The two newcomers descended from the sky, undoubtedly Grandmaster Martial Artists from the Inner Domain.
“Master, I am going to the capital to meet the Martial Artists from the Inner Domain!”
Xu Yan’s face was filled with excitement.
“Inner Domain Grandmasters, are you confident?”
Li Xuan pondered for a moment before asking.
Xu Yan has already perfected his blood level, and his Sword Dao insight is clear. His power has improved significantly compared to the past.
However, if the two opponents collaborate, Xu Yan might be unable to keep up.
Furthermore, even among Grandmasters, there are varying degrees of strength.
“Master, rest assured, 1 understand Sword Dao and have already broken through the second level of the Descending Dragon Palm. Grandmasters from the Inner Domain should not be feared. Even if they collaborate, 1 am not afraid!”
Xu Yan confidently asserted.
If you have confidence, then go.”
Li Xuan nodded his approval.
“Do you need me to accompany you?”
After a brief moment of thought, Li Xuan asked once more.
“Master, please stay in Yunshan County to guide my fellow disciples. 1 am more than enough on my own. They came because of Xu Wuxin, and they didn’t give my grandfather’s family a hard time, so they may not have any ill intentions.
“I can take this opportunity to refine my Sword Dao through them. Perhaps 1 can comprehend Sword Intent through this.”
Xu Yan thought for a moment before shaking his head.
“If you have such confidence, then go.”
Li Xuan nodded.
“Yes, Master!”
Excited, Xu Yan immediately set off on his journey.
“Inner Domain Grandmasters, and there’s two of them, are they here to hunt Xu Wuxin? From the communication I received from Guo Rongshan, they seem to harbor ill intentions, but they haven’t hassled the Guo Family.
“Also, they do not display arrogant or domineering attitudes.
“They are not sadistic individuals, Xu Yan should be fine on this venture. Moreover, with Xu Yan’s current strength, he won’t lose to a Grandmaster.”
Li Xuan pondered in his heart.
“My precious disciple can’t encounter any mishap, 1 should go and take a look.”
Ultimately, Li Xuan couldn’t rest easy.
“Disciple, the key in the Fist of the Wind Thunder King Kong lies in the momentum of wind and thunder. You should meditate and comprehend it more, 1 need to take a trip.”
After Meng Chong returned, Li Xuan instructed him before soaring into the sky, heading toward the capital of Qi Country.
The capital of Qi Country, Guo Family’s residence.
“Dad, are those two experts here for Yan’er?”
Guo Yunkai asked with worry.
“This matter is beyond our control, let’s see how Yan’er handles it.”
Guo Rongshan sighed helplessly.
Ever since the experts descended on the capital, all the officials had become excited, eager to show their loyalty to Emperor Qi.
Just to see the expert once.
The Qi King’s palace was deserted in the blink of an eye. In the eyes of the officials, the palace was doomed.
One by one, they distanced themselves, as if the Qi King’s palace was the plague and they were afraid to catch it.
Emperor Qi had no interest in dealing with the officials. He visited the expert morning, noon and night, bringing all kinds of precious medicines and rare treasures, sending them to the expert’s residence.
Although the expert didn’t accept them, Emperor Qi didn’t take them back either.
Eating from someone shortens one’s hand. He was the monarch of a country, showing such respect and enormous amount of treasures, the expert should show some consideration, right?
Emperor Qi was quite pleased with himself, just waiting for an opportune time to inquire about the Martial Arts technique.
Maybe even get the expert to accept a disciple.
The crown prince was also serving the expert diligently each day, hoping to be accepted by the expert as a disciple and learn the powerful Martial Arts technique.
“Where’s the person? Is he hiding?”
Xie Lingfeng was getting impatient.
“Rest assured, he is already on his way to the capital.”
The crown prince reassured him, his face full of flattery.
On this day, a shadow dashed toward the royal palace.
“Emperor Qi, 1, Xu Yan, have arrived. Where is this so-called expert?”
Xu Yan had arrived!
Just like the last time, he outrageously flew in.
His aura oppressed all sides, exuding incomparable dominance.
“What is this?”
The faces of Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan changed.
A Martial Artist!
Where did this Martial Artist come from?
In a flash, both disappeared from their original location, and in the blink of an eye, they were in front of Xu Yan.
Xu Yan’s eyes narrowed, indeed it was the Grandmaster Martial Artist.
His gaze landed on Xie Lingfeng. His instincts told him that this person was the strongest amongst them, giving off an aura of extreme sharpness.
There was a long sword hanging from his waist.
A Sword Dao Martial Artist!
His eyes brightened instantly. Standing on top of the palace, he rubbed his palms together, filled with anticipation to challenge the Sword Dao Martial Artist from the Inner Domain.
This Martial Artist from the inner domain wasn’t much older, probably twenty or so, only about ten years older than himself, right?
But his strength was even stronger than Xu Wuxin’s!
“Is it you people who are looking for me?”
Xu Yan asked enthusiastically.
Xie Lingfeng’s eyebrows knitted tightly together. The young man in front of him seemed a bit off.
He appeared to be a Martial Artist!
But his aura differed from a typical Martial Artist; his vital energy was extremely exuberant.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: “You are not Xu Wuxin. Where is
Xu Wuxin?”
Indeed, they had come looking for Xue Wuxin.
“Xue Wuxin is already dead!”
Xu Yan did not hide the truth.
“Dead?”
Xie Lingfeng was taken aback. Even a grandmaster martial artist had died in the border wilderness?
“Who killed him?”
He didn’t believe that the young man in front of him could have killed Xue Wuxin.
“My master did!”
“Who is your master?”
“There’s no need for you to know that. Since you’re here looking for me, let’s get started. I’ve been wanting to see the full strength of an Inner Domain grandmaster for myself!”
Xu Yan’s vitality exploded, his body reverberating with a resounding boom.
A red dragon wrapped around him.
Xie Lingfeng was greatly surprised. He asked in a deep voice, “Who are you? Did you come from the Inner Domain?”
Xu Yan stood boldly, saying, “What do you mean ‘from the Inner Domain’? I am Xu Yan, a citizen of the Eastern River County of Qi Country, I am a man of the border wilderness!”
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
Xie Lingfeng’s face was full of disbelief.
“The border wilderness could never produce a martial artist!”
Xu Yan scoffed, “Then what would you consider me, if not a martial?”
“This…”
Xie Lingfeng was stunned.
Indeed, standing right before him was a martial artist from the border wilderness.
Hu Shan was also taken aback. He tried to sense the Heavenly Earth Lingji, but he found nothing.
This showed that the border wilderness still lacked the Heavenly Earth Lingji!
“Stop dawdling, let’s fight!”
Xu Yan, visibly impatient, pointed at Xie Lingfeng as he spoke.
“Alright!”
Xie Lingfeng took a deep breath and nodded.
“Let’s go outside the city!
Xu Yan started to move and darted towards the city outskirts.
Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan exchanged glances, both seeing disbelief in the other’s eyes.
They took to the air and flew towards the city outskirts.
The capital was stirring.
There was a grand battle between martial artists! People rushed out of the city to watch, but they couldn’t see anyone.
Near Qi King’s capital, a dozen miles away.
Xie Lingfeng flew through the air, sword in hand. His air was sharp and powerful, making him seem like a sword himself. His aura locked onto Xu Yan from afar.
Xu Yan was excited, his blood boiling and body trembling.
“I am Xie Lingfeng, the Sword Grandmaster from the Cliff!”
Xie Lingfeng introduced himself.
“From Eastern River County, Xu Yan!”
Xu Yan returned the greeting.
Feeling Xie Lingfeng’s sharp aura, he became increasingly excited. He had just entered the world of Sword Dao, and his heart was clear, but he had yet to comprehend Sword Intent.
Maybe this was an opportunity!
To fight with a martial artist from the Inner Domain, and understand the highs and lows of the Sword Dao!
“Brother Xu!”
Xie Lingfeng inquired curiously: “May I know, what level are you at?”
He was unsure about Xu Yan’s level.
It was clearly not grandmaster level, but it did not seem like the first-grade level either.
How could a first-grade martial artist have such a powerful aura?
What surprised him more was the red dragon coiling around Xu Yan. Its overwhelming presence shocked him. He had never seen such a cultivation technique in the Inner Domain.
“I’ve just entered the world of Martial Arts, I’m at the stage where I have mastered control over my vitality and blood!”
Xu Yan replied straightforwardly.
“Vitality and Blood stage?”
Xie Lingfeng was puzzled.
What kind of stage was this? Why had he never heard of it?
Turning his head to look at Hu Shan behind him, he found the same baffled expression on Hu Shan’s face.
Moreover, just entering the world of Martial Arts?
“Brother Xu, what is the ‘Vitality and Blood’ stage? The first step to enter the world of martial arts is reaching the ‘Ninth Grade’…”
Xu Yan said impatiently: “Less talk, let’s fight first!”
“Alright!”
Xie Lingfeng’s eyes turned cold. Holding out his longsword, he said, “Brother
Xu, please make your move!”
“Then, 1 won’t be courteous!”
Xu Yan took a step forward, swinging his palm out.
With a loud boom!
The power of his Descending Dragon Palm coalesced into a giant dragon, charging forward with dreadful momentum.
Xie Lingfeng stabbed out with his sword. The Sword Qi at the sword’s tip looked like a flash of lightning, directly hitting the dragon’s head. With a crackling sound, it split the dragon-shaped palm force in two.
Xu Yan’s gaze sharpened. Xie Lingfeng was stronger than Xue Wuxin, and by more than just a little.
He took a deep breath, with the Descending Dragon Palm Technique, he hurled eighteen gigantic dragons towards Xie Lingfeng.
With a loud rumble!
Xie Lingfeng was shocked. What kind of palm technique was this?
He spun his longsword, creating layers of Sword Qi that enveloped him, blocking the attack. Then, with a swift movement, he hovered in the air. His sword flashed, and like lightning during a thunderstorm, a sharp Sword Qi shot towards Xu Yan’s throat.
Xu Yan’s eyes narrowed. In that instant, he saw the weak spot in Xie Lingfeng’s sword strike. But the attack was too fast, and he didn’t have time to aim for it. He quickly used his movement technique and dodged to the side.
Xie Lingfeng was surprised again.. What kind of movement technique was that, which could reposition oneself instantly!
