Chapter 218 External Power
A huge black wolf, shrouded in dark demonic energy, engaged in a fierce battle with Ji Yan. The shockwaves generated by their fight caused the reeds on the surface of the entire Moonlit Sword Domain lake to bend to one side.
However, these seemingly fragile reeds only tilted slightly, their soft stems touching the ground for a few breaths before they stood up tenaciously again after the shockwave subsided.
Before the vast expanse of reeds stood a little girl who never wavered.
Xue Tong transformed into human form last year when Xue Lan returned to the Xuanhuang Sect to participate in the Ascension Conference.
She looked like a six or seven-year-old girl at the time, and she was very endearing.
Whether it was because Xue Lan raised her too well, or because the body conjured by the system was inherently different from ordinary people, in less than half a year, the little girl grew up to Xue Lan's ear.
Like willow branches sprouting new shoots, they are tender and soft, yet resilient and unyielding.
He stood upright amidst the terrifying shockwave, his black robes billowing in the air.
The fierce winds from the heavens seemed to barely brush past the hem of her clothes.
The inner demon, holding the Su Jun sword, looked at the little girl with a hint of admiration in his eyes. The girl lightly leaped up, and before the momentum of the previous sword move had dissipated, a shimmering silver light appeared on the long sword in her hand. A full moon was reflected on the lake beneath her feet, with ripples on its surface.
"Start the recording."
Xue Tong heard the voice of her inner demon. She had her eyes closed, but she could still feel the sharp sword intent. The gentle breeze that flew behind her once again carried her toward the ominous aura in front of her.
Under the dazzling sword light, the little devils that Ji Yan had sent out to shield him began to crumble, each emitting a shrill and chilling scream.
Amidst the eerie screams, Xue Tong heard two sword clinks.
A short, sharp sound, close at hand, like the sound of a slingshot.
A long, deep sound, far away in the sky, seemed like a swift arrow piercing the air.
She unleashed two sword strikes? Xue Tong was filled with astonishment. In that brief moment, the inner demon had unleashed two sword strikes.
With one sword strike, he severely wounded the horde of ghosts before him. With another sword strike... the second sword cry he had just heard echoed in his mind once more.
Long and heavy, with substance within the illusory.
That wasn't a sword move! Xue Tong's heart skipped a beat. She was startled by her own guess and couldn't help but want to open her eyes to see the Su Jun Sword in the girl's hand, but in the end, she held back.
The inner demon threw the Su Jun Sword away. This was Xue Tong's conclusion.
Although stories of sword immortals taking people's heads from thousands of miles away do exist in the world of cultivation, this story takes place in the Sword Domain, during the battle with Ji Song.
Xue Lan wouldn't idly launch a strike into the air. Therefore, it's unlikely that the inner demon would make such a mistake.
The Moonlit Sword Domain is boundless, an endless expanse of lake and reeds, with no place around to use its momentum to reverse the situation.
The only explanation is that the inner demon released the Su Jun Sword.
The girl is now in her hands...
Where Xue Tong couldn't see, the girl cast a sophisticated illusion with her fingertips, her right hand forming a sword finger, a hint of mockery in her eyes, like one of the most dangerous predators in the world, she was waiting for an opportunity.
With the moon high in the sky, the flow of time within the Moonlit Sword Domain suddenly accelerated after the moon appeared, and the surrounding breeze stopped again, gathering once more in the distant distance behind.
At the tip of the reeds, a gentle breeze begins to rise.
This is the last breeze.
Ji Song was fighting the Black Wolf in front of him with equal skill, appearing calm and collected on the surface. However, due to his large size and being confined to one place, he was gradually finding it difficult to deal with the Black Wolf.
Black Wolf dodged the massive axe blow once more and stood before Ji Song, staring at him with a pair of empty, eerie eyes.
A chill inexplicably ran through Ji Song's heart.
Among that enormous monster, a creature no bigger than a normal person's forearm couldn't help but tremble.
He could actually see the aura of his father in the black wolf in front of him.
If his inner demon knew what he was thinking, it would definitely speak up.
"What nonsense is the child spouting? What do you mean by 'surprisingly'?"
"This is part of your cheapskate father."
Almost instantly, as his resolve wavered, Ji Song's expression changed drastically. His small figure abruptly moved from where he had been standing.
The next instant, the spot where he had just been was cleaved in two by a snow-white sword light.
Looking at the mountain of flesh that had collapsed in front of her, the girl said with some regret, "They ran pretty fast."
The gentle breeze of the Moonlit Sword Domain blew from behind again, and Xue Tong heard the voice of the inner demon, as clear and cold as a crescent moon: "Listen carefully."
With the gentle breeze, the girl's wrist moved swiftly, slashing several sword beams at the mountain of flesh in front of her. She forced Ji Song, who was hiding in the body, to his death. In his frantic state, he heard a faint sword cry mixed in with the whistling wind.
Is it in front?
not good!
The inner demon saw a powerful wisp of demonic energy erupt from the enormous mountain of flesh before it, transforming in mid-air into a pale-faced demon with two faces, one on the front and one on the back, each with only one eye.
He looked deathly pale and extremely weak.
This frail figure actually managed to catch the blade of Su Jun's sword as it pierced through the clouds and moonlight.
Ji Song looked at the longsword that had been caught in front of him and revealed a very maniacal smile.
"The mere lower realm..."
"Whoosh..."
The sound of an arrow piercing the air rang out, and Ji Song's smile froze. The demon looked incredulously at his back with the eye on the back of his head.
A pale blue arrow was stuck there.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the little girl in black not far away.
Xue Tong slowly opened her eyes in the gentle breeze, and peach petals slowly fell from the bow and arrow in her hand.
Ji Song raised his hand and grabbed the arrow: "You are all so naive."
But the smile on his face vanished the next second.
He couldn't catch the arrow.
The pain from being shot by arrows was still there, but he was unable to hold onto the pale blue arrows.
Fear appeared on the demon's face: "An outsider?"
The inner demon gave him a faint smile: "Your Highness should worry about yourself first!"
A look of confusion appeared on Ji Song's face.
Xue Tong's clear voice rang out: "Your Highness!"
"The wind has not yet stopped."
Ji Song then realized that when he lost his composure due to the external forces, silver ripples began to appear on the entire lake surface beneath his feet. The aura of these ripples connected with the still-flowing breeze, weaving together a dense, giant net.
"Trying to trap me?" Ji Song began to struggle, when he suddenly heard the girl in front of him chuckle.
"Wandering Moon".
A voice belonging to none of the three present appeared, and Ji Yan saw the space in front of him distort in an instant. A woman dressed in a simple apricot-colored long dress appeared in front of him and grabbed the hilt of the Su Jun Sword.
Gently push it forward.
With overwhelming force, his proud defenses were easily pierced by the sword tip, and half of the longsword sank into his heart.
At the same time, thousands of sharp sword lights were released from the broken sword that had pierced his heart.
The entire sword domain began to surge. The sword lights that severed Ji Song's body bounced off the illusory net and then spun back, passing through Ji Song's body again and shaving away all the flesh and blood.
All that remained was a skeleton and a demonic soul hidden within the demonic core.
"It's alright, as long as the Demon Soul is there! Run..." The thought had barely formed in his mind when Ji Song realized something was wrong.
His demonic soul seemed to be bound by something.
The pale blue arrow that had pierced his body had somehow transformed into a pale blue light membrane, enveloping his demonic soul within it.
Unable to tear through space, unable to escape.
A girl's soft laughter drifted over.
"Your Highness... how does this external power, which is not tolerated by the Yuanming Realm and has no causal ties to you, taste?"
"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!" Ji Song roared in despair. The skeletal frame, its demonic soul isolated, turned to ashes under the surging sword light.
"Xue Chongyu!"
After shouting that, he lost his voice and turned into a pale blue ball of light.
The inner demon held the ball of light in its hand and then threw it to Xue Tong.
"Huh?" Xue Tong looked a little lost, clutching the things in her hands.
"After you get out, go straight to the underworld. When you're about to be struck by heavenly lightning, lift him above your head," the inner demon slowly said.
"Oh...isn't this inappropriate?" Xue Tong said weakly.
"Then you can wait to turn into coke."
Xue Tong silently placed the ball of light on her head.
"I'm ready. Better to die than to die myself."
