Chapter 654: Chapter 655: You Insulted the Sword in Your Hand! (5 More)

"Get down!"

Swish!

Just then, a purple lightning bolt soared into the sky, and it was Lee Bufan who could no longer contain himself. Leaping into the air, he kicked Muu Liufeng off the platform.

"You!"

Muu Liufeng landed on the ground, his gaze fixated on Lee Bufan as he clenched his fists tightly.

"Muu Liufeng, you are the opponent I, Lee Bufan, have acknowledged! Keep your cultivation, for I don’t wish to encounter a weakling during the Five Academy Sword Team competition!"

Lee Bufan stood proudly and said coldly, "Go heal your injuries."

Muu Liufeng took a deep breath, begrudgingly thanked Lee Bufan, and disappeared into the crowd, his heart filled with unwillingness.

The one known as the "Undefeated Myth" had finally been defeated. Although it wasn’t because he was weaker, a defeat was still a defeat.

"This guy, he really knows how to put on airs! It’s so blinding!"

Ye Nanfeng coughed dryly, watching Lee Bufan’s retreating figure, and couldn’t help feeling emotional.

Goo Tengfeng turned back to glower at him, huffing, "If you had his strength, you could be putting on airs too!"

"Hmph, let’s forget it. Even a figure like Muu Liufeng has been defeated; I’m not about to go up there and seek punishment."

Ye Nanfeng was also self-aware, pouting, "But can Lee Bufan defeat that Li Xue? I think his strength might not necessarily surpass Muu Liufeng’s."

"The reason Muu Liufeng failed was simply due to a moment’s carelessness, falling into the opponent’s Soul Devouring Blood Array. If Bufan is careful, defeating the opponent shouldn’t be an issue," Ling Feng analyzed coolly.

Atop the high platform, the Sky White Monarch watched as Muu Liufeng was outmaneuvered by Li Xue and left powerless, nearly losing all hope. But upon seeing Lee Bufan enter the scene, a glimmer of hope arose anew.

"Little Sword God" Lee Bufan was also well-known to the Sky White Monarch—he was, after all, a noble son of the Grand Commandant Mansion, with a low but impressive title and recognized as a prodigy from a young age.

But with even Muu Liufeng defeated, could Lee Bufan really turn the tide?

"So, the kid is finally willing to make a move?"

Within the seating area of the Grand Commandant Mansion, Lee Bufan’s older brother, Lee Bujue, displayed a faint smile. He knew best about Lee Bufan’s choice to cultivate beneath the Thunder Swamp.

Only Lee Bujue understood the pain Lee Bufan endured each day to gain his current level of cultivation.

True genius, apart from talent, also required an unyielding spirit to step by step ascend to the Martial Arts Peak.

"Bufan has been working quite hard recently," remarked Grand Commandant Lee, glancing beside him at Lee Bujue.

"That’s because he’s found a lifelong opponent and, similarly, a lifelong partner."

"Is that so?" The Grand Commandant’s eyes gleamed sharply as he pondered, "Bufan has made friends?"

Lee Bujue turned to look at the Grand Commandant and cheekily smiled, "Grandfather, it’s just that you’ve never realized Bufan has always longed for friendship."

"You have the nerve to laugh."

Grand Commandant Lee glared at Lee Bujue, "As his elder brother, you must also put in effort. Bufan’s strength now greatly surpasses yours! In a couple of days, you should go down to the Thunder Swamp to train as well!"

"Ah!" Lee Bujue felt utterly dejected. What did I do to deserve this!

Grand Commandant Lee squinted his eyes and glanced over the place where Lee Bufan had stood. Seeing the eager faces of companions looking up to the stage, he felt a wave of emotion: Companions...

The higher one climbs, the fewer people left who understand you, let alone companions.

In those high places, the cold is unbearable!

...

"And who might you be?"

Above the arena, a flicker of resentment flashed in Li Xue’s eyes. Finally having caught prey to feast upon, only for this brat to ruin it.

Such a buzzkill, truly a buzzkill!

"As a swordsman, yet you cannot fight a fair and honorable battle. Finding victory through despicably shameless means—is that amusing to you?"

Lee Bufan stood with hands behind his back atop the high platform, such a shameless wretch unworthy to be his opponent.

"Despicable and shameless?" Li Xue cackled eerily, "Whatever the method, only the victor has the right to speak, isn’t that so?"

Lee Bufan slowly drew out his sword, pointing it obliquely at Li Xue as he coldly said, "You, who conduct yourself in this manner, do not deserve to wield a sword. If you lose this battle, you shall never again hold a sword in your lifetime! Your kind only brings shame to the sword in hand."

Lee Bufan’s words immediately found resonance with the multitude of young talents from the Sky White Empire, as they roared in approval.

"Little Sword God! Little Sword God!..."

"Defeat him! Defeat this shameless villain!"

"This scum, he dishonors the sword!"

"Well said! Who would have thought this guy, usually not worth a fart, when it matters, has quite the set on him!"

Ye Nanfeng too was boiling with blood, shouting excitedly. At his core, he was as proud as Lee Bufan, but after repeated setbacks, he had learned to hide his arrogance. However, when it came to dedication to the sword, he was not a bit inferior to Lee Bufan.

Ling Feng smiled faintly, Lee Bufan was just that kind of person—cold on the outside, yet as intense as fire within. He was fiercely devoted to whatever he loved, and that would never change.

Seeing the crowd below stirred up, Li Xue clenched his fists and glared at Lee Bufan, bellowing, "Humph! Defeat me first before you talk!"

Li Xue stretched out his long tongue and licked his eerie, blood-colored long sword, then said in a chilling voice, "If you don’t want to die, get down from here yourself! Otherwise, if I happen to kill you by mistake during the fight because of your boastful words just now, it’ll be your own fault!"

Lee Bufan slowly raised his sword in front of him and said in a steady tone, "This sword, is called Fierce Thunder."

"What are you doing, I have no interest in that broken sword of yours!"

Li Xue swung his blood-colored long sword, "This time, I won’t hold back at all!"

"Just use your Soul Devouring Blood Array, let’s end this swiftly!"

Lee Bufan waved the Fierce Thunder Sword in his hand and stood still, unbelievably allowing Li Xue to cast his frightening Soul Devouring Blood Array with its devouring force!

Li Xue, of course, wouldn’t underestimate Lee Bufan for his arrogance. Cautious as a fox, when Lee Bufan stood unmoving, Li Xue was happy to take his ease, and giggled maliciously, "Very well, it’s your own doing!"

"Time to die!"

Li Xue’s blood-colored long sword flickered with an eerie Blood Light, and with his left hand, he formed a strange Hand Formation in front of his chest. Suddenly, his figure flashed, and on the entire platform, figures multiplied amid the Yin Winds, the Blood Light congealed into a Great Formation.

"Soul Devouring Blood Array, activate!" With Li Xue’s shout, the array, flashing with blood-colored Runes, began to rapidly contract, bringing down a terrifyingly domineering Devouring force.

Lee Bufan’s face remained impassive, standing proudly in place. As Li Xue set the Formation in motion, and the assault of the Formation pressed on, he simply stood motionless, an expression of utter serenity on his face, calmness that even began to unsettle Li Xue.

"Humph, humph, putting on a mystical front! Once you’re within my Soul Devouring Blood Array, I’ll leave you struggling between life and death!"

Li Xue struggled to steady his spirit and gathered the array, frantically driving the sinister Runes on his Blood Sword.

Wrapped by the Blood Array, far from panicking, Lee Bufan instead said indifferently, "Since you seem to like absorbing so much, I’ll give you plenty to absorb!"

With that, Lee Bufan incredibly let go of all resistance from his True Qi; instead, he spurred the Wind and Thunder Hundred Transformations mental method—fully unleashing the True Qi within his body, letting the Soul Devouring Blood Array Devour it all.
