Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 683: Almost Peeled My Breath

Self-detonating his demon core?

An ominous premonition surged within Hua Jin the True One's heart.

Was this truly necessary?

Chen Niu, an avatar of a Demon Immortal, was actually pushed to the brink of self-detonating his demon core?

She instantly grasped the gravity of the situation.

Should Chen Niu actually detonate himself,

they would all be doomed!

The purple-black demon core suddenly erupted with blinding radiance.

A wave of spatial destruction, capable of tearing fundamental essence, immediately spread outwards.

"Hurry! Stop him!" Hua Jin the True One screamed in alarm.

Zhang Yibai's heart sank as he channeled the formation with all his might.

Countless gigantic yin-yang sword phantoms condensed, forming a prison cage that enveloped both Chen Niu and the demon core.

Gu Changsheng forcefully gathered his True Essence, directing a concentrated sword light straight towards the demon core.

However, Chen Niu's movements were too swift and completely unexpected.

Ultimately, they were a step too late.

Boom—!

Yet, the demon core did not fully explode.

Instead, at the peak of the destructive wave, it suddenly collapsed inwards, creating a tiny black hole that devoured all light.

This black hole emitted an irresistible suction force.

Zhang Yibai's gigantic yin-yang sword phantoms were distorted and ripped apart by the black hole.

Gu Changsheng's sword light vanished into the black hole, like mud sinking into the sea.

Chen Niu's massive demon body was also lifted by the black hole's suction, as if seized by an invisible giant hand, and violently hurled into the black hole.

"Hua Jin! Sword maniac! I remember you both! When my true body descends, I will definitely extract your souls and refine your spirits—!!!" A profoundly venomous roar, filled with endless resentment and hatred, emerged from the black hole.

Immediately thereafter, the black hole suddenly contracted and disappeared.

In its place remained only the deep pit created by Chen Niu's demon body impact, the demon blood splattered throughout the pit, the broken gigantic bull horns, and the shattered fragments of magic treasures scattered everywhere.

"Uh..." Hua Jin the True One was momentarily stunned, then breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought he was going to self-destruct, but it turned out he was using the demon core self-destruction as a cover to escape... This Demon Immortal avatar is truly cunning."

"This Demon Immortal avatar should be quite weak now, right?"

Zhang Yibai narrowed his eyes and exchanged a glance with Chen Huaian.

"Wouldn't it be best if we took advantage of his weakness to kill him?"

However, Hua Jin the True One shook her head.

"Just now, Chen Niu utilized his innate divine ability, using the demon core to preserve his life. His aura will be completely concealed for a period of time, making him very difficult to track.

Moreover, he's merely an avatar now and doesn't need to recover from injuries at all. He only needs to establish a connection with his true body in the Upper Realm, and his depleted strength and foundation can be swiftly restored."

"So that's how it is." Zhang Yibai shook his head regretfully.

But this was also acceptable.

At least Chen Niu wouldn't be causing trouble for a while.

His and Chen Huaian's plans could proceed without any obstacles.

A premium Celestial Jade Marrow descended from the sky.

It landed right beside Lin Fan.

Purple-gold treasure light immediately enveloped most of the basin.

This also recaptured Hua Jin the True One's attention.

The torrent of ten thousand swords had long since transformed into countless black-silver flying swords after that single slash, falling like black snow, covering the devastated basin.

Lin Fan stood in the black "snow," picking up the cloth strip again to cover his eyes.

His body swayed, and he ultimately knelt on one knee, leaning on a sword as he breathed heavily.

"Perfect opportunity!" Hua Jin the True One's eyes lit up.

Seeing this variable at his weakest moment was exactly convenient for her to seize the Celestial Jade Marrow.

However, she had barely taken one step forward.

Lin Fan leisurely pulled out a bottle of pills from his chest, unscrewed the cap, tilted his head back and poured the entire contents into his mouth, then slowly stood up. The "black snow" covering the ground also returned to the air, hovering above his head to form a sword array.

Simultaneously—

Lin Fan's right hand gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist.

That sword wasn't any of the flying swords in the sky.

It had never been drawn in battle.

His eyes were covered with cloth, but Hua Jin the True One could sense beneath that cloth.

A pair of sharp gazes firmly locked onto her.

"Stop."

Lin Fan's lips moved slightly, the sword in his hand half-drawn from its sheath.

Hiss—!

Hua Jin the True One only felt a gentle breeze pass by her ear.

Several strands of hair drifted to the ground.

A small hill a hundred zhang behind her was diagonally sliced by an invisible Sword Intent.

With a "boom," it collapsed.

Hua Jin the True One's pupils contracted, and she inexplicably felt the urge to urinate.

Her steps halted, and she stood frozen in place.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan bent down to pick up the Celestial Jade Marrow.

He even held it up and gestured toward Hua Jin the True One.

"Mine." he said calmly.

Then, he walked over to the other three newly formed premium Celestial Jade Marrows, picking them up one by one.

"Mine."

"Also mine."

"Still mine."

After collecting all four Celestial Jade Marrows,

Lin Fan turned his head and gave Hua Jin the True One a malicious smile.

"Goodbye."

He sheathed his sword, waved his hand, and walked into the spatial tunnel with the countless flying swords.

The Sect Summoning Token's time happened to end at this exact moment.

Lin Fan had already returned to the Cangyun Realm.

Only when the Sword Intent locked on her body disappeared did Hua Jin the True One's legs go weak as she collapsed to sit on the ground, gasping for breath—it seemed she hadn't had a chance to breathe while facing Lin Fan, and only now could she breathe freely.

Chen Huaian looked at Hua Jin the True One's disheveled state.

Shaking his head inwardly.

This time Hua Jin the True One was truly devastated.

She couldn't defeat Chen Niu.

First, she was toyed with by Li Qingran at Nascent Soul middle stage.

Then she was crushed head-on by Lin Fan's realm suppression.

Lin Fan hadn't even made a move.

Just leaking a trace of Sword Intent had nearly scared the piss out of Hua Jin the True One.

This showed that the techniques cultivated by Ascenders and the mental fortitude they tempered were still too inferior.

From now on, Hua Jin the True One would probably work hard to cultivate the Heavenly Demon Art, right?

"Your Eminence, are... are you alright?" Wang Shouyi helped Hua Jin the True One sit down in her seat.

Hua Jin the True One's face didn't look good, her eyes were vacant, but she still forced a strained smile for Wang Shouyi: "I... I'm fine, it's nothing, I just need some quiet time to myself..."

After speaking, she hugged her knees and sank into self-isolation.

Wang Shouyi's heart ached terribly, but he could only hold Hua Jin's hand and stay by her side.

The pressure Hua Jin was facing was something he couldn't help her resolve.

Perhaps the only thing that could make Hua Jin the True One a bit happier now was that no one would compete for the next wave of Celestial Jade Marrows.

"Senior Chen, Senior Zhang, Senior Gu!" Wang Shouyi cupped his hands respectfully toward Chen Huaian and the other two, speaking sincerely: "Now that Chen Niu has been defeated and that mysterious sword cultivator has left, there's no one left to compete with our Kunlun Immortal Palace for the Celestial Jade Marrows.

I beg the three seniors to definitely protect the last three Celestial Jade Marrows.

Her Eminence's condition isn't good, I'm afraid she's incapable of fighting anymore."

This young man is very concerned about his woman~

Chen Huaian understood—if it were him, he wouldn't want Li Qingran to continue fighting in such circumstances either.

It's just a pity...

"Brother Wang, don't worry. As long as no accidents occur, we can obtain all the remaining three Celestial Jade Marrows."

Chen Huaian nodded.

He worked with Zhang Yibai and Gu Changsheng to stabilize the formation.

Since Chen Niu had already fled, the formation no longer needed to remain hidden. They directly made it emerge from the Earth Veins to intimidate any petty troublemakers nearby.

At the same time—

it was also to create a safe environment for Li Qingran to seize the Celestial Jade Marrows.
