Chapter 422 Iron Sword God Nun
"Iron Sword Goddess! You've committed a crime! Come out now and face your death!"

The iron crane soared into the sky, its cries echoing for miles under the vibrations of millennia of Dao power. Its earth-shattering power was so astonishing that it immediately forced two Nascent Soul cultivators who were refining treasures in the temple to come out and greet it.

"This humble nun, Ciyun, was unaware of the arrival of the venerable immortal. I have failed to greet you properly. Please take a seat..."

Tie Dan sat on the crane's back, not bothering to bow, and coldly glanced at it.

The two people were dressed as a nun and a scholar in blue robes. They quickly realized that the trio was missing one person who was in Suiyang to oversee the tribulation and hadn't yet joined the party.

But as long as the main character is there, the other minor characters don't really matter.

"You idiot! How dare you, you demonic cultivator, spout such nonsense!"

He cursed loudly on behalf of He Tong.

"The sun and moon shine brightly! The sky is clear and the earth is bright! It's still daylight, and you two remnants of your carefree ways are already fooling around! Bah! Disgusting!"

The scholar was shocked and exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

"What?! The Unfettered Demonic Path! I'm not! I didn't! I didn't even touch him! You can't just slander me out of thin air!"

Ciyun was startled at first, then looked at the silent mountain man on the crane's back. He saw that the man was expressionless, but his starry eyes shone like sword light, and he knew that his thousand-year-old enemy had finally arrived.

However, this Iron Sword Nun was a woman of principle. Knowing that she had been outmaneuvered by the mountain man and that her magic weapon was not yet complete, she was now in a dead end. She decided to fight to the death, so she let her hair down, drew an iron sword from her sleeve, and pointed it at Iron Egg.
"You treacherous villain from the Demonic Sect! I am the true disciple of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect! The sect leader of the Carefree Dragon Riding Palace! If you want my life, take it with your sword!"

Scholar Emma Holy crap!

"Ah! So you're the carefree demonic cultivator! Holy crap! Could it be that you not only coveted my treasure, but also lusted after my body, plotting against me! I almost got devoured by you! It's none of my business! I'm leaving! Farewell!"

The scholar turned and ran away, transforming into a streak of green light. Ciyun didn't even glance at him, focusing her Daoist and sword-wielding heart directly on the hermit in front of her.

The crane turned its head to look.

Tie Dan, "Bring him here."

"Kougua——!"

With a flap of its wings, the crane chased after the blue light.

So Ciyun and Tiedan, the first match begins!
"Ah ah--!"

Ci Yun was well aware that at first glance, they were both Nascent Soul disciples with a thousand years of cultivation, but in reality, the difference in their strength was as vast as the difference between a firefly and the moon. If he didn't use his full strength in the first move, he might not have a chance to use any of his skills in his entire life.

With a roar, he leaped into the air and thrust his sword forward! He unleashed the Nine Heavens True Technique right from the start! A supreme killing move! He aimed straight for the Cloud-Riding Escape Technique! The sword pierced the space between his brows!
To be honest, that was a very good sword strike—fast and sharp.

In this life-or-death situation, this sword strike of light can be said to have demonstrated the ultimate skill and mastery of Ciyun's lifelong learning. Its speed, sharpness, and accuracy truly deserve the title of the Xuan Nu's true teachings.

Unfortunately, I only saw Tie Dan in my dream.

"Wow!"

With a single sword strike, Tie Dan was shattered into a pile of broken ice shards.

"What! Xuanming clone! Ice Stream afterimage!"
"How could it be so fast! No way! It can't be faster than the Cloud Riding Technique!"

What she said wasn't wrong. The Cloud Escape technique had disappeared, and one could escape without even a casting time, so it was naturally the fastest way to do so.

However, Tie Dan had read the strategy guide beforehand and naturally knew that this nun had this trump card, so he was prepared in advance.

"Is the Free and Unfettered Demonic Sect limited to this?"

A cold male voice came from behind Ci Yun's neck, instantly sending a chill down Ci Yun's spine and making his hair stand on end! He immediately roared "Ah—!" and swung his iron sword horizontally with a backhand strike! The sword wind swirled wildly! It sliced ​​the person behind him into a shower of ice shards!
What?! It's still an afterimage!

"I've heard that the disciples of the Carefree Sect love to summon celestial demons to make peace with them. Shout, shout loudly, summon all your celestial demon companions to save you!"

Once again, a cold voice came from above, like a sharp awl piercing straight to the heart.

"Aaaaaah—! The Nine Heavens Clouds Flash!!"

Ci Yun vanished in a flash, displaying the ultimate power of the Cloud-Riding Escape technique! His Qi transformed into nine afterimages, fleeing in all directions! His speed was so great that even if one were to seize the escape light and relentlessly pursue just one of them, it would likely be unable to escape. Moreover, since his Qi was divided into nine parts, even a moment's hesitation or wavering would allow him to vanish without a trace!

"Nine Heavens, huh? That move is somewhat interesting... Ice River Transformation!"

However, Tie Dan also let out a long roar, and his Dharma form transformed into a divine being!

Suddenly, the sky darkened! A fierce, biting wind swept across the land! Ice rivers stood tall, ice and snow drifted down, and dark clouds descended! It was an ice storm, with ice drifting for miles, blotting out the sun, pressing down directly on Ciyun Temple!
Excellent! The Xuanming Xuanji Ice River Escape Technique has been refined to its ultimate level, and now the Xuanming Xuanji Ice River has taken human form!

Did you really think he was sleeping soundly while sitting in the mountains for sixty years?
When the nine energies return to one, all laws unite with the Dao, and the body transforms into Tai Chi!

Just one step away! On the verge of enlightenment and breakthrough, the Great Transformation Taiji Dao Ancestor was awakened! But True Monarch Xuantian had already stepped into the Taiji Dao Domain!

At this moment, Tie Dan, with his millennia-old Dao power and supreme divine abilities, transformed into the Arctic ice wind! His body became the Guixu Snowstorm! His Dao transformed into the Xuanming Ice River!

It summoned a deluge of icy winds, hail, and snow, transforming them into countless gigantic ice hands! Its divine power soared to immense heights! It overwhelmed the heavens and the earth! Its oppressive force descended!
It's overwhelming, obscuring the sun and clouds, leaving you nowhere to run! It forces you into a corner with nowhere to escape!
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!”

"what--!"

Unexpectedly, the Nine Heavens Immortal Lord's true teachings, the ultimate cloud-riding escape technique, the supreme and invincible escape skill, Nine Heavens Extreme Cloud Flash, was actually broken!

Ciyun was slammed down from the escape light by a palm strike, engulfed in boundless ice and snow. Her feet were instantly shattered and trapped in the ice. Her robes were torn to shreds by the biting wind, leaving her tattered and her monk's robes ripped. She coughed up blood, exposing large patches of her soft, jade-like skin, which were covered with a thick layer of frost. The ice climbed up her thighs and spread towards her lower abdomen, as if an icy claw was holding her firmly in its grasp.

With a flash of icy light, Tie Dan slowly walked out from the biting cold wind and icy aura, his gaze sweeping through the ice crystals and directly onto Ci Yun's body.
"As I expected, the Xiaoyao Dao is most adept at absorbing the Qi of others and nourishing themselves in return."

Although the Nine Heavens Extreme Cloud Flash technique is stunning, it consumes too much true energy. Since you have not yet reached the Divine Transformation stage, you will inevitably have to borrow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even steal my Dao power.

Unfortunately, I had already seen through this trick and preemptively spread the Xuanming Ice Breath throughout the world.

How about it? This profound and extreme ice energy entering your body, reversing the flow of energy through your meridians, feeling like ice spikes piercing your bones and a chilling current attacking your heart—not bad, right?

At this moment, Ciyun had been frozen into half an ice sculpture, his mouth and nose were frozen, his breath produced frost, and his eyebrows and hair were covered with a layer of snow. He had clearly been seriously injured by a single blow.

Now that things had come to this, she knew she had no way out, and could only grit her teeth and spit out...
"Demonic path! Kill me or torture me! Come at me!"

Tie Dan stopped in his tracks, his gaze sharpening.
"Killing you would be as easy as turning my hand, but you're still useful now, so I'll give you a special chance. Hurry up and summon a celestial demon to take a look."

Ciyun gave a bitter, sorrowful laugh.

"Do you think that just because someone is a member of the Free and Unfettered Sect, you can bully and torture them at will! Kill me if you want, I'd rather bite my tongue off and sever my meridians than submit my chastity to you!"

Tie Dan was also getting impatient.

"I'll say it again, I don't want your body, I don't want your life, I just want you to summon a celestial demon to come down and take a look!"
"The technique you're practicing is simply summoning celestial demons! What's so difficult about that? Summon them quickly!"

Ciyun closed her eyes, turned her head,
"Since you're going to kill me anyway, why should I do as you please!"

Tie Dan darted forward, grabbed her face, and turned her around, his eyes flashing with malice.
"I'll say it one last time: either you summon the Heavenly Demon yourself, or I'll spare your lives, master and disciple."

Either I'll skin you alive, open your brain, and you can find what you want yourself.

If I can't find you, I'll chase after your entire Xiaoyao lineage and slaughter my way through. Let's see who can stop me!
select!"

Upon hearing the words 'master and disciple', Ciyun opened her eyes, bit her lip, and glared angrily at Tiedan for a while before saying, "...Fine."

Now that she had given in, Tie Dan stopped pressuring her. He loosened his grip, waved his sleeve, and collected all the icy currents, indicating that she should begin her performance.

Although the icy energy had completely melted away, Ciyun was still severely injured, with fractured bones and her lower legs crushed into bloody pulp. Her entire body was soaked through by the thawing Xuanming icy energy, her tattered monk's robes clinging tightly to her waist, revealing glimpses of her flesh beneath. Her ample breasts, barely concealed, trembled slightly in the cold wind, her pitiful, pained expression a sight to behold.

Tie Dan was impatient.

"Stop dawdling, hurry up!"

Forced by this ruthless man, Ciyun had no choice but to sigh inwardly at the injustice. "In the world of martial arts, one is often powerless to change one's fate. I shall submit today." So she silently shed tears, took off her tattered monk's robe, and looked at him with tears welling up in her eyes...

Iron Egg,

"what?"

Seeing that this scoundrel actually wanted her to say it herself, Ciyun was filled with shame and anger, and had no choice but to bow down and prostrate herself.
"This method requires first achieving harmony and bliss, then letting the soul fly out to the highest heavens, where the howling and chanting will attract the celestial demons down..."

I would like to offer you my pillow and books, please cherish them…

Tie Dan understood, and frowned.
"So troublesome, tsk, after all, it's the Way of the Carefree... Then wait a moment, I'll go and bring that scholar here."

"no!"

Upon hearing that this guy was not only pressuring her like this, but also wanted to stand by and watch even after things had come to this, Ciyun felt both ashamed and angry. Suppressing her anger, she said...
"The method of the primordial spirit must be practiced with utmost caution and secrecy; it is a true secret manual! How can there be so many idle people watching from the sidelines!"

Besides, I've never even tried the method of summoning the Heavenly Demon! If something goes wrong, and my Dao body is seized by the Heavenly Demon, I'll surely be annihilated!
"If you really want to see the Heavenly Demon, then cultivate with me and let your primordial spirit leave your body! I will personally guide you to the summit of the Nine Heavens to see it!"

Tie Dan sneered.

"You've got a clever plan, even taking me out of my body with you. What if you lure the Heavenly Demon into my body and take the opportunity to harm my primordial spirit? Wouldn't I be caught off guard and capsize in the middle of it all?"

Ciyun was so angry she almost cried when she heard this.

"I was just practicing asceticism by the lamp, but didn't you insist on letting the demons come knocking on my door? Who are you calling a ditch!"

Tie Dan didn't believe her. He just kept calculating good and bad fortune. After all, he knew how risky it was for his soul to leave his body and how dangerous the extraterrestrial demons were. This risk wasn't just his life, but at least ten chances for all living beings. How could he not be cautious?

"Alright, bring me the Daoist scriptures of the Xiaoyao lineage."

Ci Yun was taken aback.
"You...you want to learn?"

Tie Dan was impatient.

"Nonsense, how am I supposed to fly to the top of the nine heavens if I don't learn?"

Ciyun blushed.
"Well, it's not like you have to learn it to... Wait, don't you consider my Free and Unfettered Sect to be a demonic path, and strictly forbid your disciples from teaching me demonic arts?"

Tie Dan doesn't care.
“I am not a disciple, but the sect leader.”

"Hmph, you're just a Nascent Soul cultivator, yet you dare to..."

Ciyun suddenly paused,
"Wait, which mountain's leader?"

Tie Dan impatiently tossed the sect leader's jade token to her.

"I am Xuan Tian of the Beichen Sword Sect of Jiuyin Mountain. If you hand over the Daoist scriptures of the Xiaoyao Pulse and help me obtain the Observation of the Heavenly Demon, I will spare your life. A word spoken is a word kept."

Ciyun stared blankly at the jade pendant.

"The Sword Sect's leader, the head of the Nine Luminaries Sword Pavilion, why doesn't he use sword qi...?"

Tie Dan chuckled.

"With your meager skills, you think you're worthy of my sword qi?"

Ciyun was lost in thought for a moment, muttering to herself.

"The Sword Sect... it's actually the Sword Sect's leader... well, that's not entirely impossible..."

"Kougua——!"

Just then, a crane cried out from the horizon. Looking into the distance, it was the thousand-year-old crane that had captured the scholar who had been there for a hundred years, flying back.

Tie Dan had no intention of wasting time with her anymore.

"This won't work, that won't work. Whatever you want, then let's use this person to summon a celestial demon..."

"no, do not want!"

Ciyun was shocked and rushed forward to hug Tiedan's leg.
"I'm willing! I'm willing! I'm willing to offer up the entire Daoist canon to the sect leader! Please accept me!"

Tie Dan was startled by her reaction, thinking she was about to launch a sneak attack. He almost slapped her on the head, but then he saw her pink lips part slightly, her cherry mouth open, and her fragrant tongue curl up. The jade cicada that she spat out was still dispelled when his palm reached in front of him. He plucked the moist and crystal-clear jade cicada from the tip of her tongue.

Ciyun opened her eyes wide, gently rubbed her cheek against Tiedan's thigh, and sighed softly.

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, my Xiaoyao lineage is a single-lineage tradition. My master's primordial spirit resides in this jade, and the Xiaoyao Chengyunque inheritance method is also within it. Once the nascent soul leaves the body, it can enter the jade to transmit the method."

However, my daughter is of dull talent. Despite a hundred years of arduous cultivation, she has never fully mastered the Daoist Canon of Freedom. Therefore, she has not yet sent her master to be reincarnated.

Today, the sect leader has spoken with his golden words, giving my master and me a way out. How could I, a mere girl, dare to conceal anything?

"I am willing to offer up all the true teachings of the Chengyunque sect, only asking to serve under the sect leader and seek a place of refuge and protection."

Tie Dan was baffled.

Why did your expression suddenly change? Weren't you being very assertive just now?

Ciyun spoke softly and gently.

"Sect Leader, you may not know this, but the Nine Yin Sword Sect was originally part of my Dragon Gate lineage. However, back then, they colluded with Tiger Gate to plot against us and caused the downfall of my Xiaoyao Sect."

We, the disciples of the Free and Unfettered Sect, have long sworn an oath: whoever can slaughter the entire Sword Sect will be honored as the Free and Unfettered Immortal Lord of the Nine Heavens!

I had long heard that the Sword Master of Xuantian was a young and promising man with unparalleled sword power, who slaughtered the entire Sword Sect and was truly a rare talent in a thousand years! However, he was in seclusion in the mountains and I had never had the chance to meet him.

You have slaughtered all the traitors of my sect and have voluntarily revived my carefree path, serving at your feet. This is truly my lifelong wish! Please accept this, Master!

Tie Dan was suspicious and cautious. He calculated that what the other party said seemed reasonable, but he still issued a warning.

"Even if you spout nonsense, it won't help. Once I've fully comprehended the Dao of Freedom, I will ascend to the highest heavens and capture the Heavenly Demon. Don't even think about escaping."

Ciyun did a push-up, puffing out her chest, brimming with confidence and displaying a determined posture.

"Yes, Master! This humble servant will do everything in my power to help you reach the pinnacle of the heavens!"
