This slash had drawn upon the entirety of Leng Fu’s cultivation.
He intended to perish together with his enemy!
Xu Yan scoffed and swung his sword. Imagery of mountains and rivers surfaced and blanketed his sword.
In the midst of these mountains and rivers, a gentle breeze began to blow, sweeping over the icy blade. Leng Fu’s consciousness was completely eradicated with this breeze.
Even so, the power of that slash showed no signs of disappearing.
It was as if it intended to pierce through the mountains and rivers, to continue with its deadly pursuit.
Buzz!
The Sword Wheel of Life and Death rotated, grinding against the long knife. The power in one blow from the knife was completely dissolved, causing the blade itself to shatter and fall down.
From then on, no invaders remained, all were eliminated!
Xu Yan reached out and grabbed the white-robed blue-faced man from the River Cang who was a corpse, and another body that had been brought up with him. Immediately, he returned to Canglan Island.
He tossed the bodies onto the ground.
The gentle breeze that graced Xu Yan’s figure was his newly comprehended Sword Intent.
“This Sword Intent shall be called the ‘Sudden Wind Sword Intent’!” Xu Yan thought with excitement.
Li Xuan also wore a smile. The benefits this battle brought were indeed commendable; they allowed Xu Yan to comprehend Sword Intent in advance – a Sword Intent that targeted spiritual consciousness directly.
“Your disciple, Xu Yan, has comprehended the Sudden Wind Sword Intent, your Sudden Wind Sword Intent has thus reached great accomplishment,” relayed the Golden Finger the moment Xu Yan comprehended his Sword Intent.
The Sudden Wind Sword Intent was comprehended through the ‘Sun’ Diagram from The Eight Diagrams.
This battle came suddenly and ended abruptly without provoking attention from anyone.
At this moment, night began to fall.
The lights of Canglan Island shone brilliantly.
Red Cat had resumed its slumber, and Xie Lingfeng and the other few warriors couldn’t help but feel their blood boiling with excitement. They focused all their efforts into their cultivation.
The power of reaching the realm of Mystic Oneness was truly unmatched.
Xu Yan continued to perceive the Sudden Wind Sword Intent, pondering over the gains from this battle.
Su Lingxiu invested all her thoughts into the Martial Arts. She desired to grow more powerful, to face any danger alone without relying on her master and apprentice brother for protection.
Zhou Ying was similarly stimulated.
At this moment, she was ready to break through to the Innate Realm.
Similarly, Shi’er was stirred, and began to prepare for his breakthrough into the Innate Realm.
On Canglan Island, everyone immersed themselves in cultivation. Mother Xu, who had never been diligent in her martial arts training, also made a rare effort.
Li Xuan remained relaxed and unfazed. As for the trouble brought on by Su Lingxiu, he didn’t put it to heart.
He simply decided to slay however many came his way.
As for any secrets that lurked behind all this, he was uninterested.
This battle on Canglan Island seemed to have failed to cause any ripples in the world of martial arts; it appears unnoticed.
The disappearance of four demi-Tian people and dozens of peak Grandmasters seemed to have caused no waves.
Only those who knew the ins and outs of it could understand the true power of Canglan Island.
In the royal palace of Da Yue, within the imperial study.
The Emperor of Da Yue sat in silence, as if awaiting some news.
“Your Majesty.”
A palace attendant stepped forward.
“What of the Chang Qing Pavilion?” The Emperor of Da Yue asked in a deep voice, his spirits lifting slightly.
The Tianyi Guards, the Tianyu Guards and the Divine Halberd Army of Da Yue had all been mobilised and were ready to strike. Once they received news of Canglan Island’s annihilation, he would immediately order them to march on Dahua to eliminate it.
“There have been no missives from either the two attendants or the old prince.” The palace attendant replied with a bowing head.
The Emperor of Da Yue sank into his chair, his face instantly becoming dismayed. He remained silent for a long while.
The absence of any news spoke volumes of the outcome.
The strong warriors who were dispatched this time for the purpose of annihilating Da Yue were many, much more a formidable force than the first invasion, especially with the presence of four demi-Tian powerhouses!
Amongst them, one was the cornerstone of Da Yue, the old prince.
After a long while, the Emperor of Da Yue waved his hand, asking the attendant to leave. He also quietly ordered the return of the elite troops at the ready for the extermination of Dahua. He couldn’t afford to leak any information.
If this assault had anything to do with Da Yue, it would certainly invite revenge from Chang Qing Pavilion.
The Emperor of Da Yue looked despondent. What he needed to deal with next was properly maintaining the stability of Da Yue, figuring out a way to ease relationships with Dahua. To that end, he hardened his heart, found an excuse to establish a commercial avenue with Dahua, and yielded the entire Yunfeng county to Dahua.
From then on, the counties of Lanping and Yunfeng were both ceded to Dahua.
Other than Da Yue, the forces involved in the mission also assumed a low profile.
Everyone scrambled to contract their sphere of influence.
The climate in the internal region of the martial arts world, unbeknownst to all, had already begun to change.
In the Yan Kingdom, within the royal palace.
Emperor Yan looked calm as he gazed at the elderly eunuch below, asking, “The royal uncle is truly gone?”
“Replying to your Majesty, there were no survivors!” The old eunuch nodded.
“Announce that the royal uncle is in retreat and is unwilling to participate in political affairs. From today forward, the Black Mystery Guards will only take orders from me. Pass down my decree…”
There wasn’t the slightest hint of sorrow in Emperor Yan’s eyes, rather there seemed to be a sense of relief. Although the royal family has lost a genuine cornerstone, he could now truly become the Emperor of Yan Kingdom!
The political landscape of Yan Kingdom changed overnight. Emperor Yan now had complete control over power.
In a small mountain village, the Demon Child was whittling a piece of wood. A figure slowly approached him.
Clad in a red robe, a blue mask was worn on his face.
The Demon Child paused his wood carving, looking up towards the newcomer.
Surprised, he asked, “Are they all dead?”
If the white-robed figure had not been killed, the one arriving would have been him, rather than the one in the red robe.
The red-robed, masked man replied in a calm voice, “They failed.”
“How many?” The Demon Child’s expression grew serious.
“The white-robed, Leng Fu and two others – one from the Da Yue Country and one from Yan Kingdom, along with dozens of peak Grandmasters,” the man in the red robe replied sternly.
“A heavenly person in the martial arts?” The Demon Child had difficulty spitting out these four words.
Who else other than a true Heavenly Person in the Martial Arts could take down so many powerhouses?
