Sword Aura to the Heavens-Chapter 240 - 236 Sky Sword City (Happy New Year)
Chapter 240: Chapter 236 Sky Sword City (Happy New Year)
Sky Sword City, towering and majestic, unlike the City of Demons, more like the City of Sword Immortals.
This city is formed by a combination of white palaces. Though it has been ravaged, ruins are everywhere, its former grandeur is still faintly visible.
The sword cultivators who entered the Secret Realm, except for those who perished, have almost all headed towards this Sky Sword City.
This is the ultimate place of the Secret Realm.
Opportunity lies within Sky Sword City.
Stepping into Sky Sword City, Li Fan glanced at a towering palace in front, in that direction, Sword Aura soared into the sky.
"Can you still hold on?" Li Fan looked down at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan felt somewhat too close, her eyes did not dare to meet Li Fan’s, she slightly turned her gaze, and whispered, "Yes, but be cautious, there is a Demon King in Sky Sword City."
The ultimate place of the Secret Realm, the Demon King holds fort.
"That Sword Pavilion in the distance seems left by the Sword Immortal, there should be our destination. We possess millions of Sword Intent, should be enough to exchange for the item that restores your Divine Soul." Li Fan said.
Yet he remained somewhat worried at heart, what if there’s no free choice?
He was also unsure of what the rules were.
However, once they got there, they’d know.
The flying sword whistled through the sky, straight ahead, Lu Yuan whispered, "If it’s really as rumored, this Secret Realm was left by a Sword Immortal, there must be some top-tier Sword Scripture or similar opportunity, would it not be a bit wasteful to exchange it for the item that restores the Divine Soul?"
"What nonsense are you talking." Li Fan looked at her.
"Hmm?" Lu Yuan looked at him, could it be wrong.
"Even the Sword Immortal’s legacy isn’t as important as you are." Li Fan looked at her.
Lu Yuan’s bright moon-like eyes lingered, but then she moved her gaze away, only whispering, "How could I compare to the Sword Immortal’s legacy."
"You are Lu Yuan, inheritor of the Li Mountain’s five Sword Dao predecessors." Li Fan said, "Remember that."
"Is that why?" Lu Yuan pondered inwardly.
At this moment, a demon leapt into the air from the city, rushing towards Li Fan’s flying sword. Li Fan glanced down at the demon, the Li Hen Sword shot out, instantly slaying the demon and plundering its Sword Intent.
"There doesn’t seem to be many demons in this city."
Li Fan mumbled under his breath, throughout his journey, he had barely encountered demons, or perhaps they were all ahead?
At the location of the towering Sword Tower, besides the soaring Sword Intent, there was an extremely strong Demon Energy.
The location of the Sword Tower.
Beneath the towering Sword Tower up to the heavens was a staircase of ninety-nine steps.
On the staircase stood a white-robed figure with twin horns, resembling a human, surprisingly with a sword strapped to his back.
Beneath him on the staircase stood the figures of demons in increasing numbers.
Below the staircase was a vast Martial Arts Arena, with many stone pillars reaching to the sky, resembling somewhat the scene of the Xuanyuan Sword Dojo.
In the open ground at the center of the Martial Arts Arena, a grand confrontation of demons and human cultivators was taking place.
Human sword cultivators joined forces to conquer the City of Demons, and now they had arrived here.
This Sky Sword City housed the strongest demons, thus no sword cultivator or forces acted alone. This time, they set aside their grudges and moved forward together.
Even if there were resentments between them, they temporarily put them aside, planning to settle them after seizing the opportunity of the Secret Realm.
Leading were several groups, the sword cultivators of Chi Xiao City represented by Mei Qingzhu.
Ying Ze, Qu Lan, and others.
Ke Junlin led a batch of foreign sword cultivators.
Jiang Chaoyang and others.
At this moment, they all arrived here, their gaze fixated on the demon king figure at the top of the staircase.
"Ascend this staircase, enter the Sword Pavilion, and you can use your Sword Intent to exchange for opportunity." At this moment, the White Robed Demon King stood on the staircase looking at everyone with a smile, saying, "However, entering this place is not so simple. I guard this place, responsible for maintaining the final line of defense and upholding the rules here."
"As long as you can break through them and come to me, if you can withstand my one sword strike, you can pass by me and fetch your opportunity."
The demon king spoke aloud.
"You only strike once?" a sword cultivator asked.
"I strike only once, otherwise you wouldn’t stand a chance." The White Robed Demon King stood with hands behind, arrogantly said, "But you must also adhere to my rules. Those who wish to seize the opportunity must come one by one, if you break through, you obtain the opportunity, if not, you may perish here."
"Only one strike."
Expectation arose in the eyes of the crowd, the sword cultivators who arrived here all possessed some Sword Intent on them to varying degrees.
Now, they only needed to break through this final barrier to exchange for opportunity.
Someone wanted to step forward and try, but at that moment, Sword Aura rushed in, and everyone turned to look. In the sky above, they saw a white-robed figure riding on a sword.
This white-robed figure’s stern face seemed carved, with distinct features, his starlike eyes scanned the crowd, holding a stunning beauty in his arms.
He did not first look at the demon king, nor at the demon generals or demons, but instead scanned the crowd, as if searching for something.
"Zuo Tu."
The crowd’s heart fluttered, nowadays everyone knew Li Fan, even Mei Qingzhu and Ying Ze’s fame could not rival his.
"Ying Ze."
Li Fan’s voice was icy, overlooking the position where Ying Ze stood, finding him at a glance.
A murderous intent emanated from him, Sword Aura howled, sweeping towards the ground like a roaring Demon Dragon.
"Zuo Tu, you conspired with demons to slaughter humans and steal Sword Intent, how dare you come here." Ying Ze’s face darkened upon seeing Li Fan arrive. Not only had he recovered from his injuries, but the Sword Intent emanating from Li Fan had grown even stronger.
Zuo Tu, has he broken through?
Earlier, Li Fan had terrified them, sweeping across the battlefield with Lu Yuan, where Ren Yuzhi was slain.
Now, seeing Zuo Tu, Ying Ze no longer possessed the arrogance and confidence of being first on the Green Cloud List, his eyes showing a trace of apprehension.
His Sword Heart had already wavered.
Seeing the roaring Sword Intent coming at him, Ying Ze’s Vajra Sword Intent erupted, sending out a massive golden sword to clash with the roaring murderous Sword Intent, stirring up a storm in the sky.
"This Zuo Tu has hunted Sword Cultivators entering the Secret Realm, seized Sword Intent to break through his cultivation, everyone look at the Sword Intent upon him, it must be a million streams of Sword Intent." Ying Ze spoke coldly: "Kill him, avenge those dead Sword Cultivators and retrieve the Sword Intent."
"A million Sword Intent..."
The Sword Cultivators raised their heads, their gaze fixating on Li Fan, eyes burning with fervor.
What kind of fortune can a million Sword Intent exchange for?
Among them, many only possessed tens of thousands of Sword Intent, those with hundreds of thousands were extremely rare. freeweɓnovel-cøm
Ke Junlin also stared at Li Fan, a million Sword Intent?
What happened between this Li Mountain Sword Cultivator and Ying Ze?
"Zuo Tu."
A voice from the crowd, Mei Qingzhu spoke up: "Is what Ying Ze said true?"
"Boom..."
In the sky, Sword Aura roared, the Li Hen Sword unsheathed as Li Fan gazed down at Ying Ze below, Mei Qingzhu frowned and asked, "Zuo Tu, now faced with opportunity, there are many demons here, your grudges, consider settling them outside, how about it?"
With many demons, they could only solo the challenge, a powerful Sword Cultivator could deplete and slay demons, reducing pressure for those entering later, thus increasing the chance to enter Sword Tower.
Especially a Sword Cultivator like Ying Ze, he surely could slay many demons.
"Today, I must kill Ying Ze, whoever stops me will die."
As Li Fan’s words fell, the Li Hen Sword descended from the sky, Ying Ze’s expression turned vigilant, Vajra Sword Intent fiercely erupted from him, Vajra Venerate Dharma Form appeared, ancient bell echoed continuously, transforming into a colossal yellow bell to suppress the descending Li Hen Sword.
"Join forces to kill this person, lest he leave endless trouble." Ying Ze shouted, as his words fell, several streams of Sword Intent simultaneously locked onto Li Fan.
Qu Lan, Jiang Chaoyang, and others, they too were marked by Li Fan for death, naturally unable to let him live.
Clang...
The ancient bell violently collided with the Li Hen Sword, from different angles, several swords simultaneously pierced through the air, precisely Qu Lan and Jiang Chaoyang’s swords.
"What’s happening?"
Witnessing the scene before them, everyone was stunned, the attackers were all top Sword Cultivators.
Qu Lan, previously third on the Green Cloud List.
Ying Ze, first on the Green Cloud List.
Jiang Chaoyang and others, Da Li Royal City Lingxiao Pavilion Sword Cultivators.
They felt threatened by Li Fan’s arrival, simultaneously striking to surround and kill Li Fan.
Moreover, Li Fan held the injured Lu Yuan in his arms.
"Buzz..."
The Li Hen Sword divided into nine, drawing splendid arcs and blocking all the attacking swords.
Qu Lan and Jiang Chaoyang simultaneously hovered in the air, appearing in different directions around Li Fan.
"Just right, you’re all here." Li Fan whispered coldly, his voice carrying a chilling murderous intent.
Thus, no need to run.
"Human Sword Cultivators stand united against a common enemy, yet you strike at human cultivators now, if so, you cannot escape being captured."
Ke Junlin, seeing several Sword Cultivators simultaneously attacking Li Fan, judged this as an opportunity.
With a million streams of Sword Intent on Li Fan, killing him would be a fortune.
Having hidden his identity as a Li Mountain disciple and conspired with demons, he would not stand on ceremony.
"Capture him."
Seeing Ke Junlin join in, more Sword Cultivators stepped forward, several factions prepared to divide the Sword Intent on Li Fan.
Lu Yuan turned to look at the Sword Cultivators, her beautiful eyes revealing a cold expression, apologetically saying to Li Fan: "I can’t fight alongside you."
"No matter, I’m enough on my own." Li Fan replied: "Rest well."
"Alright."
Lu Yuan trusted Li Fan deeply, nodded gently, while the surrounding Sword Cultivators showed rage, how arrogant, holding a woman, intending to kill them all?
As Li Fan looked up, streams of Sword Intent roared.
Conspired with demons?
Li Mountain had slain demons for millennia, the court accused Li Mountain of conspiring with demons, now these Sword Cultivators claimed he conspired with demons, merely for the Sword Intent he possessed.
Li Fan moved his thought, the Li Hen Sword split into nine, "Go."
