Sword Roll Residual Clouds
Actually, Li Fan didn't have high expectations for this move at first. He just wanted to see what the special effects would be since he had learned it.
Even if he can't deal any damage, bystanders might be shocked and exclaim, "Hey! You're actually a disciple of Emei! Hold your tongue!" This would expose an opening, giving him the chance to shout, "That's right! I am a member of Emei! Guess who I am!" and pounce on him to kill him.
However, Li Fan never expected that he wouldn't have a chance to have any internal monologue, because this move was actually quite powerful—no, it should be said that it was a killing move used to eliminate the Blood God Child! In fact, its power was unparalleled, extremely strong!
Xuan Yunzi was simply worried that amplifying the power would break the Immortal Pavilion's formation. Without that barrier, he relied on his personal calculation skills and profound Daoist foundation to suppress this incredibly powerful forbidden spell to a mere ray of divine light. Yet, it was still enough to instantly annihilate the Blood Sea Sword Formation, a perfect slap in the face, and wiped out Li Fan's Radiant Star clone!
Li Fan was unaware of this, and when he replicated it, he naturally went all out. Not to mention any restraint, he unleashed the move with all his might! The intense light from the burst was so strong that it was almost visible, to the point that Li Fan's Radiant Star clone was completely drained of its mana and collapsed once again!
Although Li Fan quickly reformed his form, he discovered that his Divine Sense was severely damaged! Three flowers and one of them had withered away!
The consumption of this 'Sunrise Emei' is truly enormous! Of course, its power is also obvious. The fact that the Blood Sea Sword Howl Formation was broken demonstrates its destructive effect on the terrain!
Li Fan unleashed a burst of light, instantly destroying all the spells and talismans set up inside the Immortal Pavilion. The restrictions were completely broken, and the magic arrays were shattered. Even the Demon Claw that were frantically devouring flesh and blood outside the Immortal Pavilion were momentarily quiet. In the next instant, they pounced from all directions like wild dogs that had broken free, crushing the Immortal Pavilion with overwhelming force!
However, at this moment, Xuan Yunzi, who was holding the White Hidden Divine Sword to shield himself and was completely unharmed, paid no attention to the demonic tide that surged like a tidal wave, breaking through the window frames and walls, and tearing the Immortal Pavilion and Dao Tower to shreds like paper. He also paid no attention to Li Fan, whose magic power was exhausted and who was now just a faint, half-illusory figure. He simply turned his head slowly to look behind him.
Those from Hengshan were alright; they were just covering their eyes, temporarily blinded by the glare.
But none of the Emei disciples are left.
Only scattered patches of reddish-brown, human-shaped ashes, along with the Fourth Department robes and swords strewn about, lay on the floor, steps, and walls, leaving nothing but emptiness.
Yes, these bloody ashes are the remains of the Emei Nanshan disciples that Xuan Yunzi brought down the mountain.
As soon as that light shone down on them, these Emei disciples had their Dao hearts melted, their Qi Sea burned, their Divine Nascent Soul incinerated, and they were blasted into pieces of flesh and ashes, which fell all over the ground. They all died under the 'Sunrise of Emei'.
"Hey, don't blame me!" Li Fan chuckled. "This trick only destroys those weak-willed Demon Path. Look at Hengshan, they're completely unharmed! It's all because you pulled them away from Emei that their resolve was broken, making them easy targets for me..."
"Die."
In the next instant, Xuan Yunzi slashed with his sword, decapitating Xinghui's clone and severing it in two! White Hidden Sword soared into the sky, directly breaking through the seal on the sword's edge, annihilating the Immortal Pavilion Dao Palace and countless Demon Claw Devil Form in one strike! Turning them all to ashes! The bursting Sword Qi surged and swept across the sky! A single sword strike severed distant mountains! In an instant, the heavens and earth roared, and mountains crumbled and the earth split!
Holy crap, this guy's gone berserk!
Li Fan was decapitated by this sword, and his clone was also severed. Moreover, his primordial spirit was also injured by White Hidden Sword force, and another of his three flowers was broken!
Startled, Li Fan quickly used his primordial spirit to escape and hide behind the pile of monsters, where he used star power to re-form a clone.
Without uttering a word, Xuan Yunzi charged forward with his sword! He swiftly slicing through the countless demonic hands, killing them all! He pursued Li Fan relentlessly, determined to kill him with his sword!
Although he managed to revert to his original form by taking advantage of the demonic hands, Li Fan could only continue to hide and dodge, fleeing in panic.
There was really no way around it. In terms of cultivation foundation alone, he was already far inferior to Xuan Yunzi at the half-step Divine Transformation. What's more, his opponent actually had a first-grade Sword Lord, completely bullying him who was unarmed. Unable to use his exquisite close combat skills, Li Fan could only make a strategic retreat (running away with his head in his hands).
"Die, die, die, die, die, die, die--!"
The leader of the Southern Faction of Emei was also filled with murderous intent, almost driven mad with rage. He wielded the White Hidden Divine Sword, unleashing a chaotic Sword Qi! The killing energy was so intense that blood and flesh flew everywhere! The dark ink of the sky splattered over his head and face, staining his white clothes black!
If an ordinary cultivator from the Xuanmen sect were to fight Devil Embryo like this, their robes and magical artifacts would be tainted by this level of evil. Not only would they immediately become demonic and lose control, but they might also have their body invaded by the evil energy, damaging their meridians and bone marrow, leaving fatal hidden dangers.
But at this moment, Xuan Yunzi was almost insane. He no longer cared about anything else. Relying only on the sharpness of his divine sword, he used Dao Qi to form a layer of shimmering, jade-like Qi wall on his skin through every pore. He slashed with his sword and struck with his palm, running rampant in the face of the demonic hand's pursuit! He chased straight after Li Fan, determined to bring him to justice!
However, Xuan Yunzi was still in his physical body, which attracted a large group of demonic hands that kept rushing to block him. In addition, his ability to escape was slower than that of his physical body. So he repeatedly tried to clear the area, but was repeatedly overwhelmed by demonic hands from all directions, allowing Li Fan to create space again.
"Hehehe! Trash! Come and hit me! Come and hit me! Come and hit me! Blood will shatter mountains and mountains will crumble!"
Li Fan naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to wear down his opponent while he was in a daze. While taunting Xuan Yunzi with strange cries, he would occasionally turn around and pounce back, unleashing a powerful slash with the force of a thousand pounds, aimed directly at the Hengshan disciples who were lined up to defend against the attack!
These Hengshan disciples were truly unlucky. They had lost their cultivation, gone blind, and damaged their primordial spirit. They were already exhausted, barely managing to form a battle formation to defend against the onslaught of demonic Demon Claw. They never expected Li Fan to launch a sneak attack, suddenly slashing down with a Blood Mountain Heavy Sword at the weakest point of their formation! How could they possibly withstand it?
The one who was attacked was instantly smashed in two by a sword to the head. The demonic hand took the opportunity to pounce and drag away the pieces of the body, while more rushed in from the formation, tearing out hearts and lungs, and in an instant, several people in the formation were torn into pieces and eaten.
Thus, all the Nascent Soul Stage disciples who had come out of seclusion to resist perished in the demonic tribulation. But the Demon Claw were still not satisfied; they began smashing doors and windows from house to house, storming into meditation rooms to tear apart the cultivators still in seclusion within the magic arrays to heal their wounds!
"Aaaaaah--! I will kill you!!"
Xuan Yunzi wasn't stupid. He was so angry that he lost his mind, but seeing that things were going badly, he put the overall situation first. He gritted his teeth and broke through the encirclement of the demons, fighting his way back to the ruins of the Immortal Pavilion to fight desperately and protect the cultivators who were still in seclusion from damage.
"Come, come! Kill me! Blood and fire will spread! Blood and fire will spread! Blood and fire will spread!"
Li Fan, of course, wouldn't miss the chance to kick a man when he's down. He turned around and circled around Xuan Yunzi while launching sniper fire with his sword.
He didn't actually need to wound or kill his opponent. He would slash at Xuan Yunzi with his sword one moment and then at the magic array in the quiet room the next, constantly causing trouble for Xuan Yunzi and making him put out fires everywhere, running around in the siege.
"Who are you! Who exactly are you!"
Xuan Yunzi was going crazy. Although White Hidden Sword power was unparalleled and it could sustain itself while fighting, that was only relative to other first-grade Divine Transformation magic weapons. In terms of mana, Divine Sense, and Qi consumption, each of his sword strikes was naturally superior to Li Fan's.
However, he couldn't ignore the sword fire that Li Fan casually flicked, because Xuan Yunzi missed two strikes and realized something was wrong.
This sword fire is different from ordinary Dao fire. It will not be extinguished immediately by the Dao Qi of the formation. Instead, it contains a huge amount of Dao power and is like a maggot clinging to the bone, impossible to extinguish with hand seals. If you are not careful, this sword fire will burn the entire Dao body of the formation to ashes! Moreover, even if it only burns for a while and breaks the formation, the Demon Claw will rush in and tear off the head of the cultivator in seclusion!
"Sparkling meteors cleave through! Sword Roll Residual Clouds!"
Xuan Yunzi also saw that Li Fan was deliberately wasting his energy, so he shouted and directly used a superior sword technique! His White Hidden Sword danced wildly and thrust wildly! Instantly, the Sword Qi formed a new energy field, forcing back all the surrounding Demon Claw!
Seeing this, Li Fan was not only not pleased, but instead burst into laughter, forked his twin swords together, and blood-red flames shot up from the blades, dazzling with red light.
"Alright! Let's see whose sword is faster! Three Flowers Refresh! Sword Fire Spreads Across the Plains! Blood Wind Dances Wildly!"
In that instant, Li Fan instantly restored his Three Flowers, and his Dao power surged dramatically! No, it should be said that it returned to normal levels! His pair of crimson swords danced like a raging storm, wildly slashing across the sky! The sword flames even unleashed two fiery tornadoes, spreading across the heavens and earth!
It turned out that the demonic hand containing malevolent energy in the surrounding area was the perfect fuel for the True Yang Dao Fire the blood sword, and a large number of Devil Embryo were instantly ignited and engulfed by this flame! This sword fire! Under the encouragement of the all-encompassing malevolent energy, actually became a prairie fire!
The sword fire descended from the sky in a concentrated burst! Like a fiery comet falling from the heavens! It crashed down with a bang onto the wall of Qi where White Hidden Sword Qi had gathered!
Although Li Fan's sword fire was no match for White Hidden Sword energy head-on, the Sword Qi unleashed by the Blood Wind Dance was ten, a hundred, a thousand times stronger! Thus, the world-destroying, sky-burning flames managed to penetrate the dense sword net and scorch upwards, turning the flying immortal Immortal Pavilion into a sea of fire!
"I... how could I lose to you... Ha!!"
Xuan Yunzi stared at the sky-swallowing, earth-burning fiery clouds rushing towards him, and suddenly roared angrily. His eyes turned bloodshot, and the Daoist Dao Breath that spewed from his mouth and nose mixed with blood exploded, shooting three zhang high! In an instant, he raised the Daoist power around his body to the extreme! His divine sword danced wildly in his hand! The speed of the sword almost doubled!
In an instant! White Treasure Sword Lord Sword Light roared and shone brightly! The sword force that burst forth from the blade shook the earth! Even the floating immortal tower could not withstand such a surge of magical power! The sword wind struck fiercely! It began to disintegrate!
"Xuan Yun! Don't fall for my trap!" A male voice suddenly rang out, warm as jade yet cold as ice, "You can't fight with a fast sword! Even you! Such exhaustion wouldn't withstand the power of my sword!"
"How could I lose?! I can't lose!!!"
However, Xuan Yunzi was deaf to reason, ignoring White Treasure Sword Lord's advice and the fatigue of his Dao body and primordial spirit, and slashed wildly with his sword! As if possessed by a demon! Driven by anger, hatred, and killing intent! The speed of his sword dance actually rivaled that of the Blood Wind Sword Dance! For every sword fire that burned down, there was a sword wind that swept back! Upright and honorable, one sword strike after another! He shattered the Blood Wind Sword Dance once again!
"Ha! Hahaha! Great! Awesome! Refresh again!"
Li Fan laughed loudly, and amidst the fiery cloud hurricane that Xuan Yunzi had shattered, he refreshed his Three Flowers once again! He refreshed his exhausted energy! Let's do it again! He shook his shoulders and swayed his body, and two more arms appeared from his shoulders! In his hands, four blood swords condensed with Dao Flame were forcibly gathered!
What a fool! He has True Yang Limitless as his foundation! And he has thousands upon thousands of limits he can squander! His Dao power output is inexhaustible!
"Aghhhh! Blood and wind dance wildly!!"
"Yiya! The Sword Roll Residual Clouds!!"
Then, the crimson and white Sword Qi exploded! A raging storm swept across the heavens and earth! All the demonic hands in the sky were burned and destroyed by this turbulent rain of swords! The Flying Immortal Pavilion was shattered and collapsed, and amidst the explosions, it transformed into a huge ball of fire, falling between the peaks and igniting a raging fire in the night sky and dense forest!
"Cough cough! Cough cough cough... Huff... Huff..."
Xuan Yunzi was panting heavily, veins bulging on his face, his body in pieces, blood seeping from his pores mixed with the black, malevolent aura emanating from him, like a leaky balloon with its vital energy overflowing. He leaned on the White Hidden Divine Sword, using all his strength to keep himself from kneeling.
When Li Fan landed in front of him, he was still in the same blood-red robe and masked form, with almost no damage visible on his body.
"Hey, it's only been a third of an incense stick's time, and you're already giving up? How dare you call yourself the head of the Emei Sect?"
Yes, Li Fan won. Although it's unclear how many points he lost, it was obvious that he won.
Perhaps Xuan Yunzi's skill is profound, his foundation is solid, his Dao heart is as firm as iron, and he also has the Bai Zang Divine Sword to assist him, making him truly formidable.
But in this world, there is truly no one who can stand against Qingyue in a sword duel.
Since every sword strike counts as a move, once Li Fan learned the move "Star Stream Slash! Sword Roll Residual Clouds!", the outcome was already predetermined.
Therefore, no matter how powerful Xuan Yunzi's Sword Qi is, or how sharp the blade of Bai Cang Divine Sword is, once the sword path is deciphered, they will never be able to touch Li Fan's clothes again.
Li Fan, however, was able to cleanly and efficiently kill the leader of the Emei Nanshan sect on the spot.
"Huff... huff... huff... why...?"
The sword wound started between Xuan Yunzi's eyebrows and spread to his entire face. The fine sword marks tore his body apart, and his entire body shattered like cracked porcelain. Having taken countless sword blows, Xuan Yunzi's body was now only barely held together by his Dao heart.
"You're actually... an Emei disciple... With such abilities, why didn't you come with me... to stop them...?"
Clearly, Xuan Yunzi had misunderstood why his sword technique had been completely broken, and Li Fan was too lazy to explain it to him.
"Although we follow different paths, I respect you for having the courage to betray Emei. It's just a pity that no one in this world can stand in my way."
Xuan Yunzi, you should disintegrate.
Xuan Yunzi glared at Li Fan, raised his hand, and slapped his own forehead, shattering his skull. Instantly, a white light flew out from his divine court, disappearing like a firefly. Xuan Yunzi himself was also instantly shattered into pieces, scattered like glass.
Suddenly a male voice spoke up, "Since you are an Emei disciple and have defeated Xuan Yunzi, you are entitled to my loyalty and to succeed me as the Emei sect leader!"
Li Fan ignored the White Treasure Sword Lord on the ground, not even glancing at the peerless divine weapon, and flew directly past the Sword Lord to the wreckage of the crashed immortal island, sneering.
"What, aren't you coming out yet? Xuan Yunzi risked his life to be your shield, and you're just cowering in the back? Come out and let me see what you two cowards look like."
Then the firelight flickered, and two Emei Nascent Divine Transformation Realm cultivators emerged side by side from the ruins. It was clear that the two originally looked exactly alike, and it was unclear whether they were Dao Companion cultivating some secret technique or simply twins.
However, both of them were seriously injured. One had lost both arms, and the other had lost both legs. Their bodies were wrapped together in bandages, and there were still traces of the fighting power from the battles at their wounds. The bandages were also stained with blood and smelled of medicine after the surprise attack. It was clear that they had been crippled when the family split up.
But the two showed no fear, and bowed to Li Fan.
"Chu Yingxiong and Xu Yingjie, we are honored to learn from your superior skills, fellow Daoist."
"Holy crap... no, you guys are all crippled, why don't you just kill yourselves?"
Li Fan was speechless for a moment.
The infighting within Emei is getting too intense... Could it be that Xuan Yunzi was the last one standing with any fighting ability, and that's why he got the position of sect leader?
Suddenly, Li Fan felt another warning in his mind! He dodged instantly!
At the same moment, a 'child' with four limbs severed and only one eye remaining suddenly emerged from the ground! It had a broken sword blade between its teeth and lunged straight at Li Fan's chest!
This guy must have used the Turtle Breathing Technique to hold his breath at some point! And his invisibility technique was so amazing that even the blind observer couldn't detect him! He must be at the Divine Transformation Realm! His sudden appearance to assassinate was almost without warning! Li Fan was shocked and couldn't stop himself. A flash of blood and a gust of sword wind swept past, severing the boy's face and head, breaking him into four pieces!
"Zuifeng Ganue!" "Pifeng Biyue!"
At the same time! The brothers Tian Can and Di Que rushed forward side by side! One used a teleportation technique to move aside, while the other unleashed both palms! They attacked Li Fan without hesitation!
Unfortunately, the brother who only has legs was probably more skilled in palm techniques, while the brother who only has arms was perhaps more adept at footwork. Now, they have been forced to switch roles. Although they are cooperating, they are using basic Emei Cultivation Method and can't last more than a few moves against Li Fan.
So Li Fan stopped humiliating them. He dodged the palm strike, flashed forward, and with a sword, cleanly and swiftly beheaded both of them.
In the blink of an eye, four Divine Lords were sent to their deaths, but for some reason, Li Fan couldn't feel Gao Xing...
Beneath the False Moon, amidst the raging flames,
No one applauded or cheered at this brutal killing scene; only the wind of blood blowing across the cold spine of White Hidden Sword produced a sobbing, mournful sound.
