Chapter 355 The Young Singer's Journey 24
Li Hanyi and Sikong Changfeng exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
"Who exactly is this person?" Sikong Changfeng asked incredulously.
The guardians of the Ascending Heaven Pavilion are the most powerful experts in Snow Moon City besides the three of them.
Countless martial artists flock to Snow Moon City, hoping to witness its beauty, but all inevitably meet their doom at the Ascending Heaven Pavilion.
Who exactly is this mysterious person?
With such astonishing cultivation, how come I've never heard of him in the martial arts world before?
Sikong Changfeng's eyes were filled with shock, and one person involuntarily came to mind: his master, Nangong Chunshui!
Could it be that this person's cultivation level has also reached the master's level?
Just as Sikong Changfeng gripped the Black Moon Spear, preparing to take action, Li Hanyi had already taken the lead. Her eyes, hidden behind her cold mask, flashed with an astonishing light. With a slight tap of her toes, she flew up to the sixteenth floor, carrying an astonishing fighting spirit.
Xiao Yu, peering through the white veil of the cap, narrowed his eyes at the person who had suddenly appeared on the pavilion roof: "Iron Horse and Ice River? You are Li Hanyi, the Snow Moon Sword Immortal?"
“Exactly.” Li Hanyi held the Iron Horse Ice River sword, its tip gleaming coldly, like the purest icicle in winter, radiating a chilling aura.
Having received confirmation from the other party, Xiao Yu gently shook his head, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.
Li Hanyi is the daughter of Lei Mengsha and Li Xinyue.
In his previous life, he had a good impression of Li Hanyi. Although her cultivation level was not the highest among the younger generation, she was the most righteous and patriotic.
He was one of the people most influenced by the idea that "the greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people," and put it into practice.
Seeing his reaction, Li Hanyi frowned: "Who exactly are you? What is your purpose in coming to Snowmoon City?"
Xiao Yu did not answer directly, but turned slightly to the side, his gaze passing over Li Hanyi and looking into the distance, as if searching for something: "I did not come here today to find you, nor do I want to fight you."
"Then who are you going to talk to?" Li Hanyi was clearly not buying it. Her voice was cold, and her eyes were sharp as swords.
Xiao Yu smiled slightly: "Baili Dongjun".
Upon hearing this, Li Hanyi snorted coldly: "Want to see him? Unless you can defeat me."
Having said that, he swung his long sword, and the Iron Horse and Ice River flashed with a cold light. The sharp sword energy, carrying endless killing intent, rushed straight towards Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu sighed, and simply raised one hand, and an invisible barrier rose in front of him.
No matter how fierce Li Hanyi's sword energy was, it could never get within three feet of him.
Li Hanyi was startled, but then an even stronger fighting spirit surged within her.
Although she practices the Still Water Sword Technique, her favorite thing to do is to seek out strong masters to learn swordsmanship and temper her own sword intent.
However, as one of the five great sword immortals, she is already one of the most outstanding masters in the world, and there are increasingly fewer opponents who can match her.
She hasn't had a truly exhilarating, all-out battle in a long time.
The Iron Horse Ice River Sword was suddenly swung out of her hand, its momentum powerful and the wind biting cold.
This strike carried earth-shattering power, stirring up the winds and clouds, causing strange phenomena to appear frequently, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Those who witnessed this scene downstairs were all dumbfounded, shocked by Li Hanyi's sword strike.
"The Snow Moon Sword Immortal's cultivation has actually reached this level!"
"I was already filled with fear just from seeing that sword from afar. I really don't know how the person opposite me will resist that sword in a moment."
"It seems that the person opposite is also a reclusive master, who was able to force the Snow Moon Sword Immortal to unleash this sword with all his might."
"The Snow Moon Sword Immortal's cultivation is naturally superb, but the expert opposite him is no less skilled."
"However, the person opposite me seems so calm and composed. Could it be that his cultivation level is even higher than that of the Snow Moon Sword Immortal?"
"How is this possible? Snow Moon Sword Immortal is one of the five great sword immortals, renowned throughout the martial world. As for the person opposite, we don't even know where he came from. He may have just managed to block one of the sword immortal's swords by luck. But I don't think he can dodge this one no matter what."
"That's not quite right! Look at the sword immortal's sword strike just now. The sword energy was powerful and overwhelming, yet it failed to lift the veil in that person's eyes. This clearly shows that the person's cultivation is superior to the sword immortal's."
"How is this possible? The Snow Moon Sword Immortal's cultivation has probably already reached the peak of the Great Freedom Realm, and if the person opposite him is really more powerful than the Sword Immortal, wouldn't he have already entered the Half-Step Divine Realm? How is that possible?"
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, but their eyes were glued to the two fighters on the rooftop, afraid of missing a single detail.
For them, witnessing a sword immortal's sword strike was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, from which they would benefit immensely.
……
Sikong Changfeng looked at Li Hanyi, who was radiating sword energy, with a solemn expression, and became increasingly curious about Xiao Yu's identity.
He knew Li Hanyi's cultivation level and swordsmanship better than anyone. There were very few people in this world who could force her to go all out.
Thinking back to Xiao Yu's earlier request to see Baili Dongjun, he couldn't help but turn his head, his gaze piercing through the dense crowd and settling on a tavern on the side of the street.
The signboard above the tavern prominently displayed the words "Return to the East," and the tavern was unusually quiet, perhaps because everyone was gathered at the foot of the Dengtian Pavilion to watch the battle.
Sitting by the half-open window of the tavern was a man in his thirties, with a small mustache, wearing a blue robe, and with his long hair casually draped over his shoulders. He exuded an air of decadence, but between his brows, there was an indescribable air of suave charm.
At this moment, he was holding a jug of wine, his eyes fixed on the two people locked in fierce combat on the Ascending Heaven Pavilion, muttering something under his breath. Every now and then, he would raise the jug and take a sip, as if savoring every detail of the battle.
……
At the same time, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar, looking at the two characters "Xiaguan" in front of him, was about to express his feelings when he felt the chilling sword energy that soared into the sky from within the city.
"Li Hanyi?"
Xie Xuan's tone was tinged with surprise, and he instinctively turned to run away.
Xie Xuan was one of the five great sword immortals, and his ranking was always above Li Hanyi's, so Li Hanyi always wanted to ask him for sword skills.
However, Xie Xuan was devoted to poetry and books and disliked competition the most. Naturally, he avoided Li Hanyi, who wanted to challenge him to a sword duel.
Therefore, whenever he sensed Li Hanyi's presence, he would immediately carry his book box and run away.
Over time, it became a habit.
"It seems that someone extraordinary has come to Snow Moon City, forcing Li Hanyi to do this."
Xie Xuan gazed at the sword energy permeating the air, pondering to himself. He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to enter Snow Moon City to investigate further.
