Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled Chapter 448 - 444: Using Force Against Force, Ninth Daughter

Xia Feng fought against the two sword beasts for three whole hours, eventually completely adapting to the intensity of their strikes.

He even managed to discern so of their habits from their attacks.

Although the sharp swords could erge from various parts of their bodies, there was still a process involved.

As long as Xia Feng’s body technique was fast enough, those sharp swords couldn’t catch up with him, leaving the two sword beasts to vent their frustration helplessly.

Xia Feng even learned to use their force against them, causing the two sword beasts to almost fight each other in anger.

One of them originally aid a horizontal slash at Xia Feng, but Xia Feng’s Heaven-Burying Sword tapped its head, instantly changing the sword’s direction.

It directly swept across to strike the other sword beast.

The other sword beast howled in pain, and although it was equally annoyed with Xia Feng, it deliberately ceased avoiding its companion during the fight.

As they continued fighting, genuine anger erupted between them, and instead of just ambushing Xia Feng, they began to sabotage each other more frequently.

However, Xia Feng squinted his eyes and watched with a smile, without intervening.

Eventually, Xia Feng glanced at the sky, feeling a bit bored, and finally spun his Heaven-Burying Sword into a flourish, swiftly piercing the two sword beasts, taking them both down.

Li Qingxue walked over, her expression a bit inquisitive as she looked at the two corpses that hadn’t yet vanished.

"Did you achieve enlightennt in battle?"

Xia Feng shrugged: "Not really enlightennt, just... broke through so kind of restraint, I guess?"

Li Qingxue’s expression held so confusion, but Xia Feng smiled and didn’t continue explaining.

"You take the sword hearts of the nine Celestial Tier Second Layer Martial Gods, and we each take one from the First Grade Celestial God."

While tempted, Li Qingxue shook her head, rejecting the very enticing offer.

"I’ll just take the sword hearts of those nine martial gods, you absorb the one from the Celestial God first."

Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, concerned Li Qingxue might misunderstand, and she quickly said: "I can’t absorb divine grades yet."

"I took so long to absorb the Celestial Tier Seventh Martial God Level ones just now, so let consolidate first before trying again."

"Although my foundation is quite strong compared to Li Qingyu, it still doesn’t match yours. Attempting to absorb beyond my level could collapse my Sword Dao, outweighing any gains."

Xia Feng pondered this, acknowledging the validity of Li Qingxue’s concerns, and stored the two freshly-acquired First Grade Celestial God sword hearts in his storage ring.

"Let’s see if any more sword beasts appear. If not, I’ll escort the others out first."

Li Qingxue felt a bit helpless: "I didn’t expect the Holy Sword Secret Realm to gradually suppress other Great Daos as ti passes."

"I thought the other sisters might gain so opportunities in here too."

Sun Yazhu shrugged: "It’s alright. Even if we don’t gain anything, being able to et like this is already very joyful."

"You explore the secret realm thoroughly, and share anything good you find with us later."

Initially, Xia Feng was a bit worried that Li Qingxue’s fast cultivation progress might cause unease among the other won as they explored the secret realm together.

But they seed to notice Xia Feng’s concern and amusingly gathered around him.

"Husband, the timing of the Holy Sword Secret Realm’s opening is just fitting. If it was our secret realm opening, the other sisters surely wouldn’t overthink."

"Our greatest wish is to assist you, husband. We’re happy that Qingxue can help you now, no reason to be jealous."

Yu Siya rolled her eyes playfully: "Husband always treats us like kids to coax. Our relationships are really good with each other~"

Xia Feng smiled: "Well then, dear sisters, I’m preparing to send you back to your respective divine domains. Who’ll go first?"

Nobody spoke, as everyone wanted to stay with Xia Feng a little longer, but seeing no one else move, Sun Yazhu, being the chief wife, stepped up first.

"I’ll go first, to not waste your ti. This place is rich in Divine Power, and it’s perfect with the sword beasts and sword hearts."

"Once we’re gone, you’ll likely be very busy again, husband."

She stood on tiptoe to kiss Xia Feng’s cheek: "Alright, send back. I need to focus on cultivating the Celestial Pill Great Dao. Sooner or later, it will help you, husband."

Xia Feng bowed his head to kiss her, then with a smile, said: "Don’t worry, you’ve already helped a lot."

"The Dream Realm Pearl is always here. I’ll drop in to visit whenever possible."

He spoke while escorting Sun Yazhu through the dream realm, eventually sending her back to the Divine Maiden Hall in the Celestial Pill Divine Domain.

With Sun Yazhu setting the example, the other won were sent back by Xia Feng one by one.

Finally, Xia Feng looked at the surrounding environnt and said to Li Qingxue and Xia Tianming: "Find a safe spot, I’ll first attempt to absorb a sword heart."

Li Qingxue nodded, as she too wanted to attempt absorbing a sword heart.

Xia Feng hesitated before speaking: "Grandfather, would you like to try absorbing a sword heart?"

"A lower level one, perhaps it contains the most basic fragnts of the Great Dao of Celestial Sword, maybe you could also..."

Before he could finish, two strands of Sword Qi shot straight towards Xia Feng and Li Qingxue.

Xia Feng drew his Heaven-Burying Sword and swung it, while Li Qingxue blocked with her Divine Sword.

The fragnt of the Great Dao of Celestial Sword Xia Feng faced had already been comprehended by him, so upon splitting it, a white light simply rged into his Heaven-Burying Sword.

However, Li Qingxue’s one, sothing she hadn’t previously comprehended, caused her to stand still like a post, beginning to comprehend the Great Dao once it dispersed.

Xia Tianming chuckled: "You see, even the Holy Sword Divine Domain perceives as unsuited to practicing swordsmanship."

"The Sword Qi only sought you two, with no intention towards ."

Xia Feng looked at the dissipated Sword Qi, speaking helplessly: "Had I known, I’d have let Qingxue handle it, perhaps she’d feel more of the Great Dao fragnts. scattering it like this is such a waste."

Xia Tianming shrugged: "Before cutting it open, no one knew if the Great Dao inside was within your grasp or not."

"If you’re willing to concede the Sword Qi..."
