Meng Fan's face showed a trace of excitement as he stared intently at the long sword in Li Fanchen's hand.
If nothing unexpected happened, this should be a divine sword.
A divine-level sword weapon!
Only a sword weapon of this caliber could match the status of Li Fanchen, the Clan Master of the Ghost King Sect.
After Li Fanchen drew his sword, Lin Jinghong also drew his.
As the Sect Master of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, if Lin Jinghong didn't use a divine sword, it would be a disgrace to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect!
In truth, the Shu Mountain Sword Sect was never short of good swords.
As a major sect in the Sword Dao, even the combined sword weapons of the Limitless Sword Sect and the Kunlun Sword Sect couldn't compare to those of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.
Lin Jinghong's sword was indeed a divine sword.
Moreover, it was the "Seven Star Sword," passed down through generations in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect!
In fact, the name of the Shu Mountain Seven Star Sword was even more renowned than the Demon Locking Sword or Fuxi's Sword.
Because whether it was the Demon Locking Sword or Fuxi's Sword, they rarely appeared in the world and had hardly ever been used.
But the Seven Star Sword was different. Generations of Shu Mountain Sect Masters had used the Seven Star Sword to slay demons and exterminate evil, earning it a legendary reputation!
Lin Jinghong flicked his finger, and the Seven Star Sword unsheathed.
A dazzling and awe-inspiring sword light poured out, illuminating the entire Demon Locking Tower.
Of course, this sword light was purely for show and had no real power.
At least, for powerhouses like Lin Jinghong and Li Fanchen, it had no power whatsoever!
"Li Fanchen, since you are not convinced, then take another strike from me. If you can withstand this strike, I will no longer stop you from taking the Blood Soul Sword!" Lin Jinghong held the Seven Star Sword, pointing it directly at Li Fanchen.
Even when facing someone like Li Fanchen, his tone remained indifferent, with an air of superiority.
Shu Mountain Sword Sect.
Also known as the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect!
The fact that it could be associated with the word "Immortal" was enough to prove the formidable strength of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect in this world.
And as the Sect Master of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, Lin Jinghong indeed had the right to be proud!
But Li Fanchen didn't think so. He was twenty years younger than Lin Jinghong and confident he could surpass him.
The waves behind drive the waves ahead, and the waves ahead die on the beach!
He believed that one day he could crush Lin Jinghong on the beach.
Of course, not today!
Li Fanchen was here today just to retrieve the Blood Soul Sword. After obtaining it, he would return to cultivate the Blood Soul Limitless Scripture to its peak.
Then, he would have the confidence to crush Lin Jinghong.
As for now, it was not the time for him to be arrogant.
Li Fanchen looked at Lin Jinghong coldly and said sternly, "Don't say just one strike, even ten or a hundred strikes, you can't do anything to me!"
Although his words were dismissive, in fact, Li Fanchen was very wary of Lin Jinghong at this moment.
The premise of him being able to crush Lin Jinghong on the beach was that he obtained the Blood Soul Sword and then cultivated the Blood Soul Limitless Scripture to its peak.
Lin Jinghong's gaze was indifferent, still carrying a trace of arrogance.
"Take this strike of mine first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Seven Star Sword in his hand flew out.
The sword light flowed like clouds, suddenly transforming into a stunning streak.
Shu Mountain Sword Technique—"Heavenly Sword"
Transforming the body into the sword, merging man and sword, harnessing the power of heaven and earth.
The sword qi crisscrossed, forming a sword domain, merging with heaven and earth, with unfathomable power.
This sword technique was the highest threshold for cultivation in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.
Because only a Sword Dao master who had reached the sword domain level could cultivate this sword technique.
Among the myriad sword techniques of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, if the "Sword God" technique was not used, then the "Heavenly Sword" was undoubtedly the pinnacle.
The Seven Star Sword thrown by Lin Jinghong at this moment seemed no longer a sword but had transformed into a sword-man, creating a domain of swords, covering the first floor of the Demon Locking Tower.
At the same time, Lin Jinghong raised his finger and formed another sword seal.
"Myriad Swords Art"
The "Heavenly Sword" combined with the "Myriad Swords Art," Lin Jinghong's strike was no less than the "Sword God."
In the end, Lin Jinghong still somewhat underestimated Li Fanchen.
Otherwise, he would have directly used the "Sword God" instead of the "Heavenly Sword" and "Myriad Swords Art" which were comparable to the "Sword God."
Li Fanchen naturally understood this.
So he angrily said, "Lin Jinghong, fighting me and you still want to hold back, it's simply outrageous!"
In Li Fanchen's view, Lin Jinghong using a sword against him but not using the strongest "Sword God" was an insult to him.
And indeed, it was!
In the next second, Li Fanchen struck out in anger, the long sword in his hand transforming into a sky full of sword light.
Lin Jinghong did not use his full strength, but Li Fanchen did not intend to show mercy. He wanted to teach Lin Jinghong a lesson.
"One Sword Opens the Azure Sky"
This strike from Li Fanchen was the strongest sword technique of the Ghost King Sect, comparable to the "Sword God" of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.
At the top of the Demon Locking Tower, Meng Fan's heart was racing, and he was drenched in sweat.
When Lin Jinghong displayed the "Heavenly Sword," Meng Fan's Sword Dao Transcendence talent within him began to operate.
In an instant, various profound insights appeared in his mind.
He was desperately trying to comprehend this sword technique.
Although Meng Fan had never seen this sword technique before, he had long heard of the legend of the "Heavenly Sword."
So when he saw this sword technique, he immediately recognized it as the Shu Mountain's ultimate skill, the "Heavenly Sword."
Among the myriad sword techniques of Shu Mountain, this one was definitely in the top three!
Next, Lin Jinghong displayed the "Myriad Swords Art."
Meng Fan had already learned this sword technique from the jade pendant given to him by Elder Wang, along with the Free Wanderer's Godly Sword.
Although he had already mastered the Myriad Swords Art, seeing Lin Jinghong perform it still gave him many new insights, a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
Then, he saw Li Fanchen's sword technique.
He didn't know the name of this sword technique, but the shock it brought him even surpassed the "Heavenly Sword" and the "Myriad Swords Art."
The Ghost King Sect, a demonic sect, actually had such an astonishing and ghostly sword technique?
From this strike by Li Fanchen, Meng Fan felt an endless sword intent, vaguely containing the profound mystery of creation.
In the next second, Meng Fan closed his eyes and sat cross-legged.
After seeing these three sword techniques, the battle between Lin Jinghong and Li Fanchen below was no longer important to Meng Fan.
These three sword techniques were already a great fortune for him, making this trip worthwhile!
Biting off more than one can chew.
Meng Fan had already absorbed enough; watching further would be of no use.
So Meng Fan no longer paid attention to the battle between Lin Jinghong and Li Fanchen, sitting cross-legged to meditate and comprehend what he had just seen.
Elder Lin, standing beside him, smiled. Seeing Meng Fan enter a state of "enlightenment," he was naturally very pleased.
Bringing Meng Fan here involved taking risks.
If Meng Fan gained nothing, it would be a huge loss, for both Meng Fan and Elder Lin!
Fortunately, his disciple, as always, did not disappoint him.
While protecting Meng Fan, Elder Lin continued to watch the battle below.
In fact, watching a battle of this level was also highly beneficial for Elder Lin.
