CHAPTER 307: CHAPTER 302 PROVOCATION

Liu Liangchen’s expression changed when he saw Li Fan ignoring him, as Li Fan’s previous actions showed a disregard for everything.

Now, even here in the West Emperor Palace, Li Fan dares to ignore him.

"Are you silent because you don’t regard the cultivators who are present or do you not hold the West Emperor Palace in your eyes?" Liu Liangchen was not going to let Li Fan off easily and tried to put him in a difficult position.

Those around him also gave cold stares in Li Fan’s direction, and a man beside Song Siyu said, "I heard you disregard everyone, and killed other cultivators on West Emperor Island. Seeing you today, it seems true indeed."

Li Fan shook his head with a smile; these people were truly annoying.

He originally planned to cultivate peacefully and practice demon slaying, but some people are unwilling to let him be.

"If I didn’t regard the West Emperor Palace, why would I enter the West Emperor Palace, participate in the Demon Slaying Summit, and stay to slay demons?" Li Fan looked at the other party and sarcastically said, "Regarding my previous feud with the Song Family, the Great Elder has already made a decision, yet you still provoke me incessantly, questioning the Great Elder’s judgement? Who exactly doesn’t hold the West Emperor Palace in their eyes?"

After speaking, he glanced at Liu Liangchen and Song Siyu again, indifferently saying, "I have no intention of showing off, hence I don’t bother with your provocations. I respect the West Emperor Palace, but I don’t think much of you people, chattering and being noisy. If you have this capability, kill some more demons."

Beside him, Luo Qingyan let out a sarcastic laugh, looking at the handsome face beside her. This guy truly doesn’t care about the occasion.

"Such arrogance." A Condensed Core cultivator coldly said, "Since you look down on the West Emperor Palace cultivators, then who do you look up to?"

"I didn’t say I look down on West Emperor Palace cultivators, just you guys." Li Fan corrected them.

"Since you’ve said this, I have no choice but to ask for guidance." Liu Liangchen stood up and headed toward the Martial Arts Arena, nodding at Song Siyu.

"Be careful, Senior Brother." Song Siyu used Divine Sense to transmit her voice, then retreated into the crowd, looking in Li Fan’s direction.

Liu Liangchen looked at Li Fan; he was Song Siyu’s senior brother and a core disciple of the West Emperor Palace. To be accepted as a direct disciple by the elders of the West Emperor Palace on West Emperor Island implies being a genius among geniuses.

Someone like Song Siyu’s father, Song Xiang, only works for the West Emperor Palace and actually holds a lesser status than his daughter Song Siyu.

Liu Liangchen was at the Mid Stage of Condensed Core Realm with formidable combat power. Although Li Fan killed Song Xiang, he must have used some means, and Liu Liangchen believed his combat power was not inferior to Song Xiang.

Moreover, Li Fan had spoken this far, and to not step forward would be too shameful.

The crowd at the Demon Slaying Summit grew interested; as it had been going on, only minor skirmishes occurred while the truly formidable figures had yet to act.

This was Yang Qingshan, now the prominent figure on the island.

But Liu Liangchen was a genius cultivator from the West Emperor Palace.

They were curious about who was stronger.

Could Li Fan, this arrogant man, have the strength to defeat the West Emperor Palace’s genius cultivator?

"Do you dare?" Liu Liangchen asked again since Li Fan wasn’t moving.

Li Fan showed a smile, seeing that there wasn’t anything precious at the Demon Slaying Summit, he didn’t have great expectations and intended just to be a spectator.

Nonetheless, Song Siyu persisted, and her senior brother joined in to stir trouble.

Therefore, he’d have to teach them to behave.

"Idiots." Luo Qingyan whispered, those around her were startled by her muttering; these people truly were arrogant.

Do even the genius cultivators of the West Emperor Palace deserve no regard?

"Those who can enter the West Emperor Palace are one in a thousand, they are the brightest on West Emperor Island." Sun Zhao whispered behind Li Fan.

In their corner, unaware of the vastness of the world, it’s no wonder they are arrogant, unaware of the talent beyond their realm.

Li Fan came from the inner land, with extraordinary talent clearly surpassing Song Siyu and others, yet Liu Liangchen possessed the superior feeling of a West Emperor Palace cultivator seeking to humiliate Li Fan.

Ultimately, it’s merely self-inflicted disgrace.

Only their group knew exactly Li Fan’s combat prowess, even a Mid Stage Condensed Core realm cultivator from the West Emperor Palace was no match.

"Why is it that a Mid Stage Condensed Core cultivator challenging me, an Initial Stage Condensed Core cultivator, is considered honorable?" Li Fan spoke with a mocking smile, causing Liu Liangchen’s eyebrows to twitch, before hearing Li Fan continue, "Of course, to me it makes no difference. If you were truly at Initial Condensed Core, you wouldn’t dare come out and spout arrogance, thinking you have an advantage with a higher realm and hence believing you can best me."

Liu Liangchen’s expression became increasingly cold, Li Fan’s words struck a chord.

Although being a West Emperor Palace cultivator, Li Fan’s previous achievements were too outstanding, if truly at the same realm, he wouldn’t dare come out and provoke.

Nonetheless, he believed being one realm higher, he could suppress Li Fan.

"Frog in a well."

Li Fan stepped forward and uttered words, causing the West Emperor Palace’s cultivators to glare angrily.

Was he calling Liu Liangchen a frog in a well?

Was he calling the genius cultivators of West Emperor Palace frogs in a well?

This statement made them feel particularly offended.

"Regarding the matter with the Song Family, it’s already settled by the Great Elder himself. I did not wish to continue entangling in this, yet you regard your status too highly, feeling affronted."

Li Fan walked in the void, entering the Martial Arts Arena, looking across at Liu Liangchen and said, "The Demon Slaying Summit brings together cultivators from the West Sea Island and even the inner land, here to slay demons. I remain in the West Emperor Palace to slay demons and eradicate evil, however, as West Emperor Palace cultivators, you are narrow-minded, so let me see your worth."

Though Li Fan is an Initial Stage Condensed Core cultivator, the aura he exudes is extremely oppressive. Entering the battlefield, his presence seemed to suppress the West Emperor Palace’s genius cultivator, Liu Liangchen.

Who is the guest?

Who is the host?

This was Yang Qingshan, intending to turn from guest to host.

Standing in the Martial Arts Arena, Sword Intent permeated the heavens and earth, in that moment, he transformed into a sword, an exceedingly sharp sword, and his whole aura underwent metamorphosis in an instant.

Many sword cultivators were present in the Martial Arts Arena, including several sword cultivators from West Flame Island, they became interested upon seeing the Sword Intent flowing from Li Fan.

"This sword cultivator seems decent." One person said from the direction of West Flame Island sword cultivators, arms folded.

"This one’s Sword Dao is extraordinary, not to be underestimated; he might also hail from a renowned Sword Dao sect." Yuwen Jing beside him said.

"Since Senior Brother says so, then let’s see how sharp this sword cultivator’s sword is." The sword cultivator smiled.

"Dare speak to West Emperor Island’s people like that, truly worthy of being a sword cultivator." Another person commented with interest, though not too concerned.

A genius sword cultivator?

On West Flame Island, which sword cultivator is not a genius?

Although West Emperor Palace is also a top force in the West Sea, it’s merely a worldly power, how could it compare to West Flame Island.

The number of cultivators on West Flame Island is far fewer than that of the West Emperor Palace, extremely rare, yet a sword cultivator from West Flame Island highly excels any from the West Emperor Palace.

In the sky above the Martial Arts Arena, Sword Aura whistled, seemingly countless sharp swords flowed in mid-air, growing increasingly numerous, Li Fan stepped onto the sword, walking towards Liu Liangchen.

Every step he took heightened the Sword Intent further, pressing upon Liu Liangchen.

"Since you want to shine, I will grant you that." Li Fan’s voice also turned sharp, piercing towards the opponent.

"Do you truly think there’s no one in the West Emperor Palace?" Liu Liangchen responded coldly, his body simultaneously radiated sharp energy, Sword Aura flowed around him causing the crowd to show surprise, he was a sword cultivator as well?

"Song Siyu and Liu Liangchen are fellow disciples under the same elder, who practices Sword Dao in the Sixth Realm, therefore many of his disciples practice Sword Dao." A person who knew the situation said among the crowd.

"Sword cultivators are proficient in combat; Yang Qingshan’s reliance surely is Sword Dao, now, Liu Liangchen also practices Sword Dao and his realm is higher, making this duel increasingly exciting." The crowd grew even more interested.

Behind Liu Liangchen, dazzling golden light shone, revealing a swaying golden ancient tree, his Innate Dharma Form.

A golden willow tree, seemingly alive, swaying golden branches emanated Sword Dao’s radiant flow, in an instant Sword Intent filled the sky, accompanied by a breeze, as the willow tree swayed, Sword Intent flowed.

"Yang Qingshan, you act high and mighty, relying on your sword’s sharpness, you even disregard West Emperor Palace, believing you’re the sole sword cultivator in the world." Liu Liangchen’s sharpness also erupted, whistling Sword Intent instantly enveloped the space, covering where Li Fan was standing.

He possesses Innate Dharma Form, simultaneously practices Sword Dao, and his realm is higher than Li Fan, he wants to see how Li Fan will defeat him.
