Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 433 - 429: Entering the Secret Realm, Consecutive Backstabs
After the Celestial Sword Divine King said those words, the gaze lingering around the two of them disappeared.
Li Qingxue grasped Xia Feng’s arm: "If a conflict really arises in the Secret Realm, don’t worry about me, or what my mother said. Kill if you must."
As soon as she finished speaking, a gaze seemed to fall on them again, subtly trying to suppress them.
Xia Feng chuckled lightly: "Your mother is truly..."
He slightly raised his head to look at the sword qi in midair: "Thinking of the palm and the back of the hand both being flesh, yet not considering if the flesh on the palm and the back of the hand can truly be the same?"
"If you keep stirring things up, I’m afraid this Divine Domain might as well be named Liu instead of Li."
He shook his head, ready to lead Li Qingxue inside.
The cold voice of the Celestial Sword Divine King carried a hint of anger: "With such high cultivation, I’m merely asking you to spare her life. Does this count as favoritism?"
Xia Feng’s expression turned cold: "Have you ever considered that the two of us as a couple never intended to seek trouble with her?"
"If it weren’t for her constantly provoking us, we really have no animosity towards her."
"I can only promise you, if she doesn’t deliberately seek trouble inside the Secret Realm, then naturally I won’t bother her."
"However, if she continues to provoke inside the Secret Realm, I can’t guarantee what rash actions I might take."
The Celestial Sword Divine King’s voice showed more annoyance: "You..."
Xia Feng immediately replied: "The Divine King should have the ability to see what transpires in the Secret Realm, at that point you can make the judgement yourself."
"Moreover, even if you do want to intervene, can we Martial Gods really defy you?"
After finishing, he showed genuine annoyance, lightly flicking the Heaven-Burying Sword in his hand.
The Heaven-Burying Sword emitted a crisp sword hum, responding directly to the sword qi in midair.
Even Li Qingxue’s sword began to hum as if awaiting the summoning of the Secret Realm’s door.
Xia Tianming looked slightly embarrassed, glancing around, only to find his sword was silent.
He leaned closer to Xia Feng, whispering: "Is it inappropriate to take out the Void Cauldron in this situation?"
The Celestial Sword Divine Domain is almost entirely made up of Sword Cultivators, and those participating in the Holy Sword Secret Realm are the elite among them.
Although Xia Feng is not a Sword Cultivator, he is proficient in cultivating the Great Dao of Celestial Sword, with both Heaven-Burying Sword and Qingxue Sword to aid his disguise.
But Xia Tianming found himself in a bit of an awkward situation, having never engaged with the Great Dao of Celestial Sword.
Xia Feng paused, realizing he had indeed overlooked this.
He rummaged through his Storage Ring for a while and pulled out a long sword from the Dongfang Clan’s treasure trove, handing it over.
Xia Tianming took it with a bewildered expression: "What now? My sword won’t hum either."
Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, then tapped the sword’s blade, causing it to emit an awkward hum.
Faint sword qi began to guide them into the Secret Realm, and as they stepped into the vortex, the oppressive gaze behind them finally dissipated.
Before they had the chance to breathe a sigh of relief, the maid accompanying Li Qingxue started to act out.
She shook the long sword in her hand, swiftly stabbing towards Li Qingxue.
The maid’s cultivation was low, unable to perceive that Li Qingxue was unlike what she was five days ago.
She thought her strike would be undoubtedly successful, even planning how to receive her reward from Li Qingyu after entering the Secret Realm.
The nearby Sword Slave, in a state of panic, even considered using herself as a shield to protect Li Qingxue.
However, Xia Feng barely unsheathed the Heaven-Burying Sword, only slightly exposing it, causing the maid’s long sword to suddenly wail in pain.
The sword’s hum resembled the agonized cries of a blade under unbearable stress, snapping instantly when Xia Feng targeted it with his Heaven-Burying Sword.
The maid was dumbstruck, her face showing confusion and panic: "Impossible, this long sword was specially rewarded by Goddess Qingyu, it’s close to being an Upper Grade Divine Artifact, how could it snap like this?"
"Moreover, how did you detect my actions? You shouldn’t have had time to react at the moment of entering the Secret Realm."
She was frantically refusing to believe what she saw, thinking it was merely a trial in the Secret Realm’s Illusion Realm.
Xia Feng was disinclined to waste words on her. Previously, he hadn’t entered the Secret Realm, worried about not finding a suitable person to bind the Sword Talisman temporarily.
Now inside the Secret Realm, the Sword Talisman as a key was already useless.
Withdrawing the Heaven-Burying Sword, Xia Feng impaled it directly through her.
The maid looked blankly at Xia Feng and Li Qingxue, then lowered her gaze to the sword within her chest.
As her consciousness blurred, she continued to question: "How could this be, I’m one of Goddess Qingyu’s people..."
"How dare you, how could you kill me..."
Xia Feng idly withdrew the Heaven-Burying Sword, shaking off the accidentally acquired bloodstains before returning it to its scabbard.
"Let’s go inside, who knows what monsters might be waiting for us."
The comment was not unfounded, just as they entered the Secret Realm’s vortex and hadn’t found the real exit, there was already a traitor among the team.
Xia Feng could easily predict that many people were waiting for them at the Secret Realm’s entrance.
Taking the lead, he was the first to step out, subjected immediately to over ten strikes of sword qi from all directions.
But Xia Feng didn’t budge, allowing the sword qi to crash onto his Infinite Divine Armor without leaving a mark, feeling the amount and growing somewhat puzzled.
"Isn’t this... are these people stupid?"
Even if they didn’t know about Xia Feng’s performance of facing a hundred alone within the Infinite Secret Realm, these people should’ve seen his prowess in the arena.
More than a hundred Celestial Tier Martial Gods were helpless against him, yet now merely twenty Celestial Tier Sixth and Seventh Martial Gods were sent to block him.
This was clearly a slap in the face.
Once Li Qingxue appeared, their targets shifted instantly, turning twenty sword qi shots towards Li Qingxue’s wrist.
Clearly aiming for her injury, hoping she’d be unable to wield her sword.
Xia Feng hugged Li Qingxue, using the Infinite Divine Armor to shield her from the sword qi, ensuring she remained unharmed.
Li Qingxue felt helpless: "You needn’t go this far, I’m not a fragile doll of clay, these sword qis aren’t enough to harm me."
