"Flower Fairy has been captured, I need to go save her!" Qingfeng Li immediately took off towards the Sword Aura Valley.
However, after a hundred meters or so, he saw a black puppy. It was wagging its tail, leisurely sunbathing.
"Awesome, now that I'm far away from that Devil Qingfeng, I can finally enjoy the sun again," Black Puppy sighed comfortably, squinting at the sun.
The thought of that devil irritated Black Puppy greatly. He swore that after he regained his powers, he was going to find Qingfeng Li and beat him up.
Pa!
Qingfeng Li walked to the side of Black Puppy and heard its muttering. Qingfeng Li reached out his right palm and smacked down on its head.
"Who? Who dares to hit Granddaddy Dog?" Black Puppy said angrily, holding his head with his paw as he jumped three feet into the air.
"Little puppy, do you want to be kidnapped and barbequed?" Qingfeng Li asked, codly laughing.
Hearing the familiar devilish voice, Black Puppy was instantly startled. The face he made, when he saw that it was Qingfeng Li who had hit him, was incredibly comedic.
"You, you, why are you here?"
"Little pup, what did you say before? Say it again."
"I said... I said Grandson Dog. Yes I said Grandson Dog." Black Puppy quickly siddled towards Qingfeng Li, wagging his tail.
When Qingfeng Li was not there, Black Puppy was very arrogant, calling himself Granddaddy Dog and openly planning his revenge. But once he saw Qingfeng Li, it was as if a mouse had seen a cat, as he immediately became a coward.
"Let me ask you, if both Flower Fairy and Xianzhi Qin were captured, how did you escape?" Qingfeng Li asked coldly.
Qingfeng Li knew that when he had left, Black Puppy was with both women. Now that the Flower Fairy and the others had been captured, how was it that Black Puppy was here? Qingfeng Li suspected the puppy was a deserter.
Watching the coldness appear in Qingfeng Li's eyes, Black Puppy was startled. He immediately responded, "Erjian Zhao and his followers were extremely despicable. They caught the Flower Fairy and the others, so I ran to tell you about it."
"Little pup, you better not be lying to me. You know I won't spare you."Qingfeng Li glared at the puppy before running towards the Sword Aura Valley.
As for Black Puppy, although unwillingly, it followed Qingfeng Li.
After an hour, Qingfeng Li had returned to the Sword Aura Valley. He was enraged by the sight in front of him.
Flower Fairy, Xianzhi Qin and the others were tied up and thrown on the ground by Erjian Zhao and his followers.
Flower Fairy's originally delicate face was now covered in dust, looking a little dirty.
"Erjian Zhao, release Flower Fairy and my friends," Qingfeng Li said coldly, his face dim.
Seeing Qingfeng Li's arrival, Erjian Zhao was delighted. He didn't expect Qingfeng Li would be brave enough to show up, and concluded that abducting Flower Fairy was the right move.
As for the disciples of other sects, they were stunned as well.
"Qingfeng Li's seriously brave, he actually came back!"
"I thought that he wouldn't come, but he actually showed up for Flower Fairy."
"No hero can pass the test of a beauty. Flower Fairy is an incredible beauty so its reasonable that, For her, Qingfeng Li is willing to give up his life."
Qingfeng Li's arrival sent everyone into shock, as they didn't expect for him to actually show up.
Although he was here, everyone was not optimistic about his outcome. They thought that he was here to die because, after all, Erjian Zhao, Zhuang Hei, and the rest were all incredibly powerful.
"Qingfeng Li, give me the sword energy grass and I will naturally release Flower Fairy," Erjian Zhao sneered coldly.
Beside him, Zhuang Hei, Gang Pan, Xue Ta, among others, were all watching Qingfeng Li with bone chilling eyes. Their intent was clear; they wanted the sword energy grass.
"The sword energy grass is on me. Why don't you fight me? If you manage to defeat me, it'll naturally be yours." Qingfeng Li fabricated a lie, smiling lightly.
In fact, the sword energy grass had long been consumed by Qingfeng, being transformed into his fiery sword intent. However, he had to lie to placate Erjian Zhao or otherwise, if the latter was angered, he may kill Flower Fairy.
His plan was simple, to say that he had the sword energy grass on him. It was not like his opponent had a clue anyway.
"Alright then, I will beat you first before taking it," Erjian Zhao said coldly, laughing.
Keng!
Erjian Zhao pulled out his Silver Snow Sword and walked towards Qingfeng Li.
"Silver Snow Crossing Sky." Erjian Zhao let out a low roar as he used the Silver Snow sword technique. His sword transformed into a giant snowflake shaped mass of sword energy, striking towards Qingfeng Li.
"Fire sword intent." Qingfeng Li roared also, attacking directly with his fire sword intent. A sword energy light veil formed on top of the surrounding ten feet radius, with a red flame burning within.
Shoo!
Qingfeng Li swung the Red Fiery Sword in his hand, firing a red bolt of flames and directly cutting the Silver Snow Sword in two.
Previously, Qingfeng Li was evenly matched with Erjian Zhao, but now that he had learnt the sword intent, he managed to break Erjian Zhao's Silver Snow Sword with one strike.
The Silver Snow Sword was an Earthly spiritual device but in the face of Qingfeng Li's sword intent, it was completely useless.
"You, you, you actually learned...sword intent," Erjian Zhao stuttered, terrified.
Sword intent was a legendary existence, as attacks infused with it were extremely powerful, being able to cut swords with a single strike.
Although the Silver Snow Sword was powerful, it was still no match for sword intent.
Along with shock, Erjian Zhao was also incredibly envious. Even he hadn't learnt the ways of sword intent as it required an extremely high degree of talent.
"You can die now." Qingfeng Li laughed coldly as he trapped Erjian Zhao with his sword intent before lashing out with the Red Fiery Sword.
Pu-ch!
Under the ruthless attack of the sword intent, Erjian Zhao couldn't even react. His head was immediately cut off, his blood spewing out instantly. His head rolled off, with eyes still filled with disbelief and fear.
One of the three geniuses of the Sword Dao within the Heavenly Sword Sect, Erjian Zhao ----- dead.
'Holy shit, am I seeing this correctly? Erjian Zhao is ranked number ten on the Earth List, yet Qingfeng Li killed him with one strike?!"
"No you're seeing it right. I think I might be dreaming. It's Erjian Zhao of the Heavenly Sword Sect! One of the three geniuses of the Sword Dao! How did he die from only one strike?!"
"Qingfeng is seriously too powerful. I think he's a super genius, definitely ranking in the top ten of the Earth List.
Everyone discussed in awe. They were completely shocked, their mouths gaping.
There were many people in the self-cultivation world and every realm had its list. The True Spirit Realm had the 'Spirit List', the Earthly Spirit realm had the 'Earth List', the Heavenly Realm had the 'Heaven List', and so on and so forth.
Of course, these lists were only created for the geniuses of the younger generation, that is, the geniuses under thirty. Like the Lord of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Tianjian Zhao, although he was a late-stage master of the Earthly Spirit realm, he was older than thirty so he was not included on the Earth List.
As he was ranked tenth on the Earth List amongst the younger generation, Erjian Zhao's death would surely create a ruckus.
