I just want to kill you all, or be killed by you all.

Li Yang was puzzled.

Ning Xinyao took out a sword with a sword spirit and handed it to Xiao Feng. Did she expect her, a mere mortal, to kill a Foundation Establishment prodigy?

"Junior brother, she's already a big fan of yours. But she can't cultivate and can't follow you. Take her with you into battle and fulfill this wish."

Ning Xinyao's mindset also wavered.

Although Xiao Feng is the mortal form of her great-aunt, the current Xiao Feng is just Xiao Feng. She is not the high and mighty ancestor of the Ning family, nor is she a illusory immortal in the Mahayana stage.

They are in a world of the extraordinary, yet they cannot cultivate themselves; they can only spend their lives in the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death.

At least leave her with a beautiful memory.

only--

Li Yang immediately yelled, "What's wrong with you?"

Ning Xinyao stared with her beautiful eyes wide open.

"This is a life-or-death struggle. Do you think this is child's play? Do you think you can control all of this? Why don't you go and kill all these guys outside?"

Do you have some misunderstanding about my abilities?

I have broken through, but not to the Core Formation stage, only the Foundation Establishment stage.

I, a Foundation Establishment Level 1 cultivator, am going to fight more than ten Foundation Establishment Level 2 prodigies. If I'm not careful, I'll be killed. And you want me to bring a burden along, just for the experience?

Are you out of your mind?

Ning Xinyao's temples throbbed with anger at Li Yang's "concerned" look and greeting, as if he were treating her like a fool. She forced back her resentment and explained:

"This sword has a sword spirit, but only she can wield it. Hug her from behind, place your hands on her sword-wielding hand, and you'll surely be able to sweep these guys away."

Even after she explained, Li Yang still looked at her like she was an idiot.

"Have you ever really fought? In the slightest ripple of a battle, she, a mere mortal, would have exploded into a bloody mist in my arms."

Have you been reading too many novels and biographies?

Have I been brainwashed by those scenes where the male lead grabs the female lead's hand and says, "I'll take you to kill someone"?

In a life-or-death battle, you have no way of predicting what your opponent's trump card is.

If the opponent has a secret technique that ignores spatial distance and can kill her instantly, then I won't be able to use this sword with a sword spirit, and I will be killed as well.

Senior sister, are you really a sword cultivator?

This question from the depths of her soul stumped her.

"Probably not. This sword was brought from the family; its power is unmatched..."

"Should?" Li Yang questioned. "We're trapped here, with the old devil holding our heads, and you're telling me he might just be curious about my past!"

Ning Xinyao was rendered speechless by the rebuttal.

Even Xiao Feng was so fierce that she dared not speak.

She was actually looking forward to it.

It must have been an exciting experience far exceeding her mundane life as a maid.

"What can you do then?!" Ning Xinyao snapped, pulling out a silver talisman. "Then let's just leave! Do you think I like this kind of situation?!"

Li Yang sighed.

Female cultivators are troublesome.

They know nothing, are full of trivial matters, have a vivid imagination, and are easily swayed by emotions.

"I'll give it a try."

Li Yang reached out to Xiao Feng: "Let me use this."

"Oh, oh~" Xiao Feng was very well-behaved.

Facing this immortal master brother, she couldn't muster any rebellious emotions at all.

This is a slender three-foot-long sword with an exquisitely crafted blade, resembling a masterpiece of art.

It's like capturing a condensed portion of moonlight and refining it from the icy essence beyond the nine heavens.

Crystal clear and radiant, it resembles a sleeping sea of ​​stars.

Li Yang's first impression was: the level is extremely high! Incredibly high!

Could this be the sword of that important figure?!

As soon as Li Yang's hand touched the sword, it seemed to resist from a distance as if it were alive.

Like a bristling Hajime, it frantically breathed at Li Yang, exhaling terrifying sword energy powerful enough to cleave the sky.

"The sword spirit has an owner, don't do anything reckless!" Ning Xinyao quickly reminded her.

But the next moment—

Within Li Yang's dantian, the killing sword intent left his body, and his entire body was enveloped in scarlet sword energy.

He scoffed, "A sword is a sword, a weapon for killing. No matter how good its quality, it's still a weapon for killing. Who are you trying to impress with this arrogant attitude!"

Li Yang's aura paled in comparison to the moon before this sword.

However, the pure swordsman's spirit made the sword tend to be peaceful.

But it was still unhappy with Li Yang's touch, like a pampered young lady being embraced by a dirty homeless man.

Seeing this, Ning Xinyao wanted to be shocked, but she couldn't be.

She had been shocked many times that day.

Li Yang's strength has repeatedly challenged her understanding.

His strength is secondary; it is his inner strength that truly impresses her.

Only a pure swordsman like this can suppress any divine sword weapon.

"You are in mortal form, I can accept that. It seems my master isn't completely blind."

Li Yang patted Xiao Feng's head: "Don't think nonsense. You are Xiao Feng, and you are also the ancestor of the Ning family. You are the same person."

I told you before—so never aspire to be like me.

You didn't listen to a word I said.

However, there's something I must tell you:

"You are the one who has brought the most disaster to Yongning County. If Huafan does the same again next time, I will surely kill you!" Li Yang patted Xiaofeng's face twice.

Although she had no intention of killing, Xiao Feng broke out in a cold sweat.

I don't know why.

The immortal master always does the opposite of what others do.

When everyone thought Bai Nishang was a mortal incarnation, they all tried to curry favor with her, except for the immortal master who chatted enthusiastically with one of his maids.

Now that I am in mortal form, my immortal master brother says he wants to kill me.

Li Yang, carrying the "Phoenix Sword," stepped onto the flying sword and left the protective area of ​​the alchemy furnace.

The reason this sword is called this is because the character "凤" (phoenix) is engraved on the blade.

"If none of you leave, that's easy—kill me, and you can use your abilities to date that girl."

If you're prepared to be killed, then I'll begin.

Li Yang's voice was not cold, but rather indifferent.

The moment the words left his mouth, his figure transformed into a streak of blood-red light, heading straight for the golden dragon.

"I'll kill you first!"

Jinlong's pupils contracted.

Li Yang's speed was too fast, as if there was no resistance at all, and he arrived in front of me in the blink of an eye.

"roar!"

It roared and slammed down with its claw, leaving five claw marks in the void. The claws contained the power to tear through the sky, and the power of its blood and qi was dazzling, making it impossible for ordinary cultivators to defeat.

Previously, if Li Yang had gone head-to-head with someone, he would have been sent flying with a single swipe of his claw.

In a contest of strength, he is no match for a pure-blooded dragon.

But after his transformation, Li Yang's strength reached a completely new level.

"Clang!"

With a single sword strike, it was as if a galaxy of stars had been unleashed.

The void cracked open; it really cracked open.

The Phoenix Sword tore through the sky, traversing heaven and earth, brutally annihilating the five claw marks.

"Tch~!"

Dragon blood splattered, and one of the golden dragon's claws was severed.

Those proud dragon scales and flesh were as thin as paper in front of it, extremely sharp!

This is appalling.

Even Li Yang was taken aback.

Such sharpness makes it a true divine weapon!

"Don't be afraid! He's only at the first level of Foundation Establishment. No matter how strong that sword is, how much of its power can he unleash?" Gu Zang pondered. "Let's attack together! We are all geniuses in the mid-to-late stages of Foundation Establishment. If we are scared away by a mere first-level Foundation Establishment sword cultivator, how can we have the face to cultivate in Kunzhou!"
