The moment the two Flying Swords clashed, the sword cultivator felt a surge of baleful yin energy invade his body. Startled, he immediately controlled his Flying Sword and fled over a hundred zhang away.
Revealing himself in midair, the sword cultivator cried, "Ghostfire Yin-Pupil Sword!"
Snow Fairy's heart jolted as well. The Ghostfire Yin-Pupil Sword was an exceedingly tyrannical divine ability of the Ghost Path. It used souls as material, flesh as a furnace, and essence blood as fire, tempered into form. Once forged, its power was immense, but it also placed an enormous burden upon its wielder, both soul and body alike.
Originally, this sword cultivator was no weaker than this Pure Yin Ghost Monkey. Although he had expended a great deal of spiritual power earlier, with cultivator Gu holding the enemy back, even if this strike failed to harm the foe, he should not have been injured. Yet when the two swords collided, that baleful yin energy had shot straight into his dantian, actually seeking to destroy the foundation he had painstakingly cultivated for years.
Fortunately, the sword cultivator had reacted quickly and retreated at once. Even so, expelling that baleful yin energy from his body cost him three years of cultivation!
The instant the Ghostfire Yin-Pupil Sword emerged, the surrounding fireballs vanished. Cultivator Gu was also taken aback. The sword cultivator called out again, "Don't be afraid. This Ghostfire Yin-Pupil Sword must also be an immense burden on that demon monkey. Otherwise, it would have used it long ago."

The Ghostfire Yin-Pupil Sword immediately expanded, growing dozens of zhang long
