Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Along the way, Li Guanqi was silently observing Ye Xuan.

However, he didn't notice anything particularly unusual.

He felt a slight relief in his heart, but his brows furrowed slightly unconsciously.

He didn't know why, but he always felt that something was off with himself recently...

But if he were to pinpoint exactly what was wrong, he couldn't quite say.

It seemed like there were no changes or abnormalities.

However, his sixth sense just told him that something was wrong!

Suddenly, Li Guanqi instantly unleashed his Demon King Body!!

In just a breath, Li Guanqi's figure instantly became tall and sturdy, his body covered in dragon scales and shimmering divine patterns.

A wisp of almost imperceptible black gas rose from Li Guanqi's back, but he didn't notice it.

Ye Xuan instantly drew his long sword, his eyes warily scanning the surroundings, his expression grave as he said in a deep voice.

"Enemies?"

Li Guanqi reverted to his normal form and explained.

"No enemies, I'm just trying out some things."

Seeing this, Ye Xuan sheathed his sword, his expression slightly relieved.

"Is Emperor Scenery Slope the place where the Soul-Devouring Nether Butterfly is located?"

Li Guanqi shook his head upon hearing this.

"I can't be sure either, I can only say that Emperor Scenery Slope is the most likely place."

"We'll need to search a bit after we get there."

"But we also need to be careful to conceal our tracks and avoid alerting anyone."

Ye Xuan nodded heavily upon hearing this, a hint of worry flashing in the man's eyes.

Then the two continued forward, Li Guanqi's eyes flashing.

He had completely refined the Demon King Body when he broke through to the mid-stage of the Tribulation Realm.

But that instant of release just now had a slight, almost imperceptible feeling of stagnation!

He didn't know if it was because the Soul-Devouring Dao Body had devoured the Demon King Body, or because he hadn't completely refined it...

Could it be that there would be this kind of side effect from the fusion of two special physiques?

"Sword Spirit, why do I still feel a slight stagnation when I operate the Demon King Body now?"

The Sword Spirit awoke from her cultivation, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.

"Stagnation?"

"Logically speaking, after the Soul-Devouring Dao Body completely refines the Demon King Body, the Demon King Body's abilities should only be considered an attachment to the Soul-Devouring Dao Body."

"But even so, the Demon King Body's abilities should still be considered your own, why would there be a feeling of stagnation?"

After pondering for a moment, the Sword Spirit's eyes flashed, she believed that Li Guanqi would definitely not misperceive it.

"Try again, let me see."

Li Guanqi nodded slightly, then told Ye Xuan to avoid startling him.

The Sword Spirit's figure slowly condensed behind him, a pair of beautiful eyes flashing with scarlet light.

Li Guanqi took a deep breath and demonized again!

Boom!!

A powerful pressure instantly spread out, but this time the feeling of stagnation disappeared.

Like last time, the demonization was completed in an instant.

Li Guanqi frowned and muttered to himself.

"It's gone..."

The Sword Spirit also spoke slowly at this time.

"I didn't see any problems, are you sure there was a feeling of stagnation?"

Li Guanqi narrowed his eyes, and murmured in his heart with absolute certainty.

"I have absolute confidence in my perception, I won't be wrong."

Next, Li Guanqi tried several more times, but found nothing unusual.

The previous feeling of stagnation was like an illusion, and never appeared again.

The Sword Spirit frowned slightly, pondered for a long time, and then slowly spoke.

"It's possible that the Soul-Devouring Dao Body just refined and devoured the Demon King Body, and isn't that familiar with it yet."

A look of worry flashed in Li Guanqi's eyes, he licked his lips, but just nodded slightly.

Then he looked at Ye Xuan and nodded slightly, the two figures sped towards Emperor Scenery Slope.

After his figure disappeared, the Sword Spirit returned to the Sword Coffin space, but this time she didn't directly cultivate.

She reached into the void and grabbed the sleeping Penglai.

"Go and fuse with Guanqi, and feel if there is any change in the aura in his body."

The sleepy Penglai slapped herself in the face, forcibly waking herself up.

"Roger that! Guarantee to complete the mission!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Penglai endured her sleepiness and drilled out, grabbing Li Guanqi's head and starting to fuse without saying a word.

Mysterious purple lines spread from Li Guanqi's eyebrows, and in the blink of an eye, Li Guanqi's aura was forcibly raised to the late stage of the Tribulation Realm!

"Master, transform and take a look."

Li Guanqi nodded slightly, then demonized again.

Holy silver-white light enveloped Li Guanqi, and after a while, the divine patterns faded, and Penglai returned to the Sword Coffin space.

"Uh... I didn't feel anything, nothing changed? What's wrong? What happened?"

The Sword Spirit frowned slightly when she heard this, raised her hand and slapped Penglai far away, the noisy voice finally disappeared.

The Sword Spirit leaned against the stone wall, frowned and muttered.

"The feeling of stagnation... shouldn't be..."

"With the power of the Soul-Devouring Dao Body, what physique in the world can't it devour?"

"A mere Demon King Body, how could it produce a feeling of stagnation?"

The Sword Spirit frowned, tapped her forehead with her jade finger, pondered for a long time, and slowly opened her eyes and whispered.

"Devour Nothing."

Li Guanqi's Dantian Primordial Spirit trembled slightly, and then Yan Ling's body actually appeared in the Sword Coffin space!!

This was the first time Devour Nothing had come into such close contact with the Sword Spirit.

The terrifying pressure made him lower his head unconsciously, and he also saw Penglai squatting on a stone watching the show out of the corner of his eye.

Yan Ling slowly knelt on one knee to show his respect to the Sword Spirit.

The Sword Spirit waved her hand gently to lift him up and said softly.

"Now you are no longer a spirit wandering between heaven and earth, there is no need to be so polite between you and me."

Yan Ling's eyes flickered, he got up and nodded slightly, his expression also became much softer.

But the Sword Spirit found that Yan Ling's expression had been very low.

Recalling what happened before, the Sword Spirit obviously realized something.

Yan Ling and Li Guanqi are in a symbiotic contract, neither of them can die.

But Li Guanqi's previous actions obviously hurt Yan Ling's heart.

That action seemed a bit too much in the Sword Spirit's eyes...

Suddenly!

The Sword Spirit suddenly sat up!

Her eyes were sharp but not focused, and the pressure at this moment caused endless messy flames to escape from the surface of Yan Ling's body.

Just some escaping pressure almost dispersed Yan Ling's human form!

Gradually, the Sword Spirit slowly restrained her emotions and transmitted a sentence to Yan Ling in a deep voice.

Yan Ling's pupils suddenly shrank when he heard this, he took a deep breath, straightened his waist, and nodded heavily.

Then the Sword Spirit whispered to Li Guanqi.

Li Guanqi was slightly stunned, but he also nodded.

Then a powerful fire force instantly enveloped Li Guanqi's entire Primordial Spirit!!

In just an instant, some cold sweat oozed from Li Guanqi's forehead, but it was shaken away by him, and he looked as usual on the surface.

Not only the Primordial Spirit, but also the strands of flame were everywhere.

The flesh and blood meridians in his body were filled with flames!
