Li Fengyuan arrived at the place where several cultivators were hurting people. Some of them even killed those who resisted while others laughed carefree as they watched their fellows killing people.
But it was obvious that no one had noticed the commotion a few meters away.
"Hm? A young beauty!"
One of the men was shocked and immediately grinned fiercely as he noticed Li Fengyuan, exclaiming and causing all his other fellows to follow his gaze and be shocked as well.
"How beautiful!"
"Although she is very young, she is even more beautiful than those wives of mine!"
"What rich flesh I can smell from here!"
"Eh! Beautiful girl! Wouldn't you like to travel pleasantly to the nine heavens? I can make you feel like a queen of the world!"
The lustful and perverted voices were heard at the sight of Li Fengyuan, scanning her body and face rudely. Gazes would be drawn to her chest, her waist, her legs and her face, licking their lips at the thought of enjoying such a delicacy from the heavens.
The villagers looked with pity and sadness at the sight of Li Fengyuan, thinking that she was discovered before she could escape.
Li Fengyuan's expression turned completely cold, looking icily and angrily at these men. She always felt a rage and anger seeing all the men showing such kind of looks at seeing her, especially unscrupulously looking at her body and so on, as if they thought that women were only there to fulfill their dreams and be a vase of flowers in their lives.
Li Fengyuan clenched the hilt of the sword in her hand, remembering the day before when Ling Tian gave it to her and told her to refine it and combine it with her own energy.
'Just as the sword will be your guide and maximum point of strength, at the end of the road, you yourself have to be your own sword... you have to become one that by just waving your hand you will be able to split heaven and earth... destroy an entire world... a universe...'
Ling Tian's words entered deep into her consciousness, imprinting themselves on her never to be forgotten as she raised her gaze to the sky and vowed to herself to go where no one else had gone before as far as the Way of the Sword was known. A gratitude towards Ling Tian could not go unnoticed in her heart either. Li Fengyuan felt like she was entering another world, a completely different life from the one she would probably never touch if not for Ling Tian.
"Little girl come with me!"
A man in his 30s rushed towards Li Fengyuan, flying in the air without the need to use a flying sword. Li Fengyuan couldn't see his cultivation level, but seeing him flying in the air without a flying sword or special artifact, it was easy to tell that this man was already an official cultivator in the Golden Core realm.
Her hand gently clenched her sword, her breathing steadied and her mind got rid of any other unnecessary thoughts as she focused on feeling her own sword and docking with it for the first time in battle. Her aura changed imperceptibly and her eyes glowed slightly as she opened them, looking at the man who stood almost in front of her reaching out his arms and hands to take her.
A sliver of natural Chi was unconsciously drawn into her body, complementing her aura and power.
"Fuuu...~"
Li Fengyuan exhaled softly, letting the air escape slightly between her delicate, thin lips before moving her foot and swinging her sword towards the enemy. The cultivation essence flowed into her meridians unhindered and quickly gathered in her sword, creating a powerful bond with her before anyone could notice the change. She remembered Ling Tian's pose and movement when he used the sword and she subconsciously imitated it.
pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ Ling Tian had told her that once she could grasp a faint glimpse of the sword's mystery, it would no longer be necessary to use her cultivation essence and even Chi! Li Fengyuan would find it hard to believe if she had not seen with her own eyes the time when Ling Tian shattered Feng Xuan's technique by simply swinging her own sword without there being any cultivation essence or even Chi energy in him or the sword, easily breaking through the defenses and technique that she had worked so hard for even using all her power. She also did not forget that moment when with a sword he split the city and destroyed the mountains in the distance. Li Fengyuan knew that she had a long way to go before she could reach Ling Tian's level.
* Slash! *
Li Fengyuan waved her sword and slashed it without hesitation towards the man, smashing his chi guard into his body and splitting him in half.
"Huh?"
A confused and fear-filled expression appeared on the man's face before he lost consciousness and fell in front of Li Fengyuan, feeling his lower half disappear as he fell on one side.
The halved body fell and everyone was in shock, staring dumbfoundedly at what had just happened.
"But what the...!"
"How did she...?"
"Am I dreaming?"
The enemies looked at the halved body of their companion and then at Li Fengyuan who had not been touched. They wondered if they were under an illusion; some looked around for a powerful cultivator who might have launched a soul attack on them.
The locals looked at Li Fengyuan in disbelief, a hope lit up in them for the first time, seeing their savior in Li Fengyuan.
"So, this is creating the extension of the sword with myself..."
Li Fengyuan was the only one who was surprised and her heart raced as she easily killed a cultivator stronger than her! A cultivator at the Golden Core realm!
Li Fengyuan recalled one of the understandings of the Way of the Sword that Ling Tian had passed on to her: to make the sword just another extension of the body. Li Fengyuan felt somewhat strange as she felt that she was just one step from touching the mystery of the sword!
Although it was the first time she killed directly, Li Fengyuan felt no hesitation or remorse; the world was like this and if she didn't do it, she would be the one killed then. Li Fengyuan also saw the coldness and bloody side of Ling Tian and the others, so she did not hesitate to do this.
"Half Step into the Golden Core?"
"She is about to enter the Golden Core Stage!"
Finally someone exclaimed in shock and everyone scanned Li Fengyuan, noticing her cultivation level. But this made them more confused and even a bit of fear came over them.
No one could understand how Li Fengyuan was able to kill their companion who was already at the Golden Core realm...
"She must have been lucky, that's why that guy died easily!"
A young man around 25 years old with an arrogant and proud expression was the first to move and head towards Li Fengyuan, thinking that it was all a fluke and Li Fengyuan was able to kill his fellow without the latter protecting himself. The thought that Li Fengyuan's sword might be of a medium or high grade even made his eyes sparkle with greed, thinking that that would be the only answer to how she was able to kill a cultivator stronger than her.
* Boom! *
Li Fengyuan reacted quickly and fiercely slashed with her sword at the young man who lunged towards her. But this time, he was not careless and drew his own sword as well, grinning wickedly as he slashed towards Li Fengyuan.
* Crack! *
But the young man's wicked grin froze as his sword cracked and began to break, feeling a powerful force coming from Li Fengyuan's sword itself.
"Impossible!" He exclaimed in terror when he saw that Li Fengyuan's sword did not stop and approached his body, easily breaking through his body protection.
Li Fengyuan was also shocked to see what she was doing. She had only reacted and unconsciously applied the comprehension and power of the sword to defend herself! And now it seemed as if the sword was another extension of her body and there was no need to focus her power on it!
A powerful Chi shot out from the young man's body but it was in vain, Li Fengyuan's sword easily cut through the energy and sliced his chest, killing him instantly.
"She has a high-level sword! Let's attack her together and we can take that sword from her!"
A loud voice was heard before everyone focused on Li Fengyuan and attacked without hesitation, putting aside their lusts and finally coveting Li Fengyuan's sword thinking it was a high-level spirit weapon.
Li Fengyuan swallowed hard, a powerful feeling of adrenaline rushed through her body as she saw all the enemies attacking her. She didn't even think of retreating or escaping, on the contrary, Li Fengyuan felt like she touched a layer of shackles on her body and the only way to break it would be with her sword if she managed to grasp that mysterious feeling once again.
Li Fengyuan put that feeling aside and focused on her sword, watching the enemies approach and finally she too moved, slashing with her sword without hesitation and straight at the nearest guy.
The best defense would be attack...
