Huang Long Daoist's head flew into the air, his eyes still open, staring at his body with pupils full of fear.
The sky was filled with sword light, engulfing everything, and with an explosion, his flying head shattered, the soul dissipated, and the body fell downwards into the Medicine Cleansing Lake.
On both sides of the Medicine Cleansing Lake, those low-realm cultivators looked in astonishment at everything happening before them.
A Condensed Core killing a Taoist Body, is this truly possible?
In the high sky, the Sword Seed entered Li Fan's brow, and his body was still surrounded by Sword Intent. When he was in the West Sea, he had killed a demon and seized its Demon Core. That demon was adept in the Teleportation Technique, and Li Fan had since diligently practiced this technique, causing his movement technique to transform. He later comprehended swordsmanship and absorbed the strengths of Li Hen's Nine Swords, using the Destruction Sword Intent as a foundation, to create a sword technique: the Soul Chasing Sword.
This swordsmanship had already taken shape in the West Sea, and Li Fan had used it several times. After continually perfecting it, it was finally fully formed, and today, when facing the Dao Body Realm Huang Long Daoist, he used this deadly sword, killing Huang Long Daoist with one strike.
The instant kill ability of the Soul Chasing Sword is extremely terrifying, unless it's against someone with a very strong physical body, which can suppress this sword technique. For example, if facing that Great Flood Dragon, the Soul Chasing Sword would not be suitable.
But when he was launching mutual attacks with Huang Long Daoist with exceptionally strong Sword Dao, he suddenly mixed the Sword Seed into the myriad flying swords to release the Life-taking Soul-chasing Sword. By then, Huang Long Daoist was already too late to defend.
Even a Sixth Realm Dao Body Qi Cultivator still has weaknesses. Their physical defense is lacking, which is their flaw. If facing a Sixth Realm Martial Arts Practitioner, it might not be as effective.
Holding a sharp sword and standing in mid-air, the Jiao Dragon transformed by Liu Ji followed behind. At this moment, Li Fan looked down and suddenly dived downward; the flying sword abruptly entered the Medicine Cleansing Lake, and the sound of splashing continued. Fresh blood swiftly reddened the lake surface, and one Demon Core after another flew toward Li Fan.
All around, the cultivators at the Medicine Cleansing Lake remained silent, not daring to speak or even move. Even trying to escape, they feared being killed by Li Fan's flying sword from a distance.
Deep in the direction of the Medicine Cleansing Lake, more cultivators, hearing the commotion, flew over. When they saw the scene from afar, they dared not approach, their expressions peculiar.
What's going on?
A Condensed Core Realm Sword Cultivator could act so wantonly at their Medicine Cleansing Lake?
Moreover, was the lake surface stained with blood, and what about the Medicine Cleansing Lake cultivators and demon slaves in this area? Have they all been killed?
The battle aura just now, was it the Sixth Realm Huang Long Daoist, killed by this person?
More and more cultivators arrived, many bringing demon slaves with them. In an instant, numerous powerful auras weighed down this space. In the direction afar, demon energy billowed, and several terrifying auras arrived, all of Sixth Realm.
"Which cultivator dares rampage at the Medicine Cleansing Lake?"
A furious voice echoed high in the air, and a scorching blazing sun appeared in the sky. The furious flames dyed the area above the Medicine Cleansing Lake red, and the temperature rose rapidly.
Li Fan glanced up and saw the rolling, roaring flames condensing together, forming a giant hand seal, seemingly forged of molten lava, capable of melting metal and iron.
"Boom..."
The violent flame giant hand obscured the sky, as if to burn the heavens, slapping down from high above, covering the area where Li Fan and the others were located.
Li Fan's mind moved, and the Star Sword Domain emerged, countless Star Swords piercing high into the sky, blasting against the massive flame hand seal.
The violent flame hand seal directly melted the attacking Sword of the Stars. The cultivator who struck was even stronger than Huang Long Daoist, possessing terrifying mana, far exceeding Li Fan's.
On Li Fan's body, sword intent flowed, and the Star Sword Formation counterattacked upward. With constant booming sounds, finally, the giant flame hand seal crumbled, turning into a molten fire flowing downward.
But then, a piercing light beam shone down from high above. Above the broken flame hand seal, a red-haired elder sat riding atop a Flame Demon Lion, and a deep lion roar resounded, causing the air to tremble.
The Flame Demon Lion swooped down, its body massive, engulfed in fire. As it dived, the air seemed to catch fire, bringing a fiery airflow. An extremely strong pressure fell on Li Fan, even more oppressive than before with that Great Flood Dragon.
The torrential current pressed down, and the scorching flames seemed to want to bury Li Fan. The demon lion's sharp claws descended like a magical treasure, intending to kill. The Medicine Cleansing Lake cultivators, seeing the scene before them, thought that this Sword Cultivator was finally going to die.
However, at this moment, a brilliantly radiant light suddenly arrived, like a rainbow across the sun. A dazzling gleam blossomed in the air, causing many to close their eyes, and some squinted, their hearts throbbing fiercely.
What was that?
It was sword light.
Violent sword intent swept the high sky, and the mighty sword power, contrary to the oppression, upward. With a soft sound, the demon lion emitted a painful roar, blood flying wildly in the sky, and everyone's hearts pounded as they saw that streak of sword light split the demon lion's body, forcefully cleaving a Sixth Realm Great Demon apart.
The elder on the demon lion's back looked horrified, trying to retreat, but it was too late. That streak of light continued upward. With a soft sound, the once mighty elder of the Medicine Cleansing Lake was also cleaved in half with a single sword strike.
The sword light continued upwards, seemingly splitting the space in two. With one sword opening the heavens, it rendered the surroundings suddenly quiet, deathly silent, as if the whole world was reduced to that single beam of light.
The cultivators at the Medicine Cleansing Lake felt a suffocating pressure, with their eyes fixed fiercely on a single spot, only to see an old man appear next to Li Fan. His face was full of wrinkles, as if he were very old, yet the soaring sword intent flowing from his body was chilling.
"Sword Cultivator, a Great Sword Cultivator at the peak of the Taoist Body."
Indeed, quite formidable.
Li Fan also looked at the old man with some surprise. It was the same elder he had met at the tavern outside the city. Although he had guessed the other was a Li Mountain Sword Cultivator, he hadn't expected him to follow here and make a move.
As such, it would be impossible to continue hiding his identity at the tavern.
"Why have you come, senior?" Li Fan asked.
"You made it to Liuyue City; how could I not act? Otherwise, wouldn't it seem like I'm just throwing my weight around as an old man? What if someone seeks me out for an account when I return?" The old man laughed, not minding being exposed.
The Da Li Court and Li Mountain had already walked towards a rift, and now that Li Mountain had identified Li Fan's identity, as the inheritor of Li Mountain Sword Dao, the entire Li Mountain would serve him. Naturally, this old swordsman hiding in the world was no exception.
With that simple conversation, the people at Medicine Cleansing Lake naturally understood that Li Fan's identity was extraordinary, and since both were Sword Cultivators, the elders of Medicine Cleansing Lake vaguely guessed their origin.
"You come from Li Mountain?"
One elder from Medicine Cleansing Lake stood at a distance, speaking coldly. Back when the court attacked Li Mountain, Medicine Cleansing Lake was involved, seeking to profit from it. Although Li Mountain was hidden in the wilderness, it was rumored to control a number of top-tier Great Demons.
Yet, Medicine Cleansing Lake also harbored fears and did not get too deeply involved, but still bore the brunt of revenge.
Now, it seemed these people came to Medicine Cleansing Lake prepared, to avenge the past enmities.
"Why have you come to Medicine Cleansing Lake?" The old man turned back and asked Li Fan.
"When the court invaded Li Mountain, the people from Medicine Cleansing Lake were also present," Li Fan replied.
"I see." The old man nodded. As his gaze once again turned to the elder of Medicine Cleansing Lake, his sword intent swept out, and a wind blew across the heavens and the earth, swiftly spreading in all directions, omnipresent.
"Qingfeng Swordsman, Lu You." An elder of Medicine Cleansing Lake murmured as they stared at the old man.
"Not good..." His expression abruptly changed, and he saw the old man's figure vanish from the original spot, as if merging into the wind. Li Fan saw many ghosts of the old man appear in the breeze, as if he was everywhere.
The elder of Medicine Cleansing Lake suddenly erupted with a terrifying aura, wild demon phantoms roared out, and a tall Demon God phantom appeared behind him.
But at that moment, a breeze drifted past, accompanied by a flash of sword light, and with a swoosh, that resplendent sword sliced through space, splitting that wild form in two.
"Such a fast sword."
Li Fan was shocked by the scene before him. Qingfeng Swordsman Lu You's sword and movement technique completely merged into the wind, as one with it, making them omnipresent.
His sword arrived with the wind.
A Great Cultivator in the middle realm of the Taoist Body, cut down with a single sword.
However, knowing that the old man was of the peak Sixth Realm Li Mountain Sword Cultivator, it wasn't surprising, as such a level of Li Mountain Sword Cultivator makes it difficult for a cultivator below the Seventh Realm to contend.
"I will slay the demons and monsters; take care of the Demon Core."
The old man's voice came through, and as Li Fan looked ahead, he saw the breeze blowing towards the distance, past far-off points where there were many demons and cultivators.
The old man swung a sword from afar, and sword light simultaneously appeared amid the breezes.
In the next instant, the sound of slicing continued, and a bloody rain descended over the Medicine Cleansing Lake.
The old man's figure moved with the wind, dreamlike and illusory, somewhat unreal. However, beneath that aged visage, his eyes were icily cold to the core. Medicine Cleansing Lake dared to plot against Li Mountain.
Today, annihilation.
