Demon Sword Immortal

He actually managed to leave the sword embryo!

The cicada demon, seeing this, gritted its teeth in hatred, controlled Chai Xuan's body, and staggered towards them.

Thus, in the dark cave, a remnant ghost and a demon with a human-like appearance were approaching, as if the legends of gods and ghosts had come to life in reality, which would probably terrify an ordinary person.

Not to mention that Bai Xiang was still injured at the time, and his combat strength was not as good as before.

Faced with the threat, Bai Xiang only did two things.

the first.

She ripped open the front pocket of her vest, poured out a handful of pills, and stuffed them all into her mouth.

second.

She crouched down, her palm covered with an invisible twist, and forcefully pierced through the corpse belonging to Ao Lin at her feet, pulling out a white jade short sword from the disintegrating flesh.

Chapter Seventy-Two: Transformation of Qi

Jade Phoenix Sword!

When Bai tried to swallow the medicine, neither of the two monsters showed any expression.

But when she got her hands on the white jade dagger, both of them suddenly changed their expressions and lunged at her at full speed!

really.

Seeing this, Bai Xiang knew that she had made the right bet again.

Admittedly, these two cunning creatures are so treacherous and difficult to guard against, but she certainly wouldn't believe that the treacherous and vicious Chai father and daughter never judged others by their own standards.

They might not have anticipated the monk's remnant soul, but the cicada demon was a blatant threat, and Chai Jingyuan and Chai Xuan could not possibly entrust it with their complete trust!

They must have a backup plan to deal with the cicada demon! And there's a good chance that this backup plan can protect their soul and prevent the demon from possessing their body!

That can only be it!

Jade Phoenix Sword!

Holding the white jade short sword in his hand, Bai Xiang immediately felt a warm current flowing from his palm into his heart.

In less than half a breath, the warm current had circulated throughout her body via the Great Circulation. Wherever it flowed, it appeared to be coated with a layer of white jade-like luster, and the wounds began to heal rapidly.

As expected of a 'healing treasure', its efficiency is even greater than she had imagined!

With the first breath, the energy of the Jade Phoenix Sword flowed like a gentle stream.

But with each breath she took, this power would multiply, until by the fourth breath it was like a mighty river, violently crashing into her body!

Nourished by the Jade Phoenix Sword, the scale of the Heart Flow also began to surge.

Bai Xiang stared intently at the two charging monsters, forcibly using his divine soul ability to control his stomach and intestines to digest the pills, and continued—forcibly controlling his body to begin absorbing the medicinal power!

This is something only she could do!

It exists only in theory and will inevitably cause serious harm to the body!

Under normal circumstances, Bai Xiang would never dare to do that, but with the Jade Phoenix Sword in hand, knowing that her injuries could be repaired at any time, and with the threat of a powerful enemy, she really couldn't care less about anything else!

Three to one...

Three to two...

The progress of Qi transformation is still limited by drug resistance, but she just keeps pushing the dosage up!

By damaging the heart and even all the organs in the body, and then repairing them with the Jade Phoenix Sword, the speed is gradually increased!

[Amitabha……]

The monk's remnant soul was the first to approach. He leisurely chanted a Buddhist mantra again, and his entire body, like a transparent kasaya, rushed close to Bai Xiang and wrapped her up. It was as if the spirit behind him had attached itself to her!

But not entirely.

If you look closely, there is a white light barrier between the remnant soul phantom and Bai Xiang's body. It is formed by the soft light emanating from the Jade Phoenix Sword, like a close-fitting gauze garment covering Bai Xiang, protecting her from any harm to her soul.

The next moment, the cicada demon also controlled Chai Xuan's physical body to pounce on Bai Xiang.

"Drop the sword!" She grabbed the iron sword in Bai Xiang's right hand and shouted urgently, "The Jade Phoenix Sword can indeed nourish the body and soul, but at the cost of life force!"

"Is that so..." Bai Xiang suppressed the intertwined pain within her body and sneered, "Are you afraid that I will drain your own life force and affect your future development by taking over my future?"

“You—” The cicada demon’s pupils contracted slightly, then she quickly put on a bitter smile.

"I was trying to help you out of kindness!"

"That's right! I admit that this process requires temporarily possessing your body! But that's only to prevent you from being possessed by the bald monk!"

"You are a descendant of Bai Muying! Bai Muying saved my life! I would rather kill everyone in the world than harm you!"

"I don't believe it," Bai Xiang said, looking at her intently, each word distinct.

The cicada demon was first taken aback, then her expression twisted uncontrollably.

What a troublesome little thing...

If it weren't for your exceptional physical talent, which makes you so perfectly suited to my lineage, I would never have kept you alive until now!

Just as she was about to exert her strength and forcibly break Bai Xiang's limbs, the cicada demon's expression changed again.

what……

Why did the light on the Jade Phoenix Sword go out?

The soft white light surrounding Bai Xiang gradually dimmed. Upon seeing this, the monk's remnant soul perked up and began chanting Buddhist scriptures in a low voice. Like smoke, the remnant soul broke through the soft light and enveloped Bai Xiang, already drilling into her seven orifices.

We can't let that bald monk Daokong get there first!

Such a perfect body, if he gets it, what will happen!

Seeing this, the cicada demon panicked and controlled Chai Xuan to open her mouth, from which a golden light shot out, directly breaking through the soft light defense and entering Bai Xiang's brow.

Two spiritual wills simultaneously descended upon Bai Xiang's inner world, staring at her heart with covetous intent, yet also feeling immense apprehension at the other's existence.

"Amitabha."

The monks formed their physical forms within the inner vision and bowed to the golden light.

"Past grudges and debts are settled in the past life."

"Little Cicada, if you are willing to help me achieve enlightenment, I can swear that I will definitely give you your freedom afterward."

"Pah!" The golden light condensed into the outline of a cicada demon. "I, your ancestor, will not fall for this trick a second time!"

"So, we're going to have to fight?"

"There's no such broken sword here to help you! Come on, are you afraid of me?"

The atmosphere was tense on both sides, and they were about to start a fight when they suddenly trembled and turned their heads to glance at Bai Xiang's heart again.

The seed of the heart, emitting white light, had manifested into the shape of Bai Xiang at some point, and even the tight-fitting battle suit had changed perfectly, except that its appearance had turned white.

"impossible!"

The monk finally lost control of his expression.

"You haven't even forged a sword, how could you possibly nurture a 'divine embryo'?"

Although the cicada demon had no expression, the frequency of its wing tremors indicated that it had also been severely impacted.

"You don't actually think the Jade Phoenix Sword's shield is protecting me, do you...?"

With his will descending upon the inner landscape, Bai Xiang coldly observed the two guests, relying on his divine soul abilities.

If you use this trick on one person, the other person will realize how powerful it is and won't come after you.

She was just waiting for an opportunity to let the enemy in at the same time.

Realizing something was wrong, the monk and the cicada demon turned into two beams of divine light, attempting to escape from there.

But it was too late.

As Bai Xiang's mind stirred, the soft light of the Jade Phoenix Sword mixed with her powerful mental flow, pouring in like a raging tsunami from countless gaps in her heart meridians. The first wave alone swept the two divine lights into the tide.

"what……!"

"No…!"

The divine light only managed to let out a scream before it abruptly stopped, flowing directly into the heart stream and transforming into a vast and pure divine soul energy that was poured into the pure white body of 'Bai Xiang'.

Suddenly!

Her progress in transforming Qi began to skyrocket!

It jumped from a mere 66% to 97%-98%, and is about to undergo a complete transformation!

Outside, in the dark cave, Bai Xiang's body suddenly released an invisible ripple.

The unconscious Chai Xuan... the wreckage on the ground... the rubble, all the obstacles and debris... even the Jade Phoenix Sword! were all swept away by the ripples.

This invisible energy even condensed and did not dissipate, making her appear to be sitting upright in the void, floating up.

Bai Xiang's physical body had lost consciousness, but he naturally sat cross-legged in a lotus position with his eyes closed and his white hair gently swaying.

Not far away, Chai Jingyuan's remains, the broken wooden sword stuck in its eye socket, and the Zhenyuan sword embryo in its hand floated up as if guided, one after the other, and swept to Bai Xiang's front, starting to rotate around her.

suddenly.

The invisible distortion that enveloped Bai Xiang disappeared.

The hair fell down, the strange phenomenon disappeared, and the two swords crashed to the ground.

But her body did not fall; instead, it remained suspended in mid-air.

It was as if another force—a force more advanced than the invisible distortion, a force that had undergone a complete qualitative change—was supporting her.

This is the end.

Success.

Opening his eyes, Bai Xiang stretched out his leg and stepped onto the ground. The first thing he did was to sweep out an invisible Qi sword, which pierced into Chai Xuan's head and blew it apart.

"So this is Qi..."

She looked down at her palm, savoring the sensation.

It is far more refined and sharper than the intangible, twisted, and condensed form.

The new energy that emerges from the unique human gifts of mind-body connection, heart-pulse connection, and heart-flow connection is also linked to mind-body connection.

It can be said that the stronger one's mental will, the more unstoppable the Qi's strikes become.

She looked down at the wooden sword and sword blank on the ground and murmured, "What they have in common... is that they both drank my blood?"

Thinking back, although its soul had been devoured, the thousand-year-old egg case of the 'Surprising Cicada' was still there ahead...

Bai Xiang raised his hand and used his Qi to lift the wooden sword. He grabbed the hilt and gently stroked the broken blade.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Rarely, a gentle expression appeared on her face.

"Don't worry."

"I'll give you a complete makeover right away."

Chapter Seventy-Three: Deep Schemes

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the dark cave, Bai Xiang sat alone in the void, with a forging table, furnace and a full set of tools in front of him. The furnace contained the 'Zhenyuan' sword blank, which was burning fiercely in the high-temperature furnace.

These tools and utensils were all readily available. She guessed that they were either brought in by the Chai family father and daughter, or they were found here and refurbished by hand. In any case, they were all prepared for Chai Xuan, but now they all benefited her.

"The sword-making method recorded in the 'Startling Cicada' scroll requires that the sword blank be heated and softened before the next step can begin."

Staring at the long strip in the furnace, Bai Xiang couldn't help but frown slightly.

What materials were used to forge this 'Zhenyuan' sword blank? It's been roasted for three days and it's still not ready.

The only consolation is that starting this morning, there has finally been a trend of it being refined. If this progress can be maintained, the sword should be completed today.

Forging a sword blank is a rough and laborious task, at least for this one. Bai Xiang looked after it by the furnace for a while, then stopped waiting, finished his cultivation, landed on the ground, and glanced up at the sky.

This was the same cave that Chai Xuan had entered earlier, and its interior was even larger than the cave where the battle had taken place. Not only were there sword-making tools and forging implements, but there was also a deep pool of water in one corner, which, upon testing, was confirmed to be flowing water.
