Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 268 Hunter and Prey

"What is the identity of this Song Boling?" Li Fan asked.

Song Boling plotted against all the Qigong practitioners, but he escaped unscathed and no one dared to move.

"Song Boling is from the Song family of Xidi Island. His father works in Xidi Palace and is a cultivator in the late stage of Condensation Pill. His sister Song Siyu is extremely talented and has been cultivating in Xidi Palace since she was young. Now she has entered the Condensation Pill realm and is considered a favored daughter of heaven. With the power of his family, Song Boling, although not particularly talented, has used the accumulated resources to cultivate to the late stage of Foundation Establishment."

Meng Hong introduced: "Because of this relationship, he dared to act recklessly outside. Although he plotted against everyone, no one dared to touch him."

"I see that my brother's swordsmanship is superb, so his background should be no worse than Song Boling's, right?" Luo Qingyan said with a smile while looking at Li Fan. The late stage of the Condensation Core Realm was already a huge mountain that was difficult to cross for casual cultivators like them in the Condensation Core Realm.

But it is nothing in front of the top forces. With Li Fan's talent and the swordsmanship he has demonstrated, he must have a great background.

"When you go out and gain experience, you have to rely on yourself for everything." Li Fan replied. Luo Qingyan thought to herself that as expected, Li Fan did not deny it. Judging from his temperament and swordsmanship, he is most likely the heir of a swordsmanship family.

"Be careful during this period and don't go out without permission, so as not to be targeted by Old Monster Li." Meng Hong said.

"Yeah." Li Fan nodded.

"I'm going back to practice as well, and by the way, I'll count the spoils of this battle." Meng Hong said with a smile, and then left with Luo Qingyan.

Li Fan held the Soul-Calming Bell in his hand. With a thought, his soul flowed into the Soul-Calming Bell and planted a mark of his own soul.

He waved his hand, and the Soul-Calming Bell flew into the air, then continued to grow larger, shining with golden light. Wisps of invisible waves spread out and expanded in an instant, making Sun Zhao and others dazed.

But in just a moment, Li Fan stretched out his hand and took it into his palm. This old monster Tong was insidious and cunning. He had such a treasure on him, but in the end it benefited him.

The attack of the Soul-Calming Bell, if combined with his swordsmanship, can kill with one strike.

The sword cultivator is good at killing, and his killing speed is extremely fast. This treasure is very suitable for him. The effect it can play on him is definitely stronger than that on Tong Liang.

"It's a pity that I didn't get the rain of resurrection." Li Fan said in a low voice, looking at Lu Yuan beside him.

"I'll go and investigate this matter further." Sun Zhao said.

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Sun." Li Fan replied.

After that, Li Fan practiced in the other courtyard for a while. Luo Qingyan and Meng Hong would occasionally come over to chat with him. To be on the safe side, they hardly went out during those days, fearing revenge from that old ghost Li.

But as time went by, they would occasionally go out for a walk.

On this day, Meng Hong and Luo Qingyan came to Li Fan together.

"Several people who participated in the trade fair that day were killed, and all of them had exposed their magic weapons. It is suspected that Old Monster Li was the one who took action." Meng Hong deliberately inquired about this information.

"Sure enough, we were plotted against. It seems our guess was correct. Old Monster Li must have been in cahoots with Song Boling." Luo Qingyan said.

"Song Boling has average talent and was unable to enter the Western Emperor Palace for cultivation. He wants to use these unorthodox methods to seize resources outside. Sooner or later, he will be retaliated." Meng Hong looked at Li Fan and said, "There is another piece of news that Brother Yang should be interested in. Although Song Boling was unable to produce the Resurrection Rain Dew that day, according to reliable information, the Song family should have obtained the Resurrection Rain Dew, but it was reserved for Song Siyu to use for cultivation. Song Boling is not qualified to get it."

"So, the Resurrection Rain Dew really exists. In the Song family, Song Boling couldn't get this thing, but he used it to stir up trouble outside." Luo Qingyan sneered.

"Still in the Song family?" Li Fan became interested after hearing the news and asked.

"She should still be in the Song family. Song Siyu is practicing in the Western Emperor Palace and doesn't often go back to the Song family." Meng Hong said.

"You don't have any ideas, do you?" Luo Qingyan smiled at Li Fan and said, "Although Song Boling's father is also in Xidi Island, the Song family itself is not weak. There are several Condensation Core cultivators, including one in the middle stage of Condensation Core. Do you still want to rob the Song family?"

"Of course not." Li Fan said, "Tomorrow I plan to go to the sea to hunt monsters. Senior, do you want to come with me?"

"Monster hunting?" Meng Hong looked at Li Fan and nodded with a smile: "No problem."

"Is it really just monster hunting?" Luo Qingyan looked at Li Fan with a smile.

"What else?" Li Fan asked back.

"Okay, then I'll accompany my brother on this trip." Luo Qingyan also agreed.

…………

The next day, the group set out from the villa and headed north outside the city.

On the way, Meng Hong seemed quite cautious and said, "It seems someone is watching us."

"Perhaps the senior has sensed it wrongly." Li Fan said with a smile and continued to walk out.

"Maybe." Meng Hong was always on guard, but they had good fighting power. Even if that old monster Li wanted to kill them, he might not be able to do so. The sea area north of Xidi Island was relatively barren and had not yet been developed. However, there were often monks coming in from here to hunt sea monsters.

Arriving at the cliff at the edge of the sea, the group stopped and Meng Hong said, "Someone is following us, there is no doubt about it."

"There is a deserted island in the sea ahead. If you want to hunt monsters, it would be more appropriate to settle there." Li Fan seemed not to hear his words, and flew towards the sea on his sword.

A group of people followed, Meng Hong glanced at Li Fan's back, and followed them.

"Interesting." Luo Qingyan seemed to have sensed something. His figure flashed, and a group of people flew over the sea at a very fast speed.

Not long after, Li Fan and his group arrived at a deserted island. There were cliffs and huge rocks on all sides, and waves were beating against the cliff walls. Li Fan continued to move forward and entered the deserted island.

Meng Hong and Luo Qingyan naturally realized that Li Fan was not here to hunt monsters, but they just followed him without saying anything.

"Okay." Li Fan stopped and landed on a huge rock on the deserted island. He turned around and waited quietly.

Sure enough, not long after, a figure wearing a red and black robe appeared. This figure had deep and cold eyes, long hair draped over his shoulders, and a cold murderous intent emanated from him.

"Old Monster Li." Meng Hong and Luo Qingyan summoned their magic weapons and stared at the person who came. "It is you, but are you sure you have a chance of winning?"

Did Li Fan really intend to lure Old Monster Li here? Is he so confident?
There was a hint of cruelty in Old Monster Li's deep eyes, but he did not take any action. Behind him, there were sounds of breaking air, and soon several figures appeared.

"Song Boling." Meng Hong saw one of the young men and said coldly, "It turns out that you are colluding with Old Monster Li."

"Song Boling has two Nascent Soul cultivators by his side, plus Old Monster Li, so he might be difficult to deal with." Luo Qingyan whispered beside Li Fan. Li Fan deliberately lured Old Monster Li here, but he didn't expect that Song Boling would also come with Nascent Soul cultivators. The situation might be bad.

"Three of you have achieved Dan Neng." Meng Hong said to himself, his eyes solemn.

"Nice to meet you again." Song Boling stepped forward, looked at Li Fan from a distance, and said with a smile: "That day I asked you to hand over the sword manual, but you actually exposed me? Today, did you take the initiative, or did you want me to do it?"

Li Fan glanced at Song Boling and said.

"This Song Boling must be alive."

Luo Qingyan and Meng Hong were both stunned and looked at him in surprise.

So, Li Fan’s target is not Monster Li at all, but Song Boling?
Is he waiting for Song Boling to catch up with him?

However, Old Monster Li is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, and with two more Nascent Soul cultivators, how can Li Fan be sure to deal with them?

Li Fan was indeed waiting for Song Boling. Old Monster Li was notorious for hunting monks on Xidi Island. Naturally, Song Boling did not dare to get together with him openly.

And Monster Li never attacked them, probably because he was afraid of their large numbers.

So, Li Fan gave them a chance and came to this deserted island. Old Monster Li wanted to find help. There was no one living here, so it was just right for Song Boling and the others to show up together.

And, no one knows yet.

Song Boling narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Fan: "You, what are you talking about?"

"You guys hold back Old Monster Li, and I will deal with the two Ningdan cultivators. I will make quick work of them." Li Fan said. Although Meng Hong and Luo Qingyan were surprised, since Li Fan said so, he must be confident, so they nodded.

Seeing that Li Fan completely ignored him, Song Boling's eyes became extremely gloomy. He knew that Li Fan had killed a Ningdan cultivator before, but he wanted to end the battle quickly and deal with the two Ningdan cultivators?

"Senior Li, kill them." Song Boling said to the old monster Li.

An extremely terrifying blood-red light emanated from Monster Li's body, revealing an evil aura. A blood-red shadow appeared behind him, looking hideous and terrifying. Blood-red thunder flashed, and the world suddenly became extremely terrifying.

He grabbed his hand downwards, and suddenly a huge shadow appeared in the void. Bloody claws surrounded by the light of destruction grabbed towards Li Fan and others.

"Brother Yang, we will try our best to delay him, and the rest is up to you." As soon as Meng Hong finished speaking, he soared into the sky. A magic weapon appeared in his hand. A pen burst into brilliant golden light. He slashed towards the air, cutting the claws apart. Brilliant golden light burst out in the sky, and transformed into many divine soldiers in golden armor who rushed forward to clear the way for him.

Sun Zhao soared into the sky, with sword lights flashing all over the sky, slashing towards the sky.

Luo Qingyan held the thunder whip in his hand, which turned into a sword and chopped down.

Yue Qingqiu's figure soared into the sky, and the shadow of a demon fox stretched across the sky, filled with frost.

Li Fan held the soul-capturing bell in his left hand and the sword in his right hand. With one thought, he entered the realm of heaven and man in the sword way. The sword energy on his body rushed into the sky. With a thought, many phantoms appeared at the same time, and then soared into the sky, heading towards the direction of Song Boling at a terrifying speed.

Song Boling stared at Li Fan's figure and actually felt a sense of threat. The two Nascent Soul cultivators behind him stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right to protect him.
