Chapter 548: The Liu Banbi Who Isn\'t a Scholar Won\'t Listen to Reason

As the mighty river of sword qi surged forward, a brilliant sword qi burst from Liu Banbi\'s palm. However, it was not to slay Great Demon Wang Chuanin. Instead, it wrapped around this great demon, binding him tightly. Without hesitation, Liu Banbi dragged the bound demon by the sword qi chain as he advanced toward the demonic cloud in the west.

Great Demon Wang Chuan whose feathers had mostly been stripped away flapped his wings repeatedly, but all it accomplished was causing more demon blood to spill. Beyond that, it had no other effect.

He appeared utterly miserable.

Like a plucked chicken.

"Liu Banbi, do you really want to do this?!"

The great demon inside the western demonic cloud spoke, his voice cold and eerie, like a chilling wind from the depths of hell.

Liu Banbi sneered, "Damn right I do. If you don\'t like it, come kill Your Father?!"

"A bunch of animals over a hundred years old still have the face to ambush my Little Junior Sister, and now you think that Your Father is the one being unreasonable?" "Where were you before? You think that Your Father\'s little junior sister is someone that you can touch?!"

Liu Banbi was already close to the demonic cloud. Upon closer inspection, he was only a few dozen feet away.

"Wei Xu, damn it, keep that guy off of Your Father!"

Liu Banbi casually ordered before advancing.

Suddenly, he took a deep breath, and out of nowhere, a sword cry began to resonate between heaven and earth.

What followed was a truly outrageous sight.

Countless rays of sword light shot up from the ground toward the sky. If it were just that, one might say Liu Banbi had exhausted his tricks. After all, this technique was not much different from what he had used before. But what no one expected was that sword light also began descending from the sky above. Sword light converged from every corner of heaven and earth.

This was an incomparably massive sword formation, enveloping the entire world.

The river of sword qi was the first to rush into the demonic cloud, triggering countless sounds of tearing.

It was as if many things had been violently ripped apart.

In reality, it was the clash between sword qi and demonic qi, their constant entanglement, their fierce battle.

Liu Banbi was truly enraged.

Not because great demons appeared one after another, but because if he had not been here today, his little junior sister would not have been able to escape the fate of being killed.

Liu Banbi had a special bond with Xie Nandu.

Many times, he did not really see himself as his little junior sister\'s senior brother, but more like his little junior sister\'s master.

When it came to Sword Dao inheritance, the Dean did not have any knowledge, he was the one who had always been instructing his little junior sister.

And Little Junior Sister did not disappoint either. Despite being a woman, she already possessed nine flying swords; the only one in the world. In time, she was destined to become a female sword immortal. Such a once-in-a-century sword genius would naturally make any sword cultivator want to protect her, right?

Especially given their unique relationship.

Liu Banbi spat out a breath of sword qi and said softly, "Merge!"

The sword lights on both sides, which had initially begun to slow down between heaven and earth, suddenly accelerated their convergence at that moment, with the demonic cloud caught in the midst of them.

Countless radiant sword lights were now closing in.

The great demon who did not show his face from start to end, began to manifest an immense dharma idol, attempting to hold off the rapidly closing sword formation. However, just as the dharma idol was starting to appear and had not even reached its full size, the sword lights on both sides already began to fall.

"AHH!"

The great demon roared furiously, raising both hands in an attempt to hold the sword formation open!

Countless sword lights collided with the massive dharma idol!

Then came the countless sound of shattering, as if glass was being smashed to pieces.

But in reality, it was the sword qi that was shattering.

Yet, as the sword qi shattered, the scattered sword qi continued to assail the enormous dharma idol.

Between heaven and earth, sword lights were shattering everywhere. At the same time, the dharma idol\'s two hands were also being torn apart by the sword light.

The same happened to its legs.

As time went on, the massive dharma idol was gradually torn apart, with only bits and pieces remaining now.

Liu Banbi\'s complexion turned slightly pale.

Behind him, Great Demon Wang Chuan was now trembling with fear. He had never witnessed such a scene before. Although he had long heard of the sword immortal named Liu Banbi, known for slaying countless demons in the Northern Frontier, and for the sharpness of his Sword Dao, those were just rumors. Many great demons had never fought with this sword immortal.

But even without direct confrontation, who could have imagined that the killing power of this sword immortal was so fearsome!

The sky full of sword light had trapped the great demon within, leaving no chance of escape.

Liu Banbi glanced down at the massive dragon turtle on the ground.

He was silent for a moment.

In the end, Liu Banbi retracted his gaze and refocused on the scene before him.

Demonic qi exploded.

Under the overwhelming sword light, the demonic cloud rapidly shrank and then started to flee into the distance.

"Not on my watch!"

Liu Banbi dragged Great Demon Wang Chuan and chased after the demonic cloud!

Everyone had underestimated Liu Banbi.

Or rather, they all thought Liu Banbi was still the same Liu Banbi he had been on the Northern Frontier Great Wall, not expecting that after leaving the Northern Frontier, his cultivation realm had advanced so quickly, far beyond anyone\'s expectations.

For cultivators at their level, taking even one step forward was extremely difficult, but Liu Banbi had not just taken one step forward...

On the ground, the massive dragon turtle, which was also Great Demon Yuan Xu\'s true form, finally broke free of Wei Xu\'s entanglement. Without any hesitation, it turned and fled into the distance.

Liu Banbi\'s earlier words had been crystal clear, that sword immortal was determined to make all of them remain here forever.

If it had been before, they might not have believed him, but today\'s Liu Banbi left them with no choice but to believe.

Wei Xu wanted to stop Great Demon Yuan Xu, but in the end, he failed.

He sighed, standing still for a moment before finally walking toward Xie Nandu.

"Senior Brother Wei."

Xie Nandu looked at Wei Xu, bowed slightly, and said softly, "Thank you, Senior Brother Wei, for today."

Wei Xu\'s face was somewhat pale, but he still calmly shook his head, "I didn\'t do much. As long as Junior Sister doesn\'t mind."

Wang Kuan also spoke with a smile, "Greetings, Mr. Wei."

Gao Xuan followed suit.

Afterward, they all looked toward the sky. Although the demon cloud was fleeing into the distance, Liu Banbi\'s sword light pursued it relentlessly, clearly unwilling to let the great demon escape.

As for Great Demon Wang Chuan, it had been dragged by Liu Banbi all the way into the sword formation, where it was slain by countless swords.

Liu Banbi never loosened his sword-qi chain, continuing to drag the corpse as he pursued for at least several hundred miles.

"Liu Banbi, are you really determined to fight to the death like this?! Aren\'t you afraid of dying here?!"

The great demon never showed its face from start to finish, remaining hidden in the demon cloud. However, it was clearly becoming increasingly irritated by the constant harassment of sword light. The demon knew that even if Liu Banbi could kill him, the price Liu Banbi would have to pay would be substantial, and that price would be unbearable for him as well.

He was not worried whether Liu Banbi could walk out of the desolate north alive in the end, because before that could happen, he would surely die first.

"It\'s over!"

Liu Banbi yelled loudly.

Terrified, the great demon had no choice but to burn its blood essence, suddenly accelerating and fleeing even further away.

Liu Banbi slowly came to a stop, hovering in mid-air, watching the great demon flee into the distance. At last, he decided not to pursue.

However, when he turned around, Liu Banbi reached out to wipe the corner of his mouth.

Fights between powerhouses at the Nepenthe Realm were never easy.

Moreover, he had yet to step into the so-called Great Sword Immortal Realm, so he had fought at the same level. No matter how strong he was, there were limits too. Killing Wang Chuan had already drained most of his energy and sword qi.

But with that great demon coming to the rescue, if he did not behave more domineeringly, the outcome would likely have been much worse.

Liu Banbi glanced at the corpse of Great Demon Wang Chuan floating in the air and shook his head slightly.

……

……

One incense stick\'s time later, Liu Banbi returned. Xie Nandu had already been waiting for a long time.

Liu Banbi glanced at Wei Xu, showing some disdain. He frowned and said, "Wei Xu, you\'re really useless."

Wei Xu did not want to engage and just said softly, "Junior Sister, we can return to Coldgate Pass now."

Xie Nandu frowned slightly.

Before Xie Nandu could speak, Liu Banbi smiled and asked, "Are you worried about that stinking brat?"

Xie Nandu did not hide her thoughts and replied softly, "Senior Brother Liu, is someone keeping an eye on him too?"

Liu Banbi was silent for a moment before slowly shaking his head. "When I left the Northern Frontier Great General, that Lord Warden Commander, who is also the current the Great General, didn\'t made a move. In fact, he can\'t leave the Northern Frontier Great General. He has to guard against the demons moving south."

Xie Nandu frowned and asked, "Are there no other experts in the Northern Frontier?"

Liu Banbi bitterly smiled. "Of course there are, but many people have already been dispatched from the Northern Frontier Army."

Though he did not finish his sentence, everyone present understood what he meant.

Xie Nandu was silent for a moment.

But before she could speak, Wei Xu spoke up quietly, "His Majesty has headed up north."
