Ch 333: Battling The Sword Immortal
But just as the Demon Fox approached Xiao Wenxin, a shocking Saber Intent instantly permeated the Golden Light surrounding Xiao Wenxin!
Puchi!
The charging Demon Fox was instantly shattered by the Haoyue Envoy’s Saber Intent.
The Demon Fox’s entire body seemed to be engulfed in a whirlwind, instantly torn apart, with blood mist filling the sky.
In an instant, the change in this scene caused all the Demon Foxes to scream, they watched Xiao Wenxin vigilantly, never expecting this human to have such a powerful thing around them.
For a time, numerous Demon Foxes did not dare to come forward.
Seeing a delicious piece of meat in front of them, yet unable to eat it, this made them anxious, but they were unwilling to leave, circling around Xiao Wenxin.
“Eh.”
Seeing this, Xiao Wenxin also felt relieved.
He never imagined that the Haoyue Envoy’s circle was so powerful.
“Come over and bite me, will you?”
Xiao Wenxin even provoked the numerous Demon Foxes.
Night fell.
Li Hanzhou had been advancing for a long time on the Third Level, encountering many demonic beasts along the way, but the strongest demonic beasts on this Third Level were only at the Profound Connection Realm, posing no threat to Li Hanzhou.
However, similarly, Li Hanzhou did not find the King of Northern Qi’s figure.
He did, however, discover some traces of trainee disciples.
The number was small, and those who could train on the Third Level were basically the best of the best.
Originally, Li Hanzhou wanted to see Yun Qianzhu, but he never encountered her. He even suspected that this little girl had already rushed to the Fourth Level.
The night was as thick as ink spilled all over the mountain. Li Hanzhou had just found a place to rest.
However, at this moment, a warning arose in Li Hanzhou’s heart.
The withered tree he was leaning against suddenly exploded with a spiderweb-like pattern of ice cracks. A cold blade, only three inches from his throat, the blade edge swirling with moonlight, illuminated the frost on his neck.
Li Hanzhou moved instantly, the ice crystals bursting from the Cold Sparrow sword sheath simultaneously repelled them both.
Using the recoil, Li Hanzhou smashed the ice curtain behind him, countless ice crystals refracting a Milky Way-like brilliance under the moonlight.
The Haoyue Envoy casually swung a saber, the torrential moonlight melting the ice crystals into silver liquid, the pine forest on half a mountaintop instantly ignited with a pale cold fire.
When the saber light appeared again, the entire night sky seemed to be torn in half. Li Hanzhou met the blow head-on with his sword, the ice phoenix phantom condensed on his sword let out a mournful cry. The rock layer beneath his feet collapsed!
Using the Nine Stars of the Imperfect Steps, Li Hanzhou instantly distanced himself from the Haoyue Envoy, but Li Hanzhou’s expression turned serious, his arms trembling. In that flash of lightning, Li Hanzhou sensed the other party’s strength.
“Saber Immortal…”
The opponent was a genuine Saber Immortal.
“A mere Seventh Rank Martial Artist, yet you can exchange blows with me for several moves. I was right,” the Haoyue Envoy looked at Li Hanzhou, further confirming their thoughts.
“Nine Stars of the Imperfect Steps Method.”
“Impersonating the Son of the Prince, but actually Li Hanzhou of the Longevity Temple?” The Haoyue Envoy said with a smile, “Interesting. I asked Master for the Reincarnation Disk many times before, but Master never gave it to me. Now, I’ve gotten it without any effort. I encountered it today, so I’ll gladly accept it.”
“A person from the Dao Annihilation Sect?”
Hearing the word “Master,” Li Hanzhou understood the other party’s identity.
He calmed down: “You are the Haoyue Envoy of the Dao Annihilation Sect, right?”
“It seems Lu Song from the Longevity Temple told you.” The Haoyue Envoy showed no surprise.
“Alright, I won’t waste time with you.” The Haoyue Envoy smiled, “If I capture you, Master will be very happy, won’t they?”
“Capture me?”
Li Hanzhou frowned, “What is the Dao Annihilation Sect’s purpose in this Extreme Domain?”
“You talk too much.”
The Haoyue Envoy stepped in the air, each step causing the Moon Wheel phantom to tremble. The crescent moon above their head suddenly poured down silver liquid, transforming into nine powerful demonic beasts upon landing. Chains were wrapped around the demonic beasts, and the moonlight chains instantly pierced through seven ice pillars.
The nine demonic beasts roared fiercely, as if they had been enslaved.
“Nine Demon Venerables?”
Li Hanzhou finally understood that he was ambushed by demonic beasts when he arrived on the Third Level, it must have been arranged by the Haoyue Envoy.
“Capture him.”
The Haoyue Envoy said indifferently.
As soon as the words fell, the nine Demon Venerables attacked, instantly forming a battle formation.
Li Hanzhou retreated violently, his sword art becoming even more fierce. The Cold Sparrow Sword suddenly flew out, swirling, causing a ten-zhang radius to be filled with snowflakes. The snowflakes that touched the moonlight chains made a sound like gold and iron clashing, and the movements of the nine Demon Venerables slowed down visibly.
“Indeed, some skill.”
A chill flashed in the Haoyue Envoy’s eyes, the arc of the blade ignited all the snowflakes.
Wind and snow swept in, along with the fierce attacks of the nine Demon Venerables.
Li Hanzhou no longer bothered to pretend, since his identity had been exposed, he immediately cast the Golden Light Spell.
But when the attack came, cracks appeared in Li Hanzhou’s Golden Light Spell in an instant.
Blood suddenly erupted from his chest. Three burning snow blades had already pierced through the protective Golden Light Spell.
“No good.”
Li Hanzhou’s face was grim. His True Qi was only at the Seventh Rank realm, incomparable to his former self. Although his swordplay was superb and his attack power was strong, his defense was lacking.
He stumbled and leaned on his sword, and countless moon patterns suddenly appeared on the ice behind him!
The moonlight of the entire mountain became a cage.
The nine Demon Venerables instantly surrounded Li Hanzhou, eyeing him covetously.
Li Hanzhou was already prepared, a talisman appeared in his sleeve. In the worst case, he would cast a summoning spell again.
“Kill!”
The nine Demon Venerables attacked together.
The intense pressure caused the mountain under Li Hanzhou’s feet to crumble.
At the moment of impending death, a hint of dawn appeared on the horizon.
The Haoyue Envoy’s pupils constricted. That sword radiance, seemingly morning light, tore a gap in the moonlight cage.
The mountain stream three hundred steps behind Li Hanzhou suddenly boiled, countless water droplets surged into the sky, condensing into one million transparent water swords under the moonlight. These water swords froze into ice cones as they fell, yet were as light as feathers, only a green bamboo leaf drifted along the trajectory of the sword qi to Li Hanzhou’s shoulder.
At this moment, all nine Demon Venerables were annihilated in the sword qi, and the sword qi went straight for the Haoyue Envoy.
The Haoyue Envoy swung their saber, a clear sound of collision echoed, and their figure retreated thirty zhang. Countless ice bamboos suddenly sprouted from where they had stood.
These ice bamboos were adorned with green jade luster, clearly the ultimate expression of condensed sword qi.
A figure in green robes drifted over, stepping on bamboo leaves, the Jing Yuxianting still dripping starlight.
She casually flicked away the bamboo leaf that had fallen on Li Hanzhou’s shoulder. That leaf cut a three-inch gap in the cage set by the Haoyue Envoy.
It was as if everything was an illusion.
“Su Nianyi?”
Seeing the approaching person, Li Hanzhou was also startled.
They’d run into an acquaintance.
