Chapter 131 - 127 Turbulence
In the depths of Yun Meng Swamp, a black mist surged, the surrounding trees rustled endlessly, ancient trunks swayed, and demon energy blanketed the area.
A figure stood amidst the black mist, wearing a silver mask and a black robe, holding a sharp sword. His aura exuded an unyielding coldness; this was none other than Li Fan.
The sword in his hand was the mystical "Tianxing Sword," a gift from his grandmaster. The blade carried its own Sword Intent, functioning as a cultivator’s magical treasure, enhancing its power. Though rarely used in everyday circumstances, it was perfectly suited for the dangerous environment of Yun Meng Swamp.
Laughter arose from the surroundings, echoing from different directions alongside a mocking voice, "A Soul Emergence Realm cultivator, do you even know where you got the audacity to come here alone?"
The voice was a piercing female tone, carrying venomous hints, as the black mist teemed with poison that began to corrode Li Fan’s body. Suddenly, a roar thundered from within him, devouring all traces of the toxic mist.
"How can a human like you possess such a strong amount of demon energy?" The shrill voice asked again. Li Fan closed his eyes and replied coldly, "You talk too much nonsense."
*At this moment, he merged into the Unity of Heaven and Man state, blending harmoniously with the surrounding environment. His Divine Sense detected every movement near him.* A surge of concentrated demonic energy appeared directly overhead.
The Sword Intent of his Tianxing Sword erupted vividly as he unleashed a swift, graceful stroke; the blade gleamed with Wind and Thunder Intent, manifesting into a single slash.
A massive black serpent plummeted downward; Li Fan’s sword struck its head, spraying blood in all directions. The serpent released a heart-wrenching scream before Li Fan shadowed its every move. His flight was precise, his swings relentless—his strikes pulsed violently through the black mist, scattering beams of light that revealed severed snake heads strewn across the ground.
The colossal serpent’s body crashed heavily onto the earth. Without hesitation, Li Fan slit it open, retrieving its Demon Core and storing it within his pouch.
This Snake Demon was a Fourth Realm creature. Its deceptive Soul Emergence Realm aura naturally attracted predators from Yun Meng Swamp, saving him the trouble of seeking them out himself.
