Secret Arts of the Immortal Path: The Marvelous Hands of Stealth

As the terrifying sword qi erupted, dense streams of sword qi appeared above Su Muxue, weaving into a massive sword net that shrouded Mo Tianxiao's head.

Astonishing sword intent pressed down from above. Even though it hadn't descended yet, Mo Tianxiao could already feel fine white marks appearing on the surface of his skin.

Had his physique not been so formidable, his body might have already started spurting blood.

Her sword strike was significantly stronger than when she executed it in the secret realm previously.

"Such terrifying sword qi! Can Eldest Senior Brother block it?"

"Maybe he should just concede? There is a whole realm of difference between them; even if he loses, it wouldn't be disgraceful."

"Right, Eldest Senior Brother absolutely must not get hurt."

The disciples watching from the surroundings looked worried. Even from this distance, they could feel the power of the sky-filling sword qi. One could only imagine the immense pressure their Eldest Senior Brother was enduring right beneath it.

"Senior Brother won't be in danger, right?"

Up on the high platform, Nangong Wan couldn't help but clench her fists, her small face full of tension. Senior Brother was only at the Soul Formation stage. Even if he used that mysterious armor, could he withstand so much sword qi?

"Is this... a Dao-grade sword technique?"

The elders of the Demonic Sect analyzed Su Muxue's sword move.

"The aura is slightly unstable, so she should have just grasped the basics. However, with this kind of posture, it is at least a Dao-grade sword technique."

First Elder Gu Changsheng stroked his beard, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

To be able to master a Dao-grade sword technique at the Profound Comprehension realm showed that her talent in the sword Dao was quite exceptional.

One must know that above Dao-grade spells was the Saint-grade. A sword technique of this caliber could be considered the absolute peak below the Saint realm.

"Tianxiao should be about to use the power of the Demonic Sect's inherited cultivation technique."

Many elders gazed at the Dao Discussion Arena below with some anticipation.

Based on their understanding of Mo Tianxiao, apart from the Devil Emperor's inherited technique, he didn't seem to have cultivated any other powerful spells or moves.

"Mo Tianxiao! If you still don't use your full strength, don't blame me for being heavy-handed!"

Su Muxue pointed her sword at Mo Tianxiao, her expression carrying a hint of coldness. She didn't even call him Fellow Daoist Mo anymore, directly calling out his full name.

To dare look down on her in front of so many people—this was completely intolerable!

"Little Xue, go easy on him. Don't break your future husband."

Su Muyao, who never minded making a scene bigger, teased playfully.

Hearing Su Muyao's words, the Demonic Sect disciples instantly erupted into an uproar.

"Hahahaha! Is Eldest Senior Brother really going to marry this fairy? Even the Palace Master of the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace has spoken."

"Eldest Senior Brother is truly lucky in love. He already has a peerless beauty like Senior Sister Nangong as his junior sister, and now he's provoked the Young Palace Master of the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace. Tsk tsk tsk..."

"Why don't any fairies fancy me like that?"

"Urinate on the ground and look at your reflection; that will solve your confusion. If you have no urine, feces will also do."

"What do you mean?"

"He's telling you to take a piss and look in the mirror!"

"I understand the piss part, but what about the feces?"

"If the excrement is runny, it can vaguely reflect an image."

"..."

"You two are disgusting..."

While the disciples discussed, the Demonic Sect elders all wore joyful expressions.

"Does the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace want to marry their Young Palace Master to Tianxiao?"

"This is a major event. I wonder what Tianxiao's thoughts are."

"If this succeeds, it will be excellent for both our sects."

"Hmm?"

The next instant, a gaze swept toward them. Meeting Yue Liuli's frosty eyes, the elders immediately fell silent. It was as if they had plunged into an ice cave, and cold sweat couldn't help but bead on their foreheads.

"Ahem, let's let Tianxiao decide this kind of matter himself. We shouldn't interfere."

"Right, right, right, First Elder makes sense!"

The elders nodded hastily. They only breathed a sigh of relief when Yue Liuli turned her gaze away.

Their Sect Master's moods were unpredictable. She seemed gentle, but in reality, she was anything but—especially when it came to her direct eldest disciple. In those matters, her word was absolute law.

Back then, the Second Elder had merely slightly opposed the Sect Master's opinion and was almost scared into wetting himself by a single sword strike. This was also the reason why the upper echelons of the Demonic Sect were so united.

Those with dissenting opinions had all been killed off; those who remained naturally shared a unified opinion.

Hearing her sister's teasing, Su Muxue couldn't help but blush, but she quickly calmed down. The most important thing right now was to defeat Mo Tianxiao to avenge his past frivolous behavior.

"It seems Senior is dead set on giving you to me."

Mo Tianxiao looked at Su Muxue not far away, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

This was his first time experiencing someone gifting him a wife. Although it felt weird, he felt inexplicably pleased inside.

"In your dreams!"

Su Muxue shouted delicately, then danced her longsword and slashed downwards. The countless streams of sword qi suspended above Mo Tianxiao's head descended like a massive net.

This lecher actually still dared to flirt with her at a time like this.

Facing the overwhelming sword qi, Mo Tianxiao remained as steady as an old dog. He slowly raised the longsword in his hand, holding it in front of his chest, a smile appearing on his lips.

Although he wouldn't use a Great Emperor technique to bully her, he never said he wouldn't use an Immortal Dao secret technique.

Immortal Dao Secret Technique: Empty-Handed Steal—Activate!

"Thousand Sword Net!"

Mo Tianxiao shouted fiercely, and the spiritual energy in his body suddenly erupted. In the next instant, countless fierce streams of sword qi soared into the sky from his body, weaving into a terrifying sword qi net above his head.

Meanwhile, Su Muxue's sword qi collapsed like a broken dam and vanished without a trace, as if it had never appeared in the first place.

"This is... the exact same move!?"

The spectating disciples' faces were written with shock. "Eldest Senior Brother actually knows this move too!"

"So strong! He shattered the opponent's sword qi in an instant! Could Eldest Senior Brother be a sword Dao prodigy? Did he learn the opponent's move with just one glance? Or did he already know this move to begin with?"

In the eyes of the many disciples, it was Mo Tianxiao's erupting fierce sword qi that directly washed away Su Muxue's attack.

In reality, Su Muxue's move had been stolen by Mo Tianxiao, resulting in her being completely unable to execute the Thousand Sword Net technique!

"How is this possible!?"

As the person involved, Su Muxue was the most dumbfounded. She continuously swung her sword, wanting to execute the sword move, but found that it had absolutely no effect.

It was as if she had never learned this sword stance. No matter how practiced her movements were, or how fiercely her spiritual energy erupted, nothing changed at all.

At this moment, she admitted that she was panicking. How could the other party steal her sword technique? Wasn't this too shameless?!

"Fellow Daoist Su, you've lost."

Following the swing of Mo Tianxiao's longsword, dense sword qi enveloped Su Muxue layer by layer. If she moved even a bit, she would be torn to shreds by the terrifying sword qi.

"I... concede!"

Although Su Muxue was completely bewildered, she wasn't a sore loser.

With her own strongest sword technique pressed against her throat, what else could she do but concede? Was she supposed to test if this sword qi was real or not?

After conceding, Su Muxue visibly drooped. She had originally wanted to seek revenge, but she actually lost in such a manner.

Her gaze stared intently at Mo Tianxiao. Gritting her silver teeth slightly, she spat out, "What exactly did you do?"
