With a single use of Sever Emotion and Sever Righteousness, Sword Qi crisscrossed the area dozens of meters around him. Everything within thirty meters was cut apart, without exception!

Fortunately, Sword Servant had reacted quickly and taken the three women dozens of meters away. Otherwise, under the power of such a move, let alone three women who knew no martial arts, even the Three Fiends of Wolf Mountain might not have escaped alive!

Qin Shuang, who had been certain of victory, was greatly startled when he suddenly saw Li Chenfeng unleash such a move.

Since he had first entered the martial world, he had never encountered an enemy of this caliber. Even sect experts who had already advanced to the Xiantian Realm would be defeated beneath his Frost Fist!

Yet now, as he watched the Sword Qi closing in on him, Qin Shuang felt a long-forgotten threat of death...

His fists lashed out repeatedly as he unleashed a move from the Frost Fist, Brushing Away Frost, Revealing Dew. Wave after wave of Sword Qi was neutralized by his fist force, yet the Sword Qi Qin Shuang had deflected did not dissipate so easily.

Sss! Sss! Sss...

Sword Qi ran rampant, and killing intent filled the air!

The surrounding trees were severed, their leaves pulverized and scattered across several meters. Dust filled the entire area, making it impossible to see what had happened within for the moment.

After all the dust had been blown away by the mountain wind, two figures standing opposite each other appeared before Sword Servant and the other three.

"Young Master..." Sword Servant could not help calling out.

Li Chenfeng's Changli Sword had already been sheathed, while a faint layer of frost still clung to his body.

"Ha... ha..."

Qin Shuang's chest rose and fell rapidly. Looking at his robe, now slashed to tatters by Sword Qi, he gave a helpless smile inwardly.

Although he had blocked most of the Sword Qi, the young man's move had been too powerful. He still could not defend against it completely and could only avoid having his vital points struck.

More than a dozen places on his body throbbed with pain, wounds left by the Sword Qi. Fortunately, they were only superficial injuries, and he had already sealed the wounds with his own cold energy.

"I lost!"

After speaking those three words, Qin Shuang felt much more at ease.

Although this defeat was somewhat difficult for him to accept, he was not overly obsessed with victory or defeat. Thus, saying those words was not too difficult.

Hearing Qin Shuang's words, Li Chenfeng smiled faintly.

Unarrogant in victory, undaunted in defeat. He truly deserved to be Xiong Ba's chief disciple.

"Then I'll take these three with me. Farewell!"

Without saying anything more, Li Chenfeng turned and walked toward Sword Servant and the other three.

Qin Shuang watched the figure before him without trying to stop him. Since he had already lost, he would not use the World Society's name to oppress others. Moreover, the other party clearly did not fear the World Society's reputation.

Still, he firmly etched Li Chenfeng's youthful face into his memory—the face of the man who had defeated him in a single move.

With three women traveling alongside them, Li Chenfeng's group naturally moved much more slowly.

Li Chenfeng had originally planned to find a small town and settle the mother and daughters there. Yet after the woman's repeated pleas, he finally changed his mind and temporarily kept them by his side.

After all, they were three women without the slightest ability to protect themselves. In such troubled times, they simply could not survive without someone to rely on.

From the woman, Li Chenfeng also learned their details.

The middle-aged man who had died at the hands of the Three Fiends of Wolf Mountain had been the sect master of the Clearwind Sword Sect. Because he had refused to let the sect be annexed by the World Society, his family had ultimately been destroyed.

The older of the two girls was named Liu Caifeng, while the younger was Liu Qingluan. They were twin sisters, both having just turned thirteen this year.

After Li Chenfeng agreed to take them in, the woman and her two daughters regarded themselves as his maidservants and diligently tended to his meals and daily needs along the way.

Li Chenfeng did not object. Having lived the life of a young master across two lifetimes, he greatly enjoyed this sort of existence where clothes were brought to him and meals were placed before him.

After finding a small town and buying a carriage, the five of them finally picked up speed as they headed toward Leshan.

One day, on the banks of the Min River in Leshan, Li Chenfeng looked upon the mighty river flowing endlessly eastward. On the mountain cliff opposite stood a Giant Buddha as massive as a mountain, gazing upon the river with an expression of compassion.

"When the water floods the Giant Buddha's knees, fire burns Lingyun Grotto!"

Staring at the Giant Buddha, Li Chenfeng murmured as he looked toward a nearby cave, a faint smile appearing on his handsome face.

"Lingyun Grotto, Fire Qilin..."

"Young Master!" Sword Servant suddenly appeared behind Li Chenfeng and called softly.

"How was it? Did you find out?" Li Chenfeng turned and asked.

"Yes, Young Master. The news has been confirmed. Three days from now, Duan Shuai, the Southern Qilin Sword Chief, and Nie Renwang, North-Drinking Mad Saber, will fight to determine victory atop the Giant Buddha!"

"Good." Li Chenfeng nodded. "Then let's wait in Leshan Town."

One of Li Chenfeng's main reasons for leaving home this time was this battle at Lingyun Grotto.

It was precisely because of this battle that the Southern Qilin Sword Chief and North-Drinking Mad Saber both vanished into Lingyun Grotto. It was also then that Nie Feng and Duan Lang were taken to the World Society, beginning their very different lives.

"On the southern mountain peak, the Fire Qilin blazes fiercely; deep beneath the northern sea, the Snow-Drinking Saber chills coldly. I wonder just how mighty the Fire Qilin Sword and Snow-Drinking Saber truly are!"

Excitement appeared faintly on Li Chenfeng's face. Ever since seeing these two divine weapons in a comic during his first life, he had felt an intense longing for them.

Now that he finally had the chance to fulfill a childhood dream, he could not help feeling somewhat excited.

"I just wonder whether these items can be taken out of this world..."

He still wore the Storage Ring from the Battle Through the Heavens World on his hand, but Li Chenfeng had tested it long ago. In this world, his Storage Ring could not be opened, and none of the items inside could be retrieved. Moreover, sabers and swords were far larger than a Storage Ring. He did not know whether the Myriad Worlds Gate would reject them either.

Although, in the Battle Through the Heavens World, people pursued high-level Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques more than divine weapons and sharp artifacts, many techniques still required weapons to display their full power.

For example, the various sword techniques of the Misty Cloud Sect, as well as the Black Heavy Ruler Xiao Yan had obtained from Medicine Elder and its accompanying Dou Techniques.

If he could bring the divine weapons of The Storm Riders World back with him, they would likely become a great source of aid!

Listening to his young master's quiet muttering, Sword Servant could not help speaking up.

"Young Master, the Fire Qilin Sword and Snow-Drinking Saber are the family heirlooms of Duan Shuai and Nie Renwang. Obtaining them will probably not be easy!"

Ever since learning that Li Chenfeng had set his sights on the two divine weapons of martial world legend, Sword Servant had been filled with worry.

Those two were both renowned masters who had been famous for more than a decade. With only the two of them, trying to seize divine weapons from such men... was no different from a fool's dream!

"Don't worry. I merely want to see whether there is an opportunity. I won't act rashly."

Li Chenfeng knew this part of the story very well. However, he could not tell Sword Servant that those two would be taken away by the Fire Qilin, so he could only reassure him for now.
