Fairy, I'm going to control you tightly!

The person who appeared was none other than Wang Tianyun.

After the disciples of the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect finished eliminating the demonic beasts, they all withdrew.

Only Wang Tianyun remained in place, like Xiao Jingxi and Bai Jie, secretly lying in wait, preparing for an ambush.

Unexpectedly, three reckless individuals actually came straight to this place.

Upon seeing that it was Wang Tianyun, the three dark figures were all startled, and then realized that something was wrong.

"A true disciple of the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect? What are you doing here? And what did you just say about 'Little Sword Immortal'...?"

The leading figure in black frowned.

A person's name, a tree's shadow.

The title "Little Sword Immortal of the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect" is certainly not something to be trifled with.

"Indeed. She saw through your scheme just from your description and caught the three of you red-handed in no time. Ha."

Wang Tianyun's words were laced with sarcasm, yet also with a touch of melancholy.

His impression of Xiao Jingxi changed considerably after this trip, as if he were getting to know this junior sister he had always admired for the first time.

So this little sword immortal is such an intelligent and decisive person?

His earlier statement, "It's a pity you ran into the Little Sword Immortal," was truly from the bottom of his heart.

If this junior sister hadn't seen through them at a glance, these three guys might have continued to cause trouble for a while longer.

only……

The deeper Wang Tianyun's understanding became, the more she felt...

Perhaps I need to reconsider my feelings.

I have a feeling that if I were to become Daoist partners with this junior sister in the future, I would find it difficult to hide anything from her. If I were to make a mistake, I might be tricked and manipulated by her, and she could play me to death...

Thinking of this, Wang Tianyun couldn't help but shudder.

I'm a little hesitant and not quite sure. I'll think about it later.

The three dark figures, now fully exposed, ceased their disguise.

After removing their black clothes, the three revealed themselves.

Their appearances were exactly those of the city lord, steward, and servants in the city lord's mansion.

However, those faces were stiff as death, expressionless, which seemed extremely incongruous.

"Boy, let me give you a piece of advice. Right now, you have no clues or evidence, and your cultivation is insufficient. If you really fight, you'll only be courting death. If we kill you, we can easily escape and it will be difficult to track us down."

At this point, the leading figure in black shifted his gaze.

"Why don't you leave now? We'll all leave this place too. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the pressure of the Nascent Soul stage erupted from his body.

Before Wang Tianyun could respond, a sword's cry suddenly rang out.

Xiao Jingxi has arrived.

At this moment, Xiao Jingxi kept Ji Nanbei's instructions firmly in mind, uttered not a single unnecessary word, and showed no intention of holding back.

As soon as he appeared, his figure fell into the arena like a shooting star. A jade sword was drawn with a clang, and the "Ethereal Sword Technique" was activated at full power. With the sword thrust out, the sword sang a clear and resonant sound as spiritual energy was poured into it!

This sword strike was as graceful as a startled swan, seemingly light and agile, but in reality, it was extremely fast.

The sharp blade sliced ​​through the air, aiming straight for the head of the Nascent Soul stage city lord!

Upon seeing this sword strike, the city lord paled in horror, only three words remaining in his mind:

Can't stop!

No longer caring about anything else, he focused all his demonic power on himself, his demonic energy bursting forth and converging in front of him, intending to withstand the attack head-on.

However, the demonic energy of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator was so fragile in the face of Xiao Jingxi's sword strike that it was instantly shattered.

The city lord tried desperately to dodge, but was still struck by a sword, leaving a deep, bone-revealing gash on his chest.

After retreating several steps, the city lord could no longer maintain his disguise; his human skin slipped off, revealing his true appearance.

It turned out to be a white-furred ape demon, clearly belonging to the demon race, but its form was not yet fully formed and it still needed to use human skin to cover itself.

At this moment, the white ape demon was filled with horror.

What kind of monster is this?!

It was at the Nascent Soul stage, while the opponent was only at the Golden Core stage. The difference between them should have been enormous, as they were separated by a whole realm!

Why is it that when this sword strikes, it seems to be the one whose cultivation level is a level lower?!

He couldn't even withstand a single move and was seriously injured on the spot?!

"Wait! We can talk this over! There are..."

The white ape demon wanted to say that there was a Blood Refining Array set up here, and it could activate the array, at which point everyone would find it difficult to escape.

However, before he could finish speaking, Xiao Jingxi had already transformed into a sword light and approached him, delivering another sword strike.

The power of this sword strike was even more terrifying than the previous one!

This scene stunned everyone present.

No one expected that Xiao Jingxi would be so ruthless and decisive at this moment, not even allowing him to finish speaking.

This white ape demon was truly unlucky—if it were Ji Nanbei, he might have let it say a few more words.

Unfortunately, it's Xiao Jingxi himself right now.

At this moment, Xiao Jingxi had only one thought in her mind: Ji Nanbei instructed her to kill him on the spot, without uttering a single unnecessary word!

"A madman! A complete madman!"

The white ape demon roared and retreated continuously, even beginning to burn its own life essence to desperately resist.

Cultivators rely on their Qi and blood as a foundation, and use spiritual energy to build their structures.

For the demon race, blood and vital energy are especially important.

Burning one's blood essence damages one's foundation in exchange for a temporary increase in strength.

However, even with the burning of blood energy, Xiao Jingxi's sword still managed to sever one of the white ape demon's arms.

Do you really think this is just Xiao Jingxi, who is usually timid and seems cute?

This is the "Little Sword Immortal" who suppressed his contemporaries, possessed unparalleled swordsmanship, and won the championship in the righteous path!

At this moment, Wang Tianyun and Bai Jie finally came to their senses and both made their move.

It wasn't that they reacted slowly; it was simply that Xiao Jingxi acted too quickly and decisively.

That fierce demeanor was almost terrifying.

They had already surrounded the three, eager to see Xiao Jingxi's attitude—whether it would be interrogation or something else. Now, however, there was no need to even ask; Xiao Jingxi's attitude was as clear as it could be.

No need for further words, just execute him!

The two men drew their swords simultaneously, one with a fierce and powerful strike, the other with a light and agile movement, attacking the other two men who were still disguised.

The two were weaker than the White Ape Demon, with only the Golden Core Realm cultivation. Under the suppression of the two true disciples of the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect, they were also struggling to hold their own.

Seeing that he was at his wit's end, the white ape demon's eyes turned bloodshot.

"If you want me dead, you won't have it easy either!"

The last remaining claw manipulated the magic seal.

Suddenly, a burst of bloody light filled the surrounding area.

A blood-red array emerged from the ground.

This is the Blood Refining Array set up here by the three demons, specifically designed to absorb the blood essence of the fallen demons and cultivators in this area.

They originally used this formation to cultivate their blood energy, but now, having reached their dead end, they are about to detonate the formation in an attempt to perish together!

The Seventh Elder, who was observing from the shadows, also frowned slightly.

He had witnessed everything that had happened. As he had said before, his disciples were to handle any unexpected events themselves, and he would not interfere.

As he watched along the way, the Seventh Elder couldn't help but marvel at the performance of his little sword immortal.

What a shrewd and astute decision!

To be honest, even he didn't realize anything was wrong at first.

The Blood Refining Array was buried very deep and only passively absorbed blood energy, so it was indeed hidden when it was not activated.

The Seventh Elder thought to himself that if it were him, he would probably have overlooked this detail as well.

Looking at the subsequent response, the Seventh Elder was almost bursting with admiration.

Such skillful use of one's own strength, such efficiency in action...

The Seventh Elder was truly amazed.

At this moment, the Blood Refining Array was activated, intending to self-destruct, and the Seventh Elder was also ready to make his move.
