Wanting Be Free
"First Step!"
Feng Xuan moved his right foot towards Li Fengyuan, increasing the pressure hovering over her.
But Li Fengyuan still did not move or attack, firmly resisting the pressure enveloping her!
Feng Xuan's figure grew again, astonishing everyone in the crowd!
"Second Step!"
Feng Xuan swung his left leg and fiercely stomped his foot, shaking the place completely. His aura fiercely increased and pressure began to take shape around Li Fengyuan.
Li Fengyuan finally gritted her teeth, feeling the enormous pressure on her; her legs began to tremble as well as her body, but she still did not give up!
"What don't you plan to attack? Come on! Weren't you very arrogant just a few moments ago?" Feng Xuan once again regained his arrogant and evil grin, looking at Li Fengyuan's current state.
Li Fengyuan ignored what Feng Xuan shouted and continued with her eyes closed, circulating her energy throughout her body to resist the pressure while at the same time connecting her being with her sword, becoming one with it!
"Third Step!"
Feng Xuan declared fiercely as he moved his right foot. His aura had increased just like his stature, growing to ten meters and rising even higher.
But when Feng Xuan was about to touch the ground as he took the third step, Li Fengyuan finally opened her eyes!
* Slash! *
A flash shone in the sand as Li Fengyuan slashed with her sword towards the giant Feng Xuan!
* Boom! *
Feng Xuan's giant body flashed as he was about to disappear and fell to his knees!
But this burst seemed to pierce through Feng Xuan as it expanded without discrimination!
The city lord, as well as the patriarchs and elders of the great families, expelled their auras and energies to resist and protect their respective family members. Only a few lone members of the public were injured.
A blade of what seemed to be made of pure cultivation essence extended from Li Fengyuan's sword and had cut towards Feng Xuan, transmitting an astonishing power that would make the giant disappear!
"Cough! You dare to defend yourself?!" Feng Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling as if the sword had pierced his internal organs and inflicted a fatal blow!
Feng Xuan could not believe that Li Fengyuan would dare to continue attacking! Moreover, that she could still harm him!
The domain he had created with his own cultivation essence and power had weakened and could break at any moment. Although this technique of his was powerful, he still couldn't use it fully and large amounts of energy were needed.
* Thud! *
However, at once it was clearly heard as a knee fell to the ground.
Everyone could see that Li Fengyuan already had one knee on the ground and the other might fall at any moment. Her complexion was pale and countless beads of sweat were pouring down her face, soaking her entire body; her breathing was very agitated and she could barely hold her sword as she leaned on it.
But if one paid closer attention, anyone could see that there was disappointment and powerlessness in her eyes!
She had failed to defeat Feng Xuan with this attack!
Feng Xuan struggled to his feet as he wiped the traces of blood over his mouth. Similarly, Li Fengyuan did not give up and tried to stand up again, but she could not. Her legs were trembling along with her whole body; she almost didn't have much energy left.
"Don't force me to do the fourth step, if I do, you're going to die! Even one sword won't be enough!"
Feng Xuan spoke darkly when he saw Li Fengyuan lean on her sword and stand up with difficulty.
If Li Fengyuan insisted on resisting, Feng Xuan would not hesitate to crush her completely!
"I'd rather die than lose and fall into your hands!" A line of blood flowed from the corner of Li Fengyuan's thin and beautiful lips, speaking firmly without hesitation. She took a low-level medicinal pill and tried to heal her internal wounds.
Li Fengyuan's aura rose once again, proving that she was unwilling to give up!
"I'll have to force you to let you know that you will always be beneath me!" Feng Xuan took another spirit pill, increasing his power and energy rapidly.
The auras of both of them increased by several folds, indicating that this would be the last round of attacks.
"That girl really is amazing." Ji Zhen ruthlessly looked at Li Fengyuan, being amazed by the battle that was unfolding. He likes strong and powerful women! His gaze full of wickedness and lewdness scanned Li Fengyuan's body inch by inch, observing from her legs to her sexy waist and shapely breasts.
"Go." The city lord signaled several of his guards to erect a barrier around the stage. The power the two of them were clearly demonstrating were from Golden Core experts!
Li Fengyuan gathered what little energy she had left in her sword, trying to blend her aura with her breath as she tried to achieve consonance once again.
Feng Xuan finished gathering his energy as well when he stood firmly and glared fiercely at Li Fengyuan.
"Although I barely mastered the fourth step of The Invincible Step, it can completely crush cultivators at the Golden Core Middle Stage! Even seriously injuring cultivators at the Late Stage is not impossible!" Feng Xuan announced proudly and arrogantly, with his long hair and robe being billowed by the wind.
Li Fengyuan did not respond like the previous times, annoying Feng Xuan by seeing that she was always ignoring him.
"Fourth Step!"
Feng Xuan took another step with dominance and ferocity, exploding in aura and power as the body was already over 15 meters tall and his foot was slowly falling, bringing terrifying power and pressure!
"Uhm!" Li Fengyuan groaned painfully as she felt her bones, muscles and internal organs being crushed and twisted by the horrible pressure. But she did not give up!
* Boom! *
* Slash! *
The giant Feng Xuan's foot finally landed on the sand and at the same time Li Fengyuan slowly waved his sword, slashing fiercely towards Feng Xuan's foot and being knocked back by the impact!
"Cough~!" Li Fengyuan spat out large mouthfuls of blood as she flew out, landing near the boundary area of the arena. Her breathing became unsteady and agitated, feeling her lungs ache and her body numb all over.
The sword in her hand flew off the stage, falling near the audience and cracking!
Feng Xuan retreated a few steps back as he spat out a mouthful of blood; his giant form also disappeared and the pressure and strength of the technique had vanished as he had no more power.
"Hahaha!" However, Feng Xuan stood up once again, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth as he took another medicinal pill. His aura was slightly restored and he was able to stand up again.
This is the difference between one realm and another! The quality of resistance and strength of the body and power!
Regeneration and stamina increase greatly with each advancement, especially when advancing to great realms.
Anxiety and despair completely covered Li Fengyuan, feeling that freedom and hope were gone and only her future was left written. Her gaze became a bit gloomy and reluctant, she could not defeat this scum despite working hard!
A figure approached Li Fengyuan's cracked sword and gently grasped it.
"Although you have dared to harm me and resisted uselessly, you are still worthy of being my woman, Feng Xuan's woman! Fengyuan, accept your fate and be aware that it is of no use for you to cultivate, you only have to raise and care for my children and be proud to be my wife!"
Feng Xuan was proud and haughty, wanting Li Fengyuan to understand at once that there is no use resisting before him.
Li Fengyuan's eyes became a little gloomier as the light in her consciousness was fading.
"The sword can cut from a single leaf to destroying an entire world, just as an unwavering but firm and resolute spirit that can withstand the most painful and powerless situation can break the established... if this is your resolve, then you have truly disappointed me. You won't have a chance to see what's after the storm, let alone be free."
Then, a calm voice but with a trace of indifference was heard throughout the place.
Li Fengyuan's eyes finally lit up as she tried to turn her face and search for the source of that voice!
