"Interesting." Chai Jingyuan indeed revealed a cold smile. "Admittedly, killing you would be troublesome, but that was done by Yi Tianzhi, the Right Protector of the Southern Route of the Demon Immortal Path. What does it have to do with me, Chai Jingyuan, who has retired to my hometown?"

"Once this matter is settled, the world will only know that my son fought his way through the encirclement of the demons and rose like the sun to become the new leader."

“Your deaths will indeed enrage the spirits, but the demons have squandered all the power of the south here. Aren’t they furious?”

Holding the sword blank, Chai Jingyuan pressed closer step by step, laughing as he said, "At that time, the two sides will fight each other fiercely again. If the war escalates, even Liang Qiusheng may die. How can anyone continue to pay attention to the truth here?"

So even the identity of Yi Tianzhi is something to be discarded?

Finished!

Zhao Xu then fully understood his plan and realized that the Chai family father and daughter would never leave any survivors.

Despair welled up within him, but instead, a fierce courage surged forth. He first pinched Xiao Ming with his left hand as a reminder, and the next moment he gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands, shouting, "Kill—!" His entire body was instantly enveloped in a layer of tiger-like blood aura, and his angry eyes and bared teeth made him look like a fierce tiger in disguise. He leaped towards the enemy and swung his sword downwards.

"Qiang!"

Chai Jingyuan easily blocked him with a simple block, and while dealing with Zhao Xu's subsequent attack, he reminded him: "I advise you to turn around and take a look at what your 'young lady' is up to."

Zhao Xu couldn't help but glance at it out of the corner of his eye.

At that one glance, his body froze and he stood still for a second before letting out a roar.

"Liang Wanming!"

"What are you doing???"

The panicked girl had already run more than ten steps away and was using her hands and feet to try to climb up the high cave. Upon hearing this, she immediately shuddered and fell to the ground with a thud.

She scrambled to her feet and saw Zhao Xu's shocked and disappointed face. She hurriedly explained, "This...I thought you were trying to buy me some time..."

"Hahahaha—!" Upon seeing this, Chai Jingyuan couldn't help but throw his head back and burst into laughter.

"Eight years ago, Liang Qiusheng was ambushed on the summit of Yuhua Mountain. He fought to the death and refused to surrender. In one fell swoop, he transformed into a form and condensed a purple pill, killing countless demons. His reputation was unparalleled for a time! Who would have thought that he would have such a useless daughter!"

"I can't compare to him in terms of spiritual cultivation, but when it comes to teaching my daughter, he's not even worthy of carrying my shoes!"

With his eyes wide open in anger, Chai Jingyuan gripped the sword blank with both hands and raised it high in front of Zhao Xu.

I'll take pity on you and end your suffering!

The sword blade sliced ​​through the air, about to strike Zhao Xu's forehead.

Zhao Xu's expression was numb, showing no intention of resisting. But Chai Jingyuan suddenly felt a sense of danger and changed his sword technique midway through, the blade twisting with his wrist to stab towards his left armpit, where it met a dark wooden sword!

White hair?

Turning around quickly, he vaguely saw that the sword was being held by a white-haired girl. Chai Jingyuan reflexively exclaimed, "You're dreaming!?"

His answer was Bai Xiang's sword.

The wooden sword was caught, and a slit was instantly cut into the blade. Bai Xiang exerted force with his wrist to create a vibration, and in a way that Chai Jingyuan could not understand, he deflected the blade of the sword blank and slashed diagonally toward his throat.

What kind of swordsmanship is this?

Chai Jingyuan was shocked and retreated rapidly to regain his balance, but for a moment he forgot that Zhao Xu was standing next to him.

"You old thief!" Zhao Xu was startled awake by the commotion of the fight around him. Seeing Bai Xiang forcefully pushing back Chai Jingyuan, he rushed forward without hesitation: "Give me back Master Liang's orders—"

Bastard!

Chai Jingyuan cursed inwardly.

Zhao Xu alone would be easy to deal with, but this is wishful thinking!

What kind of sword is she using...?

From the sudden sneak attack to the ensuing melee, Bai Xiang remained silent. He simply pressed forward relentlessly, his wooden sword piercing Chai Jingyuan's vital points from various cunning angles.

Whenever Chai Jingyuan tried to raise his sword to block, relying on the scarlet demonic energy gathered on the blade to cut the wooden sword in half, the wooden sword would always vibrate vaguely in the air, like a nimble 'black fish', and suddenly appear before him.

This vibration not only had the effect of visual illusion and dodging attacks, but sometimes when Chai Jingyuan was mentally prepared, the wooden sword would become rigid and just withstand the continuous vibration of the sword blank, causing his entire arm to tremble. Luckily, he was not hit by Zhao Xu!

What is that... what is that?!

Dealing with two completely different battles at the same time made Chai Jingyuan increasingly frustrated, and he felt that he couldn't take it anymore!

"Roar!"

Once again parrying the two swords, Chai Jingyuan let out a beastly roar.

A burst of crimson demonic energy erupted, transforming into a shockwave that blasted Zhao Xu away. Chai Jingyuan's hair and beard danced wildly in the demonic energy storm, his robes ripped, his muscles bulged, and his body, joints, and limbs instantly doubled in length and became considerably thicker!

"Qiang!"

With a casual gesture, he drew his own sword. The "demon" Chai Jingyuan noticed that Bai Xiang was still rooted to the spot and refused to retreat. His eyes narrowed into a ferocious glare, and he stomped on the ground, crushing it. He then used both hands and two swords to simultaneously cover the blind spots around her.

Danger!

Zhao Xu stared wide-eyed, almost unable to bear watching the scene below.

However, the next second, his reluctance turned into astonishment. He just stared blankly at Bai Xiang... watching her not only not raise her sword to block and slash, but instead straighten her legs and raise her sword.

you……?

Chai Jingyuan also realized that the situation had changed and wanted to temporarily stop, following his habitual approach of seeking stability, but it was already too late.

Less than half a meter away from his demonic form, in the darkness, the girl's white hair swayed, and an invisible ripple instantly emanated from the sword, directly drilling into his eardrum.

Buzz—~~~!

not good!

The resonant sound filled his ears, and Chai Jingyuan's vision went black.

Although it only lasted a moment, it was a life-or-death struggle!

A huge panic suddenly struck. Chai Jingyuan subconsciously raised his hand to shield his face, but he still felt something sharp pierce his chest and churn violently inside!

puff!

At the same time, he swung down with both swords, and the blade in his right hand seemed to have struck something.

"boom!"

He kicked him in the chest, and Bai tried to draw his sword and create distance.

"Heh...heh...heh..."

Both were panting heavily, frozen in place.

On the left side of Chai Jingyuan's demonic chest, she stabbed a large hole, from which blood and bits of flesh gushed out and pooled on the ground.

Meanwhile, Bai Xiang noticed a crack appearing on 'Black Water Serpent MAX's' shoulder, as the belt of her vest had been severed, and blood was seeping out.

We won...?

Both Zhao Xu and Xiao Ming were shocked and then overjoyed when they saw this scene.

The left side of the chest is the heart...?

Is this a win?

Zhao Xu was grinning when suddenly his vision blurred—the demonized Chai Jingyuan appeared in front of him in an instant.

Before you can react, the world spins around you.

All that could be seen was Chai Jingyuan sheathing his sword and a headless corpse.

"boom!"

After severing Zhao Xu's head with a single sword stroke, Chai Jingyuan slowly turned around and stared at Bai Xiang with his demonic, crimson eyes.

"You have a secret."

He wanted to say something, word by word.

"But it does not matter."

"I have one too!"

After saying that, he rushed to Bai Xiang's side, wielding his two swords in alternating moves, and continued to fight her in a new round!

As expected, he was a genuine, head-on combat-oriented, level-three demon, not on the same level as a 'mage' like Lü Ran.

Facing the oncoming storm, Bai Xiang felt such immense pressure for the first time.

Just now, relying on the Divine Cry Sword that she had comprehended the essence of, she could indeed take a shortcut and avoid facing Chai Jingyuan head-on most of the time.

But back then, Zhao Xu was there to help her share the burden!

The two of them, with two swords, were at a huge advantage against Chai Jingyuan, who only had one sword. They had even managed to inflict no injury on him despite the ambush. And now that she was alone, Chai Jingyuan had an extra sword!

"Qiang!"

"Crack!"

Once again forced to fight back against the two swords, Bai tried to use the wooden sword to protect his face, but in the next moment he saw a piece of the wooden sword's blade fly off and pierce his eye like a dart.

"boom!"

The two were jolted apart again, and Bai Xiang's breathing became even more labored.

She had a cut on her left eyebrow, and a trail of blood immediately flowed down her face.

Chai Jingyuan stared intently at her without saying a word. His distorted demonic form gradually lowered his center of gravity, and he raised his swords diagonally towards her, like two cages enveloping her.

This sword is nearing its limit...

Without even looking, Bai Xiang knew that the cloud-patterned wooden sword must be covered with crisscrossing notches.

Without the proper cultivation of Qi, simply relying on 30% of the invisible distortion to envelop it is not enough to truly defy fate and change one's destiny.

The gap between herself and her enemy was almost greater than the gap between herself and Huang Qian—after all, it was impossible for Huang Qian to move freely even after having his left chest pierced, and her hidden killing move failed!

The situation was almost certain to end, but Bai Xiang became increasingly calm.

bleed……

pain……

nervous……

fear……

Negative emotions, like nightmares, tried to invade her mind, but her will remained steadfast and unmoved, even finding them laughable.

Anyway, things can't get any worse...

Compared to being a useless person lying in bed watching others show off their bravery, bleeding... is the blessing of my rebirth!

At the same time, Chai Jingyuan and Bai Xiang began to dive towards each other.

The two sides moved faster and faster! Until they collided in the cave, becoming afterimages!

Slow motion... Chai Jingyuan used his left hand to block Bai Xiang's thrust with his sword, while his right hand slashed at her shoulder.

The wooden sword and the iron sword made contact in mid-air, and the invisible distortion suddenly blurred for a moment, connecting to Chai Jingyuan's blade and wrist, causing him to pause slightly.

boom!

The frail figure was instantly thrown back!

"rustle……"

Bai Xiang's body tumbled in mid-air, and he lowered his center of gravity to land steadily. His thigh was cut open again, and blood seeped out from the gap in his battle suit.

Chai Jingyuan's demonic appearance froze on the spot. His left hand, which should have been covering his face, held the sword blade in front of his chest, and Bai Xiang's wooden sword was clearly stuck in his left eye socket.

"Why……"

With his only remaining right eye glaring at Bai Xiang, Chai Jingyuan struggled to move his lips.

"Because of the Chaoyuan Huaqi Jing".

Bai tried to steady himself and calm his breathing.

"I'm just betting that this is your hole card."

"Controlling the output... the key to surviving a heart attack is the transplanted tissue."

"It seems I made the right bet."

"Ah……"

Chai Jingyuan's pupils contracted sharply. He tried to open his mouth to say something, but the light in his eyes began to fade.

boom!
