Xu Le sheathed his sword. The Sword Saint was only half a step away from becoming an immortal. Once he got the opportunity, he would transform from a mortal to an immortal. With his swordsmanship, he would be like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, with a bright future ahead. Even with Xu Le's strength, he could not guarantee that he could keep him here, let alone kill him.
Therefore, a confrontation based on momentary anger is meaningless. He has already stepped halfway into the Dao Integration Realm and can stand up to the Sword Saint. Once he returns to the Void and integrates with the Dao, he can easily suppress him.
The high-speed water sword in Xu Le's hand dissipated into the sky and earth. He smiled and said, "This is my special secret technique. It accelerates the vibration of the water sword to create powerful destructive force!"
"Acceleration, oscillation?"
The Sword Saint seemed to have gained some inspiration. He muttered to himself as he walked away on his sword, seemingly preparing to go back and digest what he had learned.
Looking at the Sword Saint's appearance, Xu Le knew that he was bound to take another step forward, and perhaps he would gain the opportunity to become an immortal. But so what? As long as he obtained the Five Elemental Pearls and promoted the evolution of the world, he could step into the immortal realm and shed his mortal body. At that time, the Sword Saint would no longer be worth his attention.

Xu Le watched Dugu Yuyun's departing figure with a slightly cold gaze. He couldn't kill her now, so he would settle accounts with her after his promotion.
Turning around, Xu Le saw his grandmother being supported by Zhao Ling'er. Although she was weak, the Sword Saint was not a bloodthirsty person. He was just rigid and stubborn. He only dismissed the maids on the island and did not attack the old, weak and sick.
Grandma, being an experienced woman herself, could tell at a glance that Zhao Ling'er was no longer a virgin. Her joy was mixed with a touch of heartache, but seeing that Ling'er's face showed no sorrow, but rather a hint of charm in her eyes, she could only hope that Ling'er could continue to be happy like this.
She then inquired about some specific matters, and Ling'er, aside from a few private things she was ashamed to talk about, naturally told her everything.
Xu Le stood on the beach at the edge of the island, looking at the deep blue coastline. Footsteps came from behind him. Zhao Ling'er, who had changed into a green dress, walked over reluctantly, turning back every three steps.
Let's go!
Xu Le condensed water vapor into clouds and mist, lifting himself and Zhao Ling'er up, and soon they arrived at the small fishing village.
Ling'er, newly arrived in the outside world, was filled with curiosity. She would glance at the street vendors from time to time, her eyes lingering on the candied hawthorns. Ultimately, being the obedient girl she was, she remained silent, still carrying her bundle and following closely behind Xu Le.
Thump!
While looking around, Ling'er accidentally bumped into Xu Le's arms. Before she could speak, a glistening candied hawthorn was handed to Zhao Ling'er. Her delicate nose twitched slightly as she sniffed the sweet aroma of the candy.
"Eat!"
Although Xu Le is domineering, he is not stingy with his own people, and it is only right that he fulfills some reasonable requests.
Just like that saying online, be my little princess, only eat... never suffer.
Zhao Ling'er took the candied hawthorn, smiled blankly, put it in her mouth and slowly savored it. The faint sweetness spread from the tip of her tongue and sweetened her heart.
Zhao Ling'er is just like that; she is satisfied with simple care. Her ethereal and kind personality is also what makes her most attractive.
Xu Le looked at Zhao Ling'er, who was immersed in happiness, and his heart was slightly stirred. However, his feelings for Zhao Ling'er were more of a possessive desire, as if she were his own treasure. Perhaps there was some liking for the character, but it could never turn into love, because once there is love, there will be ties, and he will have weaknesses.
For someone who pursues eternity, all external things are illusory; only power is eternal.
"Brother Xiaoyao, don't you dare run away!"
Two beautiful young girls were running down the street. Ahead of them, Li Xiaoyao was fleeing in a sorry state, like a mouse seeing a cat, pushing and shoving through the crowd. He happened to see Xu Le with Zhao Ling'er.
Li Xiaoyao smiled and was about to greet them when he realized that the two little devils had caught up. He gave Xu Le an apologetic smile and continued running forward, brushing past Zhao Ling'er.
"Brother Xiaoyao?"
When Zhao Ling'er saw Li Xiaoyao's face, it seemed to overlap with that of someone from many years ago. She murmured to herself, but then shook her head to dismiss the thought.
Her carefree brother was brave and extraordinary, and compared to the disheveled appearance of the man in front of her, his temperament was far inferior. Moreover, she was now a wife and had a new support.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ling'er stepped forward and tugged at Xu Le's sleeve.
Xu Le also heard Zhao Ling'er's murmur and felt a little puzzled. The reason why Zhao Ling'er knew Li Xiaoyao was because he traveled back in time to ten years ago and sent her to Immortal Spirit Island. But now all the timelines have been changed, so why does she still recognize Li Xiaoyao and still call him Brother Xiaoyao?
Thinking of this, Xu Le's gaze seemed to pierce through space, and he saw Li Xiaoyao laughing and playing with the two sisters in the distance. Although he still looked like a fishing village boy, Xu Le's keen senses detected a sword intent in his eyes.
The sword intent is like water, which is all-encompassing and seems to explain the principle of following the will of Heaven. Xu Le was very familiar with this sword intent; it was from the sword saint, Dugu Yuyun, with whom he had just fought.
Unexpectedly, despite changing the Sword Immortal, Li Xiaoyao's master became Dugu Yuyun under the powerful inertia of fate, seemingly continuing to follow the pre-written script.
However, Zhao Ling'er has already become Xu Le's woman, and Li Xiaoyao remains carefree. Whether he will become a carefree young hero or suffer a tragic life like in the original story is not of much concern to Xu Le. This is a real world, and perhaps there is such a thing as destiny, but Li Xiaoyao is not the only protagonist in the Legend of Sword and Fairy series. He is just one of the representative characters.
Xu Le bought a carriage at the stables and left with Zhao Ling'er.
……
As dusk fell, the campfire burned wood to provide light and illuminate the surroundings. A poor pheasant was plucked and gutted by telekinesis. Zhao Ling'er cast a spell to wash it with water, and then Xu Le personally roasted it.
Several shadowy warriors emerged from the ground, each carrying a plate containing steel needles and various barbecue seasonings. They respectfully half-knelt in front of Xu Le and offered the plates to him.
At first, Zhao Ling'er was a little scared of these shadowy warriors with their intimidating appearance, but after learning that they were her husband's subordinates, and seeing their hardworking and conscientious attitude, she gradually accepted their presence.
Xu Le picked up a steel needle and deftly pierced it into the snow-white chicken, then coated it with a secret sauce. These were all obtained by the Shadow Warrior from famous chefs through various means, and as long as they knew what was good for them, they would be compensated.
If they don't know what's good for them...
Wild pheasants, paired with a honey-glazed sauce, slowly turn golden brown under the heat of the flames. The sauce gradually seeps into the chicken and spreads evenly throughout the meat thanks to the heat of the flames. The flavor of the meat and the unique aroma of the sauce, after being cooked, blend together to create an enticing fragrance.
Zhao Ling'er, who was standing nearby, smelled the aroma and her stomach rumbled loudly. She blushed and accepted the chicken wing that Xu Le handed her.
Rustling sound!
The sound of animals moving quickly came from the bushes not far away, and a large number of dark shadows reappeared on the ground. Dozens of shadowy warriors moved through the dense forest, their knives flying in the air.
