Borrowing a sword

Chapter 377 The Cat of the Dao Ancestor, a Thousand-Year-Old Demonic Beast!
Chunqiu Mountain is in an uproar!
A large number of disciples of Chunqiu Mountain looked up at the sky and watched helplessly as their great cultivator was cut in half at the waist by a sword from a true disciple of the Daoist sect!
After his body was cut in two, it instantly turned into a dried-up corpse!

Yuchi Huaide was quite burly, but his corpse had become shriveled and withered.

No one expected that someone in the fourth realm could kill someone in the fifth realm.

No one expected it to be this easy.

"One sword!"

"Just one sword strike!"

"Steward Yuchi...is dead?!"

The outer disciples found it unbelievable, while the inner disciples and true disciples were all terrified!

The closer one gets to the fifth realm of cultivation, the more one understands why only those who reach the fifth realm are called great cultivators.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the sword, and they had different thoughts.

Honestly, everyone felt that this sword looked sinister.

As a result, many people are actually a little scared.

I'm afraid of the sword, and I'm also afraid of this handsome young man.

He looks harmless, even with a male body and female features, and is more exquisite and beautiful than most women.

Unexpectedly, the swordsmanship he practiced and the techniques he cultivated were comparable to those of evil cultivators.
This doesn't look like the behavior of a proper disciple at all!

What's the difference between this and the Emperor's Banner that emits black smoke?
Some people immediately developed a prejudice against the boy.

That's actually quite normal.

After all, Yuchi Huaide's death was rather gruesome.

Not to mention that the boy was currently floating in the air with his sword, and his body was emanating a dark blue and black aura!

It truly was as if an evil god had descended from the sky!
The contrast between his delicate features and the sinister longsword was striking.

The next moment, the boy who looked up at the sky slowly closed his eyes.

The slightly disordered energy within him began to calm down.

Immediately afterwards, his aura began to rise steadily.

All the cultivators who were staring at him knew very well what this meant.

"Is he about to break through?"

He personally slew his enemy and broke through the cultivation realm on the spot!
It was truly a delightful experience!
Watching from the side, Chu Huaixu felt that the Dao Ancestor had indeed given Xiao Xu a rather powerful advantage.

But it makes sense, after all, Yuchi Huaide is a cultivator at the fourth level of the fifth realm, which is a whole major realm higher.

It's quite normal for Xiao Xu to kill and devour it, thus breaking through a minor realm.

But then, something quite unexpected happened.

A mysterious aura began to emanate from Xu Ziqing and spread outwards.

Jiang Zhi's gaze sharpened, and her eyes lit up with joy.

"This is... Condensing the Sword Heart!"

Yuwen Huai and Pei Songji exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with envy.

The Taoist sect today truly boasts three outstanding figures.

"Given time, when Chu Huaixu, Xu Ziqing, and Han Shuangjiang have grown up..."

"The Daoist sect will surely regain its former glory and surpass our three major sects!"

Chu Huaixu watched from the side, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He had always been puzzled, as Xiao Xu was an exceptionally talented swordsman.

Why has the sword heart not yet been formed?

Now, he has the answer.

"It turns out that the inner demons have not been eliminated, so the sword spirit cannot be concentrated."

"Now that the inner demons have been vanquished, the sword's spirit will naturally follow!"

Just then, the people high in the sky suddenly remembered what Chu Huaixu had said earlier.

Before Xu Ziqing drew his sword, he had said a lot to the young man, such as how heavy his sword was and how much of a burden it was.

"So, he saw long ago that the child's inability to condense his sword heart was due to his inner demons?" Yuwen Huai and the others thought.

That's quite an eye!
And the more they do this, the more they possess the qualities of a leader among their peers!
Chu Huaixu was unaware of what others were thinking.

He and Han Shuangjiang are very simple now, they are just happy for Xiao Xu.

Having avenged the massacre of his family, his cultivation level improved, and he even condensed a sword heart on the spot.

"A triple celebration! It's truly a triple celebration!"

The two of them wore smiles like those of an elderly father and mother.

He looked utterly pleased.

Meanwhile, the disciples inside Spring and Autumn Mountain were once again in an uproar.

The young disciples looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with horror and envy.

"Kenshin?"

"He's already formed a sword heart at only the fourth realm?"

"As expected of a prodigy who ranked among the top in both East-West Continent competitions."

"It's second only to Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang, right?"

These people had no idea that if it weren't for the inner demons, Xu Ziqing, with her talent, would probably have condensed her sword heart much earlier than Han Shuangjiang.

Yuchi Lei, the Grand Elder of Chunqiu Mountain, had an extremely grim expression.

He stood suspended in mid-air, yet there was a sense that he was about to fall.

He is very old and doesn't know how much longer he has to live.

In his later years, he lost his beloved son in a tragic manner, and his cultivation was even devoured by this young man!

In addition, his breakthrough in cultivation and the condensation of his sword heart will surely be the talk of the world.

This matter will likely spread throughout the entire Xuanhuang Realm very soon.

While it wasn't as shocking as Chu Huaixu's slaying of Qin Xuanxiao, it certainly generated a lot of buzz.

This means that his son, Yuchi Huaide, will continue to be insulted even after his death.

And the Yuchi family, which he valued, will be completely nailed to the pillar of shame!

How can the Yuchi clan of Chunqiu Mountain face the world now?!

"You traitor! You traitor!!" Yuchi Lei's eyes widened.

Now that things had come to this, he could only suppress his grief and speak:

"Mountain Lord, this matter stems from my failure to properly discipline my son, Yuchi Lei. I will personally go to the Enforcement Court to accept my punishment!" Yuwen Huai nodded and said solemnly, "That is only right!"

This time, the Taoist sect really stole the show.

Chunqiu Mountain, on the other hand, has lost face big time.

If this matter is not handled impartially, we fear we will be ridiculed by the world and our great clan will be disgraced!
At this moment, Yuwen Huai turned to look at Chu Huaixu and said:

"Young friend Chu, please put this Eastern Continent Token away quickly."

"It can't be that bad, it can't be that bad."

Chu Huaixu could understand the meaning and tone in his words.

The fact that the Taoist sect members, newcomers to the area, would do such a thing is indeed a disgrace to Chunqiu Mountain.

Chu Huaixu had just stood up for Xu Ziqing, so he was now willing to take the blame for him.

He immediately cupped his hands and said, "I have been disrespectful, and I hope the mountain lord will forgive me."

His attitude was extremely sincere.

This is indeed something he should do.

As for Xiao Xu, since it's a blood feud, who cares about the form it takes! Revenge is the top priority!

Chu Huaixu would certainly not allow Xu Ziqing to come and apologize.

He didn't think there was anything excessive about this from Xiao Xu's perspective!

At this moment, all that's left is for Xiao Xu to complete the condensation of his sword heart and then open his eyes.

Then, everyone would head to the main hall of Chunqiu Mountain to discuss important matters.

But at that moment, something strange suddenly happened.

Suddenly, a wind began to blow around Chunqiu Mountain.

At first it was just impressive, then the wind started to get stronger and stronger.

What followed was truly a dramatic shift in fortunes.

Jiang Zhi immediately turned around and exchanged glances with Yuwen Huai and the others.

"Is it that senior?" he couldn't help but ask.

Yuwen Huai and Pei Songji immediately frowned, both showing a hint of helplessness on their faces.

“Exactly,” the master of Chunqiu Mountain replied.

He added, "If I remember correctly, Yuchi Huaide did indeed have some connection with that person."

He looked at Jiang Zhi and said, "Brother Jiang, I know that person has a special identity, so it is inconvenient for you to show up."

"I will handle this matter myself and will not cause you any trouble." Yuwen Huai sighed slightly.

Yu Chi Lei, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment, then his heart was filled with joy!
He lost his son in his later years and naturally hoped that someone would stand up for him.

"How could I forget that this unfilial son has some connection with that person, and always serves him diligently on a daily basis."

Han Shuangjiang and Lin Zixuan looked around, their faces showing surprise and shock.

What level of cultivation is this, that it can so easily cause the wind and clouds to change color!
The large ice block immediately looked at Chu Huaixu, only to see his gaze darken and his brows furrow slightly.

The dead fox knew in its heart who had instigated all of this.

A voice suddenly rang out from inside the gate of Chunqiu Mountain. It was as loud as thunder and as resounding as a great bell, making one's eardrums vibrate.

"I have only been in seclusion for a few months! And Yuchi Huaide's life tablet has already been shattered!"

"Who is so audacious as to kill one of my servants!"

The moment the words were spoken, the Spring and Autumn Mountain erupted in chaos once again.

"Cat Protector!"

"It's the Cat Protector!"

"What's going on? Is the Cat Protector going to stand up for Yuchi Huaide?!"

The situation has truly taken many twists and turns.

On a high mountain in the Spring and Autumn Mountains, dark clouds began to gather.

Within the dark clouds, streaks of lightning swirled.

A monstrous creature shrouded in the rolling black clouds is heading towards the heavens!

"Young Jiang, you're here too."

"Could it be that you, brat, killed one of my servants?!"

A booming voice rang out again, in a tone of accusation.

Jiang Zhi's expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.

You know, he's quite old, yet he was called "Little Jiang" in front of so many people.

The other party kept calling him "little boy".

Jiang Zhi's seniority in the Taoist sect is undeniable; he is the sect leader's junior uncle!

But from the other side's perspective, there really is a difference of countless generations.

As is widely known, the Dao Ancestor once found a cat demon in his early years.

Later, he gifted this monster to the patriarch of Chunqiu Mountain.

This cat is also regarded by many as a token of their love.

And this cat demon has guarded this mountain gate for a full thousand years!

A thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

It became the highest-ranking existence in the Taoist sect and Chunqiu Mountain.

People from both sects actually have to call it Ancestor.

The cultivation speed of demonic beasts is actually extremely slow.

But no matter how slow it is, it has already entered the ninth realm in the past thousand years.

Yes, the Dao Ancestor once gave it a fragment of the Primordial Origin.

Now, this unparalleled demon is riding the clouds and mist, coming to demand an explanation!
The dark cloud quickly arrived in front of everyone.

A black cat shrouded in dark clouds swept its eyes over everyone present with an extremely arrogant attitude.

Until it saw the Chu Huai Preface.

The next moment, its cat eyes turned into vertical slits in fright!
"Why are you here!"

"Chu Huaixu, what brings you here!?"

Immediately afterwards, the black cloud fled backward at top speed.
