59: Falling into a disadvantageous position

Mo Tianxiao was about to leave early when he was stopped by a voice.

"Fellow Daoist Mo! Come down for a spar?"

Su Muxue had jumped onto the Dao Discussion Platform at some unknown point. Dressed in plain white, she held the sword hilt with one hand, the blade resting against her arm, her gaze fixed on the person in the crowd who was still cracking melon seeds.

Hearing Su Muxue challenge the Senior Brother, the surrounding Disciples immediately made way, exposing Mo Tianxiao's figure.

"Senior Brother! The Fairy specifically asked to spar with you!"

"Senior Brother, could it be that the Fairy has taken a liking to you?"

"I heard that Miss Su is the younger sister of the Palace Revered Master of Jade Pool Heavenly Palace. If Senior Brother Mo forms a Dao Companion relationship with her, then our two forces will truly become in-laws."

"Senior Brother! Senior Brother! Senior Brother!"

The surrounding Disciples cheered, and the prestige of the Demonic Sect's Senior Brother immediately rose.

Even many Elders and people from Jade Pool Heavenly Palace were surprised that this Demonic Sect Senior Brother held such prestige in the hearts of the Disciples.

"Hahahahaha, why do I feel like Tianxiao has more Face than us Elders?"

The Grand Elder looked at Mo Tianxiao, who was highly regarded by many Disciples, his Face full of relief.

"Brother, don't you see whose Disciple Tianxiao is? He's our Sect Master's Personal Disciple, how could he be ordinary?"

The Second Elder on the side quickly praised him.

"Revered Master, Senior Brother is really amazing."

Nangong Wan, beside Yue Liuli, looked at her Senior Brother in the crowd, her eyes filled with adoration.

The Demonic Sect Disciples respected her mostly because of her high talent and being the Sect Master's Disciple, but everyone respected the Senior Brother out of genuine respect and affection.

Hearing this, Yue Liuli's lips curved slightly, revealing a beautiful smile.

"Hmph."

However, Su Muyao, not far away, let out a displeased snort.

Why could this guy make Sister Liuli smile? He's just an unremarkable fellow.

Yes, in Su Muyao's eyes, Mo Tianxiao was indeed unremarkable; he had no Heaven-Defying bone structure, no special Physique, and his talent was only slightly stronger than ordinary people.

Even with the Demonic Sect's Great Emperor Inheritance, the hope of becoming a Great Emperor in the future was extremely slim.

Why would Liuli take such a person as her Personal Disciple?

"However, his character should be acceptable, barely worthy of Little Xue."

After guessing that Mo Tianxiao might become her love rival, she had already decided to tie him to Little Xue, so he wouldn't interfere with her relationship with Sister Liuli.

At the same time.

Mo Tianxiao looked at Su Muxue, who was provoking him on the Dao Discussion Platform, feeling helpless.

This woman, after all, still hasn't let go of what happened back then. Wasn't it just a slap? Is she really that resentful?

"Since Fellow Daoist Su has challenged me, I will naturally accompany you."

Mo Tianxiao put away the remaining melon seeds in his hand and stepped into the air towards the Dao Discussion Platform, his Spirit Transformation Peak Aura fully exposed.

Considering that she didn't complain to Revered Master, he would just play along with her.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, do you need me to suppress my cultivation base to your Realm?"

Su Muxue's eyebrows raised slightly, seemingly provoking Mo Tianxiao, asking if he dared to fight her across Realms.

She knew his strength very well; if they were in the same Realm, she would likely not be his opponent, which had been proven in the Secret Realm back then.

But now, she was at the Peak of Profound Comprehension First Stage, while he was only in the Soul Transformation Stage.

Cross-Realm battles at a minor Realm difference were nothing for a Genius, but now they were crossing a major Realm. She was no ordinary person, and she didn't believe he could still defeat her.

She was, after all, the Young Palace Master of Jade Pool Heavenly Palace; she shouldn't be defeated by someone crossing a major Realm, right?

"No need."

Mo Tianxiao stood with his hands behind his back, looking calm.

Her little thoughts were written all over her Face, and he wouldn't be so cowardly as to lack the courage for a cross-Realm battle, it wasn't a life-and-death duel anyway.

"Senior Brother is awesome!"

"Senior Brother is going to fight across Realms? His opponent is the younger sister of the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace Revered Master. I heard she's unparalleled in the Dao of Sword and has few enemies. Can Senior Brother fight her?"

"What do you know? Senior Brother is our Demonic Sect's future Sect Head. Fighting across Realms is as easy as drinking water."

"Senior Brother, go for it! It's okay if you lose, you're still our most beloved Senior Brother!"

When the Demonic Sect Disciples saw their Senior Brother about to fight across Realms, they immediately went all out with their emotional support.

"Good! Fellow Daoist Mo, then I'll begin."

Su Muxue gripped her long sword, casually performed a sword flourish, and then attacked Mo Tianxiao.

Seeing this, Mo Tianxiao also drew an ordinary long sword and began to fight with her.

Since it was a spar, he naturally couldn't bully her with a Sacred Artifact.

Soon, Sword Qi began to crisscross on the Dao Discussion Platform, and their contest was about to erupt.

Compared to sword techniques, Mo Tianxiao's Sword Dao attainment was far inferior to Su Muxue's, which caused him to be at a disadvantage from the start, only barely able to exchange blows with her.

"Little Friend Su's Sword Dao talent is very strong. Her sword techniques are exquisite and superb, and her sword moves are extremely proficient and unpredictable. Ordinary Profound Comprehension Middle Stage Cultivators probably wouldn't be her match."

Many Elders of the Demonic Sect looked at the battle on the Dao Discussion Platform and began to comment.

"Tianxiao's sword moves are all extremely solid, and each sword strike is just right. Without an accident, he should have Cultivated most of the basic sword techniques to the Perfection Realm."

"It's just... why does Tianxiao only use basic sword forms? I remember there are some good sword techniques in the Scripture Pavilion, right?"

"Perhaps Tianxiao doesn't want to become a Sword Cultivator and just casually practiced a few moves."

Some Elders speculated that Mo Tianxiao hadn't learned profound sword techniques at all, as their Demonic Sect's Great Emperor Inheritance focused more on close combat, with battles being relatively violent and bloody.

Moreover, almost no Demonic Sect Disciples primarily Cultivate the Dao of Sword, except for the Sect Master.

"Tianxiao being able to entangle with her for so long in sword techniques is already considered exceptionally talented."

A beginner, stalemating a Sword Dao Revered Master who has been immersed in the Dao of Sword for many years for so long, relied entirely on his spiritual Qi, which was much more profound than ordinary people's.

"Mo Tianxiao, why don't you use that move from back then?"

Su Muxue frowned slightly. Although she could steadily suppress him in swordsmanship, she knew very well that he hadn't used his full strength.

She remembered that fierce armor very clearly.

"It's just a spar, no need for that."

Mo Tianxiao glanced at the notch on his long sword and said calmly.

In this battle, he had indeed been suppressed. Her cultivation base was higher than his, and her Sword Dao attainment far surpassed his.

Using the demon emperor armor would surely defeat her, but defeating her with the Great Emperor Inheritance would be an unfair victory, and she might not be convinced and would keep bothering him afterward.

"Then I'll make you use it!"

Su Muxue felt underestimated. Her opponent's Sword Dao attainment and cultivation base were both inferior to hers, so why was he so confident? Wasn't he just looking down on her?

With her long sword held before her chest, Su Muxue erupted with a sky-high Sword Intent. The sharp Aura rushed into the clouds, stirring up a sword wind that grazed the surrounding spectators, making everyone feel a slight sting on their skin.

"Thousand Sword Net!"
