CHAPTER 222: CHAPTER 218 COLLECTION

Li Fan didn’t pay attention to Ren Yuzhi staring at him for the time being, but since the other party had set his sights on him, it meant there was malicious intent.

He naturally understood the significance of such malice in the Secret Realm.

All sword cultivators entering the Secret Realm would collect special Sword Intent as quickly as possible, and later on, the fastest way to collect Sword Intent should be to kill fellow sword cultivators and plunder their Sword Intent.

Since the rumors outside about this Secret Realm involve Immortals and speculate that the rise of Xuanyuan Sword is related to this Secret Realm, to gather as much Sword Intent as possible for opportunities, some sword cultivators who entered might resort to any means.

At this moment, the Sword Intent on Li Fan’s body still remained zero.

It wasn’t that he didn’t obtain any, but after obtaining it, Li Fan didn’t collect and store it.

Instead, he directly absorbed it for cultivation, which seemed to be a shortcut in the path of cultivation.

"Currently, I’ve probably plundered and absorbed thousands of Sword Intents. Although there’s a bit of progress when absorbing Sword Intent, it’s still far from enough. I estimate that to achieve a breakthrough in the Sword Dao, we need a massive amount of Sword Intent, at least tens of thousands."

Li Fan said to Lu Yuan, "In comparison, if I collect tens of thousands of Sword Intents to form a Sword Dao attack, the power would definitely be tremendous, making it a good choice for gaining opportunities."

"Using it to form attacks can increase our trump card in the Secret Realm, but most people should choose to exchange for Sword Dao opportunities. People like you who directly absorb it for cultivation are probably very rare." Lu Yuan said.

"What are opportunities for?" Li Fan said, "They are also for cultivation. Wanting to improve the Sword Dao realm can’t be achieved without paying a price. We are different from other sword cultivators; our realm is considered the lowest. If the realm can be raised to the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment, the efficiency will be greatly improved."

If we use the sword, then time spent honing it cannot be omitted.

Lu Yuan nodded. She, like Li Fan, directly absorbed and refined the Sword Intent for cultivation. They were different from others; many who entered the Secret Realm were already in the Late Stage Foundation Establishment Realm, and even if used to increase their cultivation, the boost was limited.

"There..."

At this time, a demon appeared ahead, a black eagle. The two sped up, stepping on flying swords and shooting out swiftly.

The demon seemed to be aware, turning instantly to flee, moving so fast it was like a black dot.

Li Fan and Lu Yuan also accelerated their pace, with Sword Aura cutting through the sky, pursuing fiercely.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Li Fan gazed ahead, where a strong surge of demon energy spread out, the sky seemed to be shrouded by dark clouds, and he sensed in that direction a large presence of Sword Intent.

In the field of vision ahead, a broken city appeared, exuding an ancient aura, where demon energy and Sword Intent were both present within the dilapidated city.

"It’s luring us here." Lu Yuan frowned, seeing that the appearance of that demon wasn’t by chance, but to lure them.

Are the demons of this world ambushing human cultivators who have come here?

That demon charged into the broken city, revealing the silhouettes of many demons.

"Be careful, it’s an ambush." Li Fan said, a flash of coldness in his eyes, as a Sword Seed burst out from between his brows like lightning, with terrifying speed. A sharp sword howled in the air, targeting the demon eagle.

The demon eagle let out a terrifying screech, its claws like iron and steel, gleaming coldly as it struck at Li Fan’s Sword Seed.

The Sword Seed shone with runic light, the Sword Aura chilling, severing the claws and piercing through the demon eagle’s neck.

Rumble...

The ground trembled as demon hordes charged towards him ferociously, exuding terrifying auras.

"They are all Sword Intent."

Li Fan’s eyes shimmered with a hint of greed, the Sword Seed hummed loudly, and a radiant glow seemed to descend upon it from the sky, making it glimmer with lightning rune light. The sword’s body expanded violently, like a Divine Weapon.

"Kill."

Li Fan’s mind moved, and the Sword Seed shot ahead.

Thud, thud, thud...

Blood splattered continuously as many demons were instantly slaughtered.

But many of the rampaging demons still charged toward Li Fan’s side, the demon tide trying to engulf the two of them.

Lu Yuan stood beside Li Fan, a bright moon appearing above her body, casting down a radiant glow infused with a chilling killing intent. The rushing demon horde slowed, and some weaker demons froze, shattered by the falling Taiyin Sword Intent, tearing their bodies apart.

Li Fan’s flying sword continued to traverse, and with the assistance of Lu Yuan’s moonlight, the slaughter became even easier.

In the distance, a hurricane approached, a terrifying demon storm sweeping towards Li Fan and Lu Yuan.

Within that demon storm, there seemed to be countless black swords, annihilating everything they passed.

Li Fan looked towards that direction, seeing a dark figure, feeling a powerful demon energy emanating from the enemy’s eyes.

The demons here obeyed his commands.

Moonlight poured down, unable to block the incoming black hurricane sword aura; even in this world of swords, the demons controlled sword attacks.

Li Fan’s thoughts moved, the Sword Seed continued to expand, like the Sword of the Stars, spanning the world, piercing the storm, and dispersing the sword aura storm.

"Buzz..."

A dangerous aura arrived, the distant dark figure traversed the void, once again whipping up the storm, transforming into a black blade aimed at Li Fan.

The surrounding demons moved with him, the terrifying momentum seemed about to engulf Li Fan’s body.

"Coming to deliver Sword Intent?" Li Fan thought coldly, and in a moment, he entered the Realm of Celestial Sword Dao, feeling the oncoming danger with increased gravity in his gaze.

"Bang."

Li Fan’s footsteps did not retreat but advanced, rushing towards the demon leader, strategically to capture the leader first, he needed to take down the demon leader to quell the demon uprising.

Lu Yuan seemed to understand Li Fan’s intentions, following closely behind him, moonlight fiercely descended, like beams of cold sword light stabbing into the demon army, trying not to let them affect Li Fan.

But the demon tide was too fierce, even with Lu Yuan unleashing extreme power, it could only serve as a limiter, not fully halt the demon army’s charge.

From within Li Fan’s body came the sound of a dragon’s roar, thunderstorms erupted, a demon dragon soared, encircling his body.

At the moment the Sword Seed pierced the storm, a terrifying aura rippled out, a destructive storm swept towards the surroundings, Li Fan’s body immediately charged forward, the tremendous power knocked the charging demons flying.

He was not merely a Sword Cultivator but also a Martial Arts cultivator with an exceptionally strong physique.

Li Fan’s sword slashed out, aiming at the dark figure, Wind Thunder Slash.

A pitch-black sword simultaneously cut out, colliding with Li Fan’s sword, while a dazzling Sword Intent erupted from the opponent’s eyes, instantly gathering into a murderous aura rolling towards Li Fan.

"It’s an attack formed from special Sword Intent."

Li Fan thought to himself, this demon leader controlled numerous Sword Intents, forging them into a method of attack.

"Boom..." In a rush, Li Fan’s internal vital energy seemed to burn, his eyes turned gold, his body like a dragon, enduring the destructive storm, and his sword extremely cut out the second strike.

The sword carried ’Li Hen’, the meaning of separation.

With a splatter... blood gushed, the head of the dark figure soared into the air, Li Fan’s body also was sent flying, blood gracing his body.

The rioting demons paused briefly seeing their leader fall, a cry of alarm sounded, Li Fan’s Sword Seed continued its harvest.

Lu Yuan saw Li Fan injured, moonlight descending while she rushed forward, swinging her sword, one demon corpse after another fell.

In an instant, the surface of the shattered city was covered with corpses.

"How is it?" Lu Yuan came to Li Fan’s side and asked.

"No worry, almost got caught," Li Fan replied, beginning to collect the Sword Intent from those demons.

Soon, a torrent of Sword Intent crazily surged towards Li Fan’s side, just from the demon leader alone, there were three thousand Sword Intents.

Adding in the slain demons, after a round of looting, a harvest of thirty thousand Sword Intents was achieved.

Li Fan shared ten thousand Sword Intents with Lu Yuan, speaking, "Let’s go, we’ll head into the city to refine the Sword Intent."

"You’re refining all for cultivation?" Lu Yuan seemed a bit reluctant: "Why not keep it, you can use a portion for cultivation, collect the rest, if the total quantity is high, an even greater opportunity can be obtained."

The two attained accumulated Sword Intents, gathered them on Li Fan alone, which would be better.

Li Fan shook his head: "No need to keep them, we have a month here, from the looks of things, we won’t lack opportunities to plunder Sword Intent, focusing first on enhancing strength."

He felt that as long as strength was enhanced, someone would deliver more.
