Fairy, please don't do this!

He was about to answer when he saw a tall, slender figure, holding a rusty iron sword, approaching at an extremely fast speed.

With a swing of the rusty sword, the bone demon didn't even have time to struggle before it instantly shattered into countless bone dust particles that fluttered down.

The disciples: "..."

The air froze!

The smile on the chubby senior brother's face froze.

Who is this amazing person?

He didn't even use his spiritual power; he simply used that rusty sword to shatter the Bone Demon.

"As expected of a semi-divine artifact!"

Gu Jinzhao muttered something to himself and charged straight towards the demonic tide.

That was just a test of his sword skills; after all, back in the True Yang Sword Palace, Li Chimo and the other two never gave him that opportunity.

The female disciple with a slightly chubby face couldn't help but ask, "Senior brother, didn't you say that the Bone Demon has a powerful physical body?"

"That senior brother didn't even use his spiritual power, yet he still managed to kill it..."

The chubby senior brother's lips twitched, and he tried to save face: "Maybe he's a body cultivator who follows the path of martial arts."

Although the Qingyun Sect mainly cultivates swordsmanship, it also has body cultivation, though it is extremely rare.

"Is that right?"

"nature!"

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Jinzhao, who had rushed into the demonic tide, saw the "rusty sword" in his hand suddenly burst into crimson light, like the sun rising into the sky, instantly annihilating countless demons and clearing a path.

Without further delay, he headed straight for the second floor.

Looking at that retreating figure, the dozen or so newly initiated disciples all had somewhat strange expressions.

What happened to the promised body cultivation?

How could you use sword techniques?

The chubby senior brother almost couldn't hold back: "Perhaps it's dual cultivation of divine and martial arts!"

He suspected that Gu Jinzhao was a master of both divine and martial arts, but he didn't suspect that the rusty sword in his hand was a semi-divine artifact.

Of course, no one could have imagined that the semi-divine artifact would look so sloppy.

This is why Gu Jinzhao dared to swagger into the Demon Suppression Tower with the Crimson Sky Sword.

Having lost its edge, [Crimson Sky] will not cause any unusual phenomena even when infused with spiritual power, thus embodying the meaning of "simple and unadorned".

……

For a whole month, Gu Jinzhao honed his True Yang Sword Technique inside the Demon Suppression Tower.

With the annotations and insights from the tradition, coupled with practical experience, progress is naturally rapid.

During this time, the relationship between the calico cat and Yu Fengzhi also grew closer.

Night falls inside the cave.

The candlelight flickered, and the aroma of wine filled the air.

"This Drunken Immortal Wine... is indeed extraordinary."

Yu Fengzhi's high, full breasts rested on the table, her soft hands supporting her smooth chin, and her cheeks were flushed with a charming blush.

Her gaze was no longer as languid as before, but rather like spring water after the frost had melted, rippling with an unusual haziness.

The crimson robe clung to her curvaceous figure, the front slightly open, revealing a patch of porcelain-white skin below her collarbone.

Seeing her like this, Gu Jinchao said softly, "Uncle-Master, you're drunk!"

"I'm not drunk, you're the one who's drunk." Yu Fengzhi glanced at him and muttered, "When you used to watch the moon with me, you called me 'sweetie'."

"Now the newcomers are surpassing the old ones, yet they call me 'Uncle-Master'!"

Still saying you're not drunk?

Lines from A Chinese Odyssey started popping up.

Gu Jinzhao rolled his eyes, somewhat amused, and said, "What newcomers are there?"

Isn't she your junior sister?

"She has a striking appearance and is very charming."

"Even I, a woman myself, couldn't help but feel pity for her when I saw it."

Yu Fengzhi leaned on his shoulder, looking at him with a resentful expression.

Her already rosy lips were stained with wine, glistening with moisture, and she would occasionally lick them with her soft, fragrant tongue.

The aroma of wine lingered around his nose, and looking at his uncle's captivating appearance, Gu Jinzhao couldn't help but feel a little restless.

But that's normal!

After all, he cultivates the True Yang Sword Technique, which requires him to temper his soul and burn his heart with pure Yang fire every day, so his fiery energy is naturally stronger.

Yu Fengzhi adopted the demeanor of a domineering wife and coldly interrogated, "Confess and you will be treated leniently. What exactly is your relationship with your junior sister?"

Gu Jinzhao waved his hand: "We're just ordinary senior and junior brothers and sisters!"

The calico cat poked its head out of the wine jar and complained, "They were hugging each other."

Gu Jinzhao said expressionlessly, "You're drunk too."

"I...I'm not drunk!" The calico cat, tipsy, raised its little paw and slammed it on the table: "You stinky monkey who seduced my sister-in-law."

A cat even cosplayed as the Bull Demon King, but why does it feel so out of place?

Gu Jinzhao's lips twitched slightly.

However, this is not the fault of the calico cat, after all, even cultivators can get drunk from this Drunken Immortal Wine.

Of course, this was something he did on purpose.

Because he is going to enter the sixth level of the Demon Suppression Tower tonight...

Chapter 23, From now on, you will be my destined one!

"You stinky monkey, where do you think you're going? Watch out..."

The drunken calico cat roared arrogantly, then plopped down on the table and fell fast asleep.

Just as Gu Jinzhao was wondering when Yu Fengzhi would get drunk, he saw her suddenly draw her sword from her waist and slam it on the table: "Draw your sword!"

Gu Jinzhao was both amused and exasperated: "Why are you drawing your sword?"

Yu Fengzhi glared at him with displeasure: "Just pull it out when I tell you to! Stop talking so much nonsense!"

Gu Jinzhao had no choice but to do as he was told.

"bass--"

With a soft hum, the three-foot-long sword was drawn, its blade adorned with flowing fire lotus patterns, brimming with spiritual energy.

Although it is not as high-grade as the [Crimson Sky] sword, it is still a rare and top-quality spiritual sword.

Upon seeing this, Yu Fengzhi was first taken aback, then she put her arm around his shoulder, squinted her hazy, drunken eyes, and said with a smile, "From now on, you will be my beloved!"

Just a moment ago she was Princess Iron Fan, and in the blink of an eye she has become Fairy Zixia?

Two soft mounds pressed against him, and the fragrance of wine wafted over him. Gu Jinchao subconsciously moved to the side: "Uncle-Master, you're really drunk."

Yu Fengzhi glanced at him, then pulled him close again: "This sword is called 'Red Lotus'. I obtained it in a secret realm. It was left behind by an ancient fairy of the mortal world."

"The Fairy of the Mortal World?"

Gu Jinzhao raised an eyebrow.

This fairy originated from the Path of Destiny and cultivated the art of cause and effect.

This sword carries a destiny of marriage; any woman who obtains it will find her destined partner is the one who can draw it.

When he first played the game, he thought this sword was similar to the Purple and Green Sword. He never expected that it would fall into Yu Fengzhi's hands and be drawn by him!

Yu Fengzhi did not actually obtain this sword in the game.

Could it be that the difficulty increased after the restart, which is why the [Crimson Lotus Sword] appeared, thereby shortening the time to defeat the master?

That damn planner really deserves to die... Gu Jinchao couldn't help but curse in his heart.

"My destiny is hidden within the Crimson Lotus Sword..."

Yu Fengzhi mumbled something in a daze, then collapsed onto the table with a thud, unconscious.

Gu Jinzhao rubbed his throbbing temples.

Sure enough, these five lines of fate had long been entangled with him, and there was no way to avoid them.

"Forget it, now is not the time to dwell on these things."

He cleared his mind of the chaotic thoughts, took a deep breath, and got up to leave the cave.

The most urgent task at hand is to rescue An Wanxi, who is currently sealed away, and obtain the "Six Elements True Demon Technique" from her to quickly improve our strength.

The Demon Suppression Tower was much quieter late at night.

Upon seeing Gu Jinzhao, the monsters inside the tower immediately showed fear and wished they had more legs, scattering and fleeing in all directions.

For the past two weeks, that figure wielding a rusty sword has become their nightmare.

From the first to the fifth floor, anyone who encounters him will either die or be maimed.

The second layer of Bloodfang Demons had all their fangs pulled out.

The third level is the Blue-Eyed Demon, whose eyes are completely blind.

The fourth level Black Feather Demon had its feathers burned away.

The fifth floor...

"It seems the 'cleaning' has been quite effective during this period."

Gu Jinchao smiled slightly and moved like the wind, heading straight for the sixth floor.

He made thorough preparations for tonight's operation.

The first step is to clear away obstacles along the way, making them fear you.

For this, he once used the [Crimson Sky] to cut from the first floor to the fifth floor, and then from the fifth floor back to the first floor, without even blinking.

Although there are no regular enemies on the sixth floor, there is a troublesome boss.

As soon as Gu Jinzhao stepped in, the ground beneath his feet cracked and split open, with dark demonic patterns spreading out like living things.

The surrounding area was filled with demonic energy, black mist swirled, and the air was thick and sticky, as if soaked in blood.

The entire space seemed to be distorted by an invisible force, and every step felt like stepping on rotting flesh.

He walked among countless blood-red bronze mirrors, finally stopping in front of the largest one.

The reflection in the mirror showed him surrounded by demonic energy, his handsome face exuding a sinister charm.

Gu Jinzhao examined it carefully for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "The demonized me is quite unique."

"You're absolutely right!"

The "Gu Jinzhao" in the mirror grinned and actually stepped out of the mirror!

[Mirror Demon] is the boss of the sixth floor.

As its name suggests, its ability is to copy everything about its opponent.

In addition, the Mirror Demon has a buff bonus in the sixth level.

Facing an enhanced version of yourself is indeed a bit tricky.

This is precisely why Xie Hongchen, the senior disciple of the Qingyun Sect, stopped here.

Gu Jinzhao lightly twirled his sword and looked at the Mirror Demon: "Where is your sword?"

"Ha...as you wish!"

The Mirror Demon sneered, and a rusty sword suddenly appeared in his hand.
