Chapter 2197: Chapter 2194: A Strange Sword Strike

Black Demon Territory.

In the Main Hall of the Black Demon Hall, within a certain healing room.

Guisha City Lord lay on the bed and removed the ghostly mask he had always worn.

What was revealed was the appearance of a middle-aged man, not handsome, but with a certain refined elegance.

At the bedside, Xiao Yi withdrew his hand from the wrist of the Guisha City Lord and nodded slightly.

"The injuries are still severe. That sword not only caused you extremely serious external wounds but also damaged a portion of your Spiritual Sense, with a slight fracture in the Sword Heart."

"In my estimation, it will take several months, at the very least, to fully recover."

"Of course, maybe you could ask some powerful Alchemists in the Main Hall for help."

Despite being a gathering place for powerful Black Mages, the Black Demon Hall contains Alchemists.

However, these Alchemists, though skilled, do not join the Medicine Venerate Hall but cultivate Medicine Dao alongside other practices, joining the Black Demon Hall.

Black Mages each have multiple skills; this is no mere boast.

Guisha City Lord waved his hand and chuckled, "No need for that, you youngster have exceptional methods; you’re also the successor of the Medicine Venerate Hall."

"Few current Alchemists are better than you."

"Your assessment of the injuries should be precise enough."

"But," Guisha City Lord bitterly smiled, "if it were you, that abnormal youngster, bearing these injuries, you’d probably be back on your feet in no time."

"Unlike me, who needs such a long recovery."

Xiao Yi smiled without responding further.

His physical constitution is naturally far superior to that of ordinary Martial Artists.

He is both a Body Cultivator and an Extreme Body Cultivator.

If he was the one injured, he would indeed require less than half the recovery time of the Guisha City Lord.

In the past, he often quickly recovered from serious injuries, not because he had truly healed; many times, he suppressed the injuries to move swiftly and slowly healed along the way.

Beside them, the Heartless Inn Master checked the Guisha City Lord’s injuries, his eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of battle spirit.

"Indeed, it was an extremely powerful sword strike."

"If I encounter this person again, I must face him."

The Heartless Inn Master squinted.

In terms of strength, he is probably the strongest below the Eight Palaces Main Hall Chiefs, slightly stronger than the Changtian Wine Demon.

This powerhouse, who once defeated Supreme Dugu of the Evil Lord Mansion with one sword, bursting with such battle spirit, it’s easy to imagine the sword’s power and beauty.

Even he, such a formidable figure, may not be confident enough to execute such a stroke.

"Youngster." The Heartless Inn Master suddenly looked at Xiao Yi with interest, "If you were up against this sword on the same level, how confident are you in breaking it?"

"Me?" Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment.

After a while, Xiao Yi uttered, "If on the same level, facing this person and this sword, within ten breaths, I will surely break it."

"Hmm?" The Heartless Inn Master frowned, "Youngster, you are too confident, too arrogant."

Xiao Yi shook his head, "This sword is not strong because of its profundity."

"In terms of depth and complexity, it’s far less than the Six Seals Demon-shocking Sword."

"Yet its power was exerted to a similarly high level."

"This is something I cannot fathom."

"I feel as though this sword contains something."

Xiao Yi glanced at the Heartless Inn Master, "Also, if I’m not mistaken, you, Heartless Inn Master, haven’t fully understood this sword either."

"No, I should say, like me, you can’t understand why this sword, clearly so simple, yet holds such power."

The Heartless Inn Master looked puzzled, "You don’t understand, yet you know I don’t, and still boast of breaking it within ten breaths?"

Xiao Yi smiled, "Precisely because I see that even you, Heartless Inn Master, do not understand this sword."

"Then I know, even at your Cultivation level, you don’t understand this sword."

"If I were at your level and fought this person, I could only rely on all my skills to suppress him, not merely on Sword Dao."

"Hence, I say I can break it within ten breaths."

The Heartless Inn Master’s face cleared, "You youngster intend to use your Fire Dao, Poison Dao, and Sword Dao, multiple methods to suppress this sword."

Xiao Yi nodded with a smile, "What can I do? I have so many skills, each strong in its way."

"If I were on the same Cultivation height as this person, understood this sword, I could break it in one breath."

His last words radiated confidence on Xiao Yi’s face.

"One breath?" The Heartless Inn Master was startled, but quickly composed himself, and said in a deep voice, "Though I don’t understand this sword."

"I can tell you, this sword is not merely Sword Dao."

"Not simply?" Xiao Yi frowned.

He hadn’t expected this judgment from the Heartless Inn Master.

"Yes." The Heartless Inn Master nodded, "I don’t know what else it includes, but it’s absolutely not purely a sword technique."

"Perhaps, I should consult my Master and may gain a different perspective."

Xiao Yi nodded again and laughed, "Alright, someday we’ll chat again."

"Guisha City Lord is still injured; I won’t disturb you further."

Xiao Yi cupped his hands, stood up, and left.

Between two Sword Cultivators, especially both being Extreme Sword Cultivators, exchanges in Sword Dao often extend endlessly.

Of course, this is also quite an enjoyable experience.

Leaving the healing room.

Xiao Yi headed outside the Inner Hall.

The entire Black Demon Hall Main Hall is quite expansive.

Apart from the front hall, which is no less bustling than a small city, the rear houses various seclusion rooms, Scrolls Room, and the resting places of various Hall Masters and staff.

There are also hidden areas deep inside, common reception areas, and the like.

Side halls of such sorts exist as well.

In general, behind the Main Hall, there are pavilions, small bridges, and flowing streams.

After all, the Black Demon Hall Main Hall spans an entire territory.

In a certain place, Xiao Yi saw from afar a graceful figure leaning on the railing, gazing in a daze at the small bridge and flowing water, with falling leaves and flowers.

Xiao Yi quickly approached.

"What are you daydreaming about?" Xiao Yi chuckled.

Yiyi returned to her senses and smiled sweetly, "Nothing much, it’s my first time visiting the Black Demon Hall Main Hall; it’s a bit different from what I imagined."

"I always thought the Eight Palaces Main Hall was very solemn."

"I didn’t expect to find such leisurely places as well."

"Of course," Xiao Yi smiled, "we’re outside the side halls."

"The actual Inner Hall of the Main Hall, where the Hall Masters conduct business, is indeed strict and quite boring."

Yiyi nodded and asked, "Master, how is Elder Guisha now?"

"He’s fine," Xiao Yi smiled.

"It is indeed tedious here in the Black Demon Hall Main Hall. Let me accompany you around."

"We can seek out Senior Luoo later."

"I’m at your service," Yiyi nodded with a smile.

Just as the two were about to move, suddenly, a Hall Steward hurriedly approached from afar.

"Vice Master Xiao Yi, something’s wrong," the Steward said urgently.

"What?" Xiao Yi frowned slightly.

The Steward had a peculiar expression and said, "You just left the healing room, and the Master of the Main Hall arrived right afterward."

"The Master of the Main Hall is furious right now."

"Changtian Palace Master said only you can resolve this matter."

"Senior Luoo is in a rage?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brow in deep thought.

Xiao Yi looked at Yiyi, smiled wryly, and said, "I’d better go check it out, we’ll meet later."

"Alright," Yiyi nodded obediently.
