Ban Yao was undoubtedly familiar with this flying sword. The first time she had encountered Lu Xiaotian, she had been wounded by this flying sword and had fled back to her cave abode.
Amidst the familiarity, there was also a hint of unfamiliarity. The flying sword's aura was clearly different from before. Amidst its lightness, there was an additional sense of mysteriousness that was as deep as an abyss.
However, the tip of the sword was as sharp as ever.
"Who dares to launch a sneak attack?" The demonic beasts that had intercepted Ban Yao were shocked. They weren't weak by any means, but the sword had come so quickly and strangely that they hadn't had much time to react before it had already injured one of them. How could they not be fearful of such methods?
"You're surrounded by four and you still have the audacity to criticize others. All of you, stay here. "An indifferent voice sounded from the depths of the sea.
Before the voice had even faded, the seemingly ordinary Ethereal Flying Sword hovered in the sea. Its abyss-like aura had already spread out and completely enveloped this region of the sea.
This abyss-like sword domain covered an area of five hundred kilometers.
The Plum Blossom Demonic Octopuses were just about to circulate their spiritual power or communicate with the outside world when they discovered that their spiritual sense had been severed in an instant.
Their opponent hadn't even appeared yet, but this sword domain was already so domineering.
At that moment, the Ethereal Flying Sword was just like Chihiro Yeh's Abyss Engulfing Sword. The sword slowly swam through the sea and occasionally slashed out bursts of sword Qi toward the four Plum Blossom Demonic Octopuses.
The four demonic beasts realized that their physical bodies were no match for this seemingly ordinary flying sword that possessed astonishing destructive power. It wasn't something that could be blocked by their physical bodies or ordinary abilities. They immediately summoned their magic treasures and began to battle the Ethereal Flying Sword.
Lu Xiaotian's Lotus Clone had gained a preliminary understanding of the Abyss Engulfing Sword's profundities and its strength had greatly increased. In terms of magic power, it had already reached the mid-Body Integration Stage. However, Lu Xiaotian's battle experience was so rich that almost no one in the same cultivation level could match him. He had already fought three late-Body Integration Stage cultivators and killed two of them. This was a battle of life and death, so both his eyesight and soul power were far superior to those of these four Body Integration Stage demon beasts.
Even without using any other trump cards, this flying sword alone was already able to contend with the four Body Integration Stage demon beasts.
However, he was up against four Body Integration Stage demon beasts, after all, and it wouldn't be difficult for him to defeat them with just his sword arts to buy Lu Xiaotian some time. It would be quite difficult to trap and kill these fellows when they realized that something was wrong and tried their best to break out.
The four Body Integration Stage demon beasts glanced at one another, and they were already contemplating a retreat, perhaps because they had sensed that the owner of this flying sword was far too difficult to deal with. Just as they were about to retreat, several Devouring Arrows pierced through the water toward them.
Even though the power of the Arrows of Annihilation had been reduced to a certain extent in the deep sea, Lu Xiaotian had already reached the mid-Body Integration Stage, so the power of the four Arrows of Annihilation was still quite astonishing.
The four Devouring Arrows of Annihilation were like four wyrms hurtling through the water, arriving before the four Body Integration Stage demon beasts in the blink of an eye.
The four Body Integration Stage demon beasts unleashed all sorts of trump cards to block the four Devouring Arrows of Annihilation. However, the injured Plum Blossom Demonic Octopus was having a difficult time.
Just as its movements faltered slightly, the Ethereal Flying Sword had already slashed down from above its head. The Plum Blossom Demonic Octopus's defenses were instantly sliced in half.
The other three demon beasts were greatly alarmed to see this. With their companion dead, they no longer had any desire to continue fighting.
Ban Yao also mustered up her remaining courage and summoned a magic treasure to interfere with a slightly weaker Plum Blossom Demonic Octopus. She was trying to alleviate some of the pressure on Lu Xiaotian and create an opportunity for him to kill these demon beasts.
The remaining demon beasts had already been intimidated by the Ethereal Flying Sword, so killing another demon beast was already enough to make them tremble in fear. At this point, they no longer had any desire to continue fighting.
When two sides met on a narrow path, only the courageous would emerge victorious. In a situation where the two sides were already unevenly matched and the other side had already lost the will to fight, the consequences were self-evident.
With Ban Yao's assistance, Lu Xiaotian was able to kill another demon beast. His advantage continued to expand and the battle had already ceased before it reached its climax. The Devouring Arrows of Annihilation in the sea turned into spirit light and returned to the cave residence.
The spirit light on the Ethereal Flying Sword was like a rope that grabbed onto the two remaining demon beasts' primordial spirits.
"The butterfly tide is less than six hundred kilometers away. Quickly return to the cave residence." After leaving behind these words, the Ethereal Flying Sword shot back toward the cave residence.
Ban Yao looked in the direction that Lu Xiaotian had left in. To be more precise, she was looking in the direction that the Ethereal Flying Sword had left and her mouth gaped open. Her grandfather, Ban Qianren, had asked Lu Xiaotian to help but had been bluntly refused.
Ban Yao had been unable to calm her anger. If it weren't for Ban Qianren stopping her, she would have gone to find Lu Xiaotian to reason with him. Due to Lu Xiaotian's unwillingness to cooperate, Ban Yao had to come out every once in a while to hunt weaker Body Integration Stage demon beasts in order to prevent the restrictions of the cave abode from being broken by other Body Integration Stage demon beasts.
Ban Yao was quite powerful and had succeeded twice. She had even severely injured a demon sea lion of the same level.
However, if one walked by the river often, their shoes would eventually get wet. This time, Ban Yao had been intercepted by the other party. After being besieged for a while, she had sustained heavy injuries. She had thought that her time was up and that even Ban Qianren wouldn't be able to save her in this situation. Who would have thought that Lu Xiaotian, who had previously refused to go out to hunt, would actually take action this time. Furthermore, his actions were earth-shattering. The four demon beasts that had severely injured her hadn't been able to last long against Lu Xiaotian. Not even a single primordial spirit had been able to escape.
With great shock, Ban Yao dragged her injured body back into the cave residence and temporarily escaped danger.
"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist. Otherwise, this old man's granddaughter really wouldn't have been able to escape this calamity." After Ban Yao returned to the cave, the shocked Ban Qianren immediately rushed over to thank Lu Xiaotian.
"There's no need for that. We're all in the cave residence and I will act when the time comes. If there's nothing special, don't disturb my cultivation."
With such a cave residence, even without Ban Yao, Lu Xiaotian would still be able to kill other demon beasts if they came to attack the cave residence.
"Grandfather, let's go back so that we don't disturb Fellow Daoist Xiang's cultivation." Faced with Lu Xiaotian's cold attitude, Ban Yao, who had originally planned on thanking him, was a little angry. Since he wasn't willing, there was no need for the two of them to stick their warm faces to his cold ass.
Ban Qianren ignored Ban Yao and continued, "Fellow Daoist, Ban Yao's injuries are quite severe. If she doesn't receive proper treatment, it will be difficult for her to fully recover in a year or so. Do you have any healing pills on you?"
