For low-level cultivators, who had not yet advanced to the potent Nascent Soul or Yang Spirit stage, the harm was raw and tangible!
Now, at such a close range!
Lin Xiao was left with only two choices!
Either use the Drunken Immortal Watching Moon Step to dodge, betting on the probability of the Wine God Curse activating and consequently dispelling the Sword Qi!
Or...
Summon the Dharma Appearance hidden deep within his Divine Soul in an attempt to withstand this Sword Qi head-on!
Indeed, the nature of the Dharma Appearance is to defend the Divine Soul, a 'phantom' filled with an overwhelming aura. It is the personification of the 'Path' or 'Dharma' that a cultivator has attained up to that point! For example, his Master's Azure Phoenix Dharma Appearance, Zhu Wanning's Asura Dharma Appearance, and the Glaze Treasure Bottle Dharma Form of so Buddhist Holy Sons born with 'Seven Ingenious Glazed Hearts'!
However, Lin Xiao's Dharma Appearance was... an unknown sword!
His Soul Eating Sword Qi technique is specially designed to target the Divine Soul. The Dharma Appearances of ordinary cultivators would likely find it hard to defend against.
Looking at the entire younger generation of the Qinglan Sect, perhaps only Zhu Wanning's Asura Dharma Appearance could withstand this lethal move!
As for ...
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth, suddenly recalling the words of his Master, Xiao Hongling, from that day in the Sword Dao Secret Realm!
That's it! Master once said that my Dharma Appearance is unique under heaven and earth, a supre Sword Dao Dharma Appearance with limitless potential! The judgnt of the Taiyin Sword Emperor could not possibly be wrong!
With this thought, Lin Xiao's doubts were swept away!
With cold, stern eyes, he focused his Divine Thought and summoned the Dharma Appearance from the depths of his Divine Soul!
The next mont, just as the Soul Eating Sword Qi was inches from between his eyebrows.
BOOM!
It was as if the void itself had shattered. Terrifying reverberations, mingled with faint, ethereal Sanskrit chants of The Great Path, emanated outwards...
In an instant, Lin Xiao's entire body was enveloped by countless, profound, and peerless Sword Auras!
WHOOSH!
A colossal phantom of a Divine Sword, radiating a golden divine light, as if answering a summons, roared out from the divine aperture at Lin Xiao's glabella, spanning across the void!
It effortlessly blocked the encroaching Soul Eating Sword Qi!
The next mont, a shocking spectacle occurred!
The Soul Eating Sword Qi, as if tad by the golden divine sword, suddenly reversed its edge and shot towards Wu Tianqi's face!
"You... What Dharma Appearance is that! How can it make my Sword Qi submit!"
"Damn it! You monster!"
"On such a fine day, I just ca out to visit a brothel, and I run into a Sword Dao monster! Aaargh!"
Wu Tianqi was utterly panicked, howling in despair as he continuously retreated!
However, the "pacified" Soul Eating Sword Qi beca even more ruthless, pursuing him relentlessly!
Seeing his life in imdiate danger, Wu Tianqi steeled himself and plunged his sword into his own abdon!
He was planning to use a family-secret forbidden art to preserve his spirit soul and escape by abandoning his body!
However, just as his wisp of essential soul left his body, the Soul Eating Sword Qi bypassed his physical form and accurately penetrated his spirit soul!
The next mont!
Accompanied by a wail that seed to echo from another ti and space.
Wu Tianqi's human soul shattered into pieces and utterly dissipated.
Alright. For 'Flash-teleporting your own grave,' I've got to hand it to you.
You probably forgot that your Soul Eating Sword Qi only destroys Divine Souls...
Lin Xiao gazed at the corpse on the ground, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
However, thinking back... My Dharma Appearance Divine Sword, it's too freaking aweso! Can it even hijack other people's Sword Qi techniques?
At this mont, Lin Xiao was both astounded and overjoyed.
DING!
"Your 'Beiming Swallowing Celestial Power' (Lv2), through persistent effort, has successfully devoured and refined [Target: Wu Tianqi]'s Sword Intent!"
"Your Sword Dao cultivation has advanced to the next level! (Lv77, Note: Current world's top level: Lv99, Sword Immortal Realm)"
"After studying the unique techniques of the Manor of Divine Swords, you have comprehended a [Dharma Appearance Divine Skill] — 'Free and Easy Divine Sword' (Description: Roam free between Heaven and Earth, annihilate all fiends! A sacred manifestation-type sword Divine Skill specializing in slaying demons and devils! Deals 300% increased damage to Demonic targets. Furthermore, against foes of the sa realm, it ignores their Divine Soul barrier, directly inflicting soul-level annihilation beyond the six senses.)"
Good heavens, I just casually took down an elite monster, but this haul... is honestly a bit over the top!
Is this the luck of a Destiny Big Villain?
Lin Xiao swallowed. Then, a thought struck him!
An unexpected wave of ecstasy washed over his heart!
That's it! This Dharma Appearance Divine Skill, which directly obliterates the soul, is perfect to use against the Sky Yin Blood Demon, that old bastard, in a fight! It's such a perfect counter; he won't know what hit him!
"Th-this Young Master..."
"Please spare . You can rest assured! Regarding Young Master Wu's death... I... I won't reveal your identity!"
Just then, a trembling feminine voice ca from the side.
Lin Xiao glanced over and saw that the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon, Su ngyao, had shrunk into a corner, hugging her knees, her pair of breathtakingly beautiful eyes looking at him with a plea!
"Don't worry, Miss Su. I'm here to save you."
"And by the way, we can be open with each other and beco friends."
Lin Xiao grinned, about to take off the mask on his head.
Su ngyao, however, scread, "Don't! Don't! I... I know the rules of the underworld! If I see your face, I... I won't survive!"
"Don't be nervous, Miss Su."
Lin Xiao chuckled, looking intently at this little fox demon, who, in the original work, was highly skilled in dicine and had helped the protagonist considerably. "Rest assured, I'm not a lecher like Wu Tianqi, nor am I a bandit or a Demonic Cultivator. I am actually..."
