Rumble—
The Black Jade Coffin burst open, and amid the Yin Sha Qi filling the sky, an elderly Daoist with white hair and a youthful face sat cross-legged in midair.
He was the Sect Master of Immortal Ghoul Sect, Daoist Zuoqiu.
Without any fluctuation of spiritual power, Cao Xie vanished from where he stood like a ghost. When he reappeared, he was already within seven steps of the other party, a flying sword with a Green Sword Tassel somehow appearing in his hand.
"Ha ha!"
Daoist Zuoqiu slowly opened his eyes. "The renowned Heavenly Slaughter True Lord intends to cross swords with this poor Daoist today?"
"Not cross swords. Practice."
Cao Xie corrected him. "Some time ago at Qingxu Sect, I saw a martial divine ability from a junior and gained quite a bit of insight. So I decided to pick up the sword Dao I had cast aside for many years. Meeting you today happens to provide an opportunity for practice."
"A junior?"
Daoist Zuoqiu was somewhat surprised. "I truly wonder what sort of junior could make the illustrious Law Dao Lord Myriad humbly learn from him. Only..."
He paused. Yin Sha Qi surged from his seven apertures, and his voice seemed to come from the Nine Nether Yellow Springs.
"You are using this poor Daoist to test your sword. Is that not looking down on me too much?!"
Behind him, the coffin shattered inch by inch, then reassembled in the air into a massive black jade sword, its point aimed directly at the figure in green robes.
Cao Xie slowly raised his sword.
The two Nascent Soul Cultivators clashed.
"Suppress!"
Below them, True Person Chunyang flipped his palm again, and a Five Finger Mountain descended from the heavens, crushing down toward the Great Song Imperial Official in crimson
