Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 967: Who Said It's Useless?

A shivering sensation intensified even more, surrounding the huge hall and all the experts from the weakest to the strongest in a deep and terrifying fear; it was as if they were aware that a terrifying creature that would be able to kill them in an instant was stealthily watching them. 

Feng Zhiyun and Li Fengyuan's spirit senses were extended in an instant, but they did not find any strange figure. They tried to trace the source of the voice by searching for the aura or force, but it was impossible. More however, the chill and terror was still there, like a strange and cold force enveloping them. 

"Huh?" 

Feng Zhiyun blinked in confusion as her beautiful eyes suddenly noticed a slender and somewhat short figure appear in front of her. She didn't even know how that figure had suddenly appeared several meters in front of her in an instant! 

Li Fengyuan seemed to notice this figure as well, and her hand tightened her grip on the hilt of her sword a little more as she focused on this figure. Her sword aura became much more concentrated, reaching her current limit. 

The figure that appeared in front of the two of them appeared to be an old man of over 80 years of age, thin, short and with a slightly dark and withered complexion and skin. Even an intense aura of death could be perceived from this old man. 

Both Feng Zhiyun and Li Fengyuan swallowed saliva with difficulty, sensing that something was not right. Both women could not sense even a hint of the dying old man's aura in front of them, as if he was just a mere mortal who had a few days left to live, but the intuition of terror and fear filled their bodies, indicating to them that this old man was extremely powerful. 

They even had the feeling that he seemed to be stronger than Ling Tian by making them feel inexplicable fear! 

"You two... you smell a bit like immortal chi!" The faint voice emerged from the strange old man, his eyes falling on Feng Zhiyun and Li Fengyuan, glowing with slight excitement. 

Quickly, Feng Zhiyun's domain expanded in an instant, enclosing the strange old man inside it. The cultivation essence and soul spiritual force quickly merged, when the next moment, two lotus flowers appeared between Feng Zhiyun and the strange old man, each turning into two different colored swords, one white and one black. 

A sharp aura, which in a split second turned into a tangible sword, seemed to physically materialize and slash towards the strange old man as well. Li Fengyuan had unsheathed her sword in an instant, concentrating all her sword strength into the attack and combining with Feng Zhiyun's attack. 

The strange old man did not move, allowing himself to be locked in Feng Zhiyun's domain. He did not even move a finger, let alone look up. The two black and white colored swords slash down, just as the faintly invisible sword made of pure sword aura fell directly on the strange old man. 

Both attacks of the two women fell on the old man, but strangely nothing happened. It was as if as soon as the cultivation essences and forces had touched his body they had disappeared! 

"A power surpassing a great ascension realm expert, and a natural sword aura that only pure swordsmen with sword talent can achieve..." 

The old man lifted his eyelids and looked at Feng Zhiyun and then Li Fengyuan with slight astonishment, showing a slight reaction finally, "And to think that there really were such beautiful and perfect young fairies, much more than the fairies of the Immortal World!" 

Looking at the lines and figures of both women's bodies, the old man couldn't help but quietly exclaim full of surprise, looking at the faces of Feng Zhiyun and Li Fengyuan. The beauty of these two women could clearly compete with the hundred most famous beauties in the Immortal World! 

How could he not be astonished to see that on a lower plane there were two peerless beauties? Not only that, both beauties also had a very powerful strength and cultivation! Far beyond the ordinary! 

Although the old man could not see the nature and mystery of Feng Zhiyun's strange force, he was certain that Li Fengyuan belonged to the ranks of talented swordswomen with supreme swordsmanship. Only true swordsmen who have either a sword heart or sword body can manage to enter the great path of the sword! 

"Unfortunately, you can only serve as a small appetizer..." The old man shook his head and whispered indifferently. His hand then raised, slowly but with a calmness, pointing it towards Feng Zhiyun and Li Fengyuan. 

Strangely, Feng Zhiyun's domain that held the old man bound disappeared in an instant, as if all her cultivation essence and soul spiritual force had vanished into nothingness, stunning Feng Zhiyun at once. The alarm in her heart had been triggered when she saw the old man raise his hand towards the two of them, feeling a completely different force that she had never faced before envelop her. 

The cultivation essence fiercely burst into her dantian. Slightly urging the force behind the two sources of mysterious powers Ling Tian gave her to control her power earlier, Feng Zhiyun circulated her cultivation essence and formed her domain again by combining it with her soul spiritual force. 

A domain again formed, this time with greater power and concentrated all around the terrifying old man. The raised arm stopped, as if the old man had decided to stop his movement. 

Swords of different sizes and shapes appeared instantly, materializing around the entire domain and attacking the old man in less than two seconds, engulfing him in a sea of swords by hundreds and thousands. 

A scroll inside Feng Zhiyun's storage ring was pulled out and activated. Various runes and patterns inside quickly glowed, forming what appeared to be a shield in the shape of an octagonal cauldron. Images of tigers and dragons painted on the surface of the cauldron glowed, strengthening the protective barrier. 

Some great ascension realm experts who had approached were injured just by touching the rank of Feng Zhiyun's domain, while the other youths and elders did not hesitate to withdraw from the battlefield. 

When a sword disappeared or was destroyed from Feng Zhiyun's domain, another sword seemed to absorb its power and become stronger, in the end with less than a few dozen swords remaining but they had acquired a terrifying power capable of rippling space! 

"It's useless..." 

Suddenly, a gloomy voice but totally filled with an indifferent feeling came from the old man who was wrapped in hundreds of swords. A light spiritual wave pulsation surged from his body, making the swords that attacked him disappear before touching his body. 

Feng Zhiyun's domain cracked and disappeared again just like a few moments ago. Feng Zhiyun spat out a mouthful of blood and she retreated a few steps back from the impact of the old man's aura, unable to bear it. 

The octagonal cauldron even disappeared. The barrier that had been created disappeared in the same manner as Feng Zhiyun's domain, as if a strange force swallowed it up. 

However, the old man did not even move. The arm he had raised earlier remained in the same position. He didn't seem to have even moved a finger. 

"Who said it's useless?"

Feng Zhiyun spat out some blood, mocking the old man and she immediately moved to the side, revealing the majestic but cold figure of Li Fengyuan like a heavenly sword, who was holding her sword with her two hands in front of her. 

Li Fengyuan's eyes suddenly widened. The aura exuding her entire body slightly changed a little, but it gave everyone the feeling that Li Fengyuan had become a sword herself. Even the sword in her hands could go unnoticed if they didn't focus their gaze in front of her! 

Li Fengyuan waved her arms and slashed towards the old man, her arms stretched out and her wrists gently swayed. Everything seemed to be in slow motion, moving and raising her arms, but in the next thought, Li Fengyuan's sword had already fallen and slashed towards the old man. 

A giant sword formed from Li Fengyuan's aura appeared in the sky, exuding a powerful sword energy that seemed to cut through the very sky in its wake. 

"You have reached the entrance of the sword path..." The old man whispered in surprise as he felt the majestic yet piercing sword energy in the giant sword falling on him. 

How is it that someone who has not even reached a thousand years of life can have such a profound understanding of the sword? And what's worse is that she is a girl who doesn't even seem to reach the age of 30! 

Not even the most talented and famous geniuses in the Immortal World known for their unparalleled talents in the sword could create such an attack of sword energy to this magnitude. They would have to spend at least several decades and even a century polishing and training with their swords to be able to barely reach the threshold of true power of the sword! 

Finally, the old man moved his arm and waved his arm. The thin, dark, bony fingers twitched. The old man's aura of death surged out in great quantity, and headed towards the giant sword in the sky. 

The giant sword seemed to move forward for about two more seconds before coming to a complete stop as it faced the old man's death aura. It trembled for an instant and exploded in the sky. 

Li Fengyuan also spat out a few puffs of blood as she felt the reaction of the impact and the backlash towards her sword technique. She fell almost to one knee as she leaned on her sword, breathing heavily but not taking her eyes off the old man who seemed to be getting closer and closer to his death with that aura of death. 

The old man's gaze turned grim as he looked at Li Fengyuan. Although Li Fengyuan's attack seemed to far surpass the level of Feng Zhiyun's attack, the power and sword energy was not something he could easily deal with right now if he did not defend properly. 

* Boom! * 

The barrier around the large hall and the entire place, created by the formation set up by the Dong family members, shook fiercely on one side, rippling and creating slight and small cracks on the surface, before closing again. 

A group of more than 10 individuals lay outside the barrier. Most wearing similar robes, while in front two men exuding powerful auras lay standing in splendor, gathering their cultivation essences once again to attack the barrier. The adults behind them also flowed their cultivation essences, preparing to attack. 

Feng Zhiyun's eyes sparkled when she saw her father and grandfather, as well as some of the more powerful members of the Feng family. Reinforcements had arrived from the family quickly! 

The cultivation essence giant hand materialized from Feng Zhiyun and grabbed Feng Xiao, placing him behind her and Li Fengyuan. That way, if anything happened, she could protect her younger brother. 

"..."

As several auras spread out and could be perceived around the place, the old man turned his gaze on Feng Ye and then Feng Junze. But quickly the glint in his eyes faded, exuding a trace of disappointment. He could see that the first was a world pinnacle expert, while the man beside him was no slouch either, with a cultivation at the great ascension realm middle stage, almost reaching him. 

"Almost..."

Raising his arm once again, an aura of death quickly flooded back. The protective barrier couldn't even withstand the old man's death aura and was destroyed in an instant!
