Chapter 1261 Arrival of a Second Demonic Cultivator

Fully set on using the demonic cultivator for as long as possible to refine his sword soul and comprehend the Dao of the Sword through combat, Xuan Hao didn't use anything other than his sword to fight. Giving the demonic cultivator the opportunity to fight back to some extent.

Although the difference in strength between both of them was still quite obvious and the demonic cultivator wouldn't be able to hold on forever, it at least gave the demonic cultivator enough hope to continue fighting back with all of strength.

Boom-boom-boom!

In the end, the battle dragged on for the next two hours, as Xuan Hao and the old demonic cultivator continued clashing with each other without a clear winner in sight.

The main reason behind it being that the terrifying physical body of a demonic cultivator was far more resilient compared to a normal cultivator. Allowing the old demonic cultivator to continue fighting with his full strength even though his entire body had been covered in large wounds that would long since have killed and ordinary cultivator at the Dao Seed Realm.

This should be far enough… Now I just have to wait for that senior to show up.

At the same time, unknown to Xuan Hao who was focused on refining his sword soul, the old demonic cultivator had slowly dragged their battle in the direction of a place that he knew would be sensed by one of the more powerful demonic cultivators guarding the outer regions of the Frozen Wasteland.

Rumble~!

And almost in response to the thoughts of the old demonic cultivator, a loud rumbling sound echoed out from afar only a short time later, as a terrifying divine sense far stronger than his own descended upon the place where he and Xuan Hao were fighting with each other.

Making even Xuan Hao, who was fully focused on refining his sword soul look up with a hint of surprise on his face. Clearly not having expected such a strong demonic cultivator to appear only a few hours into his fight with the old demonic cultivator.

Not just because of the fact that demonic cultivators at that level of strength shouldn't be easy to come by, but also because they were still in the outer parts of the Frozen Wasteland where such powerful demonic cultivators normally wouldn't be around.

Even encountering the old demonic cultivator at the Demon Lord Realm was surprising. Not to mention another even stronger demonic cultivator around the same location. Novel Fire - novelfire.net

I guess it's because of the recent plans of these demonic cultivators that more of them are around the outskirts of the Frozen Wasteland now…

Thinking this to himself as he locked on to the demonic cultivator rushing towards the place where he and the old demonic cultivator were fighting, Xuan Hao decided to not drag out his fight with the old demonic cultivator any longer now that a much better whetstone had presented itself-

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

And without showing any mercy, he directly used the Dao of the Sword in combination with the Dao of Illusions and the Dao of Space to instantly send out hundreds of powerful sword attacks that appeared all around the old demonic cultivator in a split second.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Not even giving the old demonic cultivator any time to react, as he was forced to defend against the hundreds of swords that descended the next second. Unable to tell which of them were real and which of them were just illusions created by Xuan Hao to deliberately confuse him and make him waste his strength attacking nothing but air-

Ptsh-! Ptsh-! Ptsh-!

However, this did not last for long, as the first few sword attacks soon broke through his defense and pierced into his body before the sword intent laying dormant inside of them exploded and began destroying his body from the inside, something Xuan Hao had deliberately not done during their past exchange, as it would undoubtedly have killed him by now given their difference in strength.

Unfortunately for the old demonic cultivator, Xuan Hao no longer needed to use him as a whetstone to improve his Dao of the Sword and sword soul any longer. Meaning that Xuan Hao had no intention of going easy on him.

"Wha- How?"

In the end, the old demonic cultivator could only let out a few confused words as he looked towards Xuan Hao filled with disbelief. Not understanding why his opponent had held back against him for so long and only killed him when his savior was about to show up.

Is it perhaps because he has some sort of grudge against demonic cultivators and decided to deliberately give me hope before shattering it at the last moment?

As he thought about this while the sword intent tore through his body from the inside arrived at his dantian, the demonic cultivator closed his eyes painfully as the sword intent finally reached his soul and tore it apart. Killing him just as the stronger demonic cultivator appeared at the horizon. Giving the old demonic cultivator one last glimpse of his would-be savior before he departed from the world of the living.

In the darkness that had descended upon the Frozen Wasteland over the past two hours, a figure cloaked in an eerie robe that seemed to have been woven from human skin, flew silently towards them at a neither fast nor slow pace. Obviously not caring the slightest bit about the death of the old demonic cultivator.

"Hm? A demonic cultivator comparable to the Middel Stage of the Dao Seed Realm…" Seeing this demonic figure at the same time as the old demonic cultivator who had just passed away, Xuan Hao could not help narrowing his eyes as a slight smile made its way to his lips.

Indeed, this demonic cultivator was a far better whetstone compared to the one that he had just killed. Especially considering that he would not just be able to use his Dao of the Sword and sword soul but would be able to use his full strength without having to worry about accidentally killing the other party.
