Chapter 71: The Strength of Luo Xin Yu

  "Good guys, these two wolf guards actually know how to cooperate, and the aquatic spiritual power is also used so skillfully." Yu Ji Hua couldn't help but praise.

  "En," Zhao Qianye nodded, "these two wolf guards are enough to match a ordinary small heavenly sword guest."

  "But they're just two beasts, Brother Shifu. You can handle the Wolf King, and I'll take care of these two wolf guards. Water-elemental spirit power is just what my fire-elemental sword energy needs to counter." Lie Feng's mouth curled up in disdain, and Huo Yun Jian quivered, emitting a clear and melodious sword hum.

  "Alright," a glint of sharp light flashed in Luoxin Yu's eyes as he stared at the Wolf King, saying: "Do you dare to fight me?"

  As a spiritual beast, its intelligence was no less than that of an ordinary human being. Let alone the wolf king, a second-tier racial overlord, who clearly understood the challenge posed by Luoxing Yu. At the same time, the two wolf guards beside him let out low, mournful howls in response to Lie Feng.

  Roar!

  The Wolf King let out a loud roar, as the king of its species, it naturally had an unapproachable dignity. The surrounding wolf pack retreated again, and soon the stone village path with a radius of over 20 meters centered on the Wolf King and two wolf guards was emptied. It seemed that they were going to engage in a life-and-death duel with Luoxing Yu and another person.

  At this moment, although the wolf king led the wolf pack to slaughter so many villagers in Langkou Village, but at this moment its courage that can be compared with a swordsman still made Lu Qing and others feel awe-inspiring. Although it was a different species, there was also something worth learning from it.

  Similarly, Lu Qing and others exchanged a glance, also retreating more than ten zhangs to the back, leaving the place for Luo Xin Yu and Zi Xia Jian. Or, at this moment, everyone wanted to see the moves of Luo Xin Yu, who was ranked first on the Dragon and Phoenix List. Lu Qing was also curious about Luo Xin Yu's purple-golden sword aura, wanting to see what kind of power he would truly unleash when he made his move. After all, in his heart, Luo Xin Yu, as the number one on the Dragon and Phoenix List, would be his strongest opponent four years later.

  At this moment, the middle-aged swordsman wearing a golden armor standing at the village gate was also staring with wide eyes. The brief battle had already given him a general idea of Lu Qing's group strength, and the result shocked him, because he found that except for Duan Qingyun, the other nine people's strength was at least that of a congenital swordsman who could launch sword energy attacks.

  What a powerful force, and each one is so young, especially the youth who just leaped from his side, wielding a giant sword. Not bad, judging by his age, he seems to be not yet an adult, at most 14 or 15 years old, and yet he is already a congenital swordsman. Who is this genius character that has emerged from the inner sect? He remembers that there was no matching description on the Dragon and Phoenix List he saw recently.

  At this time, the village path was left with only two wolves and three people. The two wolves came to one side, separating from the wolf king, their opponent being Lie Feng. And the wolf king, as a spiritual beast, its keen senses clearly felt the powerful strength hidden on Luoxin Yu's body that had not been released yet. A pair of beastly eyes vigilantly stared at Luoxin Yu, two front paws suddenly shooting out six flashing icy white frost claws, which were inserted into the ground without any obstruction. The wolf's muscles tensed up, its whole body seeming to have become a sharp sword ready to strike at any time, and it actually emitted a strong aura of sharpness.

  In the face of the Wolf King's display, Luo Xin Yu didn't show too much concern, instead he reached back and grabbed the hilt of the purple sword, slowly pulling it out inch by inch. As he moved, his aura grew stronger, a layer of purple-golden light floating on top of his white martial robes. The hilt rose, revealing the sword body that shone with a purple-golden light, covered in ancient and elegant sword markings. The markings rotated, forming a cloud-like pattern.

  "Zixia Sword! It's actually the Zixia Sword!" The middle-aged swordsman in the distance was shocked, he didn't expect that among these people there would be the first-ranked Zixia Sword of the Dragon and Phoenix List, Ling Xue. Zixia Sword, it is a sword described on the Dragon and Phoenix List, forged from purple fire iron and gold essence, it was the sword used by the sect master Luochengfeng back then, a ninth-grade sword.

  Later, Luo Qianfeng became the sect master and inherited the sect master's sword, Lieyang. This purple mist sword was passed down to Luo Xin Yu, who helped him reach the top of the Dragon and Phoenix List at the age of 19. Three years have passed since then, and no one has been able to shake his position.

  So, up to now, the long-term occupation of a high position has accumulated an invisible aura for Lu Xingyu. At this moment, when the Purple Cloud Sword is drawn out, his entire temperament changes to become majestic, and even Lu Qing's firm mind is affected to some extent. This is the majesty cultivated by people who have been in high positions for a long time, which is different from the aura of cultivation. When it is emitted, every word and action can take away the heart of those whose will is not firm.

  The Soul Refining Technique was activated, and the massive divine consciousness of the Soul Refining stage rotated, instantly calming the tremors in his heart. Soon, Lu Qing's eyes regained their clarity, and by this time, Luo Xue had already drawn her sword. With a swift movement, she soared into the air, and the purple-golden Purple Mist Sword burst forth with dazzling purple-golden sword energy, as if a blazing sun had suddenly risen in the sky, its fiery aura rapidly melting the snow on the ground.

  As if sensing a great threat, the Wolf King transformed into a white streak, its front paws carrying inch-long snow-white claws that swiped at Luoxing Yu's chest. The icy coldness of the claws and the fiery heat of Luoxing Yu's sword energy formed two distinct sides, sawing back and forth in mid-air. As the Wolf King moved, the icy coldness rapidly broke into Luoxing Yu's scorching aura, spreading towards him like a vine.

  "Be careful!" Duan Qingyun couldn't help but shout out loud.

  But then, Luoxin Yu's feet tapped empty air, and her entire body suddenly floated horizontally for several feet. At the same time, the Zixia sword extended a zhang-long purple-golden sword energy towards the Wolf King's neck to behead him. This sword move was beyond everyone's expectations. Luoxin Yu's speed was as fast as lightning, and the Wolf King, who was in mid-air, couldn't dodge it at all. The wolf's body tilted to one side, and its claws protruded with a foot-long sharp claw to block in front of its body.

  Clang——

  The sword energy and wolf claws intersected, emitting a metallic ringing sound. Feeling the icy aura transmitted from the Purple Mist Sword, Luo Xin Yu let out a cold hum, and a purple-golden light burst forth from his right arm. In an instant, the sword energy of the Purple Mist Sword surged again, rising over a dozen feet without any fancy moves. The Purple Mist Sword ruthlessly suppressed everything.

  Ahhhhh...

  A pained and mournful howl, the Wolf King's icy claws shattered instantly, a sword aura flashed by, and in an instant, all six claws were severed at the root, and heavily chopped into the Wolf King's chest. The immense power sent the Wolf King flying over ten zhang away, heavily slamming it to the ground.

  Propping up the wolf's body, Lu Qing and others found that the Wolf King was not cut in half by that one sword, but only left a foot-long blood mark on his chest, with pale white cold air dripping from the wound.

  As the Wolf King let out a low growl, the wound suddenly flashed with a burst of white light, and the wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. The part around the wound that had been scorched by the sword energy also quickly fell off.

  Luoxin Yu's complexion changed slightly, this Wolf King actually had such a healing ability, if he couldn't kill it with one blow, then he didn't know when he could exhaust it to death. For Luoxin Yu, who was extremely proud of himself, exhausting a lower-ranking spiritual beast to death was absolutely a humiliating thing, even if the opponent was a king.

  On the other hand, Lie Feng was helpless against the two Wolf Guards. Perhaps their actual strength was not as good as his, but the blue light shield they combined to create was exceptionally tough. No matter how hot and fierce Lie Feng's sword energy was, it could always be easily blocked by them. Moreover, from time to time, one or two blue water arrows would shoot out of the mouths of the two Wolf Guards, with a speed that was both fast and fierce. Every time Lie Feng prepared to use his powerful sword technique, he would be interrupted by the two Wolf Guards in this way, seemingly intending to wear him down in a battle of attrition. This made Lie Feng extremely angry.

  In front of the village gate, the middle-aged swordsman and his entourage were watching with their hearts racing. When had they ever seen such an intense and high-level battle? The scattered sword energy struck the stone floor, creating a deep pit, with debris and snowflakes flying everywhere. The powerful momentum and profound swordsmanship left them in awe, and many people secretly mimicked the moves under their breath. Unfortunately, the gap between their realms was too great, and they couldn't even get close to entering that level.

  His eyes turned sharp, and at this moment, Luoxin Yu had already moved his killing intent. He saw that his right hand was holding the Purple Cloud Sword horizontally, while his left hand suddenly pressed tightly against the sword body. The purple-golden sword energy on his body burst out, and the Purple Cloud Sword instantly rotated in the opposite direction, with the sword energy entwining around it. In an instant, it became a circle of sword wheel emitting purple-golden virtual flames. The sword energy on top followed the rotation of the Purple Cloud Sword, piercing through the air and making a hissing sound.

  At the same time, Luoxin Yu's divine consciousness burst out of his body and locked onto the Wolf King from a distance. At this moment, Luoxin Yu's eyes seemed to have a layer of purple-gold color, cold and emotionless, giving off an enormous sense of threat that made the Wolf King let out an angry howl. It felt that the dazzling purple-gold light wheel had already locked onto it, and from within, it smelled the aura of destruction and death.

  "Finally willing to be serious—" At this time, Yu Ji saw the change in Luo Xin Yu and opened his mouth.

  "What?" Lu Qing asked in confusion on one side.

  "That is the Zi Yang Seven Absolute Sword, one of the profound sword techniques at the peak of Zi Xia Peak. It is also known as the Zi Xia Ten Swords and requires coordination with the Zi Yang True Classic, one of the foundational sword techniques of Zi Xia Peak. Only after a swordsman has cultivated the Zi Yang Sword Energy can it be unleashed, its power boundless."

  Lu Qing's mind was at ease, and only this could explain the strange movement of Luo Xingyu just now in mid-air. It should be the footwork that only the Earth Stage Swordsmen possess. However, Lu Qing immediately became suspicious again: "That purple-gold sword energy doesn't seem like Fire Attribute sword energy."

  "Well, the Ziyang sword energy is formed by the dispersing of the purple fire at dawn when the morning sun rises. It has already departed from the fire element and legend has it that after successfully cultivating the Ziyang sword halo, the purple fire on top can melt gold and refine iron."
