Cultivation Begins From Infancy

Chapter 69 The Rising Moon, True Form

6 min read

When Li Hao descended from the sky, Li Yuanzhao and the others, who were being intimidated by the swarm of monsters, were all stunned.

Yu Wei's mouth dropped open, his eyes nearly popping out as he stared at Li Hao in disbelief.

"You guys are here too?"

Li Hao didn’t expect to run into them in the west of the city. Weren't they supposed to be on patrol? How did they end up here?

He glanced at Cui Fan, who looked miserable and clearly unwilling.

Then he looked at Wei Feng, a man he wasn't unfamiliar with, having followed them all the way.

"You..."

Wei Feng stared blankly at Li Hao. He was at the Fifteen Li level, so he could tell that the two who came flying in were not led by Yue Shuhong, but by the young man in front of him.

This guy, whom he had been following to protect Li Fu, was actually at the Fifteen Li level?!!

His level was even higher than Li Fu's?!!

Who was protecting whom here?

Wei Feng felt a bit dazed. He had ventured out when he was at the Spirit Wanderer level and had seen many talented people, but... a Fifteen Li level at such a young age?

He had never heard of such a thing!

It was said that the offspring of the Divine General's Mansion were all geniuses, but even the most gifted couldn’t reach this level, right?

"Monsters are coming!"

At this moment, someone nervously shouted.

Everyone's gaze turned to the city wall, where the rushing monsters were now within the archers' range.

"Fire arrows!!"

The guard captain, a middle-aged man at around the eighth or ninth level of the Spirit Inheritance realm, shouted loudly.

Countless arrows shot out like a black rain. These were specially made arrows that could ward off evil and kill monsters.

Under the rain of arrows, many monsters were injured, but even more pressed on through the barrage.

"Monster Suppression Formation!"

The captain shouted again.

More than ten monster suppressors in dark robes hurried to a high platform on the city wall. Each summoned their own spirit, which looked different. They held hands, connecting their spirit power, seemingly trying to maintain some balance to cast the formation.

Li Hao looked at the monsters that were getting closer, now only a hundred meters from the city wall. He turned to Ren Qianqian, whose sword was in her hand.

"Can I borrow your sword?"

Li Hao said.

Ren Qianqian snapped back to reality, staring at Li Hao in disbelief. She still found it hard to believe the terrifying power he had just shown.

Seeing Li Hao reach for her sword, she instinctively tightened her grip on the scabbard and asked, "Do you know how to use a sword?"

She hadn’t seen him carrying any weapons while riding.

"I know a bit," Li Hao nodded.

He had been too rushed when he first entered the world and hadn’t brought a sword. If he went back into the world, he would definitely remember to take the precious sword given by the second master.

Ren Qianqian hesitated. A swordsman’s sword was always with them, especially since she treasured her sword.

But given the dangerous situation, she knew Li Hao was powerful yet unarmed. After a brief moment of hesitation, she handed the sword to Li Hao.

With a swift motion, Li Hao drew the sword, the blade shining like autumn water.

In an instant, the sword vibrated, sounding like a waking sword song, glowing with a bright white light and buzzing.

Li Hao turned and stepped out, standing in mid-air about ten meters outside the city wall.

His figure, suspended in the air, immediately drew the attention of many soldiers on the wall, who were all shocked. This was a sign of the Fifteen Li level!

Their city lord was only at the Spirit Wanderer level, not even close to Fifteen Li!

"Rising Moon..."

Li Hao murmured softly.

Over the past five years, he had naturally studied the three sword techniques from the back of "Endless Sea."

There were four techniques in total: Tides, Broken River, Rising Moon, and Endless Sea.

At this moment, he was using the third technique, second only to the ultimate move.

Rising Moon!

In that instant, everyone on the city wall seemed to see a bright moon rising from Li Hao's palm.

The shining long sword had vanished, leaving only a dazzling silver moon, round and radiant, gathering from Li Hao's hand and slowly rising like it was on the sea, flying towards the swarm of monsters.

Layers, true form!

As everyone was lost in the beauty of this moon, it swept into the monster horde. With the moonlight bursting forth, the countless monstrous shadows were scattered like darkness driven away by light, retreating like a tide.

But in reality, they weren't retreating; they were vanishing!

"This sword technique..."

Ren Qianqian's pupils contracted, her pretty face showing shock and disbelief as she stared at the boy with the sword.

That miraculous moon left her utterly stunned.

Was that... swordsmanship?!

Not only Ren Qianqian was shocked, but also Yue Shuhong and Wei Feng.

Yue Shuhong realized at that moment that when Li Hao had killed the Tiger Robe Real Person earlier, he hadn’t even used his full strength, not even a tenth of it.

Just this brilliantly dazzling sword technique was enough to stir the entire Qizhou!

"This sword technique..." Wei Feng was in a daze. Ren Qianqian's father was a sword master, but even so, he had never seen his master perform such an astonishing sword technique.

The clear and brilliant moon on this battlefield in the west of the city was so eye-catching. When the dreamlike moon disappeared, everyone gradually came back to their senses, suddenly realizing they were still in battle, still on the battlefield!

But when the soldiers pulled back their bows, they all froze.

There were no monsters left within the shooting range of several hundred meters in front of the city wall?!

All that remained on the ground were the mangled and broken bodies of the monsters!

And blood was spilled everywhere like it had been splashed around!

With one sword, he had cleared nearly a mile of monsters!

The once chaotic battlefield, filled with monstrous howls and shrieks, suddenly fell silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard!

Not only were the soldiers on the city wall stunned, but the monsters preparing to charge from afar were also shocked, their unstoppable momentum suddenly halted.

The many monsters looked at each other in confusion.

Among them were powerful monster leaders at the Spirit Wanderer level, the same level as the Tiger Robe Immortal.

But at this moment, fear and shock were evident in their eyes.

The young figure standing alone, suspended on the city wall, casually holding his sword, looked like an unparalleled sword immortal standing there.

Untouchable!

Li Hao glanced at the frozen monsters, and without saying a word, he threw the sword out, using his spirit to control it.

The flying sword turned and shot out like golden light, instantly taking the lives of more than a dozen monsters.

At this moment, the frozen horde finally snapped back to reality, all screaming and fleeing in all directions. The massive offensive had collapsed in an instant, vanishing without a trace!

The soldiers on the city wall were all dumbfounded, staring in shock at the back of this young man.

That figure would remain etched in their hearts for the next twenty years, impossible to forget.

The flying sword sliced through the air like a golden needle, rapidly killing many monsters, including the powerful ones in the horde trying to hide and escape. But Li Hao noticed them too; with a flash of the sword, he severed their heads and destroyed their souls.

In front of him, the powerful monsters and ordinary ones seemed no different; they all fell with a single strike!

This scene left Wei Feng on the city wall stunned.

Even if he acted personally, he could never match Li Hao's might. The speed of the flying sword was so fast, it was at least two or three times quicker than his!

He immediately thought of the dragon monster shot down by the dark light, it was just like that.

Was this... the senior they had bowed to on the way here?

What kind of monster was Li Fu escorting?!!
