Chapter 263 Yan Qi of the East Sea
Su Che frowned. He was also a half-sword cultivator and had experience in practicing the "Taiyu Abi Sword". He could naturally see some clues about Yan Qi's methods.

Yan Qi gave Su Che a very strange feeling.

The reason was simple: Su Che was all too familiar with the methods Yan Qi used.

His swordsmanship, and even the nature of his sword aura, all followed the path of the "Mirage Yuan Sword." This guy had clearly already mastered this swordsmanship to an extremely high and refined level.

Just like that wisp of breeze that I just flicked with my right pinky finger, it looked like a sword aura, but it was actually a sword that had been refined to the point of being formless and shapeless.

It was a massive sword about three zhang long. Yan Qi had used the Mirage Yuan Sword's sword-nurturing technique to cultivate countless extremely fine dust particles. Normally, it was as if it were nothing, but once it was used, its killing power was absolutely astonishing.

The man threw out the invisible sword, which on the surface appeared to shatter the demonic shadow blocking his way with a sword aura, but in reality, he was holding the invisible sword horizontally in mid-air, waiting for the tiger demon to catch him off guard and deliver a vicious blow.

If Su Che hadn't practiced the Mirage Sword technique, which was his earliest swordsmanship, and hadn't calmly observed from the sidelines, he would never have been able to see through the scheme that Yan Qi had set up.

This shows how clever and shrewd this person is.

Even a perceptive person like the Tiger Demon probably didn't see the trap Yan Qi had set.

If that were all, Su Che would only think that this person's swordsmanship was superb.

But the direction he flew through the air was clearly heading towards his hiding place.

After obtaining the Chiwen Ring from Teacher Yu Lizi, I was able to use it to conceal myself and change my appearance, rarely being noticed by others.

But no matter how you look at it, the route that Yan Qi is taking is clearly aimed at me.

Su Che even changed his position several times in the air, but Yan Qi also changed direction accordingly, looking like he was bringing He Wuji along to stage an accident.

This is a bit interesting.

Yan Qi dragged He Wuji away, but was immediately caught by the tiger demon. The tiger demon waved its long banner, and immediately many demonic shadows followed the trail and caught up with Yan Qi in mid-air.

The image of the deity in the sky became increasingly vivid, with countless mouths opening and closing around its body, and the incantations it uttered were like a huge boulder pressing down on everyone's hearts.

My mind, which was originally as clear as a mirror, was suddenly filled with all sorts of distracting thoughts, and anxiety and restlessness surged incessantly.

Beasts like Zhu'er hardly wanted to maintain their human form; they only wanted to tear the incessantly chanting statue to shreds.

Even people like Yan Qi and Su Che, who come from prestigious families and have solid foundations, have impure thoughts that spread like weeds in their hearts.

As for He Wuji, who was already mentally and physically injured, his face turned ashen, and his aura was chaotic, showing signs of demonic possession.

With a mental attack, Su Che's evaluation of the tiger demon before him rose to a new level.

Ordinary demon cultivators rely on their powerful demonic bodies and abundant magical power, and they generally follow a rough and brute path with their large and powerful attacks. However, this tiger demon, although we don't know what kind of magic weapon it has, is based on divine sense to attack the root of its opponent's soul.

In addition to having already cleverly set a trap to throw He Wuji into disarray, this latest tactic demonstrates her meticulous planning and skillful execution.

The only annoying thing was that clueless Yan Qi, who followed me around recklessly every time I changed positions.

It appeared to be dodging the tiger demon's spiritual attacks, yet the direction it was heading was almost exactly towards him. This indicated that the person before him, besides being highly skilled in swordsmanship and possessing a shrewd mind, was also a formidable fighter.

Su Che himself had heard Teacher Yu Lizi say that when fighting, one should never use simple realms as a basis for division, otherwise there would be no need to fight, everyone could just reveal their cultivation level.

It's not about how you react during the fight, but about how you respond.

Su Che felt that he had learned a lesson today. The tiger demon's pre-arranged schemes and Yan Qi's adaptable methods were all worth learning from.

The tiger demon slowly waved its long banner in the air, and the statue of the god suspended in the air gradually came to life under the shroud of the evil demons. Its nostrils opened and closed, as if it were breathing.

The three demonic eyes, sealed with guts, gradually began to move.

"You monster, I will never forgive you!" Under the onslaught of incantations, Yan Qi's speed actually slowed down.

He was already using his speed to drag He Wuji through the swirling demonic energy, but the surrounding incantations, which directly attacked his soul, seemed to affect even a sword cultivator like him, and his speed inevitably slowed down.

If we slow down even for a moment, we will give the tiger demon an opportunity to take advantage of us.

Suddenly, a hideous demon head, as big as a basket, appeared behind his head. Tiger stripes were faintly visible on the demon head's face. It came flying like a shooting star.

Yan Qi let out a mournful cry as the demon lord bit him, and the demon lord immediately unleashed a raging inferno, burning the East Sea swordsman to ashes.

The tiger demon's technique is called "Binding the Divine Power of the Netherworld," which is a supernatural power he has developed since attaining enlightenment. It is based on the tiger's roar and combined with the method of attacking with divine sense, far surpassing the methods of ordinary demons.

He later obtained the long banner, which allowed him to summon the avatar of a demon god from another world. With the avatar of the demon god, he could unleash the "Spell of Binding the Spirit and Penetrating the Netherworld," further enhancing his evil power.

If that were all, his abilities would not be apparent. Later, this tiger demon followed the methods of the demonic sect and refined nine Xuan Yin Demon Heads, which were hidden in the Yin Demon Shadow. Once the opponent showed signs of defeat, he would suddenly attack.

This Xuan Yin Demon Lord was created by him by combining the Yin Demons of the human world with his own demonic essence and using demonic arts. He is most fond of cultivators. Once bitten by this Demon Lord, one will suffer the calamity of being burned by demonic fire.

Enveloped in demonic flames, even if an enemy survives, they will be severely injured. If the enemy is then attacked and defeated, they will inevitably perish and become his accomplice.

Now, taking advantage of Yan Qi's influence from the curse, he immediately used his old methods to achieve success.

Even more viciously, for every demon head that performed a meritorious service, eight more demon heads immediately emerged from the layers of demonic shadows, roaring ferociously and spewing forth demonic flames, rushing straight at Yan Qi.

Yan Qi struggled, but her hands did not stop.

"Good monster, let's see the magic treasure!"

He roared and threw something out.

This move employs swordsmanship techniques honed over many years. It appears to be throwing an object, but it's like launching a flying sword with the hand. It's truly a case of "stillness is nothing, but movement is as swift as thunder."

The tiger demon was startled at first, but upon closer inspection, it realized that Yan Qi had thrown out none other than He Wuji, the warlord of the Heavenly Stable Academy, who was currently suffering from demonic possession and whose face was frequently etched with demonic shadows.

Su Che immediately berated Yan Qi for being an inhuman son.

Because He Wuji, this human-shaped pawn, wasn't targeting anyone else; he was coming specifically for him.

When Yan Qi threw the weapon, he even used a technique similar to locking onto the target with his sword intent. Despite his own attempts to dodge twice, He Wuji still came after him.

It's true that Bailudong is a turtle pond, but it seems that the East Sea Sword Palace is also a turtle farm.

Su Che cursed inwardly, but then revealed himself in the air. A dark light swirled behind his head, and the Xuan Python instantly materialized, opening its blood-red maw and swallowing He Wuji whole.

They come, the security.

Since the man surnamed Yan is going to hand over this hot potato, then I'll take it.

"The swordsmanship of the East Sea Sword Palace is truly exquisite."

Su Che flicked out a Nine Netherworld Burning God Yin Fire with his right middle finger, but the target was the empty space on the other side.

“Fellow Daoist, this demon’s magic weapon is called the Six Gods Soul-Sealing Banner. It can bind people’s souls. If he completes the setup, we will all become his accomplices. Let’s not fight each other like ghosts, let’s deal with him first.”

Yan Qi's voice rang out from another place. As he spoke, Yan Qi, who was being bitten by the demon, burst into a bubble.

His figure reappeared, and he used a sword intent to block the Yin Fire shot by Su Che.

This guy used illusion magic at some point; the Yan Qi being devoured by the Demon Lord was clearly an illusion he created.
