Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1251: Chapter 1248: Sword Immortal Powerhouses, the Chance of the Taoist Law (4th Update)

But it was all too late.

In that instant, the streak of light had already flown close by.

It was only then that Xing Yushu could see clearly, what was this streak of light, if not a dazzling sword light.

At the same time.

A muffled thud followed.

The streak of light slashed through without any hindrance.

Then the figure of the Demon Ghost stiffened on the spot.

Everything fell silent.

After slashing through the Demon Ghost, the sword light vanished into nothingness.

The Talisman Spell that had just been emitting golden light on the city wall also returned to normal.

Xing Yushu stared blankly.

Just then, a fine crack appeared in the middle of the Demon Ghost’s body, which then rapidly expanded.

In an instant, the Demon Ghost split in two and began to fall slowly.

But before it could reach the ground, the body disintegrated into dust and disappeared without a trace.

Thus, the once domineering Demon Ghost perished.

Xing Yushu could hardly believe his own eyes.

He naturally could sense the formidable strength of the Demon Ghost, and believed that even if his grandfather were not injured, it would be very difficult to defeat it.

Therefore, Xing Yushu had already braced himself for a fight to the death.

But unexpectedly, the Demon Ghost was severed into nothingness by a single sword strike.

How mighty must one be to wield such divine power?

Could it be a passing expert?

Doubt filled Xing Yushu’s heart as he looked up to the night sky.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he started running towards the distance.

When he arrived in front of the courtyard where Xue An lived, he was about to knock when the door slowly opened.

Xue An stood behind the door, giving Xing Yushu a slight smile, ”Brother Xing, still not asleep at this hour? Perfect timing, I was just about to look for you. What was that thing just now?”

Xing Yushu looked at Xue An’s face, which was smiling gently, with flickering uncertainty in his eyes.

He had indeed suspected that the sword light was cast by this stranger.

But upon seeing Xue An, that thought suddenly vanished.

Because no matter how he looked at it, this young man in white, apart from a serene demeanor, had nothing remarkable about him.

And it seemed from what he said that he didn’t even know what the Demon Ghost was just now?

With this in mind, Xing Yushu lowered his head and said softly, ”It’s nothing, just go back to sleep and don’t come out again without a good reason!”

With that, Xing Yushu turned and left.

Xue An watched his retreating figure, smiled, closed the door again, and then looked towards the distant sky, murmuring lightly.

”Even the Nine-character True Words have been passed down, things are getting more and more interesting!”

When Xing Yushu returned to Vermilion Tower, Xing Yuhe had regained some consciousness, but he was extremely weak now and did not know what had happened outside. He could only sense that the aura of the Demon Ghost had vanished and couldn’t help feeling somewhat startled and puzzled.

Upon seeing Xing Yushu enter, he forced himself to ask, ”What has happened? What’s the situation outside?”

Xing Yushu did not speak. Instead, he walked straight to the bedside, standing there with a bewildered look on his face.

”Yushu, what exactly is happening outside? What about the Demon Ghost?” Xing Yuhe asked anxiously.

”Dead... It’s dead!”

”Dead?” Xing Yuhe let out a sigh of relief, ”Was it killed by the Nine-character True Words?”

Xing Yushu shook his head, ”No.”

Xing Yuhe was stunned, ”Then what happened?”

After he had struck with that sword, he lost consciousness and naturally did not know what had happened outside.

Taking a deep breath and with a slight tremble in his body, Xing Yushu spoke with a look of horror, ”There was... a sword light that descended from the sky, slicing the Demon Ghost into nothingness!”

Xing Yuhe’s heart shook upon hearing this, and with his emotions agitated, his old wounds were affected, causing him to cough violently again.

It was only then that Xing Yushu snapped out of his bewilderment and hurried forward to massage his grandfather.

It took a while before Xing Yuhe recovered. Then, in an urgent tone, he said, ”Tell me everything that happened without missing a single detail!”

Xing Yushu nodded, not daring to conceal anything, and recounted everything that had happened.

After listening, Xing Yuhe fell silent for a moment.

Then Xing Yushu said softly, ”Grandfather, I suspected at that moment it might have been that fellow, but when I got there, I found that he seemed completely unaware of it.”

Hearing this, Xing Yuhe shook his head, ”It shouldn’t have been him. After all, if it were as you described, the might of that sword would have surpassed the realm of ordinary powerhouses and reached the pinnacle of refinement! And for someone to possess such swordsmanship, even in the entire continent, they would be few and rare, attainable only after hundreds of years of tempering. It’s impossible for a youth to possess such ability!”

”So you’re saying...”

Xing Yuhe let out a deep sigh, ”It must have been some passing Sword Immortal.”

Listening to this, Xing Yushu became lost in thought, ”A Sword Immortal! Grandfather, do Sword Immortals really exist in this world?”

Xing Yuhe chuckled and shook his head, ”Of course they do, and they’re an extremely powerful group of individuals too!”

”Even more powerful than your sect?” Xing Yushu asked quietly.

Xing Yuhe’s expression turned sober, ”That’s incomparable. However, the lineage of my sect is extremely ancient and powerful. I am just an inconspicuous disciple among them!”

Speaking of this, Xing Yuhe struggled to reach out and softly touched Xing Yushu’s head, ”Yushu, my own talent was limited, and my achievements were extremely limited. But you are different from me; your aptitude far surpasses what mine was back then. Therefore, I hope that when you inherit my opportunity in the future and enter the sect, you will practice diligently and surpass me!”

With tears shining in his eyes, Xing Yushu bowed his head sadly, ”Grandfather, I don’t want any opportunity; I want to be with you!”

”Silly child, it’s okay to say this to me, but you must never speak carelessly to others. Do you realize how precious this opportunity is? If I didn’t have to die for you to inherit it, why would I have you wait here for so long?”

At this point, Xing Yuhe’s expression grew somber.

”But...” Xing Yushu still wanted to say something.

Xing Yuhe raised his gray eyebrows and said angrily, ”But what? Have you forgotten what I told you before?”

”Yushu dares not forget!” Seeing his grandfather getting angry, Xing Yushu quickly bowed his head and said tremulously.

”As a descendant of the Xing Family, how can you be so muddled? Do you know how many people coveted the opportunity I had, watching with envious eyes, and yet you lose your ambition because of sentimentality?”

Xing Yushu turned pale, his lips tightly shut.

Seeing this, Xing Yuhe changed his tone and said gently, ”You have seen the true form of an Immortal today, and you naturally understand how precious the opportunity to possess such power is. So, don’t say such foolish things again, understand?”

”Yes,” Xing Yushu replied quietly.

At this moment, the crow of a rooster came from outside the window.

Xing Yuhe said indifferently, ”Dawn has broken. Help me up; let’s see how the Talisman Spells on the city walls are holding up!”
