Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 211 Is this the reason?
Li Ziyou, seemingly completely unprepared for Lin Xiufeng's intervention to save Li Dong, frowned unhappily and stared at Lin Xiufeng, saying:

"You won't help me, but you're going to help them?"

Li Dong and his companions were terrified; they never dreamed that the King of Freedom would kill anyone. They were stunned and then stammered, pleading:

"Where have I offended the Free King? I apologize and make amends. Please have mercy and don't kill me."

Lin Xiufeng looked at Li Ziyou with a puzzled expression and asked:

"The sudden attack was perplexing."

Li Ziyou said unhappily, "Didn't I say? He ruined a good time."

Lin Xiufeng recalled Li Ziyou's previous reason for not revealing his identity: he said that if he knew who Li Ziyou was, they wouldn't be able to get along happily.

Li Dong happened to have met Li Ziyou before, and upon meeting him, he exclaimed in surprise at his nickname, "King of Freedom."

Therefore, the reason is clear...

But to kill someone for this reason is at least one more excuse than turning the world upside down.

Li Dong was completely baffled!

He was almost in tears, and hurriedly apologized, saying:
"I don't know what I said wrong or if I shouldn't have stared at the Free King, but it's all my fault, and I apologize!"

"I apologize, I was really wrong! Please, King of Freedom, have mercy!"

Li Ziyou frowned even more, his tone revealing disgust.

"To this day, I still don't know why I was wrong, yet I have the nerve to admit my mistake and beg for forgiveness!"

"If you're really someone like me, killing you any later will only make me feel worse!"

Just as Li Ziyou was about to make his move, Lin Xiufeng urgently called out:

"Wait!"

Li Ziyou glared angrily at Lin Xiufeng and said:

"You help him but not me, which means you value him more than me."

"You've ruined my mood so much, aren't you forcing me to kill you too?"

Lin Xiufeng smiled and said, "I just want to say that you don't really need to, because whether you are the King of Freedom or not makes no difference to me and will not affect our drinking mood."

Li Ziyou laughed heartily, pointing at Lin Xiufeng as he laughed, then gently pointing at Xu Xiaoqing, and said:

"Did you hear that?"

"Tell him how many times he's heard such things since he's been with me?"

Xu Xiaoqing replied in a gentle voice:
"That should be eight times."

Li Ziyou's smile gradually faded, and he continued:

"Tell him what happened to the previous eight people who said such things. What became of them?"

Xu Xiaoqing continued softly:

"At first they were cheerful, but before long, they would either cry about their grievances, or cry because they had been bullied, or they would use the name of the King of Freedom to bully others..."

"The most despicable one pretended to have no other desires for more than three months, but in the end he was exposed."

"These eight people were all dealt with by the Free King."

Li Ziyou sneered at Lin Xiufeng and asked, "Are you prepared to be the ninth person she knows who deserves to die?"

Lin Xiufeng smiled and said:
"I don't think I'll be the ninth one, because I feel that no matter who I am, you'd probably be willing to drink with me without a care in the world, right?"

"Oh?" Li Ziyou understood and his curiosity was piqued as well.

"So, who are you? How dare you be so confident that you don't care about me, Li Ziyou?"

"My name is Lin Xiufeng." Lin Xiufeng was still smiling.

Li Ziyou was slightly taken aback, looking him up and down with considerable disbelief, but doubting his bluff, he pressed for an answer:
"The leader of the anti-heaven faction, the head of the Youlin Feiyue Gang, Lin Xiufeng?"

"Yes, it's me." Lin Xiufeng's confirmation turned Li Dong's fear into shock.

So, he actually spent so long chatting with the real Lin Xiufeng on the boat, and even taught the anti-Heaven leader Lin Xiufeng how to row a boat?

No wonder, no wonder he dared to save him in front of the Free King! If he weren't one of the seven great masters, how could he dare to save someone in front of the Free King?
Xu Xiaoqing's eyes lit up, both surprised and delighted.

Li Dong's girlfriend and two female friends, though initially surprised, soon looked gloomy.

The man they had previously longed for was none other than Lin Xiufeng, the leader of the rebellion against Heaven, a man of divine might…

Then, how could they possibly have any hope left...?

Li Ziyou laughed heartily and said, "Great!"

"If you were Lin Xiufeng, then he certainly wouldn't have ruined a good time."

"However, words are not enough!"

Lin Xiufeng smiled and asked in return, "So?"

Li Ziyou gathered his Heavenly Martial Power, gripped a silver Heavenly Martial Sword in his hand, and laughed:
"Whether it is or not, let's try it and see the truth!"

Lin Xiufeng originally had no interest in wasting his Heavenly Martial Power, but seeing that he used agile fighting style, he became interested.

Because that means that the star acupoints that Li Ziyou cultivates may be similar to his.

Li Ziyou's unique skills provided Lin Xiufeng with a basis for using them.

"To avoid accidentally injuring others, why not find a more open space?"

Lin Xiufeng's suggestion elicited a hearty laugh from Li Ziyou.

"If we take action, why would they let this opportunity pass them by?"

Lin Xiufeng thought to himself, "That makes sense. If I were a free man on one of the surrounding ships, I wouldn't miss the chance to absorb the Heavenly Martial Power and watch the masters spar."

Lin Xiufeng leaped onto the water, his feet enveloped in black light, floating on the surface, the black Heavenly Martial Sword in his hand.

"please--"

Li Ziyou laughed, his feet treading on silver light, and suddenly accelerated, thrusting his sword forward like a whirlwind!
'Wow, that's fast! It must be a ten-star Great Gale system!'

Lin Xiufeng quickly retreated, buying himself more time to react, and blocked the silver sword's thrust with his own sword.

The Heavenly Martial Souls watching the battle couldn't see their movements at all, and only now did they realize that the Free King's attack had been blocked by the Anti-Heaven Leader!

Li Ziyou smiled wryly and said to Lin Xiufeng:

"Don't you know that the Free King is unstoppable?"

"Hmm?" Lin Xiufeng was unaware of the mystery, but he saw the Heavenly Martial Power within Li Ziyou's body, forming a brightness with an astonishing concentration, being transmitted to the Heavenly Martial Sword.

The length and thickness of that silver longsword instantly increased twofold!

Lin Xiufeng's black Heavenly Martial Sword, unable to withstand the surge of power from Li Ziyou's Heavenly Martial Sword, broke in the middle because the Heavenly Martial power could not be replenished in time!

To onlookers, the black Heavenly Martial Sword was pierced by the silver light that burst forth from Li Ziyou's silver sword, and the silver light also pierced through Lin Xiufeng's chest!

Li Ziyou wore a victor's smile. He had never submitted to anyone. He had never fought against Lin Xiufeng, the Peerless Sword Saint, or Qin Yong, the seven new masters.

As a result, even Lin Xiufeng couldn't withstand his special skill.

Li Ziyou was very proud.

The silver sword, which had instantly grown to more than twice its original length, broke the black Heavenly Martial Sword in an instant and pierced Lin Xiufeng's body.

Those watching were all taken aback, never expecting Lin Xiufei to be so easily defeated in front of the King of Freedom.

With a gentle gesture, Xu Xiaoqing's eyes widened in surprise and disbelief.

But after Lin Xiufeng was struck by the sword, he realized that Li Ziyou had used his ultimate move as soon as they met, showing no mercy whatsoever!
While Lin Xiufeng was amazed by the power of this special move, he was also furious.

'I'll teach you a lesson!'

Lin Xiufeng reacted instantly, not retreating but accelerating forward, letting the silver sword penetrate even deeper.

Li Ziyou instinctively stepped back and swung his sword, trying to cut open Lin Xiufeng's body.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xiufeng's two black Heavenly Martial Swords sandwiched the silver sword from both sides, rendering it unable to move.

With only a momentary delay, Lin Xiufeng raised his knee and struck Li Ziyou in the abdomen!
