"You may kill as many people as you like here, but I must take Xu Fengnian with me."
The experts from the Anxi Protectorate did not bother to speak with Li Chungang and went straight to attack the experts from Beiliang.
Almost simultaneously, the pursuers arrived from behind.
"Xu Fengnian, stay!"
Gu Dazu, holding a Mo Dao (a type of long-handled sword), took a step that covered dozens of feet, with the tip of the sword pointing straight at Xu Fengnian's face!
"Keng!"
A broken sword blocked the Mo Dao, and Qi Lianhua snorted coldly.
"Another one wielding a knife, also surnamed Gu! Heh heh! Mid-stage Celestial Phenomenon Realm, I'm afraid he's no match for me!"
Another swordsman surnamed Gu, also a general of a nation, was also at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, but he was defeated by Qi Lianhua.
"One celestial phenomenon isn't enough, so we also need to add me, a country bumpkin!"
A voice came from afar, and Zhuge Liang, with his feather fan and silk turban, arrived riding a hurricane!
Qi Lianhua frowned. "Confucianism's Great Celestial Phenomenon, your Confucianism's Great Celestial Phenomenon is most averse to killing. Aren't you afraid of the backlash from your cultivation by engaging in such a large-scale war!"
Zhuge Liang summoned a celestial fire and hurricane, yet his expression remained calm and composed.
"The rebels are fighting against injustice and upholding righteousness throughout the world. What fear is there of a backlash?"
Several top experts clashed, and in an instant, the wind and clouds surged, true energy surged, and the celestial phenomena underwent a dramatic change.
Li Chungang's expression suddenly hardened as he sensed a powerful aura approaching.
Li Chungang suddenly leaped into the air, surrounded by crisscrossing sword energy, which coalesced into a wall of sword energy.
The wall of sword energy forced all the Celestial Phenomenon experts back, and more than a thousand Imperial Guards were forced to retreat step by step!
"If Heaven had not given birth to Li Chungang, the way of the sword would have remained in eternal darkness!"
With a loud shout, countless dense sword energies shot towards the direction of the approaching person!
"Sword Qi Rolls Dragon Wall!"
The experts from Beiliang and Shazhou stopped fighting and stared blankly at the sky.
Xu Fengnian clenched his fists and let out an excited low roar!
"A Land-Based Sword Immortal!"
"Sword God Li has recovered his cultivation!"
Just then, Li Chang'an's voice steadily rang out amidst the myriad sword energies.
"I possess a sword capable of slaying even a sword immortal!"
Chapter 224 Fighting Li Chungang! Sword Intent Suppresses the Heavenly Gate!
Sunset West Mountain.
Li Chang'an saw Li Chungang up close; he was an old man with one arm, wearing a tattered fur coat, and looked quite ordinary.
Stimulated by the clash of the three celestial phenomena, Li Chungang regained his cultivation as a terrestrial immortal.
The old sword god was surrounded by sword energy, and his overwhelming killing intent made everyone else retreat far away. Only Li Chang'an could approach him without any pressure.
Li Chang'an unleashed a sword intent, and the continuous sword intent effortlessly dissolved Li Chungang's rolling dragon wall of sword energy.
Under the setting sun, there was no longer a trace of murderous intent in the air.
Li Chungang frowned, a question arising in his mind.
"Your sword intent is impressive, but your cultivation level is rather strange..."
At this moment, Li Chang'an, after more than a year of study, has thoroughly mastered the Great River Sword Intent.
Now his Finger Profound Technique has reached its peak, and his realm has reached the Martial Great Finger Profound Realm.
In addition, Li Chang'an also specially studied the Bodhisattva Annihilation and Thunder God Swiftness in the Six Gods Technique, and his Celestial Phenomenon Realm was also improved to the middle stage.
[Realm: First-Rank Martial Artist (Great Vajra Realm, Great Finger Profound Realm, Mid-Stage Celestial Phenomenon Realm)]
Among martial arts practitioners, almost no one has cultivated to the level of Great Vajra, Great Finger Profound, or Great Celestial Phenomenon.
However, Li Chang'an possesses both the Vajra Physique and the Mysterious Finger Technique, which can be described as an unprecedented level of cultivation.
Once this battle is over, Li Chang'an's influence in all aspects will increase, allowing him to exchange for a martial skill at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
Li Chang'an's true energy is already sufficient. As long as he continues to refine his connection with the heavens and man, he will be able to cultivate to the Great Celestial Phenomenon.
As for Li Chang'an's current actual combat strength, he is now unmatched below the level of a terrestrial immortal.
Li Chungang, a sword immortal who had just recovered to the realm of a terrestrial immortal, was a perfect candidate to test his skills.
Li Chungang was one of the four grandmasters fifty years ago and is now the strongest martial artist in the world.
Because those hidden old monsters are generally invisible to martial arts practitioners.
Li Chang'an looked at this legendary figure in the martial arts world with a calm and composed expression.
"Great Vajra, Great Finger Xuan, enough to kill people."
Li Chang'an's ability to block Li Chungang's "Sword Qi Rolling Dragon Wall" move has already impressed Li Chungang.
"Your Majesty is too modest. Not only do you wield immense power and command a large army, but you also have a multitude of skilled warriors under your command. In fact, you yourself are a master."
"In that case, Xu Xiao is not as good as you either."
The two had just exchanged a single move, which had already shocked everyone in the martial arts world present.
Even the people within the Western Regions Protectorate were unaware that Li Chang'an's cultivation had skyrocketed to this level in just one year.
Gong Banque said to the groom, "Senior brother, did you see that? The combat power of cultivating three realms simultaneously is so strong. Who knows, in the future, they might even be able to rival Master!"
The white-robed Guanyin was greatly encouraged; the Tantric dual cultivation method was indeed effective, given how strong Li Chang'an had become.
The day I advance to the Great Vajra Realm shouldn't be too far off!
At this moment, Xu Fengnian, hiding far behind Li Chungang, suddenly felt more confident.
"Li Chang'an, you humiliated me before, and I swear to avenge you!"
"The Sword God is here today, what can you do to me!"
Li Chang'an raised an eyebrow, then looked at Xu Fengnian indifferently.
This guy is nothing but a piece of trash that can be crushed at any time. The reason we keep him around is to gain greater benefits.
In this world, some seemingly useless things are actually very valuable. Wouldn't it be a waste not to make good use of them?
"Old Sword God, Xu Fengnian, that piece of trash, still has some use. I want to trade him and Xu Xiao for something."
"You are a grandmaster, and you don't have a deep relationship with Beiliang. Why get involved in this mess?"
Li Chungang sighed and said, "New talents emerge in every generation. It's only been a little over twenty years, and some people already don't take me seriously."
“I owe Xu Xiao a favor. I have to make sure Xu Fengnian is safe when he comes out of seclusion.”
Li Chungang was no ordinary man. He entered the Vajra Realm at sixteen, the Finger Profound Realm at nineteen, the Celestial Phenomenon Realm at twenty-four, and opened the Heavenly Gate with his sword at thirty!
The fact that even someone like him could sigh shows that Li Chang'an was putting considerable pressure on the old swordsman.
Li Chang'an stood with his hands behind his back, his purple python robe fluttering in the wind, his sword-like eyebrows cold and stern.
"If it were the old Sword God at his peak, I indeed would not have been able to take Xu Fengnian away."
"But now that the old sword god has just recovered to the realm of a terrestrial immortal, he is probably no longer what he used to be."
"If I were to defeat you now, it would be an act of bullying the old and weak, and my victory would be dishonorable."
The martial arts figures present were all somewhat alarmed upon hearing this, as Li Chang'an was confident he could defeat the Old Sword God.
Even if Li Chungang is weak now, he's still a terrestrial immortal!
The realm that martial arts figures pursue throughout their lives!
Now, Li Chang'an's tone clearly indicates that he is challenging the old sword god.
Upon hearing these words, the legendary Li Chungang couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"Hahaha, Prince Tang, what a boastful tone!"
"The Great Vajra, the Great Finger Xuan... I have never seen them before. Why not take a look today!"
"Li Chang'an, if I defeat you, even if you have many men under your command, you will no longer be able to entangle Xu Fengnian."
Li Chang'an said calmly, "Don't worry, I will definitely defeat you, so that the old sword god can give Xu Xiao an explanation."
"We can't... let the old swordsman ruin his reputation in his later years."
As Li Chang'an spoke, he released five red-armored generals to aid the others in battle, while he himself stood ready, prepared to fight Li Chungang.
Li Chang'an's arrogant words also fueled Li Chungang's pride. "Back in my day, I was a genius too, but I was never this arrogant."
"Everyone else, get out of here, or you'll die a violent death!"
Upon hearing Li Chungang's reminder, the experts from both Beiliang and Shazhou leaped hundreds of feet away and then continued their battle.
After all, Li Chungang only protected Xu Fengnian; he wouldn't care what happened to the others.
