Chapter 725 - 507: Silent Sword Intent, Bell Attraction Slays the Great Saint
Wei Fan hadn’t studied swordsmanship, but with his Sword Dao realm and identity as a Sword Saint, even a branch in his hand could cleave through space.
Furthermore, although he had not studied Sword Dao, having spent a long time with the white-haired Sword Saint Li Jianchen, they often discussed Sword Dao and Blade Dao. He had also experienced Li Jianchen’s Sword Intent multiple times, and there were many commonalities between Sword Dao and Blade Dao.
For him, pretending to be a Sword Dao master wasn’t a difficult task.
"Clang..."
The silver Holy Sword unsheathed, and the fierce Sword Intent instantly tore through space, cutting a huge gap.
The sword light surged like a tide, the void world turned white and misty. Even though Wei Fan had to conceal his original aura and couldn’t exert his full strength, this sword was still unstoppable.
Draw the sword!
Slash!
Wei Fan executed the move in one fluid motion, the Holy Sword carrying the momentum of splitting the heavens, cutting down heavily.
"A master!"
The Iron-Eating Beast Demon Saint’s expression changed dramatically. Realizing that this person was an extraordinary powerhouse, he hurriedly retracted his punched fist, crossing his arms to protect his chest.
However, it was utterly futile with Wei Fan’s current realm. Even if he wanted to hide his aura, he could dominate his peers, not to mention that the Iron-Eating Beast Demon Saint was only a Pathway Condensing Demon Saint.
The silver Holy Sword, like chopping wood, instantly sliced through the Iron-Eating Beast Demon Saint’s hands and, like a hot knife through butter, cleaved his body in two. Without even having the time to scream, the Iron-Eating Beast Demon Saint died on the spot.
[Slain Iron-Eating Beast Demon Saint, gained 500,000 years of Ordinary Power, 2,700 years of Martial Saint’s Power]
[Ordinary Power: 1,860,000 years]
[Martial Saint’s Power: 2,700 years]
Will Power swept out, collecting the corpse of the Iron-Eating Beast Demon Saint. The creature’s flesh was indeed terrifying, with even its internal organs nearly metallic, almost reaching the level of a High-Level Saint Soldier, no wonder Tang Jun was injured by it.
A Martial Saint who just entered the Dharma Realm, few could injure such a terrifying flesh body.
"What?"
Those fighting in the distance were stunned, the Celestial Horned Elephant looked over with horror, completely not expecting the terrifying flesh body of the Iron-Eating Beast Demon Saint to be slain by a single sword strike.
Others might not know, but these Demon Saints were well aware of how terrifying the flesh of an Iron-Eating Beast would be upon reaching the Saint Realm, its defense no weaker than the Body-Becoming Saint Demon.
Yet the man, who seemed like a gentle scholar, hadn’t even drawn out the Great Path of the sword, relying solely on his strength to slay the Iron-Eating Beast Demon Saint with a single sword, an astonishingly sharp attack.
Even Great Saint level figures fighting further away were stunned, momentarily forgetting to continue their battle, eyes widening as they watched.
"Who is this person, so fiercely powerful?"
The Black Dragon Great Saint’s eyelids twitched violently. He was also watching when the scholar-like man drew his sword. Truth be told, that sword strike didn’t have any mysteries to it, just like chopping wood with a casual swing.
It hadn’t stirred the Power of the Great Path, nor invoked any profound Heart Method, just a plain and simple sword strike.
"Because of his Dao Power!"
Reflecting on the previous sword strike in his mind, the Black Dragon Great Saint understood that the reason that sword was so fierce, able to slay the Iron-Eating Beast Demon Saint, was mainly due to the scholar-like man’s Dao Power.
It was a ferociously tyrannical Dao Power, extraordinarily profound, far beyond what an ordinary Dharma Martial Saint could condense. Its profundity almost infinitely approached the Dao Power of a Great Saint powerhouse, embodying the true essence of that sword’s unparalleled ferocity.
"To cultivate such Dao Power in the Dharma Realm, the Cultivation Technique he practices must either be a Martial Emperor Technique or a Quasi-Emperor Technique. Is this a successor from a Martial Emperor Family out in the Jianghu for training?"
The Black Dragon Great Saint perceived these, as did the Celestial Horned Elephant with Great Saint cultivation fighting him, and it couldn’t help but twitch its eyelids violently.
"Boom..."
The Saint Dao of the Iron-Eating Beast Demon Saint emerged, exploding with a bang, the waves of Dao Collapse sweeping heaven and earth.
The world fell silent, even the battlefield of tens of thousands stopped for a moment, no one expected that as the battle began, a Saint Realm powerhouse would fall.
It’s known that in such a grand war, the outcome isn’t determined by the skirmishes of armies, but by the Saint Realm powerhouses’ battlefield.
"The one who died is a Demon Saint, the Iron-Eating Beast!"
"Roar! The Human Race Saint Realm powerhouse is mighty!"
The soldiers from both sides couldn’t help but look towards the void world. Upon realizing the one who died was a Demon Saint, the Human Race’s soldiers couldn’t help but shout, their morale soaring.
"Kill!"
"Eliminate these beasts!"
In the next moment, the armies clashed again, not stopping. However, the morale of the Demon side clearly diminished; many Demons were calculating how to retreat should the Demon Saints lose.
"Well done, brother!"
Tang Jun didn’t yet know the person in front of him was Wei Fan. He let out a long howl, launching a fierce and sharp attack towards the Celestial Horned Elephant opposite.
This person could slay the Iron-Eating Beast Demon Saint with a single sword. Together, they could perhaps take down this Dharma Realm Celestial Horned Elephant too. Seeing hope, Tang Jun’s battle fervor ignited.
Wei Fan transformed into a streak of sword light, traversing the void world like a dazzling silk ribbon, his fierce Sword Intent radiating in all directions.
He was imitating Li Jianchen’s Sword Intent. Initially clumsy, but after slaying the Iron-Eating Beast Demon Saint in one stroke, he further grasped the essence of Li Jianchen’s Silent Sword Intent, his Sword Intent increasingly resembling Li Jianchen’s.
In fact, his Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations had been cultivated to the Fourth Transformation. His talent, though not saying it was unparalleled, was definitely not weaker than figures like Li Jianchen, perhaps even more remarkable.
However, he had always been accustomed to using panels for cultivation, not lacking in top-tier Divine Skills, so his talents and such were seldom showcased.
In just a short moment, his sword intent became very similar to Li Jianchen’s, causing Tang Jun to become suspicious, thinking that Li Jianchen had arrived.
"Boom!"
Wei Fan’s sword momentum surged powerfully, fierce and unrivaled. He wielded the sword like a saber and attacked the Dharma Realm Celestial Horned Elephant from a hundred meters away, slashing with a single stroke.
The hundred-meter-long sword light emitted a silent sword intent, as if it were about to sever the Great Dao itself.
The Dharma Realm Celestial Horned Elephant’s expression changed dramatically, hastily using its holy soldier to block.
"Bang!"
The silver light slashed down, its ferocious and domineering power coupled with Li Jianchen’s silent sword intent caused the Primordial Spirit to experience a stinging pain, and part of the will power was slashed away.
At the same time, its tiger’s mouth cracked open, blood splattered, and the holy soldier in its hand was directly knocked away, its elephant ears trembling uncontrollably.
"Ancestor, save me!"
In midair, it called for help from the Great Saint-level Celestial Horned Elephant engaged in battle with the Black Dragon Great Saint. After just one encounter, it knew that the pale, scholar-like man before its eyes had the power to kill it, not to mention there was also the Dharma Martial Saint Tang Jun nearby watching intently.
In fact, if Wei Fan wanted to kill this Dharma Realm Celestial Horned Elephant, this sword would be enough to cut it down. However, as it is material for cultivating the Nine Dragons Nine Elephants Skill, its intact corpse held greater value.
After knocking down the opponent’s holy soldier, Wei Fan stored away the silver holy sword, and in a flash, he was at the Celestial Horned Elephant’s side, his fingers emitting dazzling divine light as he pressed towards its forehead.
"Bang!"
With one palm strike, the Celestial Horned Elephant rolled its eyes and saw stars, and its Sea of Consciousness wobbled.
"It’s surprisingly tough!"
He felt it inappropriate to use the Mountain and River Seal in public, and didn’t expect one palm strike wouldn’t be enough to knock the Celestial Horned Elephant out. This was also because he rarely left anyone alive in battles, making it difficult to control his strength, fearing that one palm might directly kill the Celestial Horned Elephant.
"Bang bang..."
After three consecutive palm strikes, the Celestial Horned Elephant’s eyes rolled back and it directly passed out, its Sea of Consciousness becoming a mess.
"Release him, or the Celestial Horned Elephant clan won’t rest until death with you!"
In the distance, the Great Saint Golden Celestial Horned Elephant roared in anger, attempting to charge over, only to be blasted back by the Black Dragon Great Saint.
Wei Fan paid no heed to this, continuously launching hand seals to seal the Dharma Realm Celestial Horned Elephant, then handed it over to Tang Jun.
"Please brother, watch over him for me!"
Wei Fan’s body surged with a tidal wave of killing intent, the surrounding temperature plummeting. The Great Saint-level demon in front of him was precisely the target for testing the power of the Bell Attraction.
"Be careful, brother!"
Tang Jun’s eyes widened, understanding that he intended to target the Great Saint-level demon. He quickly took the Celestial Horned Elephant and retreated to the side.
Though he didn’t know what made the other confident enough to challenge a Great Saint with Dharma cultivation, he gave no advice, since encountering him for the first time, who knew if he possessed an Imperial Soldier.
In the distance, the Black Dragon Great Saint, along with his mount the Black Dragon, battled fiercely with the Celestial Horned Elephant Great Saint and the Nine-tailed Fox Great Saint, the forces like a vast ocean, breaking numerous chains of order.
Even though two Demon Saints had died, they showed no intent of retreating, still attempting to charge over to kill Wei Fan.
"Bell Attraction!"
Wei Fan muttered softly, hiding the Ten Thousand Dao Bell beneath his skin, and without hesitation, charged into the battlefield where the Great Saints fought.
He rushed upstream like a sword light, heading rapidly towards the aftermaths of the battle between the four Great Saint-level powerhouses.
The Void World trembled, space shattering into pieces, turning into Chaos Qi and dissipating, revealing pathways connecting the real world and the Void World.
"Simply seeking death!"
"Good timing!"
The Celestial Horned Elephant and the Nine-tailed Fox shouted together, originally having decided the outcome of the battle, but remained to kill this unknown Dharma Martial Saint.
Never expected a mere Dharma Martial Saint would involve himself in the battle of Great Saints.
"Die!"
The Celestial Horned Elephant blasted out a brilliant beam towards Wei Fan from a distance, only to be shattered by the Black Dragon Great Saint.
"Why are you coming over here, I have no time to look after you!"
The Black Dragon Great Saint loudly reminded, for a Dharma Martial Saint to enter the fray of Great Saints, even a monster like Wei Fan would be in danger. The more advanced Martial Dao becomes in the later stages, the harder it is to fight across levels.
Anyone reaching such a realm were typically monsters that stunned their era, making it nearly impossible for anyone to advance against them.
"Elder, just take care of yourself!"
Wei Fan’s hair fluttered wildly. By this day, Great Saint powerhouses were no longer out of reach for him. If it weren’t to conceal his identity, unleashing all his methods should allow him to contend with someone who recently entered the Great Saint Realm for a few rounds.
The Golden Bell Shield martial art reaching the realm of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell brought him many benefits that words could barely describe.
Plus, with the protection of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell, even a Great Saint powerhouse couldn’t harm him.
He charged forward like a dragon surging to the sea, activating Bell Attraction, his hands dancing.
In the next moment, a world-shaking aura appeared in his hands.
