Sword Aura to the Heavens-Chapter 262 - 257: Killing Demons

"Late Stage Foundation Establishment..."

Everyone’s gaze fell on Li Fan. Seeing him at such a young age, he was probably not yet twenty.

A cultivator in the Late Stage Foundation Establishment at not even twenty?

Such cultivation talent was already extraordinarily high.

"Impressive." Tan Yue and Yan Qingmeng were somewhat astonished, as Li Fan was much younger than them, yet his cultivation was even higher. They had previously thought Li Fan had an extraordinary aura, probably from a prestigious family, but still hadn’t expected his cultivation to be so advanced.

Moreover, he had just killed Chi Yu on the spot.

Many people hadn’t even reacted, when the old man behind Chi Yu roared in anger, and with a flash of golden light in his hand, charged at Li Fan.

Yet a tall figure stood up to block the way.

"Boom..."

The old man’s punch landed heavily on the tall figure, but it felt like hitting a wall of copper and iron, unmoving, as Huang Xiong’s Mysterious Technique protected him, and he reached out to grab the old man’s neck, lifting him into the air.

"Scum deserves to die." Huang Xiong exerted strength with his arm, and with a crack, the old man’s neck was directly snapped, his head lolling instantly.

"This..."

Tan Yue and Yan Qingmeng looked at Huang Xiong in astonishment. The big guy who had been following Li Fan was unexpectedly so strong?

It seemed just as they had guessed, he was probably a disciple from a big family out on a trial, heading to the West Sea Island, but unfortunately ran into these bandits.

After killing the old man, Huang Xiong swept his angry gaze towards Wenren Qiu and the Jiao Demon, finding both displeasing to the eye, and wanted to step forward.

"Brother Huang." Li Fan’s voice came from behind, stopping Huang Xiong’s urge, making him retreat and stand by Li Fan’s side, sweeping a cold gaze at the crowd.

Intending to target them?

Li Fan remained calmly seated there. Both opposing parties had cultivators in the Condensed Core Realm, and if Huang Xiong made a move, he would inevitably suffer losses, hence being stopped by him.

Wenren Qiu and the Jiao Demon also looked over to their side. Wenren Qiu was somewhat astonished by the group led by Li Fan, while the Jiao Demon revealed a playful look in his malevolent eyes.

Human genius?

He loved tormenting and killing human geniuses. Upon reaching the West Sea, regardless of how strong one’s background, without protection from a Great Cultivator, they would have to submit to him.

"The person is dead, does the transaction he mentioned still count?" The Jiao Demon looked at Wenren Qiu with a grin, a hint of playfulness in his tone, as in his eyes, these humans were already dead.

"If it counts, why don’t you help me bring that woman over? Maybe, I’ll consider it?" The Jiao Demon continued.

Li Fan glanced at the Jiao Demon, seemingly seeing a Demon Core.

Wenren Qiu did not respond. He knew the Jiao Demon wouldn’t let him leave alive; it was merely Chi Yu’s wishful thinking.

"Bang..."

A loud crash echoed as a corpse fell from above, followed by Wei Zhou descending from the outside. Wenren Qiu’s Condensed Core Realm guard had already been killed by him.

"Young Island Master, why waste time talking to him?" Wei Zhou said coldly, his gaze towards Wenren Qiu carrying a hint of killing intent.

"Just playing with these people. Those women, don’t kill them, leave them for me." The Jiao Demon pointed at Lu Yuan and Yue Qingqiu.

"If the Young Island Master likes, leave them and bring them back to the island then." Wei Zhou glanced at Li Fan’s group without too much concern, and continued walking towards Wenren Qiu: "I’ll send your head to the Prefecture, for your father to see."

"Everyone, you’ve seen the situation at hand. If we don’t join forces to slay these bandits, it’s us who will die. They won’t leave any survivors."

Wenren Qiu shouted to the crowd, who rose one by one, mana surging around them, abandoning any hope of luck.

"You can feast yourselves now." The Jiao Demon looked up at the many demons overhead, and a sharp laugh erupted from the group, as demon silhouettes charged at the people in the hall.

"Take action."

Someone shouted, spells erupted, and lightning and fire roared in the hall, a chaotic scene.

A wave of pressure blew towards Li Fan’s group.

His gaze remained fixed on the Jiao Demon, expressionless, as if looking at a corpse.

"Boom..." Just then, a Sea Demon wielding a giant fork stabbed towards Li Fan’s group, Huang Xiong stepped forward, grabbing the fork barehanded. The Sea Demon’s arm trembled, a wave surged towards Huang Xiong, but his grip on the opponent’s weapon remained unyielding, forcefully pulling the foe close, landing a violent punch on his head.

A blast rang out, blood splattering, the Sea Demon met a grisly end on the spot.

As demons continued to assail them, Huang Xiong alone guarded the front, exhibiting a stance akin to a lone defender. Currently, in the mid-Heavenly Gang Realm of martial arts, with his explosive power at this Fourth Realm level, few could rival him.

On the chaotic battlefield, more demons slaughtered towards their side, a flash of sword light slashed through demons, it was the sword of Sun Zhao beside him.

"Mr. Yang, it’s dangerous here, let’s follow Sun." Yan Qingmeng looked at Li Fan from behind Sun Zhao.

"Thank you." Li Fan said.

"Watch out," Tan Yue shouted, and a giant sharp weapon rushed towards Sun Zhao, who slashed down with his sword, colliding with the opponent’s weapon, only to get stuck in it. Upon closer inspection, it turned out the weapon was a giant crab claw.

A Crab Demon was entirely covered in armor, its narrow eyes staring at them, with another arm suddenly attacking Sun Zhao, the huge crab claw aiming to snip off Sun Zhao’s head.

A gust of wind tore through space, and a storm appeared on Sun Zhao’s blade, this terrifying whirlwind breaking through the hall. His sword moved with the storm, scraping against the opponent’s crab claw as it slashed down, with terrifying sword intent merging into the storm.

Ssssss...

The Crab Demon was slashed back, making a sharp sound, its body transforming into a half-demon form, looking extremely hideous and terrifying.

Yan Qingmeng softly said, "Sun combines sword techniques with spell, a very domineering style. Stick with us, see if we can fight our way out for a chance to leave."

The current situation was passive; they were at an absolute disadvantage. If they continued fighting, it might be a dead-end. Many cultivators had already fought while retreating and were looking for an opportunity to abandon the ship and leave.

"Buzz..."

The Crab Demon’s body became extremely large, the giant crab claw thrusting towards Sun Zhao. Sun Zhao said, "Step back a bit."

For cultivators of the Fifth Realm, it’s difficult to maneuver here.

The storm lifted everything around, Sun Zhao’s body surged forward, his sword conjuring a gale, battling with the Crab Demon.

"Young Master, shall I help you bring them here?" The Mystic Turtle beside the Jiao Demon spoke.

"Alright." The Jiao Demon nodded, and then the Old Demon came towards Li Fan, with water flowing around his body, transforming into a giant water python heading towards Lu Yuan.

"Careful..." Yan Qingmeng saw the roaring water python rolling towards Li Fan and shouted.

But when the water python neared Li Fan, it suddenly froze into ice, forming a giant ice python mid-air.

"Hmm?" The Old Demon glanced at Yue Qingqiu beside Li Fan, wondering, is this woman a demon?

A chilling coldness invaded, causing the Old Demon to shiver.

"Fifth Realm?" The battle here caught many people’s attention; that beautiful woman was Fifth Realm?

"The Young Master is fortunate." The Old Demon smiled, yet his body charged forward, his massive palm raised, markings appearing in his palm, and immense power descended, heading towards Li Fan.

Yue Qingqiu suddenly appeared in front of the Old Demon, her jade hand extended, directly meeting the Old Demon’s palm. A great force transmitted, and Yue Qingqiu was shaken back by the terrifying power, but when the palm hit the Old Demon, he felt a coldness sinking into his marrow.

At this moment, Li Fan stood up, stepping towards the Jiao Demon.

"Mr. Yang..." Yan Qingmeng watched Li Fan’s actions, somewhat puzzled.

The Jiao Demon was also surprised, with interest, glanced at Li Fan, still seated there, smiled, and said, "Cut off his head."

"Yes, Young Master." Several voices simultaneously sounded, and several figures rushed towards Li Fan.

A flash of light appeared, like a lightning bolt; it was sword light.

Blood splattered, and those figures attacking instantly fell with heads severed.

"Sword Cultivator, what a fast sword..." Yan Qingmeng watched Li Fan, unable to even see Li Fan draw his sword.

"Hmm?" The Jiao Demon showed a hint of surprise, seeing Li Fan’s gaze fixed on him, saying, "The Four Realm Demon Core, a bit low-grade, but barely useful."

This Jiao Demon was a Four Realm Demon.

Upon hearing Li Fan’s words, the Jiao Demon’s eyes turned ferocious, saying, "Kill him."

Above Li Fan’s head, demons rushed at him.

Li Fan moved, suddenly creating numerous afterimages, like avatars, all wielding swords, their strikes like thunder.

Thud, thud, thud...

Heads of demons flew, landing in various corners, between thoughts, those attacking demons were all slain.

"Such a domineering Sword Cultivator."

Many were attracted by Li Fan’s sword, wondering how someone so young had mastered such swordsmanship?

Even Wei Zhou halted his fighting to glance at Li Fan, asking, "Who might you be?"

Being so young with such stunning swordsmanship indicates he isn’t an ordinary individual.

It seemed the ship had more than just Wenren Qiu with high status.

"You’re not worthy to know." Li Fan responded, holding his sword, moving forward.

At this moment, a ferocious demon stood before the Jiao Demon, glaring at Li Fan, holding a trident, with demon energy roaring.

"Fifth Realm Demon."

Li Fan looked at the demon before him. After entering Late Stage Foundation Establishment, this realm was invincible for him. He wondered if he could contend against Solidifying Pill?
