Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 446 - 442: Eliminating the Sword Beast, Fusing the Sword Heart

Chapter 446: Chapter 442: Eliminating the Sword Beast, Fusing the Sword Heart

Although the Sword Beast is called a Sword Beast, its appearance is somewhat strange.

On its head, it wears a long sharp sword, constantly swinging its head to fight with the Heaven-Burying Sword in Xia Feng’s hand.

It also has scales and limbs, giving it an extremely bizarre look.

Especially when Xia Feng was watching Li Qingxue entangle with it, he deliberately moved behind it to prepare to attack its body.

Unexpectedly, the sharp sword on the Sword Beast’s head suddenly sank into its brain and grew straight out from its body.

Originally planning a sneak attack, Li Qingxue was almost impaled by this sharp sword, and it was only her timely reaction and rolling mid-air that allowed her to dodge it.

So now, Xia Feng is also quite cautious while entangling with the Sword Beast, fearing that he might inadvertently fall into this little beast’s trap.

The Sword Beast let out a few roars and, without any regard for defense, charged straight at Xia Feng.

The sharp sword seemed even more resilient, flashing with a chilling glint that made Xia Feng even more alert.

There were countless sword techniques in the Heaven-Burying Divine Technique, and Xia Feng immediately summoned the Sword-Breaking Technique, stabbing directly at the sharp sword.

In the sky of the Secret Realm, faint clouds appeared, accompanied by a hint of thunder in the air.

The Sword Beast’s expression grew uneasy, but whether due to the rules or its nature, even though afraid, it showed no retreat.

The two swords clashed harshly and finally came to a halt.

Blood seeped from the tiger’s mouth of Xia Feng, seemingly because the force was so great it slightly tore the tiger’s mouth.

From behind, Xiao Qingxue hurried over anxiously, life energy gathering in her palm, then covering Xia Feng’s tiger’s mouth.

Within a blink, the seeped blood vanished without a trace.

Only then did she have the presence of mind to turn and look at the Sword Beast: "Is it dead?"

Xia Feng nodded slightly, and as he walked over, the Sword Beast’s body gradually dissipated like dust, and the sharp sword on its head emitted a faint glow, instantly merging into the Heaven-Burying Sword in Xia Feng’s hand.

A heart-shaped crystal stone remained in mid-air, which should be the Sword Heart mentioned before.

Li Qingxue curiously came closer, seemingly wanting to see what this object looked like, but Xia Feng directly handed it to Li Qingxue.

She looked somewhat puzzled: "Isn’t this thing supposed to solidify cultivation once absorbed?"

"You killed it, so you should keep it yourself."

Xia Feng pressed his temple, raising his chin to glance at the two loose cultivators opposite: "Although this Sword Beast’s cultivation later rose to the First Grade Celestial God Realm, the Sword Heart still follows its initial cultivation."

"A mere Sword Heart of a Celestial Tier Seventh Layer Martial God is useless to me."

He paused before continuing: "Moreover, my foundation really doesn’t need solidifying."

"Go ahead and refine it. If a Sword Heart of a First Grade Celestial God Realm really appears later, I will definitely not refuse to share it with you."

Given Xia Feng’s current situation, breaking through to Celestial God is already extremely difficult, requiring a hundred or a thousand times the time of others. Further fortifying his foundation would delay his breakthrough period again.

Li Qingxue thought about how Xia Feng had been cultivating in the Dream Realm Pearl for such a long time recently without breaking through to the Celestial God Realm and didn’t persuade him further.

Still, she took the Sword Heart in her hand and reversed it to her sisters.

"Want to try? Although you all aren’t cultivating the Great Dao of Celestial Sword, refining the Sword Heart might reduce the original cultivation suppression you face."

The girls thought for a moment before taking the Sword Heart to attempt refining it.

None succeeded, and eventually, they had to return the Sword Heart to Li Qingxue.

Li Qingxue lightly furrowed her brow; this was hunted by everyone together with Xia Feng, but taking it directly like this...

Xia Feng looked at her again: "Don’t overthink it. Now that we know the way to hunt Sword Hearts, there will surely be no shortage of them."

"As for whether the other sisters can refine the Sword Heart, let’s just remember this. When something good shows up next time, we can distribute it to them."

Li Qingxue nodded in agreement and then placed the Sword Heart on her forehead.

A flash of bluish-white light passed, and the Sword Heart disappeared in the blink of an eye, fully integrated into Li Qingxue’s body.

The two loose cultivators nearby recognized her as the newly returned Goddess Qingxue from the Lower Realm. The two exchanged glances, with an air of disbelief pervading their expressions.

Indeed, Li Qingyu had been tirelessly smearing Li Qingxue’s image, leading these loose cultivators to view Li Qingxue as a country bumpkin from the countryside.

They always thought her cultivation progress was particularly slow, with no formidable followers under her.

But what did they see today?

A Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial God, and an exceptionally steadfast one at that.

The people beside her, whether followers or friends, all appeared more formidable than the next.

Especially that seemingly young man, who nonchalantly killed a Divine Level Sword Beast.

This was something they couldn’t even dream of achieving, yet he did it.

Now the two were silently recalling whether they had said anything disrespectful to Li Qingxue upon arriving here.

After careful consideration, apart from initially being somewhat anxious, they seemed to have committed no other offense...

Yet they were somewhat trembling, for with Li Qingyu’s temperament, even the slightest offense could cost them their lives. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Who knows if Li Qingxue would be the same as her sister?

Xia Feng turned to face the empty space where the Sword Beast had died, noting the nascent spatial fluctuations, indicating the emergence of another Sword Beast.

He looked back at the two loose cultivators: "You’re not leaving yet?"

"Waiting here for me to leave you some spoils?"

Who knew how many Sword Beasts could show up later, and he couldn’t afford to have these two loose cultivators causing harm during any ensuing chaos to the other nine women.

The two loose cultivators froze, hesitantly asking, "Can we go?"

Xia Feng’s gaze became more scrutinizing: "Why, did you speak ill of Qingxue before?"

The two loose cultivators shook their heads vigorously, not daring to even think of it. After all, even if she were just a Divine Maiden, she was far above their reach, let alone speak against her.

Xia Feng, seeing they didn’t appear to be lying, waved his hand: "Alright, go on."

The two loose cultivators glanced at Xia Feng, then at Li Qingxue, and quickly flew off on their swords as if granted the greatest of pardons.
