Chapter 12 - 12 Black Tiger Daoist
A great demon with a tiger’s head and a human body appeared beside the Evil Sword, coldly scanning the group from Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, “Evil Sword, you deal with Ku Mu. I’ll take care of the others.”
“No problem.”
The Evil Sword stretched out his hand, and the huge sword behind him flew out, landing in his hand as he cruelly licked the blade, his eyes bloodshot.
In his eyes, Lu Changsheng and his party were already corpses.
“Black Tiger Daoist, a Great Demon of the fourth layer of Dao Palace from Huang State, often devours humans of the Huang Tribe, and is naturally brutal and bloodthirsty. This is not good.”
Having lived for eight hundred years, Elder Ku Mu was experienced and knowledgeable, and he also had an understanding of the loose cultivators from Huang State.
Elder Ku Mu could hold off Elder Evil Sword from the Reincarnation Hall, but he was completely unable to manage Black Tiger Daoist.
Therefore, Elder Ku Mu secretly transmitted a message, telling Lu Changsheng, Xia Ningxue, Luo Feng, and others to find a way to escape.
“Attack!”
Several hundred disciples of the Demon Sects, armed with various weapons, attacked Lu Changsheng and his group from all directions.
“Follow me and break through the siege.”
Xia Ningxue drew a snow-white longsword, its Sword Qi sweeping across and slaying several Demon Sect disciples as she led the charge to break out.
“You heretics and evil-doers, you’re seeking your own death!”
“Heaven Burning Sword!”
Luo Feng summoned a Precious Sword, which whipped up roaring flames. The Demon Sect disciples caught in the fiery Sword Qi did not even have the chance to scream before being turned to ash.
Inquiry Immortal Pavilion is one of the six major Righteous Dao, and its Dao Palace realm elders are by no means ordinary.
However, two elders of the Dao Palace realm from the Reincarnation Hall made their move.
The sound of chains swinging could be heard, and the sickle at the end of the chain slashed through the air towards Xia Ningxue!
Xia Ningxue used her Longsword to strike the sickle, but the Longsword was entangled by the chain, and the sickle still flew towards Xia Ningxue.
“Break!”
Xia Ningxue slapped with her left palm, blasting the sickle that was slicing through the air!
“Break again!”
With her right hand wielding the sword, Xia Ningxue’s sharp Sword Qi cut through the chain!
“An Acquired Spirit Treasure of high quality?!”
The Reincarnation Hall elder who attacked Xia Ningxue was greatly surprised; Xia Ningxue’s Longsword was exceptionally sharp, having cut through his chain and sickle with Sword Qi.
“One Sword of Frosty Cold!”
Xia Ningxue swung out a Cold Ice Sword Qi that stretched over dozens of yards, turning the air to ice wherever it passed!
The Reincarnation Hall elder couldn’t dodge in time and had an arm severed by Xia Ningxue’s Sword Qi!
The wound was frostbitten, and the Reincarnation Hall elder showed an agonized and ferocious expression.
He, too, was of the first layer of Dao Palace, but Xia Ningxue, born with the Lingwa Holy Body and Innate Spiritual Vein, and possessing a high-quality Acquired Spirit Treasure, completely overwhelmed the Reincarnation Hall elder.
“Within Reach, Ends of the Earth.”
Xia Ningxue took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of the Reincarnation Hall elder, slaying him with one sword strike!
While stealthily dealing with the Demon Sect disciples, Lu Changsheng was secretly astounded.
Xia Ningxue was clearly not an ordinary elder of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion.
“Useless trash!”
The muffled voice of Black Tiger Daoist rang out as a giant beast paw materialized, striking towards Xia Ningxue!
“Ice Sword Domain!”
The air around Xia Ningxue solidified into ice, with ice blades forming Sword Qi in front of her.
Crack!
The beast paw shattered the Ice Sword Qi and struck Xia Ningxue!
“Puh…”
Xia Ningxue was injured by a blow from Black Tiger Daoist, spitting out blood, her complexion pale.
Although she was nearly invincible in the same realm, Black Tiger Daoist was a fourth-layer Dao Palace Great Demon, three realms higher than her.
“Black Tiger Daoist, by colluding with the Reincarnation Hall, aren’t you afraid of the six major Righteous Dao?”
Xia Ningxue’s expression remained frosty, the more dangerous the situation, the more she needed to stay rational.
“The six major Righteous Dao mean shit; one day I will attack Mount Shu and devour a hundred thousand disciples!
“Die!”
Black Tiger Daoist mercilessly struck down, his beast paw lashing out again!
Xia Ningxue stepped on her Flying Sword, trying to dodge the beast’s claw.
But as the beast’s claw grew with the wind, it became like a small mountain, still slapping down fiercely!
“Pfft!”
Xia Ningxue spat out blood again, her face devoid of color.
The gap between their three realms made it difficult for Xia Ningxue to bridge the chasm.
“Junior sister!”
Luo Feng was locked in fierce combat with another Reincarnation Hall Elder and saw Xia Ningxue about to be annihilated by Black Tiger Daoist, his anxiety burning like fire.
But both he and the Reincarnation Hall Elder were of the second layer of Dao Palace Realm and evenly matched in their deadly fight, unable to spare any effort to assist.
“Die!”
Black Tiger Daoist continuously struck out with his claws, covering the sky and earth as they smacked down, shaking the ground.
Xia Ningxue appeared slightly disheveled, with no choice but to dodge with her sword.
“Ah!!!”
Another disciple from the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion was killed and fell from the sky.
The more than twenty people from the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, under the siege of the Demon Sects, were quickly reduced to just over ten.
Lu Changsheng activated the Taiqing Wuji Technique, wielding the Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder Sword, battling alone against three Nascent Soul Realm Elders of the Reincarnation Hall without falling at a disadvantage. Swinging the Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder Sword, the sword moved with the power of wind and thunder, annihilating two Reincarnation Hall Elders!
In the intelligence from the Reincarnation Hall, Lu Changsheng was an Elder of the Nascent Soul Realm from Mount Shu, but in reality, he had already reached the Dao Palace Realm.
The Reincarnation Hall, having messed up the intelligence, suffered a great loss, and Lu Changsheng grew stronger as the battle raged, slaying another seven or eight Reincarnation Hall disciples.
“The most troublesome is Black Tiger Daoist. Even if I kill all the Demon Sect’s disciples, if Xia Ningxue is killed by Black Tiger Daoist, I will also face disaster.”
Lu Changsheng steeled his heart and attacked Black Tiger Daoist from behind with his sword.
“Hmph, a mere Nascent Soul Realm Taoist dares to ambush me?”
Black Tiger Daoist sensed the sword Qi approaching from behind and turned around to casually strike with his palm.
“Myriad Swords Return to Origin!”
Lu Changsheng frantically activated the Taiqing Wuji Technique, and a vast outpour of spiritual energy surged from his Dantian!
In midair, over ten thousand spirit swords formed from condensed spiritual energy aimed at Black Tiger Daoist!
In that moment, Lu Changsheng no longer concealed his strength but used his full power!
“What? You are in the Dao Palace Realm!”
Black Tiger Daoist was caught off guard, and because he miscalculated, he used too little power to block Lu Changsheng’s palm.
Black Tiger Daoist’s palm force only obliterated three thousand spirit swords, with seven thousand more bombarding him.
Boom, boom, boom!
Black Tiger Daoist, unprepared, was repeatedly struck by the spirit swords, finding himself in a very awkward position.
“Let’s go!”
Lu Changsheng knew that by launching a surprise attack, he might be able to severely injure Black Tiger Daoist, but the idea of killing him across three realms was far too difficult.
Xia Ningxue’s expression showed shock; Lu Changsheng was also of the Dao Palace Realm, whereas she had until then endured Luo Feng’s taunts.
The group from the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion fought as they retreated, and under the leadership of three Dao Palace Realm individuals, they broke through the encirclement.
“You dare injure me, unforgivable! Black Tiger Heart Devouring!”
Black Tiger Daoist, furious, sent a surge of black mist towards the group from Inquiry Immortal Pavilion.
“Not good, he’s targeting our souls!”
“Leave, I’ll block it! The Dao follows Nature!”
Xia Ningxue stood behind everyone, forcefully enduring Black Tiger Daoist’s attack.
The moment the black mist hit her, Xia Ningxue’s soul felt as though it had been struck hard, and her eyes became lifeless.
“Struck by my Black Tiger Heart Devouring Technique, in no time, your soul will be torn apart.”
Black Tiger Daoist was very confident in his technique.
He had used this move to exterminate countless exceptional beings.
“Take this elixir pill.”
Lu Changsheng, unable to escape Black Tiger Daoist’s pursuit alone, decisively took out a rank-seven Nine Nether Soul Gathering Pill and fed it to Xia Ningxue.
Xia Ningxue’s soul began to reconvene, her eyes once again brightening. She miraculously survived, feeling it almost unbelievable.
“Hm?”
Black Tiger Daoist expended a vast amount of spiritual energy to perform his unique Dao technique, yet Xia Ningxue was easily rescued by Lu Changsheng.
