Deng Deng!!
Qingfeng Li took two steps back. His face was slightly pale, and his right hand was trembling.
"The Green Mountain Sword Technique is indeed strong, even forcing me back." Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows in surprise.
Qingfeng Li realized he made a mistake by looking down at the Sword Emperor Sect's sword technique. He had thought that he would easily defeat his opponent if he used his Strangle Hell Fist and Fire Emperor Sword. Clearly, he had thought wrong.
Qingfeng Li was surprised, but the third elder was even more surprised.
Normally, whenever the Third Elder used the Green Mountain Sword Technique, his offensive powers would increase by two folds and he would kill his enemies in one strike.
But now, he had only forced back Qingfeng Li by two steps. This result infuriated him.
At this scene, the surrounding self-cultivators all began to whisper, "Qingfeng Li really is powerful. He didn't even die by the Third Elder's Sword Emperor Sect's sword technique!"
Qingfeng Li's body was steady, but his eyes were rolling around. He realized that he was at a disadvantage. Although he had the Fire Emperor Sword, it was only an emperor level spiritual treasure without a sword technique.
Back when he received the Fire Emperor Sword, he didn't learn any sword techniques. And although he knew the Golden Light Sword Technique and the Volcanic Sword Technique, they were both limited to the Golden Light Sword. Using those techniques with the Fire Emperor Sword was impossible.
Qingfeng Li examined the Fire Emperor Sword, hoping to find an answer. The Fire Emperor Sword was given to him by the Fire Emperor of the Fire Planet, one of the 3000 grand worlds. Qingfeng Li's intuition told him that within the Fire Emperor Sword, there was definitely a hidden sword technique.
The surface of the Fire Emperor Sword dazzled with a red light, emitting a fiery aura that circled its body repeatedly. The sword was carved with a nine-flame pattern, evenly spread along its body.
Qingfeng Li focused his gaze, transmitting his spirit energy into the Fire Emperor Sword. He discovered that the fifth flame was slightly different from the rest. There seemed to be a small person within the flame.
As Qingfeng Li's spirit energy entered the sword, it was as if he had gone into a strange space. It was a fiery dimension, surrounded by eternal red flames reminiscent of little suns.
Luckily for Qingfeng Li, his spirit energy was incredibly powerful, and on top of that, he possessed the Golden Flames. These were the only reasons why he didn't get burned alive under the torrid conditions.
Qingfeng Li's spirit energy entered the Fire Emperor Sword, but his physical body remained standing.
At the sight of Qingfeng Li standing still, the third elder didn't know how to react. He wasn't sure what Qingfeng Li was planning.
Within the fiery dimension, a small red human held a long red sword, flourishing it endlessly. It was a sword technique called the <>.
With the small human's every move, a ray of red flame was unleashed into the air. The red fire would sometimes transform into a tall mountain, sometimes a river, sometimes an elephant, and sometimes a lion.
After the small human completed its four sword techniques, it gave Qingfeng Li a look before disappearing into a ball of flame as well.
Qingfeng Li had just been shown a set of sword techniques. Their names were the Fire Mountain, the Fire River, the Fire Elephant, and the Fire Lion.
Following the small human's movements, Qingfeng Li used his spirit energy and began to practice within the fire dimension.
He used his spirit energy to form a fire longsword. Holding it, he followed the small human's movements and began flourishing it. He struck the sword forward, but it didn't form into a mountain. He only managed to create a rock.
It was a difficult feat to form a tall mountain using fire sword energy. It required extreme accuracy from the swordsman's movements. Every detail had to be exact, and there was no room for error.
Although he failed the first time, he wasn't discouraged. He began trying to use the blazing sword energy to form a tall mountain once again.
The first try was a fail. The second try was a fail. The third try was also a fail...
Qingfeng Li was great at learning from his mistakes. After failing nine times, he discovered that he needed to use his talisman script knowledge to form a tall mountain. This was because talisman scripts contained the secret of fire, a power of the Heavenly Dao. Its every stroke carried an unbelievable strength.
Qingfeng Li had previously studied talisman scripts with Dark Night Emperor and was well-versed in fire scriptures.
On his tenth try, Qingfeng Li finally formed a Fire Mountain with his fire sword energy.
He was delighted by this accomplishment. He thought back to the sword technique used by the small human. It was a combination of the talisman script's offensive technique, the fire's powers, and the longsword's movements.
With the longsword in hand, Qingfeng Li continued to attack. He began to form a Fire River but failed to use it in his attack.
However, as he tried and tried again, Qingfeng Li slowly mastered the trick. Finally, on his eighth attempt, he unleashed the Fire River.
Immediately afterward, Qingfeng Li used the same trick to form the Fire Elephant and the Fire Lion.
Qingfeng Li was incredibly bright and was also very capable. In no time, he mastered all four sword skills of the Fire Emperor Sword Technique.
Time passed slower within the long sword. Qingfeng Li had spent an hour within the sword but in the real world, only a dozen seconds had elapsed.
Qingfeng Li knew that he needed to return to the real world quickly. He was still battling the third elder, and he would be in grave danger if the Third Elder figured out what he was doing.
Sure enough, the third elder began to catch on to Qingfeng Li's bizarre behavior. He had thought that Qingfeng Li was channeling some incredible technique, but after seven or eight seconds, Qingfeng Li remained standing, as still as a rock.
"Oh no, Qingfeng Li's learning a sword technique. I've been tricked. I need to kill him quickly." The Third Elder looked regretful as he finally realized what was happening.
As the third elder of the Sword Emperor Sect, he was definitely capable and incredibly intelligent. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made it to the Spirit Emperor Realm. Now that he realized he had been tricked, he felt nothing but regret.
"Qingfeng Li, die! You almost tricked me." Thoroughly enraged, the third elder swung out his Green Mountain Sword, creating two green mountain-shaped sword energy and smashing them towards Qingfeng Li to crush his body.
Just then, Qingfeng Li pulled out his spirit energy from the Fire Emperor Sword and returned it to his brain.
His eyes suddenly shot open, just as the sword energy green mountain came at him. He gave a cold sneer as his eyes looked completely unfazed.
"Perfect timing! I'll try out the powers of the Fire Emperor Sword on you." Qingfeng Li sneered as he struck out his Fire Emperor Sword, turning it into a Fire Mountain.
The Fire Mountain was incredibly tall, a full 4000 meters in height, equivalent to two of the third elder's sword energy green mountains. Plus, Qingfeng Li's Fire Mountain was made entirely of fire, burning as if it was a living volcano.
The Fire Emperor Sword also contained a red array talisman script, dazzling and exuding a torrid light.
