My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 688: Chapter 654 – Invincible in Battle

Behind him, he seemed to still feel the chilling sensation brought about by the formidable sword energy brushing past him. As Li Fan looked at the place below which had transformed into a massive pit and no longer existed as Mortal City, he couldn’t help but grimace.

Luckily, his reaction was quick. Otherwise, being directly hit by this sword light and getting his body destroyed was not the worst that could happen; it might have also harmed the Cave Heaven Foundation.

Luckily, his misfortune wasn’t too excessive, and didn’t stick too closely. Otherwise, he would have been covered in Immortal-Ordinary Miasma and likely would have wound up dead on the spot!

“So far from the stone statue, yet the impact of the absorbed fortune is already this large.” Li Fan shivered a bit, calling forth and replenishing his own luck from the Feather of the Mystic Bird. At the same time, he brought the [Destiny Domain] into action quietly, preventing himself from being affected by the waning of fortune once again.

As the smoke below began to dissipate, all that could be seen at the bottom of the large pit was a wooden sword piercing straight into the ground.

It seemed kind of familiar.

“Oh my, my fellow Daoist, I’m really sorry!”

Only at this point did the owner of the wooden sword finally arrive fashionably late, looking rather embarrassed and remorseful as he apologised to Li Fan.

“It’s all due to my incompetence, nearly costing you your life!”

Li Fan looked at the person who had arrived. Even though he did not recognise Li Fan, Li Fan was not unfamiliar with him at all.

It was none other than the notorious Immortal Second Generation of the renowned Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, Frostive Immortal’s beloved son, Shuo Feng, who goes by the nickname [I am Invincible]!

Just a while ago, he had shown himself during the “friendly exchange duel” between the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization, and he was still at the God Transformation Stage.

But now looking at Shuo Feng, he seemed to be only at the Foundation Establishment Stage!

“Isn’t he hiding his cultivation? Is he undoing his cultivation due to some provocation and starting afresh?” Li Fan’s gaze swept over Shuo Feng, his eyes flashing a hint of an imperceptible glint.

“So it’s fellow Daoist Shuo Feng!” With neither humility nor arrogance, Li Fan cupped his hands in greeting, “I thought some rabble from the Five Elders Organization were causing trouble again!”

Shuo Feng’s face turned slightly red.

He didn’t find it strange that the other party knew him and hurriedly explained, “Misunderstanding, it’s really a misunderstanding. I was pondering my cultivation in the air when, for some reason, this wooden sword suddenly went out of control. Thankfully, you reacted promptly, if not I would have tragically caused unnecessary harm!”

“Hehe, it’s fine. I could tell that fellow Daoist didn’t do it intentionally. However, what’s going on with your cultivation state, fellow Daoist Shuo?” Li Fan sized up the man, an intended look of confusion on his face, before asking the question.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Shuo Feng did not hide it and candidly said, “There’s not much to it. It’s just that I felt that I was heading down the wrong path previously, so I decided to start over!”

Even though Li Fan had already known, he still put on a shocked expression. He scrutinised Shuo Feng for a while before shaking his head slightly saying, “God Transformation Stage is the ultimate goal that the vast majority of cultivators yearn to achieve in their dreams. Yet, fellow Daoist actually had such courage, to say he would start over and actually do it…”

“Impressive, very impressive!” Li Fan exclaimed, cupping his fists as a sign of respect.

With a smile, Shuo Feng didn’t take it to heart, “I’m not deserving of such high praise, fellow Daoist. What makes me stand out from the norm? It’s just that I had my mother as my safety net. Even if my fresh start fails and I remain a Foundation Establishment Cultivator for life, within the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, who would dare look down on me? However, if an ordinary cultivator failed, that could be irreparable.”

Li Fan simply smiled. He neither agreed nor disagreed.

Instead, his gaze turned to the wooden sword in the massive pit below, furrowing his brows as he said, “Even though you’re starting over, your abilities certainly can’t be compared to ordinary cultivators. From the speed and power of your wooden sword, I fear it could simply kill an average Golden Core Cultivator.”

Shuo Feng agreed, saying, “Good eye, fellow Daoist. This wooden sword…”

He paused before continuing, “To be honest, this sword is the Natural Treasure that I relied on to rebuild my foundation. But while I’ve already used it to successfully establish my foundation, I am nonetheless unable to fully control it.”

“It’s rather headache-inducing actually.” Saying that, Shuo Feng pointed his finger at the sword lying at the bottom of the pit.

However, the wooden sword in the pit only slightly shook for a moment and did not respond to Shuo Feng’s summons, as it remained stuck in the ground.

No matter how lofty his bearing, Shuo Feng couldn’t help but show a hint of embarrassment on his face.

After a light cough, Shuo Feng used his magic repeatedly, doing so three times.

Only then was he able to summon the wooden sword back to his side.

Surveying the wooden sword before his eyes, Li Fan found it hard to describe it as “ordinary”.

There were no patterns on the sword’s body, nor did it emit any profound aura.

One could even call it “simple”, just like a children’s toy carved out of wood.

However, judging by the substantial power it exhibited in the strike just now, Li Fan knew that it couldn’t be as common as it seemed.

With a thought, Li Fan suddenly proposed, “This sword, it’s kind of interesting. What a coincidence, I’ve always had some understanding of the path of the sword. Only that I’ve been frustrated in not finding a suitable opponent to compete with. So why don’t we…”

Shuo Feng, hearing the proposal, exclaimed joyfully and praised, “I’ve just had a breakthrough too, and was also worried about not finding a suitable practice opponent. Fellow Daoist’s words really hit the spot!”

With a solemn expression, Shuo Feng lightly gripped the wooden sword and moved some distance away, pointing at Li Fan from afar, “Let’s stop at the first touch!”

“Alright!” Li Fan agreed loudly.

Even before his words had finished, eighty-one blue water swords had already formed dramatically. They formed a sword array in mid-air, roaring instantaneously as they flew around Shuo Feng.

This was a killing technique that Li Fan had unleashed, using the power of the water attribute of Cave Heaven and the profundity of “The Godly Sword of Calming Seas” of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters as its core. He called upon the entire power of Cave Heaven, with full force, without any reservations despite Shuo Feng only being at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

“Water Dragon Chant!”

The blue water swords scattered like a sea of dragons in response to Li Fan’s shout, instantly dispersing and heading towards all corners of Shuo Feng’s body.

However, faced with Li Fan’s apparently brutal attack, Shuo Feng showed no fear and instead seemed pleased.

With closed eyes, as the eighty-one water swords were about to hit him, he slowly swung his wooden sword.

It looked extremely slow, yet it was exceedingly fast.

“Ding!”

“Ding!”

“Ding!”

…

Like a streak of white lightning, it continuously darted through the sea of the water dragon army.

Whenever the wooden sword and the blue water swords collided, the sound of a clear metal clang rang out.

In the blink of an eye, the wooden sword had made its way through each and every water sword.

Shuo Feng sheathed his wooden sword.

It was as if he had exhausted all his strength, his arm trembling slightly.

Yet, in the next moment, the eighty-one blue water swords, which should have been under Li Fan’s control, had turned and attacked Li Fan instead.

And moreover…

There seemed to be an even more mysterious change occurring on them, transforming into a blue water dragon that appeared to have come to life before Li Fan’s eyes.

He could faintly hear a dragon chant by his ears, with the sword energy storming towards him before he could blink.

“What is this…”

A spark of realization flashed across Li Fan’s eyes, but his reaction was not slowed by it.

The surrounding area was immediately illuminated in blue light.

A streak of sword light slashed out from Li Fan’s body, tearing through the blue water dragon like a hot knife through butter, and continued its charge without losing momentum, instantly landing at Shuo Feng’s gates.
