Chapter 125: Chapter 90: Establishing Authority

The roar of Liou Yuan echoed throughout the courtyard, as the blue sword beam from the Profound Brilliance Sword in his hand shot forth.

Boom! The sword beam erupted towards Lv Jifeng.

Because of his apprehension towards Zhao Feiyue’s status, Lv Jifeng was about to say something to ease the tension, but he hadn’t expected Liou Yuan to attack so suddenly.

Facing the impending sword beam, he swallowed the words at the tip of his tongue and rebuked fiercely: "What audacity!"

Lv Jifeng reacted swiftly, patting his waist and retrieving a round shield magical artifact.

With spiritual power infusing it, the palm-sized round shield transformed into a giant shield that enveloped his entire body, defending against Liou Yuan’s striking sword beam.

Lv Jifeng’s roar also roused the four subordinates behind him.

Seeing Liou Yuan attack, they too showed surprise mixed with anger and started to prepare their measures.

"Hmph!" Zhao Feiyue, beside Liou Yuan, noticed this, her expression turning cold as she snorted.

Knowing she wouldn’t let them get their way, from the moment Liou Yuan acted, she had maintained a stern gaze.

As the four made their move, she unleashed the spell prepared in her hand towards them.

Boom! Thunder rumbled from a clear sky.

The azure lightning illuminated the courtyard, engulfing the four within.

Her agile figure flickered, diving into the lightning.

Meanwhile, Liou Yuan and Lv Jifeng officially commenced their duel.

Liou Yuan’s Profound Brilliance Sword struck the round shield magical artifact.

Clang! The force carried by the Profound Brilliance Sword made the round shield tremble.

However, Lv Jifeng’s cultivation level was higher than Liou Yuan’s, allowing him to steadily withstand the strike.

"Simply at the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer!" Lv Jifeng sneered at Liou Yuan’s power.

Liou Yuan suddenly took a deep breath.

Bang bang bang! Lv Jifeng felt as if he heard the sound of drums and bells.

The sound was low but imbued with an immense sense of power.

Without time to investigate the source of the sound.

In the next moment, his expression changed.

Because the Profound Brilliance Sword pressing against the round shield suddenly magnified its strength manifold, causing the shield to tilt towards him.

Looking back, Liou Yuan’s skin turned red, steam rising from his body, the surging force originating from his physique.

Body Cultivation Skills Yunwu Prefecture.

After achieving great success at his Kidney Mansion, the power of Yunwu Prefecture increased nearly double.

Even for Lv Jifeng at the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, this strike was not easily overcome.

Moreover, due to the Profound Brilliance Sword’s characteristic of penetrating magical artifacts and magic.

The round shield that had previously withstood attacks while defending the city surprisingly fractured with a crack under Liou Yuan’s sword.

"Shatter!" accompanied by Liou Yuan’s low roar.

Bang! The round shield magical artifact shattered, splitting into fragments and scattering around.

Lv Jifeng hastily retreated, distressed over the broken shield and filled with fury.

As loose cultivators, their lives were impoverished, and this defense magical artifact was bought with a considerable portion of his savings, yet Liou Yuan shattered it.

"You seek death." Lv Jifeng, furious, formed a seal with his hands, striking the ground, causing a roar from the courtyard floor.

Human-sized stone spires erupted crazily from the ground, engulfing Liou Yuan within.

Liou Yuan’s eyes glowed with malice, looking at the spikes thrusting towards him from all directions, showing no intention of retreating or defending.

Boom! Jade Tide Pure Water Swordsmanship was unleashed. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The blue sword beam spread like ripples in water, sweeping outward from Liou Yuan’s stance.

Slash slash slash!

The spikes attacking Liou Yuan in the wake of the sword beam were neatly severed.

Liou Yuan’s figure flickered, producing azure spiritual light, shooting towards Lv Jifeng.

"This guy’s artifact is so sharp!" Lv Jifeng, seeing his prized magical artifact and spell being countered by Liou Yuan’s Profound Brilliance Sword, thought his opponent relied solely on the artifact’s advantage, his expression turning solemn.

Liou Yuan’s speed was too fast, and Lv Jifeng, experienced in battles, knew it was too late to invoke magic.

At this moment, he disregarded the heartache for his trump card.

He reached into his robes, pulling out a talisman and flinging it towards Liou Yuan.

As spiritual light blossomed, the talisman transformed into a Yellow Earth Seal, growing larger in flight, smashing towards Liou Yuan.

Liou Yuan, eyes fierce, swung his sword towards the looming seal.

Boom! The Yellow Earth Seal and the azure sword beam exploded simultaneously.

Lv Jifeng, seizing the moment while the talisman held Liou Yuan, prepared his second spell.

He knelt, punching the ground with both fists.

Two giant hands of dirt and stone formed in front of him.

The giant hands, over five meters tall, clenched their fists, attacking Liou Yuan’s figure temporarily stalled by the talisman.

Yet, the soil giant hands hung suspended, unable to descend in time.

"Roar!" A beastly sound suddenly erupted in the courtyard.

The sound waves reverberated, crashing against Lv Jifeng.

Maintaining the spell, it felt as if his brain was struck by a heavy hammer, leaving him briefly blank, the giant hands halting mid-air.

In that brief pause, azure light flashed through the gaps between the giant hands.

A fierce-faced Liou Yuan rushed to Lv Jifeng, the Profound Brilliance Sword delivering a third strike.

"Die!"

Before the azure sword beam could fall upon Lv Jifeng, a damp aura surged towards him, pulling the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer man from his daze back to reality.

His pupils mirrored the azure sword beam’s hue.

The scent of death permeated his mind.

"Oh no!"

He almost screamed these words.
