Chapter 14844 has been discovered.
The demon continued, "But there's one thing you haven't done well enough... Your timing in switching between the two sword techniques is too poor, which often wastes sword power and even exposes weaknesses, giving your opponent an opportunity to exploit."
Ling Xiao slowly sheathed his sword, took a deep breath, circulated his spiritual energy to calm the chaotic energy within his body, and looked sincerely at the demon spirit: "Thank you for your guidance, senior. Anything else?"
"You used the Karma Blade Technique too hastily and not cleverly enough."
The demon spirit raised an eyebrow slightly and continued to offer guidance.
"You are always eager to achieve quick results, wanting to use it to kill your opponent directly and pursue a fatal blow, but this is precisely against the essence of the Causal Blade."
The core of the Cause and Effect Knife lies in guiding the 'cause' rather than forcing the 'effect'.
If you can subtly plant the seeds of your opponent's downfall at the very beginning of a conflict, even if they are stronger than you, you can guide them step by step towards the desired outcome, achieving victory effortlessly.
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with understanding. He nodded thoughtfully, rapidly replaying the battle scene in his mind, carefully pondering the demon spirit's words, and memorizing every single one...
The demon spirit's guidance was like clearing away the fog in his heart, deepening his understanding of the Dao of Cause and Effect.
"However..." Demon Spirit changed the subject, a clear hint of appreciation flashing in her eyes, and her tone softened a bit.
"Your Bloodthirsty Blade Soul is indeed very useful, a unique gift. With it, your comprehension of the Dao of the Blade is far faster than ordinary people, even faster than mine was back then."
Although the Mind-Bound Blade Technique is extremely difficult to cultivate, practically defying the heavens, given time, with your talent and perseverance, you will surely master it, perhaps even surpassing me.
Ling Xiao nodded solemnly, a resolute glint in his eyes: "Senior, rest assured, I will definitely work hard to cultivate and live up to your expectations, and carry forward your swordsmanship."
He closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and repeatedly replayed the demon spirit's instructions in his mind.
He repeatedly practiced the switching techniques between the two sword styles, as well as the essence of the causal sword style of "sowing cause and leading to effect," and the sword intent around him gradually became more and more refined.
"Lingxiao!"
A rough, loud voice suddenly rang out, breaking the tranquility deep within the ruins. Meng Haoqing strode over, his figure robust, his aura surging, and a smug smile on his face.
"Come on, let's have a fight! I've recently made a breakthrough, so I'll test your new swordsmanship and see if you've improved!"
Ling Xiao slowly opened his eyes, looked at Meng Haoqing, the seriousness in his eyes gradually dissipated, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a relaxed smile: "Okay."
Before he finished speaking, Ling Xiao flashed forward, wielding the Bloodthirsty Blade, and struck first. The blade flashed sharply, heading straight for Meng Haoqing. Meng Haoqing was not to be outdone, and threw a punch to meet the attack. The wind from his punch was howling, and the force was immense.
The two clashed instantly, their swords flashing and fists clashing in a fierce battle. The sharp shockwaves spread outwards, sending surrounding rocks flying.
The demon spirit stood aside, quietly watching the two fight, a faint smile on her lips, her eyes filled with satisfaction...
Ling Xiao's growth rate far exceeded her expectations. Given time, he will surely become a peerless swordsman, and may even surpass her achievements.
Suddenly, Mo Ling's brows furrowed sharply, his eyes instantly turning sharp. He abruptly turned his head, looking towards the entrance of the Demon Lord's Ruins, his tone icy: "A powerful figure has arrived. His aura is very strong, and he is not here with good intentions."
Before she finished speaking, she vanished like a ghost, instantly appearing at the entrance of the ruins, blocking the way.
At the entrance to the ruins, two figures slowly descended, exuding immense pressure and sharp auras; they were Lin Hao and Chen Sheng.
After a night's rest, Lin Hao's injuries had mostly healed, but his aura still carried a trace of ferocity and resentment.
"Is this the place?" Lin Hao scanned his surroundings, his eyes wary, his sword aura surging slightly, his tone icy... The demonic energy here was dense, clearly indicating that this was the entrance to the Demon Lord's ruins.
"Hmm." Chen Sheng nodded, his gaze turning solemnly towards the depths of the ruins.
"According to intelligence, Ling Xiao should be inside, cultivating the Demon Spirit's sword path inheritance."
We must find him as soon as possible and kill him. This will not only wash away the shame of the Silent Court but also cut off any possibility of his growth, eliminating any future threat.
"Then go in and kill him!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Lin Hao's eyes. Without another word, he stepped into the ruins, his anger and resentment erupting completely at that moment...
He wanted to kill Ling Xiao and use Ling Xiao's life to atone for the disgrace that had befallen the Silent Court today!
But just as he was about to step into the ruins, a thought flashed through his mind, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly struck him. He looked up sharply, his eyes warily fixed on the front.
Ahead, a figure in black appeared out of thin air, blocking his path. The figure exuded a chilling killing intent and possessed a sharp aura, comparable to his own.
It was a woman, dressed in black with black hair, with an exquisitely beautiful face, yet exuding a coldness that kept people at a distance, her eyes as icy as knives—it was Mo Ling.
"People from the Silent Court?" Demon Spirit spoke calmly, his tone icy and devoid of any emotion. His gaze swept over Lin Hao and Chen Sheng as if they were two dead men.
Lin Hao's eyes narrowed, and the sword energy around him surged instantly. He stared intently at the demon spirit and asked in an icy tone, "Who are you? How dare you block the path of my Silent Extinction Court? You're courting death!"
"Gatekeeper." The demon's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority. "If you want to enter the ruins, you must first get past me. Either defeat me, or die here."
Lin Hao's eyes flashed with killing intent. Without another word, he raised his hand, drew his sword, and unleashed a sword light as bright as a rainbow, carrying a world-destroying power as he slashed fiercely at the demon spirit. The blade sliced through the void, emitting a piercing buzzing sound...
He had already used all his strength, wanting to kill the demon spirit in one move and enter the ruins as soon as possible to kill Ling Xiao.
The demon spirit snorted coldly, his expression unchanged. He slowly raised his hand and struck out with a palm. The dark palm wind howled out, carrying a vast demonic energy, and collided violently with the dazzling sword light!
boom……!
A deafening roar erupted as a violent energy shockwave swept in all directions. The sword light shattered instantly, but the palm strike remained unstoppable. Lin Hao and the demon spirit were forced back several steps, and deep cracks appeared in the ground beneath their feet.
Lin Hao's expression changed slightly, and a storm of shock surged in his heart... This woman's strength was actually no less than his!
He was even slightly stronger than him. He had used 70% of his strength in that attack, but he hadn't managed to hurt the opponent at all. Instead, his arm was numb from the shock.
"Lin Hao, I'm here to help you!"
Seeing this, Chen Sheng no longer hesitated. He stepped forward, his aura surging, and a powerful spiritual energy condensed in his palm. He struck the demon spirit with a palm, forming a pincer attack with Lin Hao. The two joined forces and attacked at the same time, their killing intent overwhelming!
The dazzling sword light and the heavy palm print intertwined, transforming into a monstrous attack with earth-shattering power, completely engulfing the demon spirit and giving her no chance to breathe! (End of Chapter)
