Sword Aura to the Heavens-Chapter 252 - 247 Li Chengying

Ji Hua’s words indeed intimidated quite a few scoundrels; those lurking in the shadows dared not say much.

They did not want to be the ones standing out.

The court could not extinguish Li Mountain; it seems there are unknown circumstances atop Li Mountain. Li Chengying is the fifth-ranked Sword Cultivator in the world and might not fear Li Mountain, but they cannot withstand Li Mountain’s wrath.

At this moment, another group of figures approached, and Cang Yunxuan gave way for them, as a middle-aged man in a purple robe stepped out.

This man appeared to be in his forties, with a cold and proud gaze, and his purple long robe shimmered with light.

"Xiao Teng."

Everyone’s gaze fell upon the approaching figure; this Xiao Teng was a member of the Xiao Family from Chi Xiao City. His father was a Great Sword Cultivator of the Seven Realms, with outstanding talent in his youth, later becoming Li Chengying’s foremost disciple. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Now, this Xiao Teng is a Sword Cultivator at the Dao Body Realm of the Sixth Realm.

Years ago, he was also a prominent figure in Chi Xiao City, a young prodigy, but in recent years he has gradually faded from view, attracting less attention, yet his reputation remains unaffected.

Whether it is the Xiao Family or Xiao Teng himself, in Chi Xiao City, both are renowned.

"Mr. Ji." Xiao Teng addressed Ji Hua: "I must obey my master’s command. Regardless of the reason, Li Fan ultimately committed murder in the secret realm, killing members of my Shadow Bearing Sword Arena. Therefore, today he must take this trip."

Xiao Teng seemed polite, yet his words carried an air of arrogance.

Even as Li Mountain’s Sword Son, it makes no difference.

Since his master demands it, Li Fan must go.

"He will not go."

Ji Hua glanced at Xiao Teng indifferently, feeling a vague sense of disappointment.

Li Chengying’s disciple dared to speak to him like this, demanding Li Mountain’s Sword Son take this trip, which shows the prestige of Li Mountain nowadays is vastly different from years ago.

"Mr. Ji, the matter is clear. He killed our master’s disciples and must take this trip, even if he is Li Mountain’s Sword Son." Xiao Teng reiterated.

"Let your master come, then."

Ji Hua cast a cold gaze at Xiao Teng, though the opponent was also a prominent figure in Chi Xiao City, he did not regard him at all and disdained to make a move.

Though he was not significantly older than the opponent, more words were useless.

Li Fan is impossible to be going to the Shadow Bearing Sword Arena. If not for the events in the secret realm, perhaps he would accompany him for a trip, but the matters of the secret realm made him realize it was Li Chengying’s will, making it impossible for him to go.

As Ji Hua’s voice fell, the atmosphere became tense once again, as if a formless Sword Intent permeated the heavens and earth.

Li Chengying’s foremost disciple Xiao Teng was extremely aggressive, but Li Mountain’s Ji Hua was no different, unwilling to concede an inch.

If Li Chengying wants him, I’m afraid he must come himself.

His disciples are still not weighty enough.

"Though Mr. Ji is on the Sword Ranking, if you want my master to come personally, I’m afraid you cannot bear it." Xiao Teng said after a moment of silence.

Ji Hua ranked seventh on the Sword Ranking, and Li Chengying was fifth on the Sword Saint List.

The gap between them is still very clear.

"You’ve said enough." Ji Hua’s white hair fluttered as a Sword Intent fell upon Xiao Teng, whose expression changed slightly in an instant, as if he were within a Sword Domain.

"Bang... "

A violent wave of energy hit him, causing Xiao Teng’s body to slide back involuntarily.

"No wonder Li Mountain Sword Cultivators are so arrogantly conceited." Voices echoed from the dark again.

"Li Chengying?"

Everyone’s hearts tightened.

"Come out and speak." Ji Hua shouted, and then saw a figure appear in the sky, dressed in black, standing with hands clasped behind, but it was not Li Chengying, but a Sword Cultivator from Lingxiao Pavilion in the Sixth Realm.

However, Ji Hua did not recognize the person.

"Who are you?" Ji Hua asked.

"Who I am is not important. Li Mountain’s disciple massacred in the secret realm and refuses to give an explanation. Many talented Sword Cultivators from Chi Xiao City and other places in Da Li died under his sword. Even if he is Li Mountain’s Sword Son, so what? Today, perhaps it’s time for the Shadow Inheritor Sword to act, to seek justice for those deceased Sword Cultivators and people from various places."

"Indeed, let’s invite the Shadow Inheritor Sword Elder to seek justice for us." Voices from the shadows began to speak, as if the excuse for the Shadow Inheritor Sword to make a move had been found.

This made Ji Hua realize that Li Chengying is likely to come into action.

Someone is already planning ahead, paving the way for Li Chengying to strike.

As for justice?

Ji Hua felt it was somewhat laughable.

"The murdered were killed due to their incompetence, and still want justice." Ji Hua mocked: "If someone wants justice, stand out now, no need to hide behind. I hope you can also withstand the justice that Li Mountain wants."

Ji Hua’s voice overshadowed the many voices, causing the space to fall silent once again.

Above the sky, a wisp of Sword Intent suddenly flowed.

Subsequently, that flowing Sword Intent increased, and countless people looked up at the sky.

They saw above the sky, the Sword Intent was like flowing clouds, wandering above the sky, more and more, covering the sky, gradually, everyone was horrified, many sword cultivators trembled uncontrollably, and the swords on their bodies were softly humming.

"What terrifying Sword Intent..."

The crowd thought to themselves, the flowing Sword Intent was still intensifying, a suffocating pressure enveloped the vast land, and this vast space suddenly became deathly silent, everyone could feel a sense of suffocating oppression.

"Li Chengying."

The notion unconsciously arose in everyone’s mind, Ji Hua also looked up at this flowing Sword Intent and understood that Li Chengying ultimately disregarded face and decided to take action.

He didn’t even consider Li Mountain.

Was the inheritance of the Secret Realm so alluring to Li Chengying?

Behind Ji Hua, Wen Ruyu looked at the flowing Sword Intent, with murderous Sword Intent flowing on his body, he didn’t expect that the fifth-ranked Sword Cultivator in the world was only so.

Unfortunately, he currently didn’t have the ability to kill him.

Li Fan stood beside Wen Ruyu, speechless in his heart.

He had been avoiding conflict with Li Chengying, not exposing Ying Ze and others’ deeds, but ultimately, he couldn’t avoid it.

Now it can be certain, Ying Ze and others’ actions, are indeed Li Chengying’s will.

It is he who wants the secret realm inheritance, willing to take action.

"Senior Brother, I will go with him." Li Fan whispered behind Ji Hua.

Ji Hua ignored him, with Sword Intent flowing on his body as well, in an instant, the sky changed color, flames spread all over the sky, accompanied by the long cry of the Vermilion Bird.

"Senior Li Chengying, are you planning to strike at the younger generation?" Ji Hua said.

"Send him to the dojo, and I will not pursue you." A voice came from afar, Li Chengying had not arrived, only his Sword Intent arrived first.

Even though the distance was great, for a sword cultivator of Li Chengying’s caliber, it was not a problem.

"It seems that Senior has a profound obsession with the Secret Realm’s fortune." Ji Hua responded faintly, causing the surrounding crowd to show peculiar expressions.

Ji Hua’s meaning was that Li Chengying was coveting the Secret Realm fortune obtained by Li Fan?

The flowing Sword Intent in the sky suddenly emitted a sharp sword-whistling sound.

"Presumptuous." Xiao Teng sternly shouted, "Ji Hua, do you think being from Li Mountain, my master won’t dare to move you?"

"Naturally, I don’t doubt it, since the Shadow Inheritor Sword is ready to strike, then there’s no room left." Ji Hua asked, "I only ask one thing, does Senior absolutely need this person?"

A terrifying Sword Intent roared in from afar, growing stronger and stronger, the Sword Intent flowing in the sky turned into a sword, and in an instant, it descended.

"Bang..."

The Sword Intent on Ji Hua’s body erupted instantly, he stepped forward, the vermilion bird’s shadow shone, red Sword Intent swept out, flowing toward the sharp sword that landed in front of him, a sound of explosion echoed, and that sword shattered under the flames.

But what followed was an even stronger Sword Dao airflow in the sky.

"The Shadow Inheritor Sword has made its move."

Countless people looked up at the sky.

They had never seen such a level of battle.

"It seems that the mind of the fifth-ranked in the world is only so." Ji Hua responded faintly, when he looked up, the Vermilion Bird cried long, Sword Aura surged to the sky, his body leaped upwards, falling into the high sky.

"Li Chengying, you orchestrated Ying Ze and others to collude with demons to hunt the sword cultivators who enter the Secret Realm to seize their Sword Intents, my Junior Brother encountered this incident, so Ying Ze and others spared no expense to try to kill my Junior Brother, but didn’t expect to be killed by my Junior Brother, my Junior Brother did not make this public because he did not want to feud with you, yet you are still obsessed with the secret realm inheritance."

Ji Hua spoke faintly, "Even as the world’s fifth-ranked sword cultivator, I’m afraid, you will only get this far."

"Seeking death."

The sword cultivators of Lingxiao Pavilion and Xiao Teng and others looked at the white-haired sword cultivator, daring to expose this matter publicly, that Ji Hua, feared he was seeking death, how could Li Chengying tolerate him any longer.

Li Fan looked up at Senior Brother Ji Hua, upon hearing this, he understood that since Senior Brother Ji dared to say this, he was already prepared to fight to the death.

When Li Chengying decided to move against them, he no longer had any retreat, but Senior Brother Ji actually still had one.

However, Ji Hua never thought of retreating.

Li Fan closed his eyes, operated the Nine Heavens Mysterious Sword Scripture, and surprisingly started to practice with closed eyes.

If today’s battle was unavoidable, Senior Brother Ji couldn’t possibly withstand Li Chengying.

And he, naturally, couldn’t just watch as his two Senior Brothers fought to the death here.

If that was the case, then only by operating the cultivation technique and reviving the Divine Sword could there be hope.
