Chapter 16 Protecting the Shortcomings
Li Hongyi faced the massive Buddhist Giant Handprint in the air above with a sense of despair. Suddenly, she felt an intensely sharp Sword Intent emanating from behind her. She couldn't help but glance back, only to see sword light flowing around Li Fan's body, exuding unparalleled sharpness.
"Sword Cultivator!"
Li Hongyi's beautiful eyes sparkled. Although Li Fan's Dharma Form had already manifested as a sword previously, it hadn't qualified to call him a true Sword Cultivator.
True Sword Cultivators possess unparalleled killing power. They nurture their Sword Seeds with their mana and soul essence, becoming one with the sword.
Around them, the swords in the hands of the female Ghost Cultivators trembled ever more violently, humming as if ready to escape their grip and fly towards Li Fan. Even the iron steeds beneath Cao Gong and the Demon Suppression Knights appeared to shudder.
"What an exceptional Sword Cultivator." Cao Gong's gaze sharpened, his suspicions appeared confirmed—it must be true, this young man came from that place. Within a thousand-mile radius, there was only one place capable of producing such a Sword Cultivator.
Even now, major figures from Chuzhou were on their way, arriving within days. It seemed like another great opportunity. Whether he could rise through the ranks depended on whether he could seize this chance, albeit with certain risks.
The massive Buddhist handprint descended with overwhelming pressure, and Li Fan raised his arm, extending a single finger to pierce directly towards it.
The golden handprint's oppressive force was terrifying enough to crush flesh and bone instantly, let alone challenge it with a single finger. The scene looked as futile as a mantis trying to stop a cart.
However, when his finger reached the massive Buddhist handprint, a crisp "crack" resounded. Cracks began appearing all over the golden handprint, as though countless strands of Sword Aura flowed within it.
"Boom..."
