Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 344: Sword Discussion
Liu Zonglin looked at Li Fan with a smile and some appreciation in his eyes.

Facing the world-famous top swordsman, as a younger generation, he remained neither humble nor overbearing, and made a name for himself for Lishan.

After all, Lishan is the world's number one sword-fighting holy land. The representative figure who once traveled the world under Lishan was Canglan Jian, and the world-famous Wen Jianshou was also one of them.

Nowadays, Li Fan should have inherited the mantle of Canglan Sword, and his style is no less than that of Canglan Sword in the past.

“The warriors from Lishan are so powerful. It makes my sword cultivators from Xihuang Island seem incompetent.” The island master of Xihuang Island spoke lightly, as if mocking himself, with a somewhat displeased expression.

He practiced hard in seclusion for many years and taught a group of disciples, all of whom were talented swordsmen.

Lan Li was not weak in talent and had strong fighting ability, but he was defeated by Huang Xiong, which made him somewhat embarrassed. After all, Huang Xiong was just a warrior.

"You are wrong, senior." Li Fan responded, "The sword cultivators of Xihuang Island are extremely talented. I naturally admire them. I have fought side by side with Brother Yuwen before, and we have a mutual respect. The island master is even more talented and will surely be famous all over the world, but..."

The island master of Xihuang Island looked a little relieved when he heard this, but as soon as the two words came out, his eyes darkened, and he listened to Li Fan continue: "It's just that Lishan has been famous for thousands of years, and there are so many amazing talents. In the world of Dali, who can compare with Lishan? You don't have to mind losing to Lishan's disciples."

"Humph."

The owner of Xihuang Island snorted coldly, seemingly complimenting Xihuang Island, but in the end he was actually talking about Lishan.

"It's true that Lishan has been famous for thousands of years, but is the Lishan today still the same Lishan as before?" Kong Zhou, who was sitting nearby, looked at Li Fan and spoke calmly.

The fact that Lishan is weak is known to everyone in the world, otherwise the court would not dare to take action against Lishan.

"Senior, if you question Lishan, aren't you questioning Xihuang Island?" Li Fan looked at Kong Zhou and replied. Kong Zhou was stunned and speechless. The sword cultivators of Xihuang Island were not as good as the disciples of Lishan. If you say that Lishan is not good, then the sword cultivators of Xihuang Island are even worse?

"Let's talk about Lishan. Let's not talk about its glory in the past. Even now, the imperial court sent a large army to attack Lishan, but they were repelled. Now Lishan is still safe and sound. During the trip to Chixiao City, Li Chengying, the fifth-ranked sword cultivator in the world, tried to bully me, but was killed by my master. My master taught me the world's number one sword, Xuanyuan Sword, and gave me three swords. The sword that killed Jiuying this time was one of them."

Li Fan continued: "Is this the decline of Lishan? In this world of Dali, who else can withstand two strikes of Xuanyuan Sword?"

Li Fan's words caused the banquet to fall silent for a moment.

Master Li Fan is the boundless swordsman.

It is unclear whether the Boundless Sword Master is still there.

But the two blows of Xuanyuan Sword are enough to overwhelm half of the world of Dali. Who dares to withstand the sword of Xuanyuan?
"What's more, there are many great practitioners of the Seventh Realm in Lishan. Who else in the world can compare to them except the imperial court?" Li Fan raised his voice and continued, "What people call the decline of Lishan is relative to Lishan. Even if Lishan declines, it can still suppress any force outside the imperial court of Dali."

Falling away from the mountain?

Li Fan's words were telling the people present to recognize themselves and recognize Li Shan.

The decline of Lishan is not something that anyone can point fingers at.

There was a moment of silence at the banquet. Many young sword cultivators looked at Li Fan with a hint of fighting spirit in their eyes. They also knew that what Li Fan said was true. It was because Lishan was famous throughout the world and was the number one sword sanctuary in Dali that all the sword cultivators in the world wanted to suppress the sword cultivators of Lishan.

Back then, when the imperial court attacked Lishan, it was the same when the sword cultivators from Lingxiao Pavilion climbed Lishan to ask for swords.

"Leaving the mountain..."

At this time, a whisper was heard. Gu Jinghong, who had been silent all this time, gently held the wine glass in his hand, then looked up at Li Fan: "Do you know what Lishan once meant to the sword cultivators in the world?"

"Please give me some advice, senior." Li Fan replied.

"The pinnacle of swordsmanship."

Gu Jinghong stared at Li Fan with a sharp look in his eyes, and continued, "Secular people think that Lishan is a place where demons are slain, but for sword cultivators, Lishan is the pinnacle of the sword path in the world of Dali, and it is the mountain that all sword cultivators in the world want to cross. In those days, there were two kinds of sword cultivators in the world, one was Lishan sword cultivators, and the other was other sword cultivators."

"What you said just now is also correct. Lishan is in decline, which is relative to Lishan. However, Lishan is indeed in decline. Is the most famous swordsman in the world still called Lishan Swordsman?"

Li Fan stared at Gu Jinghong, speechless for a moment.

In this regard, he had to admit that Lishan had indeed declined.

"You just mentioned the Xuanyuan Sword. It is known as the best sword in the world. If in a few years, the top swordsman standing at the top of the world still does not have the name of Lishan swordsman, then, is Lishan still Lishan?" Gu Jinghong seemed to be muttering, and seemed to be asking other people.

After a moment of silence, Li Fan bowed slightly to Gu Jinghong and said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior. As a sword cultivator from Lishan, I will stand at the top of the world." Li Fan's voice was calm. The wind blew through his clothes. Gu Jinghong raised his head and looked at his face seriously. He saw the young man's confidence.

"I look forward to the day when I will reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship and become a swordsman in Lishan Mountain." Gu Jinghong replied.

"sit down."

The master of Xihuang Island stretched out his hand and said to Li Fan and others.

Li Fan nodded and walked forward with Lu Yuan, Huang Xiong and Yue Qingqiu. Liu Ji, Luo Qingyan and the other four were very conscious and did not step forward. Sword geniuses like Yuwen Jing were standing aside, so they were naturally not qualified to take a seat.

Li Fan, Lu Yuan and Huang Xiong are disciples of Lishan, and they are qualified.

As for Yue Qingqiu, she didn't understand the ways of the world, so she sat down with Li Fan.

"When Canglan Jian was young, he was also very talented and had the best talent in swordsmanship in the world. Now, you can see some of his talent in you." The owner of Xihuang Island looked at Li Fan and said.

"Senior, do you know my master?" Li Fan asked.

"Many years ago, I broke through and became a peak swordsman of the sixth realm, one step away from the seventh realm. That year, the snowstorm swept the capital, and I went to the capital to learn about the way of the sword. The capital of Dali is full of heroes, but I am quite confident in my own swordsmanship, and I also wonder if I can become a world-famous swordsman. That year, I was discussing swordsmanship with someone in the capital, and I met a young man. I was not as good as him in the discussion. Since then, I have left my hometown and came to this West Sea to practice in seclusion." The owner of Xihuang Island has let go of the past and said, "The young man's name is Zuo Canglan."

Li Fan was stunned. The owner of Xihuang Island actually had such a past?
The sword cultivators from Xihuang Island all around were quite shocked and looked at their master in surprise. Their master also had such a past?
Moreover, Master actually said it in public.

Li Fan also looked at the owner of Xihuang Island in surprise, and his impression of the swordsman in front of him changed greatly. The fact that he could say this matter in public showed that the owner of Xihuang Island was not as broad-minded as he thought.

"Master never mentioned these past events to me." Li Fan said. During his growing up, the old blind man never mentioned his past.

Even before he went down the mountain, he had no idea of ​​the old blind man's past glory.

But from those bits and pieces, one can still see the figure of a young swordsman who was once extremely handsome and brilliant.

"There were quite a few people at that sword fight. Perhaps your master didn't know me." The island master of Xihuang Island said, "Now, I want to have another fight with him."

"There will be a chance." Li Fan responded with a smile. The Resurrection Tree has been sent to Lishan. The old blind man will surely be able to repair his soul. In the near future, the Canglan Sword will reappear in the world.

"Senior, did you invite me to Xihuang Island?" Li Fan asked.

"Of course, I want you to come and ask for swordsmanship, so that you can learn from the style of swordsmen from Xihuang Island." The island master of Xihuang Island looked at Li Fan and said, "My disciples are all worried about the Demon Slaying Conference. Now that you have a chance, you must not let them down."

After that, he looked at Gu Jinghong again and said, "Now the monks of the West Sea are waiting in the area around Xihuang Island. It's time for you and me to start now."

Those who practice cultivation in the West Sea area come to the West Sea to witness the battle between the two top swordsmen with their own eyes.

Li Fan felt something strange when he heard the words of the island master of Xihuang Island. The sword-asking event on Xihuang Island was decided many days ago, but it started after he arrived, as if it was waiting for his arrival.

"Today I'm going to ask about the sword. After you've read it, you can go back and tell Zuo Canglan that if he can recover one day, I will go to Lishan in person." The owner of Xihuang Island said to Li Fan again.

This made Li Fan even more certain that the other party was indeed waiting for him, and after he arrived, he began to ask about the sword.

"Let's start." Gu Jinghong also said.

Two beams of light shot straight into the sky and reached high above in an instant.

The wind and clouds above the sky changed rapidly, and a terrifying sword intent enveloped the boundless land. Even the vast Xihuang Island was under the two sword intents.

At this moment, countless practitioners inside and outside Xihuang Island looked up at the sky, feeling their hearts surging.

Liu Zonglin, the Palace Master of the Western Emperor Palace, stood up, raised his head and gazed up into the sky, laughing loudly and saying, "Today I witnessed two top-level great sword masters asking sword questions. This is a great pleasure in life and a rare opportunity. Watch carefully and don't miss it."

Li Fan and Lu Yuan also looked up.

When he came to the appointment today, he saw two top sword masters, both of whom had extraordinary spirit.
