Sword Aura to the Heavens

Chapter 480: Chapter 475: Semi-Saint

There was a moment of silence in the Qiyun Mountain Range, then Lingxiao Zhenren looked at Xuanyuan Sword and said: "Xuanyuan, you are ranked first on the Sword Saint List, hailed as the number one sword cultivator in the world, some even think you are the world’s best."

"But you should know very well that in this world, you are far from reaching the point of looking down upon everyone, even below a Saint, there are still a few who can match you."

"I have never considered myself the world’s best."

Xuanyuan Sword’s tone was calm, the world’s best?

The people did not know, how could he not know, without entering the Saint realm, how dare he claim to be the world’s best.

"But..." Xuanyuan Sword’s tone changed, and he continued: "Without the appearance of a Saint, who can match me?"

Who can match him.

Below a Saint, he is the world’s best.

The countless cultivators in the Qiyun Mountain Range could feel the aura of arrogance towards the world emanating from Xuanyuan Sword’s calm words.

He did not dare to claim to be the best in the world, but his sword was invincible.

Lingxiao Zhenren looked into the eyes of Xuanyuan Sword, seeing them as a sharp sword piercing the sky, once unsheathed, it would shake the heavens.

"So, you are determined to intervene in today’s matter?" Lingxiao Zhenren asked.

"I do what I promised." Xuanyuan Sword repeated.

"Very well." Lingxiao Zhenren smiled and glanced around, saying: "Today, the strongest sword cultivators in the Great Li World are here, who can take two strikes from Xuanyuan Sword?"

Since it was a promised matter, Xuanyuan Sword owed Li Fan two strikes.

The sword cultivators of the Capital would certainly not be able to surpass Xuanyuan Sword, but taking two strikes should be enough.

Just as well, he also wanted to see how strong the world’s number one Xuanyuan Sword truly was.

"I have long heard of the name Xuanyuan Sword, today, I am fortunate enough to desire to take one strike."

A voice came from the distant sky, and people looked up to see sword aura splitting the clouds, like a stream of light across the long sky, looking into the distance, they saw a person stepping on sword clouds approaching.

Although the sword intent was shocking, it lacked sharpness, as if it had returned to simplicity, this person looked only about thirty years old, with extraordinary handsome features, giving an otherworldly impression.

"Ye Guyun."

The people of the Capital looked up at the newcomer, Ye Guyun, who had not appeared for many years, was now present.

Li Fan inquired about the Capital, which should have been a grand occasion for the younger generation, but now, it had become a grand scene for Da Li Swordsmanship.

Ye Guyun, a member of the Da Li Royal Family, ranked third in the world of swordsmanship.

"Ye Guyun has also come."

The Taibai Sword of White Jade Academy looked toward that figure, Ye Guyun surely did not look as young as he seemed.

Li Fan also looked at the appearing person, he certainly had heard of Ye Guyun’s name, he was in the same era as the Old Blind Man, it was said that he had once been defeated by the Old Blind Man in one move.

Years later, Ye Guyun still appeared so stunning, while the once world-renowned Canglan Blade had become a blind man.

Moreover, Ye Guyun’s surname is Ye, a Da Li Royal.

He could be said to be the strongest sword cultivator of the Da Li Royal Family.

Many people also wanted to see how strong the long unseen first sword cultivator of the Da Li Royal Family was now.

"Ye Guyun, Sword Saint List ranking, I am ranked before you, so let me go."

The voice of Taixu Zi came, as the second-ranked sword cultivator in the world, he also wanted to experience the world’s number one sword.

Xuanyuan Sword merely glanced at them indifferently and said: "I am not here to spar words with you."

Saying this he looked at Li Fan.

His promise was to strike for Li Fan.

Therefore, to whom the sword would strike, it was up to Li Fan, not them.

"Senior, a single sword, to what extent can it go?" Li Fan asked.

"To what extent do you want it to go?" Xuanyuan Sword asked.

"To cripple someone, can you, senior?" Li Fan said, causing others to tremble; the person Li Fan referred to was likely either Taixu Zi or Ye Guyun.

Li Fan looked at Xuanyuan Sword, waiting for his answer, his request was somewhat excessive.

Whether it was Taixu Zi or Ye Guyun, they were both connected to the Royal Family, the Lingxiao Pavilion supported by the court, Ye Guyun’s surname is Ye.

To have Xuanyuan Sword cripple one of them was to offend the court.

And here, it was in the Capital.

"One sword, enough." Xuanyuan Sword responded calmly, as if it were indisputable.

Everyone fell silent after hearing the conversation between the two.

One sword, can it cripple a person?

Two swords, can two of the top three Sword Cultivators in the world be crippled?

Has the Xuanyuan Sword really reached such a level, or is he just overly confident, looking down on everything?

"Alright." Li Fan looked at Tai Xuzi and said, "Then let’s see who will draw their sword against me."

"Senior Sister, Qi, let’s go."

Li Fan spoke to Ye Qinghuang and Qi, not seeking slaughter, but to leave this Capital.

Whoever blocks him, will have to withstand the sword of the world’s number one Sword Cultivator.

"Alright." Ye Qinghuang nodded. The group flew through the sky, intending to leave this place.

In the surrounding area of the Qiyun Mountain Range, there were countless Cultivators, and most of the noble families from the Capital were there, yet no one dared to make a move to block them. Even the Taiping Temple and Ten Thousand Buddha Temple merely watched without intervening.

The White-robed Demon’s gaze was fixed on the Xuanyuan Sword. The moment it appeared, he felt an overwhelming sense of oppression, naturally knowing that it was the number one in human Sword Dao.

But then, above the Sky, it seemed like billions of streaks of light flickered, falling like raindrops from the heavenly dome, resembling a radiant Sunshower.

The golden sword light of these words reflected upon all heavens. A figure stood high in the sky, Lingxiao Pavilion Taixu Zi was about to draw his sword. Countless people looked at him, and at this moment, Taixu Zi shone brilliantly, the sword light he emitted was enough to sting one’s eyes.

At this moment, Taixu Zi’s expression was solemn, his entire body shimmering with dazzling sword light. A terrifying phenomenon appeared in the sky, countless rays of light shone down from the void, those sword lights seemed to come from beyond the heavens, a sacred phantom appeared there, as if summoning Divine Swords from all heavens.

"All my life I’ve pursued the utmost Sword Dao, after many years in seclusion, I’ve finally had an epiphany. Today, let me show you, the Heaven-Slaying Sword."

As Taixu Zi’s voice fell, heaven and earth resonated, his voice echoed within hundreds of miles, ten thousand feet of sword light poured down like sunlight, slaying toward the Xuanyuan Sword.

And among the myriad swords of all heavens, the phantom summoned a Divine Sword, its light seemed capable of piercing through all things.

Swords, the king of all weapons, unparalleled in attack, Taixu Zi led the Lingxiao Pavilion, his lifelong pursuit was to comprehend an extremely sharp sword, a sword that could destroy everything.

"Heaven-Slaying Sword."

When everyone looked up, their eyes seemed to go blind, enveloped by a suffocating feeling.

The Xuanyuan Sword raised its head, and at that moment, the myriad swords of all heavens seemed to pause for an instant, as if stopped for a moment.

This instant of halt caused the hearts of countless people to tremble.

"Slay!"

A cold and murderous voice resonated, the Sky shook, the Heavenly Dome Divine Sword fell down, turned into a beam of light, penetrating through the world, as if it could pierce through all things.

Almost at the same time, the Xuanyuan Sword raised a hand and pointed to the sky.

One point was equivalent to one sword, landing on that extreme Dao Sword that pierced through everything. In the next moment, the Sky seemed to suddenly have a terrifying crack appear, spreading from that point, shattering the myriad swords of all heavens.

Taixu Zi’s expression drastically changed, and at this moment, a Sword God phantom appeared in the sky, thrusting a sword at the constantly spreading crack.

But in just an instant, that sword also shattered and collapsed, the force of that point was obstructed for a moment but did not stop advancing, tearing open a rift in this world.

Accompanied by a dull sound, the sword light swung by Taixu Zi was broken, it was as though a force penetrated his body, causing it to tremble violently, and with a "wah" sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

His face turned instantly pale, seemingly aging dramatically, the Sword Bone within him was shattered, and his Sword Dao seemed to have been forcibly interrupted.

"How could this happen?"

Taixu Zi muttered to himself, looking in the direction of the Xuanyuan Sword, his hair in disarray over his shoulders. When the crowd looked at him, he no longer seemed like the ambitious leader of the Lingxiao Pavilion, the world’s second Sword Cultivator, but a pitiful old man.

His eyes were filled with bewilderment and confusion.

Not far from him, Ye Guyun stood there, it was him who drew his sword just now.

If not for his sword, Taixu Zi might already be a dead man.

"This is one sword."

The Xuanyuan Sword spoke, and this statement was evidently directed at Li Fan.

That point just now was a sword, he had returned two swords.

"Surpassing the mundane, the Half-Saint Realm."

Lingxiao Zhenren’s gaze also became exceptionally grave, staring at the Xuanyuan Sword, this legendary world’s number one Sword Cultivator, had reached the Half-Saint Realm.

Therefore, Taixu Zi couldn’t withstand even one of his swords.

There were countless people in the Capital who saw this sword, even with the world’s second and third Sword Cultivators joining forces, they still couldn’t withstand the world’s number one’s sword, Taixu Zi was severely wounded.

Both on the Sword Saint List, yet the first seemed already on a different level from others.

The Xuanyuan Sword, will he become the next Sword Saint of the Da Li Dynasty?
