CHAPTER 310: CHAPTER 305: FLYING SWORD

Li Fan furrowed his brows.

Why does it never end?

First it was Song Siyu and his group, then the Palace Master of West Emperor Palace wanted him to perform, which he clearly refused, and now a Sword Cultivator from West Flame Island has appeared.

He refused again, and now, another Sword Cultivator appears.

"What is it?" Li Fan sensed the sharpness in the other’s gaze, and his voice also carried a sharp tone, clearly showing his annoyance.

"Seeing your Sword Dao is extraordinary, I wish to spar with you on Sword Dao." The Sword Cultivator walked forward with his sword in hand, and as he stepped, swords appeared in the air, arrayed forward, the sound of sword cries growing from weak to strong as the Sword Intent spread continuously.

"Hmm?"

Among the crowd, the swords of some sword practitioners trembled slightly, as if eager to unsheath themselves.

"This..." His expression shifted slightly, looking up at the Sword Cultivator, sensing the formidable Sword Intent.

As the other continued forward, the sound of sword cries grew ever more intense, until a sharp whistle emerged in the sky, as if Sword Aura was tearing the void, relentlessly pressing towards Li Fan, seemingly wanting to tear him apart.

Li Fan stood quietly, making no movements, not releasing any battle intent, yet an incessant sharp aura pounded against him, the sharpness like an invisible sword stabbing into his body, hinting at the sensation of a thousand swords piercing him.

Li Fan looked at the other, slightly raising his head, a sparkle in his eyes, full of sharpness.

"State your name," Li Fan demanded, his intent as sharp as ever.

Even a clay man has a temper, and West Flame Island truly acts with great arrogance. If it’s about displaying talent, hasn’t his exhibition of Sword Dao talent been enough?

If West Flame Island is interested, they can recruit outright; whether he refuses is his freedom, yet the intent of the West Flame Island Sword Cultivator is for him to continue displaying.

He doesn’t even intend to join West Flame Island, so how could he continue performing, and he has made this rejection clear.

Hence, does a Sword Cultivator from West Flame Island walk out?

Thinking his talent insufficient, forcing him to perform, denying even his desire to leave?

This is truly a joke.

If they intend to mimic the Cultivators of West Emperor Island, courting disgrace, then he will have to oblige them.

First, let the other announce their name, so he can ’perform’ properly.

"For a Sword Cultivator, what need to ask for a name," the person who stepped out said indifferently, waving his hand as Sword Aura flowed out like a long river.

"I do not battle nameless individuals."

Li Fan stood calmly, responding.

The Sword Cultivator paused, casting a mocking glance at Li Fan, refusing his senior brother’s invitation, knowing of West Flame Island yet refusing to enter—this arrogant one, yet does not battle nameless individuals?

Then, let him lose thoroughly.

"Sword Cultivator from West Flame Island, Wang Shoucheng." He raised his arm, the sword flowing with it between heaven and earth, becoming increasingly sharp, enveloping the entire Martial Arts Arena with Sword Intent, almost suffocating.

Feeling that Sword Dao aura alone, it already surpasses the cultivator Liu Liangchen from West Emperor Palace.

This person shares the same cultivation realm as Liu Liangchen, both being cultivators at the Mid Stage of Condensed Core, yet he is a more pure Sword Cultivator, with Sword Dao talent far beyond Liu Liangchen’s.

Any Sword Cultivator from West Flame Island is talented in Sword Dao, which precisely limits their numbers.

But those who become Sword Cultivators possess strong combat power.

Li Fan felt the Sword Intent landing on his body, not resisting it. The Sword Intent flowed over him, seemingly merging with his body; inside him, a brilliant Sword Pill sparkled, resonating with the surrounding Sword Intent.

"Is your Sword Control Technique strong?"

Wang Shoucheng asked with a confident smile towards Li Fan.

An outstanding Sword Cultivator always practices Sword Control Technique, especially at the Condensed Core stage. Sword Control for killing is a must-learn lethal skill for a Sword Cultivator.

The strength of Sword Control directly reflects a Sword Cultivator’s Sword Dao talent.

Li Fan demonstrated exceptional Sword Control Technique when dealing with Liu Liangchen before, overwhelming him into helplessness, simultaneously showing that Liu Liangchen was not even a qualified Sword Cultivator.

As a Sword Cultivator of West Emperor Palace, he naturally practiced extraordinary Sword Control ability.

"It’s alright," Li Fan replied.

Of course, his Sword Control Technique is very strong. His battle strength has no match in the same realm, and his Sword Control Technique equally has no opponents.

The Li Hen Sword represents top-level Sword Control Technique; moreover, he has integrated other abilities into it beyond the Li Hen Sword.

This Sword Cultivator from West Flame Island dares to question the strength of his Sword Control Technique?

Perhaps, Wang Shoucheng is highly confident in his own Sword Control Technique.

"Alright?"

Wang Shoucheng smiled, since it’s just alright, he will see how Li Fan’s Sword Control Technique really is.

With a thought, a flying sword flew from him, landing before his fingertip, and all the Sword Intent between heaven and earth converged toward this sword at his fingertip, transforming into endless silver threads, surrounding the flying sword like a heavenly display of silvery lightning, even the cultivators observing could sense the powerful lethal Sword Intent within each filament of silver light.

Silver light blossomed around Wang Shoucheng, illuminating him entirely, even making the Martial Arts Arena appear brighter, as the silver sword light flowed through heaven and earth, each filament seemingly a sword.

"Go."

Wang Shoucheng pointed forward, his fingertip directing, the silver light blazing, resembling a silver serpent threading through the void, as if the connected silver light threads concealed countless silver flying swords simultaneously traversing in the heavens.

Everyone saw the radiant silver light appear as if it was about to engulf Li Fan in a breath, and the foremost silver lightning seemed unavoidable.

All observers felt a tremor in their spirits, as the Sword Cultivator’s flying sword kills an enemy in an instant, swifter than a flash of lightning, not mere words.

In just a thought, someone can be killed.

"Bang!"

A crack of thunder, and silver light collided with purple lightning, the dazzling flash causing many cultivators to squint momentarily; upon closer inspection, they saw a flying sword had accurately blocked that silver lightning.

Many cultivators were amazed, truly extraordinary; to capture and block such a fast flying sword was indeed remarkable.

The meeting of the two flying swords emitted a dazzling brilliance, but only for a moment. The silver light suddenly glided aside, like a fish swimming, bypassing Li Fan’s flying sword, carrying with it a vast silver brilliance to stab toward Li Fan, which, glowing silver, turned into a whirlpool, propelling the silver sword toward him with violent force.

Wang Shoucheng’s eyes showed intense confidence.

His Sword Control Technique, named Fish Killing Sword Technique, was fast as lightning, like a swordfish swimming in the sea, this entire space was the Sea of Swords, and there was no way Li Fan could block his flying sword.

The Fish Killing Sword Control Technique could defeat him in an instant.

He would demonstrate to Li Fan that there are heavens beyond heavens, and people beyond people.

But his smile lasted only a moment before another bright light pierced into his eyes, as his flying sword moved forward, Li Fan’s flying sword was no longer blocked.

Thunderbolt light burst forth, a bolt of lightning pierced the space, merging sword and lightning, and with terrifying power. Upon seeing the sword light, he only then heard the terrifying noise of sword whistles explode in his eardrums, leaving him no time to consider the sword rushing toward Li Fan.

The two unleashed their lethal moves in an instant, making the observing crowd unable to react; everything happened in the blink of an eye, the speed of the swords seemingly surpassing their thoughts.

Before they had time to process, they saw Wang Shoucheng’s sword had reached Li Fan’s side, while Li Fan’s sword was similarly in front of Wang Shoucheng.

Flying swords are designed to kill; once released, the move is lethal, and a single move can be fatal.

"Buzz..."

That radiant silver light bloomed, seeming to pierce through Li Fan’s body, dissipating into the heavens.

"Afterimage..."

Upon seeing the dissipating figure, many people’s pupils shrank, looking toward another location not far off, where a string of afterimages stretched, and Li Fan already stood in another position, having avoided that otherwise fatal strike.

"Boom!"

A thunderous explosion came from another direction, extremely violent, the fierce Sword Intent rampant in the Martial Arts Arena. The crowd raised their eyes to see Li Fan’s flying sword collide with Wang Shoucheng, who, despite blocking the sword, was violently blasted away by the impact.

In one sword strike, though life and death weren’t decided, superiority was.

"Your Flying Sword Technique is not very effective, after all."

Li Fan looked towards the figure on the opposite side and spoke calmly. The smile on Wang Shoucheng’s face vanished without a trace; where was that previous calm confidence and arrogance?
