Free Web NovelChapter 314: Chapter 120: Out of Sight, Head-to-Head Confrontation
As he visualized, it was the spring day when all things sprouted, insects stirred, and the sky had startling thunder, awakening the earth.
This finger move, erupting with the murderous intent born in an instant, was indeed extraordinary in its manipulation of power.
Li Xuan immediately began contemplating how to apply the "Thunder Shock Finger" to his flying sword.
With his exceptional talent, he soon had a minor epiphany, realizing that his previous method of using the flying sword was too crude.
Firstly, he expended too much of his own energy, and secondly, the flying sword suffered excessive losses during its thrust.
As he was thinking, he suddenly felt the sound of flying swords from afar.
Li Xuan naturally stepped out of his room, and saw in the distance, the rain had just stopped, the ground was wet, and the mountain lodge and ancient building reflected a faint water light...
And Feng Mengrou was practicing sword in a purple robe. freewebnøvel.com
Among the water-light scenery, the purple-robed sword cultivator, red lips and pearl sleeves, the sword spinning while she rotated; her feet lightly tread on clear water, as gracefully as a dragonfly skimming the water, dispersing ripples, her movements were truly a feast for the eyes.
She practiced with extraordinary dedication, not noticing Li Xuan’s gaze.
"Senior Sister Feng..."
Li Xuan looked at the female cultivator and finally walked over.
Feng Mengrou saw him and still didn’t stop, but completed a set of "Lingyi Swordsmanship" before pausing slightly and looking at Li Xuan with a somewhat inexplicably complex expression.
Pride yet inferiority, worry yet determination...
"Junior Brother!"
Senior Sister Feng blinked her eyes, looking at him.
Li Xuan said, "Practicing sword so early?"
Feng Mengrou said, "I... I... I want to keep up with Junior Brother’s pace."
She always thought she was stronger than Li Xuan, and although Li Xuan was exceptionally gifted, he still needed time to catch up to her, but... these past few days have seen everything turned upside down.
The two words ’Dao Companion’ are very real, akin to the worldly concept of a well-matched marriage.
In the world, matches need to be equal, and Dao Companions need compatible strength.
If the strength gap is too big, how can they be Dao Companions?
This is an unwritten rule among cultivators, which everyone follows.
Li Xuan regarded Senior Sister.
His utilization of Senior Sister had actually concluded...
Senior Sister completed all that he had anticipated.
And her feelings for him were indeed entirely influenced by his Spirit, right? If Senior Sister awoke and considered all the discrepancies, what would her feelings towards him be?
Fear?
Hatred?
Or... Love?
"Why are you looking at me?" Feng Mengrou wasn’t shy, only gave a charming smile.
Li Xuan suddenly said, "I want to make a promise with Senior Sister."
"What promise?" Feng Mengrou felt sweet inside.
Li Xuan said, "A seven-year promise."
Feng Mengrou asked, "What is it?"
Li Xuan solemnly said, "After solving the matters of the Lingyi Sect, I might leave. But this time, I hope Senior Sister can stay in the sect and cultivate diligently. Seven years later, I will return to meet Senior Sister."
He paused, then smiled and said, "If by that time, Senior Sister is still willing to be my Dao Companion, I will hold her hand and soar together."
He smiled as he spoke, but quickly became calm, appearing extremely serious.
Feng Mengrou was completely stunned.
She asked herself: ’Why seven years?’
But soon, she gave herself a reason: ’Junior Brother said this surely with his reasoning, and it would be good to cultivate diligently and catch up with Junior Brother’s pace in seven years.’
Thinking of this, she also smiled and said, "What you said, no regrets allowed!"
Li Xuan said, "No regrets, at that time, as long as Senior Sister is willing to accept me, I will protect Senior Sister for a lifetime."
Feng Mengrou laughed very sweetly and said, "Then you must marry me!"
Li Xuan nodded with a smile and said, "Seven years."
Feng Mengrou said, "It’s a deal!"
Li Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Now that I am the Feiguang Peak Master, although I have not yet found the legacy of Feiguang Peak, it is only a matter of time. I will inform everyone that the sword control skill legacy of Feiguang Peak, Senior Sister can share."
"This... this... this wouldn’t be good, would it?" Feng Mengrou waved her hand repeatedly, although she was indeed envious of the Peak Master’s legacy...
At this moment, Li Xuan suddenly took out a thumb-sized brocade box and tossed it out.
Feng Mengrou caught it and opened it, only to find inside lay a soybean.
Li Xuan said, "The legacy Spirit Treasure of Feiguang Peak, it can save you in critical moments."
He had already learned a thing or two about this from his adoptive mother, but since it might be a one-time use, its power was simply untestable.
Li Xuan did not want to use this uncertain thing as a backup, nor did he want to waste it testing its power aimlessly, especially as different Spirit Treasures had different powers and were hard to compare. Giving it to Senior Sister at this time was indeed the best choice.
Feng Mengrou said, "Junior Brother, no, it’s too precious, I..."
Li Xuan smiled and said, "Keep it, refine it quickly."
Feng Mengrou said, "No, still, give it to you."
Li Xuan said, "You won’t listen to me?"
Feng Mengrou said, "Then... alright. Thank you, Junior Brother."
As the two spoke, in the distance, another flying sword soared by.
Li Xuan no longer looked at Senior Sister Feng, drew his sword, and greeted it.
The visitors were Hua Xiaoying and Luo E, mother and daughter.
The three swung their swords toward the distance, stopping at a mountaintop.
Luo E spoke without words, "You actually gave the Spirit Treasure to Feng Mengrou..." freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Li Xuan didn’t answer.
Hua Xiaoying smiled and asked, "Xuan’Er, how have you rested?"
Li Xuan said, "Replying to adoptive mother, I have rested well."
Hua Xiaoying said, "I and Peak Master Shui have already dispatched many disciples to explore outside, if we find any more disciples of the Lishan Six Alliances nearby, we will immediately launch a clean-up and capture.
The Lishan Six Alliances, in terms of strength, are actually just a bit stronger than our Lingyi Sect.
Right now, the biggest concern is that Demon Bear Ji Changfeng might be nearby."
Li Xuan nodded.
This is actually almost inevitable.
He had long been prepared for this.
