Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 447 - 443: Enlightenment During Sword Techniques Exchange with Sword Beast
The two left while still lamenting that Goddess Qingxue indeed has a good temper, much better than Goddess Qingyu.
Even though they might not have much influence, they still wanted to explain a few more things outside for Goddess Qingxue.
Perhaps it wouldn’t be much help, but at least they felt they spoke the truth.
Xia Tianming watched the direction the two left in, his eyes narrowing slightly. He turned to Xia Feng and spoke softly, "Just going to let them go like that?"
Xia Feng nodded. Those two loose cultivators only had the cultivation of Celestial Tier Sixth Layer Martial God, so letting them go doesn’t matter much.
If they indeed didn’t have the sense not to report Li Qingxue’s whereabouts to Li Qingyu, Xia Feng could kill a few more.
Xia Tianming frowned, glancing again in the direction the two left, speaking with a hint of helplessness, "Forget it, as long as you know what you’re doing."
Xia Feng smiled, turning to look at Li Qingxue beside him, who had completely integrated her Sword Heart by now.
She looked into the void with eyes misted with white, then drew her Divine Sword, which made the nine daughters beside them somewhat worried.
But Xia Feng noticed she seemed to be receiving a Sword Technique inheritance, so he gestured at the other women, "No need to worry, it’s a good thing."
Li Qingxue began to wield her sword. Initially, her movements were stiff, but her actions became more fluid over time.
And unbeknownst to her, the Great Dao of Celestial Sword around her seemed to give her subtle assistance, making her sword techniques more solid.
Points of whirlpools began to gather where the sword beast had died earlier. Xia Feng turned his head to look and found that as many as eleven small whirlpools were expanding.
It seemed neither the sword slave nor Xia Tianming had acted, so it only counted the battles of Xia Feng and the women.
This was four fewer than the worst-case scenario Xia Feng had imagined. He initially thought the two loose cultivators would be included as well.
These whirlpools spun and expanded, vaguely giving a sensation of tearing through space.
Li Qingxue was still comprehending the Sword Heart’s sword techniques, seemingly not yet clear-headed.
Meanwhile, the other women grew tense.
Their sword beasts should be Celestial Tier Second Layer Martial Gods, which theoretically shouldn’t have much of an impact.
However, their own cultivation was greatly affected within the Holy Sword Secret Realm, and it was uncertain if they could control these sword beasts.
Beside them, Xia Tianming glanced at Li Qingxue, who was still comprehending sword techniques, and spoke cautiously, "Two First Grade Celestial God Realm sword beasts, we each handle one."
He was also a Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial God, so even when receiving Li Qingxue’s First Grade Celestial God Realm sword beast, it wouldn’t rank up.
Xia Feng shook his head, "I’ll handle these two first."
"If you intervene, Grandfather, new sword beasts might appear after this."
"I may have to send them back later, it’s not suitable to continue fighting."
"So, Grandfather, you just need to watch over them, and if... if any of them really can’t hold on, then step in directly."
Xia Tianming nodded seriously, aware of the importance of his task.
The expression of the women carried a hint of disapproval, "Husband, we can do it, we won’t be a burden to you."
"Just a few Celestial Tier Second Layer Martial God sword beasts, we can definitely handle them."
However, they did not oppose Xia Feng’s suggestion to send them back.
The women were also aware that here, apart from the Great Dao of Celestial Sword, all other Great Dao were excessively suppressed, making it nearly impossible to survive properly.
If they wanted to help Xia Feng, the best way was to return to their respective Divine Domains and not trouble him.
Although they wanted to stay here with him, they preferred not to cause Xia Feng trouble.
The two First Grade Celestial God Realm sword beasts hadn’t fully emerged, but the nine Celestial Tier Second Layer Martial God sword beasts had already leapt from the spatial vortices.
Xia Feng’s expression carried a hint of gravity, resisting the urge to help the nine daughters.
If he intervened and the sword beasts all rose to First Grade Celestial God Realm, he might find it difficult to deal with.
Despite their suppressed cultivation, the women’s abilities weren’t so feeble as to be dealt with by mere Celestial Tier Second Layer Martial Gods.
Especially since Sun Yazhu held the Purple Gold Cauldron, an Ancient Divine Artifact, quickly shattering the sword above one beast’s head.
Sun Yazhu could then help the other sisters, quickly resolving them one by one in a two-on-one situation.
Only the two belatedly emerging First Grade Celestial God Realm sword beasts remained.
The women knew they couldn’t match the Celestial God Realm sword beasts and stood behind, ready to assist.
Sun Yazhu seemed eager, holding the Purple Gold Cauldron, ready to jump into the fray at any moment.
Xia Feng took a moment to turn and assure them, "Don’t worry about me, I have my methods."
The Heaven-Burying Sword in his hand swept with ferocious momentum, slashing and opening as if about to decapitate the sword beasts.
Yet the combined attack of the two sword beasts seemed much more challenging than a single beast’s assault.
Xia Feng’s expression was solemn as he wielded his sword in defense, pondering how to overcome the sword beasts.
The sword beasts, regardless of whether Xia Feng attacked or defended, continuously attacked him.
Xia Feng occasionally had to step back a pace or two.
Beside him, Lin Wanqing looked a bit tense, the Great Dao of Extreme Ice spreading across her palm, seemingly ready to assist him.
Sun Yazhu quickly held her back, "Don’t make things harder, otherwise your husband will have to be careful not to hurt you."
Lin Wanqing’s face was full of concern, "Can’t you see your husband now..."
Sun Yazhu looked at Xia Feng, who had unknowingly closed his eyes, her brows knitting slightly, relaxing quickly, "He must have his methods; we just need to trust him."
Li Qingxue had absorbed the Sword Heart entirely by this time, her eyes flashing with material-like Sword Qi gleams, while her Divine Sword emitted crisp sword sounds.
She looked in Xia Feng’s direction, intending to help but stopped seeing him closing his eyes.
"He’s using the sword beasts to practice."
"These beasts master no weak sword techniques, their moves ruthless and elusive."
"If he can survive their joint assault, he’ll surely gain significantly."
The women’s expressions turned understanding, their views of the sword beasts relaxing considerably.
Anything enabling their husband’s improvement was worth trying.
