This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 609 - 78: The 1st victory_2

In his hand appeared a blazing red long sword, and then he quickly dashed toward the center of the Sea of Clouds Realm like lightning.

“Ah, what is this kid up to?!” Xi Xiang couldn’t help but frown, initially unable to comprehend Lu Qingshan’s actions before reassuring himself, “This kid is a killing machine with rich experience in magical combat, he shouldn’t fail to see this, there must be another purpose…”

If Lu Qingshan knew Xi Xiang’s thoughts, he might have felt quite wronged.

Because he truly didn’t have any other intention; he was simply patrolling, hoping to find Li Feng’s drop point, or to let Li Feng find his location.

To him, either option didn’t make much of a difference.

To locate someone, one must first find a midpoint and then radiate outwards.

Lu Qingshan merely enveloped a hundred zhang around himself with Divine Sense, instead of releasing it completely, because completely releasing it would consume too much Divine Sense.

Dozens of breaths later, just as Xi Xiang had gauged, because Lu Qingshan’s movements were too extensive, Li Feng discovered him before he found Li Feng.

Suddenly, there was a sharp whistling sound of breaking wind.

The next instant, Li Feng, carrying his Dharma Aspect, burst through the clouds in an unstoppable manner, appearing behind Lu Qingshan and chopping down at him.

Li Feng’s strike was swift and fierce, the blade densely covered with blade Qi.

The crowd before the Zhao Wall immediately emitted a gasp of shock.

They were all too aware of what such a fierce strike implied for a Sword Cultivator.

Among the countless widened eyes, Lu Qingshan, who seemed to be in a perilous situation, responded as if he had a divine eye on the back of his head, perfectly blocking Li Feng’s aggressive slash with a backhand swipe.

Clang!

The sword’s edge and the blade’s edge contacted, producing a crisp sound of jade striking jade.

The Sword Qi from the sword’s edge and the blade Qi from the blade’s edge also clashed and collided, shattering and tearing the surrounding clouds.

In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged nearly ten rounds of close combat in a tiny space.

Li Feng wielded his broadsword with great, sweeping gestures, while Lu Qingshan moved as swiftly as a dragon, his figure so quick it became blurred, with only the occasional sounds of metal striking metal heard.

Finally, in a resounding crash of true metallic collision, Li Feng’s figure was forced to retreat several zhang backwards.

Lu Qingshan, however, stood unmoved in his initial position.

Li Feng looked at Lu Qingshan warily, or more precisely, at the Dragon Sparrow in Lu Qingshan’s hand.

The sword moves were light and agile, the saber moves were heavy and solid.

Judging by strength alone, he could feel that Lu Qingshan was likely not as strong as himself.

The reason this direct confrontation, which he initiated, ended with him at a disadvantage was because the sword in Lu Qingshan’s hands was far superior in quality to the one in his own, as if it possessed great power.

In other words, he was at a disadvantage because of the magic artifact.

Pseudo Dao Artifact.

Li Feng’s eyes flickered as he recalled the evaluation of Lu Qingshan’s Life-bound Sword on the Yellow List.

However, while he was still pondering in his mind, Lu Qingshan had already charged at him with the sword.

Sword Cultivator, against the so-called king of close combat, the Body Cultivator, initiated close-quarters combat.

This was like a taunt, igniting an endless fighting spirit in Li Feng’s eyes.

Massive Spiritual Power roared out as he gripped his broadsword tightly, infinite blade Qi appearing above the blade like a trained dragon, containing extremely violent and sharp fluctuations that were impressively formidable, furiously chopping down at Lu Qingshan.

The blade’s path stirred up a ferocious whirlwind, pushing the dense Sea of Clouds apart on either side.

It truly carried the momentum of a single strike splitting water.

During the slashing process, the blade Qi forming the trained dragon left the blade, covering the sky and earth as it enveloped Lu Qingshan’s position.

Before the tournament began in the arena, the Marquis of Nanming had thoroughly briefed Li Feng on several cultivators worth noting.

As Lu Qingshan, ranked third as a hypothetical formidable enemy, had naturally received special attention.

“Sword Technique is exceptional, combat awareness is outstanding, and during close combat, he possesses an almost omniscient ability, making single-target attacks ineffective; very likely it’s because of the Divine Foresight of Causality True Intent.”

In the previous brief exchanges, Lu Qingshan seemed to also manifest this ability, narrowly evading his attacks several times.

Thus, the slash Li Feng made carried along a long river of blade Qi, an unavoidable group attack technique.

Of course, such a technique is extremely consuming of Spiritual Power.

But Li Feng knew well that against a formidable opponent like Lu Qingshan, he couldn’t afford to be overly cautious.

Victory was already difficult to achieve, why even think of conserving Spiritual Power?

————-

Before the Zhao Wall, Xue Hanfeng already had a solemn expression.

He had previously been defeated by Li Feng’s combination of Lion’s Roar and the long river of blade Qi.

Therefore, he was all too familiar with the power of this specific technique of blade Qi.

Of course, compared to the attack methods of Sword Cultivators, the long river of blade Qi still paled in comparison.

The problem was, Lu Qingshan was a Sword Cultivator, physically frail!

And although he was reluctant to admit it, he could not deny that not being skilled in External Sword made him somewhat apprehensive about such close-combat skirmishes.

If Xue Hanfeng felt such trepidation, not to mention those less notable cultivators watching, each one of them felt their hearts pound, as if they were in the midst of the battle, their palms and backs sweating profusely.

The real participant, Lu Qingshan, faced the overwhelming assault of the long river of blade Qi with a spark of brilliance flashing in his eyes.

Contrary to Li Feng’s assumption, he had not used Divine Foresight at all.

The reason he had accurately and narrowly dodged Li Feng’s attacks was entirely due to his own reflexes and combat skills—if he had truly used Divine Foresight, Li Feng’s attacks would likely have all missed completely.
