Oh no, oh no!
She still hadn't reined in her expression, and Xiao Zhao had seen right through her.
"Hehe!" Chi Jiuyu scratched her head and simply said, "It's actually nothing much. I just made a tiny little bit of progress in talisman cultivation recently..."
To keep Zhao Ruohan from doubting her, she raised a hand and lightly pointed to the side.
Bzz!
Within the straight streak of white light shooting forth, crimson-gold runes curled through the air, trailing blazing flames behind them.
Very soon, a faint phantom of an ancient sword emerged within the scarlet flames, solidifying in an instant until even the archaic inscriptions etched into its blade could be seen clearly.
Its icy sharpness carried scorching fire intent, as though it could tear apart everything standing in its way.
Snap!
Chi Jiuyu casually snapped her fingers, and the flames and sword phantom vanished.
"Well? Impressive, right?" Chi Jiuyu looked at Zhao Ruohan smugly.
For a Spirit Transformation cultivator, the power of this move was merely passable.
But what Chi Jiuyu wanted to display was not its power, but the realm of 'Talisman Arts Merging Sword.'
This was not the Scripture Sword Book she had forcibly performed on the night she first arrived by relying on her profound swordsmanship realm and talent.
Rather, after studying the Void-Expounding Dao Talisman Book over the past few days and gradually filling in the gaps in her talisman arts foundation, she had found the balance between sword techniques and talisman arts, achieving a perfect fusion of the two.
Aside from the initial stage of learning the basics of 'talismans' and 'swords,' cultivation in the talisman-sword lineage could roughly be divided into several stages: Sword Reflecting Talisman Light, Sword Containing Talisman Form, Talisman Arts Merging Sword, Talisman Scripture, Sword Weft, and Sword-Talisman Ruin
