Arrangement

The Sword Servant came before Li Chenfeng and bowed. "Young Master, among the five hundred Sword Guards, two hundred and fifty are in the Late Houtian Realm, two hundred are at the Acquired Peak Realm, and another forty-five have reached the Half-Step Xiantian Realm.

Five have broken through to the Xiantian Realm. Four are in the Early Xiantian Realm, while one is in the Mid Xiantian Realm!"

The Sword Servant's voice still echoed through the hall. Aside from Li Chenfeng, everyone else was stunned by his words.

If this was all true, then all five hundred of them possessed cultivation at the Late Houtian Realm or above. There were even five Xiantian Realm experts. Didn't that mean the Sword Guards alone nearly rivaled the combined martial strength of the rest of the villa?

"Good. Very good!" Li Chenfeng said with a smile and a nod.

"Then what comes next will be much easier." Li Chenfeng shifted his gaze to Tie Yong and said solemnly, "Commander Tie!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

"I order you to lead two thousand guards to every region starting today. Anyone who has attacked Sword Worship Villa is to be wiped out!"

"Yes!"

Although Tie Yong felt somewhat uncertain, he still forced himself to accept the order.

Li Chenfeng smiled. Naturally, he knew what Tie Yong was worried about. His guard force alone truly could not accomplish what Li Chenfeng had ordered.

"Four Sword Elders, I'm afraid I'll need you to take action this time. I order you to bring all the guest experts and split into four groups to assist Tie Yong in accomplishing this matter!"

"We obey the Young Villa Master's command!" The Four Sword Elders clasped their fists in unison and accepted the order.

"Mm." Li Chenfeng nodded.

"Sword Servant, the Sword Guards have trained for many years. It's time they saw some blood. Lead them north across the river and into the World Society's territory. Since they dared attack Sword Worship Villa, we naturally cannot show weakness. I want you to weaken the World Society's strength as much as possible. As for how you do it, you decide for yourself!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

"Mm, that will be all for now. Go and make your preparations." With that, Li Chenfeng waved his hand and dismissed everyone.

Only Ao Tian and Duan Lang remained in the hall. Watching the figures vanish beyond the doorway, then looking at Li Chenfeng as he issued command after command, Duan Lang's young heart filled with reverence for him.

Li Chenfeng smiled faintly and looked at Duan Lang. "All right, they're gone. It's time for us to get down to business.

Starting today, I'll personally teach you martial arts. Though you're naturally gifted, you've wasted too much time. Compared with Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, you're far too far behind. From now on, you must cultivate even more diligently!"

Duan Lang's face was full of determination as he nodded at Li Chenfeng. "Mm, Senior Brother. I'll cultivate even harder. I definitely won't bring shame upon you or Sword Worship Villa!"

Li Chenfeng brought Duan Lang and Ao Tian to the training ground. At that moment, a delicate figure was practicing swordsmanship there. As her sword moves unfolded, flashing sword light filled the space within two meters of her, chilling anyone who watched to the bone.

Duan Lang stared wide-eyed. Since childhood, he had followed his father in practicing sword forms. Though they had only been basic sword moves, after so many years, Duan Lang had mastered them completely and built a solid foundation.

"All right, stop staring. Let's go over." Li Chenfeng patted Duan Lang on the head and smiled.

When Li Chenfeng arrived, both Liu Qingluan, who had been practicing, and Liu Caifeng, who stood nearby, stopped what they were doing and walked over.

"Young Master, Second Young Master, Young Master Duan!" The two women bowed to Li Chenfeng and the others at the same time.

"Hehe, Feng'er, Luan'er, come here. I have something good to give you!" Seeing the two women, Li Chenfeng's smile unconsciously broadened.

"Young Master, what good thing is it?" Liu Caifeng asked curiously.

Li Chenfeng took out four rolls of sheepskin parchment from his robe and said to the four of them, "Besides dealing with Xiong Ba, I obtained three divine skills from him during this trip to the World Society: Frost Fist, Cloud-Purging Palm, and Wind God Leg. These are the divine skills Xiong Ba passed down to his three disciples, and each one is extraordinarily powerful.

Among them, Wind God Leg is not only immensely powerful but also an exceptionally profound movement technique. Combined with the Sword Technique you've learned, it can double your strength. So now, I'm going to teach this divine skill to you!"

"Is it really that powerful?" Liu Caifeng blinked and asked Li Chenfeng in an adorably coy manner.

Li Chenfeng rolled his eyes at the girl and ignored her coquettish antics.

However, unlike the Liu Sisters, who knew nothing of it, Duan Lang knew much more. It was precisely because of this that he was so shocked.

After all, each of these three martial arts was a supreme Cultivation Method no less formidable than his clan's inherited Sun-Eroding Sword Art. They were also the martial arts Xiong Ba had personally taught his three disciples.

Yet Li Chenfeng had somehow gotten his hands on them.

"This martial art is extremely powerful. In this martial world, it counts as a supreme Cultivation Method. Any one of them is no weaker than my Meridian-Severing Sword Qi."

Li Chenfeng's expression turned serious. "Now, I'm passing these Cultivation Methods on to you. But remember this: you must not pass them on to anyone else. Do you understand?"

Seeing Li Chenfeng's solemn expression, Liu Caifeng also put away her playful attitude. The four of them answered him seriously at the same time, "Yes, we will obey Young Master's—Senior Brother's—command!"

Li Chenfeng nodded in satisfaction. He looked at Duan Lang, thought for a moment, and said, "Duan Lang, I have all three parts of the Three Absolutes Divine Skill with me. If you wish to practice them, I can teach you all of them.

However, the greatest taboo in martial arts is being half-hearted. You have already built a solid foundation in Sword Technique, so my advice is that you should focus on Sword Technique for now. Once you can truly wield the Duan Clan's inherited Sun-Eroding Sword Art with complete mastery, it won't be too late to consider anything else!"

After hearing Li Chenfeng's words, Duan Lang nodded. He calmed himself and looked at Li Chenfeng resolutely. "Yes, Senior Brother. I'll focus wholeheartedly on practicing the sword!"

"Good! You're still too young, and your internal energy is insufficient. For now, I'll teach you Wind God Leg and my Ao Family Swordsmanship. Once you turn fifteen, I'll teach you the Sun-Eroding Sword Art in accordance with your father's final wish!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother!"

As for his nominal younger brother Ao Tian and the two women, they all mainly practiced Sword Technique as well. Moreover, the three of them were far less talented than Duan Lang. Even if he taught them everything, they might not be able to learn it all. Therefore, Li Chenfeng only intended to teach them the first move of Wind God Leg, "Catching Wind and Shadow."

As had been said before, Wind God Leg was not only a profound leg technique but also a supreme lightness skill. Its first move focused primarily on movement and agility. It was the essential introductory technique of Wind God Leg; once mastered, it allowed one to move without a trace, as fast as a shooting star.

Li Chenfeng handed the four rolls of sheepskin parchment to the three of them. What was recorded on them was precisely the cultivation formula for Wind God Leg.

"Memorize the Cultivation Method first. Starting tomorrow, I'll personally guide your cultivation!"

"Yes, Young Master—Senior Brother!"

All four of them answered respectfully.
