The Romantic Cultivator

The Great Desolate Divine Palace where the Great Demon God was.

When Ding Xiaoxiao the White Lily had returned to the Great Desolate Divine Palace, she was dragging the wounded and unconscious body of Murong Yue the Eternal Night aka Number 2 along with her.

She tossed her in front of Number 3, 4 and 5 who were shocked at the barbaric treatment of Number 2 and said, "Don't worry, she won't die. She is an immortal cultivator. As long as her vital parts are protected, she can regenerate her injuries by releasing her profound animus."

Number 3 aka Mei Yinxuan the Seer an elfin maiden with a noble look immediately asked, "Who did this to her?"

Xu Xianzi the Destroyer aka Number 4, a lofty maiden with a beautiful look stared coldly at Ding Xiaoxiao before humming with great bitterness, "Murong Yue is one of us. You have actually dragged her across this hall in a nonchalant manner?!"

Number 5 aka Yao Hong the Raging Fire was unusually tame in front of Ding Xiaoxiao and decided to stay out of this for two reasons. Firstly, she was injured and secondly, she was never Ding Xiaoxiao's match. If she can cause Number 2 to be injured in such a manner, then she may well be able to kill her.

Ding Xiaoxiao laughed softly as she smiled coldly at Xu Xianzi, "You mean Number 2. Have you forgotten that we are not supposed to be addressing our names in this place? Ops, I seem to drag her across the heaven stairs as well. Oh, I have forgotten that she is your friend. So this is the power of friendship. However, why are you kicking a fuss? She isn't dead yet and she has disobeyed a direct order from the Great Demon God to stay put in the Great Desolate Divine Palace. Am I wrong in trying to fetch her back? What if she has killed the wrong targets instead? Then won't our Great Demon God be grieved by her actions?"

As she said that, the rest of the weaker Numbers from the back did not dare to say a word. After all, Ding Xiaoxiao was the acknowledged Number 1 and she was not a soft immortal cultivator.

Xu Xianzi said with equal coldness, "I may be Number 4 while you are Number 1. But I am not afraid of you."

As she said that, she had opened her robe to reveal her naked bosoms. However, she was actually showing her the metallic object that was between her bosoms and not her naked bosoms by revealing it to Ding Xiaoxiao. "As you can see, I have merged and metamorphosis with the desolate beasts. I am now stronger than before and stronger than you think I am."

Many of the numbers including Number 3 and 5 were gasping with shock.

In fact, Number 3 and 5, Mei Yinxuan and Yao Hong were gasping. "You have merged with the desolate beasts? This a path of no return…"

Ding Xiaoxiao smiled, "Oh? This is interesting. So do you want to challenge my position and be Number 1 instead?"

Xu Xianzi nodded slowly, "This is my intention. You didn't stop Murong Yue because you are a obedient servant but because you are bored in here. You really think that I do not know what goes in your mind?"

Then she pulled up her robe and said coldly, "I have the profound energy of my demonic race and now I have also the metamorphed body of the desolate beasts. My offense and defense are almost twice as strong as before. So, don't say that I didn't warn you."

Number 3 aka Mei Yinxuan had suddenly hold onto Xu Xianzi as she shook her head slightly, "Forget it. You're not her match."

But Xu Xianzi shook her head and stared coldly at Ding Xiaoxiao, "I have called the challenge and there is no backing down now. Ding Xiaoxiao! Have you forgotten that you must adhered to the call of the numbers to be challenged. Or are you a coward?"

Ding Xiaoxiao smiled and there was an anticipated look in her golden eyes as she stroked her golden flock tresses, "Hmph, this is interesting. Naturally I will answer this call."

When she had said that, Number 3, Number 5 and all the other Numbers began to stay further back from this great hall.

There were also some looks of anticipations on the other Numbers; this was actually the very first time that Number 1 was being challenged and also because they would be able to learn of the sword arts of this Number 1. Maybe they could even exploit the weakness of her sword arts too.

Xu Xianzi the Destroyer had displayed her celestial-step divine sword, "Draw your divine sword."

Ding Xiaoxiao raised her sword scabbard as she chuckled softly, "Hmph, you mean this? Unfortunately you are still unworthy for me to display my divine sword."

Xu Xianzi hummed coldly, "Then you shall regret this."

As she said that, she had swung her divine sword and whirls of dark wind blades began to flutter from all around her and she had also displayed her profound animus to her greatest peak.

But Ding Xiaoxiao continued to stand on her ground and asked, "Is that all?"

Xu Xianzi smiled coldly as she transformed into a humanoid with thick armor and had raised her profound strength to the middle 9th immortal positioning!

This startled everyone because they were all restricted in the Celestial Realm here and even Ding Xiaoxiao was unable to break past the 9th immortal positioning barrier to regain her fullest profound strength.

Xu Xianzi said coldly, "In this way, I can use my immortal profound art to the 9th cultivation realm. Because you are too arrogant, you have going to pay the price for your own folly."

As she said that, she had gathered a barrage of dark spires around her and with a swung of her sword, she had sent a powerful dark profound energy that sped toward Ding Xiaoxiao and the entire Great Desolate Divine Palace was now shaking nonstop by the sheer might of her profound power!

Ding Xiaoxiao raised her sword domain and a White Lily had blossomed like a flash of astonishing light to envelop her.

It was a most beautiful sight within the darkness of this powerful profound attack that was directed against her.

But all of a sudden Ding Xiaoxiao had swung her sword scabbard and the dark profound attack was ripped apart and Xu Xianzi was suddenly coughing blood with an open wound on her body!

The reinforced body of a ninth realm immortal and her profound aura were suddenly dismembered in that instant by a puny eighth realm immortal!

This was too fast and everyone was startled with a weird look.

"What is going here?"

"We didn't see a single thing?"

Number 3 aka Mei Yinxuan the Seer who had superior divine sense than the others was more shaken by the others as she tried to extend her senses deep into the duel. She could only mutter with disbelief, "This is her… Sword Domain…"

Ding Xiaoxiao giggled softly, "Is that all? Is there no cultivators that can use the sword better than I? This is too boring."

She coolly walked in front of the wounded Xu Xianzi and took her 3 cards that showed a Sword, a Shield and a Heart. "If you able to pick a Heart from these 3 cards then I will consider sparing you. If you pick the Shield, then I will just beat you up but I will spare you. But if you pick the Sword then you have to die. How about it? This is really fair for you and you will have 33% of making the correct guesswork. And a 66% of survival."

As she said that she covered the cards with her profound animus and smiled at Xu Xianzi.

A stunned Xu Xianzi murmured weakly as she stared at the 3 cards in front of her before she pointed to the middle card, "The Heart is here..."

Ding Xiaoxiao flipped the card to reveal a Sword before she rolled coldly.

In that instant, she swung her sword scabbard and had beheaded Xu Xianzi, stunning everyone.

The head of an immortal cultivator was hard and the profound defense was also strongest; it was impossible to behead an immortal without a powerful divine sword and she had only used a sword scabbard.

Ding Xiaoxiao simply shrugged her shoulders to walk away, leaving the rest of the Numbers in stunned silence.

As she left, she was sighing to herself. "Are there no one that is good with a sword nowadays? This Celestial Realm is too boring and victories are too easy. Maybe the Great Demon God will want me to fight with the Saintess Fang Zhenfei next? Hmph, I doubt that he will because he wants her to be alive than dead."

From this day onward, all the other Numbers had all decided to get out of her way and not to mess with her.
