Chapter 32: Breaking Through
Chapter 32 – Going for a Breakthrough
“What a fast lightweight!”
Lian Fei Yu sped over and stopped in front of the collapsed compound.
Chen Fan’s speed was too fast.
He originally wanted to chase after him, but as soon as Chen Fan’s figure moved, he gave up.
That kind of speed, it was estimated that only a martial artist with a perfect Houtian realm could have it.
“I wonder who this person is ……”
Previously, he was a hundred meters away from each other and he didn’t have night vision, thus he didn’t recognize Chen Fan.
“Fifth Prince, these people, there seems to be some problems.”
At this time, some people from the Lian Family, also rushed over.
A few people swept a glance at one of the corpses in the compound and saw that something was wrong.
In fact, on the surface, Fei Tie and the others didn’t have a problem.
But the fact that there were so many of them, gathered together, and they all carried swords and weapons, and at a glance, they were equipped with martial arts skills, this was somewhat abnormal.
“Let’s block the news first, and then check to see what kind of people they are.”
Lian Fei Yu spoke in a deep voice.
He had already taken on the battle and was going to fight Xue Zhi Bai today.
He was prepared to wait for this battle before investigating this matter in detail.
“Yes!”
……
“Brush!”
With a flash of his figure, Chen Fan deftly tumbled into his room through the window on the second floor of the Moon Reflecting Inn.
“Another thing.”
Chen Fan found a rag and sat on the bed, meticulously wiping the Xuan Iron Heavy Sword in his hand.
He found that this kind of wiping seemed to be able to calm his mood down as quickly as possible.
“However, I don’t know what purpose the Heavenly Cloud Walled City has in coming to Ying Yue Town.”
Chen Fan pondered.
He was prepared to destroy the Blood Sword Martial Hall, as well as the Heavenly Cloud Walled Village, once he had broken through to the Houtian Realm, in order to feel comfortable.
At the same time, he would also experience the life of a warrior that he had once fantasized about.
He couldn’t stay in this continent for long.
When he left this place and became an Immortal Cultivator, he probably wouldn’t be in such a mood.
……
“Selling buns.”
“Warrior, do you want a baklava?”
Early in the morning, Ying Yue Town, which had been quiet for the night, seemed to come alive all of a sudden, and the streets and alleys were filled with the yells of vendors.
The screams of Fei Tie’s group last night had startled many people.
But because the Lian family had blocked the news, many people didn’t know what had happened.
Therefore there were only occasional comments.
“What’s going on, hasn’t Old Three come yet?”
At the same time, the second leader of the Sky Cloud Walled City, also brought a group of people to the town.
They sat down in front of a stall and waited for Fei Tie’s arrival.
However, as time passed by, Fei Tie never showed up.
“Xue Zhi Bai and Lian Fei Yu are about to start their sparring session, are all of you people from the Heavenly Cloud Walled City so unreliable?”
A few martial artists with long swords at their sides said impatiently.
“Wait a little longer!”
The second leader said in a deep voice.
Although Fei Tie had an eccentric personality, he rarely acted negligently.
This time, its not coming on time, perhaps it has encountered some kind of trouble.
“Is it about to start?”
On the second floor of the Moon Reflecting Building, Chen Fan sat by the window and looked at the street downstairs.
There was no ring set up for the battle between Xue Zhi Bai and Lian Fei Yu.
Instead, they were just going to fight on the long street.
This street was wide enough.
Even if it was destroyed, with the Lian family’s financial power, it would be able to be repaired very quickly.
Moreover, the two did not have the idea of avoiding people.
As young people, who wouldn’t want to display themselves in plain sight?
“Brother Xue, please!”
On the street, Lian Fei Yu arched his hand and spoke.
“Brother Lian, please!”
Xue Zhi Bai similarly arched his hand. Both of them were flamboyant gentlemen, and although they were about to engage in a match, it looked more like two close friends meeting and exchanging pleasantries.
“Whoosh!”
Right at this moment, Xue Zhi Bai moved.
His figure was like the wind, instantly arriving in front of Lian Fei Yu, his true qi surged out, and the sword in his hand was sheathed, as if it had transformed into a sword bird, attacking Lian Fei Yu directly.
Lian Fei Yu’s expression remained unchanged, his figure was floating, his sword technique unfolded, sometimes like a cloudy cliff covering the sky, sometimes like a clear wind without traces, fighting with Xue Zhi Bai in one place.
“Is this the supreme sword technique?”
Chen Fan stood up from the second floor of the inn, his eyes burning.
In his eyes, Xue Zhi Bai’s Thousand Birds Welcoming Phoenix Sword Technique was like a thousand birds flying in unison at this moment, covering the sky.
On the other hand, Lian Fei Yu’s Cloud Cliff Clearing Wind Sword Technique was a clear wind that brushed his face, gentle yet omnipresent.
The two fought together, sword light streaking across the sky and true qi stirring, forming a shocking wave of qi that spread in all directions.
This kind of might had completely surpassed Fei Tie, the third leader of the Heavenly Cloud Walled City.
“It seems that finding a supreme sword technique that suits me is indeed somewhat necessary.”
Chen Fan mused.
The current him, when he fought, basically relied on brute force only.
If there was a supreme sword technique that suited him, it would definitely still be able to increase his strength some more.
Especially when he broke through to the Houtian Realm.
“Clang!”
“Clank!”
Xue Zhi Bai and Lian Fei Yu battled to a standstill.
The two swords clashed with each other, emitting an ear-piercing clang of gold and iron.
Suddenly, Xue Zhi Bai’s figure moved and his sword technique changed.
The sword in his hand was like a phoenix bird spreading its wings, bringing up a piercing sword light that went straight for Lian Fei Yu’s throat.
The speed and power of this sword reached its peak, as if it was going to cut through the air.
Lian Fei Yu’s expression remained unchanged as he sidestepped and avoided the sharpness of the sword.
At the same time, the sword in his hand seemed to have prepared for this, drawing a wonderful arc, as if the wind was seeking a gap, gently pointing at Xue Zhi Bai’s wrist.
“Brush!”
After the strike, Lian Fei Yu’s figure drifted back, pulling away from Xue Zhi Bai.
“I lost ……”
Xue Zhi Bai looked at the position of his wrist and sighed.
Just a short while ago, he had told Chen Fan that he was bound to win this battle.
However, he had not expected that Lian Fei Yu’s strength would be more than a step stronger than he had imagined.
But even though he was defeated, he was honorable and did not drag his feet in the slightest.
“I’m only a few years older than you, if I had waited two more years, I guess I wouldn’t be your opponent.”
Lian Fei Yu shook his head.
He was likewise an Innate Seed, and was expected to break through to the Innate Realm when he was in his thirties.
However, compared to Xue Zhi Bai, he was still a bit behind.
Xue Zhi Bai was a recognized genius in the Jianghu.
Everyone thought that he was expected to achieve innate in his twenties, just like Li Chaofeng.
“It’s time for me to break through to the Houtian realm.”
On the second floor of the inn, Chen Fan’s heart fluttered as he saw the two men finish their sparring session.
With a tilt of his head, he drank the Moon Reflecting Wine in his hand, then he went downstairs and headed for the Moon Reflecting Lake.
He did not care who won or lost between the two.
He had only come over this time because he wanted to see the supreme sword technique that was widely rumored in the rivers and lakes.
He didn’t want to take this look, but he suddenly developed a feeling that he was about to make a breakthrough.
It was just that this place in the inn was not very suitable for seclusion.
He was prepared to head to the cold spring at the bottom of the Moon Reflecting Lake as before, and make another breakthrough.
Chen Fan quickened his pace and soon arrived at the lake.
Seemingly because of the battle between Xue Zhi Bai and Lian Fei Yu, the lake was so calm that there was not even a single fisherman.
“Pah!”
“Snap!”
Chen Fan’s body was a single vertical movement, just like a swallow pointing at water, he leapt above the lake surface and quickly swept towards the depths of the lake.
“Hey …… hey ……”
At this time, one person came on the lake shore, precisely the old boatman that Chen Fan was familiar with.
He watched from afar as Chen Fan stepped on the waves and wiped his eyes, his face filled with disbelief.
