My Martial Dao Has No Bottlenecks

Chapter 221 - 121: Killing for Treasure (4)

Profound Yin Sword Technique·Shattering Origin

A gray-black thread, condensed to its absolute limit, shot directly toward Li Feng!

Li Feng’s figure blurred as he dodged the attack. He then lunged straight for Liang Cheng, employing a bizarre and unpredictable Body Technique. His speed was even greater than before, his trajectory even harder to follow.

At the same time, the faint blue foil in his hand struck out like a viper, silently aiming for Liang Cheng’s throat. The sword path was devious and cruel, and a wave of bone-chillingly sinister Sword Qi preceded it.

Liang Cheng’s pupils shrank. He executed his Wandering Dragon Step, sidestepping the attack while swinging his Zhenxian Saber in a Horizontal Slash, meeting offense with offense.

The instant the saber was about to connect, Li Feng twisted his body at an unbelievable angle. The trajectory of his foil remained unchanged, still aimed at Liang Cheng’s neck.

Liang Cheng switched tactics to defend, and his saber met the foil.

CLANG!

The force from the foil wasn’t overwhelming, but it was exceptionally condensed and venomous. It transmitted through the saber’s blade, causing the wrist of Liang Cheng’s saber-hand to go slightly numb.

’What devious Swordsmanship! What venomous True Essence!’

Liang Cheng’s heart skipped a beat. He knew he had met a worthy opponent.

He focused with all his might, unleashing his Wind and Thunder Slash to its absolute limit. His saber flashes became a violent tempest, and the sound of wind and thunder echoed through the valley.

Li Feng didn’t dare to meet the attack head-on. He felt a pang of regret. ’It seems Liang Cheng’s injuries haven’t affected his condition at all. I was too rash.’

But there was no retreating now. He steeled himself and attacked with all his might. A faint blue light pulsed from the tip of his foil as he aimed to grievously wound Liang Cheng with a single strike.

However, just as the foil’s tip was about to pierce him, Liang Cheng’s body lunged forward and contracted, dodging the fatal blow.

Mixed Element Gang Body!

At the same time, Liang Cheng drew the Sleeve Sword he had won at the Treasure Pavilion auction. Like a hidden dragon emerging from the abyss, he silently thrust it upward!

Profound Yin Sword Technique·Shattering Origin!

His target: Li Feng’s heart!

PFFT!

With a soft sound, a sharp pain blossomed in Li Feng’s chest. A sinister, cold, and piercing Power invaded his body, making his meridians feel as if they were being stabbed by ice needles. His entire body went numb!

’A madman!’

’He’s trading his life for mine?!’

The color drained from his face in horror, and he hastily retreated.

But how could Liang Cheng let such a golden opportunity slip by? He stuck to Li Feng like a shadow, his Zhenxian Saber unleashing a brilliant flash of cyan and purple light.

Wind and Thunder Slash·Ninth Layer Thunder Sound!

Li Feng’s Protective True Essence shattered, followed by the sound of breaking bones!

"AHHH—!"

Li Feng let out a wretched scream. His left shoulder was nearly cleaved open, and blood gushed out. He staggered, his speed greatly reduced.

Liang Cheng pressed his advantage, ignoring the stinging pain in his own left shoulder. He took a step forward, his saber flashing again as he chopped straight for Li Feng’s head!

But Li Feng acted with complete disregard for his own safety. He poured all his remaining True Essence into his foil, causing the faint blue light around it to flare. Ignoring his own defense, he thrust his sword back at Liang Cheng’s heart, determined to take him down with him!

However, Liang Cheng was a vastly experienced fighter and had already anticipated this. His Saber Momentum subtly shifted mid-air; the chop turned into a slap as the flat of his blade heavily struck the body of Li Feng’s incoming foil.

CLANG!

The foil was knocked aside, scraping past Liang Cheng’s ribs and tearing away a piece of his clothing.

In that same instant, Liang Cheng’s left-handed Sleeve Sword struck like a venomous dragon lashing out from its den, viciously plunging into Li Feng’s heart!

THUD!

Li Feng was sent flying backward like a broken sack. He slammed heavily against the rock wall before sliding to the ground. Blood, mixed with fragments of his internal organs, poured from his mouth. It was clear he wasn’t going to make it.

The foil in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

Liang Cheng let out a muffled grunt and retreated three steps, using his saber to support himself. A trickle of blood escaped the corner of his mouth.

He took a few deep breaths to suppress his roiling Qi Blood, then walked over to Li Feng.

Li Feng’s eyes were losing focus, but he stared deathly at Liang Cheng, his lips twitching. "The Li Family... will not let you... go..."

Expressionless, Liang Cheng swung his saber and ended Li Feng’s life.

He bent down and searched Li Feng’s body, finding a few bottles of elixirs and a token.

The Li Family.

Liang Cheng mulled it over for a moment. ’I don’t know much about the powers in Yunhai City, but any family with several True Essence Realm guards must be significant.’

He then turned and walked over to the corpse of the Mountain-Devouring Ghost Ape. With a flick of his saber’s tip, he retrieved the dark cyan Tier Three Demon Core from within its body.

He also picked up the Yin Marrow Pearl that had rolled to the side and placed it in a Jade Box. His movements were crisp and efficient, without a single wasted motion.

Only then did he let out a slight sigh of relief. He swallowed a Replenishing Essence Pill, sat down cross-legged, and began to circulate his energy to regulate his condition and treat the minor wound on his left shoulder, all while remaining vigilant of his surroundings.

Once he had finished recovering, he piled the bodies of Young Master Li and his guards together, tossed the token into the middle, and prepared to light a fire to burn them to ashes.

But just then, a voice suddenly came from outside the valley.

"As expected of a Main Courtyard disciple. Such impressive skill!"
