There are countless geniuses in the world of cultivation, but only my junior sister Sha Diao

"what's the situation?"

While everyone was still immersed in the afterglow of that tribulation-crossing sword strike, some cultivators were the first to notice something amiss: "What are these great demons up to?"

The same exclamations rang out throughout the cultivation world, quickly drawing most people's attention back.

The great demon who had been holding the rear suddenly shuddered, as if he had received some order. Ignoring the other demon cultivators who were still fighting, he disappeared from the battlefield one after another.

"???"

Not only the cultivators, but the demonic cultivators who noticed this were also dumbfounded.

What do you mean?

Have they been abandoned now?

Without those elusive and extremely troublesome high-level demons, the monsters were alright, most of them not very intelligent. However, the ghost cultivators didn't really trust each other to begin with, and seeing this, they looked at each other across the battlefield, a suspicion vaguely arising in their minds.

Could it be that these cunning old devils of the demon race are planning to betray their teammates right now?

Compared to them, the powerful figures on the cultivator side were thinking much deeper.

Seeing their opponents disappear one after another, their faces did not show any relief; instead, they looked even more solemn.

"These great demons must have left the battlefield for some reason we don't know. We must not let them go like this."

Who knows if these incredibly cunning guys have any other tricks up their sleeves?

At this moment, the ghost cultivators and cultivators, who were originally enemies, strangely reached the same consensus in their minds.

Both sides felt that the demons were a bunch of cunning old devils.

Therefore, their sudden and inexplicable disappearance on the battlefield is definitely not a sign of good intentions.

However, the great demons disappeared almost instantly, and they were unable to pinpoint their exact destination for a while.

Just then, Xie's eyelid twitched violently.

As one of the family heads who had just been openly threatened, he immediately realized who was behind it after sensing that familiar sword energy that seemed to be etched into his soul.

Who else could it be but that rude brat Gu Xia!

I believe the others share the same thought as him at this moment.

After realizing what had happened, the Xie family head sheathed his sword and immediately headed towards the direction from which the sword energy had rippled.

With so many powerful demons leaving at once, what exactly did Gu Xia do?

And his son too!

Will his son be in any danger if he stays with such a dangerous person as her?

Other powerful figures quickly realized this as well. The sword energy just now clearly belonged to the Tribulation Transcending stage, but they had dealt with Fang Jinxing in the past, so they recognized that it was not his aura.

If that's the case, then they might as well take this opportunity to find out what's going on.

Let's see who made the breakthrough. Try to get on their good side in advance, maybe we can even stand up to that old bastard Fang Jinxing in the future.

It can only be said that these old foxes are indeed quite shrewd; even at a time like this, they still don't forget to scheme against people's hearts.

If it weren't Gu Xia undergoing the tribulation, their plan might still have a sliver of a chance of success.

On the other side, Fang Jinxing, who was being targeted, sneezed for no apparent reason, and then skillfully turned his head to dodge the demon emperor's claw that swung fiercely at him.

"I knew you'd pull this trick." He sneered, but couldn't help but mutter to himself.

strangeness.

Who's talking behind his back at a time like this?

However, this thought did not last long. As a teacher, Fang Jinxing could naturally sense his disciple's aura. He and the Demon Emperor had destroyed one space and moved to another. By the time he sensed the sword energy, it was already barely perceptible.

Even so, Fang Jinxing was stunned after recognizing whose aura was contained within that sword energy.

He looked up at the sky in surprise, “That’s… Xia’s sword energy.”

When he uttered the last few words, Fang Jinxing's voice trailed off somewhat uncertainly, as if he couldn't quite believe his own judgment.

He couldn't be mistaken; that was Xia's sword energy.

But that child wasn't...

How could her presence suddenly appear?

An absurd yet remarkably reasonable guess suddenly came to mind.

So... his apprentice is still alive?

Fang Jinxing was overjoyed, exclaiming, "That's wonderful, hahaha!" He was clearly so happy that he forgot himself.

The demon emperor, whose sneak attack had failed, thought he had probably gone mad and scoffed, "What Xia Xia? Wasn't your disciple already dead?"

"If you want to fool yourself, at least make up something good. You're saying that such powerful sword energy was wielded by that brat who's only a teenager?"

Yes.

Although the Demon Emperor had a foul mouth, it didn't stop his words from truly enlightening Fang Jinxing.

He was so excited that he overlooked this matter. After pondering it for a few seconds, Fang Jinxing's expression gradually became blank.

To be honest, if he didn't know Gu Xia's sword energy well enough, he would almost have thought he was hallucinating.

what's the situation?

His disciple left for half his life and returned as a tribulation-crossing being.

But none of that mattered. Fang Jinxing summoned his spirit sword and slashed at the Demon Emperor's tail with a backhand strike. The sound of the collision was accompanied by the Demon Emperor's painful roar.

He then sneered, "None of your business!"

"you idiot!"

"I said she's my disciple, so she's my disciple. What do you know? Who's her master, you or me?"

Demon Emperor: "..."

Damn, has this swordsman gone mad?

at the same time.

The Ghost Lord, who was chased to the point of exhaustion by Sect Master Qin, also asked the same question.

"are you crazy?"

He could sense that the token, which had been manipulated earlier and contained a trace of his divine consciousness, had suddenly shattered.

What does it mean if the token is broken?

This means that all of his men who came to his aid were wiped out.

How could this be? ! !

The Demon Lord felt an urge to vomit blood.

The next second, as a mysterious sword aura pressed down from behind, he actually spat out a mouthful of blood.

Sect Leader Qin coldly held his sword, "Still trying to run? Do you really think you can escape?"

Although I didn't understand what the other person was mumbling, it doesn't matter, none of that matters.

All I need to do is kill them.

Besides, they sword cultivators aren't the type to be curious about everything.

After fighting for so long, the Ghost Lord realized that this guy was completely unyielding, yet his cultivation was indeed quite strong.

He didn't know what was happening over there, but he was clearly having second thoughts.

Anyway, he was only pulled in later; the real culprits are someone else.

Instead of taking the damage here, it would be better to let Sect Master Qin go and settle accounts with those two scoundrels from the demon and monster races.

Having made up his mind, the Ghost Lord didn't have time to think about anything else. He unleashed a palm strike, carrying a surge of ghostly energy, just as Sect Master Qin raised his hand to block.

He turned around and tried to run away.

Do whatever you want, he's not going to play along anyway.

As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. The demon race and the cultivation world have already fought to the death. It's not too late for the ghost realm to make a dazzling appearance when they are both exhausted.

The imagination is wonderful, but reality is cruel.

A sword flashed out from behind him like lightning, blocking all his escape routes.

Sect Master Qin finished his sword incantation, and more than a dozen sword shadows pinned the Ghost Lord's body to the ground. Before he could struggle free, a sword pierced through his skull.

Amidst a terrifying scream, his consciousness was also destroyed.
