Given Yan Xuan’s strength, if he were to obtain the Red Flame Sword, even the combined forces of Chu Fengmian and Han Yueli would not be his match.
"Now you want to take it back? Too late! Once the secret technique is activated, the Red Flame Sword belongs to me!"
Yan Xuan laughed arrogantly upon hearing Han Yueli’s voice.
"Pretty lady, I’ll kill this boy first, and then we can play slowly!"
A dismissive smile appeared on Chu Fengmian’s lips.
"No one has ever taken a spiritual artifact from Chu’s hands!"
Chu Fengmian uttered the word indifferently, and suddenly, a dragon’s might appeared.
In Chu Fengmian’s palm, the trembling of the Red Flame Sword’s blade stopped at once.
The Red Flame Sword had indeed been inscribed with seals, but it had already been re-tempered by Chu Fengmian.
Especially the Red Flame Sword, which had been refined by Chu Fengmian with a blood sacrifice, had its seals completely destroyed by now.
The Red Flame Sword could now only be controlled by Chu Fengmian alone.
"Still won’t work? Then Chu shall make a move!"
With a great laugh, Chu Fengmian moved swiftly, charging towards Yan Xuan.
He brandished the Red Flame Sword fiercely with a single slash.
The moment this sword was unleashed, it actually caused a slight vibration in the surrounding space, an ability that could only be achieved by a power nearing the Wind-Riding Realm.
With Chu Fengmian’s full force, his strike was almost reaching the strength of the Wind-Riding Realm.
The spatial vibration made even Yan Xuan’s figure involuntarily retreat to dodge the edge of the Red Flame Sword!
"Fine! If I can’t control the Red Flame Sword now, I will kill you first! Then, I will take the Red Flame Sword back!"
Yan Xuan roared, and the colorful flames on his body suddenly formed into a huge vortex. Within this vortex, a giant eyeball flickered into existence.
This eye, upon focusing, exerted immense pressure, forcing both Chu Fengmian and Han Yueli to counter with their moves.
"This isn’t good! It’s the Heaven-Shocking Eye! The ancient Huan clan’s most powerful being’s eyes—if he sights us, we will be scorched by the colorful flames, unable to even flee!"
Han Yueli exclaimed in alarm upon seeing the Heaven-Shocking Eye congeal.
The flames emitted by the Heaven-Shocking Eye were inescapable; no one could outrun the speed of sight.
The moment the Heaven-Shocking Eye set its gaze on Chu Fengmian and Han Yueli, two streams of flame transformed into roaring fire dragons.
"The Heaven-Shocking Eye? The ancient Huan clan is indeed mightily powerful, but with your diluted bloodline, what can it really amount to!"
Chu Fengmian said with disdain.
Upon uttering the word.
A heaven-shocking Sword Intent suddenly burst forth from Chu Fengmian’s body.
This Sword Intent was far more terrifying than any sword cultivator within the martial realm of the kingdom.
Han Yueli, standing beside Chu Fengmian, was shocked at the eruption of Sword Intent.
Such terrifying Sword Intent, not even some Sword Dao saints might be able to unleash.
What kind of a monster was Chu Fengmian to possess such terrifying Sword Intent!
This Sword Intent seemed to reach its peak; although the burst of power wasn’t at the pinnacle of the Sword Dao, it was not due to Chu Fengmian’s lack of comprehension, but limited by his current power.
"The Sword Intent from my past life’s arduous cultivation! Let’s test it on you this time!"
Chu Fengmian laughed aloud.
"Reverse Heaven and Earth!"
Chu Fengmian swung the Red Flame Sword in his hand.
A gigantic Sword Qi, measuring twenty to thirty meters in length, slashed towards Yan Xuan instantly.
This Sword Qi moved as fast as lightning, reaching Yan Xuan’s side in the blink of an eye.
One of Yan Xuan’s arms was completely severed by this strike of Sword Qi.
This was only possible because Yan Xuan reacted extremely fast; had he been a bit slower, Yan Xuan would have already been cut in half at the waist by Chu Fengmian.
"Heavenly Eye of Blazing Radiance! Eradicate him for me!"
Having his arm severed, immense pain engulfed Yan Xuan’s heart, fueling his rage even further.
The colossal Heavenly Eye of Blazing Radiance above also felt Yan Xuan’s fury, and an even more enormous flame burst forth.
A surging sea of fire suddenly blocked Chu Fengmian’s path.
Chu Fengmian slashed out once more with his sword.
Such powerful swordmanship, if wielded by any other martial artist, would be impossible to execute in quick succession. But now Chu Fengmian had Divine Veins.
With such swordsmanship, even if he were to strike a hundred times in a row, it wouldn’t be a problem!
With a fierce shout from Chu Fengmian, the Sword Qi cut through the sea of fire, soared into the sky, and struck the Heavenly Eye of Blazing Radiance.
The vast vortex was forcibly cleaved in two, and the enormous eyeball within instantly shattered.
Yan Xuan’s strongest move, the Heavenly Eye of Blazing Radiance, was broken by Chu Fengmian!
"Damn it! How can there be such a monstrous martial artist? He’s no longer human! He’s a demon!"
Yan Xuan looked at Chu Fengmian, and his face drastically changed.
The Heavenly Eye of Blazing Radiance was his most powerful gambit; its reveal was meant to quickly kill Chu Fengmian and seize the Red Flame Sword.
But now, even the Heavenly Eye of Blazing Radiance had been easily shattered. Where could he find the strength to resist anymore?
This single thought dominated Yan Xuan’s mind.
With Yan Xuan’s strongest asset being no match for Chu Fengmian, if he didn’t escape now, what other choice did he have?
His figure turned into a fiery red light and instantly fled towards the mountains.
"Chu Fengmian, you just wait. Once the elders of the Candle Flame Sect learn about the Red Flame Sword, it will be the end of you!"
Yan Xuan bellowed as he hurriedly fled.
Wishing he could unleash all his Spiritual Power for escape.
Within this Holy Land, there were some Candle Flame Sect disciples with power enough to command the winds. Just finding them would be enough to kill Chu Fengmian.
As long as he escaped, Chu Fengmian would sooner or later be a dead man.
"He must not escape!"
Han Yueli’s face changed dramatically, and with a move of her hand, a streak of cyan Sword Edge was unleashed.
"Ice Lotus Sword Technique?"
Seeing this streak of Sword Edge, Chu Fengmian’s eyes shifted and he suddenly understood where he had seen this sword technique of Han Yueli’s.
"How does Han Yueli know this particular sword technique!"
Chu Fengmian pondered as he furrowed his brows.
This cyan Sword Edge turned into a string of ice lotuses in midair and morphed into a Sword Qi, slashing towards Yan Xuan.
A sword struck Yan Xuan’s back.
Yan Xuan winced in pain, but his figure never stopped.
To stop now meant death; even through the pain, he had to escape with all his might.
