Chapter 10: Confrontation

With a helpless shake of his head, unable to bear the sight of such a beauty suffering from an unknown injury, Liu Feng had no choice but to step in and intervene

After a while, the main door creaked open with a sound of "creak"

Uh... this doesn't seem quite right... Liu Feng's expression showed some hesitation

Liu Feng chuckled softly, holding his iron sword horizontally. The giant sword pressed the iron sword into a breathtaking arc, yet it stopped just half a step in front of Liu Feng, no matter how fiercely Ren Lifi channeled her energy, she could not surpass that seemingly fragile but as solid as a city wall defense.

Um ... ...

Looking at the sword light at the tip of Liu Feng's sword, though fine and small, Lili Fei could genuinely feel the power within it. She raised her delicate eyebrows and said softly, "What a strange fighting spirit, the power is quite strong, but... here it comes."

In an instant, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, "Did you just suppress the fighting spirit within me?" His tone seemed to be filled with disbelief

Cough. That... that Miss Lifi... Liu Feng felt uncomfortable under that gaze and coughed softly

Lifi was in a dire situation under Liu Feng's relentless assault, having narrowly avoided several strikes from the iron sword. If this continued, defeat was only a matter of time.

Liu Feng drew out a slender sword, infusing it with his vital energy. The sword's aura concentrated at the tip, and he gently nodded, "Please."

"Swift Wind Step, activate"

"What kind of ridiculous ancestral teachings are these? Is there something wrong with the brains of your ancestors, like a book? After being defeated, you just follow the victor around; doesn't that mean you are destined to be a servant?" Liu Feng raised an eyebrow and disdainfully curled his lips.

Liu Feng furrowed his brows deeply, reached out to touch his earlobe, and was already somewhat impatient. His tone gradually turned cold: "I don't care about any of this. I don't want people I dislike around me, and your so-called family teachings are of no use to me. Those are the rules set by your ancestors, not mine. That's enough said, goodbye."

Within the body, the true energy flows rapidly along the meridians, ultimately bursting forth from the body and forming a thin layer of protective energy outside. Although it does not possess the spectacular grandeur of Lifi's soaring fighting spirit, it carries its own unique momentum, strong and unyielding, akin to a gentle breeze caressing the hills.

I am Fei Er... ?" the beauty said softly, her voice lowered, her charming face flushed. Yet, deep down, she felt a tingling sensation on her skin due to the very sound of her own voice.

Like a bolt from the blue

"Do not call me Miss Liffy," the beauty beside her suddenly said

A surge of energy coursed through his entire body, hinting at a potential breakthrough to the Eighth Rank Sky Sword Master.

Looking at Lifi, who was dressed in a form-fitting female swordsman's outfit, Liu Feng felt extremely frustrated as he touched his earlobe

Confused, Liu Feng had no choice but to follow closely behind.

Lifi bit down hard, as if she had made a decision in her heart

After a while, Lifi woke up with a soft "murmur," the sound of books swaying gently around her.

The inner hall of the Mercenary Guild, above the training ground

Although it is indeed nice to have a beautiful woman by my side, I can't shake the feeling that she has ulterior motives. Therefore, it is better to refuse.

Lifi pouted her red lips but did not respond

This is Liu Feng's first confrontation in the other world against an opponent who is not significantly different from him. Although he has killed the "Fire Cloud Demon Lion" in the "Forest of Death," that was merely a magical beast and cannot be compared to a human of the same level. However, Liu Feng is still confident in defeating Lifi. Currently, his true abilities are already on par with a seventh-tier powerhouse, not to mention that he also possesses the "Swift Wind Step" and "Mirror Clone," which are his real trump cards. Liu Feng remains confident in overcoming Lifi, as his true abilities are already comparable to those of a seventh-tier powerhouse, especially with the addition of the "Swift Wind Step" and "Mirror Clone," which are indeed his ultimate weapons.

The inexplicable Liu Feng could only stand on the field like a dazed goose, waiting expectantly.

She quietly fixed her peach blossom eyes on the man across from her

Liu Feng did not give up this opportunity, wielding his iron sword like a venomous snake, each thrust aimed at the openings inadvertently exposed by Lifi.

Lifi, who brought Liu Feng here, smiled and said, "You just wait here for a moment; the master will be here soon." After saying this, she swayed her alluring figure and walked out slowly

Liu Feng chuckled lightly once more, and with a powerful swing of the iron sword, infused with a strong force of true energy, he sent Lifi into a flurry of confusion.

Before the words had finished, the person had already reached Liu Feng, wielding a massive sword that sliced through the air with a whistling sound, striking towards his waist and abdomen.

Liu Feng was taken aback, "Ah, that Lifi... Fi'er, you must speak with integrity. We are both innocent, and heaven and earth can bear witness. If you continue to speak recklessly, even though you are a beauty, I will still have to sue you for defamation."

What happened? Liu Feng was somewhat puzzled; was it not good to help her suppress that fighting spirit?

Liu Feng, who had also taken a couple of steps back, looked at Lifi, whose face was becoming increasingly flushed, and then at the fighting spirit that continued to rise. He couldn't help but frown, realizing that Lifi must have used some technique that caused a short-term surge in her fighting spirit. However, it seemed that this technique was likely to inflict significant harm on the human body.

Once again narrowly dodging the thrust of the iron sword, Lifi thought to herself: "It seems I really have to use that move? If I don't, I won't be able to gauge his strength. I must know his full capabilities in order to..."

Hearing this indirect response, Lifi's delicate face subtly changed, and she thought to herself: "I didn't expect his hidden strength to be so formidable; he must be at least level 8. With such a powerful ally, how could I let him go so easily?"

Like a flash of lightning, it appeared behind Lifi. Before she could react, a heavy chop struck her neck, and the vital energy surged through the fingers into Lifi's body, forcefully blocking the fighting spirit. The fighting spirit, however, was unwilling to yield, violently colliding several times. That seemingly weak white airflow remained completely still. In the absence of any external control, this fighting spirit gradually dissipated.

You... you... sob... sob. Do you want to shirk your responsibilities after doing something? Lifi's eyes turned, and she began to cry softly.

"Hehe, then please follow me," Lifi said, covering her small mouth and giggling softly

Lifi looked at Liu Feng's gloomy expression, smiled slightly, and said in a delicate voice: "Seventh-tier Earth Sword Master Lifi." Her delicate body trembled, and purple fighting spirit burst forth, with a powerful aura continuously increasing in the training ground

Seeing Liu Feng under her imposing presence, he showed no signs of discomfort; instead, it seemed that the fighting spirit in his eyes grew stronger. Lifi smiled with satisfaction

The immense pressure surged forth, and Liu Feng finally retracted a hint of disdain in his heart, revealing a serious expression. He also found the answer to why the mercenaries in the mercenary hall feared Lifi so much: a seventh-tier Earth Swordmaster is one of the few powerful figures on the entire continent, far beyond what their small mercenary group could contend with

Hehe... how about this... that is, Li Fei'er... let's pretend that what happened today never occurred... you can still live freely, how does that sound? Liu Feng chuckled awkwardly while rubbing his hands together

Drawing the broad sword from her back, Lifi tilted her head and said in a delicate voice, "Am I allowed to attack now?"

He got up and walked towards the hall. When he reached the door, a delicate voice came from behind, playfully saying: "So what you mean is, if you fall in love with me, then... I can stay by your side, right?" As the words trailed off, they gradually weakened, and if it weren't for Liu Feng's keen hearing, he truly would not have caught it.

The great sword in hand once again deflected the iron sword that came at her with great speed. Lifi swiftly retreated two steps, focused her mind, and with a thought, invoked: Dissolution

However, Lifi did not want to fail like this; she was inherently a very proud person and was unwilling to accept being surpassed by someone who seemed to be younger than herself

Opening her eyes and looking at Liu Feng's smiling face, a hint of unusual color flashed in Lifi's beautiful eyes. Noticing Liu Feng's gaze, her delicate face turned slightly red. Just as she was about to struggle to get up, she suddenly stopped, furrowed her brows, and closed her eyes.

He reached out to catch the delicate body that was about to fall, lifted her horizontally, and felt the soft touch in his arms. Liu Feng chuckled softly and placed her gently on the nearby chair, waiting for the beauty to awaken

"That is not permissible; the ancestral teachings must not be violated," Lifi said, blinking her long eyelashes and speaking in a delicate voice

Dressed in a swordsman's outfit, Lifi displayed a strikingly different aura from before, a blend of fragility intertwined with a resolute strength that rivaled that of a man

Lifi raised her head, tears continuously streaming from her beautiful eyes, dropping to the ground like pearls, splashing into several droplets. In a sobbing voice, she said: "Our family has a ancestral teaching that if one is defeated in a direct confrontation and the operation of 'disintegration' is prevented, the individual may follow closely beside the one who has defeated them"
