Battle!

Swish, swish, swish!

Each flash of sword light bloomed into a spray of blood.

"Ahhh!!!"

With a frenzied roar, the eldest of the three finally swung his blade, blocking the web of sword light unleashed by the Sword Servant.

The sword light halted in an instant, and the Sword Servant reappeared where he had been standing, as though everything that had just happened had been nothing but an illusion.

"Gasp... gasp..."

Panting heavily, the eldest looked at the hand gripping his blade. His entire arm was trembling, and he no longer had the strength even to swing his weapon.

As for the second of the three, he was already sprawled on the ground, covered in blood. His body looked as though it had endured a thousand cuts, without a single patch of uninjured flesh left.

Gulp!

Swallowing hard, he finally understood how those people he had butchered had felt. It was a despairing terror!

"Y-you... who are you people?"

The Sword Servant did not answer. His figure vanished once more, and sword light spread out like a net, descending upon the eldest again.

He no longer had any strength to resist. He could only watch helplessly as the enemy's sword light carved him into a limbless stump before a final thrust sealed his throat.

His miserable wail vanished in that instant.

"Stop!"

A loud shout rang out from afar, but it was already too late. The Three Fiends of Wolf Mountain had all died at the Sword Servant's hands.

Frost Fist!

The surrounding air seemed to freeze at once as a gigantic fist formed from frost smashed toward the Sword Servant.

Clang!

With a ringing clash of metal, the Sword Servant was forced back more than ten meters, retreating directly before Li Chenfeng and the others.

Li Chenfeng immediately frowned. Although the Sword Servant had successfully blocked that attack, the short sword in his hand was now coated in frost. Even the right hand gripping it had turned bluish-purple.

That was a sign of injury from the opponent's extreme cold energy. Li Chenfeng looked up at the white-clad figure standing not far away, already knowing the newcomer's identity.

Even Qin Shuang, who has yet to reach the Xiantian Realm, is already this terrifying? It seems Xiong Ba's three ultimate arts truly cannot be underestimated!

In the future, the World Society had relied solely on Xiong Ba's three disciples to wipe out nearly half the martial world. Even Unparalleled City had been destroyed. Though martial experts had been scarce then, accomplishing such a feat still showed just how formidable those three ultimate arts were.

Then how powerful would Xiong Ba be after fully mastering all three ultimate arts? And how powerful would he become after cultivating the Three-Part Return-to-Origin Qi and creating the Three-Part Divine Finger?

"Whew..."

Letting out a long breath, Li Chenfeng felt even more keenly that he was growing far too slowly. If he did not want to become someone else's prey in the future, he needed greater strength!

"Qin Shuang of the World Society. May I ask who you are, sir, and why you have made enemies of my World Society?"

Dressed in snow-white robes, Qin Shuang glanced at the three corpses on the ground, then at Li Chenfeng and the others ahead of him before asking with a frown.

Li Chenfeng jumped down from his horse and strode directly toward Qin Shuang.

After all, this was a supporting character with quite a lot of appearances in the original story. He was far more important than Qin Shuang's younger brother, who had died the moment he appeared.

Moreover, Li Chenfeng was quite interested in the Frost Hall Master of the World Society, whom Xiong Ba had praised as "upright and sincere."

As he watched Li Chenfeng stand before him with sword in hand, Qin Shuang's expression gradually darkened.

This youth, who looked even younger than himself, gave him an invisible pressure, as though a sharp sword were resting against his throat.

"Who exactly are you? Why have you made enemies of my World Society?" Seeing that the man before him still refused to answer, Qin Shuang's killing intent rose.

He might be "loyal, honest, and sincere," but that was only toward his own people. Since the age of sixteen, Qin Shuang had fought east and west for the World Society, and no small number of people had died by his hand!

"Defeat me, and these three will be yours to deal with. Then you will naturally learn whatever you wish to know!"

Li Chenfeng stared intently at Qin Shuang as he spoke.

At that moment, his blood boiled and his fighting spirit surged. He had arrived in this world two years ago, and now he could be considered accomplished in his training.

Yet in all that time, he had never fought with his full strength.

Even though there had been people in the manor who could spar with him, various circumstances had prevented him from truly testing his limits.

Now that he had encountered Xiong Ba's chief disciple, the inheritor of the Frost Fist, the desire for battle hidden deep within Li Chenfeng's heart was finally ignited.

Clang!

With a clear ring, the longsword left its sheath. A dazzling streak of sword light flashed out, slicing a fallen leaf cleanly in two.

"If you cannot withstand it, then today may well be the day you die!"

Swish...!

The sword light flashed, and the blade tip shot straight for Qin Shuang's throat.

"What a fast sword. What a fierce sword!"

Qin Shuang was greatly startled. He leaped backward, swinging both fists as he unleashed Wind and Frost in the Face. The surrounding temperature abruptly plummeted, and white frost slowly began to form...

Immediately afterward came Frost Marks Everywhere. The newly formed frost and snow instantly gathered together and surged madly toward Li Chenfeng.

"Good! What an impressive Qin Shuang!"

Li Chenfeng was also startled. He had not expected Qin Shuang's attacks to be so fierce or his transitions so swift. With a mere wave of his hand, he had combined two moves of the Frost Fist, causing their power to soar.

Yet facing Qin Shuang's tyrannical, freezing fist force, Li Chenfeng did not retreat. Instead, he stepped forward and used the Ao Family's inherited Swordsmanship. Sword light flashed brilliantly as the blade tip suddenly changed direction, stabbing straight toward Qin Shuang's heart.

Of the two Sword Techniques Li Chenfeng had mastered, the inherited Ao Family Swordsmanship prioritized speed, its moves containing the essence of a raging wind.

It complemented the Raging Wind Tide, the Dou Qi Cultivation Method Li Chenfeng had originally practiced.

"What a fast sword, what a fierce Sword Technique! Who exactly are you?"

Qin Shuang once again used the Frost Fist to block Li Chenfeng's fatal strike. Amid his shock, he could not help asking again.

"If you want to know, defeat the sword in my hand first!"

The moment he finished speaking, Li Chenfeng charged forward again with his sword.

In an instant, sword light flashed across the field while fist shadows overlapped. Crisscrossing Sword Qi wove into a net, and freezing fist force sealed the surroundings in ice.

"Fall back!"

Watching the battle before him, the Sword Servant led the woman and the two wide-eyed little girls more than fifty meters away.

The Sword Servant did not sheathe his short sword. His eyes remained fixed firmly on the two combatants.

As he fought Qin Shuang, Li Chenfeng was also weighing matters in his mind.

I never expected Qin Shuang's strength to have reached such a level. His Frost Fist follows his will like an extension of his body. Defeating him quickly will be difficult.

As he thought, he looked at the frost gradually forming over his Changli Sword and at his right hand gripping the hilt. He could already feel his blood circulation becoming slightly sluggish.

No, a prolonged battle is disadvantageous for me. The longer this continues, the denser the surrounding cold energy will become. Then the Frost Fist will only grow stronger. As one side rises while the other falls, I will likely be defeated!

Li Chenfeng circulated the High Profound Tier fire-attribute Cultivation Method he had practiced in the Battle Through the Heavens World, transforming the true qi within his body into fire-attribute Dou Qi and temporarily dispersing the frost energy around him.

Then I have no choice but to use that move!

Having made his decision, Li Chenfeng's eyes flashed coldly, and the Ao Family Swordsmanship in his hand changed in an instant.

"As the strongest swordsman, when you draw your sword, you must—Sever Emotion and Sever Righteousness!"

It was as though he could hear the Sword Demon's words from when he had taught him this move.

Although Li Chenfeng had long mastered the Severing Sword Art, he had never used its ultimate move, its most powerful strike—Sever Emotion and Sever Righteousness.

But now, the battle had clearly reached the decisive moment. This was also his first battle since entering the martial world, and Li Chenfeng had no desire to lose here.

This was Li Chenfeng's killing move!
