Chapter 813: Let's Call It a Basic Attack

The two of them continued on their journey for a while.

Suddenly.

The sky darkened.

The atmosphere grew eerie.

A black shadow appeared in their line of sight.

It had two heads, slender limbs, and its body was dripping wet. It walked with a twisted, jerky motion, resembling a deformed creature.

A demon.

A real demon.

Su Yu'er never expected that after two months of searching without finding a single demon, she would encounter one here.

Her large eyes sparkled with excitement.

She tightened her grip on her longsword, already itching for a fight.

If she could defeat this demon, not only might she uncover the reason behind the mass disappearance of demons from the area where it appeared, but more importantly, she could report this back to the Yun Jie Sect. Who would dare look down on her then?

Her first trial mission, and she had already taken down such a powerful demon. Surely, she would earn everyone's admiration.

And there was even a witness beside her.

She couldn't contain her excitement.

"Congratulations, you get to witness the might of the Dragon-Phoenix Sword," Su Yu'er said solemnly to Yi Feng. "But this demon is extremely powerful, far beyond the demon core you sold me."

"Now, listen to my command. Stay as far back as possible and make sure to protect yourself."

"Also, the battle between me and this demon will be earth-shattering. No matter what happens, don't come any closer. If you do, your life will be in danger. Understood?"

Su Yu'er gave her instructions seriously.

Yi Feng nodded.

He stepped back to the side.

Seeing Yi Feng retreat, Su Yu'er's expression turned serious.

This was her first trial battle, and she had to achieve a glorious victory.

With a slight movement of her jade-like hand, her longsword trembled slightly, then became enveloped in a radiant aura, glowing brightly.

She then cast a talisman, and a transparent shield appeared around her, shimmering with a soft light, providing her with complete protection.

Next, she flung out eighteen formation flags, which soared into the sky before landing in an intricate pattern around her. The flags were connected by beams of light, forming a formation that enhanced her abilities in some way.

Su Yu'er's hands moved again, forming a series of complex hand seals. As the final seal was completed, a golden scroll flew into the air, and a beam of light descended from it, firmly locking onto the two-headed demon and weakening it in some manner.

Finally, she spat out a mouthful of vital blood, which dripped onto a jade slip in her hand. The slip glowed with a brilliant light before dissolving into starlight that coalesced on the ground, forming a majestic golden lion that roared with a mighty voice, ready to fight by her side.

"A protective shield."

"Enhancement buffs, debuffs, and even a summoned beast!"

"What a grand display."

"Is this the power of a cultivator?"

From the sidelines, Yi Feng couldn't help but marvel.

He couldn't help but glance at the nearly rusted iron sword in his ring and the half-dead snail lying beside it.

The gap between them was truly vast.

In the blink of an eye.

Su Yu'er, now facing the two-headed demon, moved. With all her enhancements, she gripped her sword and soared into the air.

"First Sword: All Things."

"Second Sword: Mountains and Rivers."

"Third Sword: Heaven and Earth."

"Fourth Sword: Cause and Effect."

Su Yu'er shouted as she unleashed four powerful sword strikes in succession.

Instantly, countless dazzling sword lights filled the sky, slicing through the air and creating ripples that refused to settle.

"Such powerful sword techniques!"

From a distance, Yi Feng couldn't help but marvel. The sheer spectacle alone made him feel inadequate.

It was truly a visual feast.

This was the power of a disciple from a major sect. Truly extraordinary.

And then there was him. What a joke.

A pang of jealousy arose within him.

But.

It was useless.

The dazzling sword lights didn't even manage to cut a single strand of the two-headed demon's hair.

"What?"

Su Yu'er was shocked.

She couldn't accept this outcome. With a wave of her hand, she commanded:

"Golden Lion, attack!"

"Roar!"

With a mighty roar, the lion she had summoned opened its massive jaws, exuding an aura of power as it pounced toward the two-headed demon.

"Rip!"

The lion was torn in half by the demon. Gone.

"How... how could this be?"

Su Yu'er's face turned pale, but the two-headed demon was already charging at her.

"Formation Flags, activate!"

Su Yu'er formed hand seals, and the formation created by the flags shifted, attempting to restrain the demon.

But under the demon's assault, all eighteen flags fell to the ground.

At the same time, the scroll in the sky dimmed.

The demon struck Su Yu'er's protective shield with a single blow.

The shield held firm but cracked slightly under the impact.

Another strike followed, and the crack grew larger.

At this moment.

Su Yu'er was completely panicked. She had no idea what to do. She had severely underestimated this demon. Their strengths were on completely different levels.

As the demon's attacks grew more frequent, the cracks in her shield widened. Her mind went blank, her eyes filled with terror. She had no idea what to do, only instinctively crying out, "Help!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, the demon shattered her protective shield with a single blow, then struck at her again.

There was no way out.

She had no more tricks up her sleeve.

However.

Just as she thought she was doomed, a rusty iron sword descended from the sky, slicing down right in front of her nose. She saw clearly that the hilt of the sword was indeed rusted.

But it was this very sword that, in her eyes, seemed to grow infinitely larger, trailing a long afterimage, exuding an overwhelming aura, and carrying a terrifying force. With a crushing momentum, it cleaved the two-headed demon in half.

Staring at the demon's corpse, Su Yu'er was speechless for a long time, her mind replaying that terrifying sword strike.

"So... so powerful!"

Her lips trembled.

Her gaze shifted to the side, where she saw the white-robed simpleton pick up a black demon core, blow on it, and casually walk past her, muttering, "Another ten thousand coins."

It took Su Yu'er a while to snap out of her daze. She quickly chased after him.

"Hey, what was that sword technique you just used? It was so cool, so powerful!"

Su Yu'er asked with admiration.

"That sword technique just now?"

Yi Feng thought seriously for a moment, then turned to Su Yu'er and said, "Let's just call it a basic attack."
