Demon Sword Sect's Undercover-Chapter 827 - 826: Desperate Counterattack

No choice left.

Hou Niao frustratingly realized that while he indeed achieved his purpose of controlling the stage, he also lost any room for choice.

He hoped to compete with Yue Duo, just as Yue Duo wanted to find him.

When he saw the twelve visitors from outer space, his keen sense for swords immediately identified the woman as his kind, just as Yue Duo pinpointed him from the Constellation True Inheritors.

This was why he did not enter the battlefield—he was waiting for this woman.

Unfortunately, Gou Du failed to see this, paying a tragic price.

While he had interest in other cosmic visitors, they paled in comparison to witnessing the outer space sword skill.

The sword Yue Duo wielded was a textbook example of Sword Light Division. He saw clearly how it divided into sixty-four streams of sword light, but the true essence was in the final Unify Sword.

Such division and unification, once formed, its power increased immensely! Gou Du wasn’t a weakling; his defenses weren’t lesser than any other Constellation True Inheritor, yet he was unsurprisingly cut into pieces, despite being prepared.

What he desired was precisely that Sword Light Division Skill, which evidently Shan Sect True Inheritor did not possess; not only him, all Shan Sect Sword Cultivators were mesmerized, realizing how strong the Universe Sword Vein Daoist really was!

Though she came from outer space, still shared the honor.

He was mulling over various ideas when the last visitor from outer space grew impatient. It decided to kill this small Sword Cultivator, not just for being sluggish, but also due to cosmic Daoist ties, Ran Dao Realm and Qingkong couldn’t get along.

Slowly floating out, showing no emotion, "Daoist, we’ve delayed this long enough, shall we have a quick match to move on?"

Hou Niao raised his head; he sensed the hostility—it’s the Sword Cultivator’s instinct, "Or... we could skip it? Anyway, I’d lose, I don’t want Outer Space Spiritual Green, I have a wife at home, can’t let it go to others, no children yet, I’m ashamed of my ancestors, and haven’t spent all my Spirit Stones..."

Speaking the most cowardly words with a nonchalant attitude, tightens the eyebrows of Jinxiu people, outer space visitors, they thought the most combative among twelve constellations turned out to be a mere silver spear with a wax head? Only strong within his own circle?

But only Hou Niao’s closest friends knew, when Brother Hou said he wouldn’t fight—that’s when he’s about to kill!

Yue Duo watched with some dissatisfaction, wondering how this Sword Cultivator could be like this? Thinking further about his persistent mumbling below, she became more skeptical about Jinxiu Sword Vein, but couldn’t say anything—this was Bao Xishan’s problem, not her place to intervene.

Bao Xishan was even more discontented, thus smiling more affably, "Shouldn’t we at least put on a show? Everyone else fought, only us two being lazy seems quite inappropriate, right? I promise it’ll be quick, quicker than you think."

Hou Niao thought about it, probably considering it indeed inappropriate to do nothing, "Then, how about just the gesture?"

"Just the gesture!"

Bao Xishan surged forward, transforming into a long blade, the blade radiating sharpness to the sky. Originating from Ran Dao Realm Sword Drawing Sect, a name slightly resembling Mortal Martial Arts Sect, yet in the Universe, among numerous Daoist lineages, such a Body Weapon path was rare. Their transformation wasn’t showy, just a sword—a burning sword.

Burning oneself, slicing the enemy.

They had a grudge with Sword Vein, an ancient feud common in the Universe Cultivation Realm; unsurprising. However, the Sword Drawing Sect wasn’t widespread like Sword Vein, confined to remote Boundary Domains, thus hard to have direct conflicts. But this coincidence gave Bao Xishan an opportunity—he didn’t mind collecting a small interest from Sword Vein, even if it was a minor Sword Cultivator from an infant Star Domain.

Someone once said that Sword Drawing Sect was the greatest nemesis of Sword Vein, as they were fiercer, fiercer without fear of death, transforming into a long blade ignored Flying Sword, directly targeting Sword Cultivator themselves.

Yet, once he transformed into a long blade, he suddenly realized the small Sword Cultivator vanished?

Incorrect; not vanished, but transformed into a Flying Sword!

Their battle choice surprisingly similar, apart from the blade and sword difference, outsiders would view as if from the same teacher!

Yue Duo suddenly felt enlightened, discovering an unknown land, this Sword Cultivator’s Flying Sword aura was pure, incredibly pure, yet the swordsmanship applied was vastly different from her teachings, two distinct directions!

She suddenly developed an intense interest in this realm’s Sword Vein; perhaps this visit was not as dull as imagined?

The next moment, the Flying Sword and long blade collided; neither had a choice—both cultivators wielded Divine Control, unable to locate each other’s true body. Their only option was mutual combat.

However, Bao Xishan immediately realized his disadvantage!

Not due to insufficient Mana, nor weak Divine Soul, or imprecise control, none of these!

The reason for his disadvantage was his real blade, whereas the opponent wielded a Void Sword, wholly composed of Five Elements Gold Essence Qi, effective in inflicting pain while he couldn’t harm them, akin to slicing air!

Enduring blows while unable to strike back, this was the first time in his century of cultivation he encountered such a situation.

Key issue was, he might become the only one among twelve Upper Realm emissaries to let the opponent survive past ten breaths, this disgrace he absolutely couldn’t tolerate; in Jinxiu Continent losing face he could endure, but not in front of Upper Realm peers, especially not before Qingkong Sword Vein—that was more painful than death!

He had countless ways to ease the situation, steering the battle towards entanglement, exhibiting other skills, in a different setting, different environment, he would unhesitatingly change his approach; he was chosen by Ran Dao Realm for being the strongest, most experienced.

But not this time, he couldn’t tolerate a shred of retreat!

Suddenly, large flames burst from the long blade—Yangshuo Fire, the origin of the burning blade; flames enveloped their combat space, if real strike couldn’t succeed, he’d burn out the little mouse, then shred him to pieces.

This was a gamble; Yangshuo Fire exposed a slight flaw in his spirit hidden in blade, but he bet this little cultivator wouldn’t notice, or even if noticed couldn’t affect him—it required extremely profound Five Elements understanding, in this small place how much could they comprehend Five Elements?

Among the onlooking cosmic visitors, a few furrowed brows, Zhi Xuan voiced directly, "Inappropriate! Such rash response."

Almost as if responding to his prediction, amidst soaring flames two-colored Mysterious Light flashed, flames softened... followed by a thunderbolt slithering along the long blade...

The Flying Sword descended, the long blade shattered into countless pieces, including Bao Xishan hidden within! freёnovelkiss-com

Not one breath over, just nine exactly!
