The dense green leaves serve as a backdrop, with dappled light and shadow each seeking their own path, like souls searching for an exit.
The dense forest holds not only the vitality of thousands of years, but also a fascinating and dangerous allure.
Near the Cuiying Lake, the trees appear more majestic, and the lake water sparkles like embedded emeralds under the sunlight.
Xuan Xiaowei's gaze is firm, with the Sky Piercer Sword held in front of her, pointing towards NanGong Ling.
Bai Cang Tiger demon stood in a complete fighting stance on the side, their focus on a fox. The fox had snow-white fur and mysterious, piercing eyes.
"Why do you want to hurt it?" Xuan Xiaowei asked with a cold tone.
"It is the descendant of the Qingqiu tribe. If I can obtain its bloodline, my strength will greatly increase," NanGong Ling's eyes flashed with greed.
As NanGong Ling's words fell, the air seemed to tighten, and the gazes of the two people and a beast met in the air, creating an invisible sense of oppression.
---
NanGong Ling A sword swept across, bringing a cold and eerie light, directly aiming for Xuan Xiaowei's carotid artery. Xuan Xiaowei skillfully blocked with the Sky Piercer Sword, but the sword energy still made her step back a few paces.
"Indeed a master..." she thought to herself, watching NanGong Ling's near-perfect swordsmanship. If it weren't for Bai Cang's support, she would have been at a disadvantage very quickly.
Bai Cang tried to approach NanGong Ling from the side, but he noticed it with just a glance and easily repelled Bai Cang.
"What can a novice who has only been practicing swordsmanship for two months do?" NanGong Ling sneered.
Xuan Xiaowei and NanGong Ling clashed swords on the battlefield, creating a spark.
Even though the surroundings were reflected in a dreamlike manner by the surrounding stone pillars and ancient murals, there was no hint of poetry here.
NanGong Ling displayed such strength that Xuan Xiaowei felt somewhat at a loss. His swordsmanship was superb, undoubtedly on par with Sitou Lian's strength.
"If you were a demon, my bloodline might be of some use. Unfortunately, I can only rely on my swordsmanship," Xuan Xiaowei said, biting his lip, clearly feeling helpless.
Suddenly, a sword aura swept through, cutting through the air with a fierce gust of energy. This was NanGong Ling's rapid and relentless attack, clearly aimed at not giving the opponent a chance to catch their breath.
Xuan Xiaowei instinctively rolled to dodge the attack and as she stood up, she suddenly remembered, "Right, I still have the Sky Piercer Sword! How silly of me!"
Facing NanGong Ling's fierce attack, Xuan Xiaowei suddenly felt as if struck by lightning, her heart pounding. "Yes, how could I be so foolish? I still have a sword in my hand!" This realization instantly cleared her mind.
Observing the other party's sword, Xuan Xiaowei was certain that it couldn't be a sword of the eighth realm.
So, she began to focus her mind on the Sky Piercer Sword in her hand, attempting to establish a connection with the sword spirit.
Since she first tightly grasped the sword, apart from the initial response, the sword spirit seemed to have never interacted with her again, making her feel that the sword in her hand was just a weapon, not a spiritual tool.
Recalling the third stage of the previous simulated patrol, it was a test of the compatibility with the sword.
At that time, she was only able to break through to the third level before being eliminated. Therefore, she understood the importance of communicating with the sword spirit.
Her mind was divided into two, one side building a spiritual bridge with the sword spirit of Sky Piercer Sword, and the other agilely facing the endless attacks of NanGong Ling, each move filled with tension and excitement.
Xuan Xiaowei knows that the only way to reverse the situation is to establish a strong connection between her and the sword spirit.
She begins to try to communicate with the sword spirit of Sky Piercer Sword in her hand, saying to the sword, "Sky Piercer Sword spirit, if you can hear me, now is the time to cooperate!"
NanGong Ling saw the situation and instantly drew his sword, the sword energy whistling like a raging wind.
At this critical moment, Xuan Xiaowei felt that Sky Piercer Sword seemed to have a response, a warm flow from the sword entering her palm.
With a sudden shock to the heart, Xuan Xiaowei wielded her sword with newfound strength, blocking NanGong Ling's sword. At the moment of impact, the sword tip emitted a dazzling light.
"What is this?!" NanGong Ling furrowed her brow, clearly taken aback by Xuan Xiaowei's sudden transformation.
Xuan Xiaowei slightly raised the corner of his mouth and thought to himself, "With the response of Sky Piercer Sword, I may have a chance to turn the tide in this battle!"
The two clashed again, and this time, Xuan Xiaowei was no longer the suppressed opponent.
Her swordsmanship may not be as skilled as NanGong Ling, but her sword energy has undergone earth-shattering changes.
NanGong Ling felt a sudden increase in pressure. This time, she had to reassess this seemingly weak opponent.
Xuan Xiaowei finally learned how to truly cooperate with her Sky Piercer Sword.
"It's like this, I will merge with you and continue to attack him!" Xuan Xiaowei reached a consensus with the sword spirit in her heart.
Xuan Xiaowei suddenly looked up, pointed her sword at the opponent, and chose to use the move "Frost Unravels the Crimson Sky."
The sword suddenly flashed, and a force of frost gathered on the Sky Piercer Sword, then quickly released. The sword energy was like frost, instantly covering NanGong Ling's attack range. NanGong Ling's pupils contracted, feeling an unprecedented sense of oppression, and had to retreat.
Taking this opportunity, Xuan Xiaowei cast a determined glance at Bai Cang, who immediately understood and turned to pounce towards the fiery little fox, intending to take it away from the battlefield.
"You are not my match!" NanGong Ling roared, and his sword energy surged, slashing towards Xuan Xiaowei.
But Xuan Xiaowei had completely merged with the sword spirit at this point, no longer the novice unfamiliar with swordsmanship from before.
She used "Azure Snow Feathers", and sword energy scattered like feathers, not only completely dissolving NanGong Ling's attack, but also causing him to be momentarily stagnant.
"Break for me!" Xuan Xiaowei shouted, releasing the long-accumulated sword energy all at once.
NanGong Ling was hit by the sword energy and flew out like a broken kite, crashing heavily into a big tree, then fell into a coma, losing the ability to fight.
In order to ensure that NanGong Ling would not be harmed by nearby monsters, Xuan Xiaowei first gave her a ninth-grade healing pill, then cast a protective barrier around her before leaving with peace of mind.
Bai Cang asked in confusion, "Why are you so good to her? Just now she attacked you mercilessly."
Xuan Xiaowei replied, "After all, we are from the same sect. Moreover, having such an outstanding demon slayer, if lost, would be a great loss for both the sect and the demon slayer world."
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang was still somewhat displeased, but could not refute Xuan Xiaowei's point of view, so he chose to remain silent.
Xuan Xiaowei saw the situation and immediately changed the subject. She remembered that Bai Cang was also a demon, so it seemed inappropriate for him to openly talk about the demon world.
"Are you here to save that little fox?" Xuan Xiaowei suddenly spoke, apparently trying to change the delicate atmosphere in front of her.
Bai Cang flashed a hint of surprise in his eyes and turned his gaze to Xuan Xiaowei, unconsciously clenching his fist. His expression seemed as if some secret had been uncovered.
Xuan Xiaowei smiled slightly, twirling the prayer beads in her hand and observing Bai Cang's reaction with her eyes. She continued, "I was just curious. If you wanted to escape, you could have transformed into human form and removed the golden bell to run away. Why did you ultimately choose to stay?"
"So I've been thinking, are you staying here for some reason?" Xuan Xiaowei's eyes were fixed on Bai Cang, her tone gentle but firm.
Bai Cang fell silent for a moment, as if searching for the courage deep within his heart. Finally, he made a decision and looked up at Xuan Xiaowei with sincerity in his eyes. "This little fox is called Qingqiu Lingmei, or you can also call her Xiao Mei. She is less than a hundred years old and has not yet been able to transform into human form."
Xuan Xiaowei couldn't help but gently stroke the little fox in her hand. Xiao Mei's fur looked extremely lush, with a hint of puzzlement and anticipation in her eyes.
"Qingqiu Yufeng, her brother, entrusted me to come here to find his sister and rescue her," Bai Cang continued, his gaze firmly fixed on Xuan Xiaowei's face, seemingly searching for her inner reaction.
Xuan Xiaowei After listening, her expression became more serious. She gently stroked the head of the little fox in her hand, as if comforting its panic and pain. "I just fed her some elixir and did some simple bandaging."
Bai Cang Smiled and nodded in appreciation, "You did a great job."
Xuan Xiaowei asked with a hint of surprise, "How was that little fox captured? Rare-level monsters like that should not be easily caught, right?"
Bai Cang smiled slightly, seeming relieved, "Here's what happened. In order to protect their people, especially young foxes like Xiao mei, the Qingqiu clan would set a life-saving charm on them. This life-saving charm serves both protective and disguising purposes."
Xuan Xiaowei suddenly realized, "So the Demon Slayer of the Pure Moon Sect might have mistaken her for a regular demon and captured her?"
Bai Cang nodded, "Indeed, that's the case. I've suffered a lot trying to find her. The Pure Moon Sect mistook me for the prophesied Tiger demon, and that's why I was sent to your world. Unfortunately, during the transfer, I was severely injured by a Wolf Demon Soul, as you already know."
Speaking, Bai Cang took out a piece of emerald green stone from his arms, embroidered with golden lines, and of a strange shape. "This is the Qingqiu Stone. In order for us to find his sister, his brother removed our destiny symbols as soon as we entered the Cuiying Trials and gave me this Qingqiu Stone so that I could sense her location."
Xuan Xiaowei took the Qingqiu Stone and carefully examined it. Although this stone looked ordinary, it emitted an unfathomable spiritual energy, as if it were a small world in itself.
Xuan Xiaowei Suddenly became serious, "So what should we do now?"
Bai Cang Took a deep breath and looked at the distant night sky, where the stars were twinkling, as if each one was an unsolved mystery.
"We need to safely pass through this Cuiying Trials first, then find a way to leave Qingyue Sect. Once we're outside, we can find Qingqiu Yufeng and return his sister to him."
