CHAPTER 308: CHAPTER 303: ONE SWORD

Li Fan felt the Sword Intent flowing around him and glanced at Liu Liangchen, whose indifferent gaze made Liu Liangchen feel humiliated.

He waved his hand, and suddenly golden sword lights flowed across the sky, appearing like countless golden threads slicing through the space like willow branches. They seemed silent and weak, but the golden light that passed through appeared to cut the space apart, slashing towards Li Fan.

His Sword Dao was as soft as it was strong, with extremely powerful attack strength.

As the golden light filled the sky, Li Fan moved in thought, and a Sword Array arose, forming a Sword Veil around him. When the golden willow leaf light struck down upon the Sword Veil, it attempted to cut through, but after entering the Sword Veil, it vanished without a trace.

"Hmm?" Seeing his Willow Leaf Sword unable to cut through the Sword Veil around Li Fan, Liu Liangchen frowned, then with a thought, his Dharma Form flickered, and golden light poured down from the sky above Li Fan, manifesting as a weeping willow tree adorned with golden swords that suddenly fell towards him.

The Sword Veil shook, developing cracks. The Sword Intent from the weeping willow continued to flow down, seeming endless, as if to bury Li Fan within it.

"Liu Liangchen has merged Spells with Sword Dao. Such attack power and destructive force are so potent that even in group battles, he can perform mass killings. Sword cultivators are truly formidable," someone praised.

Li Fan’s surroundings roared with wind and thunder, forming an area akin to a Sword Domain. He looked at Liu Liangchen and said, "A Mid Stage of Condensed Core Sword Cultivator, and your attack power only amounts to this? If this is your sword, then stop calling yourself a Sword Cultivator in the future."

The crowd was astonished by Li Fan’s words. They had just thought Liu Liangchen’s Sword Dao was formidable in killing, but now seeing Li Fan effortlessly responding without even counterattacking, could it be that Liu Liangchen’s sword wasn’t strong enough?

However, although they were both Sword Cultivators, Liu Liangchen’s cultivation was higher than Li Fan’s, yet he couldn’t breach Li Fan’s defense. It seemed...

Liu Liangchen looked embarrassed. With a thought, a clamor arose as golden sword lights surged wildly, and his Dharma Form continued to sway. His Dharma Form flowed with endless Sword Intent and continually extended upwards, forming a giant sword across the sky.

This sword resembled a gigantic willow branch but flowed with extreme sharpness, slashing towards Li Fan’s position, seemingly splitting the sky in two.

Li Fan glanced up, the mighty Sword Aura around him surged towards the sky, roaring with wind and thunder, transforming into a giant sword of wind and thunder, cleaving towards the sky, meeting the giant sword in a terrifying storm around.

"Boom..." A sound of explosion echoed, as a sword shot from Li Fan in an instant towards Liu Liangchen.

Liu Liangchen’s surrounding willow branches swept towards the sword, trying to entangle it, but the sharp sword tore through the willow branches, continuing forward with terrifying momentum.

Liu Liangchen formed seals with his hands, instantly making the golden willow branches extremely solid, like a prison, attempting to lock that sword.

But another booming sound echoed, and with a sword whistle to the sky, Liu Liangchen didn’t even need to look; the willow branches danced frantically to seize the second flying sword.

Liu Liangchen moved forward as well, eyes as sharp as swords, with golden light in his gaze, with willow branches covering the sky, sealing all directions as they rolled towards Li Fan.

His Dharma Form gave him control abilities. His swordsmanship combined with spells was unstoppable.

"Go."

Li Fan moved in thought, flying swords like pearls, each bursting with immense power, these flying swords carried wind and thunder, brilliantly dazzling.

The golden willow branches danced wildly, like countless golden tentacles, firm and sweeping towards all the flying swords, airtight, trying to block all of Li Fan’s attacks.

But Li Fan’s eyes flashed a hint of ridicule. The flying swords suddenly glowed even more brilliantly, beyond the wind and thunder, flames burned, sunlight fell upon the flying swords, seemingly igniting them and making them more brilliant.

Thunder, gale, flames... each flying sword rampaged, shattering the solid golden willow branches as the Nine Swords moved in harmony, twining and slaughtering.

"What’s happening?" Liu Liangchen frowned; Li Fan’s Sword Intent was incredibly astonishing.

A sword appeared in his hand, and with the sword in hand, countless willow leaves danced around his body, forming a gale that grew stronger, with countless Sword Aura howling.

"Buzz..." His body danced like willow leaves, and as he slashed out with his sword, a terrifying cyclone formed around, like countless sharp swords slashing out together.

When Li Fan advanced on his sword, he saw numerous sword lights covering the sky simultaneously slashing down. Liu Liangchen only made one sword move, yet it produced a hundred swords.

"Flying Leaf Sword, impervious to wind and rain, integrated attack and defense, extremely powerful," remarked Song Siyu observing from afar. This swordsmanship was created by Liu Liangchen based on the Sword Manual from the West Emperor Palace.

She watched the swords slashing towards Li Fan, which sealed off all his directions.

"What’s he doing?" Under Song Siyu’s gaze, Li Fan acted as if he hadn’t seen them, walking towards the swords attacking him.

"Chh chh..." The cutting swords slashed Li Fan’s body, but his entire being shone brilliantly, his body like colored glaze, the sword light flowed over him, and the swords slashing him couldn’t harm him.

"This..."

Song Siyu’s face turned pale. Even for swords wielded from a distance, their power was still strong, yet could Liu Liangchen’s sword not harm Li Fan?

"Sword Body?"

The Sword Cultivators from West Flame Island focused their gaze on Li Fan.

"It should be a Sword Body," someone nearby responded, "Judging from the situation, it seems Liu Liangchen is sure to lose."

"Can you tell if it’s an Innate Sword Body or an Acquired Sword Body?"

"It should be an Acquired Sword Body forged, a type of Sword Manual," Yuwen Jing said, "Moreover, the Sword Pill he condensed must be extraordinary; just the Sword Intent does not lose to Liu Liangchen, who is a stage higher. This fight, there’s no suspense."

For cultivators, the difference in condensing the Dao Pill is also vast.

"In that case, it seems the West Emperor Palace cultivators are only inviting humiliation."

"The world is vast, not lacking in astonishing geniuses. Though we Sword Cultivators shouldn’t underestimate the world’s cultivators," Yuwen Jing stated.

"Senior brother, do not undermine others’ spirit. Even if this one’s Sword Dao talent is rare, are any of the Sword Cultivators from West Flame Island ordinary?" the young Sword Cultivator nearby stated proudly.

"Junior Brother’s Innate Sword Body is indeed extraordinary," Yuwen Jing smiled, "Look over there, he’s going to make a move."

On the battlefield, Liu Liangchen continued to wield his sword, the Nine Swords roared, but Li Fan’s flying swords had already forced him to constantly defend, and his Dharma Form’s power couldn’t hold off the flying swords.

Li Fan advanced on his sword to stand before Liu Liangchen, saying, "Is this the capital you pride yourself on?"

Liu Liangchen’s expression was grim, his body silently moving like willow leaves towards Li Fan, branches and leaves covering the sky, with sword momentum as a rainbow, slashing a sword towards Li Fan.

Golden sword lights filled the sky, cutting through the sky, brilliantly dazzling.

In an instant, Li Fan’s Sword Intent burst forth, a streak of sword light pierced the eyes, at extreme speed, instantly cutting through Liu Liangchen’s sword light, and then Liu Liangchen’s body was sent flying, blood blossomed in the air, and the swaying willow tree vanished without a trace.

"Senior Brother." Song Siyu flew towards the battlefield, Liu Liangchen’s body fell to the ground, spitting blood his face as pale as paper.

"You can’t even take a single sword?"

In the air, standing upon his sword, Li Fan looked down, while Liu Liangchen looked up at the figure, unbearably ashamed.

A single sword, while his previous arrogant words still lingered in his mind, yet he couldn’t withstand even one sword from Li Fan. He never thought the gap between them would be so vast.

Both being Sword Cultivators, why was it like this?

The West Emperor Palace cultivators who previously mocked Li Fan also had face-losing expressions, as this confrontation was also a slap to their faces. If others came instead of Liu Liangchen, would the outcome be the same?

Li Fan looked towards the direction where the West Emperor Palace cultivators gathered and spoke, "Let me reiterate, I stayed at the West Emperor Palace to join the Demon Slaying Summit because as a Sword Cultivator, one should slay demons and eliminate evils. I have no intention of showing off, so stop the endless entanglement from now on."
