In the forest.
Everyone from the Sword World sped for a while and heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that there were no Rakshasas chasing after them. They consumed some elixirs and elixirs and rested on the spot.
"Indeed."
Gongsun Yu chuckled. "The Rakshasas are wary of the forest and their movement techniques are restricted. That's why they did not dare to continue chasing after us and could only give up."
"If they had entered the forest, the Rakshasas would definitely have left a few corpses behind!" Li Xue said coldly.
When Wang Dong saw that Su Zimo and Kitsune were fine, he patted his chest and said with lingering fear, "I was scared to death earlier on. Thankfully, the Peak Master and Junior Sister Beiming are fine. Otherwise, we would have committed unforgivable sins."
Sword Immortal Tai Lai added, "Thankfully, Senior Sister Lin intervened in time and severely injured that female Rakshasa ghost. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Su Zimo did not explain further and turned to Lin Xunzhen, cupping his fists. "Thank you for saving us, Fellow Daoist Lin."
Although he was the Peak Master of Ninth Sword Peak, he never put on airs in front of cultivators of the same cultivation realm like Lin Xunzhen and Wang Dong. Most of the time, he addressed them as fellow Daoists.
Lin Xunzhen nodded and did not say anything.
However, she still felt that something was amiss and looked at Su Zimo deeply.
Wang Dong, Gongsun Yu and the others chatted while resting, exchanging their insights from the earlier battle.
Lin Xunzhen rolled her eyes at Su Zimo and asked in a seemingly casual manner, "Peak Master Su's senses are sharp. You discovered the Rakshasas a long time ago."
In reality, Lin Xunzhen had noticed Su Zimo a long time ago.
When she first heard that Su Zimo had become the Peak Master of Ninth Sword Peak, she was indignant.
However, when she headed to Ninth Sword Peak and comprehended the Dao of Sword Burial, she realized how terrifying it was!
Someone who could create a Sword Dao as such was definitely extraordinary.
However, Su Zimo was in seclusion all year round and lived in seclusion. As such, the two of them did not have much chance to interact.
Among cultivators of the same level, the only one that Lin Xunzhen couldn't see through was Su Zimo.
What she said just now was also a test.
She was a little confused. Su Zimo was only at the Celestial Being Stage. How could he find the Rakshasa Ghost earlier than her?
Wang Tong, Gongsun Yu, and the others also began to realize what was going on.
Gongsun Yu was a little embarrassed. He laughed awkwardly and said, "Peak Master, I thought you were just too nervous. I didn't expect you to be right."
Su Zimo smiled but didn't say anything.
Of course, among the eight people, Shen Yue, Li Xue, and the others still didn't think much of it. They only thought that Su Zimo had said it casually, and that he had guessed correctly.
After the great battle, everyone relaxed and chatted as they rested. They were in high spirits and were rather excited.
Su Zimo sat quietly in the same place. No one knew what he was thinking.
In truth, with his abilities, he could have easily killed the Rakshasa Clan Commander earlier.
In fact, it wouldn't have been difficult for him to kill the Rakshasa Clan.
However, seeing the Rakshasa Clan in the Land of Evil Demons reminded him of something else. That was why he was a little distracted.
When the female Rakshasa Clan Commander attacked him, he wanted to kill her on the spot.
However, the moment they exchanged blows, he suddenly thought of an old friend from Tianhuang Region as he looked at his opponent's eyes and face.
Yu Luosha.
He and Yu Luosha didn't have a deep relationship, but there was some karma between them.
Yu Luosha had once submitted to Wu Dao's original body. After she regained her freedom, she had never betrayed him.
Moreover, after she led the Rakshasa Clan, she had never had any conflicts with humans.
Just this point alone was a great merit.
When he thought of Yu Luosha, Su Zimo didn't kill her. When the female Rakshasa Clan Commander fled after being severely injured by Lin Xunzhen, he didn't stop her either.
"Master, are you thinking of Yu Luosha?"
Suddenly, Kitsune's voice sounded in Su Zimo's mind.
Kitsune was the only one who could roughly guess Su Zimo's thoughts.
Su Zimo nodded. "To think that the Rakshasa race would be reduced to evil fiends and sinful spirits in the upper world."
"Now that Yu Luosha has ascended to the upper world, it's probably even harder for her to survive. In fact, she might even be in the Evil Demon Battlefield!"
At that thought, Su Zimo suddenly regretted it.
If he had known, he would have captured a Rakshasa and questioned him in detail.
Before long, everyone recovered more or less and got up to continue on their journey.
The forest was dark and deep with countless towering ancient trees, blocking one's vision and even the range of one's spirit consciousness was greatly hindered.
The forest was silent the entire way and only the occasional sound of rotten leaves and branches under their feet could be heard. It was eerie and sinister.
All of a sudden!
Su Zimo frowned and shifted his gaze to an ancient tree diagonally ahead.
That ancient tree grew in the darkness and was no different from the other trees around it. However, Su Zimo's spirit perception was way too strong!
He could sense that there was a person hidden there who was almost fused with the ancient tree!
Su Zimo did not make a move immediately.
That was because the living being hidden there was not a fiend, but a human that looked exactly like them!
However, that person did not have a Heaven Bestowment Badge on his waist.
Right then, Lin Xunzhen who was at the front stopped in her tracks.
She did not make a move. Instead, she turned to look in Su Zimo's direction before drawing her immortal sword and slashing at the ancient tree!
The ancient tree snapped with a single sound.
"Pfft!"
Not only that, the ancient tree was sliced into two and spat out fresh blood as it fell to the ground heavily.
When Wang Dong, Gongsun Yu and the others saw Lin Xunzhen stop in her tracks, they realized that something was amiss.
When Lin Xunzhen severed the ancient tree, they realized that there was a person hidden in the darkness!
That person was dressed in black and was lying in a pool of blood. His body was sliced into two by Lin Xunzhen's immortal sword.
The terrifying sword qi had already surged into his body and even his spirit consciousness.
His Dao Fruit was covered in sword scars.
The black-robed man was only a Kongming Perfected Immortal. Even a casual slash from Lin Xunzhen was not enough for him to withstand!
However, the black-robed man did not make a single sound from the beginning to the end.
Even after being sliced in half by Lin Xunzhen, he did not reveal any pain on his face. He merely glared coldly at Su Zimo and the others.
Lin Xunzhen carried her bloodless immortal sword and strode to the black-robed man's side. She looked down at him with an indifferent gaze.
"All of you will die here!"
The black-robed man suddenly spoke.
Before he finished speaking, a dazzling light burst out from between the black-robed man's eyebrows. It emitted a heart-palpitating energy fluctuation. Even Su Zimo felt a chill run down his spine.
The black-robed man was so resolute. He wanted to detonate his Dao Fruit and use the terrifying energy from the explosion to drag Lin Xunzhen down with him!
After all, at the peak of the Dongxu Stage, the explosion of one's Dao Fruit could pierce through the void and create a Grotto-Heaven.
Although it was only a Kongming Dao Fruit, once it exploded, it would still produce a terrifying amount of energy.
Buzz!
The immortal sword in Lin Xunzhen's hand trembled slightly.
A flash of sword light entered between the black-robed man's eyebrows and instantly pierced through his primordial spirit!
As the black-robed man died, the light between his eyebrows also dimmed.
Lin Xunzhen seemed to have anticipated this and did not give him a chance to detonate his Dao Fruit.
