Chapter 68: Chapter 43: 10 Sword Lights, Demon Hunting Actual Combat

"This child is indeed quite diligent." Li Yinsheng nodded with a smile. "Compared to me back then, when it comes to hard work, she even outshines me."

"If you ask me, the two of you are about on par." Junior Martial Uncle Jiang gazed at Mu Xiaoyu’s figure as she practiced her swordplay. Her eyes lost focus slightly, lost in some unknown thought.

"The only difference is that you relied entirely on yourself, without anyone constantly pushing you from behind." Before Li Yinsheng could reply, she spoke again, her tone growing slightly more serious. "However, I see that her Yin Yang Light-Splitting Sword seems a bit slower than before."

"After all, the Light-Splitting Sword becomes harder the further you progress," Li Yinsheng said.

"True, but that’s not the only reason," Junior Martial Uncle Jiang replied. "Her own comprehension of wielding the Yin Yang Light-Splitting Sword lacks depth, which naturally slows her down."

"My junior martial sister and I spar quite frequently," Li Yinsheng noted.

Junior Martial Uncle Jiang shook her head. "She doesn’t need sparring; she needs a life-and-death struggle... Well, calling it a life-and-death struggle might be an exaggeration, but at the very least, it must be a real battle with real weapons, not just a spar. Once she experiences true combat with the Yin Yang Light-Splitting Sword, realizing she must rely on the Magic Sword and Sword Technique in her hands to determine life and death against her opponent, she will truly understand that the Yin Yang Light-Splitting Sword isn’t just a Sword Technique she’s learning—it’s intimately tied to her life. With that level of insight and awareness, both her cultivation speed with the Yin Yang Light-Splitting Sword and its power when executed will reach a whole new level."

Li Yinsheng looked thoughtful before saying, "I think I understand, though I don’t seem to have experienced this myself."

"Because you are among the very few Cultivators who never treated Magic as a game from the moment you began learning it, so you naturally skipped that step," Junior Martial Uncle Jiang said. She paused for a moment before adding, "Actually, I’m the same."

Li Yinsheng nodded. After a moment of thought, he asked, "Then, Martial Uncle, do you think it would be effective if I found a weaker demon and let my junior martial sister fight it?" ℴ

Given his junior martial sister’s current combat strength, finding a demon with comparable power would be incredibly easy. Powerful demons were rare, but weak ones were everywhere!

"It would," Junior Martial Uncle Jiang affirmed. "And you won’t have to go far. The vicinity of Xuanzhen Peak hasn’t been cleared out in many years. If you carefully scan the surrounding mountains with your Divine Sense, finding a couple of demons won’t be difficult."

Li Yinsheng nodded. Normally, there shouldn’t be any demons around a proper Daoist Temple, not even the lowest-tier ones. After all, with hundreds of disciples in a Daoist Temple, an occasional stroll through the nearby mountains to clear the mind would naturally wipe out any lurking demons.

However, Xuanzhen Temple was an exception.

After Li Yinsheng became a Daoist, he had once swept his Divine Sense over Xuanzhen Peak. While there were no demons on Xuanzhen Peak itself, he had indeed sensed faint traces of Demon Qi in the surrounding mountains during his search. However, that Demon Qi was so weak—most of them only slightly stronger than his junior martial sister—and they stayed hidden deep within the mountains without any chance to harm people. Because of this, Li Yinsheng had never bothered dealing with them.

Ultimately, ordinary demons were not Demon Cultivators; the difference between the two was like night and day. If an ordinary demon failed to achieve anything in its cultivation, its lifespan would be no different from a wild beast’s. They wouldn’t live past a dozen years, and some wouldn’t even survive for a few. Leaving them to live and die on their own was the norm.

He had far too many things keeping him busy. Who had the time to waste on a few insignificant demons?

But now... Since it concerned his junior martial sister’s cultivation, he really would have to take her to pay a visit to the little cuties in the surrounding mountains.
