Chapter 207: A Battle with a Supreme Swordsman

As the two pushed their internal energy to the limit, the strength of a Grandmaster actually had a faint trend of stirring the power of heaven and earth. It seemed the two were infinitely close to the realm of "Heaven and Man as One."

Golden light gradually emerged from Ye Ye Gucheng, while bone-chilling cold air gradually radiated from Ximen Ximen Chuixue.

Immediately, the two floated in mid-air. Ye Ye Gucheng drew a circle with his sword and then flew toward Ximen Ximen Chuixue, and Ximen Ximen Chuixue also came to meet him head-on.

At the moment the two clashed, their sword tips touched, sparking in all directions. In the eyes of those martial artists, they had only crossed swords once, but in the eyes of Lin Fan and Qin Qin Mengyao, the two had already clashed countless times.

Now the two were performing their final move, both stabbing toward each other's throats at the same time. Only at the very last second did Ye Ye Gucheng suddenly withdraw his sword; otherwise, his sword would have pierced Ximen Ximen Chuixue's throat first.

Ximen Ximen Chuixue's expression changed, but his sword was inherently a ruthless sword, and in this moment of life and death, he hadn't thought about holding back at all, so in the next second, his sword would inevitably pierce through the throat of Ye Ye Gucheng, who had given up resistance.

"Roar!"

In this moment of life and death, Lin Fan transformed into a dragon and used a "Golden Dragon Probing Claw" to catch Ximen Ximen Chuixue's sword.

"Whoa!"

The crowd was in an uproar. First, they were shocked that Lin Fan could transform into a dragon, and second, they were surprised why he would intervene in the two's duel.

"Lin Fan, what do you mean by daring to intervene in the two's duel? This is the Emperor's decree; you are actually resisting the decree!"

Wei Wei Ziyun was shocked at first, and after reacting, he was furious.

"The Emperor's decree is for servants to hear. I am a Dragon God in the world; how could I obey? Stop your noise!"

"You..."

Wei Wei Ziyun was about to say more, but Qin Qin Mengyao's sword was already across his neck.

"My husband told you to stop your noise. Do you not understand, or do you not want your life?"

"I understand, I understand!"

Wei Wei Ziyun decisively admitted defeat. These people all had unimaginably high martial arts; he truly had the heart to kill the thieves but lacked the power to turn the tide.

"Ye Ye Gucheng, how can this swan song of the world, 'Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens,' end so hastily? Let me experience the last 'Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens' in your life!"

Lin Fan flipped his wrist, and the Seven-Star Pan-Dragon Sword appeared in his hand. He originally wanted to say something about how many catties and taels the sword weighed and what it was made of, but then he realized he didn't seem to know.

Then forget it. A sword is a sword; why so much nonsense?

Lin Fan held the sword in his right hand and gently stroked the tip with his left. A sharp sword qi condensed into a red glow through the tip, aimed at Ye Ye Gucheng.

"Good sword, good sword technique, good opponent!"

Ye Ye Gucheng leaped high and flew down. His whole body radiated light, as beautiful as a celestial being descending to earth. It was simply miraculous. The crowd present finally witnessed the true "Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens."

"Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens!"

"A Sword Separates the World!"

The tips of the two precious swords touched, sparking a large amount of fire, but in the end, "A Sword Separates the World" was superior. The sharp sword qi shattered Ye Ye Gucheng's precious sword and pierced through his heart.

Ye Ye Gucheng, who had been in the air, fell slowly. With the sword, the person exists; with the sword destroyed, the person dies. Ye Ye Gucheng was sincere to the sword and died by the sword; it could be considered a fitting end.

Ximen Ximen Chuixue caught Ye Ye Gucheng, who was about to hit the ground, and after giving Lin Fan a deep look, he left holding Ye Ye Gucheng's corpse and his broken sword.

Lin Fan didn't know what this look from Ximen Ximen Chuixue represented; perhaps he had taken him as his future opponent.

"Let's go, this battle is over!"

Lin Fan landed, then took Qin Qin Mengyao, Little Dragon Maiden, and the others and left the Imperial City.

Lu Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Hua Manlou saw this and followed them out.

The onlookers didn't know what to say. They had originally come to watch the duel between Ye Ye Gucheng and Ximen Ximen Chuixue, but it turned out Ye Ye Gucheng went to assassinate the Emperor and rebel.

Fortunately, Ximen Ximen Chuixue brought Ye Ye Gucheng back for the duel, but just when the two were about to decide the winner, the Heavenly Secret Young Master ran up to join in the fun and directly killed Ye Ye Gucheng with one sword strike. This was truly a development they could never have dreamed of.

However, they couldn't stand there and sigh for a while longer, because Wei Wei Ziyun started chasing people away.

Since the duel was over, how could these martial artists remain in the palace? They had to be driven out immediately.

So, before the crowd could react from their shock, they were driven out of the Imperial City, while Wei Wei Ziyun ran quickly to report the situation to the Emperor.

"Lin Fan, thank you!"

Outside the Imperial City, Lu Lu Xiaofeng suddenly said to Lin Fan.

"Thank me for what?"

Lin Fan smiled playfully.

"Thank you for saving Ximen Ximen Chuixue's life!"

"No, you are wrong. If I hadn't intervened, Ye Ye Gucheng would still have died, because he already had a heart set on death, and dying at the hands of Ximen Ximen Chuixue, who is also a supreme swordsman, would have been perfect. It's just that I couldn't bear for his final sword strike to be unable to go all out because of his reservations, so I took the initiative to send him off, and by the way, I got to appreciate the style of this 'Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens'."

Lin Fan smiled and shook his head.

"However, even if Ximen Ximen Chuixue didn't die, I think you will soon lose Ximen Ximen Chuixue as a friend."

Lin Fan left this final sentence and took the four ladies away.

"Hey, what do you mean? Speak clearly!"

Lu Lu Xiaofeng shouted from behind, but Lin Fan just waved his hand and left with the ladies.

"What did he mean?"

Lu Lu Xiaofeng turned to ask Hua Hua Manlou.

Hua Hua Manlou shrugged, indicating he didn't know either.

"You, Lu Lu Xiaofeng, don't you love solving puzzles the most? Just treat it as Lin Fan giving you a puzzle!"

Hua Hua Manlou then said with a smile.

"I hate these kinds of puzzles, because ordinary puzzles have nothing to do with me, and I can calmly seek the truth, but when it involves people around me, I can't stay calm."

Lu Lu Xiaofeng sighed helplessly.

"Heavenly Secret Young Master, after all; what he says is all 'heavenly secrets.' How could he speak clearly?"

Hua Hua Manlou didn't mind; it was normal for Lin Fan to say half and leave half.

"Qin Mengyao, did you understand?"

Lin Fan took the four ladies toward the Spring Flower Building, then suddenly turned and asked Qin Qin Mengyao.

"What?"

Qin Qin Mengyao was still immersed in the duel just now.

"Having emotions or being emotionless are just ways to become stronger. To reach a higher realm, one doesn't necessarily need to 'forget emotions to reach the supreme.' Neither Ye Ye Gucheng nor Ximen Ximen Chuixue were my opponents. Facts prove that the ruthless sword Dao is nothing more than that."

"Of course, Ximen Ximen Chuixue's ruthless sword Dao hasn't reached the highest realm, but even if he becomes a true sword god who severs all emotions in the future, he won't be my opponent! So don't practice that 'Cihang Sword Manual' of yours anymore. Later, when I find the 'Longevity Formula' and the 'God of War Record' for you to learn, okay?"

Lin Fan earnestly took Qin Qin Mengyao's hand and said.

"Okay!"

Qin Qin Mengyao was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a blooming smile.

"Qin Mengyao, you have fallen!"

Suddenly, a cold voice came. Lin Fan turned to look and saw a cold woman looking indifferently at him and Qin Qin Mengyao.
