Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 187: Sword Light in the Dark Night
Li Fan had been patient enough to solve the problem before, but he didn't expect that the problem was solved by Huang Xiong.

He claimed that after the coachman defeated the sword cultivator, no one came to ask about the sword anymore. Presumably, they were all afraid of encountering the same situation and being defeated by the coachman.

But Li Fan also gained a bad reputation because of this. When a sword cultivator came to him to ask for sword advice, he actually asked the coachman to fight, and even crushed the sword cultivator who asked for sword advice.

This Zuo Tu is totally arrogant.

As a result, Li Fan had a not-so-good image of a swordsman, young and frivolous, and arrogant. However, Li Fan was unaware of this and did not care.

Just two days later, Li Fan's ranking on the Qingyun List changed again, and he became the 33rd on the Qingyun List.

Even he doesn't know.

The reason for the ranking change is that Su Chen defeated the 33rd person on the Qingyun List. Su Chen should have replaced the 33rd place, but Su Chen lost to Li Fan before.

Thus, Li Fan entered the Qingyun list at number 33, Su Chen at number 34, and the swordsman who was defeated by Su Chen became number 35.

Li Fan knew the news from Old Man Cai, which made him feel a little amused and helpless. However, Su Chen seemed to be eager to get on the Qingyun list. He had originally wanted to step on Tang Huan to get on the list, but he didn't expect an accident to happen.

So, Su Chen changed his approach.

Li Fan was still practicing swordsmanship in Qixing Lane. After he established his foundation, his understanding of the way of the sword had improved further and he needed to consolidate his foundation.

At night, Li Fan sat in the courtyard to practice, the starlight fell down, Li Fan was bathed in sword light, everything in the Seven Star Lane was within his perception, and he could see people coming and going outside.

At this time in Qixing Lane, a man wearing a bamboo hat was walking in the lane, with his head slightly lowered, heading in one direction.

When he walked to the door of Li Fanyuan, he stopped, looked inside, and then walked forward and knocked on the door.

"Why is there someone coming so late?" A lazy voice came, and Liu Ji walked towards the gate of the mansion and asked, "Who?"

"Ms. Lu wants to see Mr. Zuo about something." A voice came from outside.

"Lu Yuhuan?" Liu Ji turned her head and looked at Li Fan with an ambiguous smile in her eyes. Could it be that this Miss Lu was also bewitched?

It’s so late now, are you going to see Li Fan to watch the moon?
"Here I come." Liu Ji walked forward and was about to speak.

"Liu Ji."

At this time, Li Fan shouted, which made Liu Ji startled. She turned around and looked at Li Fan, and saw Li Fan said: "If Miss Lu comes to see you, it's Old Man Cai. We don't know the people outside."

Liu Ji was stunned. It seemed that it was Old Man Cai who had been in contact with them all along.

She was just about to ask for clarification when suddenly a violent sword intent erupted and the gate was torn apart in an instant.

"Be careful." Li Fan shouted. Just as he finished speaking, he saw an extremely domineering sword energy sweeping out. A huge sword appeared in the night sky, splitting the darkness into two. If the sword energy hit Liu Ji, it might cut her body in half.

A violent demonic aura erupted instantly. Sensing the danger, Liu Ji transformed into her original form. Her body was covered with scales and glowed with golden light. She was showing signs of evolving into a dragon.

"Pfft..."

The sword energy slashed down, blood splattered, and Liu Ji's body defense still couldn't withstand it. A cut was made in the huge snake body, and the huge body was chopped off and hit the house, bleeding profusely.

A swordsman at the initial stage of Dan Condensation.

When the opponent's sword swung out, a brilliant sword light instantly burst out from Li Fan's brow and killed the opponent, but it was still a little late.

Li Fan's sword has now transformed. When it burst out, it turned into a huge sword, like a sword of stars, engraved with runes, flashing with thunder, surrounded by wind and thunder, domineering and sharp.

"Ok?"

The swordsman was obviously surprised when he felt the power of Li Fan's sword. A beam of sword light also shot out from between his eyebrows. It was a broad and heavy sword.

There was a loud bang and Li Fan only felt the sword vibrate, but it also blocked the opponent for a moment. His sword flew back and he saw the sword cultivator took a step forward, raised the heavy sword in his hand and slashed at Li Fan again.

Several extremely domineering sword auras appeared in the night sky. Li Fan drew his sword in an instant, and the Tianxing Sword burst into brilliant sword light, slashing out wind and thunder.

"boom……"

The sword intent he slashed out was torn into pieces. Although he was gifted, there was a huge gap between the Condensation Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the opponent was also a sword cultivator with powerful attack power.

When the sword energy came slashing down, it was like a giant sword killing Li Fan. He held the sword horizontally in front of him, and a wall of swords appeared around him, and his body was chopped away.

The sword cultivator was stunned. How could a sword cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage survive after taking a blow from his sword?
He leaped up, raised the heavy sword in his hand, a beam of sword light burst out, and a ten-zhang giant sword appeared in the void, slashing down from the sky, cutting the sky with one sword. Li Fan was about to use the sword intent hidden in his body, but he saw a figure blocking in front of him, a bone-chilling coldness froze the space, and the ten-zhang giant sword that was slashed was covered with frost.

But even so, the domineering giant sword still tore through the space and slashed towards the stunning woman who appeared.

"Boom..." A violent demonic aura swept out, and a huge fox shadow appeared behind the beautiful woman. The sky and the earth condensed into frost, and the giant sword slashed down slower and slower until it stopped falling. Even the sword cultivator shivered with the cold.

He looked around and saw that the entire courtyard was covered in frost. It had turned into a world of ice and snow, making the blood stop flowing.

"Monster." His expression was gloomy, and he was a demon in the fifth realm.

He didn't have much time to waste here. According to the original plan, he should kill Li Fan with one sword and then retreat immediately.

Although he failed to kill Li Fan, he still had to retreat.

With a flash of his body, he retreated backwards. The frozen space was like a domain. He slashed it with his sword and walked outwards, but he was surprised to find that he was still in the yard.

"Illusion."

His face suddenly changed. It turned out that the fox demon was good at powerful illusions, and he fell into the illusion space without knowing it.

"Who is so presumptuous here?" A loud shout was heard, and the sword cultivator's face became extremely embarrassed. The mighty sword intent in his body roared fiercely, and he slashed an extremely domineering sword at the void, trying to break the illusion with his sword.

The magic space seemed to be torn apart, and just as he was about to go out, he felt an extremely terrifying pressure coming down. A huge palm print came from the sky and killed him. He swept out with his heavy sword, but the huge palm print annihilated it and crushed it down.

There was a loud bang, and the sword cultivator's body was blown down. The sword energy on his body rushed into the sky, and he suddenly turned around and rushed towards Li Fan. Yue Qingqiu was still standing in front of Li Fan, staring at him.

A beam of brilliant sword light cut through the night sky, and the hat on his head was instantly chopped off. A blood mark appeared between his eyebrows. His body continued to move forward, but his body was split in the middle. Before it broke, it was frozen again, and even his blood was frozen. In an instant, he turned into an ice sculpture of a corpse.

Several figures shot towards this side and landed around the courtyard.

In the Qixing Lane, sword energy surged, and many sword cultivators leaped into the air at the same time, looking over here.

An assassination occurred in Qixing Lane?

Moreover, it was a sword cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm who came to assassinate Zuo Tu.

Seeing that the murderer was dead, Li Fan walked towards Liu Ji, only to see that Liu Ji had turned into a human form, with blood gushing from her waist. She was covering her wound with a painful expression, and there was sword energy remaining on her body. It was obvious that the sword had caused her serious injuries.

"Master Zuo." At this time, Lu Yuhuan also rushed over here. When she entered the courtyard, she saw Liu Ji's situation and said, "Master Zuo, I have a pill here."

As she spoke, she took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a pill and handed it to Li Fan.

"Thank you." Li Fan didn't hesitate to take it and fed it to Liu Ji. After Liu Ji ate it, the color on her face looked a little better.

"I'm sorry that this happened in my Qixing Lane." Lu Yuhuan felt a little apologetic. After all, this was the Lu family's territory, so it was their fault.

The people who had just rushed over to kill the sword cultivator were all practitioners from the Lu Mansion.

"Can you find out the other party's identity?" Li Fan asked.

"We will definitely get to the bottom of it." Lu Yuhuan responded, with a hint of murderous intent in Li Fan's eyes.

He had not been in Chixiao City for long and had been living in Qixing Lane. He did not have such a big grudge against anyone.

If there is only one person with whom there is a grudge, it is Su Chen.

But even if it was a festival, it shouldn't have come to this, right?
However, considering Su Chen's personality...

"My Lu family will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give an explanation to Mr. Zuo." A cultivator from the Lu family came over and spoke to Li Fan.

Li Fan nodded and didn't say much.

The Lu family’s reaction speed to this kind of assassination was already very fast.

The monk took a look at Yue Qingqiu and realized that this beautiful woman was actually a fox demon.

The sword cultivators gathered around also looked at Yue Qingqiu. This woman was pure and flawless. Under normal circumstances, you would never tell that she was a demon, and a fifth-level fox demon at that.
