Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 468 - 464: Infighting Within the Team, the Holy Sword Pavilion Descends
Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, seemingly curious: "Oh, why can’t you buy them off?"
Li Qingyu’s expression became more anxious: "Kid, behind Liu Yu is the Liu Family. If you really let him go now, once we leave the Secret Realm, he’ll definitely turn his back on you."
Xia Feng’s expression grew more subtle, appearing as if he wanted to laugh but couldn’t quite bring it out.
Beside him, Liu Yu already felt hatred rising towards Li Qingyu.
"Li Qingyu, the Liu Family isn’t known for going back on their word in the Celestial Sword Divine Domain."
"Even if your Li Family holds sway over everything, but..."
Just then, Li Qingyu, for reasons unbeknownst, suddenly threw a small hidden weapon directly towards Liu Yu as he spoke.
Liu Yu dodged swiftly, suddenly deciding not to fight Xia Feng anymore.
He had no real enmity with Xia Feng, except perhaps a touch of greed over Xia Feng’s gains.
However, today he realized, even if he got something from Xia Feng, Li Qingyu would probably just snatch it away. Why bother continuing the struggle here?
Not to mention, Li Qingyu was continuously smearing him and even attempted to strike him.
Liu Yu’s face darkened as he looked at Li Qingyu: "Li Qingyu, I’ll remember what you did today, and in the future..."
Li Qingyu snarled, "In the future?"
"None of you have a future!"
"My mother only told me alone about the entire inheritance process of the Holy Sword Secret Realm. Even if you get something good, you’re nothing more than stepping stones for me."
"Once I claim the inheritance, I will kill all of you, leaving you no place for burial!"
"So I advise you all not to contend with me anymore. Perhaps I can grant you a swift death."
Liu Yu’s face turned as dark as a pot’s bottom, but he couldn’t help but be frightened by her words.
If Li Qingyu truly knew the inheritance process, it would be akin to possessing some sort of prophetic ability.
Moreover, since the Holy Sword Divine Emperor’s surname was Li, her chances of gaining the inheritance were indeed higher than others.
While Liu Yu was conflicted, Xia Feng, beside him, spoke with a playful smirk: "Oh? There’s such a good thing here?"
"Since you say so, I won’t kill you."
"When the inheritance opens, the three of us will just follow you."
His smile appeared harmless, but in Li Qingyu’s eyes, it was like a devil’s grin coming from hell.
"Anyway, I could seize the Blood Dragon Sword Heart from so many of you. Now that I’ve grown stronger, shouldn’t it be easier to grab your chance?"
Though Xia Feng said he wouldn’t continue killing Li Qingyu, his actions remained relentless.
In the moment of speaking alone, Li Qingyu had already used three life-saving items to fend off Xia Feng’s lethal moves.
Her complexion was worse than Liu Yu’s, her teeth trembling with fury or fear, and her gaze towards Xia Feng turned peculiarly strange.
Just as Xia Feng was about to make further moves, a ripple suddenly emanated from the room on Holy Sword Mountain.
The entire Secret Realm seemed to tremble, the Great Dao of Celestial Sword reaching its peak in an instant, almost becoming tangible.
If someone were to meditate and cultivate at this moment, even without any control over the Great Dao of Celestial Sword, they could progress leaps and bounds.
Xia Feng’s expression grew slightly solemn.
Clearly, something new was occurring on Holy Sword Mountain; Xia Feng turned to glance at Li Qingxue and Xia Tianming, shielded by the Divine Armor’s shadow.
The two were still refining the Blood Dragon Sword Heart inside the Dream Realm Pearl; he couldn’t possibly explore the situation over there now.
The people encircling him evidently understood Xia Feng’s thought; having lost so many, they had no desire to continue tangling with him.
At this moment, while he was preoccupied with the two behind him and bound to the cave, they might as well head to Holy Sword Mountain to seek new opportunities sooner.
Li Qingyu’s expression was unwilling, but those behind her kept pulling at her, softly advising, "Lady Goddess, better go check the situation on Holy Sword Mountain earlier."
"Aside from us, there might be others still within the Secret Realm. If they discover the anomaly over there..."
Li Qingyu’s face grew darker, her demeanor even more urgent: "No, Holy Sword Pavilion contains the Divine Emperor’s inheritance. That’s mine; it must not fall into other hands."
It seemed her head was out of sorts, as when she spoke these words, she forgot to keep her voice down, letting everyone around hear it loud and clear.
At this moment, everyone exchanged glances; upon hearing of the Divine Emperor inheritance over there, who would continue focusing on the irrelevant Xia Feng here.
Just as the crowd was preparing to leave for Holy Sword Mountain, Xia Feng let out a cold laugh.
"Do you think you can come and go as you please here?"
"Want to seek inheritance? Leave your lives behind first!"
After uttering this, he swiftly unleashed the Heaven-Burying Divine Technique, sword qi emanating from his body as he charged towards them relentlessly.
Originally, it was hundreds surrounding him, yet Xia Feng made it seem like he was hunting these hundreds down.
Though most were prodigies from various clans, they held several handy escape items.
Seeing people instantaneously escape his attack range with a body shifting technique, Xia Feng felt a bit regretful.
Partly regretful for their wasted items, partly instinctively sensing the threshold of First Grade Celestial God Realm through the skirmish.
Had he continued this massacre for another hour, he might break through his current bottleneck.
But it was merely wishful thinking; these people likely wouldn’t withstand half an hour under his hand.
Xia Feng shot several sharp glances at those who just attacked, planning to trouble them more once Xia Tianming and Li Qingxue refined the Blood Dragon Sword Heart.
His gaze turned distant towards Holy Sword Mountain, where at that moment, the sky was filled with a rosy glow, avenues endlessly vibrating, occasionally emitting bits of the Great Dao of Space’s waves.
A massive space vortex gradually unfolded from above, slowly squeezing out a grand palace emitting golden radiance bit by bit.
Stroking his chin, Xia Feng estimated that at its current rate, it would take at least another hour for the palace to fully emerge from the space vortex.
