Sword Aura to the Heavens-Chapter 233 - 229: Green Cloud List 1

With Li Fan’s current realm, he could not truly unleash the power of Li Hen’s Nine Swords, which belongs to the Sword Dao of a top-tier Great Sword Cultivator.

Although he has entered the Foundation Establishment Realm, for a Sword Cultivator, this realm is merely the initial stage of using skillful sword control to kill enemies. Only upon reaching the Ning Dan Realm can the power of sword control become more formidable.

Yet, even at the initial stage of Li Hen’s Sword Technique, one could still glimpse the shadow of a top-tier Great Sword Cultivator’s Sword Dao.

The Nine Swords traversed the sky. Each sword strike, as it burst forth, was like a thunderous lightning bolt. Each sword’s power was extraordinarily dominant. Ren Yuzhi’s Sky Splitting Sword Intent erupted to its peak, and hurricanes formed around his body as the Wind Roc circled him. He continuously wielded his sword to fend off the attacks of Li Hen’s Sword.

"Clang."

A loud noise resounded as Ying Ze’s magical treasure, a golden great bell, charged toward Li Fan, with the tolling sound echoing continuously, targeting Li Fan.

Li Fan wielded his sword with his left hand, and a blade shot out forcefully, striking the great bell. The tolling sound rippled, and waves of vibrations swept out, crashing onto Li Fan’s body.

Simultaneously, Ying Ze’s body charged forward, and behind him emerged the Dharma Form of the Vajra Venerate, with numerous arms, each holding a golden sword inscribed with runes.

Ying Ze seemed to meld with the Vajra Venerable; this was his most potent finishing move, Vengeful Vajra.

He couldn’t have imagined that, encircled by enemies, Li Fan could achieve this level.

He questioned himself: if it were a one-on-one duel, could he defeat this new entrant to the Green Cloud List?

Moreover, Li Fan was still young, two realms lower than himself.

If Li Fan reached the Late Stage Foundation Establishment Realm like him, would he still be a match?

As Li Fan faced the advancing Ying Ze, he perceived the terrifying aura emanating from his opponent, yet his eyes remained unflustered. The Skywalker Sword in his hand rose, his internal energy and blood surged, becoming one with his spirit and will. A storm of Sword Aura swirled around him, striking Ying Ze, making him feel a hint of threat.

Zuo Tu was preparing a finishing move!

But what of it?

His sword could not possibly be weaker than Zuo Tu’s sword.

"Vengeful Vajra."

Ying Ze’s eyes turned golden, akin to the wrathful eyes of a Vajra Venerate. The golden giant sword in his hand cleaved down, and the swords in the many arms of the Vajra Venerable simultaneously slashed at Li Fan, sealing off all means of escape.

The surrounding Sword Cultivators witnessed the scene as if seeing the end of Li Fan.

Could this strike at least severely injure Li Fan?

"Boom..."

A terrifying storm of Sword Aura roared forth, and the swords in the hands of the nearby Sword Cultivators seemed to quiver lightly. A splendid light burst from Li Fan’s forehead, the Sword of the Great Tao roaring as the Skywalker Sword in his hand became enveloped in Sword Light.

His body leaned forward, not dodging, but directly facing the onslaught of the Vengeful Vajra’s killing sword.

Around him, numerous overwhelmingly powerful Star Giant Swords accompanied him, stabbing toward the Vajra Venerate. All the slashing golden great swords were blocked by the Swords of the Stars, with Sword Aura exploding and the destructive storm expanding from between the two men to the surroundings.

Ying Ze’s heart pounded as he stared at Li Fan in front of him. At this moment, Li Fan’s eyes were filled with a resolute intent, disregarding all enemies and all sword techniques, as if showcasing his Sword Heart and Sword Gall.

When the Heavenly Nine Declines bloomed, there was only moving forward, with no retreat.

Li Fan’s sword slashed out, the sword shadow like thunder light, cleaving toward the golden giant sword in Ying Ze’s hand.

"Kill!" Ying Ze’s heart was resolute, yet he unexpectedly felt a trace of fear, doubting himself, even though he was the first on the Green Cloud List.

Puchi...

The Sword Light slashed down, and a beam of light appeared behind Ying Ze as his body was blasted away.

Fresh blood splattered, and a crack seemed to appear on the body of the Vajra Venerate behind Ying Ze. He groaned, spitting blood, his face pale, as Sword Intent seemed to linger upon his body.

"Boom..." A blast resounded, and before Ying Ze could recover, he saw the Li Hen Sword flying from Ren Yuzhi towards him, with the air resounding with thunderclaps.

The crowd looked on, stunned by the scene.

This Zuo Tu, he intends to slay Ying Ze!

Slay the first of the Green Cloud List?

Ying Ze shouted, forming seals with his hands, with the tolling sound surrounding him as his body melded with the Dharma Form once more. As the Li Hen Sword came crashing in, "clang" echoed with a loud crash, the ancient bell was shaken away, and other swords subsequently pinpointed him, striking the body of the Vajra Venerate, causing more cracks to appear in the Dharma Form.

Puh...

Ying Ze spat blood, retreating continuously.

Neither he nor anyone else could have expected to be pushed to such an extent by Li Fan.

Not only was it beyond his imagination, who would dare think that a cultivator at the Initial Realm of Foundation Establishment, could single-handedly battle against several Sword Cultivators, enduring the combined might of the top and third-ranked sword cultivators on the Green Cloud List, confining Ren Yuzhi and injuring Ying Ze.

"Who is this guy..." The three great sword cultivators of Lingxiao Pavilion stared at Li Fan. Is he really a sword cultivator at the Initial Realm of Foundation Establishment?

At this moment, Li Fan was fully focused on sword control, his spirit and energy highly unified, intending to kill Ying Ze.

The Li Hen Sword roared, carrying an air of resolute determination.

Though he did not expose what Ying Ze had done, it was to avoid dragging the Shadow Inheritor Sword into this as much as possible. But between him and Ying Ze, it was already a mortal enmity; killing him was a decision made.

Whether Li Chengying would come after him was not up to him. He could only avoid it as much as possible, but the final outcome was beyond his control.

The Li Hen Sword continued its assault towards Ying Ze, but at this moment, Li Fan suddenly sensed a dangerous aura.

Lu Yuan was currently shielding Li Fan from the attacking sword cultivators, and at this point, a powerful Sword Intent enveloped the area where she and Li Fan were. Lu Yuan turned her body to see a sword cultivator charging at Li Fan with the momentum of a thunderbolt.

"Be careful." Sensing the threat, Lu Yuan exclaimed, the Power of Taiyin roared wildly towards that direction as her body spun towards it, attempting to block that strike.

Yet she saw a blood-colored lightning flash through the space, tearing apart the Power of Taiyin, and as the sword slashed down, Lu Yuan seemed to see numerous streaks of blood-colored light.

"Bang..."

A loud explosion rang out, blood marks appeared on Lu Yuan as she was knocked away, and the blood-colored lightning did not pause at all, heading straight for Li Fan.

The sword was a good sword, and the one wielding it was equally remarkable.

"Qu Lan."

Everyone thought of a sword cultivator when they saw that blood-colored lightning, a sword cultivator who once ranked third on the Green Cloud List, who had been in seclusion at the Shadow Bearing Sword Arena, and did not enter the Secret Realm last year.

This Qu Lan practiced a Sword Dao that was extremely dangerous, and he was a low-key person, rarely appearing in public, so much so that even many people in Chi Xiao City had never seen him.

Qu Lan, quietly hiding among the crowd, suddenly burst forth at this moment, thrusting a killing sword.

Qu Lan’s sword was the Blood Shadow Sword, and the Sword Intent he comprehended was the Blood Killing Sword Intent, belonging to the Slaughter Sword Dao. When he drew his sword, it must see blood.

With Qu Lan’s talent, his strength was certainly not inferior to Ying Ze’s.

Li Fan, sensing the crisis, had no choice but to abandon the attempt to kill Ying Ze. His eyes revealed a look of resolve once more, his momentum erupted fiercely again, and his Sword Intent soared continuously.

With the Skywalker Sword in hand, Li Fan turned sideways without any hesitation, directly slashing out a sword, the second sword of the Heavenly Nine Declines, with Sword Aura like a waterfall, wind, and thunder engulfing the sky.

The all-encompassing blood-colored slaughter Sword Aura clashed with Li Fan’s erupting Wind and Thunder Sword Intent, and the crowd couldn’t even see their swords clearly. They only saw countless sword lights colliding, with the two figures separating as quickly as they met.

"Pssh..."

A streak of blood light bloomed; one figure retreated swiftly, returning even faster. In the air, a blood-colored arm flew, as the crowd looked in shock at that figure, only to see in that direction, Qu Lan’s arm was severed, blood flowing profusely, and his face was deathly pale.

"So strong."

A crowd of sword cultivators surrounded him but dared not step forward, their gazes fixed on Li Fan, their hearts trembling incessantly.

In one strike, he injured Ying Ze, and had Qu Lan not intervened, he might have even killed Ying Ze.

Then in another strike, he severed Qu Lan’s arm.

The existences at the forefront of the new and old Green Cloud List, were all defeated...

This Zuo Tu was the one with the strength to claim first place on the Green Cloud List.

With the Initial Realm of Foundation Establishment, he claimed the Green Cloud List.

Seeing Qu Lan’s severed arm, Ren Yuzhi, who initially intended to act, hesitated and did not dare to advance, as Zuo Tu appeared like a god of slaughter, causing his heart to tremble.

Previously, he had thought that although Li Fan was extraordinarily gifted, his combat power was ultimately inferior to his own.

Yet unexpectedly...

"His aura is already weakening." At this moment, Ying Ze said, his eyes fixed on Li Fan, "He’s used some means to enhance his battle power; now is the time to kill him."

Jiang Chaoyang and the others were stunned, initially intimidated by Li Fan, but upon closer inspection, they indeed saw Li Fan’s aura waning, like something brilliant at its decline.

Jiang Chaoyang’s eyes filled with Sword Intent, as Ying Ze and others were already heavily injured, this was their opportunity to seize.

Thinking of this, the three glanced at each other, Sword Aura rushed into the sky simultaneously as they moved forward to strike.

"Do it."

The surrounding sword cultivators, upon seeing this scene, seemed to forget their earlier hesitation.

Opportunity, to kill.

Lu Yuan looked at the approaching sword cultivators, then turned back to glance at Li Fan, determination flashing in her eyes, as an even colder aura instantly erupted from within her.
