Chapter 11

The disciples of the Myriad Sword Immortal Sect looked at the strange phenomena in the sky, all excitedly exclaiming.

"Master has broken through!"

"Reaching the Out-of-Shell realm, now even if we face the Sword Demon, we might not lose!"

"Breaking through on the eve of the duel, may the heavens protect us!"

The cultivation realms, from low to high, are divided into Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Out-of-Shell, Spirit Division, Body Fusion, Tribulation Transcendence, and Great Ascension.

Reaching the Nascent Soul realm is considered officially entering the ranks of the powerful, capable of founding a sect and dominating a region. Above the Nascent Soul realm are mostly old monsters who rarely come out.

For the entire night, the sky above the Myriad Sword Immortal Sect was filled with sword qi, pressing down so heavily that people could hardly breathe.

The old man stood there motionless, his body straight and sharp, looking like a sharp sword from a distance!

When the first ray of sunlight shone down, a black shadow stepped through the air.

"Breaking through at the last moment, interesting! Myriad Sword Immortal Sect, Bai Wuchen, your name is worthy of my remembrance."

The Sword Demon... has arrived!

Clang!

The black longsword originally embedded in the ground seemed to respond to some kind of summons, shooting up into the sky and flying to the Sword Demon's feet.

Bai Wuchen's face was solemn. He raised his hand and pointed, and the longsword behind him emerged, carrying him as he flew into the air.

His face showed little joy, even though he had broken through at the last moment, his chances of winning against the Sword Demon were not great.

"Riding the sword, chasing the moon!"

Bai Wuchen stepped on the longsword, transforming into a long rainbow, his body surrounded by sword qi. The sky seemed to be torn apart by Bai Wuchen, pointing straight at the Sword Demon.

The Sword Demon's eyes flashed with excitement, using his finger as a sword, he raised it high.

A huge black sword shadow appeared behind him, its sharp aura capable of destroying heaven and earth. Even the disciples of the Myriad Sword Immortal Sect watching from the sidelines felt their cheeks stinging.

"Severing the sky, devouring the earth!"

The two completely different sword intents collided, stirring the spiritual qi in the void, exploding in the air like a muffled thunder.

Then, no one could see the movements of the two, only the continuous appearance of shadows in the sky, countless sword intents darting through the air, piercing the surrounding mountains and trees, leaving them riddled with holes.

The intense battle did not last long. Accompanied by the Sword Demon's loud laugh, the Demon Sword under his feet shot out, its body enveloped in a layer of black, the black sword qi tyrannical and vicious, slashing towards Bai Wuchen!

Clang!

Bai Wuchen's Autumn Water Sword broke with a sound, a sword wound appeared on his chest, the wound black.

"Spit!"

Bai Wuchen spat out a mouthful of blood, his body falling from the sky.

The scroll also fell from his chest.

"Ha ha ha, my sword path is truly invincible in the world! Today, I will exterminate the entire Myriad Sword Immortal Sect!" The Sword Demon laughed maniacally.

Bai Wuchen's face was pale, looking at the fallen scroll, he smiled bitterly, "What a pity, if I could have studied for three more days, even if I only mastered one or two percent of the sword intent in the scroll, I wouldn't have lost."

"What did you say?" The Sword Demon roared, "No one in this world can surpass me in the sword path! No one!"

Following Bai Wuchen's gaze, he was struck as if by lightning.

A疯狂的剑意从他身上散发出来，周围的树木被直接拦腰斩断。

"这是什么剑意？世界上怎么会有这种剑意？假的，一定是假的！" 剑魔的脸色变得狰狞，抬手一指，那画卷立刻被搅成了碎片。

"你做什么？" 白落霜目眦欲裂，咆哮出声，看着画卷被毁，简直比杀了她还要难受。

剑魔双眼赤红，杀机锁定在万剑仙宗的所有人身上，阴冷道："这画卷中的剑意是歪门邪道！世界上不可能有剑意胜过我！画画的人在哪里，我要去杀了他！"

冰冷的杀意让所有人都如坠冰窖，全身僵硬。

白落霜脸色苍白，脑海中不由得浮现出那道云淡风轻的身影。

咬着唇走上前，冰冷地开口道："你自己才是歪门邪道！在我眼里你连画画之人都比不上，人家随手就能灭杀你！"

"你说什么？" 剑魔抬手一抓，白落霜的身体就浮在了半空中，喉咙被一种无形的力量掐着，"你知道他在哪里，带我过去，我去杀了他！"

"好，我带你过去！" 白落霜咬牙道。

她丝毫不担心李念凡的安危，在她眼里，剑魔连那条黑狗都打不过，唯一担心的就是害怕高人会责怪自己。

但现在她已经别无选择，若是惹了高人不快，大不了以死谢罪！

如果李念凡知道白落霜带人向自己杀来，一定会大骂一声坑爹，然后在第一时间选择逃跑。

……

剑魔抓着白落霜御剑飞来，白无尘夫妇则在后面追赶。

他们的速度远超白落霜三人，仅仅半个时辰，就来到了李念凡的四合院前。

剑魔眼中带着嗜血的光芒，冷然道："我剑魔来了，里面的人给我滚出来！"

然而，回应他的是一片沉默。

白落霜的心沉到了谷底，俏脸煞白一片。

她想过很多种可能，甚至想到了前辈会见死不救，但唯独没有想到前辈居然不在！

白落霜高声问道："李公子，你在家吗？"

依旧无人回应。

果然不在。

接下来剑魔绝对会暴起杀人。

不管是白落霜还是白无尘，心中都涌出一股凄然。

"哈哈哈，这就是你所谓的高人？看来是收到我要来的消息，吓得躲起来了！" 剑魔得意地大笑。

"缩头乌龟跑了，那我就毁了你的住处！"

他冷冷一笑，手中握着坠魔剑，天地间的灵气汇聚成一道百米长的黑色剑芒。

剑芒微微倾斜，向四合院斩落而下！

这一剑，可以将四合院一分为二！

"你住手！" 白落霜焦急地大吼，急得眼泪都要出来了。

她带着剑魔来到这里已经满心愧疚，如果这里真的被剑魔摧毁，她真不知道以后该如何面对李念凡。

"啾——"

就在剑芒即将落下的瞬间，一道高昂的鸟叫声响起。

悬挂在屋前的那枚玉佩散发出赤红色的光芒，照耀在黑色剑芒之上！

仅仅片刻时间，那黑色剑芒如同冰雪遇火般，迅速消融于天地之间。

玉佩上的红芒依旧没有消散，一个巨大的翅膀从玉佩中伸出，双翼一展，全身燃烧着红色火焰的巨鸟腾空而起，金色的羽毛伴随着熊熊烈火让人难以直视，所过之处，在空中留下一道道火焰路径。

"这，这是……凤凰？！"

---

The sword intent from him spread out, cutting the surrounding trees in half.

"What kind of sword intent is this? How can there be such a sword intent in the world? Fake, it must be fake!" The Sword Demon's face turned grotesque, and he raised his hand, pointing at the scroll, which was immediately shredded into pieces.

"What are you doing?" Bai Luoshuang's eyes were bloodshot, and she roared, feeling more pain from the destruction of the scroll than if she had been killed herself.

The Sword Demon's eyes were red with rage, and his killing intent locked onto everyone in the Myriad Sword Immortal Sect. He said coldly, "The sword intent in this scroll is a heretical path! No one in the world can have a sword intent that surpasses mine! Where is the person who drew this? I will go and kill him!"

The cold killing intent made everyone feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their bodies stiff.

Bai Luoshuang's face was pale, and the image of that calm and composed figure floated in her mind.

Biting her lip, she stepped forward and said coldly, "You are the one who is a heretical path! In my eyes, you can't even compare to the person who drew this. He could easily kill you with a casual move!"

"What did you say?" The Sword Demon raised his hand, and Bai Luoshuang's body floated in the air, her throat gripped by an invisible force. "You know where he is, take me there, and I will go and kill him!"

"Fine, I'll take you there!" Bai Luoshuang gritted her teeth.

She was not at all worried about Li Nianfan's safety. In her eyes, the Sword Demon couldn't even defeat that black dog. Her only concern was that the high person might blame her.

But now she had no choice. If she offended the high person, she would atone with her life!

If Li Nianfan knew that Bai Luoshuang was leading people to kill him, he would definitely curse her and choose to run away immediately.

...

The Sword Demon grabbed Bai Luoshuang and flew towards the place, with Bai Wuchen and his wife chasing behind.

Their speed far exceeded that of Bai Luoshuang and the others. In just half an hour, they arrived at Li Nianfan's courtyard.

The Sword Demon's eyes glowed with a bloodthirsty light, and he said coldly, "I, the Sword Demon, have arrived. The person inside, come out!"

However, there was only silence in response.

Bai Luoshuang's heart sank to the bottom, her face pale.

She had considered many possibilities, even the possibility that the senior would not help, but she never thought the senior would not be there at all!

Bai Luoshuang called out loudly, "Young Master Li, are you at home?"

There was still no response.

Indeed, he was not there.

The Sword Demon would definitely start killing soon.

Both Bai Luoshuang and Bai Wuchen felt a deep sense of sorrow.

"Ha ha ha, this is your so-called high person? It seems he received the news of my arrival and was scared into hiding!" The Sword Demon laughed triumphantly.

"The coward ran away, so I will destroy his residence!"

He smiled coldly, holding the Demon Sword, and the spiritual qi in the sky converged into a hundred-meter-long black sword beam.

The sword beam tilted slightly and slashed down towards the courtyard!

This one strike could split the courtyard in two!

"Stop!" Bai Luoshuang shouted anxiously, her eyes welling up with tears.

She already felt guilty for bringing the Sword Demon here, and if the place was destroyed, she didn't know how she could face Li Nianfan in the future.

"Chirp—"

Just as the sword beam was about to land, a high-pitched bird call echoed.

The jade pendant hanging in front of the house emitted a crimson light, shining on the black sword beam!

In just a moment, the black sword beam melted away like ice meeting fire, dissipating into the sky.

The crimson light from the jade pendant did not fade, and a huge wing emerged from it. The wings spread, and a giant bird with red flames burning all over its body rose into the air. Its golden feathers and blazing flames were blinding, leaving trails of fire in the sky as it flew.

"This, this is... a Phoenix?!"
