238: Chapter 238: Tensions Rise, Sword Immortal Dragon Lord!

Actually, it wasn't just Zhou Mi of the Sea of Literature, the bone-demon Bai Ying, and the other Throne-level Great Demons on the opposite side who felt shocked by this single sword strike from Xiao Mo.

Even those on Young Master Yang's side were equally astonished.

At this very moment, True Dragon Wang Zhu, the Golden Armored Deity, and the others all looked at Xiao Mo with eyes full of shock.

It was only then that everyone suddenly recalled that Xiao Mo had just said he had come here after slaying Mingyue Haocai with his sword.

And they only realized it once Xiao Mo arrived and stopped in front of Young Master Yang.

Perhaps the two ancient deities, as well as the Tender Daoist and Wang Zhu, those two in the Ascension Realm, had sensed a hint of it beforehand, but they couldn't have stopped him at all.

If that ancient Sword Immortal had truly wanted to kill Young Master Yang at that time, perhaps a single simple sword strike would have been enough.

However, not only did this Wilderness World Sword Immortal not attack, but for some unknown reason, he had voluntarily acknowledged Young Master Yang as his Young Master.

As for this matter, perhaps only Ruan Xiu and Li Liu had some guesses in their hearts.

Sikong Ruxue, who considered her own attainments in the Dao of the Sword to be quite exceptional, felt her gaze dim slightly.

She took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently.

"Sikong Ruxue, this person is an ancient Sword Immortal from ten thousand years ago; you don't need to compare yourself to him, you don't!"

This female Sword Immortal tried her best to convince herself in her heart not to be affected by that heaven-shaking sword strike from just now.

For Cultivators who practice Qi Refining, especially Sword Cultivators, seeing many grand scenes isn't necessarily always a good thing.

Since ancient times, many gifted young Sword Cultivators have been startled by overly shocking sword techniques; delaying their cultivation would be the best-case scenario, but the most terrifying outcome is damage to their Sword Heart!

Of course, it also has to do with those Sword Cultivators not having a sufficiently firm Sword Heart.

Conversely, the Sword Cultivators of the Great Wall of Sword Qi always see Great Sword Immortals strike from the city wall several times from childhood to adulthood, and combined with their personal instruction, the impact is minimal.

Unlike this female Sword Immortal who came out of Guan Dao Temple; ever since she began practicing the sword under her Master, the Taoist Nun Wangsun, she had almost never left Guan Dao Temple.

On the rare occasions she went out for training, other Cultivators who saw the Taoist nun robes of Guan Dao Temple on Sikong Ruxue mostly kept their distance out of respect.

It could be said that although she had been cultivating for over twenty years, she had never truly experienced life and death.

Usually, watching her elders engage in Sword Inquiry was all for the purpose of mutual refinement of the Dao of the Sword, with very little killing intent.

Whether it was the great battle between the Great Wall of Sword Qi and the Wilderness World not long ago.

Or just now, when Young Master Yang commanded the deities to slay two Throne-level Great Demons.

These were all events in Sikong Ruxue's life that could be written in bold, heavy strokes.

Just now, Xiao Mo's sword strike had not restrained its Aura in the slightest, and for that instant, Sikong Ruxue's Sword Heart had indeed trembled.

Fortunately, she immediately recited a Daoist incantation to steady her mind.

When Sikong Ruxue looked up, she was astonished to find that Young Master Yang, who was closest to that ancient Sword Immortal, seemed unaffected, aside from a look of surprise in his eyes.

"This... how is this possible? My own Sword Heart was affected, yet seeing such a stunning sword strike, Young Master Yang actually has this expression?"

"Moreover, when Mingyue Haocai was slain just now, Young Master Yang seemed to have the same expression, as if he had already known the outcome, but seeing it with his own eyes still made him inevitably surprised!"

Sikong Ruxue began to lower her head and mutter to herself.

Just as this female Sword Immortal said, Young Master Yang had never doubted Xiao Mo's swordsmanship.

However, seeing the sword strike Xiao Mo unleashed from such close proximity, he still felt somewhat surprised.

This sword strike was simply too fast!

"Xiao Mo, well done!" Young Master Yang couldn't help but praise.

Xiao Mo just smiled slightly, as if he had done an incredibly ordinary small task, as easy as having tea after a meal.

The Great Demon Yao Jia, having had an arm severed, retreated to the very back with a deathly pale face, but did not rush to leave.

Fei Fei, Bai Ying, and Huang Ying, these three Throne-level Great Demons, exchanged a glance and simultaneously looked at Zhou Mi of the Sea of Literature at the very front.

Wenhai did not look at them, but narrowed his eyes, staring at Young Master Yang.

Young Master Yang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, meeting his gaze without the slightest hint of cowardice.

As the saying goes, one might lose the fight, but one cannot lose the momentum.

Moreover, if both sides were to truly start fighting right now, it was not yet certain who would win or lose!

Young Master Yang turned his head to look at Ruan Xiu and Li Liu.

The two of them had joined forces to trap the Great Demon Yang Zhi just now; it looked easy, but in reality, they had overdrawn some of their strength.

At this moment, both women's faces were slightly pale.

However, Li Liu gritted her silver teeth and said, "Young Master Yang, I can still fight!"

Ruan Xiu also wanted to speak, but was stopped by Young Master Yang's gaze, "No need to say more, you two should rest well first."

He looked at Sikong Ruxue and said in a serious voice, "Miss Ruxue, although we had some misunderstandings before."

"But if we really have to fight later, please protect them both."

"Rest assured, once I am done dealing with the matters of the Wilderness World, I will definitely go to Guan Dao Temple with you."

Hearing this, Sikong Ruxue was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted.

She had originally wanted to refuse, but opened her mouth and said nothing, instead nodding involuntarily.

Sikong Ruxue stared at this man carrying a sword on his back, as if wanting to see some secret on him.

"Facing five Throne-level Great Demons, and with the high probability of even more Wilderness World Great Demons approaching, is he actually not retreating yet?"

For some reason, in the heart of this female Sword Immortal, she couldn't help but start worrying for the man carrying the sword before her.

Sword Immortal Xiao Mo, The Executioner, The Resonator, as well as the Tender Daoist and True Dragon Wang Zhu, all stood beside Young Master Yang at the same time!

As for the two women, Empress Bai Murong and He Xiaoliang, back when Zhou Mi of the Sea of Literature and the group of Wilderness World Great Demons appeared.

Young Master Yang had immediately used his mind to tell the Water Dragon Tan Xue to take the two women and leave this place immediately.

Now, Tan Xue was already in the Immortal Realm and had absorbed about twenty percent of the water fortune of the Yeluo River.

Unless she was unlucky enough to encounter a Great Demon in the Ascension Realm, she was an invincible existence within the Yeluo River.

As for what came next, Young Master Yang instructed Tan Xue to wait in the Yeluo River for his command on when to light that stick of incense!

Huang Zhong and Xiao Qing were placed by Young Master Yang into the Crystal Grotto-Heaven.

The Golden Armored Deity in the Immortal Realm also stood guard beside Li Liu and Ruan Xiu.

Daggers were drawn on both sides!

Xiao Mo narrowed his eyes and asked seriously, "Young Master, should we make a move?"

"Except for that guy named Wenhai who is a bit troublesome, the other four Great Demons are nothing to fear."

"However, if I strike with full force, it will be very difficult for me to look after Young Master's safety."

Hearing this, Young Master Yang instantly felt a toothache.

To be honest, his side was not in their peak state right now.

Conversely, in the Wilderness World, except for the Great Demon Yao Jia, the other four Throne-level Great Demons had not yet made a move.

Young Master Yang gritted his teeth and looked at Xiao Mo, "How much certainty do you have?"

"Seventy percent!" Xiao Mo answered earnestly.

Young Master Yang's pupils constricted slightly as he was about to make up his mind.

Since he would have to go to Tuoyue Mountain for Sword Inquiry sooner or later, he might as well eliminate some of the stumbling blocks right now!

However, just at this moment, two more powerful Auras came from the direction of the Great Wall of Sword Qi!

But they were not Sword Immortals from the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

The first person was none other than the Bearded Ranger Liu Cha.

As for the other one, it was just a dilapidated robe with nothing inside it, only surging Sword Qi raging between heaven and earth!

It was the Sword Immortal Dragon Lord, who had gone to Tuoyue Mountain for Sword Inquiry with Grand Sword Immortal Chen Qingdu ten thousand years ago!
