Chapter 1684: Li Feng Is Still Alive?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As the dazzling golden light appeared, the flying sword beneath Duan Ling Tian’s feet charged out quickly as well.

When the flying sword flew out, Duan Ling Tian’s heart jolted. His mind was filled with the profundity of the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method Sovereign Heart Sword. Naturally, it was only the profundity of the first stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword, the Heartfelt Sword.

Currently, Duan Ling Tian had yet to master the second stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword, the Sword Shadowed Heart.

Even so, a slash of Duan Ling Tian sword at this time was not simple as well. It was equivalent to the offensive technique that had been cultivated to a higher stage in an Earth Rank Prominent Saint Grade Martial Tactic.

However, compared to the s.p.a.ce Shattering Origin Detonation, it was still slightly inferior.

Although it was slightly inferior, since this sword also contained Duan Ling Tian’s powerful brute strength, as a whole, it was not inferior to Xu Can’s s.p.a.ce Shattering Origin Detonation. Moreover, due to the Sun True Origin, the force of this sword was even more powerful than Xu Can’s s.p.a.ce Shattering Origin Detonation.

Naturally, n.o.body was aware of this.

“This Li Feng used his sword in such a haste, and it seems like he hasn’t even mobilized his True Origin yet!” Xu Cen smiled coldly as though victory was within his grasp.

As an Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse, he had his own unique judgment. In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian would not be able to mobilize his True Origin in such a short time, causing him to be unable to unleash his full strength.

It was not only Xu Can, even Ren Zhong, Liu Hong Guang, and the others thought the same.

However, how could they possibly know Duan Ling Tian did not need much time to mobilize his True Origin since he had already opened up 99 Saint Veins in his body.

In the Dao Martial Saint Land, opening up 81 Saint Veins was considered a remarkable feat.

Moreover, in the history of Dao Martial Saint Land, only two people had managed to open up 81 Saint Veins. However, Duan Ling Tian had far surpa.s.sed them.

With the 99 Saint Vein carrying the True Origin, he was more than two times faster than Xu Can.

It was precisely because of this Duan Ling Tian let Xu Can make his move first since he was confident he could mobilize his True Origin in the shortest time possible.

This confidence came from the 99 Saint Veins he opened. Due to this, the speed of Duan Ling Tian consolidating his Territory was much faster compared to ordinary people.

Whoos.h.!.+

The True Origin Ball Xu Can sent out flew across the sky at an extremely fast speed toward Duan Ling Tian. If it touched Duan Ling Tian or his True Origin, it would explode, mercilessly destroying him, his True Origin, and Territory.

Even if Duan Ling Tian tried to evade it, it would still doggedly follow after him since Xu Can was using his Divine Consciousness to target him.

Whoos.h.!.+

The golden flying sword flew in the sky with a speed that was not inferior to the True Origin Ball. In fact, it was even faster than the True Origin Ball. The flying sword’s target was the True Origin Ball.

Although the flying sword possessed an extremely fast speed that even Xu Cen, Ren Zhong, and Liu Hong Guang acknowledged, they did not think the force of the flying sword was comparable to the True Origin Ball.

Besides, even if it touched the True Origin Ball, the True Origin Ball would explode instantly and the shockwave would overpower Duan Ling Tian, catching him in the explosion.

Finally, the flying sword and the True Origin Ball crashed into one another.

In fact, before they collided, the Qi field around them had already collided, causing the air to tremble as though it would rip the s.p.a.ce apart.

When the flying sword and True Origin Ball collided, time seemed to stop at this moment.

Boom!

An ear-deafening explosion that sounded as though the sky had fallen reverberated in the air.

At this second, the eardrums of Martial and Dao Cultivators with low cultivation base ruptured immediately. Some of them even had blood began to flow from their seven orifices.

Even the faces of the Pristine Saint Stage Martial and Dao Cultivators present on the scene were flushed red. It was apparent the explosion had impacted them as well.

When the explosion sounded, the s.p.a.ce near Duan Ling Tian was completely enveloped by a golden light. This golden light began to grow until it completely shrouded Duan Ling Tian, causing his figure to disappear from everyone’s sight.

That seemed like the aftermath of the explosion.

Xu Cen smiled.

In his opinion, the shockwave from the explosion would be enough to kill Duan Ling Tian.

Although an Intermediate Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator had an enhanced body, he was still made of flesh and blood, completely incomparable to those powerful wild beasts and Saint Beasts.

Moreover, judging by the shockwave of the explosion, even the average wild beasts or Saint Beasts with not much brute strength would not be able to survive this.

“Li Feng’s dead?” Many people were shocked by the scene before their eyes.

Many sectless cultivators’ eyes turned red as they clenched their teeth.

Li Feng was a sectless cultivator worthy of their respect. Based on Li Feng’s earlier action, his place in their hearts could be said to be on par with Zhong Gu.

“He’s dead?” The Flowery Monk frowned. His frown eased up before he devoutly put his palms together. He sighed, feeling sorry for Li Feng.

Such an outstanding sectless cultivator had died just like that. It caused many people to sigh.

“Huh?” At this moment, Ren Zhong who also thought Li Feng had died widened his eyes. With a baffled expression, he looked at the shockwave that was spreading out from the point of explosion.

Whoos.h.!.+

The sound of a sword whistling the air sounded before it quickly disappeared. A golden flying sword shot out from the point of explosion. Its speed was as fast as lightning. No, it was faster than lightning!

“NO!” A loud and angry shout sounded in the air.

Xu Can who had a smug expression on his face froze completely. He still a sneer on his face. A hole appeared in between his eyebrows as blood poured out continuously from it. It was terrifying.

In the next moment, he lost his breath and collapsed.

The loud angry howl had come from Xu Cen after he regained his senses when he heard the sound of sword whistling in the air. When he saw Xu Can had fallen, his eyes reddened. It was as though he had lost his mind, he charged out in a frenzy to pick Xu Can up.

However, Xu Can only lay limply in his embrace with his eyes opened. He was no longer breathing. He was dead.

“Can’er… Can’er…” Xu Cen could not believe this, he muttered Xu Can’s name non-stop. However, Xu Can did not reply him at all.

“Xu Can’s dead?” The people present on the scene gasped when they saw this.

“My goodness! After clas.h.i.+ng with Xu Can’s True Origin Ball, Li Feng’s sword actually still had a force of its own… This is unbelievable!” Many people cried out in shock. However, they spoke in hushed tones, afraid of angering Xu Cen.

“I can’t believe this outcome! Who knew both of them would die? I’m sure the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion is regretting this now.” Some of them looked at Xu Cen with mockery in their eyes.

Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang exchanged a look with each other. They could see the bewilderment in each other’s eyes. It did not cross their minds that the sectless cultivator’s attack would have a force strong enough to kill Xu Can who was so sure of his victory. Xu Can thought the shockwave from the explosion had killed Li Feng.

Xu Can must have not been able to react in time. After all, everyone had thought he had won, including himself.

“Elder Xu, my condolences to you.” Although Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang did not feel anything regarding Xu Can’s death, they still needed to be courteous and took turns to console Xu Cen.

Xu Cen’s eyes were red, and his body was trembling violently.

His grandson is dead! He had pinned all his hope on his grandson!

He had even thought of letting his grandson fight for the position of the next Mansion Master with Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion. As long as his grandson was ranked in the Rising Sky Ranking, he would stand a chance to vie for the position.

Now that his grandson had died, everything was gone like a fleeting cloud.

“T-This…” At this moment, alarmed voices began to resonate in the surrounding.

Xu Cen did not pay attention to the alarmed voices due to his grief over his grandson’s death.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, a figure gradually materialized from the shockwave of the explosion with an overwhelming golden light. It seemed as though the figure had changed his clothes.

Although he had changed his clothes, the people present on the scene could still recognize him.

Li Feng!

Li Feng was not dead?

Everyone, including Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang, could not help but widen their eyes in shock. They did not regain their senses for a long time.

They did not expect this at all.

Even Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang had thought Duan Ling Tian had died from the explosion since the explosion happened near him. It was not something blood and flesh would be able to withstand, not even if Duan Ling Tian had cast an Earth Rank Prominent Saint Grade Martial Tactic’s defensive technique that was at the highest stage.

After all, that energy was the energy formed from the collision of two powerful forces. Although they had neutralized each other a little, they had still fused together and exploded in the end.

Under such circ.u.mstances, unless it was those wild beasts or Saint Beasts that were famous for their brute strength, even an ordinary wild beast or Saint Beast might not be able to survive the shockwave of the explosion, let alone a human being.

In the Dao Martial Saint Land, humans were known for being fragile compared to wild beasts and Saint Beasts.

This was precisely why everyone was shocked that Duan Ling Tian had survived.

Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang were the first to regain their senses. They looked at Duan Ling Tian as though they were looking at some peerless treasure.

They were certain ever since the explosion, no Dao Talismans or Saint Inscriptions were used at all. In other words, Duan Ling Tian had used his own strength to s.h.i.+eld himself from the shockwave of the explosion.

They were both baffled but pleasantly surprised. They were baffled Duan Ling Tian actually managed to survive. And they were pleasantly surprised for being able to encounter such a remarkable young man who was a sectless cultivator. This meant they had a chance of recruiting him into their sects.

If they could recruit this young man, it would definitely be a pleasant surprise for their respective sect.
