Chapter 1463: How to Use a Sword

"Give my sword back." Yunwu's expression changed drastically.

Li Hongyu had only been slightly serious, yet the sword in his hand had been snatched away by the other party; to him, this was simply impossible.

Yet these things had happened nonetheless. Watching the sword fall into the other party's hands, his expression was one of anger and unwillingness.

"This sword cannot unleash its true power in your hands at all." Li Hongyu smiled, his expression gradually becoming serious: "Let Senior Brother teach you how to use a sword."

As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked the sword body with his right hand. *Ding*—the sword body trembled incessantly, emitting a ringing sound like a dragon's roar.

Then, he wiped his right hand across the blade. In an instant, the Xuantian Sword quieted down, and a faint, subtle sword hum emanated from the blade.

Li Hongyu flicked his right hand, and the sword in his hand suddenly released Sword Qi. With a *hum*, six streaks of Sword Qi shot into the sky, emitting six pillars of light that tore the magnificent and spectacular roof of the Qingshou Temple apart.

For a moment, the room was in chaos; dozens of Qingshou Temple disciples were blown away. Those with lower Cultivation simply had no way to remain inside the main hall.

Yu Sichen's expression changed. Her Dark Power had just converted into Primordial Qi, so her strength was relatively low among the group, and she could not withstand this biting Sword Intent.

Liu Ruxi noticed her abnormality, gently took her hand, and channeled a trace of Buddhist power over. Only then did Yu Sichen slowly let out a breath, and her complexion looked slightly better.

However, the battle on the scene was intense. Shen Qingfeng, who had just taken the antidote and recovered a bit of his strength, thought his Cultivation was still decent, so he gritted his teeth and tried to hold on in the main hall. Yet, in the next second, he was blown away.

With two *thuds*, two Elders of the Yunlu Abode were sent flying by the surging Sword Qi. They collapsed on the ground, looking at everything before them in horror, completely stunned.

The magnificent mountain gate of Qingshou Temple had long since been blown away. It wasn't that they had suffered such heavy injuries, but rather that in front of Li Hongyu, they could no longer muster the will to fight, because the gap in strength was simply too vast.

With a throw of his right hand, *ding*—the Xuantian Sword was nailed into the ground. Li Hongyu smiled slightly and said: "Now, do you know how this sword is used?"

Both of their expressions were very ugly. Yunwu crawled up from the ground, bowed slightly to Li Hongyu, and said: "Thank you for the instruction, Senior Brother. I know how it is used now."

"Good that you know." Li Hongyu smiled: "I am going to fight my way back to the Yunlu Abode to avenge the grudge of the Lock Blood Spring from decades ago. Will you come with me?"

The two looked at each other. Regarding this request from Li Hongyu, they dared not comply, because once they complied, they would be traitors to the Yunlu Abode.

Moreover, many of their affairs were being held over them by Qingsong. If these matters were truly leaked to Qingsong, they would be in serious trouble.

But if they did not comply with Li Hongyu, they felt that today's matter would likely not end well.

"Senior Brother, we cannot betray the Yunlu Abode," Yunxi said after hesitating for a long time.

"Are you afraid to betray the Yunlu Abode, or are you afraid to betray Qingsong?" Li Yunshan snorted coldly and walked out from the hall: "It seems Qingsong hasn't given you two few favors over these years."

The two remained silent. Indeed, following Qingsong brought far too many benefits, which was why they were unwilling to leave him.

"Very well, since that's the case, I won't be polite then." Li Hongyu nodded slightly and said: "One-third of your Cultivation was taught by me."

"So now, I am going to take back this one-third of your Cultivation. That's no problem, right?"

"Senior Brother Li? Don't." The bodies of Yunwu and Yunxi trembled, and they looked up in disbelief.

One-third of their Cultivation was enough to cause their status to plummet drastically.

If Li Hongyu truly erased one-third of their Cultivation, their status within the Yunlu Abode would drop sharply in the future.

Furthermore, they would be ostracized, and with their Cultivation significantly regressed, they would truly be finished; there would no longer be a place for them in the Cultivation World.

"Think about it carefully?" Li Hongyu smiled slightly: "If you turn back now, I can overlook past matters, and no matter what faults you have committed in the sect, I will not pursue them."

"Really?" The eyes of the two lit up. In truth, the reason they were working so hard for Qingsong was entirely because Qingsong had leverage over them.

If Li Hongyu let bygones be bygones, then why would they continue to work for him? They were not unaware of the current situation; it wasn't Chen Yu dealing with Qingsong, but Dragon Breath.

Honestly, as Elders of the sect, they themselves knew that the current actions of the Yunlu Abode were inappropriate.

Dragon Breath had existed for many years; they did not participate in the changing of dynasties and only performed their essential duties.

It could be said that their status was irreplaceable, but now the Yunlu Abode wanted to replace their position, and Dragon Breath certainly would not agree.

The strength of the Yunlu Abode was strong, but compared to Dragon Breath, it was still several grades behind, so the problem the Yunlu Abode faced now was very serious.

Dragon Breath would not openly tear their faces with them, but it was hard to say behind the scenes. For instance, with Chen Yu and the others before them, it was impossible that they did not have the support of Dragon Breath behind them.

"I keep my word," Li Yunshan said: "When has our Senior Brother ever lied to you?"

"Very well. Actually, we also know that Qingsong's current behavior is courting death, but he is the Sect Master, and we have no choice," Yunxi said.

"Yes, there are plenty of people in the sect who are dissatisfied with him now," Yunwu also hurriedly said: "Many people only listen to him because of his status as Sect Master; otherwise, it would have been in chaos long ago."

"We are relieved to have Senior Brother Li's word. Then we shall abandon the darkness and embrace the light."

"If you had said that earlier, we wouldn't have needed to fight this battle. Look at how this place of Sect Master Shen has been torn apart. Sect Master Shen, I am truly sorry."

Chen Yu walked out laughing, and seeing Shen Qingfeng cowering on the side, he pulled him out.

"It's... actually, Mr. Chen, before you all arrived, I had already intended to abandon the darkness and embrace the light," Shen Qingfeng said with an awkward expression: "But in the middle, a small problem arose."

"Were you schemed against by a woman?" Looking at Shen Qingfeng's appearance, Chen Yu understood. He had also heard that this fellow Shen Qingfeng was keen on the Dual Cultivation method.

"Yes." Shen Qingfeng's expression was very ugly. He glanced coldly at Hongrao; if it weren't for the fact that family scandals shouldn't be made public, he would have already dealt with this woman.

He considered himself to have treated this woman well, but he hadn't expected her to be so ungrateful. If Chen Yu and the others hadn't arrived in time just now, he probably would have been killed by these people. Every time he thought of this, Shen Qingfeng's face turned even more livid; he did not like betrayal.
