This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 890 - 683: Incomparable Talent (Part 2)

"Although my Disruption Domain is more oppressive...," Liang Yi chuckled heartily. When it comes to domination and irresolution, the Disruption Domain is top-tier!

"That boy only knows how to sweet-talk," Grandpa Ju in the distance perked his ears and sneered.

"Isn't it? Didn't Brother Liang Yi say it had a deeper meaning?" Yue Bai asked, bewildered, tilting his head towards Grandpa Ju.

"Heh." Grandpa Ju didn't even bother to reply, thinking it was a waste of breath to remind a young fox so smitten with Liang Yi, and he would rather chew on a couple of small fish snacks.

Without a response from Grandpa Ju, Yue Bai didn't mind, swinging his slender, fair legs. Though he appeared to be lying on the cloud cluster thinking deeply with Su Youyi, his eyes remained glued to a certain figure, with sparks shining in his eyes and a slight smile playing on his lips.

Liang Yi watched his junior sister frown, then seem to comprehend, shake her head, and so on. He remained calm, neither rushing nor prompting her.

His junior sister's talent in the Sword Dao far exceeded his own. Some issues were simply misty reflections for her, a case of being confused by involvement.

If measured in terms of Ke Mengzhan, Liang Yi felt that his talent in the Sword Dao barely allowed him to see the soles of Ke Mengzhan's feet, while Ke Mengzhan might need to ride a Flying Sword skyward to see Master Chen Hua's soles. In the Sword Dao, both the master and junior sister had their own strengths.

One specialized in a single domain, unrivaled in the world and deserved to be called Sword Immortal; while the other exhibited supreme talent, effortlessly mastering any Sword Intent, transforming all under heaven Sword Intent into her own.

Liang Yi could only guide his junior sister on simple matters due to his advantage in realm, alongside the clarity of an observer and his formidable foundation. His role was merely as a sparring partner, offering slight insights, excessive interference wouldn't benefit his junior sister.

"I understand now..."

Upon hearing his junior sister's enlightening words, Liang Yi beamed with delight; his junior sister did not disappoint him!

"Brother, take one more of my swords!" Su Youyi's eyes were exceptionally bright, her body slightly leaning forward as her fair and tender hand grasped Lovesick, consolidating Sword Intent.

"Bring it on!" Liang Yi naturally showed no fear, rather he laughed heartily, standing his ground, poised to counter.

The moment Su Youyi gripped Lovesick, all signs of spirit, Sword Intent, or Law fluctuations vanished. At this moment, Su Youyi seemed like an ordinary mortal holding a sword, devoid of any mystique, contrasting sharply with her prior sword qi soaring skyward.

Yet because of this, Liang Yi's lips finally curled up, realizing his junior sister had truly grasped the Sword Rhythm of Sky Penetration.

A long breath—

Su Youyi gently exhaled a breath of clear air from her abdomen, a force arose within her heart, traveling to her right arm, then to her right palm, finally flowing into Lovesick.

"Sky Penetration!"

Su Youyi's expression was calm, her eyes half-closed, whispering softly.

The battle-ready Su Youyi was a stark contrast to her usual self beside Liang Yi!

An urgent sense of crisis arose, exploding within Liang Yi's heart.

He resisted the innate urge to deploy the Disruption Domain to suppress everything. Karma Sword Intent once more surged, preparing to evade the incoming strike similarly to before.

"This sword..."

Yet just as Liang Yi's lips parted, he blinked, then smiled in relief, his just-consolidated Sword Intent dispersing instantly.

"So this is the true 'Sky Penetration'? Crossing space, reaching to the ends of the earth, with this sword, I have lost."

"What just happened? How did Brother Liang Yi lose just like that?"

Yue Bai suddenly rose up, eyes wide open.

Just now, she felt that Youyi's sister seemed about to unleash her sword, and Brother Liang Yi intended to counter with Karma Sword Intent, but how was the winner decided with neither of them actually striking?

"Fool, look at Liang Yi's right ear."

Grandpa Ju offered a reminder, realizing it was indeed challenging for a Daoist Practitioner to observe such a battle, especially for a dull one like Yue Bai.

"Ear? What is that..." Yue Bai glanced questioningly at Grandpa Ju, then her gaze fell beside Brother Liang Yi's ear, noticing a strand of hair fluttering down.

"Before Liang Yi struck, Su Youyi had already cut through, severing a strand of Liang Yi's hair silently, with spatial crossing power. Though perhaps not as certain to hit as Karma Sword Intent, it excels in stealth. Of course, the main reason is Liang Yi hasn't grasped the Sword Rhythm of Karma Sword Intent; compared to Chen Hua's usage, it's incomparable," Grandpa Ju casually explained.

"So that's it," Yue Bai responded with unreserved amazement in her eyes, although it lacked the brilliance of myriad techniques, the shock of this sword was comparable to any grand Daoist skill.

"Swinging the sword is fine, but why cut off a strand of my hair? Now it's uneven..."

Liang Yi distressedly ran his hand through his right temple, discovering a section was missing, though it didn't detract from his handsomeness, it somewhat vexed his compulsive tendency.

"Then why don't I strike again?"

Su Youyi playfully bounced to her Brother's side, though breathing a bit heavier due to that sword, yet more than anything feeling exhilarated because it meant she had comprehended the Sword Rhythm of Sky Penetration. Even if the original owner of this Sword Intent came back, they wouldn't wield it better than Su Youyi.

"No, let's use conventional trimming methods instead..." Liang Yi quickly held down his eager-to-draw-sword junior sister, trusting her hand wouldn't tremble yet unwilling to experience the thrill of a racing heartbeat again.

"Hee hee, then I'll tidy Brother's hair."

Su Youyi giggled, sheathed Lovesick, tiptoed close to Brother's left ear, a wisp of Sword Qi appeared at her fingertips, gently slicing a strand of his black hair, balancing the sides somewhat.

And Su Youyi didn't discard the severed hair, sneakily keeping it while Brother was unaware.

"Mastering a Sword Rhythm in half a day—if word spread, it'd likely drop many Sword Cultivators' jaws," Liang Yi clueless about his sister's sly act, enthusiastically commented on her fortnight's progress.

"The River of Sword Intent contains endless Sword Intents, appearing alongside time's advancement and Sword Dao's development, yet grasping a majority will bring you close to the Tenth Realm."

Grandpa Ju and Yue Bai came over to congratulate Su Youyi, as Grandpa Ju looked up and down at her before speaking calmly.

Yue Bai cast a surprised glance at Sister Youyi, realizing she had found the path to the Tenth Realm?

But she immediately felt a little disheartened because she had just reached the Great Perfection of the Ninth Realm, still quite a way from using the Law Domain as a stepping stone to the Tenth Realm. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Yes, I do have a vague sense of that. However, my intuition tells me, aside from grasping numerous Sword Rhythms within the River of Sword Intent, there's something else I require...

Su Youyi nodded in agreement, yet quickly furrowed her brow because her Sword Sense indistinctly hinted that achieving the Tenth Realm required fulfilling other conditions.

Liang Yi and Grandpa Ju exchanged glances, quickly averting them, both harboring some guesses internally.

Just as Liang Yi was about to speak, a dazzling sword light descended from the sky, dissipating into luminous points was an exquisite jade small sword.

"It's a message from Master."

Upon seeing the jade small sword, Liang Yi and Su Youyi immediately recognized its origin while Yue Bai and Grandpa Ju also guessed the truth from the Sword Intent on the small sword.
