Sword Aura to the Heavens-Chapter 408 - 403: Shattered with a Single Blow

Time seemed to slow down at this moment. In the dojo, many eyes were fixed on Li Fan's figure, as his body slowly hovered in the air. In front of him, the golden spear of the divine generals pierced into the Dragon Shadow, yet failed to break through its defenses.

"The supreme technique of Tiandu Palace, the power of the Pantheon Tower is limitless, yet such a strike could not tear through its defenses." The people thought to themselves; martial arts practitioners who have cultivated to the utmost are indeed terrifying existences.

The golden giant dragon encircled Li Fan's body, its eyes emitting a golden light, seemingly alive, as if possessing a Dragon Soul.

Legend has it that the martial spirit of martial arts practitioners integrates the primordial spirit of a cultivator within.

"Impressive." Qi Zhanyun exclaimed in admiration, admitting to himself that he couldn't achieve this; Li Fan indeed was much stronger than him.

Yun Tiancheng watched the scene before him with a grim expression. As he pointed forward, the golden spears trembled amidst the scornful voice of Li Fan. A resounding dragon's roar echoed through the skies, making the vast White Jade City seem to tremble, while all the golden spears were blown away.

"I originally didn't want to pay heed to you; why must you bring shame upon yourself?" Li Fan asked Yun Tiancheng, with a scornful and flirtatious gaze, driving Yun Tiancheng to madness.

The onlookers examined Li Fan seriously. He was an arrogant young man of unknown origins, with an air of a noble family's son, yet nobody recognized him. His personality was extremely conceited, and in his eyes, he held no regard for the Saint Heir of Tiandu Palace.

Looking at this, was his attitude towards Lingxiao Pavilion's Shen Jing back in White Jade City the same?

Even Mr. Yan from White Jade City watched Li Fan with interest.

"This Saint Heir of Tiandu Palace seems somewhat unclear?" Yan Chong spoke softly, fearing not to offend Tiandu Palace. Although Tiandu Palace is a top sect in Great Li, White Jade Academy didn't concern itself, especially since Yun Tiancheng's previous behavior had already displeased him.

"Maybe a little?" Ye Yunke said with a smile, contemplating how Wen Ruyu killed the previous Saint Heir of Tiandu Palace; now how will the new Saint Heir fare?

Yun Tiancheng couldn't endure such humiliation, as golden light surged skyward from his body, transforming the entire world into gold. The patterns on the dharma form behind him lit up, and divine generals seemed to emerge.

Around Li Fan's body too appeared golden divine general's phantoms, resembling celestial dharma forms, with mysterious sounds resonating as if in harmony with the Dao, enveloping Li Fan, golden light piercing down as each beam was a deadly attack.

"Go." Yun Tiancheng roared, as the golden rays transformed into sharp spikes, striking the dragon's body, causing the golden dragon to tremble.

Each descending golden beam contained the sharp intent of gold, yet Li Fan continued moving forward, ignoring the attacks, his body and the giant golden dragon merging into one.

"Kill."

Yun Tiancheng shouted, the divine generals surrounding Li Fan attacked simultaneously, making space tremble, their brutal assault tearing everything apart, intending to bury Li Fan within.

Amidst the dragon's encircling, Li Fan raised his hand forward, a dragon's roar shaking the heavens, and charged straightforwardly at Yun Tiancheng, with the golden dragon accompanying him. The dragon's fierce claws reached forward to strike, colliding with a divine general attacking him, causing intense body tremors, the golden light rupturing, and the divine general's body instantly shattered.

"This is..."

The crowd witnessed the shocking scene in the sky, their hearts stirred, as the golden dragon continued forward, ignoring the opponent's attacks, tearing everything in its path.

"Such a domineering martial arts technique." Yan Chong thought inwardly, observing the violent figure advancing all the way, while Yun Tiancheng's dharma form exploded and collided with the dragon's claws, the space around them trembling fiercely, then seeming to collapse and shatter, as the dragon claws tore through the dharma form and struck Yun Tiancheng's body.

Yun Tiancheng retreated violently, but it was too late; the sound of ripping was heard, bones shattered, blood splattered, as Yun Tiancheng's body was hit, flying to the distance, leaving a blood-red wound in his chest and abdomen, his breath rapidly weakened.

"Buzz..."

Li Fan's body continued forward, a beam of light appearing in the air.

"This movement technique..." Many people had a thought flash in their minds, Yun Tiancheng's eyes became blood colored, glaring steadfastly at Li Fan.

The Sky Splitting Claw erupted once more, dragon roars resounded, the golden dragon tearing apart space, splitting the dazzling golden light.

"Boom."

The golden light dissipated, as the giant dragon's claws gripped a figure firmly, it was Yun Tiancheng himself, trapped in the enormous claw, unable to break free.

Li Fan's luxurious robe fluttered in the wind, his disdainful eyes peering at the trapped figure below, pleased with the power of the Sky Splitting Claw. This technique, taught by the Demon Saint within the Demon Spring, made dealing with Yun Tiancheng as easy as complete destruction, even though he was the Saint Heir of Tiandu Palace.

"I thought the Saint Heir of Tiandu Palace would have some tricks, but he turned out to be so vulnerable. So, where does your confidence come from?" Li Fan asked Yun Tiancheng, whose eyes filled with blood, glaring fiercely at Li Fan.

Today's continuous humiliations, now physically crushed, nearly caused him to break his Dao heart.

The crowd below felt waves in their hearts, although they didn't personally feel Li Fan's combat power, since he was the newly appointed Saint Heir of Tiandu Palace, was he too weak, or was Li Fan too strong?

This Yun Tiancheng must have no face to meet people now.

"Disgraceful, get lost, never appear before me again." Li Fan raised his hand and tossed him away, accompanied by a dragon's roar, Yun Tiancheng's body was flung to the distance.

The crowd glanced towards the distance, their sympathy aligning with Yun Tiancheng, Tiandu Palace's new Saint Heir intended to make a name but faced continual embarrassment and utterly humiliating insults.

They watched Yun Tiancheng dragging his injured body away, unwilling but too ashamed to remain.

Li Fan turned around and flew back, his figure landing as many eyes looked at him with a changed perception.

Not far where Li Fan landed was Liu Qingwu from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, Li Fan glanced at her briefly, but didn't look again.

This created an illusion for Liu Qingwu, as if she was no different than Yun Tiancheng in Li Fan's eyes, unworthy of attention.

So, was Li Fan's rebuttal that day at Chaotian Pavilion Restaurant because he believed.

He himself could become one of the future leading figures in Great Li's cultivation world?

He wanted a spot.

Thinking of this made Liu Qingwu's brows tremble lightly, how arrogant.

Even with his unparalleled combat prowess, could he aspire to be one of them? Is that possible?

Among the present prodigies, only Xiao Lv from White Jade could have the qualifications to be among them.

Li Fan felt a sharp intent upon him, turned to see Shen Jing from Lingxiao Pavilion glaring at him, he chuckled, "You seemed quite arrogant before? Want to give it a try?"

The surrounding crowd paused, having just humiliated the Saint Heir of Tiandu Palace, now provoking Shen Jing from Lingxiao Pavilion?

Shen Jing's pupils contracted, Sword Aura flowing from his body.

Had he underestimated the opponent before?

This person's strength now threatened him.

But at this moment, Yue Yunxiao beside Shen Jing placed a hand on his shoulder, seemingly preventing Shen Jing from acting impulsively.

Shen Jing looked at Yue Yunxiao, the two seemed to be communicating secretly.

"Don't rush, it'll be your turn." Shen Jing said to Li Fan, though he had other matters to attend to first.

"Seems not different from that Saint Heir before." Li Fan said contemptuously, his flirtatious words as if disregarding the top Sword Cultivator of Lingxiao Pavilion entirely.

Sword Aura surged from Shen Jing's body as he stared at Li Fan, but Li Fan no longer paid him any attention.

"What cultivation technique are you practicing? My Qi Tian Pavilion also cultivates martial arts; why haven't I heard of a character like you?" Qi Zhanyun approached Li Fan and asked curiously.

"I'm curious too, which major sect or noble family do you hail from, young master?" Ye Yunke couldn't help but ask. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"A sect of the wilderness, not worth mentioning." Li Fan replied casually. He naturally recognized Ye Yunke, having seen him many years ago, though Ye Yunke couldn't recognize him with his altered appearance.

"I am Ye Yunke of Great Li, well-acquainted with the sects of Great Li World. It's rare for one to be unknown, yet I've not heard of a wilderness sect capable of nurturing such a figure." Ye Yunke asked with a smile.

"Great Li is vast after all, surely there are places where the prince hasn't visited." Li Fan replied with a smile. Ye Yunke realized Li Fan wasn't inclined to answer, so didn't pursue further, saying with a smile, "Perhaps after asking the Dao, there's a chance we might drink together, young master."

"What Dao do you intend to 'ask'?" Yan Chong asked Li Fan.

"What I seek is somewhat different from theirs, but not now either. Let them proceed first." Li Fan stepped aside, prompting even more curiosity from the crowd towards him.

What does he want to 'ask'?
