Chapter 1393: Defeating the Second Elder
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Looking at the second elder, Qingfeng Li's face turned dark with grimness. He had not expected the old man could have gained insight of fist intent. No wonder he was so overbearing.
"Qingfeng Li, I will see if you can block my fist intent," looking at Qingfeng Li, the second elder said chillingly.
He swung out his fist, exploding a big hole in the air and crashing towards Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li found that he was emerged in a sea of flames, which was trying to burn him into charcoal.
With a snort, Qingfeng Li said, "Do you think I am afraid of your fist intent? Today I will show you my sword intent."
Klang!
With a thought, he drew out his Fire Emperor Sword and pointed it abruptly at the second elder.
"Fire Sword Intent." Qingfeng Li began channeling the Fire Emperor Sword technique and shot out the sword intent along his meridians. The sword intent directly engulfed the second elder as it condensed into countless strands of fiery sword intent around him.
Those red sword intent strands formed high mountains, wide rivers, and rocks around the second elder.
The second elder was shocked, saying, "Sword intent! You have gained insight of the legendary sword intent!"
Among the many self-cultivation techniques, including that of the sword, the saber, the fists, the palms, and the legs, the most difficult one to master was sword intent.
Swords were called the emperor of weapons since they had the most powerful attack power, but very few people could gain insight of sword intent.
No one had imagined that Qingfeng Li would have gained insight of sword intent, and the extent of his insight was much greater than the second elder's own comprehension of fist intent.
The second elder had only gained insight of thirty percent of fist intent while Qingfeng Li had mastered fifty percent of sword intent.
Qingfeng Li slashed his sword forward with a blazing fire sword energy hotter than before. With a sharp golden aura, the sword cut the second elder's fist intent into two halves, which quickly dissipated in the air.
"Fire Emperor Sword Technique." Qingfeng Li stabbed the Fire Emperor Sword forward and conjured a fire dragon which contained a strand of the godly dragon's aura formed from the dragon blood in his body.
With great speed, the fire dragon flew before the second elder instantly, leaving him no time to dodge.
"Protective light shield." With a shout, the second elder channeled his fire-element vital essence and formed a red vital essence protective light shield around his body.
Formed with fire-element vital essence, the powerful protective light shield was over two meters high and shielded the second elder completely.
With a cold smile, Qingfeng Li hacked his sword onto the protective light shield, causing a crack to appear.
Crack!
The protective light shield shattered and then vanished.
Qingfeng Li's Fire Emperor Sword continued its attack and stabbed at the second elder's heart.
The second elder's expression changed, not expecting Qingfeng Li would be so vicious that he would try to kill him with one sword strike.
"Fire treasure armor!" With a shout, the second elder activated the armor he was wearing.
It was a powerful red fourth level emperor-grade treasure armor. Made with the fur of emperor-grade demonic beasts, there were no more than five such armors in the whole Blaze Sect and the second elder had one of them.
Qingfeng Li's sword stabbed onto the Blaze Armor with a crisp sound and the second elder retreated five steps before he regained his balance. But of course, he was not wounded, thanks to the protection of the Blaze Armor.
Qingfeng Li frowned with dissatisfaction. He had thought the attack would kill the second elder, but it was blocked by the powerful treasure armor.
The watching self-cultivators were stunned at what they saw, disbelief in their eyes.
"What did I see?! Qingfeng Li actually defeated the second elder, a fourth level Spirit Emperor Realm master."
"Yeah, Qingfeng Li is so powerful!."
"Yeah, I'm afraid I'm no match for Qingfeng Li either."
The watching self-cultivators talked among themselves, eyes full of shock and awe.
Strong fighters were respected wherever they went and Qingfeng Li gained more respect since he had defeated a master of the older generation at such a young age.
Hearing the comments of the watching self-cultivators, the second elder's face turned livid.
In his seventies, the second elder was a well-known master in Huaxia's self-cultivation world. He had swept over Huaxia, defeating many masters dozens of years ago, and he had turned into hermit in the last ten years. He had not expected he would be defeated by Qingfeng Li, which was a great blow to the Blaze Sect's reputation.
Qingfeng Li waved his hand at the second elder, saying indifferently, "You are too weak."
With his face darkened, the second elder took one step forward and swung his fist at Qingfeng Li once again, trying to redeem his honor.
Indifferently, Qingfeng Li slashed forward his Fire Emperor Sword, the sharp sword intent shattering the second elder's fist intent. The sword continued its charge and forced the second elder back again.
Seeing the second elder was no match for Qingfeng Li, Huo Leng, the sect master of the Blaze Sect said, "Second elder, stop your attacks. You are no match for him; let me deal with him."
The leader of the Blaze Sect decided to kill Qingfeng Li personally and win back the lost honor of his sect.
The Blaze Sect had its origin during the ancient era where it had been a well-known sect in the self-cultivation world.
But it was destroyed in the great war of the ancient era by the invading Saints, with only a handful of disciples surviving.
They hid in a corner of the Earth and left some fragments of their techniques, with which the leader of the Blaze Sect had cultivated and reached the Spirit Emperor Realm.
The Blaze Sect showed its face again at the selection for the alliance chief of Huaxia's self-cultivation world because they wanted to gain the title and access to the great self-cultivation resources in Huaxia. Equipped with these resources, they could open the forbidden district of self-cultivation and shatter the dimension barrier so they could enter the high-tier planets.
Earth was in a decline with exhausted vital essence and few spiritual devices. All the resources for cultivation such as vitality stones, spirit stones, herbs, spirit fruits, and spiritual treasures were scarce, polluted, or newly-formed.
According to the leader of the Blaze Sect, a cultivator had to leave Earth if he or she wanted to become a saint or an immortal.
