Chapter 264: Episode 11 Chapter 22 Sword Immortal Duel (Shamelessly Asking for Monthly Votes)

"Sword Immortal Lan Feng!"

True Master Ming Liang and a group of Independent Immortals were shocked. They had never imagined that the mysterious Sword Immortal who had taken the Sky-breaking Map would dare to return upon the arrival of the Immortal Realm Envoy Hua Yan.

"Sword Immortal Lan Feng!"

Fang Tian and Zong Jue were both astonished, as were Hu Yi of the Chaotic Star Sea, Lian Xiao, Fu Yunzi, and others, as well as members of the Dragon Clan like Ao Xu and Yan Shan. None could hide their amazement.

Only Qin Yu secretly laughed to himself.

"Big Brother, what’s the deal with that Sword Immortal Lan Feng? Does he truly have the confidence to deal with Hua Yan? But that Shattering Thunder Seal can even injure the Dragon Clan Patriarch Fang Tian, and this Sword Immortal Lan Feng has quite a few of them," Hou Fei communicated through Spiritual Sense.

Hou Fei and Hei Yu also knew that Qin Yu possessed a Sword Immortal Puppet, but they had no idea that Lan Feng was that very puppet.

"Feifei, Little Black, do you remember me mentioning that Uncle Lan once gave me a Sword Immortal Puppet?" Qin Yu communicated through Spiritual Sense.

Hou Fei’s and Hei Yu’s eyes widened as they looked at the Sword Immortal Puppet. At this mystical moment, the Sword Immortal Puppet turned to look at Hou Fei and Hei Yu, its gaze so similar to Qin Yu’s.

"Big Brother, he couldn’t be..." Hou Fei and Hei Yu finally understood what was going on—if they didn’t by now, they would indeed be fools.

Qin Yu smiled slightly but did not reply; however, Hou Fei and Hei Yu had completely grasped the truth.

...

"Lan Feng, Sword Immortal Lan Feng? Are you the Lan Feng who took the Sky-breaking Map that belonged to Emperor Yu?" Hua Yan looked toward Lan Feng and asked coldly.

No one would be happy to have their treasure stolen and then flaunted in front of them by their enemy.

"Belonged to Emperor Yu?" Lan Feng smiled faintly and continued, "Friend Hua Yan, you should speak carefully. To my knowledge, this Sky-breaking Map originally belonged to Immortal Emperor Ni Yang, and later, within the Nine Sword Immortal Mansion, three pieces of the Sky-breaking Map were obtained by Yan Ji of the Yin Yue Palace, Yan Mo of the Dragon Clan, and Qin Yu of the Star Pavilion. The piece that I have now originally belonged to Qin Yu. True Master Ming Liang and others forcibly took it after entering the Hidden Dragon Continent, even causing the deaths and injuries of tens of millions of mortals. You fought to take it away, I fought to retrieve it—on what ground do you claim that the Sky-breaking Map belongs to Emperor Yu?"

Zong Jue speculated in his heart that Lan Feng was a fellow disciple of Senior Lan, of course, he sided with Lan Feng internally.

"Brother Lan Feng speaks the truth. They took it from little brother Qin Yu, and now Lan Feng has reclaimed it; in essence, it could be said that the rightful owner has recovered his property," Zong Jue said with a smile.

"The rightful owner has recovered his property?"

Hua Yan, True Master Ming Liang, and the other Independent Immortals were all inwardly confused.

Lan Feng flipped his hand, and an ink and wash painting appeared. He laughed and said, "I have some connections with the master of Qin Yu, so to say that the rightful owner has recovered his property is not entirely without basis." After saying this, Lan Feng looked toward Qin Yu with a smile, and Qin Yu ’timely’ showed an astonished expression.

Lan Feng and Qin Yu looked at each other.

"Big Brother, how can your Sword Immortal Puppet look exactly like a real person?" Hou Fei couldn’t contain his surprise.

He knew Sword Immortal Puppets had no soul, so how could it look so lifelike?

Qin Yu communicated through Spiritual Sense, "This puppet was made by Uncle Lan. The wonder of the Sword Immortal Puppet is beyond my imagination, and besides... with dual-tasking, I even feel as if the Sword Immortal Puppet is part of my own body." Qin Yu couldn’t help but marvel internally.

This Sword Immortal Puppet was incredibly wondrous, almost like another flesh and blood body. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"The rightful owner has recovered his property, haha... Speaking of which, it should be turned over to me. Immortal Emperor Ni Yang was a great emperor of our Immortal Realm, and this Sky-breaking Map was left by him; ultimately, it should belong to our Immortal Realm. As an envoy of the Immortal Realm, it is right for the Sky-breaking Map to be returned to me," Hua Yan said with a calm smile.

While he smiled on the outside, Hua Yan was somewhat worried on the inside.

"As True Master Ming Liang said, this Sword Immortal Lan Feng is also likely a First Level Golden Immortal, maybe even higher," Hua Yan thought. His Immortal Consciousness couldn’t probe Lan Feng’s realm, which indicated that Lan Feng’s realm was at least not lower than his own.

The enemy was also a Sword Immortal, and his power was no lesser than his.

Hua Yan firmly believed that there were definitely no Golden Immortals in the Mortal World, unless they were descended from the Immortal Realm.

"Which Immortal Emperor’s envoy are you? There are only a few who would dare to compete with Emperor Yu," Hua Yan thought rapidly.

"You are from the Immortal Realm, am I not?" Lan Feng said with a smile.

Hua Yan was taken aback: Indeed, he was definitely a being who had descended from the Immortal Realm. He couldn’t care about anything else now. No matter what, he would first gauge his strength. If he truly was powerful, he would plan for the long term.

Hua Yan grew fierce.

"You’re from the Immortal Realm? Haha... I came from the passage between the two realms, and everyone present saw it. Where do you come from? This Sky-breaking Map was obtained by Ming Liang and offered to Emperor Yu. You dare to seize an item offered to Emperor Yu; no one behind you will be able to protect you," Hua Yan said as his right hand slowly moved to the hilt of the Immortal Sword on his back.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Qin Yu’s mouth below.

Meanwhile, Sword Immortal Lan Feng’s face turned cold: "Hmph, Hua Yan, do you want to humiliate yourself?"

"Humiliate myself?" Hua Yan also sneered, "It’s too early to say who will be humiliated."

And at that moment—

Zong Jue’s body emitted a surging energy, instantly covering more than fifty experts from the Chaotic Star Sea and the three Qin Yu brothers. Similarly, Fang Tian from the Dragon Clan released the energy within his body to protect the Dragon Clan’s experts, and the Independent Immortals quickly retreated into the Upper Heavenly Palace.

Sword Immortals, their attacks extremely focused.

If the Sword Qi touched an ordinary Loose Cultivator expert, even those who had passed the Tenth or Eleventh Tribulation might not be able to withstand it.

The duel between two great Sword Immortals.

The Immortal Realm Envoy ’Hua Yan’ versus the mysterious Sword Immortal ’Lan Feng’.

"Since you wish to fight, I will naturally accompany you," Lan Feng’s right hand also slowly reached to the hilt of the sword on his back.

The two great Sword Immortals exuded a fierce aura!

They drew their swords at the same time!

Two beams of Sword Qi soared into the sky. Apart from Fang Tian, Zong Jue, and Qin Yu, no one else on the scene could clearly see what had just happened. Fang Tian and Zong Jue could see because their strength had reached that level, while Qin Yu could see because he was in essence a clone of Sword Immortal Lan Feng.

Sword Qi crisscrossed.

With just one exchange, two massive gorges appeared on Qingxu Mountain, one horizontal and one vertical. The depths of the gorges even exceeded the height of Qingxu Mountain itself, stretching deep into the ground.

Just one exchange, and a great part of Qingxu Mountain was destroyed.

The two great Sword Immortals, Hua Yan and Lan Feng, stood in the air simultaneously, with the wind blowing hard. Their Immortal Swords were still sheathed on their backs. Yet at this moment, Hua Yan’s face was filled with shock and disbelief.

"The Sky-breaking Sword Technique, are you cultivating the Sky-breaking Sword Technique?" Hua Yan couldn’t believe it.

Lan Feng smiled slightly: "The Sky-breaking Sword Technique consists of nine moves. I merely used the fourth just now, and the five moves that follow are even more powerful... We’ll have plenty of opportunities, and soon I shall let you deeply experience the power of the Sky-breaking Sword Technique."

Hua Yan was utterly shocked: "The Sky-breaking Sword Technique has been lost since the fall of Immortal Emperor Ni Yang. Known as the strongest sword technique for attacking among Sword Immortals in the Immortal Realm, could there really be a successor? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Hua Yan’s ’Seven Stars Sword Technique’ was also considered upper-tier among Sword Immortal techniques, but it was still a notch weaker compared to the Sky-breaking Sword Technique.

Yet below, Qin Yu’s heart was silently lamenting, "The fourth move, just one fourth move has consumed more than ten percent of the Top-Grade Elemental Spirit Stone’s energy; the loss is truly substantial. However, it’s still good, the remaining energy is enough to use the ninth move. Well, having invested so much today, I will have to get it all back after a while."

He had only one Top-Grade Elemental Spirit Stone.

The "Sky-breaking Sword Technique" consisted of a total of nine moves, with the last one requiring eighty percent of the Top-Grade Elemental Spirit Stone’s energy. Although the fourth move wasn’t weak, it paled in comparison to the ninth move, requiring just over ten percent of the energy. Adding the energy consumed by a burst of Sword Qi when he first took action to seize the Sky-breaking Map, there was still eighty percent left.

"Now... it’s time to make Hua Yan realize that in terms of defense, even if he has Top-Grade Immortal Battle Clothes, they are no match for my Sword Immortal Puppet," Qin Yu revealed a slight smile on his face.

He still remembered the introduction Uncle Lan had left about the Sword Immortal Puppet.

The Sword Immortal Puppet was made of a special material.

In Uncle Lan’s words, the toughness of the Sword Immortal Puppet was virtually indestructible, not even a Profound Immortal descending could likely break it.

Of course, everything required the energy supply from a Top-Grade Elemental Spirit Stone. Without the Top-Grade Elemental Spirit Stone, even if the Sword Immortal Puppet was extremely tough, it would be no different from a piece of scrap iron.

"Sword Immortal Lan Feng, hmph, even if you cultivate the ’Sky-breaking Sword Technique’, what about your defense?" Hua Yan scoffed coldly.

At the same time, a Hundred Dust Thunder Seal appeared in Hua Yan’s palm.

The expressions on the faces of Fang Tian and Zong Jue changed; it was the Hundred Dust Thunder Seal that had severely injured Fang Tian just now. The power of the Hundred Dust Thunder Seal didn’t need to be elaborated on. Meanwhile, the masters on the side of the Independent Immortals all wore expressions of delight.

"Hundred Dust Thunder Seal, mere child’s play," Lan Feng said with a light smile.

Hua Yan’s face changed.

A ray of light appeared in Hua Yan’s palm, and at the same time, the Hundred Dust Thunder Seal flew towards Sword Immortal Lan Feng.

At this moment—

Countless experts below, from the Chaotic Star Sea, the Dragon Clan, the Independent Immortals, and some ordinary Cultivators surrounding Qingxu Mountain, all looked up at the duel between the two great Sword Immortals in the sky. Naturally, everyone’s eyes were fixed on that Hundred Dust Thunder Seal.

"Bang!" The Hundred Dust Thunder Seal shattered, and streams of thunder and lightning spread out from it.

The target—Lan Feng.

Each bolt of lightning struck Lan Feng, who didn’t even try to dodge.

A bolt of lightning merely sparked a purple thunder spark on Lan Feng’s body. Bathed in those sparks, Lan Feng even smiled while watching. Even when lightning struck towards Lan Feng’s head, the robe on Lan Feng’s body would swirl and block the lightning.

After a hundred bolts of lightning, Lan Feng remained unharmed.

Hua Yan’s face had turned somewhat pale.

It wasn’t because of his strength, but because he had realized something—the other party also had Top-Grade Immortal Battle Clothes.

"Is your Immortal Sword a Top-Grade Immortal Artifact?" Hua Yan asked in a cold voice.

Below, Qin Yu couldn’t help but laugh, as even he himself didn’t know what materials were used for each part of the Sword Immortal Puppet. Qin Yu only knew... he had never seen the materials used for the Sword Immortal Puppet, and they were also extremely tough.

"A Top-Grade Immortal Sword? You could say that," Lan Feng said with a smile.

Hua Yan continued to inquire, "And the robe you’re wearing, is it a Top-Grade Defensive Immortal Device?"

"Well... you could say that too," Lan Feng nodded in response.

What Lan Feng said was actually what Qin Yu had said. This robe made of special materials could be considered a top-grade immortal artifact.

"Who taught you the ’Sky-breaking Sword Technique’?" Hua Yan frowned and asked.

"Who taught it?" Lan Feng thought for a moment, "To be honest, I have never met my master. The ’Sky-breaking Sword Technique’ was passed on to me by my senior brother. Although he is my senior brother, in reality, he counts as my master too."

Hua Yan’s complexion changed, "You have a senior brother?"

To Hua Yan, any sword immortal who practiced the Sky-breaking Sword Technique was a significant threat. Coping with one sword immortal who practiced the same technique was already unacceptable to him. Now the mention of another senior brother made Hua Yan feel even more infuriated.

"Yes, and my senior brother Lan is also in the Mortal World," Lan Feng said with a beaming smile.

"He is also in the Mortal World!" Hua Yan trembled inside.

One Lan Feng was enough to make him feel uncertain.

Lan Feng’s offensive and defensive weapons, along with his own abilities, were not weaker than Hua Yan’s. Moreover, Lan Feng’s sword technique was even superior to his. Facing Lan Feng, Hua Yan had no confidence at all. And now, a figure called ’Senior Brother Lan’ appeared, who was actually Lan Feng’s master.

"You’re lying to me, right?" Hua Yan laughed, "It is already incredibly difficult for a first-level golden immortal to cross the space barrier. Looking across the Demon World, the Demon Realm, and the Immortal Realm, I can’t think of anyone capable of bringing an even more formidable expert through the space barrier."

Lan Feng smiled indifferently, "Believe it or not, it’s up to you."

Below, Zong Jue and Fang Tian were both deep in thought.

This Lan Feng referred to his senior brother as ’Senior Brother Lan.’ Could it be... that Senior Lan truly is this Lan Feng’s senior brother?

Qin Yu couldn’t help but smile.

What Lan Feng said, along with what he himself had told Zong Jue and the others, all wove together a false background.

This fake sect, with a significant background, included the younger generation like Qin Yu, Hou Fei, and Hei Yu, and the older generation with experts like Uncle Lan and Lan Feng. This fictional sect had actually started to convince people like Fang Tian, Zong Jue, and others.

"Hua Yan, you just used the ’Hundred Dust Thunder Seal’ to attack me. Is it my turn to attack now?" Lan Feng suddenly spoke up.

Hua Yan’s heart lurched, and he instantly raised his energy to its peak.

Seeing Hua Yan’s defensive stance, Lan Feng burst into hearty laughter, "I was just joking with you, no need to be so tense." Then Lan Feng looked towards Qin Yu, "Young friend Qin Yu, I’ll be taking my leave for now. In some time, there will be a matter I’ll need your help with."

"What matter?" Qin Yu appeared puzzled.

Fang Tian, Zong Jue, and Hua Yan also turned towards Qin Yu, equally curious as to why a sword immortal would need Qin Yu’s assistance, and what that matter could be.

"Haha, you’ll know when the time comes." With that, Lan Feng’s form moved and he vanished into thin air.

"Young brother Qin Yu, what do you think that Lan Feng will ask you to help with?" Fang Tian spoke up, while Zong Jue, Sword Immortal Hua Yan, and countless independent immortals, experts from the Chaotic Star Sea, and members of the Dragon Clan present all looked towards Qin Yu.

Everyone wanted to know what exactly Lan Feng would have Qin Yu do.

Qin Yu looked totally innocent, "I have no idea."

But deep down, Qin Yu was secretly delighted.

(What matter could it be? Hehe, this is a cliffhanger to be revealed tomorrow, hehe... And finally, Fang Qie asks for your monthly votes—I’ve been left far behind. In fact, eight thousand words a day is just right for me; any more than that, and the quality would drop.)
