The Spirit Rhinoceros Sword, with its formidable power, naturally has its weaknesses.
Using the Spirit Rhinoceros Sword will forcibly draw out the true energy from the entire body. If the true energy is insufficient, it will forcibly draw out the blood energy from the entire body. If the blood energy is insufficient, death will occur.
But it is precisely because the Spirit Rhinoceros Sword is so domineering that it is so powerful and can be considered a sword that transcends realms.
So now she has not only exhausted all her true energy, but also consumed a portion of her blood energy.
She is now so weak that she can't even kill a chicken, and for a short time she is not even as strong as an ordinary person!

Night Wind slashed down with his sword, and the Bronze Ghost Mask closed his eyes, awaiting death.
But the blade of the night wind did not cut through any part of her body; it merely split the bronze mask on her face in two.
With a clang, the bronze mask, now broken in two, fell to the ground, revealing her exquisite and beautiful face.
"Why didn't you kill me? Didn't you say you wouldn't show any mercy?" the bronze-masked demon asked.
Night Breeze didn't answer her question, but instead asked, "What's your name?"
"Ghost Spirit".
Gui Ling'er replied, her expression quite indignant.
Moreover, Gui Ling'er's voice returned to normal, clear and melodious, completely without the hoarse feeling from before.
It's obvious that she used some technique to disguise her voice when wearing the bronze mask.
"Your sword strike just now was amazing. What kind of sword technique was that?" Ye Feng asked.
“The Spirit Rhinoceros Sword,” Gui Ling’er replied.
"Did you create this yourself?" Night Wind asked again.
“How could such a powerful sword technique be my own creation? I obtained it from a corpse,” Gui Ling’er replied.
“Tell me more details, I’m very interested,” Night Wind said.
Gui Ling'er then said, "I am the eldest daughter of Chen Family Fortress, and my father is the fortress lord of Chen Family Fortress. Ten years ago, the Yanhu Bandit Gang attacked our Chen Family Fortress, and most of our people were killed. I was lucky enough to escape with my life."
"Moreover, after I escaped from Chenjiabao, I accidentally fell into quicksand. I thought I was going to die, but as I sank into the quicksand, I entered a strange cave. In that cave, there was a desiccated corpse with a sword manual and several elixirs on it."
"That sword technique is the Spirit Rhinoceros Sword!"
"So I learned the Spirit Rhinoceros Sword Technique and took a elixir to become a martial artist. From that night on, the original me was dead. I am now a vengeful demon... I wiped out the Flame Tiger Bandit Gang!"
The night wind seemed somewhat helpless.
He wanted to hear about the sword technique of Lingxi Sword, not about Gui Ling'er's past.
But Gui Ling'er clearly misunderstood him, and kept talking nonstop, looking very excited.
Night Wind had no choice but to patiently wait for Ghost Spirit to finish speaking before finally continuing, "Tell me the sword technique of the Spirit Rhinoceros Sword."
"You want to learn? Hmph, what makes you think I'll teach you swordsmanship? Kill me, I'd rather die than tell you!" Gui Ling'er said coldly.
"I know the Soul Searching Technique. Would you like to try it?" Ye Feng said meaningfully.
Upon hearing the words "soul-searching technique," Gui Ling'er's expression immediately turned extremely ugly.
Seeing this, Wu Qingyu quickly said, "Miss Gui, I think you should tell Young Master Ye. As long as you're alive, you can always make a comeback. If you lose your life, you lose everything."
"Furthermore, Young Master Ye is a good person. Once he obtains your swordsmanship, he certainly won't kill you. Moreover, Young Master Ye is an inner disciple of the Xuanji Sect, possessing extraordinary insight. Perhaps he can help you spot some problems in your swordsmanship?"
Wu Qingyu's last words touched Gui Ling'er.
Because Gui Ling'er always felt that there was something wrong with her cultivation of the Lingxi Sword.
Such a powerful sword technique has such a great drawback: every time it is used, it damages the blood and energy of the whole body. Therefore, Gui Ling'er will never use this move unless absolutely necessary.
If I show this to the person in front of me, maybe he can really help me find the problem?
After hesitating for a long time, Gui Ling'er finally took a deep breath and took out a thin booklet from her storage ring.
Night Breeze immediately snatched the booklet and began to browse through it.
The more Ye Feng looked, the more gloomy his expression became.
Suddenly, Ye Feng sneered, "What 'Spiritual Rhinoceros Sword'? It's clearly the Heavenly Demon Soul-Slaying Sword!"
Then Ye Feng made a hand seal and shouted, "Break!"
The booklet in Ye Feng's hand suddenly burst forth with streaks of black light, and these streaks of black light twisted and turned wildly like tentacles, even reaching out to grab Ye Feng's head and face.
But they couldn't get close to the night wind at all; they all dissipated before they even touched it.
"Open your dog eyes and take a good look at what kind of sword technique this is!" Ye Feng said, throwing the booklet in front of Gui Ling'er.
Upon closer inspection, Gui Ling'er noticed that some of the sword techniques described in the booklet had changed.
But it was this small change that made the entire sword technique appear demonic, sinister, and ruthless.
Moreover, the four ethereal and lively characters of "Lingxi Sword Technique" on the cover of the booklet have been transformed into the five characters of "Heavenly Demon Soul-Slaying Sword," which resembles a chaotic dance of gods and demons!
"You... what martial arts technique did you use? Are you lying to me?" Gui Ling'er said in shock.
"Why would I lie to you? I just broke the illusion in this booklet. What you see now is the true form of this sword technique! Gui Ling'er, you've been deceived. The dried corpse in the quicksand cave is not dead at all. It has been residing in your body for a long time and has bewitched you into cultivating the Heavenly Demon Soul-Slaying Sword. Once you reach the Transcendent Realm, it will possess you!"
Night Wind's words sent a chill down Gui Ling'er's spine.
Gui Ling'er was unwilling to believe what Ye Feng said, but Ye Feng's words made Gui Ling'er suddenly notice some details that she had not noticed before.
Why was I able to master the Lingxi Sword technique in just one night?
Why did my strength improve so quickly, transforming me from an ordinary person into a martial arts master at the mid-stage of the Divine Realm in just ten years?
Why do I often dream, and why do I receive guidance in my dreams?
Gui Ling'er used to think that she was talented and was even proud of it, but now she finally knows that it's not because she is talented at all.
Instead, a demon resides within one's body, nurturing and enlightening them, and then seizing their body once they have grown up!
Gui Ling'er felt a chill run through her heart, and even felt an urge to cry.
"Fortunately, that demon was overly cautious. He was afraid that you would become too powerful with the Heavenly Demon Soul-Slaying Sword and turn the tables on him in the future, so he only taught you the first move of the Heavenly Demon Soul-Slaying Sword. Otherwise, you would be beyond saving!"
As Ye Feng finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and pressed his hand on Gui Ling'er's crown.
"You fiend, get out here right now!"
With a loud shout, Ye Feng pulled a semi-transparent black phantom from Gui Ling'er's body.
