Chapter 573 Natural Talent In The Way Of The Sword
A big guy grunted when he failed to hurt Li Fengyuan and instead he was the one who was injured.
"Looks like she\'s not only a mere beauty!"
Another man was surprised but didn\'t back down, appearing behind Li Fengyuan instantly and reaching out his arms to grab her, looking like she hadn\'t noticed.
"Brother, it\'s not fair that you\'re the first! Hahaha!"
Another voice was heard as a young man in his 20s laughed lustfully as he saw the man was about to grab Li Fengyuan, almost hugging her. He rushed over to grab Li Fengyuan, he wasn\'t even scared because Li Fengyuan had managed to hurt the first man who approached her.
* Flash! *
The moment they were about to touch Li Fengyuan, her body instantly disappeared; a sound of fear as if faintly heard on the wind a sword being unsheathed pierced into their bodies, realizing something was wrong.
Li Fengyuan moved quickly, feeling as if she was a soft feather in the air before swinging her sword and having that feeling that her body was about to be unsheathed, as if she had a pair of shackles on her being and could step out of this restricted world.
Her hand moved and the sword that seemed to move slowly in the air flashed like lightning, slashing towards the young man first and then towards the man. Blood sprayed out and the sword cut through flesh and even bones.
Li Fengyuan\'s sword cut through the Chi protections of both men, killing them thanks to the severity of the cut.
"What..."
The agonized mutter came from the mouth of one of them, falling on the ground and looking at Li Fengyuan who looked like a heavenly fairy dancing beautifully in the air, their gazes became empty and they died indisposed.
"This girl!"
One of the three remaining people looked at Li Fengyuan with stupefaction, beginning to realize that Li Fengyuan did not seem to be a weak and helpless woman.
"Didn\'t you want to act first? Then I\'ll do it!"
Li Fengyuan looked coldly at these men, speaking coldly and lunging towards them. A solid and deep confidence began to develop within her, with the fear and nervousness gradually disappearing from her. A confident and even slightly superior expression appeared on her, feeling that with a little more she will finally break out of those shackles that restricted her life.
"You think that by killing our companions that luck of yours will become greater?" One of the men yelled furiously and flowed his cultivation essence into his sword, fiercely glaring at Li Fengyuan who had appeared in front of them.
Li Fengyuan paid no heed to the man and attacked again with her sword.
* Boom! *
But the man also reacted quickly and attacked with his sword, throwing his own martial techniques. A stream of fire surrounded his sword and created a blaze of fire wanting to burn everything in its path.
Li Fengyuan was surprised, but did not retreat. Her momentum increased and she delved deeper into that vague feeling she had about the sword, hacking straight through even the entire world.
The mysterious and imperceptible energy surrounding Li Fengyuan\'s sword directly split the man\'s fiery flare, piercing through the sword itself and slicing through the man as well, killing him at once.
"No..." The man muttered faintly before his vision went black.
"You fucking bitch!"
"You\'ll regret it!"
The remaining two men hesitated to continue attacking, but when they saw that Li Fengyuan showed the intention to continue attacking, they put their hesitation aside and proceeded as well.
One of them clenched what appeared to be a dagger in his hands and slashed towards Li Fengyuan. The other mobilized his cultivation essence and formed a giant spear quickly, the fierce Chi gathered and showed that it was a high-level skill.
Li Fengyuan swung her sword again and attacked the man with the dagger, breaking his Chi protection easily. The sword seemed to be an immortal weapon as it easily took the man\'s life.
The spear in front of the last cultivator turned a bright blue color, what seemed to be gusts of wind were created around it and made it more fierce. The space wobbled slightly and showed the great power it contained.
Li Fengyuan looked at this and wanted to use her sword technique she was familiar with: the Heaven Splitting Sword. But she decided not to use it when she curiously felt that with the simple energy she could sense in the sword she could destroy the spear!
* Boom! *
The sword clashed against the spear and space shook, creating small ripples in the air.
Li Fengyuan felt her slender arms go numb, especially in the hands gripping the sword. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead when she failed to destroy the spear in its path.
Although they had been at a stalemate, the spear seemed to have slight advantage as it began to push Li Fengyuan.
Li Fengyuan clenched her teeth tightly as she felt that this spear was very different when it came into contact. A martial skill of this kind of attack seemed simple but it was very powerful.
"If you stop right now, I will let you live and be my woman!" The man shouted fiercely when he saw the advantage he was beginning to have. A lustful and wicked smile formed on his face, that confidence and arrogance returning as he glared endlessly at Li Fengyuan.
"You!" Li Fengyuan showed an even colder expression as she saw the man\'s face, glaring with murderous intent as she realized the obvious thoughts upon seeing his lustful gaze. Her momentum increased and her aura became sharper, wanting to break through that mysterious layer of shackles that bound and restrained her.
* Crack! *
The next moment, a crack formed in the spear and it began to flash as if it was about to disappear!
"This can\'t be!"
The man screamed full of terror as he felt a tremendous momentum as if instead of facing a young woman he was facing a whole great sword that was about to crush him and cut him in two!
* Boom! *
The bright blue spear disappeared and before the man could exclaim, Li Fengyuan\'s sword cut him in half and killed him!
* Crack... *
Before Li Fengyuan could think of anything, an astonishment and stupefaction covered her entire body as she felt the layer of shackles shatter and a great energy gather around her. The cultivation essence seemed to flow faster and stronger in her meridians.
\'Alright, break through calmly. I\'ll guard!\'
Li Fengyuan was about to move to return to Ling Tian when precisely his voice came to her mind calmly. She quickly knew that she had broken through at this moment and the first thing she would do would be to seek Ling Tian\'s protection to break through.
Someone would always have to have a protector to break through, as many problems could occur if there was any kind of interference, from not breaking through completely to dying...
Li Fengyuan nodded at Ling Tian\'s words and sat down cross-legged and began to gather the spirit Chi in her body; waves of spiritual energy began to gather in her chest in a swift and fluid manner. She did not hesitate and concentrated deeply, fully trusting Ling Tian.
Ling Tian arrived calmly at this moment. His gaze had a nod as he watched Li Fengyuan break through. He did not find it strange that she could advance to the Golden Core realm.
Then, Ling Tian did not hesitate and silently released a trace of Sacred Heavenly Scriptures essence energy towards Li Fengyuan, causing her to absorb it to break through completely and obtain a much greater increase in strength compared to just absorbing the surrounding normal Chi. The Sacred Heavenly Scriptures energy is the purest and most powerful essence between Heaven and Earth, so a little bit of it could add a qualitative change to the power of others.
Although this caused the amount of energy to reduce a little in him, Ling Tian didn\'t mind. Li Fengyuan is already his own person and he would take good care of her and guide her very well, the same way he did with Sheng Mei and his disciples in the past.
His base energy was now at the level of the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm, but Ling Tian did not care. The Sacred Heavenly Scriptures automatically operated by absorbing Chi spirit at all times and with a little time would gather more and more power; if they reached the Heaven Territory or a place with abundant Chi spirit, Ling Tian could absorb all that energy completely and increase the base power by one or two realms altogether.
"It\'s fine. She really has the ability to reach the top in the Way of the Sword..."
Ling Tian smiled as he saw Li Fengyuan\'s aura quickly return to normal. Although he could only see a little when he arrived, Ling Tian still easily grasped it from afar and could think that Li Fengyuan could easily break through without the need to cultivate directly.
Li Fengyuan had a natural talent even much better than him when it came to the Way of the Sword.
It was only a matter of time and effort for her to surpass him in the future...
