#690 - Acting in anger
Li Chengfeng's mind flickered, and the ancient demon's head moved as easily as an arm, which made him feel much more at ease, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, with another thought, his figure instantly disappeared, leaving only a wisp of afterimage, carrying the Black Lotus Buddha Heart Pagoda and flying into the high sky, overlooking this land.
He discovered that there was indeed nothing special about this place, far away from the hustle and bustle of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, making it exceptionally quiet.
In the eyes of others, this might just be an ordinary wilderness, not belonging to the scope of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains.
However, only Xuanwu could see the clues in it, and chose to place the Xuanwu Sword Embryo here.
This opportunity was undoubtedly a great bargain for Li Chengfeng.
Unlike Xuanwu, who simply absorbed the evil energy here to nourish the sword embryo, he had a more ambitious plan—he wanted to completely take away the ancient demon's head from this place.
He knew that once the ancient demon's head was taken away, anyone who wanted to refine the ancient demon's corpse into a corpse puppet would have their strength greatly reduced.
So, Li Chengfeng spent a year staying here, carefully arranging and completing all the internal and external restrictions.
He was waiting for an auspicious day to arrive, so as to successfully take away the ancient demon's head.
He felt that time was of the essence, because once Xuanwu knew that he was going to take away his sword, he would definitely come to stop him.
Although he knew who Xuanwu was, a fierce battle was inevitable.
Instead of that, it would be better to strike first and maximize the power of the ancient demon's head and the Black Lotus Buddha Heart Pagoda.
On this day, just as Li Chengfeng was preparing to start refining the entire ancient demon's head, suddenly, more than a dozen figures of cultivators appeared in the sky, and they were flying rapidly towards this place.
Li Chengfeng's heart shuddered, and he immediately flashed into the Life Realm space, so as to better observe these uninvited guests.
The leader was a half-step Deity Transformation cultivator, wearing a bronze mask, his face hidden under the mask, and his black robe fluttering in the wind, as if merging with the night.
What surprised Li Chengfeng even more was that these black-robed cultivators seemed to have used some kind of blinding technique, which hindered their divine sense exploration.
Li Chengfeng pondered secretly in his heart that these people were obviously not weak, and they were acting so cautiously, it was impossible for them to be from the Heavenly Demon Sect.
The people of the Heavenly Demon Sect have always acted ostentatiously and could not be so secretive.
These people came over in the middle of the night, and used blinding techniques, obviously they had a plan.
Thinking of this, Li Chengfeng's heart moved, and he thought of a possible target—the Xuanwu Sword Embryo.
He guessed that these people were likely here for the Xuanwu Sword Embryo.
Just as this thought flashed through Li Chengfeng's mind, those black-robed cultivators had already begun to pinch their fingers and cast spells.
Their magic was very strange, hitting the entire mountain range, and suddenly a crack opened.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen people filed in and flew quickly towards the Xuanwu Sword Embryo inserted there.
At this time, the Xuanwu Sword was still inserted there, quietly absorbing the surrounding evil energy.
Li Chengfeng hadn't had time to take it away, and these people were already eager to take it for themselves.
Obviously, the target of those black-robed cultivators was directly the Xuanwu Sword Embryo. Their actions revealed a kind of tacit understanding and strength that had been strictly trained. They forcibly broke into this place, like a sharp blade in the dark night, silent but sharp.
The surrounding miasma of eerie light not only originated from the mysterious place itself, but also added a bit of weirdness because of their black robes that were almost integrated with the night.
Li Chengfeng's heart suddenly opened up, and all the mysteries were revealed. This was undoubtedly Xuanwu's handwriting, and only he could cultivate such a powerful and secretive dark force.
Xuanwu, who is now a giant, his methods and wisdom are really amazing.
These black-robed cultivators were not only outstanding in strength, but also showed extreme caution and prudence when taking the sword embryo, even in Xuanwu's view.
No one here could match them, they still proceeded cautiously, for fear of touching the ancient formation hidden here. This meticulousness made Li Chengfeng have to admire secretly.
His eyes were bright, like the brightest star in the night sky, closely locking on to all the movements, and he knew in his heart that this was the best time to strike.
A sneer spread quietly in his heart, with a bit of mockery and disdain. "Hmph, Xuanwu, Xuanwu, you finally showed your fox tail.
You are so eager, it seems that you have sensed the impending crisis. What are you afraid of?"
Li Chengfeng speculated secretly in his heart that the answer was obvious—what Xuanwu feared was the impending turmoil in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, and the great war brewing under the North Sea, where the earth veins were slowly refining the ancient demon's corpse.
He was worried that once the power in the ancient demon's head was out of control, it would bring him unbearable disasters. Therefore, he had to act in advance, seize the sword embryo, and eliminate future troubles.
With this move, Xuanwu can be said to have killed three birds with one stone, protecting the sword embryo, weakening potential enemies, and seizing the opportunity in the upcoming war.
Li Chengfeng had to admit that Xuanwu's wisdom was indeed unparalleled, and every step he took was well thought out and full of profound meaning.
If he hadn't known the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains like the back of his hand, and been good at deduction and observation, he probably wouldn't have been able to discover this secret hidden in the darkness, let alone see through Xuanwu's scheme.
"What a tricky opponent." Li Chengfeng muttered to himself, but his eyes flashed with firm light.
Thinking of this, Li Chengfeng's determination became even stronger. He knew that the Xuanwu Sword Embryo was an indispensable key for Li Chenggong to refine the four divine swords.
This was not just an opportunity, but also an obsession in his heart that he could not give up.
Because of this, when the Xuanwu Sword Embryo was so close at hand, how could he easily let it go?
With a thought, Li Chengfeng's figure seemed to cross the shackles of space, and instantly appeared above the heads of those Nascent Soul cultivators.
These people had not yet realized the imminent danger, and were still immersed in their own world.
However, just as they were in a trance, Li Chengfeng had already struck, his movements as fast as lightning.
With a wave of his hand, the nineteen flying swords seemed to have received the call of life, broke through the air, cooperated with each other, and formed a dazzling sword light.
Among them, the Forget Regret Sword took the lead. Suddenly, a dazzling sword light flashed, and the dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators were immediately blinded by the sword light.
Their movements instantly became slow. The reaction that should have been made quickly was delayed by a full three breaths because of this sudden sword light.
These three breaths were enough for Li Chengfeng.
His cross-border sword was extremely fast, almost in the blink of an eye, it swept over the heads of these cultivators, and cut off their heads one by one.
The Yin-Yang Sword was not far behind, breaking through the air, Yin-Yang illuminates life and death, with a whoosh, streaks of sword light swept past, each sword accurately pierced through their Dantian, and directly picked out their Nascent Souls, fixing them in the air.
This scene was too strange and too shocking.
