Chapter 896: Immortal (2)
He opened his mouth and spat out two sword pellets. The black sword pellet and the white sword pellet shot forth like lightning, cutting through the void with a roar of sword qi.
Emperor Zhao Kuangren and the others paled in alarm. When an immortal acted in anger, the power unleashed was truly terrifying. It was like divine wrath wrapped in thunder.
But Li Xiaofei merely smiled. He raised a hand, and with the grace of plucking a flower, effortlessly caught both streaks of sword light. The sword lights instantly reverted to their original pellet form, and started to lazily spin in his palm.
This scene made Xue Qing’s eyelids twitch uncontrollably. Sword pellets were one of the six great divine abilities of the Myriad Saints Immortal Sect. Nourished by one’s own immortal essence and linked to the soul, they wielded terrifying power far beyond that of ordinary sword cultivators. Yet if they were countered, the backlash could be severe.
His own sword pellet had been broken by Li Xiaofei in a similar manner. Now that even Xiao Shenghai’s Yin-Yang Sword Pellets proved just as vulnerable, Xue Qing no longer felt wronged by his defeat.
As for Xiao Shenghai himself, he was utterly stunned. "What? My swords... come back to me!"
He shouted and poured all his energy into summoning them. But there was no response. The two soul-bound treasures had been completely severed from him, as if they had vanished into the sea. They were no longer responding to his call. Even more bizarre was the fact that he felt no backlash whatsoever.
"You're far too weak." Li Xiaofei studied him for a few seconds, then slowly opened his palm.
The black and white sword pellets gently flew back and returned to Xiao Shenghai’s side.
"People only ever believe what their eyes can see," Li Xiaofei said with a calm smile. "Chief An, since you’re Lu Jiansheng’s master, I won’t make things difficult for you. If you can withstand a single sword strike from me, I will surrender myself and follow you back to the Myriad Saints Immortal Sect. How about it?"
At this point, An Wanshan no longer dared underestimate Li Xiaofei in the slightest. As the saying went, when a true expert made a move, one could tell instantly. When he witnessed Li Xiaofei effortlessly seize control of Xiao Shenghai’s sword pellets, he understood immediately that he had encountered the most unfathomable opponent of his life.
Even he, with a thorough understanding of Xiao Shenghai’s cultivation methods, could never have stripped away someone’s sword pellets so casually and easily.
