Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion Chapter 78 – The girl’s body

Liu Yanping wasn't after any reward; she simply relished the sense of accomplishnt.

"Just wait until I flaunt this in front of Grandpa. Let him underestimate , let him forbid from entering the Demon Realm. He'll see his granddaughter's achievents!!!"

After retrieving the demon core, ng Fan approached the corpse of the bull demon, placed his hand on it, and activated the Supre Dominance Body.

Elder Lin had ntioned that demons in the Demon Realm, having absorbed the unique essence within, would contain a type of "Spiritual Essence" in their bodies after death.

This Spiritual Essence could be used to enhance one's physical cultivation techniques.

It was precisely for this reason that ng Fan had readily agreed to enter the Demon Realm.

Elder Lin hadn't deceived him; as he activated the Supre Dominance Body, he indeed absorbed a special power from the bull demon's corpse.

However, the amount of Spiritual Essence was minuscule, and in just an instant, ng Fan had absorbed it all.

"ng Fan, what are you doing?" Liu Yanping asked, sowhat puzzled.

Li Xuerou also watched ng Fan curiously.

ng Fan explained, "I'm practicing a physical cultivation technique. The Spiritual Essence within these demon beasts can enhance my technique."

"There's such a thing?" Liu Yanping exclaid in surprise. "It's a pity I haven't practiced any physical techniques."

Li Xuerou nodded in agreent.

Disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect rarely practiced physical cultivation techniques.

Firstly, it was a matter of mindset; secondly, the effort and gains from physical techniques were not proportional.

With the sa ti and energy, it was better to practice sword techniques or improve one's cultivation level!

Another important reason was that the Shu Mountain Sword Sect simply didn't possess any powerful physical cultivation techniques.

Even Elder Lin, one of the strongest in the sect, had collected the "Supre Dominance Body," which wasn't considered a particularly strong technique.

And for others, it was even less worth ntioning.

ng Fan and the two won continued deeper into the forest. Along the way, they encountered another bull demon, or rather, its corpse.

Clearly, it had been slain by Shu Mountain Sword Sect disciples ahead of them.

ng Fan placed his hand on the bull demon's corpse and activated the Supre Dominance Body.

The next second, his brow furrowed.

No reaction!

He reluctantly removed his hand and shrugged at Li Xuerou and Liu Yanping.

"What's wrong?" Liu Yanping inquired.

"This bull demon has been dead too long; the Spiritual Essence within has dissipated. Only freshly slain demons can aid in enhancing my physical technique," ng Fan explained.

His idea of scavenging was dashed.

He had thought that with four or five hundred demons here, he could surely elevate his physical technique to an extrely high realm.

Now it seed he had been overly optimistic.

In fact, the bull demon in front of ng Fan had clearly not been dead for long, but even so, its Spiritual Essence had already vanished.

Only the Spiritual Essence from freshly slain demons was available for absorption.

The chance of stumbling upon soone else's fresh kill was slim, unless luck was on his side and he happened upon a freshly slain demon.

But with the forest so vast, the odds were incredibly low.

It seed he would have to slay demons himself.

ng Fan, who had been going with the flow, was suddenly filled with determination.

"It looks like we need to pick up the pace," he said to the two won.

Both won were eager to try.

Liu Yanping had just gotten a taste for battle, and Li Xuerou, who had yet to make her move, was even more impatient.

The trio quickened their pace as they ventured deeper into the forest, well aware that the deeper they went, the more demons they would encounter.

***

Shortly after, they ca across another bull demon.

"This ti it's my turn!" Li Xuerou, fearing ng Fan might not let her act, quickly volunteered.

"Go ahead!" ng Fan said, not one to stop her.

Liu Yanping felt a twinge of disappointnt; she hadn't had her fill of battle yet.

But of course, she wouldn't argue with Li Xuerou.

Li Xuerou drew her sword and in a flash, she was in front of the bull demon, swiftly beheading it with a single stroke.

Effortlessly, she sliced open the bull demon's belly and plucked out a demon core.

"Brother ng Fan, here, take this," she offered, handing the demon core to ng Fan.

ng Fan smiled, shook his head, and said, "I have no use for that. Keep it for yourself. As for the Spiritual Essence within the demon, if you don't need it, I won't be polite."

With that, he placed his hand on the bull demon's body and activated the Supre Dominance Body.

In just a matter of seconds, he absorbed the Spiritual Essence within.

The Supre Dominance Body was getting closer to the third level.

Seeing ng Fan decline the demon core, Li Xuerou pocketed it.

"Sister Xuerou, the sword you had before wasn't this one. Where did this Spiritual Sword co from?" ng Fan asked curiously, noticing the sword in Li Xuerou's hand.

Previously, Li Xuerou hadn't used a Spiritual Sword, and she hadn't been to the Sword Pavilion to exchange swords during this ti, so ng Fan was curious about the origin of her new Spiritual Sword.

Li Xuerou glanced at the Spiritual Sword in her hand and said, "Elder Yang, knowing I was coming to the Demon Realm, gave her Qingyue Sword for protection."

This Elder Yang, nad Yang Ling, was very fond of Li Xuerou, treating her as if she were her own disciple.

However, when Li Xuerou had wanted to formally beco her disciple, Elder Yang had refused, leaving Li Xuerou puzzled by her intentions.

"With your strength, you can definitely choose a sword from the Sword Pavilion. After we return, I'll help you pick a suitable Spiritual Sword," ng Fan offered.

Li Xuerou looked at ng Fan in surprise. Choosing a Spiritual Sword was not a trivial matter.

A careless choice could lead to being backfired by the Spiritual Sword.

She had always felt unprepared for such a choice.

Liu Yanping eagerly interjected, "Sister Li, ng Fan really has a knack for selecting Spiritual Swords. The one I'm using was chosen by him."

After saying this, she looked at ng Fan with so confusion, "When I took the Spiritual Sword back, it even shocked my grandfather. He said with my ability, it was impossible to ta a Spiritual Sword. How did you do it?"

ng Fan casually replied, "After all, I'm from the Sword Pavilion. I deal with these Spiritual Swords every day. What's so difficult about that?"

Liu Yanping thought about it and agreed.

No matter what ng Fan did, nothing seed strange to her anymore.

He was a true monstrosity!

Hearing Liu Yanping's words, Li Xuerou felt tempted.

She thought to herself, if Liu Yanping could ta a Spiritual Sword, why couldn't she succeed?

Perhaps she had previously overestimated the dangers of a Spiritual Sword...

This thought wasn't ant to belittle Liu Yanping, as she was indeed much weaker than Li Xuerou.

While the three were conversing, a young girl in green clothes suddenly ran towards them in a panic.

"Save , save ! A demon is chasing , please help!" The girl cried out for help, tears streaming down her face, looking utterly pitiable.

Li Xuerou and Liu Yanping imdiately looked behind the girl and saw a bull demon in pursuit.

"Save her!"

Both won drew their swords and charged at the bull demon.

ng Fan also drew his sword without a word and struck out with a slash.

A burst of Sword Qi shot forth, cutting the girl in two.

Li Xuerou and Liu Yanping stopped in their tracks, staring at ng Fan, dumbfounded.
