The dazzling sword light seemed to slice through space as a golden Sword Veil materialized in front of Jiang Taie to block the strike. However, the sword tore through the veil, forcing Jiang Taie to retreat violently and narrowly avoid the sword light.
Jiang Taie... retreated.
*The Li Mountain disciples were shaken to their core.* Li Fan had used the same sword technique that had killed Chu Zili to push Jiang Taie back—a feat that had never occurred during the battle between Lu Yuan and Jiang Taie, where Jiang Taie hadn't taken a single step backwards.
*Lu Yuan hadn't even been able to approach Jiang Taie.*
*Every gaze directed at Li Fan now carried a different emotion.*
*The once-forgotten Li Fan, known only for his ties to his senior brother and sister, living under Ye Qinghuang's protection, now stood before them as someone reborn from the ashes of adversity.*
*Jiang Taie, who had once suppressed the Li Mountain disciples into despair, was now challenged.*
