But he didn't expect that Lu Yu had no intention of defending, forcing him to change his move temporarily and had to withstand Lu Yu's attack.

Removing a third of the force, he was also knocked to the ground.

He rolled in the air twice and stabilized his body upon landing, standing firm on his legs.

Li Qinfeng attacked Lu Yu where he landed, "Falling Stars!"

A massive sword shadow flew out, the martial arts phenomenon illuminated the world, and with one sword strike, the stars fell.

"Asura Slash!"

A bright and thin line sliced through the sky, dividing the sword shadow, stars, and night sky in two, the phenomenon vanished, the massive sword shadow halted in front of Lu Yu, slowly disappearing into the air.

Li Qinfeng saw Lu Yu effortlessly take his major move, his face grew serious, even though Lu Yu's aura wasn't strong, his strength was absurdly powerful, capable of unleashing peak Qi Sea Realm power.

"If that's all your strength, then this battle is over!" Li Qinfeng said coldly.

He flew up six meters, aligning with Lu Yu, and his aura suddenly surged.

Nine levels of Qi Sea Realm, peak of Qi Sea Realm, half-step Core Formation, Core Formation Realm!

In the blink of an eye, Li Qinfeng's aura had broken through to Core Formation Realm, truly becoming a Core Formation Realm Martial Cultivator, his internal Spiritual Power condensed into a Golden Core.

Whoosh~ A Sword Qi flew out, Lu Yu felt a tingling sensation on his skin, this Sword Qi could harm him.

Boom~ One slash extinguished Li Qinfeng's Sword Qi, Lu Yu used Heaven's Edge Ruler Step to close in on Li Qinfeng.

Heaven's Edge Ruler Step, between two points.

Lu Yu instantly appeared at Li Qinfeng's side, dropping a slash.

Li Qinfeng's sword flew out, spinning around him, blocking Lu Yu's blade, he took the opportunity to rapidly retreat.

He had already realized that Lu Yu's strength was extraordinary, even after advancing to Core Formation Realm, simply competing in strength wasn't rivaling Lu Yu.

The Flowing Cloud Sword returned to his hand, looking at the three notches on the Flowing Cloud Sword, he was somewhat helpless, after three collisions with Lu Yu's blade, three notches were left on it.

"If only I had Divine Soldiers, I wouldn't be in such a weaponless situation!" Li Qinfeng thought.

Looking at Lu Yu, the Golden Core in his body spun, Core Formation Realm power surged into the Flowing Cloud Sword, the surrounding air and Spiritual Qi rotated, the Flowing Cloud Sword constantly vibrating, emitting a humming sound.

"Kill him, then leave Black Sand City." Li Qinfeng made up his mind.

"Sword Control—Blast Sword!"

The Flowing Cloud Sword, wrapped in terrifying power, flew out, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around the blade trembling.

Seeing this, Lu Yu no longer held back.

Blood Burning Secret Technique, activate!

One Strike Must Kill! Asura Slash!

Lu Yu transformed into a scarlet lightning bolt slicing through the sky, halfway through, the Flowing Cloud Sword suddenly halted, its blade neatly split in half, and then the halved blade constantly flashed with fine knife lights.

Boom! The Flowing Cloud Sword exploded, countless fragments flying out.

In Li Qinfeng's eyes, the exploding Flowing Cloud Sword was reflected, along with the flying fragments and a scarlet lightning piercing the sky.

"Cough~ splat..."

Li Qinfeng coughed up blood, looking somewhat blankly at below, his body below the chest was already gone,

his face was tragic, his complexion mournful, perhaps he should have left this troubled place long ago.

Unfortunately, when he realized his mistake, it was too late.

No pain, he instantly lost consciousness, the power keeping his body afloat vanished, Li Qinfeng's half body plummeted to the ground.

A golden stream of fire chased the falling half body, before it hit the ground, the golden fire burnt the body into ashes.

The golden stream of fire fell to the ground, igniting the collapsed buildings, the raging fire burned, sins were consumed by the flames.

Lu Yu's Qi Blood calmed down, as he was about to turn away, he sensed a spiritual mark appearing within his perception range, a slight change appeared on his face.

Recalling the few spiritual marks he left behind, Xue Ming and the Asura Evil Ghost were dead, the spiritual marks on them naturally gone.

The spiritual mark on the guard outside the Sand Treasury, he also retrieved it before entering the Sand Treasury.

The only remaining spiritual mark was on the member of the Sand King's Palace he encountered while taking sand soil.

His appearance here indicated that the Sand King's Palace probably arrived as well.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Yu flew in the direction where he sensed the spiritual mark, but within a few seconds, the spiritual mark had already disappeared from his perception range.

He flew a distance in the direction of the sensed spiritual mark, and sensing its position again, he glanced at the below houses, now turned to ruins.

Without a trace of hesitation, Lu Yu smashed into the ground, shattering it heavily, broke through Black Sand City's underground array, and turned into a earthen yellow light burrowing into the ground.

Continuously approaching the position of the spiritual mark, Lu Yu saw the Sand King's Palace in the underground Quicksand River, he passed through the sand flow wall outside Sand King's Palace, clinging to the outer layer.

Because he didn't enter the Sand King's Palace, no one discovered him hanging on its dome.

The patrol inside the Sand King's Palace became much stricter after Lu Yu's previous intrusion, but they didn't expect someone would lie on the outer layer of their palace.

Constantly adjusting his position, approaching the place where the spiritual mark was, Lu Yu kept a distance from the Sand King's Palace wall, not touching it.

He wasn't sure if the Sand King's Palace had a sensing mechanism to detect objects touching it, he knew the Southern Heaven Hall of Divine Weapon Pavilion had such capability.
