Si Huaifei's expression turned solemn as he sensed the sword will.
The guilt on Shi Jing's face became even thicker.
They walked to the innermost part of the room.
They saw a black-robed youth sitting cross-legged on a stone bed.
His right sleeve was also half-empty. His arm, like Shi Jing, had been severed at the elbow.
His eyes were tightly shut, and his face was covered in cold sweat. His body was even trembling slightly.
From within his body, the extremely ferocious and terrifying sword intent that could sever everything was surging unceasingly, but it was imprisoned within his body, unable to break free.
Rays of faint golden sword light formed a tangible cage that surrounded the stone bed, helping the black-robed youth suppress the sword will within his body.
To the side stood an old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion.
The old man looked at the black-robed youth in Silence, his expression benevolent as he praised, "Much better than before."
The black-robed youth had a pained expression, but he gritted his teeth and did not make a sound. He only nodded slowly and resolutely.
"Just a little longer." The old man's tone was encouraging, but there was a hint of undetectable worry in the depths of his eyes.
Si Huaifei and Shi Jing, who had rushed in, nodded.
Si Huaifei and Shi Jing bowed to the old man in unison, then stood silently to the side, looking at the black-robed youth with concern.
A moment later, the old man reached out and formed a sword seal with his index and middle fingers. His fingertip lightly tapped the Baihui acupoint on the youth's head.
The youth's body trembled, and it was as if endless golden light was about to burst out of his body.
He seemed to have turned into a rising sun.
The sunlight shone for a moment before gradually receding. The youth's pained expression disappeared, but he had also fainted. His expression was calm, like a baby.
Shi Jing hurried forward to support his body, helping him lie down on the stone bed.
Si Huaifei looked at the old man and said, "Master, the Demon Emperor has agreed to the ten-day duel you proposed."
The old man in front of him was the former number one of the righteous path in the Divine Central Plains, the Sword King Tao Wangji.
He nodded lightly. "At least we have a little more time. I hope Astral Radiance can stabilize."
As he spoke, the old man turned to his eldest disciple, Si Huaifei. "When I am not here, I will need you to help Astral Radiance stabilize the situation.
You have always been steady, and I believe that you will not lower your guard. However, I still have to remind you that you must be on your guard. "
"Yes, Master. This disciple will keep it in mind," Si Huaifei answered.
Sword Emperor Tao Wangji's gaze landed on Jie Xingmang, who had fallen into a deep slumber, "Don't blame me for being too long-winded. Xingmang's step forward is a great opportunity for him, but to the people of the world, it might be a catastrophe."
Noticing that his little disciple Shi Jing's face became even more ashamed, Tao Wangji said, "Calm your mind."
When Shi Jing heard this, his body trembled. He bowed and said, "Disciple is slow-witted. Thank you for your concern, Master."
"If you want to talk about responsibility, the responsibility lies with me. Master's recovery was not as fast as the Devil Emperor's, which is why I let you guys take over my responsibility." Tao Wangji said.
He looked at his remaining three disciples and sighed slightly. He did not continue to talk about this and said, "The Starlight Sword Force has gone too far and gone to the extreme, which is why today's events have happened. Your sword will is relatively mild, so I am not worried. I only hope that you will not go to the extreme."
Si Huaifei and Shi Jing both bowed and answered, "We will listen to Master's teachings."
Looking at Jie Xingmang, who was in a deep sleep, both of them felt sad.
Jie Xingmang's nickname was "Absolute Sword". His sword force was extremely sharp and decisive, filled with killing intent. Among the disciples of the Sword Pavilion, he had always been an oddity.
The Sword King Tao Wangji had hoped to correct him in his early years, but Jie Xingmang had his own beliefs in swordsmanship. Thus, Tao Wangji could only discipline him.
All these years, nothing had happened.
Until this time, when he suffered a huge setback at the hands of the Devil religion.
Ever since he was young, Jie Xingmang had often fought against opponents stronger than him. He had suffered many losses and was covered in injuries.
Truthfully speaking, although he had lost his right arm and was captured and tortured by the Devil religion, he could still bear it.
But after knowing that his close Second Senior Brother Xiang Ping and Third Senior Brother Nie Hua had died, Jie Xingmang's mentality finally changed.
Guilt, anger, hatred, sorrow, and the rejection of his own helplessness made his already extreme sword will go one step further.
He was a genius in swordsmanship and had peerless talent and comprehension.
Under the change in his mentality, he broke through some taboo bottom line and dove straight into the abyss.
His extremely vicious sword will went one step further and reached a whole new realm.
But it was also a power that he could not control.
When he lost control, this terrifying sword will that could sever everything would only end himself first.
Fortunately, the few of them finally met Master Tao Wangji who was on the way back.
The Sword King Tao Wangji acted and stabilized Jie Xingmang's rebellious cultivation. Otherwise, Si Huaifei alone might have the ability to kill him, but would not be able to save him.
"Master, you said that Fourth Senior Brother's sword will is similar to the Sword Emperor's?" Shi Jing asked.
"According to Huaifei's description, after Wang Jian's sword will evolved, it also has some traces of the Netherworld Twelve Swords." Tao Wangji said, "However, his sword will is more like the Sword of Destruction, while Xingmang's is the Sword of Extinction."
Si Huaifei and Shi Jing pondered over their master's words.
"That is not a swordsmanship that should exist in the human world. Master's understanding of it is limited, and I have only heard of it. But I can be sure that this sword is extremely vicious, and its killing intent surpasses all swordsmanship in the human world." Tao Wangji said, "The Netherworld Twelve Swords, to be precise, should be called the Twelve Styles of Netherworld Exterminating Sword Will. There are three styles in each of the Netherworld, Death, Extinction, and Extinction. It is rumored that there is a style called the Ominous Sword of Extinction. The end of Xingmang's sword seems to be this style."
He looked at Jie Xingmang, "However, whether it is Wang Jian or Xingmang, their sword wills only have some traces of the Netherworld Twelve Swords, and cannot be considered the real Netherworld Twelve Swords.
Therefore, Xingmang still has some room to maneuver, and it is not that there is no hope for him to control such a sword in the future, but it is still too early for him now. If he uses the sword, it will become the sword controlling him, and it will bring disaster. "
Shi Jing said in a low voice, "The Sword Emperor once said that his swordsmanship before his death might be related to the Demon Emperor.
Recently, the news from the Divine Boat Central Plains said that Empress Yan Mingkong's sword was also extremely fierce.
The Devil religion might have inherited some of the Netherworld Twelve Swords. Master, you are about to fight with the Demon Emperor, you must be careful. "
Tao Wangji said, "Don't worry, I will be careful."
As he said this, the elder's expression suddenly changed slightly.
After he focused, he sent his voice out, "Who is this guest, why don't you show yourself?"
After a while, Si Huaifei's expression also changed slightly, and he turned to look at the entrance of the cave.
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked into the cave.
His right hand was hidden in his sleeve, behind his back.
"The swordsmanship of the Heaven Sword Scripture, and such a pure cultivation, you are the Sword Pavilion Master, Tao Wangji?"
The Sword King Tao Wangji looked at the other person in Silence, and said, "I am Tao Wangji, how do I address you?"
The middle-aged man answered, "My surname is Cheng, Cheng Huyuan.
I live in the south, and have traveled to the Milky Way before. Although I have not seen you before, I have always admired the Milky Way.
I took the liberty to meet you today, I hope you do not take offense. "
Hearing his words, Si Huaifei and Shi Jing were both suspicious.
The south had always been occupied by the Devil religion.
But they had never heard of such a person.
Not to mention, although they had not fought, they could feel that this person's cultivation was high, and seemed to have surpassed the thirteenth realm.
How could such a powerful Emperor Wu in the Trance realm be unknown in the Divine Land before?
If he was a member of the Devil religion, then the Devil religion would not have to wait until recently to sweep across the Divine Land.
"Cheng?" Tao Wangji's white brows raised slightly, "I am not a direct disciple of the Milky Way, it is normal that you have not seen me before. But I have heard of your surname, and the way you call yourself …"
A smile appeared on Cheng Huyuan's face, and he nodded.
Then, as if to prove something, a faint glow appeared on his body.
Different from the vastness of the Sword King's Haotian Divine Sword, the glow on Cheng Huyuan's body presented an unbridled and domineering aura.
The glow seemed to be burning, like flames.
Si Huaifei and Shi Jing looked at each other.
This concept was different from the Devil religion's Celestial King Technique.
Without the concept of the sun, it was just pure flames.
But it seemed to be more domineering than the sun.
"The Book of Glory." Tao Wangji nodded, "It is similar to the rumors that I heard, but I's eyesight is shallow, and it is difficult for me to distinguish truth from falsehood."
"What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true, just like my Book of Glory and your Heavenly Sword Scripture." Cheng Huyuan said, "However, I am here for the Ancient God's Chen Luoyang."
Si Huaifei and Shi Jing were even more confused when they heard this.
But the two of them did not make a sound, and only silently guarded Jie Xingmang, letting Master Tao Wangji deal with the other party.
Cheng Huyuan continued, "Coincidentally, I heard that you have a conflict with Chen Luoyang, so I feel that we can work together."
Tao Wangji asked, "What does Your Highness plan to do?"
"If This Prince didn't guess wrong, Chen Luoyang's challenge to Old Mister was to lure This Prince out." Cheng Huyuan said, "He also knows of this Prince's existence and has his guard up. The battle in ten days is more of a plot to kill this Prince. There's no disrespect in saying this, but since Old Mister is in the light and this Prince is in the dark, he would naturally be more willing to eliminate this Prince first."
"What does Your Highness mean?" Tao Wangji asked.
Cheng Huyuan said, "He who strikes first gains the upper hand. Before the ten days are up, you and I will work together to attack Chen Luoyang. There is no need to be restricted when dealing with this kind of evil, and it is better not to bind ourselves."
Tao Wangji shook his head, "Forgive me, I cannot cooperate with Your Highness' plan."
"You do not trust me?" Cheng Huyuan said, "I have other ways to prove my identity."
Tao Wangji said, "Your Highness is too serious. I naturally trust your words, but as you can see, my disciple's situation is critical, and he cannot leave I's care. I set the ten day deadline because I have no other choice. If possible, I only hope that the deadline can be as long as possible."
Cheng Huyuan stared at him for a while, then nodded slightly, "If that is the case, I will not force you. I can only wish you success in the battle ten days later. Since you have to take care of your disciple, I will not disturb you any further. I will take my leave now."
"In the battle ten days later, I can only do my best." Tao Wangji nodded, "Take care, Your Highness. Forgive me for not being able to see you off."
He said to Si Huaifei, "Huaifei, see His Highness off on behalf of Master."
"Yes, Master." Si Huaifei left with Cheng Huyuan.
Cheng Huyuan did not say anything else, and calmly left the cave, leaving Jade Spoon Island.
As he crossed the sea, he thought about what to do next.
However, halfway through, he suddenly felt a sense of danger.
In the distant horizon, a ball of fiery red dragon's aura was obviously waiting for him!
