Chapter 378: Chapter 317 - I’m Not a Freeloader_1

Having killed this tenth house level Wu cultivator, the energy of Li Xuan’s sword was becoming increasingly fierce and grand, intimidating to one’s heart.

His cultivation practice was ’Great Rectitude,’ similar to Li Zhetian’s technique. It emphasized preserving power and damaging the enemy. The first step was to form an unbreakable idea in his mind. Then use this idea to intimidate, suppress, or even kill the opponent.

When Li Xuan established his invincible myth, it not only boosted his self-confidence, enhancing his faith, but it also instilled fear in his enemies, thereby influencing and suppressing them under his sword blow.

At this moment, Li Xuan, who had instantly killed the twin sword warrior, sent shivers down the spine of all the surrounding black armored men. His Great Rectitude Qi, bursting out of his body, even made many people unable to form a thought when facing him.

As a result, Li Xuan made easy breakthroughs within the next twenty feet, and where his sword pointed was like cutting through decayed wood or rotten bamboo—effortless.

"Roar!"

The five mages on the altar were all terrified at this moment, commanding the forty-foot-tall Yellow Scarf Lishi to emit a roar that shook the heavens. It swung its colossal palm towards Li Xuan.

—This was an act of panic and desperation. The colossal Yellow Scarf Lishi, compared to Li Xuan, who moved like lightning and was unparalleled under the heavenly level, seemed extremely clumsy.

But at this moment, they couldn’t think of any other ways to stop Li Xuan from advancing up the mountain.

"The determined bird fills the sea with pebbles!"

Li Xuan moved his sword with poetic grace, flying several tens of feet like a determined bird, carrying with it the thunderbolt of HaoYi, and reached the top of the altar.

With a ’boom,’ the invisible spirit barrier around the altar was shattered by his sword. What followed was the majestic purple thunder of the Azure Phoenix Niulang. Five purple thunderbolts, as thick as arms, hit the five mages like plasma.

"Never!"

One of them shouted fiercely, lifting his hand to strike a flying sword at Li Xuan. The light of the sword pulsed, forming a ten-foot sword aura. This not only counteracted the purple thunderbolt of the Azure Phoenix but also swept towards the top of Li Xuan’s head.

However, what this sword hit was only Li Xuan’s phantom. Li Xuan manipulated his sword, and with the ’Bixue Leique Sword,’ almost one with his sword. Five large heads dropped and flew in an instant.

After dealing with these five mages and the altar, Zhang Yue and Yue Qianqian and others on the shore were already safe. The remaining mages were no longer a threat.

Just as Li Xuan was wielding his long sword and the blood on his sword was splattering, and he was boasting about something like ’kill one person every ten steps, without staying for a thousand miles’, his mind received a warning from the Azure Phoenix.

Li Xuan’s heart shivered slightly, and his figure drifted back more than a dozen steps in an instant. Then, the next moment, Li Xuan saw a huge black sword fall from the sky, piercing in front of him—where he had originally stood.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a black robe floated on the top of the giant sword. He looked down at Li Xuan from a high vantage point, with a slight surprise in his eyes.

"I didn’t expect that even Xu Shan Zhong would die at your hands. I always thought the rumors were exaggerated, but now I know that you deserve your reputation."

Li Xuan took a look at this person, then, his pupils constricted slightly, "Are you ’Thousand Swords and Ten Thousand Changes’ Xiahou Ying?"

—He knew this person, a strong man from the Fourth Gate active in Shandong. His reputation and prestige could be on par with or even surpass that of Zongbing Lin Ziyang, who died at the hands of Qiu Qianqiu!

※※※※

At the same time, in the tens of thousands of feet high above the battlefield, a young man in a white robe stood astride a flying sword, looking down at the battlefield below.

His gaze followed the five people caught in the encirclement below. But as time went on, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly.

Next to him, a woman in golden armor, who also governed the sword in the air, was looking down at the field below.

She was all wrapped in armor, even her face covered by a facial armor. Her voice was as clear as a golden jingling: "The Fairy of Ninth Heaven has descended? Who is that girl? She can even master such a high-level Descendence."

"This girl’s name is Yue Qianqian, Yue Huaiyuan’s daughter!"

The sword bearing boy answered with a chilly voice: "This girl should have a special spirit body, slow to cultivate, but particularly suitable for Descendence.

Besides that, she should also have a set of very powerful magical instruments, close to the level of immortality treasure, which can provide her with unlimited mana, removing the influence of Descendence on her mind. The defensive power of this instrument should not be inferior to your set, junior sister."

Today, before the event, he had done a lot of homework. The four people who accompanied Li Xuan had all been thoroughly investigated.

But this magical instrument was not in his deduction.

The armored woman then looked at Luo Yan: "What about that Fumo Duyu? The swordsmanship he uses should be ’Fuguanglueying Hongxiudao’? This is getting close to a thousand cuts in a blink. If it weren’t for his cultivation still being only at the ninth house level, the three would not survive three breaths in front of him. Where did this character come from?"

"I don’t know." The sword bearing boy shook his head slightly: "According to the information I investigated, this man is called Luo Yan and has a deep connection with Qiu Qianqiu. Liudao Division claimed that he is Qiu Qianqiu’s adopted son. But all his records and data in Liudao Division have been erased.

This man is very strong. A month ago, in the outskirts of Jinling City, he single-handedly suppressed a seventh-level demon. But—"

He didn’t expect Luo Yan’s twin swords to be close to a thousand cuts in a blink, and he didn’t expect him to be so swift in his body technique.

The key was that this man’s Shi of the sword had reached the peak of the "Po" level, surpassing those three men of the Fourth Gate.

"These two are indeed not ordinary people." The armored woman thought for a while and didn’t know what to say.

The man who set up an ambush to kill Li Xuan had already been very cautious of this Earl Jingan. A total of four hundred men, among them four at the tenth house level, and carrying a large number of muskets and crossbows; the twelve mages who had prepared the altar in advance were all strong.

This kind of lineup could easily massacre the entire "Du" of the Liudao Division.

She could only shake her head: "Who is that guy down there? Do you have any idea, senior brother? He’s quite arrogant, disdaining to cooperate with others.

However, this Li Xuan not only possesses an unusual teleportation technique, his Great Rectitude is also extraordinarily pure. Typically, those at the Fourth Gate don’t even hold the qualifications to injure him."

By this time, she could only hope that the figure arranged by her senior martial brother would be able to successfully kill Li Xuan.

"His name is ’Thousand Swords and Ten Thousand Changes’ Xiahou Ying, a master of the tenth house level." The young man carrying a sword pointed: "Although his reputation has not reached your ears, junior sister, he had a tie match with Lin Ziyang three years ago at the border."

His cultivation is even more advanced than before, and at the age of thirty-three, his swordsmanship has reached the "Po" level. As long as we give him the Heavenly Key, he will not be inferior to Li Zhetian in the future."

"Lin Ziyang? The one who rebelled and was killed before?" The golden armored woman pondered: "That is indeed impressive."

Lin Ziyang’s cultivation was only at the tenth house level, his Wuyi had only reached the Yun, Shi, Yi, Po, Soul, Shen six realms peak of the ’Yi’ realm, and just begun to enter the ’Po’ realm threshold. But this person was the court general, controlling large armies, and adept at using Shi, his strength can’t be measured by his own cultivation level.

"Moreover, his swordsmanship perfectly counters Li Xuan’s evasion technique."

The young man holding the sword was cold and arrogant: "This Li Xuan, in front of Xiahou Ying, won’t even be able to escape."

※※※※

"Earl Jingan has actually heard my name? I am deeply honored."

On the shattered altar, Xiahou Ying also looked at Li Xuan with the same cold expression: "Your martial law is interesting. In a different setting, I would definitely ask Earl Jingan for some pointers. Unfortunately, today I have a mission and must take your life, Li Xuan."

Li Xuan didn’t bother with idle talk and directly launched an attack with his sword. The thunder wrapped around the ’Bixue Leique Sword’ amazingly stretched ten zhang.

Xiahou Ying easily dodged, his figure danced, and there was only a hair’s breadth away between him and the passing thunderbolt.

At the same time, his black longsword suddenly shattered and turned into thousands of palm-length, leaf-thin swords scattered in the air.

Li Xuan initially didn’t care, he relentlessly pursued, using the ’Bixue Leique Sword’ like an illusion, a dense shadow of swords, covering the twenty-zhang area in front.

But gradually, he found that his sword speed can’t even reach Xiahou Ying’s robe corner.

The latter’s movement technique was like the momentum of ’a thousand pounds hang by a thread, allowing you to be free against the winds from the east, west, south, and north’, and like a lone boat in turbulent waves, always at ease.

"You should have heard, my swordsmanship is derived from ’bamboo’!"

At this time, Xiahou Ying’s sword finger beckoned, causing the numerous bamboo-like black swords suspended in the air to ’float’ past Li Xuan.

——The seemingly light and without strength, but in an instant, it broke through Li Xuan’s ’Kuiniu luminous armor’ and the defense of the ’Liudao Fumo Armor’.

If the’ Taotie’ hadn’t automatically activated and absorbed the power of those bamboo leaf swords, this moment could’ve severly injured Li Xuan.

However, those bamboo leaf swords are becoming more and more dense, drifting from all sides. Li Xuan had no choice but to use the ’Superconductivity’ teleportation method, but the next moment, his pupils contracted severely.

At his command, tens of millions of silver threads scattered from the ’Shenyi’ of Li Xuan, were all cut off!

"Your evasion technique is quite unique, but it’s useless before me."

At this time, Xiahou Ying reached out and grabbed, a slim longsword that many bamboo swords condensed in his hand: "This is a sword technique I have cultivated for ten years, Silent World!"

While speaking, Xiahou Ying looked at Li Xuan with an extremely regretful look: "Give up, before me, you don’t even have a chance to fight back!"

Alas, this martial law genius, who had just begun to shine, had to die under his sword.

Li Xuan now turned into lightning and dodged, although Shenyi’s superconductivity couldn’t be used, his evasion technique was still powerful.

"Unafraid of the floating clouds eclipsing the eyes!"

With the help of the Yi of the sword, Li Xuan temporarily escaped from the siege of tens of millions of bamboo leaf swords, and flashed to a place twenty zhang away.

This place is still within the coverage of the bamboo leaf sword, but Li Xuan didn’t care at all. He held the ’Black The Sun’ from his small Sumi ring with his left hand, and his right hand was still the ’Bixue Leique Sword’.

At the same time, Li Xuan also began to visualize ’Nuclear Fusion’ in his mind, and tried to adjust the broken immortal artifact ’Wuqu Pojun’ with his own killing intent, so that a layer of scarlet blood was applied to his dual blades.

The opponent in front of him was indeed an existence on par with Lin Ziyang. It was so strong that he was still struggling even when he went all out.

Although this person is also at the tenth house level, he is not on the same level as the dual swordsman who he just killed. They are as different as chalk and cheese.

The dual swordsman’s martial law is just beginning to enter the ’Yi’ realm, while the swordsmanship of this person has also obtained the ’Bamboo’ Shenpo, reaching the middle stage of the ’Po’ realm.

The only way for Li Xuan to turn the tide now is his immortal treasure, the ’Tiebushan Tao Fruit’ given by Qiu Qianqiu, and that immature move - ’Phantom Electric Slash’ driven by nuclear fusion!

Especially at this moment, his Divine Consciousness had sensed two bone-chilling cold intents from the sky above, which made him understand that he had no room for reserve.

"It is indeed very powerful, but——"

There was a spark in Li Xuan’s pupils: "Xiahou Ying, have you ever experienced the taste of a thousand cuts in an instant? Can your bamboo survive under my scorching sun?"

"What do you mean?" Xiahou Ying was confused, but felt an extreme crisis, this moment Li Xuan’s sword movements made his heart freeze.
