The next moment, an unparalleled ferocious aura suddenly burst forth from the sword, engulfing the slender girl directly in front of it!

"Buzz—"

An invisible collision seemed to erupt, and Ning Yuyao frowned, her face turning noticeably paler!

The icy blue light surrounding him began to become somewhat disordered!

"Junior Sister!"

Guan Yingying's expression changed. "What happened? She was perfectly fine just now..."

Yao Xiangxue, who was more skilled and observant, frowned and said, "Junior Sister Ning seemed to have been disturbed by something just now, allowing the evil energy to slip through!"

Guan Yingying was stunned for a moment, then turned her head fiercely to look at Wu Yun'er and Shen Yunhao on the outer edge of the crowd, "Can you two go somewhere else to cause trouble? Can't you see that someone is practicing swordsmanship here?"

That being said, she herself didn't quite believe that the farce just now had affected Ning Yuyao.

Because an array had already been set up here before attempting to comprehend the sword, it was impossible for any outside noise to get in...

Wu Yun'er was naturally aware of this, and was about to argue angrily, but was pulled back by Shen Yunhao from behind!

Shh! Be quiet now!

Wu Yun'er turned her head and saw the man's suddenly serious expression. A few feelings of grievance inexplicably rose in her heart, but she still snorted coldly and didn't say anything more!

Shen Yunhao then turned to look at Ning Yuyao in the arena, and his heart began to race with nervousness.

He vaguely sensed that... the sword intent of that sword seemed to have broken through Ning Yuyao's mental defenses...

Sure enough, after a while, Ning Yuyao's expression became increasingly unpleasant, and a strange black aura slowly appeared between her brows.

A collective gasp rippled through the surrounding crowd, their whispers filled with regret.

"Damn it! I lost my composure and was devoured by the malevolent energy!"

"The Yuan Sha Sword is indeed dangerous! Even Junior Sister Ning couldn't withstand it..."

"What a pity, all our efforts have been in vain. It seems we'll need an elder to come and rescue us!"

After observing for a while, Yao Xiangxue finally sighed, "It's a pity. With Junior Sister Ning's talent in swordsmanship, she could definitely compete for a top ten spot in this tournament... Junior Sister Guan, please use the jade token to apply for assistance. I'm worried that Junior Sister Ning might be in danger if we delay any longer!"

Guan Yingying nodded and was taking out the jade token when she heard a loud shout from behind her!

"Wait! I can help her!"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent, and then everyone turned to look at "Superman Qiang," who had taken two steps forward.

"Stop right there! What do you think you're doing!"

Guan Yingying shouted angrily, her figure flashing as she instantly blocked Shen Yunhao's path. Her face was unusually gloomy. "Haven't you caused enough trouble already? Get lost! Otherwise, no matter who you are, I won't let you go!"

Wu Yun'er was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Superman Qiang! What are you doing? Stop causing trouble!"

"Super...superhuman strength?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

This name... is it interesting?

Shen Yunhao ignored everyone's comments and took out his identity jade token, which showed a score of "eight thousand seven hundred", making everyone take notice.

This score is considered very high even in this core area!

"I have a method that can protect the soul and counteract the erosion of sword intent! Let me in, or it will be too late! Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger!"

"..."

No one noticed that Shen Yunhao had added a strange sentence at the end of his sentence; their attention was drawn to the preceding phrase, "counteract the erosion of sword intent."

If that's really the case, wouldn't being in this Sword Tomb be like having a cheat code?

No wonder it got such a high score!

Guan Yingying was stunned for several seconds after hearing the phrase "Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger" before she came to her senses. Then, thinking of the ridiculous name "Superman Strong," she couldn't help but twitch her lips.

"You...can you really do it?"

Shen Yunhao remained unfazed. "I owe Fairy Ning a favor, and I must repay it today. If I fail to save her, I will gladly offer my head in return!"

"Alright, you can go in now!" Guan Yingying waved her hand while covering her head.

Shen Yunhao nodded and, escorted by Guan Yingying, entered the formation.

"Don't force yourself! If anything happens to Junior Sister, you'll be an enemy of our Guanghan Palace!"

Shen Yunhao didn't say much. He simply walked behind Ning Yuyao, sat down cross-legged, and placed his right hand, fingers pointing like a sword, on Ning Yuyao's shoulder.

At the same time, his left hand moved swiftly in front of him, his fingertips shimmering with spiritual light, outlining the prototype of a complex spiritual array!

This was naturally a smokescreen; his true purpose was to channel the power of the Vast Ocean Heart into it through his right hand...

A gentle, vast, pale blue primordial energy, containing endless life and purification power, silently flowed through her fingertips and into Ning Yuyao's body!

However, after a long time, the situation did not improve as Shen Yunhao had expected.

The dark aura between the girl's eyebrows had only faded slightly before it returned, even more violently!

"how so?"

Shen Yunhao frowned, forcing himself to calm down!

"Could it be... that these malevolent energies have completely invaded Yao'er's consciousness? The purifying power supplied from the outside alone is not enough to completely eliminate them..."

"Since that's the case..."

Shen Yunhao gritted his teeth and actually guided a wisp of fierce energy back along his fingertips to envelop him!

In an instant, a chilling coldness rushed through his meridians and straight into his sea of ​​consciousness!

"boom!"

The scene before him was dizzying, and when he woke up, Shen Yunhao found himself in an unfamiliar space!

He looked around in shock, and after a long while murmured, "This is... Yao'er's sea of ​​consciousness!"

Unlike her own tiny sea of ​​consciousness, Ning Yuyao's sea of ​​consciousness was like a vast ice field, boundless, pure and clear. Above the ice field, countless dazzling ice crystals floated, their contents unknown.

At that moment, a thick, inky aura of malevolence spread like a plague, cracking the ice plains and turning them into desolate wastelands.

"not good!"

Shen Yunhao activated the Vast Ocean Heart to protect his consciousness and charged headlong into the center of the malevolent aura without hesitation!

The swirling black fog engulfed him completely, yet it could not penetrate the blue light membrane to completely infect him.

After searching for a long time in the black mist, Shen Yunhao finally saw a blurry dark red phantom standing in the air above a circular black sea, holding a long sword... Judging from its appearance, it was the Yuan Sha Sword from the outside world.

Beneath the illusory image, on the surface of the Black Sea, huddled a figure in icy blue.

The girl's eyes were closed; she had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Yao'er!"

Shen Yunhao felt a sharp pain in his heart and rushed forward without regard for anything else.

However, the dark red phantom casually waved its hand, and a blood-red sword aura pierced through the air!

Shen Yunhao was sent flying backward by the sword strike, his consciousness dimmed. If it weren't for the protection of the Vast Ocean Heart, he would have died on the spot.

The phantom before him was far more terrifying than any of the malevolent swords he had seen before!

"Sword Master Yuan Sha!" Shen Yunhao roared, his eyes bloodshot with rage, "Release that girl!"
