Boom!
A terrifying sword qi vortex, like a fearsome bolt of lightning, roared down, carrying an earth-shattering sharpness that could easily obliterate the divine intent of a Grandmaster.
However, Ling Fan shook his head and chuckled.
"Not strong enough!"
He flicked a finger.
The rolling vortex of sword qi, before it even approached, exploded into pieces. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Pei Nanwei drew her sword again.
Several vortices of sword qi, imbued with even more potent sword dao aura, descended with a roar.
Yet, Ling Fan still shook his head.
"Still not strong enough!"
"Again."
"Again!"
Ling Fan repeatedly flicked his fingers, shattering Pei Nanwei's sword intent attacks.
This finally enraged Pei Nanwei completely.
Outside.
The crowd suddenly started in surprise.
They didn't know what had happened.
They saw a rumbling of bloodline erupt from Pei Nanwei's petite and alluring body. Her entire form began to shimmer with divine light, simultaneously unleashing a terrifying sword intent unlike any before.
In that instant.
The entire Luoyan Tower trembled, sword qi soaring into the sky.
That sword intent madly invaded Ling Fan's body.
Finally, it converged before Pei Nanwei into a divine sword flowing with terrifying sword intent.
A dangerous fluctuation, capable of threatening true Heavenly Origin realm martial grandmasters, quietly permeated the air.
Ling Fan nodded slightly.
"Now that's interesting, this is more like it."
"Arrogant, take this!"
Pei Nanwei pushed forward with both palms.
Shu!
The terrifying divine sword suddenly vanished from its spot, carrying a dangerous fluctuation that threatened Heavenly Origin realm grandmasters, whistling towards Ling Fan as fast as lightning.
Ling Fan's expression remained unchanged.
He extended a hand and gently clenched it.
Instantly, the entire world of consciousness froze.
Whether it was the sword intent Pei Nanwei had unleashed.
Or her very being.
All were imprisoned in place, unable to move.
And as Ling Fan took a gentle step forward.
Endless sword qi condensed out of thin air.
Transforming into countless fearsome spirit swords, densely pointing at her entire body.
Pei Nanwei was utterly shocked at that moment.
Her usually stoic face, as unyielding as ancient ice, finally showed a complete change of expression.
She had initially believed her sword intent could easily crush this youth.
But only now did she realize how profoundly wrong she was.
With a mere thought from this youth.
She could completely immobilize her sword intent.
What did this signify?
It signified that this youth's sword intent was far superior to her own level.
If Ling Fan's sword intent was as vast as a bottomless lake.
Then her sword intent could only be likened to a small puddle.
The difference was like heaven and earth.
There was no comparison.
In terms of sword intent, she had been ruthlessly crushed!
This gave rise to a deep sense of frustration within her.
She had always believed herself to be the strongest sword dao prodigy in the entire Liuyun Kingdom, comprehending sword intent at the Profound Gang realm, with an immeasurable future.
But who knew this suddenly appearing grey-haired youth.
Had a sword intent ten, a hundred times stronger than hers!
It was likely not weaker than that of top sword dao grandmasters.
What kind of monster was he?
Ling Fan's figure appeared above Pei Nanwei.
With a faint smile, he said, "Pei Nanwei, I wish to take you as my sword attendant. Are you willing?"
Pei Nanwei's entire body trembled.
The sword qi dragon beneath her dissipated.
Her entire being prostrated deeply at Ling Fan's feet.
"I am honored that Master does not disdain me. Nanwei is willing to hold the sword for Master, serve by your side, and follow Master in pursuing the ultimate sword dao."
Even a sword dao prodigy as proud as Pei Nanwei.
At this moment, she submitted respectfully before Ling Fan.
"Good."
Ling Fan released the restraint.
Pei Nanwei felt her body instantly lighten. The sword intent that had surged forth also receded rapidly, almost instantly, and she respectfully withdrew from Ling Fan's body.
Outside.
Pei Nanwei's body trembled slightly.
Her vacant eyes gradually focused.
The crowd's spirits immediately lifted, seeing that the battle between Pei Nanwei and that arrogant brat had concluded.
They assumed that brat had been crushed by Pei Nanwei's powerful sword intent.
"Miss Pei's sword dao is divine. That brat was overconfident, daring to underestimate the Pei family's sword dao. He truly deserved to die!"
A genius recruited by the Pei family flattered.
"It was too good of a death for him! If you ask me, he should have been pierced by ten thousand swords."
Someone said resentfully.
Still not satisfied.
Just as they were chattering endlessly, Pei Nanwei strode forward quickly.
And then, to everyone's dumbfounded expressions, she knelt down towards Ling Fan.
"Nanwei pays respects to Master!"
Boom!
At that moment.
Everyone was stunned speechless.
Each and every one of them looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Their eyes widened involuntarily, their mouths agape.
Their jaws were about to hit the ground.
What the hell.
Just now, that good-for-nothing had brazenly said Pei Nanwei was decent and could barely be his sword attendant.
At the time, everyone had dismissed it as boasting.
Who would have thought…
It actually came true!
How absurd was this scene.
This was Pei Nanwei, after all.
This sword dao prodigy, this peerless beauty who was famous throughout the royal city, calling that good-for-nothing "Master"?
And kneeling to him…
At that moment.
Whether it was Wei Liuping, Song Yuhang, Li Chenyang, Jiang Yong, or even Jin Yuyao and the others.
Or Pei Jingguang and those geniuses recruited by the Pei family.
All were dumbfounded.
They felt their worldviews, formed over twenty years, shattered into pieces.
It could be said their three views were utterly destroyed!
Pei Jingguang's expression turned extremely ugly.
He looked at his cousin, who had always been highly valued by the family, and frowned deeply. "Nanwei, have you gone mad! He's merely a brat at the early Profound Gang realm, and you're kneeling and pledging fealty to him! Where does this leave our Pei family!"
He exclaimed almost roaring.
"Get up quickly! You are forbidden to kneel to this good-for-nothing! What merit does he have to be worthy of a sword dao prodigy like you kneeling to him!"
Pei Jingguang's roar pulled everyone back from their shock to reality.
They were still emotionally turbulent.
Finding it difficult to accept this reality.
At the same time, they were incredibly curious, as if countless cats were scratching at their hearts.
They desperately wanted to know how this brat, in their eyes, had managed to subdue Pei Nanwei.
However, Pei Nanwei ignored Pei Jingguang's roaring questions.
Her gracefully proportioned, alluring body remained respectfully kneeling on one knee at Ling Fan's feet.
Only when Ling Fan slightly lowered his gaze, looked at her, and said, "Rise."
Did Pei Nanwei finally stand up.
Being so utterly ignored by Pei Nanwei.
Enraged Pei Jingguang to the point of leaping with fury.
He cast a gloomy gaze towards Ling Fan.
"What kind of intoxicating potion did you give my cousin to make her submit to you! You'd best give me an explanation, or I'll ensure you have no place to be buried."
Pei Jingguang glared at Ling Fan with murderous intent.
"Noisy."
Ling Fan merely waved his hand indifferently.
This attitude completely infuriated Pei Jingguang.
"You court death!"
Boom!
A terrifying sword intent suddenly erupted from Pei Jingguang's body, sharp and peerless.
As he pointed a finger, a thick stream of sword dao energy, as large as a water bucket, exploded towards Ling Fan.
