Chapter 131: Master

Tang Yun was well-prepared; he brandished his long sword and met him.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

A series of metal collision sounds echoed in the room, and the two went back and forth, fighting fiercely.

Although Tang Yun's strength was not as good as Shadow Demon's, relying on his rich combat experience and flexible footwork, he barely managed to cope with Shadow Demon.

However, as time passed, Tang Yun's disadvantage gradually became apparent.

His spiritual power consumption was getting larger and larger, and his movements began to become sluggish.

While Shadow Demon fought more and more bravely, his attacks became increasingly fierce.

"Kid, your death day has arrived!" Shadow Demon said with a ferocious laugh, the dagger in his hand turning into a streak of black light, stabbing toward Tang Yun's chest.

Tang Yun's heart sank; he knew he couldn't dodge anymore.

Just at this critical moment, a streak of golden light suddenly shot in from outside the window, hitting the dagger in Shadow Demon's hand.

"Clang!"

With a crisp sound, the dagger was knocked away and fell to the ground.

Tang Yun and Shadow Demon were both stunned; they looked toward the window at the same time.

They saw an old man in white standing outside the window, holding a golden long sword in his hand.

"Master!" Tang Yun called out in surprise.

The person who came was Tang Yun's master, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Tang Jiuxiao.

"Evil beast, how dare you hurt my disciple!" Tang Jiuxiao shouted angrily, his figure flashed, and he appeared in the room.

The golden long sword in his hand emitted a dazzling light, and a powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire room.

Shadow Demon's face changed greatly; he didn't expect to meet the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect here.

He secretly called out bad, knowing that he was probably in for a rough time today.

"Jiuxiao, you... don't you meddle in other people's business!" Shadow Demon said with a fierce look but a weak heart.

Tang Jiuxiao laughed coldly, "My disciple's business is my business; you hurt him, which is equivalent to hurting me. Today, don't even think about leaving here alive!"

Shadow Demon knew that it would be difficult to end well today; he gritted his teeth, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

"Since that's the case, let's fight to the death!"

Shadow Demon roared, the black energy on his body suddenly surged, and the whole person was like a huge black vortex, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.

Seeing this, Tang Jiuxiao's face also became solemn. He knew that Shadow Demon was going to fight for his life.

"Yun'er, you step back!" Tang Jiuxiao said in a deep voice.

Tang Yun nodded; he knew that staying here would only be a burden to his master. He hurriedly stepped aside and watched the battle before him nervously.

Tang Jiuxiao swung the golden sword in his hand, and a dazzling sword light slashed toward Shadow Demon.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the sword light collided with the black energy, erupting with powerful energy fluctuations, and the entire room shook violently.

Shadow Demon was knocked back several steps by the sword light, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Old thing, your strength is indeed very strong, but wanting to kill me is not that easy!"

Shadow Demon wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes.

He urged the black energy in his body again and pounced toward Tang Jiuxiao.

Tang Jiuxiao snorted coldly, the golden sword in his hand brandished continuously, and streaks of sword light attacked Shadow Demon like a storm.

Shadow Demon dodged left and right, barely resisting Tang Jiuxiao's attacks.

However, Tang Jiuxiao's strength was simply too strong; Shadow Demon was no match for him at all.

Not long after, Shadow Demon had several more wounds on his body, and blood flowed continuously.

"Damn it!" Shadow Demon cursed secretly; he knew that he was doomed today.

He glanced at Tang Yun who was standing aside, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.

"Kid, you just wait, I won't let you go even as a ghost!" Shadow Demon roared.

Tang Jiuxiao laughed coldly, "You'd better think about how to survive first!"

He swung the golden sword in his hand, and a sharp sword light slashed toward Shadow Demon's head.

Shadow Demon hurriedly raised the dagger in his hand to block.

"Clang!"

With a crisp sound, the dagger was cut off by the golden sword, and the sword light continued its momentum, slashing directly onto Shadow Demon's neck.

"Puff!"

Blood gushed out, Shadow Demon's head flew out, landed on the ground, rolled a few times, and then stopped.

Shadow Demon, dead!

Seeing this, Tang Yun let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.

He walked to Tang Jiuxiao's side and said respectfully, "Master, thank you for your help."

Tang Jiuxiao nodded and said, "Yun'er, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Master," Tang Yun shook his head.

"That's good," Tang Jiuxiao said gratifyingly, "You did very well this time and successfully completed the mission."

Tang Yun smiled and said, "This is all thanks to Master's good teaching."

"Alright, let's go," Tang Jiuxiao said, "The matter here has been resolved, we should go back."

"Yes, Master," Tang Yun nodded.

The two left the room and walked toward the outside.

When they reached the door, Tang Yun suddenly stopped.

He looked back at the room, and a feeling of unease suddenly surged in his heart.

He always felt that things didn't seem that simple.

"What's wrong, Yun'er?" Tang Jiuxiao asked.

"Master, I always feel that something is wrong," Tang Yun said, "Are we really just leaving like this?"

Tang Jiuxiao frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know either," Tang Yun shook his head, "I just feel a bit uneasy."

Tang Jiuxiao pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, let's go back in and take a look."

"Okay," Tang Yun nodded.

The two returned to the room again.

The room was in a mess, with traces of the battle everywhere.

Tang Yun carefully observed the surrounding environment, hoping to find some clues.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on a piece of torn cloth on the ground.

He bent down to pick up the torn cloth and looked at it carefully.

The material of this torn cloth was very special, like the fur of some animal.

"Master, look." Tang Yun handed the torn cloth to Tang Jiuxiao.

Tang Jiuxiao took the torn cloth and looked at it carefully, his face suddenly becoming solemn.

"This is... this is Shadow Demon's skin!" Tang Jiuxiao said in a deep voice.

"What?" Hearing this, Tang Yun's face also became ugly.

"How could Shadow Demon's skin be here?" Tang Yun asked puzzledly.

"It seems that what we killed was not the real Shadow Demon," Tang Jiuxiao said in a deep voice, "The real Shadow Demon is probably still in the dark."

Tang Yun's heart sank; he knew that he and his master might have been deceived.

"Then what should we do now?" Tang Yun asked.

Tang Jiuxiao pondered for a moment and said, "Let's leave here first, and then discuss it in the long run."

"Okay," Tang Yun nodded.

The two left the room and quickly left the residence.

Just shortly after they left, a black shadow walked out from the dark.

He looked at the direction Tang Yun and Tang Jiuxiao left, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Tang Jiuxiao, do you think you really killed me? You are too naive!" The black shadow said coldly, "I will be back!" ===== CHAPTER 132 =====
