260 Unfortunately, There Is No Eye on the Back (1/2)

Punching the face was just the beginning.

In fact, putting his fist on Zhu Shiyao’s nose was more symbolic than practical.

Unlike Liu Li, Zhu Shiyao was not a full offensive type of cultivator. Stellar sword qi protected her body, making her skin seem like a mosaic of countless pieces of bright diamonds, which was incomparably hard.

Wang Lu has already used his real strength in that heavy fist, yet, it still didn’t cause her any actual harm. Zhu Shiyao only felt a bit dizzy and caused her to have a nosebleed, but it was no big deal… Luckily, she managed to see the perfect trajectory to dodge when the opponent swung the heavy fist.

However, with an ominous foreboding, she knew that the battle was not over, and her situation was very delicate.

From the other end of the sea of bitterness, she made a long-range raid against the opponent. On her peak state, she met head-on against the opponent’s original magical ability. After which, her stellar sword qi clashed against the opponent’s broken sword and huge sword, all of them relying on her long distant raid and uncut momentum, not entirely based on Stellar Divine Eyes.

However, in the end, she was still blocked. Not by the opponent’s divine sword, but by defensive force and incredible physical vitality. Although it was a bit embarrassing, and she was somewhat reluctant to accept it, it was still unwinnable even though she had tried her best. This just meant that the strength of the opponent has gone beyond her ability to cope with. After her sword momentum was exhausted, in the next move, she would lose for sure.

Fortunately, at least she has the ability to defend herself. If she activated her full defense, she was confident that she would be able to retreat. It was just that, there was a strange feeling that has always existed in her heart, as if bad things might happen at any moment.

”Got you! Now get out!”

With that man’s roar, Zhu Shiyao finally found the source of her strange feeling.

Yes, that’s it! I forgot something very important. The key to this battle is not to kill the person who has been lured and corrupted into a demon by the Sword Demon, but to slay the Sword Demon himself, to help the Sword God become whole as the Sword God of Bai Li.

At the same time, the opponent’s goal is not myself, but… Sword God that attaches himself in my body!

Sure enough, when that not particularly powerful punch landed on her face once again, Zhu Shiyao has already been able to feel the invasion of a strange force. The next moment, stimulated by this force, Sword God roared, ”You dare!”

At the same time, Sword God rushed out from Zhu Shiyao’s body. His heaven splitting sword qi was aimed at Wang Lu. Its sharp edge was not inferior to Zhu Shiyao’s Great Sun Golden Brilliant Sword. Rarer still was the sword momentum, which was difficult to guard against.

As the Sword God of Bai Li, because he was just resurrected, his power was extremely weak, but his use of subtle power was still something that newcomers in the world of immortal cultivation could not compare. This sword qi might not have Zhu Shiyao’s victory seeking magical ability, but Wang Lu was still unable to resist it. Not to mention that at this time, his chest suffered a stab wound—although his life was not at risk, he could not fully use his strength.

However, since Sword God has made his move, would Sword Demon just stand idly by?

”Humph, I’ve been waiting for you to come out for a long time!”

When Sword Demon’s stature appeared by Wang Lu’s side, Sword God actually revealed a smile. ”Sorry for making you wait, unfortunately, I don’t want to accompany you!”

With that, Sword God roared, and his whole body turned into a flash of light. The next moment, he and Zhu Shiyao have disappeared without a trace. The Great Sun Golden Brilliant Sword that was stuck in Wang Lu’s chest has also disappeared.

”Ohh, they ran away…”

Sword Demon’s complexion turned solemn and began to narrate with a sinking voice, ”Able to use his own magical power to break your original magical ability and directly leave… he is indeed worthy to be the legitimate inheritor of Zhong Shengming. His power is far above me. Were it not for the yin and yang division array, which forced us to not make a direct move against each other, I’m afraid I would’ve died by now.”

Then, after a pause, Sword Demon continued, ”Unfortunately, though you’ve tried so hard, you didn’t manage to be the last to laugh.”

Wang Lu actually didn’t care much about this. ”Although they managed to save their lives through the last second escape spell, this is not that bad actually because this kind of desperate escape spell could not possibly be unlimitedly used. And since we can win for this first time, we can win the next one hundred times. In this unique environment, my advantage would just snowball, so they have no chance at all.”

”Mmm, since your morale is still high, then that’s really good… How is your injury?”

”Hehe, rest assured, although I lost some of my blood, I will soon recover.”

”Mm, that’s good. Take your time to recuperate, there’s no need to rush. After suffering this defeat, they will not come back so soon, so we still have time.”

The exchange between the two seemed to say that they cared for each other. It was just that there was an unclear undertone in their voice, making the dialogue feel strange.

—

At the same time, at the other end of the sea of black haze, with a flurry of light, Sword God and Zhu Shiyao finally appeared.

Sword God seemed somewhat exhausted. Just now, when he used his own spell to break the other side’s original magical ability, the energy consumed was really not small. If he was in his heyday, he could easily crush one hundred Wang Lu’s original magical ability. But now, he was far from the peak of his power.

Zhu Shiyao herself still has her trademark indifferent look, as if she didn’t feel happy or sad, as if the defeat just now had never happened.

At this time, she was holding her Great Sun Golden Brilliant Sword as she was looking at it. Her mind was completely immersed in her own sword light. After a moment, the corner of her mouth arched up to form a smile, unexpectedly she seemed to have lost herself in it.

Upon seeing this, Sword God sighed. She was really a sword lunatic, anywhere she could immerse herself in the way of the sword. But now was not the time.

”The means of Sword Demon is really unexpected. Unexpectedly, he found such a formidable companion; that guy managed to increase his cultivation base ten times as powerful in just dozens of hours. Unless it’s the legendary Void Spirit Root, otherwise, he must have increased his power through demonic method, meaning that companion would die sooner or later… But until then, our days are not going to get better.”

”…”

Seeing Zhu Shiyao completely without any reaction, Sword God wrinkled his brows and shouted, ”Now is not the time to relax!”
