Chapter 84
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Although Li Fenglan had never been to Endless Purgatory before, this was not the first time he had seen this scene.
Despite being mentally prepared, Li Fenglan couldn’t help but hold his breath as the eerie green flames approached him. In that instant, his skin felt an indescribable scorching sensation, as if the flames were about to burn him to ashes in an instant.
If it weren’t for his spiritual power protecting him, that feeling would have become a reality.
Following the guidance of Finished Karma, Li Fenglan moved forward without hesitation. He had only seen Endless Purgatory in the memories of others, and he had no clear understanding of its size. Now, he finally realized that this purgatory, filled with Baishi Underworld fire, seemed to have no end.
After who knows how long, an extremely pure spiritual energy suddenly rushed towards Li Fenglan’s location.
“Master?”
…Yes, this familiar spiritual energy was from Ling Buyan!
However, as Li Fenglan approached, he found that a “high wall” made of Baishi Underworld fire had appeared several feet away from him, blocking everything outside. Li Fenglan had no idea what was happening inside.
Li Fenglan’s protective spiritual power blocked the heat and burning around him, and he stood there, nervously looking inside. It was at this moment that Li Fenglan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Taking a deep breath, Li Fenglan instinctively reached out and pressed the painful spot. In the next moment, he realized that he was pressing on the location of the unfamiliar immortal bone…
A bad premonition arose in Li Fenglan’s heart.
Without any hesitation, Li Fenglan stood outside the Baishi Underworld fire curtain and slowly clenched Finished Karma in his hands. He closed his eyes slowly.
Although he had never been to Endless Purgatory and there was no place in the world that resembled it.
However, Li Fenglan, who had been cultivating for thousands of years, knew that the situation he would face after this sword strike would probably be unprecedentedly dangerous.
He did not retreat.
The white long sword in Li Fenglan’s hand flickered twice, like a person’s heartbeat. After those two flickers, Finished Karma suddenly emitted a crisp sword sound. At the next moment, the long sword was covered in silver light and rushed towards the curtain wall of the Baishi Underworld fire like an ice dragon.
Extreme heat and extreme cold.
In just a few breaths of time, a huge crack slowly opened on the originally airtight curtain wall. It was also at this moment that Li Fenglan opened his eyes.
However, before Li Fenglan could even breathe a sigh of relief, an extremely powerful force surged back towards him.
Li Fenglan’s body suddenly retreated and slammed into the core of another Fire Dragon Hurricane behind him. But in an instant, a burning and stinging sensation enveloped Li Fenglan, and his back felt like it was cracking. There was even a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
But Li Fenglan didn’t care.
Li Fenglan’s gaze was fixed firmly on the fire wall in front of him, and he saw a crack appear in the high wall made of Baishi Underworld fire in the distance.
Ling Buyan, dressed in black, was standing there.
In this life, Li Fenglan had already become accustomed to calling Ling Buyan “Master”, but upon seeing the familiar figure, Li Fenglan couldn’t help but call out his name directly.
“Ling Buyan!”
Upon hearing Li Fenglan’s voice, Ling Buyan immediately turned around to look at him.
At this moment, Ling Buyan’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
Ling Buyan was still wearing that familiar white robe, and the satin ribbon that had bound his hair had come undone, causing his black hair to cascade down his shoulders. The golden runes on his black robe were suspended in the air, emitting a dazzling golden light.
Unconsciously, Li Fenglan remembered the first time he saw Ling Buyan.
At that time, Ling Buyan suddenly appeared and resolved a crisis with just a few words. However, at that time, Li Fenglan and Ling Buyan were not familiar with each other, and Li Fenglan looked at him with a strong sense of vigilance. Now, everything was different.
The fire in Endless Purgatory reflected Ling Buyan’s hair. From Li Fenglan’s position, he seemed to blend into the flames.
“Fenglan?” Apparently Ling Buyan didn’t expect Li Fenglan to actually come here. He frowned and asked, “How did you get here?”
Across from Ling Buyan was Mo Shenyu, who had turned into golden light. It may have been an illusion, but Mo Shenyu’s movements seemed to have slowed down for a moment when Li Fenglan arrived. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Fenglan suddenly pierced through the gap in the firewall with his sword and stood beside Ling Buyan.
The surrounding flames grew larger and larger, with a deep green fire core, like the eyes of a poisonous snake.
The Baishi Underworld fire continued to burn, and the air twisted with it.
Li Fenglan had originally planned to say that no matter how it ended, he would stand by Ling Buyan’s side. He had even decided that if Ling Buyan still asked, he would tell him that although he had not yet revealed how he was resurrected, he knew that it must be related to him.
Whatever the reason for his resurrection, the fact was that he, who should have died a thousand years ago, had been given another life for no reason.
In this life, no matter what he did, he would not be at a loss.
Li Fenglan, who had come to Endless Purgatory, was no longer afraid of death.
But after seeing Ling Buyan, Li Fenglan’s thoughts changed.
He gritted his teeth and turned directly to Mo Shenyu, saying, “Mo Shenyu, do you remember me saying that I knew you came to Xieguang Tower to take Finished Karma?”
Upon hearing Li Fenglan’s words, the golden figure across from him uncontrollably retreated a bit.
After a pause, Li Fenglan continued, “So now that I’m here, of course I’m here to…kill you.”
Actually, before this moment, Li Fenglan had not thought about how to kill Mo Shenyu.
But after saying the previous sentence, he suddenly had a thought in his mind… The causal relationship and the separation of Yin and Yang, both originated from the same naturally occurring jade with two poles.
They both give rise to and inhibit each other.
This sentence is almost known by everyone in the world of cultivation, it is similar to the common knowledge that “the sun sets and rises again”.
However, the biggest difference between these two pieces of common knowledge is that while people know it takes several hours for the sun to rise again after setting, they do not know how the “inhibition” between causal relationship and separation of Yin and Yang works.
Mo Shenyu in “Tianmian Daosheng” stole Finished Karma from Xieguang Tower, presumably for this “inhibition”.
Different from ordinary cultivators, Mo Shenyu, who was once a thought of the Heavenly Dao, was very clear about this!
So why not take advantage of this now?
A bold idea came to Li Fenglan’s mind.
Without giving Mo Shenyu time to react, Li Fenglan suddenly turned around, looked deeply at Ling Buyan standing next to him, and then showed an incredibly brilliant smile in the flames.
“Fenglan!” Ling Buyan suddenly widened his eyes.
He didn’t know what Li Fenglan was going to do, but instinctively realized that what Li Fenglan was about to do was probably very dangerous.
Ling Buyan reached out and grabbed Li Fenglan’s wrist. Li Fenglan could feel that Ling Buyan’s fingers were trembling slightly.
In Li Fenglan’s impression, Ling Buyan had grabbed his wrist many times before, and every time Ling Buyan gently held his wrist, Li Fenglan’s heart would become incredibly calm.
But this time, Li Fenglan lightly pursed his lips and then pushed away Ling Buyan’s hand without any hesitation.
“Master, take up Split Karma,” Li Fenglan said only this sentence.
In the next moment, large clusters of misty plum blossoms suddenly bloomed around Li Fenglan. But unlike before, this time the misty plums that appeared next to Li Fenglan were white, just like the white snow that had been flying over Snowy Meizhou Island for thousands of years.
In that instant, the underworld’s dark fires seemed to weaken a little.
Dressed in white, Li Fenglan was the most special color in the underworld. Although he didn’t ride his sword, Li Fenglan almost instantly appeared behind Mo Shenyu with the blooming of every misty plum.
Through the golden light, Li Fenglan glanced at Ling Buyan again.
In the next moment, he jumped up high on one foot. Li Fenglan held the sword in his right hand and formed a seal with his left hand, stabbing towards Mo Shenyu.
At this time, Mo Shenyu was just a golden light, a spiritual energy. The moment Li Fenglan’s sword fell, the sword energy penetrated through the golden light and headed towards Ling Buyan’s position.
At this moment, the sentence Li Fenglan said just now appeared in Ling Buyan’s ear again.
He said, “Master, take up the Split Karma Sword.”
Ling Buyan understood Li Fenglan’s meaning…
He was a swordsman, an unparalleled swordsman.
Although Ling Buyan had not reacted to what had happened in the previous moment, in just a moment, Ling Buyan instinctively took Split Karma in his hand and infused it with spiritual power, stabbing it towards the other side of Mo Shenyu.
Both Li Fenglan and Ling Buyan held nothing back at this moment.
Two sword lights, one bright and one dark, converged almost simultaneously from opposite directions towards a point.
This was not the end. After the first sword fell, Li Fenglan and Ling Buyan both simultaneously infused the sword with spiritual energy again… this time, they almost used up all their strength.
Li Fenglan and Ling Buyan were both sword cultivators with divine roots, and their one sword had the power to move mountains and oceans, not to mention this one, which was their all-out attack.
After a brief moment of calm, those sword lights finally collided violently.
Endless Purgatory, which was originally shrouded in crimson, suddenly fell into chaos.
In Li Fenglan’s vision, there was only a huge white ball of light and Mo Shenyu’s scream.
Little did he know that beneath Endless Purgatory, the members of Tianmian Palace saw the thick black clouds above their heads suddenly surge up. In just a few breaths of time, a huge crack appeared in the midst of those black clouds.
From their position, the sky seemed to be missing a large piece.
Now, the spiritual energy outside Endless Purgatory also began to tremble.
This one sword was destined to be recorded in the annals of the cultivation world.
