Did You See Clearly?

Did You See Clearly?

"Who are you, and why have you trespassed into our Pope's Palace?"

Ju Douluo's gaze was grave, and he was deeply wary of the man before him.

Riding a sword through the air, the man before him was clearly a supreme swordsman.

Across the continent, there were only a handful of swordsmen capable of Sword Riding Flight.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was one of them.

The other was the one atop Hidden Sword Peak.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin was already past sixty. The man before them was extremely young, so he could not possibly be Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

That meant he could only be the one from Hidden Sword Peak.

At that thought, Ju Douluo's heart tightened, and boundless fear welled up within him.

Even the Great Enshriner feared the one on Hidden Sword Peak.

Yet the one on Hidden Sword Peak had always kept to himself and never interfered with Spirit Hall.

Why had he suddenly come to their Pope's Palace?

Ju Douluo and Gui Douluo exchanged glances.

Although they were filled with apprehension toward Ling Feng, Ju Douluo and Gui Douluo still firmly blocked his path.

Ling Feng gave Ju Douluo and Gui Douluo an indifferent glance.

Time waited for no one, and he could not be bothered to explain himself to them.

A sharp Sword Qi shot from his eyes and hurtled toward them.

Ju Douluo and Gui Douluo's faces changed drastically at the sight.

Not daring to delay for even a moment, they hurriedly circulated their Soul Power.

They condensed Soul Power defenses to block the incoming Sword Qi.

After hastily neutralizing Ling Feng's Sword Qi, Gui Douluo and Ju Douluo understood just how terrifying he was.

They dared not let down their guard in the slightest.

The two simultaneously summoned their Martial Souls and activated their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Two Poles Stillness Domain!"

Ju Douluo and Gui Douluo let out a great roar.

Together, they unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, forcibly freezing time in this area.

"Whoosh!"

"I advise you to behave yourselves!"

Just as Ju Douluo and Gui Douluo were about to activate their Martial Soul Fusion Skill—the Two Poles Stillness Domain—

In the next instant, swords abruptly rested against their necks.

The blades gleamed with a chilling light, striking fear into the heart and freezing the soul.

Ling Feng held a sword in each hand, pressing them simultaneously against Ju Douluo and Gui Douluo's necks.

His eyes remained placid as he spoke to them in an indifferent voice.

So fast!

With crystalline swords at their necks, Ju Douluo and Gui Douluo were struck by the same horrified thought.

Cold sweat streamed down their cheeks.

If these swords advanced even an inch further—

They would bleed on the spot, their heads falling to the ground!

With the swords at their necks threatening their lives, Ju Douluo and Gui Douluo did not dare move.

Their Martial Soul Fusion Skill—the Two Poles Stillness Domain—was also forcibly interrupted.

Ling Feng had come to serve as Qian Renxue's Dao Protector, not to slaughter people in Spirit Hall.

Gui Douluo and Ju Douluo were both among Spirit Hall's strongest forces. Naturally, Ling Feng had no intention of truly taking their lives.

Ling Feng sheathed his swords, passed the two of them, and entered the Pope's Palace directly.

Ju Douluo and Gui Douluo understood the gap between them.

If Ling Feng had truly wanted to kill them, they would already be dead.

After giving it some thought, Ju Douluo and Gui Douluo knew they were no match for Ling Feng.

No one in the entire Pope's Palace was his opponent.

The two left the Pope's Palace together and headed to the Enshriner Hall to seek out the Great Enshriner.

In all of Spirit City, only the Great Enshriner could possibly fight Ling Feng to a draw.

Inside the Pope's Palace, following the system's instructions, Ling Feng arrived without incident at the hall where little Qian Renxue was staying.

He saw little Qian Renxue holding a wooden sword and practicing alone in the great hall.

Though so young, her expression was serious and her gaze resolute.

Beauty lay in her bones. At such a young age, she was already poised and graceful, and every movement of her sword practice revealed her earnestness.

The Sword Styles Qian Renxue practiced were all basic ones.

Chop, sweep, lift, parry, push, thrust, hack!

After finishing a full set of Sword Styles, fragrant sweat beaded across Qian Renxue's forehead.

She set the wooden sword aside and used her pristine white sleeve to wipe the sweat from her brow.

After wiping her forehead dry,

she picked up the wooden sword again and resumed practicing.

She practiced the Sword Styles with complete focus, never noticing that someone else had entered the hall.

Seeing how seriously Qian Renxue practiced the sword, Ling Feng saw a reflection of his former self in her, and his heart was deeply stirred.

So he did not step forward to interrupt her immediately. Instead, he stood aside and watched her practice, silently keeping track of the time.

As the final boss, Qian Renxue's talent was beyond question.

She only practiced the set of sword moves once, yet she had already fully grasped them.

She even drew inferences from them and developed two different sword moves based on those basic Sword Styles.

"Clap, clap, clap!"

Ling Feng applauded approvingly and walked forward.

Hearing the sound suddenly, Qian Renxue halted mid-movement.

She instantly became alert.

Her wary eyes fixed on Ling Feng, who was clapping his hands.

She gripped the wooden sword tightly with both hands and pointed it at Ling Feng.

She assumed a fighting stance toward Ling Feng as he approached her.

"Who are you?"

With the wooden sword pointed at him, Qian Renxue was like a cat with its fur bristling, staring at him vigilantly as she questioned him.

"Ling Feng," Ling Feng answered Qian Renxue's question impassively.

"Stop right there!"

"Don't come any closer. If you do, I'll attack you!"

Seeing Ling Feng walk toward her, Qian Renxue instinctively sensed danger and gripped the wooden sword in her hands even tighter.

Ling Feng ignored her warning and slowly walked up to her.

Seeing that Ling Feng still ignored her threat, Qian Renxue did not hold back.

She raised the wooden sword high with both hands and slashed down at him heavily.

Faced with Qian Renxue's attack, Ling Feng remained calm throughout.

He merely extended two fingers—his index and middle fingers—and easily caught the wooden sword as it came down.

"That's not how you use a sword. Your strength and speed are both far too lacking!"

"Watch carefully. This is how a sword is used!"

As he spoke, Ling Feng took the wooden sword from Qian Renxue's hands and demonstrated how a sword should be wielded.

With a swish, the wooden sword was in Ling Feng's hand.

Then, Ling Feng held the wooden sword and lightly swung it once.

The wooden sword sliced through the air, splitting it apart.

As the wooden sword swept through the air at high speed, energy gathered along its blade.

"Whoosh!"

A crisp ignition sound rang out, and the wooden sword in Ling Feng's hand burst into flames, transforming directly into a flaming sword.

Ling Feng gave another light swing, dispersing the flames on the sword.

Then Ling Feng turned to look at Qian Renxue and said, "That's how a sword is used. Did you see clearly?"

Little Qian Renxue looked completely bewildered.

She could not see anything profound or mysterious in the sword strike Ling Feng had just made.

If setting the wooden sword on fire was supposed to be the mysterious part, she could do that too.

As long as she poured Angel Spirit Power associated with flames into the wooden sword, it could be set ablaze in moments.

Thus, Qian Renxue snorted disdainfully and said, "I saw clearly!"

"The wooden sword caught fire, and then the fire went out!"

Qian Renxue spoke each word seriously and distinctly, her expression stern and exceptionally earnest.

Ling Feng: "???"

Hearing that, the wooden sword in Ling Feng's hand nearly burst into flames again.
