Chapter 637 - 637 14 Lifebound Artifact Master
637: Chapter 14: Lifebound Artifact Master 637: Chapter 14: Lifebound Artifact Master With just one sword.
The body of the young man in black shattered, starting from his chest and heart, collapsing in all directions.
The snow was like a thick quilt.
Snow swirled around Jiang Miaoyin, and the screeches of the Snow Demon echoed through the deep mountains.
[Chronic Illness] retreated, hanging over Jiang Miaoyin’s head.
She stood in the heavy snow, her Lifebound Flying Sword vibrating with strands of radiance, the Sword Qi shattering countless gusts of wind and snow, eventually forming a silver-white sword shield that enveloped her head.
“On the way here, I was wondering…
where exactly has the ‘Snow Demon’ imprisoned in the Ice Soul Cave Heaven gone.”
Jiang Miaoyin whispered, “If you didn’t show up, I would have been even more uneasy.”
In these past few days.
She was in seclusion before the Sword Stele, deliberately setting up a sword array to defend against…
this Snow Demon!
“Interesting.”
The snow rolled and a vague figure could be faintly seen.
The Snow Demon stood outside the Sword Qi Formation, speaking in a low voice, “You drew your sword just like that?”
“The shell may look similar, but it is only external.”
Jiang Miaoyin said calmly, “You and senior brother are different…”
“How so?”
“Different in every way.”
“Really?”
The Snow Demon clutched its chest, unable to help but sneer, “Should I praise you for your sharp eyes or commend you for your self-awareness…
My ‘illusion technique’ may have its flaws, but the greatest loophole just now must have been that your senior brother would never address you in that way, right?”
Jiang Miaoyin chuckled lightly, “So?”
Indeed.
Xie Xuanyi would either call her junior sister or Miao Yin.
These four words had almost never been used together.
“So, you too are a pitiable person.”
The Snow Demon said gloomily.
She released the hand covering her chest.
Though it transformed into wind and snow, having no physical form, after cultivating to the Yin God Realm, the Sword Qi could directly strike the Divine Soul…
The two swords just now had wounded it.
The thin figure in the wind and snow looked down at the “piercing sword wound” in its chest and chuckled softly, “Clearly connected at heart, with sword strikes hitting the same spot, yet what a pitiful state…
I once thought you and your senior brother were a pair of lovebirds, but it turns out to be a joke.”
“What did you say?”
Jiang Miaoyin furrowed her brow, not quite understanding the meaning of the Snow Demon’s words.
But in the next moment.
The wind and snow instantly dissipated.
The entire deep mountain smoothed out instantly.
This Snow Demon, imprisoned in the “Ice Soul Cave Heaven,” had no physical form to begin with, and at this moment, it actively dispersed its Divine Thought, ceasing to fight.
Thus, the winds and snowy roars in the cave heaven all dissipated, leaving only silence.
The large snowflakes, losing the boost of the wind, fell slowly.
Jiang Miaoyin looked blankly in the direction she came from.
A figure in black, controlling a sword, flew towards her, a golden Divine Embryo floating above, navigating the Life and Death Realm.
Jiang Miaoyin stood frozen in place.
She finally understood why the Snow Demon had condensed such an image earlier…
The [Chronic Illness] hanging above her head lightly trembled.
Meanwhile.
The [Chronic Illness] driven by the golden Divine Embryo also trembled.
The Snow Demon’s illusion technique was actually almost perfect.
But unfortunately.
Even if it imitated Xie Xuanyi’s appearance, tone, and demeanor…
it could never create a second [Chronic Illness].
[Chronic Illness] and [Chronic Illness] are connected at heart.
As long as there was a trace of Sword Qi.
Jiang Miaoyin could distinguish the true from the false.
“…Senior brother?”
She looked at the figure controlling a sword in the heavy snow, momentarily dazed.
“Are you alright?
Where is the Snow Demon?”
Xie Xuanyi stopped his flying sword, landing in front of Jiang Miaoyin.
Just moments ago, the Snow Demon he had been locking onto with his Divine Thought suddenly dissipated.
“I…
am fine.”
Jiang Miaoyin shook her head.
Hearing words of concern, a touch of warmth passed through her heart.
Jiang Miaoyin softly said, “The Snow Demon was exposed and has already dispersed.”
“This Great Demon had been imprisoned in the Ice Soul Cave Heaven for a hundred years.
The former master of Yuqing Mountain, using wind and snow as shackles, suppressed her.”
Xie Xuanyi was somewhat regretful, “This creature is always cunning.
When I was studying the ‘Sword Stele’ back then, she tried to use illusion technique to breach my Heart Lake…
I fought her and let her escape.”
Although he said this.
Xie Xuanyi, after ensuring his junior sister was unharmed by scanning her with Divine Thought, his tone relaxed considerably.
“Senior brother needn’t worry, the Snow Demon cannot breach my Dao Heart.”
Jiang Miaoyin gently said, “…
I have the ‘Lifebound Flying Sword’ protecting me.”
[Chronic Illness] dispersed its sharp Sword Intent, slowly descending into its master’s palm.
Her jade fingers lightly touched the flying sword.
The clear sound of the sword echoed throughout the deep snow valley.
Back when the Snow Demon tried to beguile Xie Xuanyi.
It was a pity.
Xie Xuanyi, who focused solely on cultivating Sword Intent, had no vulnerabilities in his Heart Lake; he had no concept of a “Heart Demon.”
Therefore, the Snow Demon’s enticement ended in failure.
However, Jiang Miaoyin was different.
In truth, her Dao Heart had a significant flaw…
and that was Xie Xuanyi.
The Snow Demon could transform into Xie Xuanyi’s appearance, but it could not replicate [Chronic Illness].
In a certain sense, being unable to deceive [Chronic Illness], its illusion technique could not work on Jiang Miaoyin.
…
…
The white Sword Qi Stele hung in midair.
Black and white stood before the Stele.
A talisman slowly burned, emitting a faint glow, forming a “campfire” under the two.
With Xie Xuanyi and Jiang Miaoyin’s cultivation, they didn’t need a campfire against the cold…
It was a Thunder Fire Talisman for shielding Qi Mechanism Sensing.
If the Snow Demon attempted to spy on this place with Divine Thought, the Thunder Fire Talisman would issue a warning.
“Senior brother stepping into the Thirty-three Cave Heavens, there must be an ‘important matter,’ right?”
Jiang Miaoyin took the initiative to speak.
“Indeed, there is.”
Xie Xuanyi nodded and said, “I went to the Li Kingdom and saw a glimpse of the ‘future’.
He recounted the story within the River of Destiny.
