But that didn't mean I had stopped advancing in the way of the sword. Li Guxian was a terrifying existence who now dominated the sword path throughout the Six Divine Heavens. The Infinite Heaven Sword wasn't someone who merely talked without practicing, nor someone who selfishly hoarded her abilities. She had earned her illustrious reputation only after challenging every invincible opponent under heaven with her sword. As her disciple, how could I possibly have made no progress at all?
The Infinite Heaven Sword, which carried an equally powerful sense of self, burst forth when I grew serious. Wave after wave of fierce Sword Qi broke free of Sword Demon Master's restraints, following a swift and ferocious path beyond compare. One sword chased after another, its speed like mountains collapsing and seas raging, wild and unrestrained!

Sword Demon Master's laughter soon resounded throughout the entire hall. But when I turned around and wanted to call out to Master, I discovered that Sword Demon Master had already vanished. Senior Brother Yan was holding that familiar demonic spirit essence in his hands, but it had clearly dimmed considerably.

"No.
