I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 334 Controlling Swords with Swords (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Jiang Yi slowly approached the Bamboo Swordsman. The Bamboo Swordsman slightly raised his head, and a gaze from behind his mask fell upon him. There was no killing intent or resistance, only doubt.

He is like a blank sheet of paper, waiting for Jiang Yi to write his story.

“Zhaoming, this is the name my master gave you. Now that you have transformed into a demon, I may need to establish a cultivation contract with you first. How about you cultivate with us from now on? There are many demon spirits like you in Youxian Ferry. Everyone is very friendly. I can also teach you swordsmanship.”

"If you ever want to see the world on your own someday, you can tell me and I will let you go. But for now, you'd better stay and learn how to survive in this cultivation world."

Perhaps he still harbored a trace of the bamboo swordsman's will within him, and because he inherently recognized Jiang Yi, he did not resist, bowed his head to Jiang Yi, and awaited the contract.

Once the contract was signed, Jiang Yi and Zhao Ming suddenly felt a greater sense of familiarity and closeness.

"I don't know if I need to refine it again with my essence blood and alchemical fire."

Jiang Yi muttered softly.

"That's strange, why haven't you said anything? Can't you speak?"

Zhaoming raised his hand and touched the mask on his face. The mask was one with him; he had no organs to make a sound.

As a swordsman, killing is all that matters; there's no need for words.

Jiang Yi nodded. This was good. Now that everyone had taken human form, she could foresee how noisy Youxian Ferry would be in the future. With one less person talking, there would be more peace and quiet.

She also needs to practice the silencing spell.

"Stay like this for now, don't change back. I'll find you a friend."

Jiang Yi turned his head and shouted "Yao Ling" at the Sword Tomb Mountain in the sky. Immediately, a fiery red sword light flew over.

Previously, the Yaoling Sword was acting on her orders, and it was almost completely corrupted by demonic energy. Now, the sword light is not as bright as before, and there is still a lot of demonic energy remaining on the sword.

Jiang Yi raised her hand and grasped the Yaoling Sword. Zhao Ming's previously empty and lifeless eyes brightened slightly when he saw the Yaoling Sword, and he stared at it intently.

Yao Ling Sword was unaware that the boy beside it was a sword in disguise. Its blade rang incessantly, as if telling Jiang Yi about its grievances.

The foul demonic energy swirling around the sword's spine writhed like a living thing, and Jiang Yi vaguely heard Nightmare's maniacal laughter again.

"You're lucky this time. Even the Heavenly Punishment couldn't destroy my Demon Lord, so you can forget about destroying me. As long as I'm alive, I'll send you back to the Demon Lord sooner or later."

Jiang Yi lightly stroked the blade with his fingertips, then suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"I've tolerated you for a long time!"

Before he finished speaking, a wisp of silver flame suddenly burst forth from Jiang Yi's fingertips.

The Bright Mirror Heart Fire poured down like moonlight, instantly enveloping the sword. The demonic energy on the sword was instantly cleansed, and the Nightmare's shriek exploded from inside the sword.

"No—what is this?! How dare you—"

The Yaoling Sword emitted a clear and melodious sound, and its crimson sword energy erupted with a roar. With the combination of the Mirror Heart Fire and the power of Heavenly Punishment, the demonic seed of Nightmare was destroyed with ease.

The light of the Yaoling Sword remained as clear as ever, without any gloom.

Jiang Yi flicked the sword tip with her finger. "Come on, let me introduce you to a new friend. You don't get along with Hua Gu and the others, so you can play with Zhao Ming from now on."

As he spoke, Jiang Yi handed the Yaoling Sword towards Zhaoming.

Only then did Yaoling Sword notice the bamboo swordsman standing quietly to the side, and the tip of the sword tilted in confusion.

It clearly sensed a kindred spirit emanating from this tattered swordsman. Was he a sword? Or a demon spirit?

The bamboo swordsman's eyes were bright as he reached out and grasped the hilt of his sword.

Yaoling Sword: Hmm? This kid really is a sword incarnation!

The blade of the Yaoling Sword trembled violently, and crimson sword energy burst forth like a cat with its fur standing on end.

You've been keeping other swords behind my back!

Just as Yao Ling Sword was about to launch an attack, a warm and moist aura of Yi Wood suddenly seeped from Zhao Ming's palm. The aura was like a spring stream flowing over scorched earth. Yao Ling Sword froze, and its tip trembled slightly.

The crimson sword energy was like a wild beast being stroked, and the sword's cry changed from furious to a comfortable hum.

Wood fuels fire, this energy ignites the sword, let's do it again and again!

The Yaoling Sword actually nuzzled against Zhaoming's palm, like a cat begging for a pat. "Looks like I don't need to be the peacemaker?" Jiang Yi crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.

Before he could finish speaking, Yao Ling Sword suddenly grabbed the Bamboo Swordsman's wrist and slashed it through the air.

boom!
The old tree ten feet away exploded into a fireball, and the bamboo swordsman was pulled half a step back, his eyes widening slightly.

He instinctively wanted to loosen his grip on the sword hilt, but Jiang Yi stopped him, saying, "Don't resist, it's guiding you in your moves, try to follow your instincts."

As the second sword slashed out diagonally, the bamboo swordsman's taut knuckles suddenly relaxed.

The fiery intensity of the Yaoling Sword and the cool aura of Zhaoming intertwined, and the Yaoling Sword carried Zhaoming as they danced faster and faster through the forest.

With his swordsmanship honed to perfection, Zhaoming made rapid progress in swordsmanship. In just a few moves, he precisely guided the ferocity of the Yaoling Sword into a raging inferno, while his clumsy sword techniques became increasingly sharp with the help of the fire phoenix.

"To let the sword use the sword, I am truly brilliant!"

With her current lineup in the Immortal Crossing, she could easily defeat a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

With her demon spirits being so powerful, she can now rest easy in the back and act as a healer, achieving the ultimate in laziness!
At this moment, Zhaoming suddenly thrust the Yaoling Sword into the ground, instantly turning the area within a radius of thirty feet into a sea of ​​fire.

Amidst the raging flames, several giant, jade-like bamboo phantoms rose up, with lava-like fire phoenix patterns flowing between the bamboo joints.

Jiang Yi's eyes widened instantly. "Good heavens, isn't this the prototype of Zhaoming's Ten Thousand Bamboo Sword Formation, fused with the fire phoenix power of Yaoling Sword? You two have practiced the combined attack technique I just figured out ahead of time!"

Jiang Yi clapped her hands, signaling them to look over.

"Alright, stop destroying the house. We'll let you two have some fun outside later."

The Yaoling Sword stopped, and the sword, in a human-like manner, tapped Zhaoming's shoulder twice with its hilt, producing a clear ringing sound, as if saying, "Brother, you're pretty good. Follow me from now on, and I'll take you to new heights."

Having perfectly resolved the family dispute, Jiang Yi was in high spirits. She instructed Yao Ling Sword to take Zhao Ming to Sword Tomb Mountain, to the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sea Formation, to comprehend the sword energy and sword intent within the sea of ​​sword energy clouds.

With Zhaoming's talent, even if he can't learn swordsmanship above the Earth Rank, he will surely become a swordsmanship master below the Earth Rank.

Everything was fine inside Youxian Ferry, and Jiang Yi took a look at the situation outside.

After she fell into a deep sleep, Xuan Hui unleashed his speed and had already sent her back to Yunzhan Pass.

At the beach, Xuan Hui clutched his sleeve, looking like he was about to cry.

“Your Excellency, when I brought her out of the demonic tide, she was still alive and kicking. I don’t know how she suddenly fainted and I couldn’t wake her up.”

Danxi squatted on the flat reef, supporting Jiang Yi's upper body, and carefully examined her physical condition by holding her wrist.

Jiang Yi had no defenses against Dan Xi, so the invisible energy did not resist Dan Xi's approach.

At this moment, Jiang Yi's tribulation caused a surge of demonic tide, but once the tribulation was over, the demonic tide quickly receded, seemingly severely weakened and unlikely to regroup into a tide in a short time.

"Stop whining, you'll make things worse even if there's nothing wrong with you."

Upon hearing Danxi's words, Xuanhui trembled, his lips quivering. His lord had actually been harsh with him; he was heartbroken.

"Master..."

Jiang Yi woke up, and Danxi finally felt relieved.

"Master, please don't blame the Demon Lord. It's because of my cultivation technique. I couldn't control myself at the time, so I fell asleep... and passed out."

Jiang Yi felt sorry for Xuan Hui, so she spoke up for him.

Xuan Hui nodded vigorously, looking at Dan Xi expectantly. That's exactly right.

Danxi softened her tone, indicating that she didn't mean to blame Xuanhui; it was all Xuanhui's overthinking.

Jiang Yi looked around to make sure no one was there, then sat up and said, "Master, I have a question. If a demon spirit only transforms halfway into human form, is there any way to remedy the situation?"

As she spoke, Jiang Yi pulled Hong Li out of Youxian Ferry.

Danxi's eyes lit up the moment she saw Hongli.
