CHAPTER 271: CHAPTER 266 REVERSAL

Just as Lu Yuan was about to draw his sword, a figure appeared in front of him.

Li Fan raised his left palm and stretched it forward, a scorching flame swept from his body, pouncing toward the rolling vines.

"Fire Attribute Qi Cultivator?" the elder murmured, fire restrains wood, but Foundation Establishment Realm’s Flame Magic is not enough.

The vines continued to grow, increasing in number, traveling with fire, resembling vine demons, like countless tentacles coiling toward Li Fan.

Sword Intent surged, Li Fan moved his thoughts, suddenly Sword Aura howled, countless sharp swords floated in front of him, born with wind and thunder, his palm swept through, suddenly these countless sharp swords, like a Sword Array, howled in front of him, as the vines approached, the Sword Array suddenly expanded outward, forming a huge Sword Veil across in front.

"Pff..." The intruding vines were instantly shredded.

"Indeed a Sword Cultivator, such strong attacking sword, Sword Cultivators’ attacking power is unparalleled, truly living up to the name." Luo Qingyan murmured lowly from afar, a Foundation Establishment sword, already capable of destroying attacks at the Condensed Core Realm.

"Sword Rises from the Heaven Element."

Li Fan thought to himself, the vast Sword Array moved forward, frantically crushing the vines, pressuring the elder like a Sword Dao curtain.

Li Fan had inherited two Sword Scriptures in the Secret Realm, the Thousand Soul Sword Canon and the Heavenly Essence Sword Scripture.

Among them, the Thousand Soul Sword Canon is led by the Divine Soul, while the Heavenly Essence Sword Scripture is profound and encompasses myriad sword techniques within.

At this moment, Sword Intent flowed on Li Fan’s body, as dazzling as the Innate Sword Body.

Luo Qingyan squinted his eyes, not far beside him, Meng Hong’s gaze also became heavier, saying lowly: "This Brother Yang, his background is probably not simple."

"Have you ever seen such a formidable Sword Cultivator?" Luo Qingyan asked.

Meng Hong shook his head: "Sword Cultivators are relatively scarce, those with extraordinary talent purely in Sword Cultivation even rarer, this swordsmanship, is certainly exceptional, these old monsters bullying juniors, now it seems, the outcome is still uncertain."

"Although extremely talented, he is after all only Foundation Establishment. Putting Old Demon Tong aside, this Long Old Monster hasn’t shown his true strength yet, it might still be troublesome. How about we lend a hand?" Luo Qingyan smiled at Meng Hong beside him.

Meng Hong was somewhat tempted, he had previously thought if Li Fan was a Condensed Core Sword Cultivator, he could form an alliance, but after all, he is only at Foundation Establishment, now attracting others’ attention.

On this West Emperor Island, to survive one must be a little cautious.

"Let’s wait and see." Meng Hong said.

In the battlefield, Long Old Monster saw the vast Sword Array coming and his gaze grew heavier, no wonder there’s high-level Sword Scripture hidden on him, seems his background is extraordinary.

In this way, after killing and seizing treasures, he must leave this West Emperor Island.

Thinking this, the killing intent in Long Old Monster’s eyes heightened, his thoughts moved, suddenly a huge Dharma Form appeared behind him, which was a towering Ancient Tree, the roots seemed to merge into his body, arms trembling, huge vines transformed into sharp blades, stabbing toward the Sword Array.

Huge vines knife into the Sword Array, breaking through it, even penetrating, and producing many tentacles grabbing toward Li Fan.

Li Fan looked up, seeing the sky filled with vines covering the sky, the scene was spectacular.

Previously, on the ship to West Emperor Island, he had killed Fifth Realms demons, but now fighting human Qi Cultivators, he found humans more troublesome than demons.

"It must be swift and decisive." Li Fan thought, a surge of Sword Intent seemed to break through his flesh, soaring upward, faint dragon chanting voices emitting from his body.

"This fellow’s Dao foundation is incredibly strong, with Dragon-forged roots?" Meng Hong was increasingly startled seeing Li Fan, then saw Li Fan seemed to transform into a sharp sword piercing the sky.

The vines rolled toward him en masse, but Li Fan was extremely fast, traversing through the vines, moving straight forward through the gaps.

"Humph." Long Old Monster snorted coldly, extending his arm forward, his body seemingly fused with the Dharma Form, as his arm stretched, an Ancient Vine Tree grasped toward Li Fan, the vine branched into many tentacles, like a human hand opening, covering the whole area, locking down toward Li Fan.

"Seems it’s not too favorable." Luo Qingyan murmured.

"Hold on..." Meng Hong responded, staring at the battlefield, only to see Li Fan embodying a sword directly crashing forward, piercing sharp sounds emitted, as the multiple tentacles closed in, Li Fan pierced through the Ancient Vine Tree straight ahead.

Luo Qingyan felt a wave of aura, staring at the battlefield over there, was it captured?

"Boom." An explosive sound rang out, Long Old Monster abruptly swung his arm, the Ancient Vine Tree connected to his arm shattered into pieces, a streak of sword light shooting toward Long Old Monster.

Long Old Monster’s body retreated frantically, while the vines connected to his body transformed into countless sharp spikes stabbing toward the approaching figure.

Thunder light flickered, Li Fan’s body soared avoiding the spike attack, but those spikes seemed endless, continuing to assault him.

Meanwhile, the ancient tree on Long Old Monster’s body glowed brightly, spreading countless Ancient Vines outward, covering the sky, enveloping the whole world where Li Fan was, from behind and above extending tentacles back, like a celestial web.

"Buzz..."

The Li Hen Sword behind Li Fan unsheathed, Nine Swords Cross the Sky, whistling and moving in the air, surrounding him, continuously shredding the rolling vines.

"Boom."

Thunder roared, lightning struck down, bombarding Long Old Monster’s body.

"Thunder magic?" The old demon Long had a protective Ancient Vine Tree, and the thunder crashing on his body made him feel numb. His aged eyes stared at the young silhouette, somewhat embarrassed.

As the battle progressed, he sensed multiple attributes: fire, wind, thunder, with the sword at the forefront and others as support.

Combined with exceptional swordsmanship, not to mention talent, even his combat strength made Long wary.

"I came here to assess you, young friend, without malice, so why not end things here? I’ll take my leave." The old demon Long glanced at the other battlefields and noticed Li Fan was also surrounded by Five Realms Cultivators, more than one, prompting his retreat.

"Not yet satisfied, and you want to leave, elder?" Li Fan replied with a smile, and with a thought, countless apparitions emerged from him, each wielding a sharp sword, Sword Intent flowing through.

The old demon Long’s expression darkened, and the brilliance of his Dharma Form became more dazzling as he spoke: "Bind!"

As his voice fell, countless tentacles suddenly appeared in the air, entangling Li Fan’s many incarnations.

"Kill."

The same voice echoed in the air, and the vast Sword Intent on the incarnations exploded simultaneously, shredding the tentacles, and all of them charged down to attack the old demon Long.

"I gave you a chance, brat, but you didn’t take it. Don’t blame me for being rude." The old demon Long shouted, as countless vines sprouted from his Dharma Form, rolling towards the oncoming incarnations.

Countless incarnations simultaneously drew their swords, and at the moment of drawing, Thunder Light merged into the swords, a splendid scene as nine swords roared in the sky, charging at the true form of the old demon Long.

The old demon Long extended both arms, with thick tentacles colliding fiercely with the Li Hen Sword, debris flying all over the sky. A beam of light dive-bombed downward; it was Li Fan’s true body getting closer to the old demon Long.

A Wood Element Qi Cultivator, his own defense was weak.

"Get lost." The old demon Long roared, and the giant vine instantly wrapped around Li Fan’s body.

But at the very moment the vine closed in on Li Fan, a beam of light burst from his brow, circling around him at extreme speed, creating a Sword Dao aura around his body, with debris flying all around, as Li Fan’s form continued its downward rush.

The old demon Long was greatly shocked, as the ancient vine wrapped around himself to defend.

"Boom..."

A brilliant beam of Thunder Sword light descended, causing the countless vines to retract and dissipate, revealing the scene inside.

Luo Qingyan and Meng Hong saw a sword plunging from above through the old demon Long’s head, blood flowing, his body trembling uncontrollably, unable to lift his head, his eyes filled with terror and regret.

"Foundation Establishment killing Condensed Core." Meng Hong’s voice carried a tone of shock.

"And it’s even a single kill!" Luo Qingyan’s gaze toward Li Fan grew more radiant: "This kid is truly remarkable."

"Meng Hong, these old guys bullying the young, don’t you think we should act in righteousness?" Luo Qingyan said with a playful smile.

"As neighbors, it’s our rightful duty," Meng Hong nodded, as both advanced together.

At this moment, besides Sun Zhao battling Tong Liang, a female by Li Fan’s side blocked the sword-wielding Condensed Core Realm cultivator, while another stood behind, not yet engaged, so their assistance would still add value?

The person who hadn’t made a move scanned the battlefield, then suddenly turned and left without a trace.

"He ran?" Luo Qingyan was surprised, not having even made a move before the opponent fled?

"That guy probably noticed the unfavorable situation and slipped away," Meng Hong replied.

"What should we do?" Luo Qingyan asked.

"There are still two left; just make sure they don’t escape," Meng Hong suggested, heading to Yue Qingqiu’s battlefield to cut off the retreat.

"Makes sense." Luo Qingyan chuckled, heading to Sun Zhao and Tong Liang’s battle, blocking Tong Liang’s retreat.

After killing the old demon Long, Li Fan gathered the items from his body, then his form flickered, moving towards Tong Liang.

At that moment, Tong Liang and Sun Zhao separated. Tong Liang stepped back a distance and, seeing Li Fan approach, said, "You misunderstand, young friend. I already knew you were no ordinary person so I was only probing you. Please don’t take offense."

Just as Tong Liang intended to leave, Luo Qingyan blocked his path, smiling, "Where are you headed, Old Demon Tong?"

"Luo Qingyan, what do you mean?" Tong Liang squinted.

"I’ve never liked you. You wanted to take advantage of me before and now you’ve set your sights on Brother Yang. Why rush off now?" Luo Qingyan grinned warmly.

"Indeed, elder, since you’ve already intervened, why hurry to leave?" Li Fan also stepped forward.

Tong Liang’s eyes flickered uncertainly, "Brother Yang, I still have some good stuff with me. How about I gift it to you, young brother?"

"No need, it will be mine once you’re dead," Li Fan replied, and Tong Liang’s face instantly turned pale. Was this really a setback?
