Chapter 2344 It’s Really Underestimated
Seeing Yang Zijian walking down the stage with a dejected expression, and looking at Cai Ying who looked quite complacent, Zhou Shu frowned.
He didn't expect it to end so quickly. When he saw Yang Zijian's sword intent, he was ready for a hard fight.
"Brother Zhou Dao, your sword is so strong!"
You Chongzhi was surprised and happy when Zhou Shu came over.
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "It's pretty ordinary."
"not normal."
You Chongzhi couldn't help but shook his head, "Second brother just told me the details of Yang Zijian. His swordsmanship ranks among the top three in the Spirit-bearing World. Even in Crescent City, he is among the top 100, but he can't survive under your sword." One sword, just..."
Zhou Shu hesitated, "Just what?"
"It just doesn't feel like Brother Zhou Dao's style. Is there a sword spirit in the sword?" As soon as he asked, he shook his head again, "The sword spirit can't be that strong, not to mention it doesn't look like it was made by the sword spirit. , and after being with you for so long, I can’t even feel the existence of Sword Spirit, I don’t understand it anymore, more like another person.”
Zhou Shu smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist You, there is no competition today. Let's go back to practice early."
You Chongzhi was stunned for a moment and said quickly, "Yes, I have to prepare for tomorrow's competition. Will you come tomorrow?"
Zhou Shu nodded, "Come as much as you can."
After bidding farewell to You Chongzhi, Zhou Shu quickly returned to the cave, and his spiritual consciousness entered the demon refining world.
In front of a quiet cave among thousands of mountains and forests, Zhou Shu did not go in. He took one look and shook his head.
Looking back at Caiying, he said slowly, "Caiying, I do underestimate you."
Caiying rarely retorted, "Call me the Lord of the Palace." She shrank back, like a child who had done something bad.
Zhou Shu seemed to be thinking, "I have been neglectful. No wonder no one has realized that you are the Sword Spirit after coming to Crescent City for so long. They come and go in the cave, but they all know that Jian Lao has no idea at all." Knowing you, I thought they were avoiding it, but it turns out it’s Caiying’s problem with you.”
Caiying said naa, "I..."
"No wonder your swordsmanship has improved so much, and now it's reached a point where even I can't see through it."
Zhou Shu sighed slightly and pointed to the dilapidated formation in front of the cave entrance, "Caiying, when did you do it?"
Caiying lowered her head, "...just...when you didn't care about me..."
Zhou Shu nodded and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Hu."
The demon refining pot suddenly appeared in front of him, with his head lowered, "Master."
Zhou Shu said calmly, "Mr. Hu, you should know, right? It was you who helped her break the seal?"
"No, no, he didn't help me!"
Caiying said quickly, "I broke the seal by myself, and then he discovered it, but... later he helped me deal with it..."
The voice became quieter and quieter, and gradually became inaudible.
The Demon Refining Pot just lowered his head, as if he was ready to be beaten or scolded, "Master, it's all my fault, I shouldn't hide it or not repay it."
But Caiying was very loyal, "No, it's my fault. If you didn't help, I might have been... bad."
Looking at the two of them, Zhou Shu shook his head unconsciously with a smile, "Okay, did I say I would punish you?"
"ah?!"
"ah?"
The two of them looked up at Zhou Shu, both surprised.
They knew that Zhou Shu didn't like unplanned things very much, and this incident obviously went far beyond the plan. What was most wrong was that the two of them had hidden it together for so long. At that moment, they all had the feeling that He was going to be driven away by Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu stared at the cave and remained silent.
In the cave, there was an immature evil sword spirit sealed, which was obtained from the Xuanhuang Realm Sword House.
The Evil Sword Spirit is a combination of the Evil Soul and the Sword Spirit. This Evil Sword Spirit was cultivated by the descendants of the Sword Saint. It has absorbed the essence of the Sword House and the Tianjian Sect. It can be said that it combines the profound sword techniques in the Xuanhuang Realm. After studying it all over, it is clear that both are sword spirits, and their level of swordsmanship must be far above that of Caiying. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is unique in the Xuanhuang world.
After Zhou Shu accepted the evil sword spirit, he suppressed it in the demon refining world in order to leave it to Cai Ying to help her improve her swordsmanship and get rid of her inner demons.
But Zhou Shu originally planned to wait until Caiying's sword intent improved a bit and was ready to condense the physical body, and then leave it to Caiying to solve the problem. However, it was obvious that during the time Caiying was in the demon refining world, he quietly The seal was opened, the evil sword spirit was eliminated in advance, and all the sword intent and insights in the evil sword spirit were swallowed up.
No wonder her swordsmanship has grown so fast, far beyond Zhou Shu's estimation.
What's more important is that after breaking through the inner demon barrier, Caiying completely eliminated the obstacle to transformation. In fact, Caiying has now transformed and is no longer a sword spirit. This is why others cannot recognize it. She just lacks a real body now.
In the past, Caiying could also show a human form, but that was the concentration of sword intent, but now, Caiying is the true form of nothingness.
After seeing Cai Ying so many times, Zhou Shu didn't even notice this. It has to be said that he still paid too little attention to her, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to not notice the changes in Cai Ying until now.
Turning his head, he shook his head, "I was negligent and didn't take good care of you. Why should I scold you?"
Caiying said quickly, "Ah, it was obviously me who secretly opened the seal. It had nothing to do with you Zhou. Moreover, it was very dangerous at the time. I regret it now. I shouldn't have ignored your words and secretly opened the seal."
The demon refining pot said in a deep voice, "Master takes care of everything every day, so he doesn't have to worry about it so much."
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "Caiying, how dangerous is it?"
"I...I almost died..." Caiying stroked her chest, looking worried, "If the Demon Refining Pot hadn't helped separate and suppress the evil soul, it would have been really bad, and in order to get I am almost exhausted from comprehending those sword intentions, and I have only gained part of them until now."
Zhou Shu seemed to be thinking, "No wonder you are so good now and always go to retreat by yourself. I also asked you where did you get so many insights and you have never fought with anyone."
"whee."
Caiying laughed unconsciously, "Many of the sword techniques, sword intentions, and evil sword spirits have not been understood by themselves. They seem to have been forced into them. It will be very troublesome for me to study them."
Zhou Shu showed a trace of contemplation, "How long will it take for you to fully obtain the Sword Intent of the Evil Sword Spirit?"
Caiying thought for a while, blinked and said, "I really don't know. What I have to do is to integrate them into my own sword intention. It may be very fast or very slow. Some of them are really incomprehensible or inconsistent with If my sword intention is opposite, I will still find a way to drive him away."
"It seems you can solve it by yourself, so I don't need to say anything more."
Zhou Shu nodded and said with a smile, "Caiying, I have a little confidence in you this time. If you want to improve the Purple Mark Sword, you have to get at least the top fifty, no, the top ten, otherwise I won't care. .”
Caiying glared at Zhou Shu, "Why is this? It was clearly stated that the first thousand!"
Zhou Shu said calmly, "This moment, that moment."
Caiying turned her head and said loudly, "That's the top ten, just wait! We must have the best materials and the best masters then!"
