True Solution of the Sword Dao

Jiang Feng stood vigilantly in front of everyone, blue mist faintly emerging between his hands.

Two figures, one black and one white, floated above the deep pit as if standing on solid ground. The one in black clothing was a woman, while the man wore white.

But their appearances were strikingly similar, as if they were twins.

"Is this our target for the mission? How weak," the woman in black said in a low voice.

"Let’s make our move quickly; their Protector is not someone we can handle," the man frowned and said.

"Alright."

With another wave of her hand, the woman summoned countless black energy flames that howled with whirlwinds, spread out and headed straight for the ordinary people behind Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng let out a low growl, and his body flashed with blue light.

A set of blue and white armor materialized upon him.

"Third Stage! Ice Ryol!"

With a woosh, a massive amount of blue cold air rose to meet the black flames coming at them from both sides.

As soon as they made contact, the blue mist began to dissipate immediately, seemingly unable to withstand even a moment before scattering backwards.

"Everyone, retreat to the back!!" Jiang Feng shouted urgently.

Clang!!

A silver Longsword phantom suddenly emerged in front of the black flames and instantly severed them.

Then came two more light sounds.

Several screams rang out at once.

The two figures, one black and one white, fell down abruptly, no longer making a sound.

At the end of the street.

A familiar figure slowly emerged.

"Lin You, long time no see."

Lin Fei stood there with the familiar smile on his face, a Longsword hanging at his waist, surrounded by countless energy flames that circled around him like subjects around a Monarch.

But eerily, half of his face was covered with grey-white face armor. His ears protruded backwards like fish fins.

Ice blue flame patterns slowly burned at his forehead, making him seem less than human.

"The Ancestor! It’s the Ancestor!"

"Retreat! Everyone, retreat!!"

"Run!"

Suddenly, chaos erupted all around, and the enemy faction, which had just been extremely arrogant, hastily retreated in disarray.

Jiang Feng looked around, then at Lin Fei again, with confusion, doubt, and suddenness flashing in his eyes. But above all, shock.

"Ancestor?! Lin... Fei...??"

He might only be among the lowest echelon of strong warriors, but even so, the significance carried by the word "Ancestor" was extremely clear to him, and naturally, he understood the associated terror even more.

The people behind him.

Lin Jianguo and Jiang Feng also showed hesitation and shock on their faces.

"Is that... Feifei?" Jiang Feng murmured softly, staring at that familiar face.

Xu Ke clenched his fists tightly, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

Jiang Nan and Chen Yuanyuan were mostly blank-minded due to the sudden turn of events. Just a moment ago, they were on the edge of death, and now the situation reversed just like in a TV drama, making them feel as though they were in a dream.

"Be careful!!"

Xu Ke suddenly called out in alarm.

Lin Fei’s figure blurred.

Hiss!!

An arrow made of flames aiming for his back instantly dissipated, falling as countless red light spots.

"Sword Saint Yan Fei! It’s Sword Saint Yan Fei! Run!!"

A voice called out, tinged with a hint of fear.

Lin Fei smiled faintly.

With the sound of metal, the Longsword was unsheathed, and Ye Yuhua’s phantom faintly materialized upon the blade.

"Ahhh!!"

Sudden screams erupted, only to abruptly stop.

Several strong warriors, uniformed like the Holy Light Department, were cut in two. Their corpses fell from the surrounding buildings, blood splattering everywhere.

On the lampposts, on the cars, on the ground, everywhere was a scarlet mess, and the acrid smell of blood filled the air.

"Are you sure you want to face both my Holy See and the heretics at the same time?" a large man holding a white greatsword floated down from a rooftop.

"Even if you are the Golden Vice-Chamberlain, the Child of Prophecy isn’t something you can enjoy alone."

Two more people floated down gently after him. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Boom!!

Bursts of lightning flashed by, thunder rumbling loudly.

Innumerable dark clouds spread quickly across the sky, a natural phenomenon induced by the gravitational pull of the Ancestor-level powerhouse’s strength.

The dark clouds spiraled, forming a huge black vortex.

Three pure white beams of light suddenly pierced through the clouds, landing over the heads of the descending trio as if all else was plunged into darkness except them. Two of them faintly exhibited Holy Light, while above the head of the third, a small hexagram crystal disc appeared.

"Oh? Three at the Ancestor Peak?" Lin Fei licked his lips, "Threatening me?"

"Tracing, we don’t want to fall out with you. The golds and we heretics have always had a good relationship, and I don’t want any rifts," the middle-aged man of the heretics said with a deep voice.

Lin Fei’s eyes flashed with golden flames as he looked at the middle-aged man.

"Hmph!" The man grunted, retreating several steps backward, his face showing shock. "You! You’re not a junior Ancestor!!??"

"Since negotiation is ineffective, let us commence. How about we just destroy this city outright?" one of the Holy See’s men sneered.

"You can try," Lin Fei said with a light laugh, then disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Bang!!

The man was suddenly struck by a silver light and sent flying, crashing hard into the storefront of a shop behind him.

A golden disc swiftly appeared behind him, and with another bang, he was stopped by the disc.

As Lin Fei’s figure emerged in front of the man, the Sword of the Void was placed directly against the man’s throat.

Layer upon layer of white scales appeared on the man’s neck, staunchly resisting the penetrating strike of the Sword of the Void.

"El!" Amidst shouts, another person from the Holy See swung his greatsword, its blade shining with glaring white light, and slashed fiercely at Lin Fei.

Boom!!

A burst of Blue Flame suddenly exploded, enveloping the three figures and drowning out the white light.

"Get out of the way!!" a voice roared.

A huge hourglass phantom suddenly manifested above the area.

"Too late..." Lin Fei reappeared where he had been. He lightly lifted the Sword of the Void.

"Shattering Void," a flash of silver gleamed on the blade.

Whirl!!

The area wrapped in blue flames shattered like glass.

Space scattered like fragments, revealing the pitch-black unknown space within.

"Space fracture!!!" Red Lotus Flame’s face showed fear "You... you have already..." His voice cut off abruptly.

With a crack, Red Lotus Flame shattered like a piece of glass and fell into the deep black space.

In the blink of an eye, the two spatial black holes automatically repaired themselves.

All was quiet around, and the three Ancestor clones were dealt with in an instant.

"Red Lotus, it’s time for you to come out."

Lin Fei tilted her head upwards, gazing at the sky.

Countless dark clouds swirled, amid flashes of lightning and thunder.

Threads of red mist were rapidly converging in the sky, forming a fiery red sphere.

A fiery red column of fire roared down.

Boom!!

Countless flames converged together, forming a liquid-like substance similar to magma, tightly encircling Lin Fei.

The dazzling firelight almost made Lin You and the others unable to open their eyes.

"In the relentless flames of non-thought, transcend the limit," Lin Fei murmured. Numerous white bone armors spread across his skin.

The terrifying high temperature continuously scorched his body, yet it was neutralized and healed by his immense demonic power.

"I’ve always been hesitating whether to really make this choice," Lin Fei lifted his head to look at the fiery red sphere in the sky. His features slowly began oozing scarlet blood.

This was a consequence of his Demon Body not fully withstanding the high temperature.

Hiss!

A thick bone spur tail suddenly grew from his back, twisting and turning.

The gray-white surface was covered with layers of barbs, looking fierce. His ears quickly extended backward and, with a swish, opened like a pair of bat wings.

"Sword Demon True Form of Destruction... you forced me into this..." Lin Fei raised his hand, and the Sword of the Void was suddenly covered with countless gray-white bone materials. With a light slash,

Numerous blue blade fires spread. Instantly splitting the column of fire.

"Just a mere projection... Red Lotus, you underestimate me," Lin Fei said indifferently.

"Is that so? What about this?"

A cold male voice came from the sky.

Suddenly, on the streets that had been cleared, a series of dense footsteps rapidly approached.

Some vague figures slowly closed in.

It was actually the civilians who lived in Ping City.

Countless dense crowds were quickly approaching Lin Fei and Lin You’s location. Their eyes glowed with a faint red light. Two faint red Red Lotuses burned in their eyes.

It seemed that the ordinary people nearby were all being manipulated to come here.

"Driving civilians into battle, what’s the point?" Lin Fei frowned slightly.

"Is there a point? Why not give it a try and see?" Red Lotus spoke coldly.

Lin Fei slashed casually.

Pale blue flames spread wildly.

The blue flames instantly ignited everything in front of them, turning into a sea of fire. The crowd was scorched by the flames, suddenly waking up.

Screams, cries of horror, and wails erupted violently.

"A heart as firm as steel, true to being the Tracing Sword Saint," Red Lotus’s icy voice came through.

Lin Fei’s expression remained calm, within tens of meters around him, the large crowd turned rapidly into countless ashes. It was empty again in no time. Instantly, thousands were burnt to ashes while alive.

"It’s over,"

"Perhaps," replied the voice of Red Lotus, slowly fading away.

The red orb in the sky exploded with a bang, instantly dissipating into thin air.

Not until the dark clouds in the sky swiftly dispersed, restoring the original blue sky.

A trace of blood passed over Lin Fei’s face as she suppressed the serious injuries in her body, and exhaled softly. She turned to face Lin You and company.

"Little You, are you alright?"

Lin Fei gently reached out, wanting to stroke Lin You’s hair.

Slap.

Lin You stepped back, eyes brimming with a hint of fear.

Lin Fei paused for a moment. Without speaking, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

He turned to look around, surveying the surroundings.

Jiang Nan, Xu Ke, Dad and Mom, all of them stared at him blankly.

"Feifei... is it really you?" Lin Jianguo asked in a faint voice, his face pale.

"Dad..."

Lin Fei paused briefly.

His voice seemed like it was overlaid with many others, completely devoid of human tone. It was eerie and terrifying.

A flicker of fear flashed through Lin Jianguo’s eyes.

Lin Fei wanted to approach them.

But he found himself unable to lift his feet.

The people opposite him harbored eyes filled with strangeness and fear. What reflected in their eyes was not Lin Fei, but a grey and white sword demon covered in bone spurs.

This was the premature demon god form achieved by using the Divine Instrument True Lies, now incapable of concealing its appearance. Hence, the Holy Light was forever submerged in a sea of white light. Red Lotus too was engulfed in black flames all over his body.

Griffin even stayed within the demon god armor, not revealing his true face anymore.

Crack!

A crack emerged on the surface of the bone armor encasing Lin Fei.

Pangs of pain from countless wounds spread all over his body. It was as if he was immersed in sulfuric acid, his body continuously corroding and burning.

A look of confusion and agony flickered across Lin Fei’s eyes.

"I clearly did not waver..." he murmured in a low voice.

"I did not waver!!"

Crack!

Another crack instantly appeared, this time across his face.

Lin Fei reached out, bewildered, and gently touched the mask on his face.

"My Sword Intent should be impeccable..." he mumbled to himself almost inaudibly.

More cracking sounds followed.

Fine cracks rapidly spread across the bone armor, like a mirror about to shatter, filled with fissures.

Hiss...

Wisps of blue mist slowly seeped out from the cracks.

Lin Fei raised one hand and with a flourish of the white cape, he vanished on the spot.

(The following is free. To be honest, this book is nearing its conclusion. From the beginning of writing at will to later embracing responsibility, this book has not satisfied me, not reaching the goals I have in my heart. But as it progressed, I felt so tired, so exhausted. Such a protagonist is too difficult to write about. Without due care, the painstakingly crafted image could be destroyed. It satisfies, however, my fondness for an antagonist boss complex.
