Xiao Yuhan stared at Han Xiong and asked very seriously, "Is it true or false that you said that the great demon had the cultivation of the Dao Integration Realm?"
Han Xiong nodded seriously, "The demon race is different from the human race. They don't have so many distracting thoughts, but their race limits their early cultivation growth. The demon race cultivates for a thousand years, while cultivators cultivate for a thousand years. It sounds like the human race is stronger, but the original saying is that the demon race cultivates for a thousand years and then attains enlightenment in one day, directly reaching the pinnacle of transformation. Cultivators cultivate for a thousand years and then become demons in one thought, never to be redeemed. Compared to the demon race, the human race has too many obsessions and desires, making it increasingly difficult as they progress. And that great demon has at least several thousand years of cultivation."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan became worried. He had previously thought that Han Xiong had deceived him, but regarding the white-haired woman, he had not deceived him. Facing such a powerful enemy head-on seemed unwise. With worries in his heart, he immediately made a decision, turned to Bai Yao, and forced himself to appear calm, "Yao'er, quickly go and follow Jiang Ruoning, protect her, and go with her to Kunlun Mountain!"
Bai Yao was completely oblivious to the worry in Xiao Yuhan's eyes. She obediently nodded and followed on her sword. Only after Bai Yao had left did Xiao Yuhan say helplessly, "Are you trying to trap me? Did you plan to drag me down with you from the very beginning?"
Han Xiong's expression was solemn. "Master Xiao, you may also choose to leave."
Xiao Yuhan sighed, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes during the moment of silence. "I know a demon disciple named Su Li. She wants my life. To be honest, I've made many preparations. Since we're incompatible, a battle is inevitable sooner or later. And since you dare to sit here today, you probably won't just surrender. What do you think about us joining forces to deal with these demon disciples?"
Han Xiong smiled slightly: "Let's be frank. I'll just say it directly. Since my elder brother died, I'm the only one who can mobilize the Kunlun Mountain sect's protective formation. And here at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, I'm confident I can fight that woman."
Xiao Yuhan seemed to be deep in thought, then said, "I want to know more about that demonic disciple. As for my trump card..."
As he spoke, a black jade longsword suddenly appeared in Xiao Yuhan's hand. The sword was flashing with strange red lightning. At this moment, Xiao Yuhan's eyes turned crimson, his skin lost its color, and his aura suddenly became stronger, rising from the third level of the Void Returning Realm to the Dao Integration Realm.
Han Xiong froze on the spot upon seeing this, then smiled wryly and said, "What kind of technique is this? It can actually raise one's cultivation by an entire major realm?"
Xiao Yuhan withdrew the amplification brought to him by the Blood King Gu and then said, "This power is somewhat dangerous, but I can now control it quite well. This is the reason why I dared to come along. Let's talk about the Demon Disciple. Are you sure she will find this place?"
Han Xiong nodded. "Knowing that I've erased the mark of a demon disciple, she'll definitely follow the scent to find me..."
Halfway through his sentence, Han Xiong's expression turned serious. "She's here... right outside."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Xiong stood up and unleashed a terrifying sword aura from his body. Before he could move, the entire thatched hut was overturned by the sword aura, and the two of them appeared on the icy plain. Not far away stood the white-haired woman he had seen at Qinhuai Tower earlier that day.
The white-haired woman stared at Han Xiong with her eerie fox-like eyes. She wore a thin, snow-white veil, which concealed her demonic aura, but both of them could feel her power.
Xiao Yuhan had some doubts about the relationship between her and that Su Li, but upon seeing her now, she was almost certain that they were not the same person.
None of the three spoke, and the atmosphere on the cold, icy plain was chilling to the bone.
Han Xiong walked forward step by step, his gaze fixed on the woman, but he started talking to Xiao Yuhan, "Daoist Xiao, I broke the deal with the demon disciple, and we are now sworn enemies. It's not too late for you to regret it now."
Xiao Yuhan thought of that "it" and then of Su Li, and immediately replied, "Who isn't? Although this demon disciple isn't the one I'm looking for, if I can help you capture her, I might get the information I want. Let's do it."
Han Xiong downed all the wine from his gourd, then summoned a very special immortal sword. He walked with the sword in his hand, seemingly resolute.
Xiao Yuhan recognized it as the protective sword of the Kunlun Immortal Sect, and for a moment seemed to understand something.
Han Xiong raised his sword to the sky. At that moment, nine-colored divine light from the depths of the Kunlun Mountains shot straight into the clouds and then tore through the void and flew toward this place. One white, two black, three green, four green, five yellow, six white, seven red, eight white, and nine purple were the nine stars, each representing Tianpeng Star, Tianrui Star, Tianchong Star, Tianfu Star, Tianqin Star, Tianxin Star, Tianren Star, Tianzhu Star, and Tianying Star.
Tianpeng Star, also known as Tanlang Star, is the Tian Shu Star in the Big Dipper. The remaining stars correspond to the Big Dipper and the Left and Right Assistants, respectively. The miracle of these nine stars shining in the world was actually turned into a sect-protecting formation by the Kunlun Immortal Sect, which seemed to have the power to change the world.
Behind him, Xiao Yuhan could sense that even if he used all his trump cards, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything to Han Xiong, who was protected by this sect-protecting formation.
He couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder the Kunlun Immortal Sect and my Heavenly Sword Sect are known as the two giants of the righteous path. With the power of this formation, even if all five of us from the Spirit Su Sword Sect attacked together, we might not be able to defeat it..."
At this moment, Han Xiong flashed in front of the woman in white, slashed out with his sword, the power of the Nine Stars empowering him, the power of the sword seemed capable of cleaving mountains and rivers.
Xiao Yuhan, who had not yet joined the battle, felt an unprecedented pressure. The white-haired woman, who had been calm and composed just a moment ago, seemingly about to raise her hand to block the sword, was now directly repelled, and a hint of astonishment appeared in her unchanging expression.
The white-haired woman seemed surprised by the power of the Kunlun Immortal Sect's protective formation. With a soft snort, she unleashed her full demonic power, causing the few remaining birds and beasts on the icy plain to flee in panic.
Han Xiong was known as the Sword Demon. His swordsmanship was extraordinary. With the support of the Kunlun Formation, he thrust his sword at the white-haired woman with unstoppable force.
But it was only then that Xiao Yuhan noticed that the white-haired woman's demonic power was extremely terrifying. She did indeed have the cultivation level of the Dao Integration Realm, and it was definitely infinitely close to the level of the ninth level of the Dao Integration Realm.
Xiao Yuhan had fought Liu Jiantang in his Blood King Gu state. At that time, Liu Jiantang theoretically had the strength of the fifth level of the Dao Integration Realm, but he was far less powerful than the female demon in front of him.
Xiao Yuhan was filled with mixed feelings. He had never known that there were such experts in the world before. He felt very uneasy. Moreover, this great demon was a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Valley. Thinking about it, how strong was Su Li?
A nameless fear arose spontaneously, and fear is the easiest thing to make people impatient. Xiao Yuhan no longer hesitated, and Junmo Sword was used to unleash the Blood King Gu hidden on the sword.
