Chapter 1347: Demon Sword Spirit

Li Jianlan's flying speed was extremely fast. Before Zhou Yiqiao could react, he was tortured by the pressure caused by his high speed and passed out.

When they woke up again, Li Jianlan had already led the two of them across the border between Zhongzhou and Yongzhou and landed next to a dilapidated village.

Li Jianlan leaned against a towering tree, drank the wine in his hand, burped contentedly, and then looked at Zhou Yiqiao who had just woken up, and Li Mubai who was still in a coma beside Zhou Yiqiao.

"You were able to wake up first, which makes you much better than this kid."

Zhou Yiqiao rubbed his temples, forced himself to sit up, and looked around. He saw that the village was in ruins, overgrown with weeds, and looked desolate. It seemed that no one had lived there for many years.

He didn't bother to think too much, he stood up and bowed to Li Jianlan.

"Senior, you are too kind. I have just practiced the body-building exercises. My physical strength is higher than that of ordinary people. It is normal for me to wake up early."

"Brother Li is far superior to me in swordsmanship, and there is a lot I can learn from him."

Li Jianlan laughed, and somehow a mini gourd appeared in his hand, which he threw to Zhou Yiqiao.

"Do you think I don't know about the competition you had with him several years ago?"

"It's said that unless it's a life-and-death fight, we can't see his full strength, but this kid was one step behind and lost to you."

"Come, try the wine I brewed these days using the wine bug."

Zhou Yiqiao took the mini gourd. Although the gourd was small, it was heavy and exuded an enticing aroma of wine.

He carefully pulled out the cork, took a sip, and felt a warm current flowing through his body instantly, sweeping away his fatigue and dizziness, and lifting his spirits.

"Good wine! Your craftsmanship is truly amazing."

Zhou Yiqiao exclaimed sincerely.

Li Jianlan laughed heartily, feeling very happy that someone could praise his wine-making skills.

"good!"

He patted Zhou Yiqiao's shoulder, looked at Li Mubai who was gradually waking up, put away the wine jug, and the indifference on his face finally faded a little.

"Let's go, let's solve your problems as soon as possible, so I can go back and drink earlier."

Before the two of them could prepare, they felt an invisible force grabbing their collars, leaping up, and taking them into the clouds again.

Fortunately, Li Jianlan took into consideration that Li Mubai had just woken up and was still weak, so he controlled the flying speed within a range that all three of them could bear.

The three of them walked forward, passed through a large desolate village, and came to the edge of a forest shrouded in darkness.

In the forest, there were gusts of cold wind and the silence was frightening.

The trees grew twisted and not a single light could penetrate between the branches and leaves. Only the occasional sound of wind added a touch of ominousness to the dead silence.

Li Jianlan stopped and frowned. His eyes penetrated the layers of fog, as if he was looking for something.

Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai also sensed something unusual here. They each took out their magic swords and looked around vigilantly.

"This is it."

Li Jianlan's voice was low, with a hint of unquestionable seriousness.

"The female cultivator who is possessed by the magic sword spirit is deep in this forest."

As soon as he finished speaking, a shrill scream suddenly came from the silent forest, like the cry of a night owl, piercing people's hearts.

Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai's faces turned pale instantly. They had never heard such a horrifying sound. It seemed that it could penetrate the soul directly and make people shudder.

"Follow me."

Li Jianlan's face turned grim, and he gave an instruction in a low voice.

Then, a faint light gradually appeared around his body, forming a protective shield that enveloped the three people.

Then he took the lead and stepped into the forest.

The three of them went deeper into the forest, and the scene around them became even more bizarre.

The trees were covered with dry vines that looked like twisted snakes, and the ground was littered with broken bones, both human and beast.

The smell of decay in the air became thicker and thicker, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed past them at a speed so fast that it was almost impossible to catch.

Li Jianlan's eyes flashed, and the wine gourd in his hand instantly turned into a sharp sword. With a flash of sword light, the black shadow was cut into two pieces.

Yi Qiao and Li Mubai could then see clearly that the black shadow was actually a monster that had been corroded by evil spirits. Its body had already decayed and its eyes were flashing with a faint green light.

"Be careful, the monsters here are all contaminated by demonic energy."

Li Jianlan reminded, his eyes becoming sharper.

They continued to move forward, encountering more monsters and strange phenomena along the way.

Some trees stretched out their branches to attack them like living things; the ground suddenly cracked and sprayed out corrosive liquids.

Fortunately, Li Jianlan's strength is unfathomable. He can always find problems and solve them quickly before Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai can react.

Finally, they came to the center of the forest.

In the center of the forest, a strange scene came into view.

Many towering trees had been burned, leaving only charred trunks and scattered ashes, with an open space in the middle.

A barefoot woman stood in the middle of the clearing.

Her body was surrounded by a thick black air, through which her graceful figure and distorted face could be vaguely seen.

Her eyes were completely occupied by the black mist, and all that was left was filled with resentment and hatred, which seemed to devour everything around them.

An invisible sword was floating above her head, with countless blood-red lines wrapped around the sword. It looked like a ferocious monster that was roaring with its mouth open.

"It's her."

"The magic sword spirit has completely controlled her body. In just a few months, her cultivation has increased to the realm of refining emptiness."

Li Jianlan slowly drew out the magic sword from his waist and spoke to Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai.

"I will be responsible for suppressing the magic sword, and you two will take action to eliminate the magic sword spirit."

Before he finished speaking, the magic sword in his hand seemed to sense something and began to tremble slightly, making a low humming sound.

He waved his hand lightly and unlocked the seal on the magic sword. In an instant, a torrent of demonic energy rose into the sky and swept across the entire space.

The power of the magic sword was like a wild beast that had been released from the ancient times. Under the erosion of the magic energy, the already charred tree trunks began to slowly disintegrate and turned into ashes.

Li Jianlan's figure seemed particularly small under the pressure of the magic sword, but his expression remained relaxed.

He put the magic sword aside, jumped out of the open space, and leaned against a charred tree trunk. As if the upcoming battle had nothing to do with him, he closed his eyes and rested.

Zhou Yiqiao looked at Li Mubai, and seeing that the latter's eyes were so gloomy that tears seemed to be dripping out of them, he knew that if he didn't attack the sword spirit of the devil's sword, Li Mubai would be the first to attack Li Jianlan who was watching the show.

"Brother Li, I will go and test it first, and you will support me from the side."

After he finished speaking, Zhou Yiqiao didn't wait for Li Mubai to hear him or not. He disappeared from the spot in a flash.

When Zhou Yiqiao's figure appeared again, he was already in mid-air.

The Dusk Sword burst into a dazzling green light, and the sound of wind and thunder was loud. With a swing of the sword, the green sword energy was like a dragon emerging from the sea, with a sharp scream that broke through the air, and it went straight to the female cultivator who was entangled in the evil spirit.

The evil energy around the female cultivator seemed to have its own spirit. It sensed the threat and quickly condensed into a shield to block the sword energy.

However, Zhou Yiqiao's sword energy was so fierce that the demonic shield only lasted for a moment before being torn apart by the sword energy and shattered.

The sword energy continued to move forward towards the female cultivator without slowing down.

Black mist rolled in the female cultivator's eyes, revealing a hint of sarcasm. She formed seals with her hands, and the magic sword above her head shook violently, releasing a blood-red sword light, which collided with Zhou Yiqiao's sword energy.

The two powerful forces met in mid-air, causing a deafening roar, and the entire forest seemed to be shaking.

Zhou Yiqiao only felt a huge force coming from the direction of the collision of the two forces, and his body flew backwards involuntarily.

Seeing this, Li Mubai no longer bothered to express his dissatisfaction to Li Jianlan. He flashed and joined the battle.

His magic sword, Xingchen, shone with a cold silver light, like a meteorite falling into the dust, and struck the female cultivator fiercely.

The sword energy burst out, and a deep wound that could be seen to the bone was left on the female cultivator's chest, and a trickle of blood flowed out.

She groaned, and her curvy body suddenly became extremely bloated. It seemed as if countless monsters were wriggling beneath her body. Her skin was swollen to the point of almost cracking, and it emitted an unbearable stench.

The battle reached a climax in just a few breaths.

The evil energy on the female cultivator's body was rolling like boiling ink. Under the influence of the evil energy, her body began to become twisted and deformed. The countless evil spirits sealed in her body were trying to break through the constraints of her flesh.

Zhou Yiqiao steadied his body and swung his sword again. The sword light was like a violent storm, wave after wave, constantly attacking the female cultivator's defense.

His sword intent was unpredictable and attached to the sword energy. Every sword carried an unpredictable power, leaving the female cultivator with no power to fight back.

The female cultivator's body was covered with countless wounds, and dirty blood was flowing continuously.

Li Mubai's attack was even more violent. His magic sword Xingchen stirred up the power of the stars, like a galaxy hanging upside down, pouring down madly and continuously bombarding the female cultivator's body.

Under the joint attack of the two, the female cultivator began to look a little exhausted.

Although her body could recover quickly under the influence of the demonic energy, the methods used by the two were too fierce, and her recovery speed gradually could not keep up with the speed of destruction.

However, the power of the Demon Sword Spirit should not be underestimated.

The female cultivator who was forced into a desperate situation suddenly let out a sharp roar, and then her body shook violently, and the surrounding demonic energy rushed towards her like a tide.

The phantom formed by the spirit of the magic sword above her head began to vibrate violently at the same time. A breathtaking pressure descended from the sky, causing the atmosphere of the entire battlefield to solidify once again.

Li Jianlan seemed to be woken up. He raised his hand to scratch his cheek and slowly opened his eyes a little.
