Behind Su Shi'er, the sword case looked utterly ordinary, yet within it, the Wangshu Sword Spirit was restless.
Not a trace of the flying sword's aura leaked out, but it was already prepared to leave its sheath at any moment.
The lightning power carried by the Mystic Beast Spirit earlier had been immensely destructive. The Wangshu Sword Spirit herself was only a spirit body; the flying sword could withstand it, but she, the sword spirit, could not.
But against a Demonic Cultivator Body at the Spirit Severing stage, the Wangshu Sword Spirit felt no pressure at all. She might not be able to kill him in one strike, but at a critical moment, protecting Su Shi'er's life from his hands would not be a problem.

No matter how he looked at it, the expressions of the two seemed slightly strange.
