The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 452 Suppressing the Enemy

Looking at the immortal sword slashing towards him, Li Jingxiao's first thought was that the attack methods used by Taiyi Zhenren didn't seem to be much more powerful than those of Shiji.

With a thought, a sharp sword aura appeared out of thin air in front of Li Jingxiao.

He slashed swiftly at the incoming immortal sword.

With a loud clang, it easily blocked Taiyi Zhenren's attack.

It even knocked him back more than ten meters.

Taiyi Zhenren and Chijingzi were astonished by what they saw.

As the person directly involved, Taiyi Zhenren was best able to appreciate the sharpness and power of this sword energy.

He thought to himself, "This guy surnamed Li is actually a sword cultivator with such high swordsmanship."

Then think about it: none of those who practice swordsmanship are easy to get along with.

Even among those of the same level, sword cultivators often possess the strongest attack power.

My vigilance immediately increased.

But Li Jingxiao didn't have time to let Taiyi Zhenren think so much, and another illusory flying sword made of sword energy appeared.

It also splits into two, two into four, and four into hundreds of flying swords.

Like a torrential downpour, it roared towards Taiyi Zhenren.

If it weren't for the consideration of Yuanshi Tianzun, then ten thousand flying swords would have slashed down.

But there were only a few thousand flying swords formed from sword energy.

This had already put Taiyi Zhenren in a somewhat flustered state.

He continuously swung the immortal sword in his right hand, slashing at the flying swords that attacked him.

Fairy Caiyun and Shiji, who were watching from the sidelines, watched as their man easily overpowered True Man Taiyi.

I was so excited, and my smile was incredibly bright.

He thought to himself, "These Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect are nothing special after all."

Even a casual move from her own husband, before he even got serious, was almost too much for her to handle.

Chi Jingzi's expression turned ugly.

I thought that even if Junior Brother Taiyi's cultivation was inferior to that of the person in front of him, he could still rely on the Taoist methods and sword techniques taught and imparted by our teacher, Yuanshi Tianzun.

They should be able to fight to a standstill no matter what.

But the truth is, they were completely overwhelmed by this Taoist priest.

The thought that Taiyi Zhenren was at a similar level to himself made Chi Jingzi's face darken even more.

Instinctively, he reached into his sleeve and grasped the Yin-Yang Mirror.

Li Jingxiao soon discovered that Taiyi Zhenren had probably given most of his magical treasures to Nezha, who was only three years old at birth.

Therefore, he only had a celestial sword, a special file for ambushing people, and the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover at this moment.

The Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover will only be passed on to Nezha after the Investiture of the Gods is completed.

Moreover, it seems that this old man has never had any special protective artifacts.

This shows how arrogant the old man was.

Otherwise, one would have the Universe Ring and the Hunyuan Ribbon, although they are not specifically designed for self-protection.

However, he wouldn't have been so badly beaten by Li Jingxiao's flying sword.

Seeing that he was no match for Li Jingxiao in swordsmanship, Taiyi Zhenren hardened his heart.

The Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover suddenly appeared in the air and instantly transformed into a huge, exquisite pagoda that was more than ten stories high.

Li Jingxiao suppressed it.

Moreover, the nine divine dragons inside the tower suddenly came to life and transformed into fire dragons.

It roared and spat out countless Samadhi Fires.

Unfortunately, in Li Jingxiao's eyes, the Samadhi True Fire was nothing special.

He can inhale countless Samadhi Fires directly into his stomach simply by opening his mouth.

Li Jingxiao saw through the true nature of the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover.

Before Taiyi Zhenren, Chijingzi, Caiyun Xianzi, and Shiji Niangniang could exclaim in surprise.

Extend your left hand and grab at the air with your palm.

The enormous pagoda, towering over ten stories high, shrank in the blink of an eye and was caught in Li Jingxiao's grasp. Then it vanished without a trace.

Fairy Caiyun and Shiji were overjoyed, while True Man Taiyi and Chijingzi were greatly alarmed.

They assumed that Li Jingxiao had used some powerful supernatural ability to forcibly subdue the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover.

Little did they know that Li Jingxiao relied on the 'Diamond Bracelet' on his left wrist.

Moreover, the long sleeves deliberately covered the vajra pendant on the wrist, which led to the misunderstanding.

Taiyi Zhenren watched helplessly as his most powerful treasure was taken away.

While shouting "Give me back my baby!", he threw it away.

A streak of dark light flashed by, and Li Jingxiao waved his hand, unleashing the "Hidden Universe in Sleeves" technique.

The sleeve instantly transformed into a pocket in the wind.

He tucked the dark light into his sleeve, but Li Jingxiao then grabbed it in his hand.

This time, Li Jingxiao truly did not use the Vajra Bracelet.

Instead, he actually used his hidden power to take away the 'precious file' that Master Taiyi had specifically used for sneak attacks.

It is clear that the power of this 'precious file' is actually just so-so.

At the same time, Li Jingxiao had cultivated the art of concealing his inner world within his sleeve to an extremely profound level.

It shouldn't be weaker than when Zhen Yuanzi used it in the Journey to the West world.

However, in the eyes of Taiyi Zhenren and Chijingzi, this move of "Hidden Universe in the Sleeve" was the same move that had just taken away the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover.

They were probably taken away by this supernatural power as well.

Of the three magical treasures that Taiyi Zhenren possessed, Li Jingxiao easily took two of them.

Suddenly, they lost all reliance and confidence to continue the competition.

He could only admit defeat and put away his immortal sword, bowing deeply to Li Jingxiao.

"Fellow Daoist's supernatural powers are astonishing, I am truly in awe. Please, for the sake of my master, return the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover to me."

Li Jingxiao immediately understood that the old man was decisively choosing one of the two options.

As long as the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover is returned to him, the treasure file will be considered a hidden arrow used to harm someone, and a price that must be paid after losing the battle.

Li Jingxiao couldn't help but give the old man a thumbs up in his heart.

Such decisiveness is truly rare.

Moreover, he understood the principle of paying the price even after losing, which explains why he was the first among the Twelve Golden Immortals to escape the calamity.

No wonder he was able to kill Shi Ji without hesitation as soon as he found an opportunity.

However, the game's inventory has a bug-like attribute.

Those were the items that Li Jingxiao had put into his inventory, as if they had been placed into another world.

It directly severed the connection between the magical artifact and its owner.

Li Jingxiao doesn't yet know whether even a saint-level expert wouldn't be able to sense the treasures in their inventory.

However, in the Journey to the West world, Laozi mentioned to Golden Horn and Silver Horn that anything that comes into Li Jingxiao's hands is safe.

This means that even he, as the master, couldn't take things from Li Jingxiao.

Li Jingxiao didn't know if what he said was true or false.

It's also impossible to determine whether the Three Pure Ones and the six saints—Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti—in the Investiture of the Gods world are the same as Laozi in Journey to the West.

There's really no way to retrieve the item from your inventory.

But one thing is absolutely certain: Taiyi Zhenren truly could no longer sense the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and the Treasure File.

Coupled with her decisive personality, she directly chose one of the two options.

He gave the precious file to Li Jingxiao as a trophy.

However, after thinking it over, Li Jingxiao decided to return both treasures to Taiyi Zhenren.

But just as he was about to take it out, he suddenly saw out of the corner of his eye that Chi Jingzi reached into his sleeve.

I immediately guessed that this guy must be holding the Yin-Yang Mirror.

If you don't return it, they'll probably use the Yin-Yang Mirror to ambush you.
