Chapter 142 - 115: Ascend to the Nine Levels, Retrieve the Immortal Sword
A stick of incense had burned down, and the intense fighting gradually subsided. Chi Yu Zi, Jun Yan, and Jade Sword Buddha each stood at one end of the Sword Pond, gasping for breath. Their states revealed the slight differences in their combat capabilities.
Jade Sword Buddha was the strongest, only breathing slightly rapidly. Jun Yan followed, and due to the defensive power of the Demon Sword and the ability to drive the Great Demon’s dharma form, he was the least injured. As for Chi Yu Zi, she was in the worst condition, covered in wounds, but uniquely, she was not out of breath.
Gu Wen could only attribute this to the effect of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill; perhaps Chi Yu Zi’s attacks were not the strongest, but she was the most enduring.
The combined mana of the other two likely did not match Chi Yu Zi’s.
The attacks of Jade Sword Buddha, the defense of Jun Yan, and the endurance of Chi Yu Zi—none had managed to gain a decisive advantage. Who would emerge victorious was still uncertain, plus there were the three of them observing.
Gu Wen glanced at Xiao Yunyi and asked, "Don’t you want the Immortal Sword?"
The Immortal Sword was transformed by the founder of his Broken Sword Mountain, and by the Law, he was the most qualified to claim it. Besides, which swordsman wouldn’t yearn for the rare and unique Immortal Sword?
But Xiao Yunyi appeared unnaturally calm, eerily so.
Xiao Yunyi indifferently said, "Do you see the sword?"
Gu Wen looked, and only a jet-black sword scabbard stood erect, within a hundred meters, no wind or waves stirred, and any residual waves from their battle were neutralized into nothingness.
