At the critical moment, Jiang Tian shouted loudly and prepared to summon the red snow sword marrow to resist, hoping to resolve this life and death crisis.
At this moment, a dazzling white light suddenly flew out of the Sword Soul Valley.
This white light hovered slightly above the mouth of the valley, and he couldn't help but let out an angry shout.
"It's just as I expected! Who broke into the core area of Sword Soul Valley?" The white light volleyed, and an old man in plain robes with sharp eyes appeared.
His eyes swept around, and everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, as if a cold blade had pierced their hearts, and it was cold from their foreheads to the soles of their feet.
Even Ling Jiuyuan was shocked and his eyes became suspicious.
Looking at Jiang Tian behind the sword intention barrier, the old man couldn't help but shrink his eyes, and the stern look in his eyes flashed away.
With a cold snort, he suddenly swung out his right arm, and after a white light rolled through, the sword barrier instantly collapsed, and the life-threatening golden light was turned invisible.
Ling Jiuyuan's eyes twitched, his mind was shaken, and his face became extremely ugly!
He didn't know this old man, but he had heard some rumors. It was said that there was a person at the level of a sect elder who once lived in seclusion in the Sword Soul Valley.
Could it be that this is the person in front of me?
"Ling Jiuyuan, deputy master of the Golden Palace, pays homage to my senior! Please forgive me for being blind, but may I ask which elder of the academy you are?" Even Ling Jiuyuan had to remain humble in front of this old man with a terrifying cultivation level.
Seeing Ling Jiuyuan's posture, many disciples quickly bowed to pay homage, but they were too nervous to say anything.
The old man didn't even look back, as if he hadn't heard Ling Jiuyuan's question at all.
"Who are you?" He looked at Jiang Tian coldly, his eyes majestic and sharp.
Although the old man resolved a crisis for him, Jiang Tian did not feel much kindness from him, but only the majesty and indifference of a strong man.
Even so, Jiang Tian still bowed to him.
"Thank you, senior!"
The old man waved his hand: "Don't be wordy! Why do you want to enter the core area of Sword Soul Valley?"
Jiang Tian's mind was shaken, and he suddenly understood something. He frowned and stopped talking.
"Humph!" The old man snorted coldly, but without seeing any movement, the huge sword intent from the Sword Soul Valley surged out wildly, setting up a barrier around him.
In an instant, the two figures disappeared from everyone's eyes.
Similarly, Jiang Tian could no longer see Ling Jiuyuan and several others.
"This is..." Jiang Tian's eyes twitched, feeling a little uneasy.
The old man said coldly: "They can't see or hear. What can I say now? Did you take away the cold jade sword marrow?"
Jiang Tian frowned, but in front of this unfathomable old man, he didn't dare to do anything, so he could only nod and admit.
"Very good!" The old man nodded, smiled coldly, stretched out his palm, "Bring it here!"
Jiang Tian's face froze, and he glanced at the old man. He immediately felt his eyes sore and his mind was shaken.
The old man's eyes were really sharp and compelling, and he had no doubt that if he dared not to obey, the other party would do it himself or even kill him.
If it were Ling Jiuyuan, he could still deal with it, but in front of this old man, he was really as weak as an ant.
Compared with his own life, no matter how good the treasure is, it is worthless. In desperation, he had no choice but to obey the other party and silently summoned the Scarlet Snow Sword Essence.
"Huh?" The old man shrank his eyes, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
Looking at this strange sword blade that blends red and white, it is rare to see a hint of surprise.
"Interesting!" The old man's eyes gradually became fiery. After observing for a moment, he reached out to touch the marrow of the Red Snow Sword.
Unexpectedly, Chi Xue made a leisurely movement and flew back to Jiang Tian, as if she was wary of the old man.
"Huh?" The old man's face darkened, but he did not get angry. Instead, his eyes flickered and he nodded thoughtfully.
"Good boy, I spent so much effort but couldn't tame it, but you did it easily. What a great opportunity!"
The old man looked at Jiang Tian coldly and found that his cultivation was quite shallow, and his swordsmanship was only at the level of "turning a sword into a spirit", and there was nothing outstanding about him at all.
The kid in front of me is obviously not that simple.
"How did you do it?" the old man asked coldly, leaving no room for doubt.
Jiang Tian frowned and said, "It's a coincidence."
"What a coincidence!" The old man smiled coldly, knowing that what Jiang Tian said was not false.
If he hadn't had a great chance, not only would he be unable to control the Cold Crystal Sword Marrow, but he would even lose his life.
Moreover, the current Chixue Sword Marrow obviously incorporates another kind of sword intent, which is a huge surprise to him!
"No matter what opportunity you have, I will take the Cold Jade Sword Crystal. This is a treasure that I have spent a lot of effort to cultivate. I will never allow others to get involved!"
The old man moved his right hand and suddenly grabbed the red snow sword marrow. The sword intent lingered between his five fingers, showing his terrifying swordsmanship.
Jiang Tian was shocked and thought something was wrong.
"Huh?" The old man couldn't help but be surprised when he caught it. With his cultivation and swordsmanship, this was simply unbelievable.
He did not give up and tried several times in succession, but failed without exception.
Disappointed, he couldn't help but frown and looked at Jiang Tian coldly, his eyes flickering.
The corners of Jiang Tian's eyes twitched, and his heart was frightened.
Being glanced at by the old man made me feel as if I was walking back and forth on the edge of life and death. I felt extremely uneasy.
"How is that possible?" The old man frowned and sighed, feeling a little unbelievable.
Even if a small disciple of the Spirit-Building Realm were lucky enough to control the Cold Crystal Sword Marrow, how could it be possible for him to completely recognize his master?
But the facts in front of him told him that the cold crystal sword marrow was completely out of his control, which meant that the sword marrow had already been imprinted with spiritual power, and had even completed the recognition of its master.
"That's unreasonable!" The old man snorted coldly, raised his hands and burst out with strong sword intent, trying to forcibly control the Scarlet Snow Sword Marrow.
The sword intent spread out, and Jiang Tian couldn't help but change his expression, feeling extremely depressed.
However, this attempt still ended in failure, and the old man had to calm down and re-examine the blade.
After a while, he took out a damaged ancient sword, his eyes flashed thoughtfully.
"It seems that I can only give it a try with the Burning Phoenix Ancient Sword!" The old man said to himself for a while, and soon the ancient sword was filled with sword intent, trying to forcibly suppress the Scarlet Snow Sword Essence.
This time, Chixue Sword Marrow finally had a positive reaction. After sensing the sword intent emitted by the Burning Phoenix Ancient Sword, the flow of sword intent accelerated throughout the body, and the pressure of the sword intent was ready to move.
"Very good!" The old man was very happy and waved the Burning Phoenix Ancient Sword to suppress Chi Xue.
But the next moment, his eyes shrank and his face became very ugly.
As soon as the two sword blades came into contact, the red snow sword marrow turned into a flowing brilliance and enveloped the Burning Phoenix Ancient Sword, and quickly swallowed it up.
"How could this happen?" The old man's eyes were twitching wildly, and he quickly let go of his hand. If he had reacted any slower, he might have been stabbed by the pressure of the Red Snow Sword Marrow!
