Unfathomable, a Certain Death Situation

Hidden Force Qianqiu Pavilion?

Ren Xiaoyao looked at the words before him, curiosity rising in his eyes.

Li Chunfeng had previously introduced Ren Xiaoyao to the major forces of the Great Thousand Jianghu.

Among them were the Four Great Demonic Sects.

As well as numerous righteous factions.

Yet he had never mentioned Qianqiu Pavilion.

"My master has already reached the Heavenly Human Realm, yet this Qianqiu Pavilion can make him sense danger. That proves Qianqiu Pavilion is extremely powerful."

Ren Xiaoyao had already made his judgment.

But no matter how mysterious Qianqiu Pavilion was.

Ren Xiaoyao could not possibly stand by with folded arms.

He chose the second option.

Amid the wilderness.

Li Chunfeng looked at the Six Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists before him and only felt his heart go cold.

He was not Ren Xiaoyao.

He had merely just entered the Heavenly Human Realm. If he faced one or two Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists alone, he might still be able to contend against them.

But surrounded by six Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists.

Li Chunfeng did not have the slightest confidence that he could handle them.

"Qianqiu Pavilion?"

Li Chunfeng took a deep breath and said, "What a Qianqiu Pavilion. To command six Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists—such strength truly deserves to be called the number one force in Great Gan."

Yet Meng Zhongwu burst into laughter upon hearing Li Chunfeng's words.

"Li Chunfeng, you are nothing more than a frog at the bottom of a well. Qianqiu Pavilion means a thousand autumns and ten thousand generations. How could we possibly be as simple as having only six Heavenly Human Realm existences?"

The other five Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists also burst into laughter.

Their laughter was mocking and exaggerated.

As though they held the rise and fall of dynasties across a thousand autumns and ten thousand generations in the palms of their hands.

Seeing this.

Li Chunfeng's heart sank even deeper.

He looked at Bai Su and Yao Luochen behind him and said.

"I will do my best to hold these six back. Flee toward the Imperial Observatory. Perhaps you may still have a sliver of life."

"Flee?"

After hearing Li Chunfeng's words, Meng Zhongwu sneered.

"Do you think you still have a chance to escape? Today, the Six Heavenly Humans have acted not merely to obtain the Ten Thousand Year Great Medicine, but more importantly, to leave no survivors. Ants like you are unqualified to know of Qianqiu Pavilion's existence. Since you know, you must die!"

"Gold Wood Water Fire Earth Five Elements Venerables, attack with me. Li Chunfeng's hands have also been stained with the blood of Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists. Do not be careless!"

Meng Zhongwu's voice was sharp as he took the lead in charging toward Li Chunfeng.

Meng Zhongwu cultivated a superior lightness skill. His steps were like a ghost's, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived before Li Chunfeng. He struck out with his palm, and True Essence immediately solidified into form. Its sharp edge pierced through the air, aimed straight at Li Chunfeng's head.

Li Chunfeng drew the black longsword from his waist.

This sword was Ren Xiaoyao's Great Sun Divine Sword. Although Li Chunfeng possessed no spiritual power and could not unleash the Great Sun Divine Sword's true might, even so, it remained a divine weapon capable of withstanding any attack.

Clang!

Meng Zhongwu's True Essence edge slammed into the Great Sun Divine Sword, and all its killing force was absorbed by the sword.

It failed to harm Li Chunfeng in the slightest.

Delight appeared on Li Chunfeng's face. He had not expected the Great Sun Divine Sword to be so miraculous.

Meng Zhongwu, meanwhile, frowned deeply. His True Essence sword strike was enough to snap any divine weapon in the world, yet it had failed to leave even the faintest mark on Li Chunfeng's Great Sun Divine Sword.

"What a divine sword!"

"If I can offer it to the Pavilion Master, that will be another great merit!"

Meng Zhongwu greedily licked his lips, then pounced toward Li Chunfeng once more.

The Gold Wood Water Fire Earth Five Elements Venerables attacked at the same time.

All of them unleashed killing attacks against Li Chunfeng.

The weapons they wielded were no ordinary items either. Between blades and swords, sinister cold glints flashed.

Li Chunfeng faced the siege of six men.

Yet he was not caught off guard.

Instead, he moved with ease.

After evading Gold Venerable's sharp sword, Li Chunfeng swept the Great Sun Divine Sword across, severing the precious sword in his hand into two pieces.

"This old man has counted stars for Twenty Years Ago. I can perceive every movement of the Myriad Stars in the Celestial Cycle one by one. What can you six achieve by fighting me in chaos?"

Li Chunfeng spoke proudly.

Though he had sunk into obscurity and not fought for twenty years.

He had observed the stars for twenty years.

His perception had become incomparably sharp.

Even under the siege of six men, he could respond calmly.

Of course.

The Great Sun Divine Sword also deserved credit for this.

The Great Sun Divine Sword was far too sharp. The Six Heavenly Humans of Qianqiu Pavilion did not dare approach too closely, leaving them locked in a stalemate with Li Chunfeng for the moment.

But Li Chunfeng knew in his heart.

He could only hold back the Six Heavenly Humans for a while.

Boom!

Meng Zhongwu erupted with True Essence Power once again. Rather than directly engaging Li Chunfeng, he attacked from afar with True Essence.

For a time.

With Li Chunfeng at the center.

Everything within three zhang.

Plants, grass, and trees were all severed.

Wood chips mixed with sand and gravel flew through the air.

True Essence protected Li Chunfeng's body, and he merely let out a muffled groan. But the fine horse beside him had already begun bleeding from its seven orifices, crying out miserably as it collapsed.

"I found your weakness!"

Meng Zhongwu smiled viciously and said, "Do not fight him directly. The divine sword in his hand is too sharp. We will battle him from afar with True Essence. Even if we have to grind him down, we can grind him to death!"

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Meng Zhongwu and the five Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth all wielded Vast True Essence Power to unleash killing attacks upon Li Chunfeng.

In truth.

Once True Essence left the body, its killing power naturally diminished greatly. But with Six Heavenly Humans joining forces, this killing power was still incomparably terrifying!

With Li Chunfeng at the center.

A deep pit spanning ten zhang was blasted into the ground. The horse's corpse had already become a pool of blood, while blood seeped from the corner of Li Chunfeng's lips.

Bai Su and Yao Luochen could only watch anxiously.

A battle of this level.

They could not interfere in the slightest.

Moreover.

The six Heavenly Human Realm existences of Qianqiu Pavilion.

Seemed to be fighting Li Chunfeng together.

But in truth, they still kept part of their attention on Bai Su and Yao Luochen.

If Bai Su and Yao Luochen made the slightest movement.

They would likely immediately draw the killing attacks of the six Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists.

Li Chunfeng had now fallen into an enormous disadvantage.

He dragged his body forward.

Trying to engage the six Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists of Qianqiu Pavilion in close combat.

That way, he could still use the Great Sun Divine Sword's might to reclaim some of his advantage.

But unfortunately.

The six Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists of Qianqiu Pavilion were all battle-hardened.

They gave Li Chunfeng no chance at all.

Yet Li Chunfeng had gone completely mad at this moment. He knew that only by staking his life might he win a sliver of survival.

Boom!

Li Chunfeng took a palm strike from Wood Venerable head-on, and at the same time, he finally found an opening and slashed his sword at Wood Venerable's shoulder.

Slash!

The Great Sun Divine Sword tore through Wood Venerable's protective True Essence and severed his right arm.

Li Chunfeng was not faring well either. Though he had cut off Wood Venerable's arm, he too spat out mouthfuls of blood.

"Damn it!"

Wood Venerable looked at his severed arm on the ground.

He too went mad.

But enraged as he was, he did not dare charge directly at Li Chunfeng.

The Great Sun Divine Sword was too strange.

It seemed to ignore True Essence defenses.

But just as all of Li Chunfeng's attention was focused on the Six Heavenly Humans of Qianqiu Pavilion.

A figure descended from the sky.

He struck a palm toward Li Chunfeng.

Caught off guard, Li Chunfeng could only raise his True Essence and meet the man from the heavens with a palm strike.

Boom!

In an instant.

The ground collapsed, and dust filled the air.

Li Chunfeng knelt on one knee upon the ground, coughing up blood in great mouthfuls. He had already suffered grave injuries. If not for his sword supporting him against the ground, he would have long since fallen flat.

Only then.

Did Li Chunfeng clearly see the person who had descended from the sky.

He was an old man with white hair and beard.

One of his eyes was bright, while the other was dull and gray, giving his entire body an eerie air.

"It's you!"

Li Chunfeng's expression changed when he saw him.

Because the man before him was the Old Demon Lord of the Demonic Sect, whom he had killed Twenty Years Ago.

"Li Chunfeng, you never expected this day to come, did you?"

The Old Demon Lord of the Demonic Sect looked at Li Chunfeng. His hoarse voice carried endless resentment as he said.

"How peerless and brilliant you were back then. With one sword, you destroyed my legends and forged your own glory. But never in your wildest dreams could you have imagined that I did not die that year. Instead, I joined Qianqiu Pavilion. After twenty years of hard cultivation, I finally became a Heavenly Human. Today, I will settle the Blood Sea Deep Grudge from those years with you!"

"Seven Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists!"

"Qianqiu Pavilion truly is unfathomable. To send seven Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists just to deal with me—is that not rather excessive?"

Li Chunfeng shook his head.

He knew that today, his death was certain.

With the previous six Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists.

Li Chunfeng had already been unable to see any hope of survival.

Now, another Old Demon Lord of the Demonic Sect had appeared.

Seven Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists need not merely kill him—they could even pull the Empress from her throne in the Capital City.

But.

Li Chunfeng looked at Bai Su and Yao Luochen, apology in his eyes.

This little martial uncle is useless. In the end, I still could not keep you safe.

Then.

Li Chunfeng took a deep breath.

His entire body overflowed with boundless, icy killing intent.

"Fine!"

"Either way, death awaits me. Then however many I can take with me, I will take with me!"

The Old Demon Lord, Meng Zhongwu, and the five Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

Looked at Li Chunfeng, a trapped beast still fighting.

Their expressions were mocking.

Then.

Vast True Essence surged from each of the seven men.

At once, a violent wind rose.

Between heaven and earth, boundless killing intent filled the air.

"Everyone, let us send this Jianghu Myth, the Great Gan Sword Immortal, down to the Yellow Springs together!"

Meng Zhongwu gave a sinister smile as well.

But it was at that very moment.

In Li Chunfeng's hand.

The pitch-black Great Sun Divine Sword suddenly radiated dazzling light.

The light was blinding.

It stabbed pain into everyone's eyes.

Li Chunfeng naturally bore the brunt of it, unable to open his eyes at all.

Then.

The Great Sun Divine Sword flew straight out of Li Chunfeng's palm.

Without its support, Li Chunfeng

staggered and fell to the ground.

Yet even in such a bedraggled state.

Li Chunfeng burst into laughter.

"Upper Nine Hidden Dragon!"

"An ill omen turns auspicious; from a death trap comes rebirth!"

"I knew it—this hexagram said I wouldn't die!"

"Hahaha..."
