Chapter 485: Chapter 484: Entering the Heavenly Sword (Part 1)
In the Shuntian Capital, the place with the highest level of martial arts without a doubt is Xuanwu State. And in Xuanwu State, if you ask who among the young swordsmen under thirty years old is number one.
Nine out of ten people in the Martial World would say Li Zifeng.
The remaining one is either deaf or doesn’t care about the affairs of the Martial World.
Making his debut at sixteen, in eleven years until now, he has never experienced defeat among his peers. Moreover, none of the people who had duels with Li Zifeng are mediocre. They are all long-famed experts in the Martial World.
There was someone who did a count. Just from the known duels, it only takes Li Zifeng an average of nine moves to beat his opponent. This count includes the times when he just made his debut and his strength wasn’t that strong, otherwise, it would be even less!
What a shocking number this is.
It signifies that in the same level, no matter who it is, they are completely destroyed by Li Zifeng without any room for resistance.
To this day, no outsider knows to what extent Li Zifeng’s strength has reached, but judging from the Sword Qi he just displayed, it is ten times more terrifying than people imagine.
In a clean garment with a maple leaf embroidered on his chest, Li Zifeng’s face is as sharp as his sword. Even his eyebrows stand upright clearly, as if they would transform into a sword and stab at his opponent at any time.
Just being swept by his gaze, people feel as if they are facing a peerless Divine Sword, not daring to breathe heavily.
"Good, so sharp!"
"Why do I feel like someone is gripping my heart, keeping it from rising or falling?"
"Li Zifeng, truly worthy of being recognized as the number one talent among swordsmen in Shuntian Capital, just by his aura alone, who can compete with him?"
All the elites inside the Immortal Gorge, the renowned figures in the Martial World, are all captivated by Li Zifeng’s sword momentum.
Countless people in the Martial World inside the fifty Guanxian Towers far away, although they cannot feel the sword momentum, the name Li Zifeng is like a sword in itself, causing everyone to tremble and pay attention subconsciously.
"In recent years, Li Zifeng rarely draws his sword. Among his peers, anyone who can withstand his three moves would be enough to make a name for himself in the Martial World. I wonder how this fight will go."
Someone spoke nervously, thinking that perhaps they might get to see Li Zifeng draw his sword, his heartbeat couldn’t help racing fast.
"Sister."
Ai Wenhong, who has always been laid-back, is now intently staring at his sister Ai Wenqian’s back.
From an emotional standpoint, of course, he hopes that his sister will win.
However, Li Zifeng’s aura is too strong, a kind of strong that has formed a psychological suggestion - this person is difficult to defeat!
"These are the top three talented individuals?"
Ai Wenhong truly realizes for the first time that the rumors in the Martial World are not always exaggerated.
"Indeed, his Sword Realm has almost caught up with me."
While everyone else is astonished by Li Zifeng’s realm, only Shi Xiaole is feeling a sense of regret for not having arrived at Linjiang’s Immortal Gathering earlier.
To a genius, especially a truly powerful genius, the significance of an opponent is almost as important as martial arts. Without the stimulation of an equal opponent, even the most tensed person will slow down their pace.
This is just like an ordinary person, who would run faster when chased by a tiger than at any other time. Because if you slow down a bit, you are headed for a dead end.
No genius wants to be left behind. They either falter and sink, or they step up further.
This is the beauty of competition.
Feeling the subtle Sword Qi emanating from Li Zifeng, Shi Xiaole finds joy in it, and even his stagnant Sword Realm seems to have a slight improvement.
"Take out your sword."
Standing straight on the Glazed Fairy Platform, Li Zifeng took step by step toward the cold-faced Ai Wenqian.
When the two were five feet apart, their momentum reached a peak as though countless sharp swords are ringing simultaneously, causing waves as high as the heavens. As soon as the wind on the river approached, it instantly made a tearing sound, as if it was cut in half.
If it were any other swordsman in the field now, they probably wouldn’t even have the courage to draw their swords.
Ai Wenqian also did not draw her sword.
It wasn’t that she was afraid, but she knew that once she did, it would indirectly admit that she was subdued by the opponent’s momentum, and she would fall into a disadvantage right from the start.
Hisss hisss hisss.
The atmosphere became more and more oppressive. The area between the two suddenly became distorted. Once in a while, a hint of Sword Qi would overflow, grazed the surface of the Glazed Fairy Platform, and surprisingly left a shallow mark.
You must know that even an ordinary martial artist of the high-order Dragon Gate Realm could not damage the Glazed Fairy Platform, at most leaving a touch from the surface.
Making a shallow mark on the surface indicates that the Sword Qi generated by the collision of the two is infinitely close to the attack power of an ordinary martial artist of the high-order Dragon Gate Realm.
"No way, are they still at the fourth level of the Dragon Gate Realm?"
The crowd went from being shocked to being stunned, and then horrified.
Many people were secretly surprised that Ai Wenqian could step on an equal footing with Li Zifeng, at least not at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.
"You, well done."
Li Zifeng nodded and took another step.
"Water and Sky Meld As One!"
Ai Wenqian finally drew her sword. Not because Li Zifeng had a flaw, but because if she didn’t draw her sword, she would be controlled by her opponent. This move is a gamble for both parties.
Whizz!
Tilting his head, Li Zifeng dodged the Water Color Sword Light of Ai Wenqian. He let the Water Color Sword Light spread out, casually walking through it as his figure continued to fade in and out.
That was his afterimage left in place.
Liang Shuhao clenched his fist.
Li Zifeng’s swordsmanship is enough to make one despair. The opponent’s body techniques also top the young generation in Xuanwu State. This is the style of a top talent, there is no so-called strong point, because every aspect is better than others.
Before the Water Color Sword light dissipated, the white-clad Ai Wenqian suddenly appeared in front of an afterimage. Her long sword swung out horizontally, waves upon waves of Sword Qi seemed endless, continuously killing forward.
The afterimage solidified. Li Zifeng’s landing point had actually been grasped.
Before everyone could exclaim, an indescribable, whiter than snow, cold light viciously struck out. Just like a lone wolf in a world of ice and snow, lonely yet bloodthirsty, carrying an invincible belief in killing everything.
This was Li Zifeng’s sword.
Clang!
The swords collided, creating a brief and faint sound.
In the next moment, Ai Wenqian withdraws continuously, like a falling leaf.
Li Zifeng pressed step by step, the long sword swept up and down twice, the completely opposing Sword Qi left and right, seemed to be able to lock the void, even with Ai Wenqian’s Water Color Body Technique, it was impossible to properly evade.
This is the power that is infinitely close to the Heavenly Sword. Even a common maneuver can have an unexpected effect.
"Water Sky Junction."
Sword light about to fall, a circle of water ripple fluctuations, suddenly exploded from Ai Wenqian’s body.
Every time the water ripples spread, Li Zifeng’s Sword light weakens a bit, by the time it comes within three feet of Ai Wenqian, its killing power is reduced to a tenth and is gently shattered by her.
"Is this, 30% Water True Intent?!"
Many people cried out.
Tier one True Intents, for every 10% improvement, the difficulty of understanding would double. So far, this is the first time someone has displayed 30% of the Tier One True Intent, suppressing all others.
"Falling Maple Leaves."
Li Zifeng, his eyes like two dry wells, was immovable. As he drew his sword, his Sword Qi formed three lifelike red maple leaves and floated towards Ai Wenqian in the distance.
Time seemed to slow down a lot, no, it was clearly that the speed of the maple leaves was too fast, causing an error in people’s eyesight, as if time had slowed down.
A layer of water moisture surrounded in front of Ai Wenqian. As soon as the three maple leaves approached, they were immediately engulfed by the water vapor.
Shi Xiaole could see that the sticky water moisture was made up of countless tiny Sword Qi. Each breath was cutting the maple leaves. If it were changed to the champion who came out earlier, let alone breaking this move, they couldn’t even withstand it.
Whirring.
Three maple leaves turned into fly ash, just as people thought, Li Zifeng’s attack had failed, the fly ash actually pierced the water moisture and charged at Ai Wenqian in a chaotic and disordered state.
"Li Zifeng’s True Intent is the rare Fall True Intent in the world. The more it is suppressed by people, the stronger the power."
Yu Wen Cang thought to himself.
All things will fall. Isn’t falling exactly what happens during decay?
Clang...
In a continuous crunching sound, Ai Wenqian’s longsword swung at an unprecedented speed. The feet and arms were completely disjointed, the rhythm was fast and slow, as if it happened to two people. Maple leaves dust was either blocked by her or dodged by her, none of them hit their mark.
"What’s happening?"
Many people rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
"It’s unthinkable, her feet are performing the Water Color Body Technique, her arms the Water Sky Sword Technique. This girl has the ability to multitask!"
The people on the ship where Fang Wanwan was located, a group of accomplished martial artists from the Martial world, had bright eyes.
Multitasking, although rare, there are so many people in Xuanwu State, and the accomplished martial artists present have seen several. But no one could do like Ai Wenqian, separating Body Techniques and Sword Techniques so clearly without any influence.
If multitasking was divided into several levels, this girl would definitely be on top ranking, possessing the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart!
"Maple Leaves All Over the Sky."
Ignoring all of these, Li Zifeng’s figure and sword merged into one. With one sword, the three maple leaves turned into countless pieces. The individual power is reduced, but the quantity is larger, unavoidable.
In the air, the sound of water vapor evaporation came out, and Ai Wenqian’s move was disrupted.
Getting infinitely close to the Sword Realm, expanding spiritual power. Li Zifeng could easily sense Ai Wenqian’s flaws, but he disdained to suppress the enemy with Sword Realm, so he used the Maple Leaf Sword technique to counter technique with technique.
A truly proud swordsman has no so-called strengths or weaknesses. They want to defeat you in the field you are best at!
Retreating more than ten steps violently, Ai Wenqian’s cold expression melted, replaced by excitement and heat. From her birth to now, this is the first time a peer has pushed her back, how could she not be happy?
Only by defeating such a strong enemy can she achieve her Supreme Sword Realm.
"Water and Sky Reflecting Light!"
Facing the sky full of maple leaves, Ai Wenqian’s sword in her hand turned into a bright and autumnal arc of water. The autumn water was only three inches in length, and with a hiss, a path was immediately cleared through the maple leaves.
Clang!
Li Zifeng quickly alters his move and use the body of his sword to block in front of him. The rebound Sword Qi hits the Linjiang river surface, causing a large amount of water area to emit white light, then it explodes, dispersed in an area of hundreds of meters.
"This woman’s Sword Realm, also infinitely close to the Heavenly Sword, and also in the third stage."
Yu Wen Cang’s hand holding the cup tightened.
