Why had they come here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Cui Fan, whose face was contorted in obvious discomfort, clearly unwilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao looked again at Wei Feng, whom he recognized—the man who had trailed them all the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Feng stared blankly at Li Hao; he was at the Fifteen Li Realm, and naturally knew that these two flying through the air were not under Yue Shuhong’s command—but this boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy he and Li Fu had been trailing to protect… was at the Fifteen Li Realm?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Higher realm than Li Fu?! Who the hell was protecting whom?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Feng felt his mind go numb. He’d left the mountains at the Spiritual Wander Realm and considered himself well-traveled, having seen countless geniuses—but a Fifteen Li Realm this young? He’d never heard of such a thing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone said the Shenniang Mansion’s descendants were monsters, but even monsters didn’t reach this level. “Demons are coming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, someone nervously shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyes turned to the city wall’s outer edge, where the demonic creatures were sprinting toward the archers’ range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fire arrows!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The garrison commander, a middle-aged man around the Eighth or Ninth Layer of the Soul Awakening Realm, roared instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless arrows rained down like black rain—special arrows imbued with exorcism and demon-slaying power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the arrowstorm, many demons were wounded, but more pressed forward, enduring the barrage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Demon-Sealing Array!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commander bellowed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than a dozen Demon-Sealing Masters in black robes hurried to a high platform on the wall, each summoning their Soul Awakening forms—each unique in shape—linking hands, their soul forces pulsing and connecting, maintaining balance as they activated the array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao watched the demons draw near, now within a hundred meters of the wall, then turned his head, his gaze landing on Ren Qianqian’s sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lend me your sword.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren Qianqian snapped back to reality, staring at Li Hao in stunned disbelief—she still couldn’t accept the terrifying cultivation base he’d just revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him reach for the sword, she instinctively gripped the scabbard tighter. “Can you even use a sword?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout their ride, she’d seen no weapon on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A little.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he first entered the martial world, he’d rushed out too hastily and hadn’t brought a sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he ever entered it again, he’d remember to bring the precious blade the Second Master had given him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren Qianqian hesitated—swordsmen never parted from their blades, and she cherished hers deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the battle was dire, and she knew Li Hao’s cultivation was supreme—yet he had no weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief pause, she handed him the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao drew the blade casually; the long sword, like autumn water, slid free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the blade trembled, emitting a sword-song as if awakening, its blade glowing with brilliant white light, humming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao turned, raised the sword, and stepped forward, standing ten meters above the city wall. His hovering figure drew stunned gazes from the soldiers—all awestruck; hovering in midair was the hallmark of the Fifteen Li Realm! Their garrison commander, Lord Yue, was only at the Spiritual Wander Realm—never Fifteen Li. “The Bright Moon… Rises!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao whispered softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over five years, he’d naturally studied the final three sword techniques of *The Boundless Sea*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*The Boundless Sea* had four techniques total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were: Tides, River Severing, Bright Moon Rises, The Boundless Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he wielded the third of these supreme sword arts—the second-to-last technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bright Moon Rises! In an instant, everyone on the wall seemed to see a full moon rising from Li Hao’s palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brilliant white sword had vanished—only a dazzling silver-white moon remained, perfectly round and radiant, coalescing from his hand, then slowly ascending like a moon rising over the sea, flying toward the demonic horde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Layer, True Form! As all were entranced by the moon’s breathtaking beauty, the moon plunged into the demons—and as its radiance burst forth, the countless demonic shadows surging forward vanished like darkness dispelled by light, receding like a tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they weren’t retreating—they were annihilated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This sword technique…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren Qianqian’s pupils contracted, her face filled with shock and disbelief as she stared at the boy’s back, sword in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That moon, like a divine miracle, left her utterly awestruck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was… a sword technique?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides Ren Qianqian, Yue Shuhong and Wei Feng were equally stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Shuhong now realized that when Li Hao had slain the Tiger-Robe True Person, he hadn’t even used half his strength—let alone one-tenth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just this dazzling, exquisite sword technique alone could shake the entire Qizhou Province!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This sword technique…” Wei Feng’s eyes glazed over; Ren Qianqian’s father was a sword master, yet even he had never seen his master wield anything so astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clear, dazzling moon shone brilliantly over the Chengxi battlefield, drawing every gaze—until it vanished, and only then did people snap back to reality, remembering they were still in battle, still on the battlefield!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when the soldiers raised their bows again, they all froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before them, hundreds of meters ahead, where were the demons?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only mangled, hole-ridden demon corpses littered the ground—and blood spilled everywhere like rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One sword had cleared demons from nearly a full li! The battlefield, once filled with howls and shrieks, had fallen utterly silent—not even a pin could drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just the soldiers on the wall—demons preparing to charge from afar were also stunned into paralysis; their once-unstoppable avalanche of an assault had halted dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demons stared at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them were great demons—leaders at the Spiritual Wander Realm, equal to the Tiger-Robe Immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, their eyes held only terror and dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy who had stepped forward, hovering above the wall, casually holding his sword—looked like an ultimate sword immortal standing there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unapproachable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao glanced at the halted demonic horde, said nothing, and hurled the sword—commanding it with his spiritual sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flying sword spun, shooting like golden light, instantly slaying over a dozen demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did the frozen demons snap back to reality, screaming and scattering in all directions—their once-mighty assault dissolved in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers on the wall stared, dumbfounded, at the boy’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That back, in the decades to come, would never fade from their memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flying sword, like golden needles, swiftly slew countless demons—including the Spiritual Wander Realm great demon among them, who tried to hide and flee by suppressing his aura—but Li Hao noticed him instantly; a flash of blade, and his head fell, his soul severed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, great demons were no different from ordinary ones—all fell to a single strike! The scene left Wei Feng on the wall utterly speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he fought himself, he could never match Li Hao’s might—this sword’s speed was two or three times faster than his own! He instantly recalled the dragon demon slain by the black light—identical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[75] This… was the elder they’d bowed to on the road? What kind of monster was Li Fu escorting?!\u003C\u002Fp>",1217,"2026-06-20T02:15:40.176Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ebae90896c539383bab3d18812f9509a0e197effd273412c11cbbc8309bb2a46","the-name-that-echoes-through-eternity-chapter-70","the-name-that-echoes-through-eternity-chapter-68",929,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-name-that-echoes-through-eternity-cover.jpg"]
