CHAPTER 311: CHAPTER 306: LEARN YOUR WAY OF THE SWORD?

The Palace Master of the West Emperor Palace, Liu Zonglin, showed a hint of surprise. Was this child’s Flying Sword Technique even stronger than that of the Sword Cultivators from West Flame Island?

Beside him, Kong Zhou’s expression grew more serious as he gazed at the battlefield. The two stopped their conversation, and the atmosphere became subtly tense.

It was understandable for cultivators from the West Emperor Palace to lose, but if the Sword Cultivators from West Flame Island were defeated by the opponent... and moreover, in a higher realm, losing the Sword Control Technique to the opponent would clearly be a disgraceful event for West Flame Island upon its debut.

The key point was that the cause of this battle was West Flame Island wanting Li Fan to continue performing, possibly giving him a chance to enter West Flame Island. Li Fan refused to perform, and the Sword Cultivators from West Flame Island took to the field.

If they were defeated... it would be somewhat ironic.

Although there were still whispers among the crowd, the voices unknowingly quieted, subtly changing the atmosphere of the Demon Slaying Summit.

Wang Shoucheng naturally sensed this subtle change. His gaze turned toward Li Fan, retracting his previous dismissive attitude. His arm raised, Sword Intent surged, radiant sword light flowed from his body to his fingertips, shining with silver brilliance, accompanied by whistling sounds. Suddenly, flying swords appeared simultaneously in different directions around him.

Those flying swords resembled swimming fish, wrapped in silver lightning. The silver light in the sky transformed into countless threads, all converging at Wang Shoucheng’s fingertips.

At the same time, the center of Wang Shoucheng’s brows burst into brilliance, resonating with the Sword Intent at his fingertips. His entire being was enveloped in silver threads, filled with the destructive aura of Sword Dao.

With Li Fan’s thought, Nine Swords Cross the Sky, laying separate, devouring thunder, each sword carried intense pressure.

"Sword Control Duel."

Those around held their breath as the Demon Slaying Summit’s venue gradually quieted; countless gazes fixed on the two figures standing facing each other in the battlefield.

Though separated by some distance, their flying swords could instantly strike.

"Ssss..."

Silver light surged forth as Wang Shoucheng’s fingers flicked, pointing toward Li Fan. In an instant, silver light filled the sky, beams of light shot out, and the Fish Killing Sword simultaneously locked onto a target. With just a thought, Li Fan seemed buried in silver threads.

"Boom!"

Almost simultaneously, the Li Hen Sword appeared, a sword bursting forth with terrifying killing power from the very first strike.

"Attack against attack."

The crowd’s eyes were riveted to the battlefield. Li Fan did not choose to defend against the Fish Killing Sword Control Technique with flying swords but chose to counterattack, using flying swords to assault Wang Shoucheng.

Such a battle was extremely dangerous; whoever could not withstand the other’s flying swords first might be killed by them.

Flying swords strike out, never missing.

But thus, this not only tested the killing power of their Sword Dao but also their defensive abilities, questioning whether they could withstand the opponent’s Sword Control attacks.

Silver lightning instantaneously struck, the Sword Veil encircled Li Fan, his body transformed into the Heavenly Essence Sword Body. When the Fish Killing Sword attacked, a swirling Sword Array appeared around Li Fan.

"Ssss..." The silver light fell upon the Sword Array, but it was met with numerous rotating and swirling sharp swords. The piercing sound of silver swords could be heard but they could not penetrate the Sword Array’s defense.

But then, above Li Fan’s head and to his left and right, a vortex storm arose, silver swords simultaneously descended, attempting to forcibly breach Li Fan’s defense.

"Buzz..."

Li Fan charged straight up towards the sky, forcibly breaking through the silver flying sword’s attack. The Sword Array swirled around, his eyes still locked on Wang Shoucheng, the brilliance intensified at the center of his brows.

A smiting light burst forth, Wang Shoucheng raised his left hand to transform the Sword Map, yet astonished by the incredible speed of the light, seemingly ignoring spatial distance and instantaneously striking.

"Careful..." a Sword Cultivator from West Flame Island warned from the spectator area. With a thunderous explosion, the Sword Map was broken before forming, Wang Shoucheng raised his palm to block, countless silver threads wrapped around the palm but were still pushed back by the bursting flying sword.

Before he could recover, the second flying sword had already shot forth.

A beam of light appeared in the air, a domineering flying sword descending with terrifying power.

"Such domineering Sword Control Technique." Although the Sword Cultivators from West Flame Island were proud, they recognized swords, and seeing the domineering nature of Li Fan’s flying sword, their brows furrowed.

His flying swords’ attacks need no brewing; they can instantly burst forth with tremendous power.

Moreover, in that instant of attack and defense, it even gave them the illusion that the sword seemed to be traversing the void, ignoring spatial distance—is this the ultimate speed?

"Shoucheng is in danger," a Sword Cultivator whispered.

This young sword cultivator in white is far stronger than they imagined, even his Sword Control Technique has reached the pinnacle.

As the second sword came to kill, the light grew bright between Wang Shoucheng’s eyebrows, and a terrifying vortex appeared before him, swallowing the incoming sword surrounded by sharp blades.

"Buzz..." Above, the third sword came to kill.

Wang Shoucheng’s face turned gloomy, a sword appeared in his right hand, he waved his arm, and as the sword rose a silver storm surged, a huge silver sword soared into the sky.

"I just want to see how strong your flying swords are." At this moment, Wang Shoucheng abandoned the flying sword attack and focused solely on defense.

From the start, the two were engaging in the Sword Control Technique duel, but by now, it was clear that Wang Shoucheng’s Sword Control Technique was defeated.

Li Fan hovered in midair, surrounded by a Sword Array, his gaze fixed forward. After all, Wang Shoucheng is a sword cultivator from West Flame Island, his swordsmanship is not lacking, but to use Sword Control Technique to break through his defenses and defeat him is still not a simple task.

Yet, it is enough to trap Wang Shoucheng in a dilemma from which he cannot extricate himself.

"Earlier when talking about Sword Control Technique, I thought your Sword Control Technique was strong, but it turns out to be just mediocre." As Li Fan spoke, one flying sword after another traversed the void, assaulting Wang Shoucheng, seemingly wanting to tear the space around him into countless pieces.

"The sword travels through the sky, endless and relentless. What a domineering flying sword attack." The crowd gazed at the battlefield, Nine Swords traversing the sky, assaulting around Wang Shoucheng. They couldn’t even see the trajectory of the swords, only seeing countless sword lights shuttling around Wang Shoucheng, the sound of the sword whistling piercing their eardrums.

"Wang Shoucheng is already defeated."

The crowd thought, Wang Shoucheng’s swordsmanship is also very strong, the silver light covering the sky weaves into a sword net, repeatedly repelling the attacking flying swords, but he is already trapped in the onslaught of flying swords, deeply stuck in a quagmire unable to save himself. He wants to rush out to escape, but those omnipresent flying swords won’t give him a chance.

"How long can you hold on?"

Li Fan stepped forward on his sword, standing above Wang Shoucheng, the Li Hen Sword had formed an array, Wang Shoucheng was bound to lose.

Only to see a sword glow flash between his eyebrows again, the killing Sword Intent filled the sky, the omnipresent flying swords reappeared, all pointing towards Wang Shoucheng.

"Buzz..." Those flying swords flew towards the same direction, forming a terrifying Sword Array, circling in the sky, pointing downwards, as if beams of light fell from the sky, a giant sword condensed and formed, with runes shining on it, surrounded by endless Sword Intent.

"Fall."

Li Fan sent forth his intent, and with an intense booming sound, the giant sword descended in a fierce slash, a radiant beam of sword light exterminating downward, Wang Shoucheng roared, slashing towards the sky, colliding with the giant sword.

But then came the booming sounds around, bang... Wang Shoucheng groaned, blood spurted from his mouth, his body was blasted away by the sword.

"Boom boom boom."

A series of attacks fell, crashing onto Wang Shoucheng, the sword in his hand dangled powerlessly, yet one sword after another rapidly spun around his body, seemingly taunting him.

"I have entered West Flame Island to learn this kind of sword from you?" Li Fan waved his hand, the Li Hen Sword flew back, speaking with unmistakable sarcasm.

He claimed he had not offended West Flame Island, but since West Flame Island likes to flaunt its pride, he need not be polite.

Wang Shoucheng was precisely a sword cultivator cultivated by West Flame Island.

West Flame Island gave him a chance to perform before considering letting him in, he entered West Flame Island to learn Wang Shoucheng’s sword?

Such words are already unapologetic, not only targeting Wang Shoucheng but also the sword cultivators of West Flame Island.

Blood spilled from the corner of Wang Shoucheng’s mouth, his eyes filled with anger, yet he was also deeply ashamed, as he had initiative in provoking Li Fan, only to meet such a fate, Li Fan crushed him just with Sword Control Technique, rendering him breathless until he was defeated, and under inferior circumstances in terms of cultivation level, illustrating the obvious disparity between the two.

This battle of his also brought shame to the face of West Flame Island’s sword cultivators.

West Flame Island’s sword cultivators with sharp eyes looked towards Li Fan.

These sword cultivators from West Flame Island were humiliated by a young sword cultivator.

"Sword Dao talent is extraordinary, and Sword Control Technique is equally exceptional. Your Sword Dao talent and prowess are top-notch." West Flame Island’s Kong Zhou looked at Li Fan and said: "I know you are young and arrogant, and you deserve such a qualification, but the sword is not better just because it’s sharper, being too rigid is prone to breaking; young people still need to cultivate a Sword Heart."
