Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled Chapter 483 - 479: Reunion with Li Qingyu

Xia Feng occasionally used the Great Dao of Demon to survey the surrounding environnt, constantly adjusting his direction of progress.

Perhaps because they were on the right path, the number of Evil Sword Spirits and Sword Demons they encountered on this journey increased significantly.

The Evil Sword Spirits still carried so spiritual qi and, although they coveted Xiao Xue greatly, after Xia Feng and the others slew quite a number of them, it seed they carried a layer of evil qi on them.

Many of the Evil Sword Spirits, after sensing Xia Feng’s group from afar, quickly attempted to flee the area.

However, since Xia Feng knew that the Evil Sword Spirits could promote the evolution of Sword Spirits, he naturally wouldn’t let go of these materials so easily.

On the other hand, the Sword Demons were troubleso every ti they were encountered.

These beings seed to have no sense of pain, acting like machines of slaughter without thought, attacking without reason and showing no rcy.

The most troubleso part was that even after severing their limbs, they would continue to attack instinctively, only stopping when completely annihilated to ashes.

Initially, Xia Feng wanted to test the power of the World-Ending Saber Technique but later found it difficult to kill them outright with a saber, so he resorted to the Great Dao of Li Huo.

No matter how troubleso the opponent was, Xia Feng would simply throw a ball of Li Huo fire over, and nothing would remain once it was burnt to ashes.

The three continued to explore deeper into Evil Sword Valley, and the deeper they went, the higher the cultivation of the Sword Demons beca.

Xia Feng could still recognize so as trial takers from the outermost area, but further in, the faces of the Sword Demons beca completely unrecognizable.

It was as though they had been corroded beyond repair by the passing of tens of thousands of years.

Xia Feng even saw a Sword Demon’s eyeball fall out while wielding a sword in battle, nearly making him vomit out of disgust.

So when encountering Sword Demons later on, Xia Feng would throw fireballs from the Great Dao of Li Huo from a distance, preferring not to see them for peace of mind.

After walking for about two or three more hours, Xia Feng suddenly halted, looking toward another direction.

Li Qingxue and Xia Tianming knew Xia Feng could see in the dim fog, and seeing him stop, they knew he had discovered sothing.

Li Qingxue spoke with a touch of tension, "What’s wrong?"

Xia Feng’s smile carried a hint of playfulness, "Nothing much, just a narrow encounter with familiar faces."

Li Qingxue was stunned, knowing that in this Secret Realm, the only ones Xia Feng could call ’familiar’ were Li Qingyu and Liu Yu.

And from Xia Feng’s tone, it was clear he wasn’t referring to Liu Yu—it must be Li Qingyu.

Li Qingxue perked up, "Have we caught up to the forefront?"

Xia Feng didn’t answer the question but instead stayed in place.

Having traveled such a distance, aside from the people with Li Qingyu still being alive, all the rest encountered were Sword Demons.

Those who entered Evil Sword Valley before Li Qingyu and Xia Feng couldn’t have all died, so did they take the wrong path, or was there sothing else?

Li Qingxue couldn’t see the situation ahead, but seeing Xia Feng unmoving here, she asked curiously, "What exactly is happening up ahead?"

Xia Feng thought for a mont before responding, "I’m hesitating whether or not to go over."

"Li Qingyu probably knows so routes in Evil Sword Valley; if we follow them, we might leave this cursed place faster."

Although the dim fog didn’t greatly affect Xia Feng’s group, he still didn’t want to linger in it long.

The Sword Demons were clearly abnormal and had intricate ties with the Demon Realm.

Xia Feng was fine; having stored a bit of the Great Dao of Demon in curiosity when eliminating a Tier One Demon earlier, the environnt was harmless to him.

But Xia Tianming and Li Qingxue had never been exposed to this kind of energy; if their roots were hard by prolonged exposure, Xia Feng would be heartbroken.

Li Qingyu’s team encountered so trouble; the Sword Demon before them was so old and corrupted it couldn’t be recognized, clearly not a trial taker from this batch entering the Secret Realm.

It’s unknown how long it corroded in the dim fog of Evil Sword Valley, with cultivation reaching the Third Grade Celestial God Realm, far beyond what Li Qingyu’s fragnted team could handle.

Xia Feng hesitated, leading Xia Tianming and Li Qingxue forward a little; from this distance, the opposite group couldn’t see them, but they could hear the opposing side.

Li Qingyu urged those around her to deal with the Sword Demon, "You must find a way! Only by eliminating this thing can we proceed."

"If we detour, it’ll be a much farther journey, and who knows what further trouble may arise."

A timid girl nearby spoke softly, "Goddess Qingyu, the Sword Demon’s cultivation is too high for us to handle."

Though they were the pride of their era, those previously trialing in the Secret Realm were exceptional, too.

Now the Sword Demon hadn’t been disturbed yet; if a fight broke out, these prodigies might suffer half casualties or more.

No one spoke up, leaving Li Qingyu anxious, unable to compel them.

She panted heavily, filled with frustration.

If she possessed Xia Feng’s combat power, she’d skip the nonsensical debate and fight directly.

Despite possessing nurous divine artifacts and tools, against such an opponent, they were like mantises trying to stop a chariot.

Amid mixed opinions, none agreed to clash head-on with this Third Grade Celestial God Realm Sword Demon. Alone, Li Qingyu couldn’t oppose everyone, reluctantly preparing to lead a detour.

Xia Feng raised a brow, noticing those opposite coming their way and whispered to Li Qingxue, "What do you think, should we help?"

To Xia Feng, the Third Grade Celestial God Realm Sword Demon was troubleso but not undefeatable.

Li Qingxue showed a conflicted expression, hesitated, and said softly, "The surrounding routes are too winding, aning spending two, three more days in Evil Sword Valley at least."

She hadn’t answered directly, but her aning was clear—they should resolve this Sword Demon.

Spending two or three extra days might invite unforeseen complications, better to tackle this Sword Demon directly.

Xia Feng nodded thoughtfully, shifting slightly toward Li Qingyu’s direction.

A keen observer among the prodigies quickly noticed their movent—uttering softly, "Be careful, there’s soone over there."

Li Qingyu, already irritated by the rejection of her orders, was further aggrieved hearing soone incoming, her mood further distraught by the encircling fog.
