Chapter 279 Give up resistance and let me brand your soul!

Immortal Master Xu was truly incredulous; the rumors about Li Xuanfeng were not exaggerated in the slightest, the real Li Xuanfeng was even more terrifying than rumored!

He consecutively instantly killed Sword Ape Immortal Master and himself, only using top-grade King Dao weapons, not even deploying the Golden Bell, nor did he unleash his Domain.

This meant that what Li Xuanfeng had shown so far was only a portion of his strength!

His full power was definitely comparable to a Late Stage Immortal Master, and among the best of Late Stage Immortal Masters!

He might even have touched the Realm of Peak Immortal Master.

Unfortunately, by the time he knew this truth, it was already too late.

Whoosh!

Li Xuanfeng delivered another sword strike, severing the connection between Immortal Master Xu and his Domain.

“Ah!”

His Soul felt a tearing pain, as if a scabbed wound was suddenly ripped off, and that pain was magnified millions of times!

Immortal Master Xu failed to make Li Xuanfeng experience Soul torture, but he himself experienced the ultimate pain that penetrated his Soul.

The erosion of the Chaos mist was like ten thousand ants gnawing at his heart, forcibly grinding away his Soul bit by bit.

Li Xuanfeng no longer paid him any mind, letting him meet death in agony.

Buzz!

The Mirror World twisted and turned, and Mirror Immortal Master’s figure was instantly replicated into tens of thousands of Clones.

Each Clone exuded the aura of a Middle Stage Immortal Master.

Li Xuanfeng seemed to be facing tens of thousands of Middle Stage Immortal Masters at once.

If he truly faced so many Middle Stage Immortal Masters, even Li Xuanfeng would be instantly annihilated into ashes.

However, how could Mirror Immortal Master possess such great ability? Everything was merely a false illusion.

“Open!”

Li Xuanfeng’s expression was cold, and golden light flickered in his pupils.

He hadn't used the Blazing Sun Golden Eyes for a long time.

As his strength increased, his pupil techniques had actually grown stronger, but the gap compared to the Chaos Golden Bone was quite significant.

Coupled with the Blazing Sun Golden Eyes having an upper limit, it no longer provided much help to him, but in the current situation, it could still play some role.

Golden light overflowed from the corners of his eyes, and Chaos mist swept across his pupils; the tens of thousands of mirror Clones instantly shattered, leaving only one.

Whoosh!

Sword light whistled out.

Crack!

With a crisp sound, as if a mirror surface shattered, the graceful figure of the beautiful woman instantly vanished, and a hunched old hag appeared.

“Peerless King, you can’t kill this Immortal Master!”

Mirror Immortal Master’s sharp voice rang out.

Li Xuanfeng’s sword strike shattered her strongest mirror Clone, causing her to no longer be able to maintain her middle-aged woman’s appearance, revealing her hunched old hag form.

This caused her to explode with rage; she hated aging, she hated her current appearance.

Li Xuanfeng remained silent, strands of Chaos light surged from his Blazing Sun Golden Eyes, shattering all illusions.

An ancient bronze mirror appeared in his sight.

Within the bronze mirror, the old hag, with white hair and a hunched body, stared at Li Xuanfeng with a face full of venom.

But beneath that venom, there was also shock and fear.

This bronze mirror was her strongest trump card; its surface could perfectly replicate the surrounding environment without revealing any flaws, and in the face of enemies far stronger than her, she could perfectly conceal herself in the Void Realm and escape.

Relying on this Move, she had escaped death countless times.

However, when Li Xuanfeng’s gaze swept over, she knew her position had been precisely locked.

Although surprised, she was not despairing.

Her true body had long since merged with the bronze mirror; as long as the mirror existed, she existed; if the mirror perished, she perished.

This mirror was a Medium Grade Immortal Master Dao weapon, and how many people could break it?

Li Xuanfeng reached out his hand towards the bronze mirror, and Chaos mist surged out, forming a thick Chaos prison that locked it in place.

“Li Xuanfeng, you can’t kill this Immortal Master! You can’t kill this Immortal Master!”

Mirror Immortal Master shouted.

Her sharp voice sounded somewhat grating.

However, Li Xuanfeng ignored her; his only goal was to temporarily imprison her first.

He raised the Azure Nether Sword in his hand and looked at it; two more cracks had appeared.

King Dao weapons, after all, were still somewhat insufficient for dealing with Immortal Master Realm experts, or rather, the Azure Nether Sword could not withstand his power for a long time.

“Xiao Qing, it’s time for you to get a new body.”

Li Xuanfeng’s palm caressed the long sword.

Crack!

The Azure Nether Sword instantly shattered into countless fragments.

A somewhat ethereal, green-clad female figure appeared before Li Xuanfeng.

With a flick of his sleeve, he took Xiao Qing and transformed into a streak of lightning, appearing above the planet.

Li Xuanfeng clenched his fist, and spiritual power, Soul power, Chaos Golden Bone power, lightning power, and Domain power, various forces condensed and intertwined into one, bringing the power of Li Xuanfeng’s punch to its Peak.

Boom!

With a punch, chains woven with runes appeared in the Void Realm.

However, in the face of such immense power, they were as fragile as paper.

The chains snapped, the planet shattered, annihilated into dust!

One punch shattered a star!

A sharp long sword quietly floated, with the characters “Azure Sky” engraved on its blade; a drop of crimson magma flowed down the blade, dripping from the sword tip.

He spread his five fingers and grasped the sword hilt.

Buzz!

An astonishing fluctuation rippled out.

A top-grade Immortal Master Dao weapon, the Azure Sky Sword!

Although this sword was powerful, it always lacked something, preventing it from reaching Perfection.

“Come in, Xiao Qing!”

Li Xuanfeng held the sword horizontally in front of him.

“Thank you, Master!”

The ethereal female figure, with a faint smile on her face, bowed gracefully to Li Xuanfeng, then transformed into light particles and merged into the Azure Sky Sword.

Buzz!

The Azure Sky Sword once again rippled with profound fluctuations, as if it had gained a Soul and become complete.

“Li Xuanfeng!”

Mirror Immortal Master’s expression was terrified.

How strong would Li Xuanfeng’s power be when combined with a top-grade Immortal Master Dao weapon?

The next moment, she knew the answer.

To this day, Li Xuanfeng’s most powerful Sky-Severing Sword Draw roared out.

Bang!

Crack!

The brilliant sword light seemed to sever space and time, splitting the bronze mirror in half with one strike.

Mirror Immortal Master’s old and hunched body was also instantly annihilated.

Mirror Immortal Master, fallen!

With Li Xuanfeng’s current strength, coupled with the strongest attack unleashed by a top-grade Immortal Master Dao weapon, the veteran Middle Stage Immortal Master Mirror Immortal Master didn't even have a chance to scream before being annihilated into ashes.

“Peak Immortal Master!”

“He already possesses the strength of a Peak Immortal Master!”

Whether it was Sword Ape Immortal Master and Immortal Master Xu, who still had a trace of residual Soul that hadn't dissipated, or the imprisoned Dry Immortal Master, or Blood Devil Immortal Master, who watched the entire process in a daze, all were terrified by Li Xuanfeng’s attack.

One strike, shattering a Medium Grade Immortal Master Dao weapon, and simultaneously slaying a veteran Middle Stage Immortal Master expert.

The power of a top-grade Immortal Master Dao weapon alone could not achieve this; it was Li Xuanfeng who infused enough powerful energy into this weapon to create the incredibly shocking scene before them.

Li Xuanfeng was quite satisfied with the effect of this strike; he extended his five fingers, reaching out remotely towards the imprisoned Dry Immortal Master.

The soon-to-dissipate residual Souls of Sword Ape Immortal Master and Immortal Master Xu, as well as the dazed Blood Devil Immortal Master, had their already uncalmed shock pushed to a new height.

With a scream from Dry Immortal Master, they actually saw a withered Domain being forcibly pulled out from his Sea of Consciousness space!

The withered Domain transformed into a world in his palm, flying over and quietly floating in Li Xuanfeng’s palm.

“How is this possible?!”

Originally, a Move like the Separation Sword Technique, which forcibly severed the connection between the Soul and the Domain, was shocking enough, but they never expected Li Xuanfeng to have an even more overbearing Move!

The brilliant sword light shone again, and the withered Dry Immortal Master’s iris was left with only a dazzling pure white.

“Peerless King…”

“Li Xuanfeng…”

In the moment before his death, he tried to widen his eyes, as if seeing the ancient figure standing behind the brilliant sword light.

After Li Xuanfeng’s achievements in the Weapon Refining City spread, he already understood that this person was not someone he could defeat.

When Li Xuanfeng threw the four super forces into Chaos, he had already felt fear, realizing that Li Xuanfeng’s Prodigy level far exceeded imagination.

So when Li Xuanfeng first appeared here, Mirror Immortal Master and the others were still excited, and Blood Devil Immortal Master was eager to try, but only Dry Immortal Master felt fear.

He wanted to escape, but Li Xuanfeng targeted him first.

The Li Xuanfeng he knew was already Prodigy enough, but only by facing such a monster could he clearly understand how terrifying he truly was!

If he hadn’t joined the Xu family.

If Red Spear King wasn’t his woman.

If he had hidden from the beginning, distanced himself from Red Spear King, given up on revenge, and not become an enemy of Li Xuanfeng, would he not have died?

One thought after another, scene after scene, flashed before Dry Immortal Master like a revolving lantern.

The next moment, brilliant sword light engulfed him, and everything turned to naught.

Dry Immortal Master, fallen!

“Li Xuanfeng…”

As the Chaos mist surged, the last trace of residual Soul from Sword Ape Immortal Master and Immortal Master Xu also gradually disintegrated.

A Peak King Realm Cultivator, whose strength was comparable to a Peak Immortal Master.

Even seeing it with their own eyes, even falling at the hands of such a monster, Sword Ape Immortal Master and Immortal Master Xu still found it unbelievable.

How could a Cultivator be such a Prodigy to this extent!

How could one be such a Prodigy to this extent!

Throughout history, among so many talented Cultivators, which one could be as exaggerated as Li Xuanfeng?

They couldn’t understand, and they were destined not to get an answer; the last wisp of residual Soul turned into ashes and scattered with the wind.

Sword Ape Immortal Master, fallen!

Immortal Master Xu, fallen!

Three vast Middle Immortal Master Dao Domains intertwined and overlapped; Blood Devil Immortal Master watched the entire process in a daze, neither moving nor escaping.

Because he knew everything was futile.

The turbulent waves churning in his heart could not be calmed for a long time.

Originally, he was also deeply skeptical of the rumors about Li Xuanfeng.

Rumors couldn’t be fully trusted; the truth was revealed in combat. Only by personally fighting Li Xuanfeng could he understand how much the rumors were exaggerated.

However, witnessing three veteran Middle Stage Immortal Masters fall before his eyes, Blood Devil Immortal Master finally understood that the rumors were not exaggerated in the slightest; Li Xuanfeng was even more terrifying than rumored!

It wasn’t an evenly matched fight, nor was it a difficult victory, but an absolute碾压!

Li Xuanfeng’s strength was terrifyingly powerful. If he was once the ceiling of combat power in the King Realm, then Li Xuanfeng stood above the roof, no, he was suspended in the sky above the roof!

In front of such a monster, Blood Devil Immortal Master’s self-confidence was completely shattered; he couldn’t possibly stand shoulder to shoulder with such a monster, no matter what means he used.

He wasn't afraid of encountering a true Peak Immortal Master, and his Dao Heart wouldn’t waver in the slightest, because he was confident he could surpass them in the future.

But encountering a King Realm existence that could rival a Peak Immortal Master, even Blood Devil Immortal Master, who was called a peerless Genius by countless people and once led other King Ranking Cultivators by a significant margin, couldn’t help but feel powerless and despair.

Li Xuanfeng’s gaze swept over, and Blood Devil Immortal Master’s hairs instantly stood on end, startling him out of his daze.

“Wait a moment!”

Blood Devil Immortal Master, with a tense expression, reached out to stop Li Xuanfeng’s impending sword strike.

“Peerless King, there has been no animosity between us. Can you give me a chance?”

Blood Devil Immortal Master was drenched in cold sweat.

If Li Xuanfeng were to truly unleash a sword strike, he knew that even using his trump cards would be completely useless.

“Is that so? I thought you seemed eager to try earlier.”

Li Xuanfeng looked at the bald young man.

Among the King Realm, he had heard the name Blood Devil King the most, and today he finally met the Immortal Master.

Although the three Middle Stage Immortal Masters didn’t intend to kill him, as a newly advanced Immortal Master Cultivator, being able to withstand those three attacks was quite remarkable.

At least other King Realm Cultivators who had just broken through certainly couldn’t do it. Of course, Li Xuanfeng didn’t include himself; he knew he was an anomaly.

“It’s my fault for being ignorant and not recognizing a true master.”

“I’ve always heard of your deeds and know you’re very powerful. I admit I did have the thought of fighting you before.”

“But now I understand, I’m not qualified to fight you!”

“I know my place. The gap between you and me is impossible to bridge. I swear on my Dao Heart that I will never be your enemy in this life!”

“In the future, before acting, I will first confirm identities to ensure I don’t accidentally harm any of your relatives or friends!”

Blood Devil Immortal Master said with a serious expression.

“What if the Blood River Holy Land becomes my enemy?”

Li Xuanfeng looked at him.

Blood Devil Immortal Master paused, then after a long silence, he said, “If that day truly comes, I will voluntarily leave the Holy Land!”

“Verbal promises have no binding effect!”

Li Xuanfeng’s expression was indifferent.

“I swear on my Dao Heart!”

Blood Devil Immortal Master said.

Li Xuanfeng shook his head.

“How can I trust you?”

Blood Devil Immortal Master looked at Li Xuanfeng, his expression somewhat nervous.

“Give up resistance and let this King brand a Soul imprint on you.”

Li Xuanfeng’s voice was calm, but to Blood Devil Immortal Master’s ears, it was like a clap of thunder.

To have his Soul branded with an imprint by someone meant his life and death would be at the other party’s whim. From then on, he would lose his freedom and be at the mercy of others!

This was an extremely humiliating method; he would become Li Xuanfeng’s slave, summoned and dismissed at will!

If he dared to resist, Li Xuanfeng could, at the very least, cause him harm through the Soul imprint, or at most, directly make him vanish into thin air!

“Can we find another way?”

Blood Devil Immortal Master secretly gritted his teeth.

Li Xuanfeng shook his head.

Although Blood Devil Immortal Master couldn’t compare to him, he was also an extremely rare Genius. If he could control him, it would be somewhat useful for Li Xuanfeng.

For example, in the future, to deal with some minor characters, he wouldn’t need to act personally; he could just send Blood Devil Immortal Master to handle it.

Given Blood Devil Immortal Master’s status in the Holy Land, it would also be convenient to handle these matters.

But the prerequisite was that this person had to be under his control. If he refused, Li Xuanfeng had no need to keep him alive.

To brand an imprint in the Soul, the other party must be willing; even a slight resistance would lead to failure.

Blood Devil Immortal Master’s face changed several times; he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

As a peerless Genius, how could he be willing to be controlled by others?

But if he refused, Li Xuanfeng’s poised sword would strike without hesitation.

To live or to die, that was the question.

One thought would decide Blood Devil Immortal Master’s fate.

Looking at Sword Ape Immortal Master, looking at Immortal Master Xu, and then looking at Mirror Immortal Master and Dry Immortal Master, once dead, everything turned to naught. Rise and fall, honor and disgrace, prosperity and desolation… everything in the world would no longer have any relation to them.

“Can we agree on a time limit?”

After a long ideological struggle, Blood Devil Immortal Master still didn’t want to die.

“A thousand years.”

Li Xuanfeng said indifferently.

“Alright!”

Blood Devil Immortal Master’s decisiveness somewhat surprised Li Xuanfeng.

Exchanging a thousand years of freedom for a chance to live, Blood Devil Immortal Master could barely accept it.

He dared not haggle further, fearing that Li Xuanfeng might just draw his sword if displeased.

Since Blood Devil Immortal Master had already agreed, the subsequent matters became much simpler.

After he gave up resistance, Li Xuanfeng branded an imprint in his Soul.

Thus, the former number one on the King Ranking, now Blood Devil Immortal Master, had his Soul’s life and death entirely at Li Xuanfeng’s whim!
