“Who is this guy, who claimed to have thrashed the Sword Demon elder, and why is he so cocky?”

“And from the look of it, the Sword Demon elder didn’t deny it either!”

“My God, isn’t this person a peerless genius? How could he have such an experience; he’s only in his early twenties!”

“Stop guessing wildly, let’s just watch carefully. With the spiritual power in Wu De’s body as a carrier, the Sword Demon’s Primordial Spirit Phantom should possess the cultivation level of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, equivalent to those in the top echelon of prodigies!”

“Moreover, his vision and moves are not comparable to those of ordinary prodigies. Even if Li Xiaobai is against the odds, he won’t escape the palm of his adversary!”

The cultivators were shocked that Li Xiaobai seemed to be familiar with the Sword Demon elder. However, upon closer analysis, they concluded that it wasn’t necessarily Li Xiaobai pretending to be young.

It was also possible that the other party had encountered other Primodial Spirit Phantoms of the Sword Demon before and had a fierce battle.

Regardless, this Li Xiaobai was not the useless person they had imagined; on the contrary, he had real skills and was indeed a genius.

“Young Master Li, today this old man shall have a good spar with you. Back then, that youngster had too little spiritual power in his body to support my techniques, but today, we can have a proper fight,” the Sword Demon said, his eyes brimming with fighting spirit. He recognized Li Xiaobai, the genius who had taken his sword strike without a scratch.

However, Li Xiaobai slowly shook his head, “The cultivator who summoned you today is still weak. Today, you will only be slain by me in an instant!”

“Young Master Li is as eloquent as ever. There aren’t many in the world who can take a strike from this old man, but you are one of them,” the Sword Demon’s Outer Soul replied without much ado, pointing into the void with his wrist. The Ice Essence in Wu De’s hand immediately exploded, its fragments mingling with the rampant spiritual power to recondense into the shape of a longsword, thrusting directly at Li Xiaobai.

On the platform, ravines crisscrossed every which way, and the strong winds that invaded made many of the Great Crossing Realm Cultivators scatter, not daring to contest its edge.

Watching the sword light that kept enlarging before him, Li Xiaobai felt heartache. This Sword Demon elder had a bad habit of bursting his sword at a moment’s disagreement.

The Ice Essence contained no small amount of spiritual power. If he could let his Hellfire devour it, it would definitely transform into a substantial nourishment. Yet now, it was wasted by the Sword Demon in an explosion.

Such a waste!

Still, he merely raised his hand slightly and stuck out two fingers, gently clamping the approaching blade. Reflect activated, he effortlessly flicked it away.

The soaring sword light instantly turned into a pile of dust.

[Attribute Points +6000…]

[Attribute Points +6000…]

These attribute points aren’t bad at all. This value has already surpassed the attack power of ordinary Tribulation Crossing cultivators. Sword Demon’s reputation is well-deserved.

Yet this move scared the numerous onlookers below, causing their pupils to shrink. Against the Sword Demon’s offensive, Li Xiaobai was still so nonchalantly confident, still catching the attack with just two fingers and even crushing the sword light?

That’s simply unbelievable!

That’s the Sword Demon, an entity that once tore through the Upper Realm. Even if he’s just a Primodial Spirit Phantom at the Tribulation Crossing stage now, you don’t have to be so casual, right?

The Sword Demon’s eyes shone even brighter.

“In just a few months, Young Master Li has reached this stage. Such speed of cultivation is truly worthy of the title of ‘prodigy’!”

“Senior overpraises me. Although cultivating comes as easily as eating and drinking to me, I also practice tirelessly every day, daring not to slack off for a moment. My talent for cultivation is better than that of prodigies, and I work even harder. It’s only right that I’ve achieved this much,” said Li Xiaobai, smiling.

He knew the Sword Demon was getting serious. That meant Wu De was in for some misfortune!

“I have one sword technique, which Young Master Li has already seen before, but at that time, due to my insufficient cultivation level, its true power couldn’t be unleashed. Today, however, I can display some of its sharp edge. I wonder if Young Master can take it!”

After speaking, the Sword Demon suddenly pointed at the somewhat stunned Wu De below, his blood qi surging around him, and powerful vibrations of spiritual power whistling fiercely.

With his right hand forming a sword with his fingers, a golden sword light tore through the heavens and earth.

In an instant, Wu De’s complexion changed, the Sword Demon’s Outer Soul was executing some immensely powerful sword secret technique, continuously drawing spiritual power from his body.

Just within a breath’s time, the spiritual power within his dantian had sharply reduced by half.

At this rate, he would soon be drained dry.

In desperation, he took out a handful of miraculous pills and swallowed them to quickly restore his spiritual power, but compared to the amount being drained, it was like trying to extinguish a burning cart of logs with a cup of water.

“Senior, please show mercy, I cannot sustain my spiritual power anymore!”

Wu De said painfully, continuously bowing and gesturing towards the Sword Demon elder in the void.

“Shut up, how noisy. I am executing a supreme sword technique; witnessing its power is an honor for the likes of you. Watch closely how I operate it!”

The Sword Demon’s Outer Soul’s gaze was harsh, completely indifferent to Wu De’s life and death, selfishly and madly drawing spiritual power from his body.

This behavior was identical to what had happened previously in the Holy Demon Sect; these disciples believed that the summoned Sword Demon’s Outer Soul was their guardian deity, not realizing that this old man was a double-edged sword.

If it were just a regular cultivator, it might be all right, but if this old man encountered an equally matched adversary and his battle spirit arose, he wouldn’t care who the summoner was and would straightforwardly drain the cultivator’s spiritual power to execute the strongest sword techniques.

The last cultivator to be treated this way had already been ruined.

Li Xiaobai couldn’t help feeling a twinge of sympathy for Wu De; relying on external forces would ultimately lead to being bitten by them.

Wu De’s breath was growing weaker and weaker; in a few breaths, he went from a vibrant genius to a spent person with a grayish hue in his eyes, while the Sword Demon elder’s presence grew stronger, his eyes flashing with a golden sword light that pierced through the void.

“Sword Twenty-Three, Sword Break!”

The Sword Demon elder’s figure flashed, suddenly appearing in front of Li Xiaobai, fingers together as a sword, thrusting fiercely towards his glabella.

In that instant, Li Xiaobai felt as though he was tightly bound all over, unable to move a step, and could only watch as the golden sword light struck towards his forehead.

The Sword Demon’s Outer Soul I encountered last time was too weak and didn’t reveal the power of this move at all, but this time, having acquired some cultivation level, the power of this sword technique was partially revealed.

It’s quite overbearing!

Li Xiaobai felt a bit fortunate in his heart, thanking his stars that the opponent was only at the Tribulation Crossing Stage. If it had been a Sword Demon’s Outer Soul from the Mahayana Realm, it might have actually broken through his defenses.

The top fighters in this world are a bit terrifying; all of them are Great Crossing Realm Cultivators, but the gap is so huge.

[Attribute Points +30000…]

[Attribute Points +30000…]

This damage has already far surpassed the range that a Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivator should have, not inferior to the Mahayana Realm, truly worthy of being the Sword Demon’s strongest swordsman.

No doubt about it, ‘Reflect’ activated.

If it can’t kill me in an instant, then it will be killed by me in an instant!

All at once, the golden sword light shattered, the Sword Demon’s Outer Soul’s entire arm was vibrated into scattering fragments, and the Primordial Spirit Phantom dimmed in the blink of an eye.

“I’ll be damned…”
