Sword Aura to the Heavens-Chapter 253 - 248: Take Action

Ji Hua’s words stirred quite a commotion. Previously, there were rumors that Li Fan connived with demons to hunt human sword cultivators, leading to the encirclement and attack on Li Fan.

Now, Ji Hua spoke of another version of the story.

Ying Ze and his group colluded with demons, which was uncovered by Li Fan, causing Ying Ze and his companions to falsely accuse Li Fan, leading to his death, but resulting in their counter-kill.

Moreover, it was orchestrated by Li Chengying.

Reflecting on Li Chengying’s actions of claiming people, even at the risk of offending Li Mountain, was it really just to seek justice for Ying Ze and his group?

It’s likely not that simple. Given Li Chengying’s status, in the past, even his disciples died in secret realms, and he wouldn’t even show up.

He has many disciples, and Ying Ze and others are newcomers, not even direct disciples. How much would Li Chengying value them?

Moreover, slaughter within secret realms is indeed common.

In this light, does Li Chengying want Li Fan for the secret realm inheritance?

To many, it seems Ji Hua’s version is likely true. How could Li Fan, a Li Mountain disciple, collude with demons? freewebnøvel.coɱ

Only those who entered secret realms in the past could have such a possibility.

Li Chengying’s dojo disciples fit this criterion.

Of course, the truth isn’t really that important. In everyone’s heart, they hold their own truth.

Ji Hua’s revelations would only anger Li Chengying.

This way, the enmity between Li Chengying and Li Mountain is settled, with no room for reconciliation.

"Truly audacious..."

Above the sky, Sword Intent roars, accompanied by a cold voice. Amid the Sword Intent, a gigantic figure appears, formed by Sword Intent, incredibly sharp. It is Li Chengying, but not his true physique.

Everyone looks up; the entire sky is shrouded in suffocating pressure. Everyone feels their swords trembling, the flowing Sword Intent scraping against their bodies, conveying bone-chilling ice.

Ji Hua bursts skyward, landing high above, staring at the enormous figure. With a thought, flames blaze, Vermilion Bird’s shadow covers the sky, fiery Sword Intent flowing in the air, his white hair fluttering, saying: "Li Chengying, consider carefully, it’s not easy to reach fifth place on the Sword Saint List. It would be a pity to face downfall in the future."

"Just relying on Li Mountain?"

As Li Chengying’s voice fell, the gigantic figure extended a finger, formed by Sword Intent, pointing at Ji Hua, a Sword Aura beam shot toward Ji Hua.

"Boom..."

A deafening roar sounded; in front of Ji Hua, a Vermilion Bird pattern appeared, blocking the Sword Aura beam, yet the finger continued forward.

Ji Hua raised a hand forward, palm landing on the Vermilion Bird pattern. Suddenly, a long cry, numerous Vermilion Bird shadows burst forth, the pattern converging into a Vermilion Bird Sword attacking the descending finger, intertwining with it, waves of destructive air surge around.

Below, the watching crowd held their breath, releasing Sword Intent to resist the spreading pressure, surrounding buildings continuously collapsing, inns razed, but none dared to voice complaints.

The ones battling in the sky are the world’s fifth sword cultivator and the seventh-ranked Li Mountain sword cultivator.

"Li Chengying, although you’re fifth on the Sword Saint List, it’s merely an avatar. You underestimate me." As Ji Hua’s words fell, the Vermilion Bird Sword crushed that finger’s sword might.

Li Chengying seemed indifferent to Ji Hua’s words. The avatar raised its hand again, a boundless giant sword appeared above the sky, held by that figure, Sword Intent flowing onto the sword body, slashing toward Ji Hua.

From down below, looking up, the sky seemed split in two, cut by the sword.

"Buzz..." Fiery flames swept forth, Ji Hua’s body shooting skyward again to avoid impacting those below. Though massive, the sword was incredibly fast, instantly locking onto Ji Hua’s body to slash.

Ji Hua’s speed equally astonishing, as if with wings, actively surged toward Li Chengying’s avatar. As he advanced, the fiery Vermilion Bird Sword ceaselessly struck toward the opponent.

Below, Xiao Teng glanced at the aerial battlefield, then stepped forward toward Li Fan, loudly saying: "By master’s order, today you must go."

As he moved forward, he sensed a raging Sword of Slaughter approaching, rows of sharp swords, each exuding strong slaughter aura. Numerous swords advanced simultaneously, sword whistles resonating, killing intent rampant.

"Fifth Realm’s peak?"

Xiao Teng glanced at Wen Ruyu, though a Li Mountain talented sword cultivator, he had reached Sixth Realm. How could Wen Ruyu resist him?

"Boom..."

A thunderous explosion, Xiao Teng’s purple robe fluttered, radiant lightning shone, a sword dao pattern appeared behind him, wielding numerous Thunder Swords, simultaneous striking forward, colliding with the Sword of Slaughter, crushing them.

"Wen Ruyu, you cannot stop me."

Xiao Teng spoke coldly, his realm was at the later stage of the Sixth Realm, which was a whole great realm higher than the opponent, not just a minor realm.

Thunderous light pierced through the sky, crushing everything and burying the area where Wen Ruyu was located.

Everyone glanced at the battlefield and knew that this time Li Fan was bound to be taken away.

Although Li Fan was the Li Mountain Sword Son, this was not Li Mountain after all.

In this Chi Xiao City, apart from the Xuanyuan Sword, Li Chengying held absolute power.

"Truly shameless."

Huang Xiong, standing beside Li Fan, shouted angrily. The fifth-ranked sword cultivator in the world was bullying the small with the big, openly trying to seize the secret realm inheritance Li Fan had obtained.

But among the Great Sword Cultivators of Li Mountain, only Ji Hua was present, and she was probably not enough to stop them...

And at their level, they could only watch and did not have the qualifications to intervene.

Huang Xiong glanced at Li Fan beside him, only to see his eyes tightly shut, with strands of Sword Intent flowing around him, as if he were cultivating. This left Huang Xiong somewhat puzzled; was there still time to train at a moment like this?

Although puzzled, he still stood in front of Li Fan, trying to shield him from the fallout.

On Li Fan’s other side were Yue Qingqiu and Lu Yuan.

"Hmph..."

A cold snort came through, and they saw Cang Yunxuan walking towards them. Ji Hua was being held off by Li Chengying, and Wen Ruyu needed to face Xiao Teng.

Now, even the Condensed Core Realm Cang Yunxuan was hard for anyone to deal with.

Cang Yunxuan moved extremely fast, raising his hand to grasp in the direction where Li Fan was. He didn’t want him dead; the master wanted him alive.

Huang Xiong stepped forward, mystic technique protecting his body, his entire form glowing gold, and he threw a punch forward, the air cracking with sound.

Cang Yunxuan changed his palm to a finger, Sword Aura condensing on the finger sword, landing on Huang Xiong’s fist.

"Bang!"

A wave of air swept out, and Cang Yunxuan actually felt an extremely wild force, causing his body to fly backward, but the back of Huang Xiong’s fist had a bloody cut from the Sword Aura.

But he seemed completely unaware, continuing to charge forward fiercely, rushing towards Cang Yunxuan.

"Courting death."

Cang Yunxuan sneered coldly, Sword Intent swirling around him; this Fourth Realm martial artist dared to challenge him?

Moreover, it even made him retreat.

This made Cang Yunxuan feel extremely humiliated, a destructive intent gathering on his fingertip, intending to kill this martial artist with this finger.

His finger pointed like a sword, rushing towards the charging Huang Xiong. But just as Cang Yunxuan acted, a chilling cold descended, causing the Sword Intent around him to seem almost frozen.

Cang Yunxuan turned abruptly, seeing a woman appear beside Huang Xiong; it was Yue Qingqiu who had acted, slapping her palm forward to intercept Cang Yunxuan’s sword for Huang Xiong.

Cang Yunxuan sensed the chill, and the Sword Aura suddenly exploded with intensity, a destructive Sword Dao airflow sweeping towards Yue Qingqiu and Huang Xiong, but the essence of the ice swept over instantly, freezing to the bone, causing Cang Yunxuan’s actions to slow down.

At this moment, Huang Xiong punched out, aiming for Cang Yunxuan’s face.

Cang Yunxuan swept an arrogant glance at Huang Xiong, Sword Aura intensified at his brow, and a flash of sword light burst forth.

"Be careful..."

Yue Qingqiu whispered a reminder, Huang Xiong shouted fiercely, his Martial Spirit Golden Body flickering, recklessly continuing to punch forward without regard for his injuries.

"Clang."

A loud crash, as the flying sword scraped golden skin, blood splattering, but Huang Xiong continued to move forward with brute force, ignoring his injuries, his fist still driving forward.

"Die."

The flying sword spun, a chilling Sword Intent surged from Cang Yunxuan, but at this moment, he saw another flying sword charging at him from behind Huang Xiong.

His face changed dramatically, clamping his palms forward, but saw a shadow flash from the side, a breeze coming, and a streak of lightning-like glow flared—it was a sword, slicing across his neck.

Blood dripped, Cang Yunxuan’s body was instantly invaded by ice, his arms unable to block the flying sword, which pierced through his throat, leaving a bloody hole in his neck.
