Chapter 2252 Sword Domain, One Sword Kill

The person who arrived was indeed the carefree swordsman Li Xiaoyao.

In ancient times, there was a famous sword immortal in the Free and Unfettered Sword Sect!

The last time Chen Xuan met the Carefree Sword Immortal, Chen Xuan's cultivation level was only at the Earth Immortal realm.

Now, Chen Xuan is only one step away from the Great Perfection of the late-stage Celestial Immortal realm.

Seeing Chen Xuan's cultivation level improve so quickly, Li Xiaoyao was also surprised.

"I never imagined that when we meet again, you would have already advanced to the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm. Not bad!"

Li Xiaoyao smiled and nodded.

Upon seeing this, Bai Zhi quickly smiled and said, "Master, you've finally arrived. If you had come any later, Junior Brother Chen and I would probably have perished here."

Chen Xuan was stunned.

He quickly understood what Bai Zhi meant.

He inherited the Free and Unfettered Sword Technique of the Free and Unfettered Immortal Sect.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with addressing Bai Zhi as a fellow disciple.

However, judging from Li Xiaoyao's expression, he doesn't seem to object.

"Something came up and I was held up a bit. Sorry!"

Li Xiaoyao stood with his hands behind his back.

Although his words were meant as an explanation, Bai Zhi could tell that he was speaking to Chen Xuan, not to him, the disciple.

“Senior has his own matters to attend to, and we are already deeply grateful that you could come and lend us a hand,” Chen Xuan said respectfully.

"Hehe, there's no need for such formalities between us. When I passed on the Free and Unfettered Sword Technique to you, I naturally hoped that the legacy of our Free and Unfettered Sword Sect would not be lost in my hands! Since that's the case, there's already some connection between us."

Li Xiaoyao smiled and waved his hand.

Soon, he looked at Chen Xuan and smiled, "I've never asked you before, but would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Chen Xuan was stunned!

Li Xiaoyao was a renowned sword immortal from ancient times.

Even now, his cultivation level has not yet recovered to its peak.

But Chen Xuan could tell that Li Xiaoyao's current strength was definitely extraordinary.

He has even reached the level of a half-step Great Luo Golden Immortal.

He has the opportunity to advance to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm at any time, as long as he is willing!

If he could have such a powerful being protect him, Chen Xuan would never have to fear any powerful beings in the True Immortal Realm again.

"willing!"

Chen Xuan quickly agreed with a smile.

"Alright. From now on, you are my personal disciple, Li Xiaoyao! However, you already received your apprenticeship gift a long time ago. This time, I won't give you any more."

Li Xiaoyao smiled nonchalantly.

His frankness made Chen Xuan somewhat embarrassed.

"Thank you, Master. Over the years, I have achieved what I have today thanks to the Free and Unfettered Sword Technique bestowed upon me by you," Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"Alright, we can catch up later. I'll deal with this devil for you guys first!"

Li Xiaoyao smiled slightly.

When his gaze fell upon the soul of the Xuan Yin Old Demon Lord, his expression turned extremely cold.

Chen Xuan could tell that Li Xiaoyao was truly intent on killing him at this moment.

"Li Xiaoyao of the Free and Unfettered Sword Sect? Do you recognize this old man?"

The gaze of the Xuan Yin Old Demon Lord swept over Li Xiaoyao.

He quickly revealed a ferocious expression.

Li Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes slightly.

His gaze lingered on the old demon Xuan Ying's soul for a long time before his cold voice finally rang out.

"Back then, it was you who led a demon army to conquer our Free and Unfettered Sword Sect, causing countless deaths and injuries to our sect!"

"Back then, if I hadn't been entangled and unable to escape, your plan to attack the Free and Unfettered Sword Sect would definitely not have succeeded!"

"Mysterious Yin Old Demon! So many years have passed, I thought you had completely perished. I never expected that you would still have a remnant of your main soul in this world."

"Since you've unfortunately run into me this time, I don't mind letting you die again!"

At this point, Li Xiaoyao's voice turned extremely cold.

The ancient longsword he carried on his back emitted a piercing sword cry.

hum!

The void trembled slightly, but the longsword did not emerge from its sheath.

Yet a sharp, icy sword intent rapidly spread from the void.

Standing behind Li Xiaoyao, Chen Xuan felt his heart pound with fear.

At this moment, he clearly felt that the Dragon-Seeking Sword in his hand was extremely excited.

"This... Master's strength is truly formidable. He hasn't even drawn his sword yet, but he can already excite my natal sword so much."

"If he really makes a move, even a half-step Great Luo Golden Immortal might not be his match!"

At that moment, even the Xuan Yin Old Demon Lord Soul, who was facing Li Xiaoyao from afar, revealed a look of shock.

"I've long known that your skill in swordsmanship is extraordinary. Today, being able to personally experience the techniques of the Carefree Sword Immortal, this old man's trip has not been in vain!"

The Demon Lord of Xuan Yin grinned menacingly.

His entire body was filled with surging demonic energy.

Soon, a suit of jet-black armor covered his entire body.

This suit of armor is adorned with countless striking, ancient runes that complement each other.

A terrifying ancient aura emanated from it.

Even from a great distance, Chen Xuan could feel the terrifying aura emanating from this dark armor.

"This is the true Xuan Yin Battle Armor?"

Chen Xuan's pupils shrank, and he said in shock.

Li Xiaoyao nodded slightly.

"That's right, this is the real Xuan Yin Armor. However, the Xuan Yin Armor he is using now is not even half as powerful as it was at its peak."

"One sword strike is enough to deal with this level of Xuan Yin armor!"

Li Xiaoyao's tone was very calm.

For someone like him, who is only half a step away from becoming a Great Immortal, it seems like he was just stating the truth.

The more nonchalant he appeared, the angrier the Xuan Yin Old Demon Lord became.

"Li Xiaoyao, do you really think I'm made of clay? One sword? You're really arrogant!"

The Xuan Yin Old Demon Lord's soul was not to be outdone.

After making a sarcastic remark, he rubbed his hands together vigorously.

A dense surge of demonic energy rapidly appeared in his palm.

It quickly condensed into a dark spear and thrust it towards Li Xiaoyao.

boom!

Wherever the dark spear passed, the void collapsed rapidly.

Centered on the Xuan Yin Old Demon, all the power of rules within a radius of dozens of miles was stirred up by the dark spear at this moment.

A terrifying gust of wind formed and swept towards Li Xiaoyao.

Standing behind Li Xiaoyao, Chen Xuan immediately felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

He clearly sensed that if he were caught in the gale...

It will vanish into thin air in an instant.

"So strong!"

Chen Xuan was secretly shocked.

Li Xiaoyao showed no fear.

hum!

With a thought, the ancient sword behind Li Xiaoyao emitted a clear sword ringing sound.

Soon, a simple and unadorned sword light emerged from the flying sword behind Li Xiaoyao.

Immediately afterwards, the flying sword, under Li Xiaoyao's unremarkable control, pierced directly at the incoming terrifying attack.

Wow!

The sword light emanating from the flying sword, set against the backdrop of the terrifying gale, resembled a flickering candle flame, as if it were about to be extinguished at any moment.

But the flying sword that Li Xiaoyao activated cut through the wind without stopping at all.

Wherever the flying sword passed, the entire void was instantly sliced ​​apart.

The incredibly powerful, whirlwind seemed to have been sliced ​​in two by Li Xiaoyao's sword.

The incredibly violent attack seemed to be sealed off by a mysterious force, unable to disperse any further.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan and Bai Zhi were both horrified.

"So powerful! What methods did Master use?"

"I don't know. Although I am also a sword immortal, I can only sense that a terrifying sword intent was just released!"

The two were secretly alarmed.

With Bai Zhi and Chen Xuan's cultivation and knowledge, they couldn't possibly see the methods Li Xiaoyao was using at this moment.

But they could clearly see that the flying sword quickly met the incoming black spear.

puff!

When the flying sword and the spear met, they made only a faint sound, and the dark spear shattered into pieces in an instant.

However, the momentum of the flying sword did not diminish in the slightest.

Still under Li Xiaoyao's control, it moved forward at a steady pace.

"This……"

Upon seeing this, the Xuan Yin Old Demon Lord's pupils suddenly contracted.

A deep sense of lingering fear quickly surfaced on his face.

As a powerful expert at the late-stage Golden Immortal realm, Xuan Ying Lao Mo clearly sensed that the terrifying attack unleashed by Li Xiao Yao's sword was far beyond his ability to withstand.

"Sword Domain? Li Xiaoyao, are you about to advance to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm?"

The old demon master of Xuan Yin was shocked.

Sword Domain!

This is one of the essential methods for sword cultivators to advance to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Of all the myriad methods of Taoism, only one realm is invincible!

Only those sword cultivators who control the sword domain are the true powerhouses.

Within the realm he controls, no matter what methods the enemy employs, they cannot break through his sword domain!

Such strength!

But that's it!

"Advancing to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm is not difficult for me at all."

Li Xiaoyao spoke in a very calm tone.

But his flying sword did not stop at all.

puff!

With ease, it pierced the chest of the Xuan Yin Old Demon Lord's soul while he was speaking.

Soon, along with the Xuan Yin Battle Armor on the body of the Xuan Yin Old Demon, it was cleaved in two by a single sword strike.

Chen Xuan, who witnessed all of this, was utterly shocked.

It took him a long time to come to his senses.

Even after carefully recalling the battle between Li Xiaoyao and the Xuan Yin Old Demon's main soul, Chen Xuan still felt his blood boiling.

"Sword Domain? This is a technique that only a Grand Luo Golden Immortal can control. I never imagined that my master, at the half-step Grand Luo Golden Immortal level, could control a Sword Domain. It seems that my master's talent is indeed extraordinary!"

Chen Xuan was secretly surprised.

Li Xiaoyao, however, casually flicked his wrist and put the flying sword back into the sword box on his back.

As for the storage bag of the Xuan Yin Old Demon's main soul, Li Xiaoyao didn't even glance at it.

Sword Domain unleashed!

The storage bag was completely torn to shreds by the sword domain.

Not even a trace was left.

There was certainly no question of capturing any spoils of war.

"What? You don't understand?"

Seeing Chen Xuan's confused expression, Li Xiaoyao frowned slightly.

Although his tone was cold, the concern he expressed was undeniable.

"Your Excellency, there are indeed many things I don't understand! You yourself are only a half-step Great Luo Golden Immortal. How can you unleash a sword domain?" Chen Xuan asked curiously.

"Because I used to be a half-step Dao Ancestor!"

Li Xiaoyao remained extremely calm.

These words, however, caused Bai Zhi and Chen Xuan to both show an expression of disbelief and shock!

Half-step Dao Ancestor!

This is the strongest expert below the Dao Ancestor!

Even in the ancient True Immortal Realm, where powerful beings were numerous, a half-step Dao Ancestor was still one of the strongest combat forces in the True Immortal Realm.

after all!

There are very few experts who can advance to the Dao Ancestor realm.

Otherwise, there wouldn't only be five Dao Ancestor level experts on the Myriad Immortals Map.

"I was already a half-step Dao Ancestor. All the methods of a Great Luo Golden Immortal are no challenge to me!"

"Unleashing a sword domain is even easier!"

"As for the Xuan Yin Old Demon, the reason he can't unleash his sword domain is because he's merely a main soul. If the real Xuan Yin Old Demon were to fight me, I might not be able to win so easily!"

Li Xiaoyao explained earnestly.

Even if I were to walk the same path again now, many details would still be clearly present in my mind.

This is the main reason why Li Xiaoyao was able to unleash his sword domain and kill the main soul of the Xuan Yin Old Demon with a single sword strike.

Even so, Chen Xuan was deeply shocked.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master!" Chen Xuan said sincerely.

"Your cultivation level is currently low, and your swordsmanship should still focus on building a solid foundation. Furthermore, the most important aspect of the Free and Unfettered Sword Technique is freedom itself. You must never allow your thoughts to be unclear. You must remember this!"

Li Xiaoyao's gaze swept over Chen Xuan, and he gave him earnest instructions.

"Yes, Master!"

Chen Xuan agreed.

The next moment, Chen Xuan seemed to remember something and hurriedly asked, "Master, you just said that you have killed the main soul of the Xuan Yin Old Demon. So, has the Xuan Yin Old Demon really perished?"

"The Xuan Yin Old Demon was once a half-step Dao Ancestor realm expert. Reaching that level of cultivation, it's truly not easy for him to perish. Unless you can completely slay his divided souls. But don't worry, the Xuan Yin Old Demon has suffered such a great loss this time. Even if some of his divided souls remain, they won't bother you for the time being!"

The carefree swordsman explained with a smile.

Chen Xuan's worries vanished at that moment.

"As long as the Xuan Yin Old Demon doesn't cause me any trouble for the time being, that would be wonderful!" Chen Xuan was overjoyed.

"I came in a hurry this time, and I still have some things to take care of back home. I'll have your senior brother stay with you for a while. We'll meet again someday!"

After explaining to Chen Xuan, Li Xiaoyao immediately stepped out into the huge array of light pillars and disappeared.
