This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 607 - 77: Leave the rest to me
However, Li Feng was not prepared to continue depleting resources with Xue Hanfeng.
He was indeed confident that he could close in on Xue Hanfeng before his Dharma Aspect was broken.
But now, he found himself in the same predicament as Xue Hanfeng had faced earlier—needing to secure a victory in magical combat as quickly and with as little use of Spiritual Power as possible, in order to face the upcoming challenges.
A war of attrition was exactly what he dreaded the most.
So, taking advantage of the slightly shorter distance, Li Feng, fierce as Vajra, faced Xue Hanfeng and emitted a deep, dull roar.
The two-headed lion Dharma Aspect that enveloped him mimicked his action, opening its mouth to let out a long howl.
The lion’s roar moved mountains and rivers, its sonic waves tangible and solid, spreading in circles of golden yellow ripples like huge waves, covering the sky and the ground, making the heaven and earth thunder, and causing the souls of those it touched to nearly leave their bodies.
This was a Primordial Spirit Attack!
What was more terrifying was that this was a vast canyon microcosm; in this terrain, the cliff walls acted as echo walls, causing the sonic waves to resonate continuously instead of dissipating, effectively increasing its power by an extra thirty percent.
Xue Hanfeng’s alertness skyrocketed, and a layer of frost silently appeared over his Primordial Spirit.
How could a cultivator of his combat power not have means to defend his Primordial Spirit?
Bam!
The sonic waves invaded Xue Hanfeng’s Divine Soul, crashing against that layer of frost.
Like surging waves hitting the shore, after a few moments, the sound of ice cracking echoed within his psyche.
That layer of frost, under the relentless sonic bombardment, actually directly turned into powdery ice!
Shortly after, the deafening roar of the lion invaded his Primordial Spirit, causing him a brief moment of confusion.
This was the secret technique of the Dharma Aspect cultivated by Li Feng, the true Lion’s Roar, specifically targeting the Primordial Spirit.
He knew well that Xue Hanfeng had fought three consecutive battles, significantly draining his Divine Sense, so he attacked this weakness, which indeed proved very effective.
During Xue Hanfeng’s moment of distraction, Li Feng advanced once more, and even though he was still hundreds of meters away from Xue Hanfeng, he had already struck down with the long saber in his hand.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
A streak of light appeared on the blade, emanating an extremely powerful killing force.
This streak of light then suddenly detached from the long saber in Li Feng’s hand, tearing through the air and pouring crazily towards Xue Hanfeng like a long river.
A river composed of saber auras.
A wisp of saber aura swept across Xue Hanfeng’s face, instantly leaving a trail of blood.

Behind it followed hundreds to thousands of saber aura rivers.
It was incredibly terrifying.
Just as Xue Hanfeng was about to be overwhelmed by the river of saber auras, a flash of Spiritual Light appeared, wiping away all the saber auras.
Afterwards, the wiping Spiritual Light did not dissipate, but turned around, split into two parts, and enveloped both Xue Hanfeng and Li Feng, taking them away together.
The two appeared outside the Mountain and Sea pillars.
“The fifteenth magical combat, Central Heavenly Realm wins,” declared King Qing Mei, standing before them.
The Eastern Domain was now left with only one person.
A hint of regret flashed through Xue Hanfeng’s eyes.
If it were not for being in the canyon microcosm, which was the most suitable for sonic attacks, and if it were not for the prior three battles that had depleted much of his Divine Sense, he would not have been caught off guard so easily.
But he didn’t say much else.
Defeat was defeat, and no amount of excuses would change that.
He walked back to the team of the Eastern Domain, approaching the only remaining Sword Sect cultivator who had not been eliminated, and simply said, “Do your best.”
Xi Xiang also nodded slightly, murmuring quietly, “Do your best.”
The loss in this great competition was not a problem of the disciples’ abilities, and he did not want his own disciples to bear too heavy a psychological burden because of it.
…
Like the earlier Xue Hanfeng, Li Feng was also taking the time to recover his state.
Two hours went by in a flash, and by the time Li Feng opened his eyes, the sixteenth battle of magical combat was also on the verge of starting.
The last Sword Cultivator from the Sword Sect held his head high and chest out as he slowly stepped out of line.
Even if the Sword Sect was to be eliminated, they would stand tall in their elimination.
For this last battle, they still planned to initiate a challenge, even knowing that defeat was inevitable.
Xi Xiang’s face did not show much of the negative emotions of frustration or anger.
By now, he had truly calmed down, and it wasn’t just a pretense.
In the face of targeting by the Six Domains, the Sword Sect had already done well enough, even dragging the Central Heavenly Realm down with them.
Still, there was a trace of reluctance, alas…
As the Sword Sect disciple firmly stepped forward, Xi Xiang’s mind was filled with thoughts. Suddenly, the Sword Token hanging at his waist stirred, and instinctively, he sent his Divine Sense into it.
Immediately, the old Sword Cultivator from the Sword Sect seemed to have received some unexpected news, and his usually calm face suddenly changed.
Xi Xiang hurriedly stopped the disciple who was about to speak to initiate the challenge, “Wait a moment.”
The last disciple from the Sword Sect turned around, looking puzzledly at Xi Xiang, not understanding what his martial uncle meant.
“What’s going on?” The spectating cultivators, either gloating or filled with righteous indignation, noticed the change in the situation and were also puzzled, “Could it be that the Sword Sect is backing down?”
“We cultivators from the Eastern Domain would never back down!” retorted the spectating cultivators from the Eastern Domain indignantly.
“Then why is he…”
“Eastern Domain’s Lu Qingshan challenges the Central Heavenly Realm.”
At this moment, a loud voice came from afar, just in time to interrupt the discussions of the spectating cultivators.
Simultaneously, a flash of Sword Light passed outside the Nurturing Heart Platform and entered directly into the platform, settling in front of the group of cultivators from the Eastern Domain.
Under the watchful eyes of countless gazes, the Sword Light slowly dissipated, finally revealing a young figure.
It was a male cultivator looking somewhat haggard but extraordinarily handsome.
The male cultivator who rushed into the Nurturing Heart Platform seemed to possess a magical power, causing the recently noisy spectating cultivators to quieten down considerably, and even the many Yellow List cultivators inside the platform likewise focused their gaze intently on that figure.
Perhaps some did not recognize this male cultivator, but upon hearing his announcement upon entering, they immediately realized his identity.
Third on the Yellow List, ‘Sword Absolute’ Lu Qingshan.
There were many rumors about him.
Coming from humble origins, he made a name for himself in the Seven Domains debate, winning with Golden Core Cultivation.
After joining the Sword Sect, he reappeared in the eyes of the world a year later, already a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and soon defeated ‘Jade Wave Sword’ with Three Swords, initially entering the Yellow List.
His rise afterward was unstoppable; within another half year, he defiantly defeated Luo Yi, a Void Refining Late Stage cultivator, in front of everyone at the Heavenly Sin Martial Hall, thus directly rising to the third position on the Yellow List.
Some said that in another ten years, the first place on the Yellow List would undoubtedly be his, while others envied him and declared that he lacked stamina and could not condense his Taoist seed…
Lu Qingshan was undoubtedly the most prominent Nascent Soul Cultivator in the last hundred years. Although he had disappeared for the past two years, his popularity was not so easily diminished.
In short, maybe some did not think much of Lu Qingshan, but how many cultivators could there be who had not heard of his name?
His arrival captured the attention of all the cultivators present, even making them forget their confusion about why Lu Qingshan had arrived at this time.
The belatedly arriving Lu Qingshan slightly lifted his eyes to glance at Li Feng, not far away, then turned to look at the ten cultivators representing the Eastern Domain in this competition, and Xi Xiang, whose expression was somewhat complex.
A hint of apology flashed through his eyes, still not entirely clear of bloodshot.
“From here on, leave it to me.”
