My Silly, Sweet Wife

On the lake surface, it was like a hurricane howling.

The waves were several dozen meters high, almost obscuring everyone’s view.

Ye Guichen had not expected Jitian’s skills to be this terrifying.

Yet, his expression remained calm.

”Without using your One Slash, you cannot possibly defeat me!” Ye Guichen spoke, grabbing a green vine underfoot, and flung it outward.

The vine instantly dissipated, as if it came alive, rapidly transforming into a green dragon that roared and swallowed the fierce tiger.

Roar!

A roar echoed.

The fierce tiger dispersed, but the Green Vine Dragon did not stop.

It hovered in mid-air for a moment, then whipped its tail and lunged at Jitian.

”Good technique!” Jitian was startled, not expecting Ye Guichen to have such prowess: ”Turning a vine into a dragon, haha, it seems you have a deep mastery in magical techniques! These years I’ve revered the Ghosts and Gods, and have learned some techniques. Since today you want to use magic against me, let me show you my Ghost God Sword!”

With those words, a piece of talisman paper appeared in Jitian’s hand.

He threw it into the air, chanting words under his breath.

The talisman paper ignited without wind, turning to ash in almost the blink of an eye.

The ash did not scatter in the wind, but quickly transformed into a giant ghost shadow over ten meters tall.

The ghost shadow had a blue face and sharp teeth, holding a steel fork like a deity demon.

”Roar!”

After a roar, the ghost shadow lifted the steel fork, slicing the Green Vine Dragon into oblivion.

Then, the steel fork swung sideways, sweeping towards Ye Guichen like a speeding train.

Ye Guichen’s body seemed paralyzed, unable to move.

”Come well!”

Seeing he couldn’t evade, Ye Guichen directly employed the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique, causing black shields to appear around him.

Bang!

The steel fork slammed heavily onto Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen remained unmoved, but the black shields instantly dissipated.

”The ghosts and gods you revere are but mere little ghosts in my eyes!” Ye Guichen broke free from the ghost god’s constraints, using the water beneath his feet to rise into the air, while pushing the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique to its peak, striking with an open hand: ”Great Mercy and Compassion!”

Whether they be Hua Country’s phantoms or Japan’s ghost gods, they are all yin entities.

The restraining effect of the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique is unmatched.

After this strike.

The ghost shadow shivered inside, intending to flee.

However, the giant hand transformed into a Five-Finger Mountain, pressing the ghost shadow down from above.

Before it submerged into the water, the ghost shadow was crushed into oblivion.

Ye Guichen didn’t pause, chopping towards Jitian again: ”The ghost god you revere is just so-so. If you don’t use your One Slash ultimate skill now, the next move will be your time of death!”

Jitian’s expression finally changed.

His moves were all restrained.

”Good lad, today, let’s see who dies atop this Tai Lake!”

Drawing the sword from his waist: ”Heaven and Earth One Slash!”

The surroundings seemed swept by a gale.

As the sword appeared, it instantly shattered Ye Guichen’s palm wind.

Jitian smiled wickedly: ”I sat in the Ghost God Shrine for three years, contemplating this Heaven and Earth One Slash. Now it has reached mastery, even if you’re truly an immortal, I can break you with one slash in front of me! Hmph hmph, dying under my blade is also your honor!”

Ye Guichen furrowed his eyebrows.

He could sense the extraordinariness of that sword.

Moreover, the power of One Slash could likely split the Tai Lake into two.

”If so, let me give it a try!”

Ye Guichen, nonchalant, drew out the Immortal Slayer Sword: ”With another strike, life or death will be decided!”

Seeing Ye Guichen wield the heavy sword, Jitian was first stunned, then laughed loudly: ”Good!”

Without further delay, he launched the slash!

Massive waves rolled.

The entire Tai Lake seemed to boil, as the lake water reversed, soaring tens of meters high.

Those watching from the shore were hit by the impact of this slash, retreating quickly.

Some who retreated slower were actually injured by the blade’s energy, their bodies slashed with countless cuts.

”So frightening!”

”Isn’t this Jitian’s ultimate skill One Slash?”

”This isn’t human, right? No wonder it’s called Half-step Immortal, reaching this realm in martial arts leaves no regrets in this life!”

The crowd commented in awe.

Most were beginning to worry for Ye Guichen.

Under such a terrifying One Slash, Ye Guichen’s hope of survival seemed too slim.

Even Fang Tiancheng was stunned for a moment.

In this situation, Ye Guichen couldn’t possibly survive.

But if Ye Guichen died, he couldn’t bring Ye Guichen to King Qin, and wouldn’t be able to report back, facing certain death himself.

”Who would have thought, never imagined there’s truly a realm of Half-step Immortal in the world, even the strongest among the Seven Kings is just so-so!” Fang Tiancheng sighed, realizing the Hidden Sect Seven Kings had been silent these years due to worthy opponents.

Though compared to the secular world, the Hidden Sect’s influence is a notch higher, but if truly forced out to contend with the secular world head-on, losses would surely be severe.

After all, experts like Jitian have surpassed ninety-nine percent of martial practitioners within the Hidden Sect.

Ye Guichen at this moment was also swept within the lake, his figure seemingly vanished.

Everyone watched tensely at the center of the lake, hoping for a miracle.

Ye Guichen’s eyes finally revealed a fervent glow.

All this time, no matter who Ye Guichen faced, he had never shown his true skills.

Only because his cultivation seemed on a higher level.

Today, Ye Guichen finally felt he could exert himself fully.

”Senior Xiao Yao, today will be the day your Immortal Slayer Sword gains fame!” Ye Guichen licked his lips, finding the lake water surprisingly sweet.

Then, Ye Guichen gripped the heavy sword with both hands, mystical energy surged beneath his feet, as if riding the waves, standing in mid-air.

”Slash... Immortal!”

With those words, a sword strike was launched.

Ordinary and unremarkable.

Yet, the power surging from the heavy sword seemed like a dragon emerging from the sea.

Even the sky turned dark and foreboding in an instant.

”Hmm?”

At the same moment Ye Guichen launched the sword strike, Jitian was overwhelmed by an unprecedented sense of crisis.

He wanted to retrieve his own slash, but it was too late.

His original slash seemed to have cut the entire Tai Lake, including Ye Guichen.

That feeling of victory made Jitian’s lips curl into a smile.

But at this moment, the smile froze on his face.

Because that feeling of certain victory seemed shattered in an instant, replaced by endless terror and the scent of death.

Having worshipped at the Ghost God Shrine for so many years, Jitian knew that if a person was about to die, they would have a premonition.

And at this moment, that feeling in Jitian’s heart grew exceptionally strong.

He wanted to abandon the sword and flee.

However, his body seemed paralyzed by a strange force.

Even his soul couldn’t move, leaving only inner terror.

Within the lake water soaring sky-high, Jitian’s pupils contracted.

He saw a sword slashing towards him amidst the lake water.

But in his eyes, it wasn’t just a sword, but a terrifying beast capable of devouring all.

In a flash.

Jitian’s pupils abruptly contracted, feeling a chill at the center of his brow.

Looking down, he saw the sword in his hand already shattered into pieces.

The mist in mid-air was all split in two.

And he himself was horrified to find that his hands, raised before him, were also cleanly cut into halves.
