Chapter 1354 Stable
The aftershocks of the battle gradually subsided, and the world returned to silence.
Jiang Han stood in mid-air, holding the golden eagle's primordial spirit in his hand, using the Soul Searching Technique to carefully examine the other party's memories. He appeared completely unguarded, as if he were an easy target for a sneak attack.
Thousands of miles away, a red-haired youth cautiously hid in the void, doing his best to conceal his aura, not daring to move, his heart pounding incessantly.
Are you kidding me? After a big battle, instead of finding a secluded place to recuperate, they stayed in the same spot without any defenses and started searching for souls, without even setting up a protective formation. This just doesn't seem right.
Without a doubt, this kid is trying to provoke him into making a move!
"In just a few dozen breaths, he killed all six Golden Eagle Demons. What is the origin of this sword cultivator in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm? Such combat power is simply too unbelievable!"
I originally thought that a mid-stage Nascent Soul sword cultivator, no matter how strong, was no match for the six Golden Eagle Demons. Even if two of the great demons were killed or wounded, I was sure I could take them down.
Surprisingly, even after all six demons were dead, the sword cultivator was not injured in the slightest.
Ling Yu was deeply shaken. Images of the other person wielding a sword and killing enemies flashed through her mind. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this person's strength was unfathomable.
Let alone it, its strength is only slightly stronger than the golden eagle, and it is no match for this swordsman. It is likely that only the ape commander himself can defeat this swordsman.
After a long while, seeing that the sword cultivator had finished searching the soul and started meditating to regulate his breathing, and still showed no intention of leaving, Ling Yu felt a growing restlessness in her heart.
While they're still arrogant and haven't left, we should report to the commander first...
Without hesitation, it suppressed its rapid breathing and spared no effort to expend its spiritual energy to activate the breath-concealing technique. Only after confirming that everything was foolproof did it cautiously take half a step back.
It didn't make a sound, but it still couldn't help but look up and quickly scan the area around the other party, very nervously, afraid that the terrifying swordsman would notice its movements.
Only after confirming that the other party had not noticed did it hurriedly suppress its excitement and quietly retreat again.
After a full half hour, it finally retreated to a distance of tens of thousands of miles, slowly revealing its form in the void. Like a transparent phantom, it cautiously darted away into the distance, its speed increasing rapidly, almost as if it were fleeing for its life.
Only after landing outside the leader's cave did Ling Yu's tension finally dissipate, and she took deep breaths by the cliff.
Never in its wildest dreams had it been so terrified by a sword cultivator in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm that it fled like a stray dog with its tail between its legs.
A young sword cultivator capable of instantly killing six late-stage Nascent Soul demons without sustaining a single injury...
This person must be the most outstanding genius of the human race's major clan, and his own fortune must be extremely strong.
If you can devour it, you will definitely obtain a very high-level Immortal Palace Token. Combined with the tokens you already have, it might even help the commander step into the third level of the Immortal Palace!
Composing herself, Ling Yu suppressed her shock, straightened her clothes, and after ensuring she had not acted improperly, she stepped to the entrance of the cave and bowed in greeting:
"Ling Yu has returned and requests an audience with the Commander."
The echo reverberated far across the mountaintop, and after a brief silence, a somewhat languid voice finally broke the silence from within the cave:
"speak."
After saying that, the ape leader asked with some surprise, "What about the humans? Didn't they bring back their bodies?"
Upon hearing the word "corpse," Ling Yu couldn't help but recall the scene of six powerful demons being slain by a single sword strike. Her heart tightened, and she lowered her head to reply:
"Reporting to the commander, that human's combat strength is extremely strong, and the Golden Eagle and his men were unable to succeed."
"what?"
Inside the cave, the water of the spiritual spring rippled gently. The ape leader sat up from the bank, turned slightly to look outside the cave, and looked somewhat surprised.
Although Golden Eagle is an impatient and unreliable kid, his strength is enough to rank him among the top ten of all the squad leaders under his command.
Moreover, this little eagle loves to make a grand entrance, so it certainly won't go alone on this trip; it will bring at least three or five powerful demons with it to show off.
Judging from Ling Yu's words, it seems that their mission failed.
After a brief silence, the ape leader asked in a deep voice, "Where are their men? What are their casualties?"
Ling Yu lowered her head even further and said in a hoarse voice:
"Dead, all dead."
"The golden eagle brought five late-stage Nascent Soul demonic beasts with it on this trip, but all of them were killed by that sword cultivator; none escaped..."
Its eyes were somewhat vacant, and at the end it shook its head abruptly, raising its voice sharply:
"Commander, that sword cultivator is a very rare person who cultivates both lightning and sword. Although his cultivation level is only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his combat strength is terrifying, and his speed is extremely fast. He is definitely not an ordinary person."
"The Golden Eagles and the others couldn't even withstand a single sword strike from him before they were all killed, without even a chance to escape."
Its voice was so powerful that the ape leader in the cave was filled with alarm.
It had long known that this person, who had reached this point, must be extremely difficult to deal with.
But it never expected that the opponent would be so powerful.
It was well aware of the golden eagle's strength. Even though it was only at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm and many of its techniques were difficult to use, it was enough to fight against two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators with just its own bloodline and physical strength.
Even so, the little eagle still died, without even a chance to escape.
This sword cultivator at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm has such outrageous combat power.
The ape leader was shocked, and then a raging fire surged within him.
Although the little eagle's behavior was somewhat annoying, it still quite liked the little eagle's personality. Now that the other party was dead, how could it sit idly by?
The ape leader stood up with a gloomy face, took a step and was outside the cave. The water droplets on his body instantly turned into spiritual energy and were absorbed by him.
It looked down at the sea of clouds beyond the mountains and said in a cold voice, "Where is that sword cultivator? This commander will go and meet him personally."
Ling Yu looked up with great joy: "I have left a mark near that sword cultivator, so I can go find him at any time."
That sword cultivator was indeed too strong, but as long as they went all out and gathered more than a hundred great demons to surround and kill him, no matter how powerful that sword cultivator was, he would only die with regret!
Ling Yu felt much more at ease and asked, "When does the commander plan to depart, and how many men will he be taking with him?"
"Why go through all that trouble?"
Commander Ape parted his thick lips and sneered, "Even the strongest sword cultivator in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm has his limits. With me here in person, it's enough to take him down."
"Don't forget, I am a peak late-stage Nascent Soul expert. I can take on ten of those Golden Eagles by myself!"
As it finished speaking, its aura exploded with a thunderous roar, and its dark demonic energy condensed into a massive black pillar thicker than a mountain, shooting straight into the sky and stirring up the wind and clouds.
The entire mountain was overwhelmed and trembled beneath its feet.
Ling Yu trembled with fright, knelt down in a panic, and said urgently, "I was just distracted by that sword cultivator and spoke in a moment of weakness. Please punish me, Commander!"
The ape leader looked down at it, grinned silently, and revealed a set of sharp, gleaming teeth.
But since they were among its few trusted confidants, it quickly suppressed its dissatisfaction, stopped its sneer, and regained its composure, saying softly:
"It doesn't matter."
"Thank you for your mercy, Commander!" Ling Yu hurriedly kowtowed in gratitude.
The ape leader nodded in satisfaction and slowly said:
"However, what you said makes sense. This human is not weak, but his cultivation level is really too low. If I, the commander, were to take action personally, it would be too much of a bully..."
"In that case, go and summon Qingfeng, Huangshe, and Menghu, and have them lead the troops to attack and surround and kill that human cultivator. With them on the task, that will be enough."
Ling Yu replied as if granted a pardon, "Yes, I will go and inform them immediately!"
Although the Commander did not personally take action, these three great demons were second only to the Commander in strength.
In addition, there were demon armies accompanying them, each with seven or eight late-stage Nascent Soul demons under their command.
With such a large force, dealing with a mid-stage Nascent Soul sword cultivator would be no problem at all, let alone beating up and killing a dozen late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
This time, it should be a sure thing.
