However, she didn't dare to go to the Zhao Family, nor did she proceed to the Zhou Family; instead, she casually found a noble family to hide.
"Almost ruined the master's important affair."
Wen Renying patted her chest, carefully concealing her presence and suppressing her demon energy, feeling a lingering fear in her heart.
This time, the tremor caused in Kyoto Prefecture was entirely due to her.
Although Little Sword Immortal intervened to slay the demon, it was an undeniable fact that she was involved.
If the court were to investigate the matter afterward, her existence might tarnish Chen Yi's reputation.
After all, a Taoist prodigy and a "demoness" of the Bai Shen Sect seem incompatible.
Thinking of this, Wen Renying felt somewhat desolate, her eyes gazing through the window of the hiding chamber at the White Tiger Divine Intent in the sky, resembling two glistening water streaks.
The overwhelming Sword Intent lasted for the time of two sticks of incense before it finally ceased.
However, those magnificent silver white Sword Intents seemed to be approved by the heavens and earth, condensed yet not dissipating, straightly connecting the sky and earth.
And under these silver white gleams, "Black Impermanence" Liao Ai lay weakly collapsed to the ground.
Beside him was an unfathomable pit, with its edge adorned by a layer of solidified silver white glow, reflecting its pitch-black skeletal body brightly.
But at this moment, Liao Ai had no time to care about anything else, as his body was already covered in sword scars from the relentless slashing of Sword Intents.
Other than his head remaining intact, the bones from his neck downward were all shattered, turned into fragments the size of a finger, spreading over a range of several tens of meters.
"Ka, ka, ka... you... have won..."
Liao Ai grinned as if in a tragic smile, the eye sockets shrouded in black mist gazing upward at the night sky, and said:
"But, the Demon Emperor, His Majesty, will, surely, avenge!"
Chen Yi slowly descended, arriving by its side, with the Spring Rain Sword quickly coming to his hand, nudging against his palm, insisting to settle in.
"If the Fengyue Demon Emperor wishes to die, then let him come."
"Ka, ka," Liao Ai ground his teeth until they creaked, turning his head with the last trace of demon energy:
"Chen! Yi! You will die a terrible death!!"
Chen Yi looked at it calmly, and asked indifferently: "Is that your last words?"
"It's as devoid of substance as your demon body!"
Saying this, the silver white Sword Intent resurfaced, as he already grasped the Spring Rain Sword to pierce through Liao Ai's skull, drawing out that millstone-sized pitch-black Blood Core.
Liao Ai only managed to let out a mournful wail of bones shattering before dying under his sword.
From the scattered bones around, wisps of dark demon energy escaped, forming a phantom demon shadow.
On that demon shadow, closely resembling Liao Ai, only its dull skeletal head could be seen, as if after death, it had lost its mind and spirit.
Yet as it drifted upward, seemingly intending to cast itself into the void of the sky.
At this moment, the vast eyes of the White Tiger Divine Intent glanced over, its tiger claws raised to slap the phantom demon shadow into dispersal.
Subsequently, wisps of formless white smoke appeared from the demon shadow, each wisp condensing onto the White Tiger Divine Intent.
Then, through the Po Jun, Seven Killings, and Greedy Wolf stars, they flowed to the altar on Chen Yi's chest, being one by one transformed into Slaughter Sword Intent, quietly drifting towards the palace.
The golden light curtain reappears——
[At forty-six years old, you have already reached the Second Grade Divine Travel Realm, Sword Dao Divine Ability Realm, and you have slain one of the Demon Court's Twelve Pillars, "Black Impermanence" Liao Ai, mission accomplished!]
[Mission accomplished, reward: Divine Power · Worlds Apart Within Reach!]
[Note: Divine Power · Worlds Apart Within Reach is an Ancient Tao Court Secret Technique, deep mastery can traverse billions of miles with a single thought.]
[Please find a quiet place to receive it!]
Chen Yi glanced at the light curtain, seeing the task completion words, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at the pitch-black Blood Core in his hand, muttering in his heart: "It was worth the great effort to slay you!"
"Black Impermanence" Liao Ai, to be able to augment my cultivation, is the greatest honor of your life!
It could be considered a meaningful death!
