Fan remained standing there quietly, simply watching him.

At this moment, he raised the sword in his hand and quietly thrust it towards the old man in the ditch. The old man's demonic energy burst forth violently, as if he wanted to transform into his true form, but the sword pierced through instantly, the demonic energy leaked out, and his body seemed to be nailed in the air.

As Li Fan's sword flashed, his left hand reached out and grabbed at the air. Instantly, a demon core appeared from the opponent's body and flew into Li Fan's palm.

"No..." The old man with the hooked nose was filled with fear. The golden dragon's claws came down and crushed his body. The huge demonic shadow disappeared into the air, and the demonic aura that filled the sky also dissipated.

Looking at the white-clad figure standing with his sword, it seemed he hadn't moved his feet at all.

"So powerful!" Countless people in Xijiang City stared in shock at the scene before them, their hearts surging with excitement. That handsome white-robed swordsman was even more terrifying than they had imagined.

A powerful demon of the sixth realm can be killed with a wave of the hand.

Even the other three great demons didn't have time to react and were stunned in place.

The wicked young man's eyes lost their previous playfulness and became extremely solemn. A chilling aura emanated from him, and frost appeared in the sky.

On the other side, the burly middle-aged man also looked serious, his murderous aura growing stronger and stronger, and a storm of murderous aura swept across the sky.

The handsome man standing at the top stared at Li Fan; that was Martial Soul.

This human cultivator is not only a sword cultivator, but also a martial arts cultivator.

"I am the Demon Sparrow of the Azure Emperor Sect. There is no enmity between the Azure Emperor Sect and you. How about we let this matter drop?" The handsome man said to Li Fan, sensing danger from this human sword cultivator.

Although he was far stronger than the Black Eagle Demon, he was still not confident in dealing with the human cultivator in front of him.

But why would such a human appear in a mere small town?

Li Fan held his sword, his body floating into the air, looking at his opponent with disdain.

"I am not afraid of you. If you really want to make an enemy of the Azure Emperor Sect, no matter who you are, I'm afraid you will not have a good ending." The other party stared at Li Fan and continued.

"is it?"

As soon as Li Fan finished speaking, his body disappeared from the spot.

"Be careful!" the handsome man shouted. The sinister youth beside him sensed the danger and unleashed a terrifying demonic aura, about to transform into his true form.

A flash of cold light appeared and disappeared in an instant, and a huge demon's head was severed. He had just transformed into his true form when he was beheaded.

"withdraw."

The handsome young man soared into the sky, while the burly middle-aged man beside him also turned and left.

"go."

The sword in Li Fan's hand flew out, its light dazzling, tearing through space. With a soft thud, the burly middle-aged man's head exploded.

The flying sword did not stop, but continued to chase after the fleeing figure high in the sky.

"boom!"

The demonic figure sprouted wings and moved at incredible speed.

Li Fan closed his eyes, his flying sword whistling through the sky, and uttered a killing cry: "Soul Chaser."

The sword light in the sky seemed to pierce through the void in an instant, penetrating the body of the handsome young man.

The sword roared through the sky, and the flying sword slashed continuously. The figure vanished without a trace, and when the flying sword returned, it landed in Li Fan's palm with a demon core.

After the battle of Baiyujing, he went into seclusion to cultivate, and his cultivation level has reached the middle stage of the Dao Body realm.

Is the demon of the Azure Emperor Sect stronger than the prodigy of the Jade Capital?

But only one sword strike.

His only concern was that it would implicate the people in the city.

"Leave immediately and spread the news of this throughout the world." Li Fan shouted loudly as he looked down at the sky. If the world knew what had happened in Xijiang City, the imperial court would surely not sit idly by and would naturally send a powerful figure to Xijiang City.

"May I ask your name, senior?" someone asked, bowing towards the sky.

"Li Fan, Li Shan."
