Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1260: Chapter 1257: Those Who Face Battle All Arrange Themselves at the Forefront (3rd Update)

Everything was progressing well, so why did such an incident suddenly occur?

”Did you hear that? No matter what happens, don’t look back! Always remember, you are a descendant of the Xing Family!” Xing Yuhe said in a soft voice, his expression surprisingly relaxed.

Xing Yushu’s heart tightened into a knot, staring blankly at Xing Yuhe, then nodded slowly.

At this moment, Baili Shaoguang, after hearing the words of the Demon Ghost King, was overjoyed and bent over repeatedly in thanks, ”Thank you, great Ghost King, what I want is the opportunity on this old fellow!”

”Opportunity? Heh heh!” The Demon Ghost King cackled a few times, then lowered its head to look at Baili Shaoguang.

”It’s not difficult for me to kill her for you, but how will you repay me?”

A stiff smile appeared on Baili Shaoguang’s face, ”You mean....”

”After the deed is done, accompany me for ten days, then I will let you go. How about it?”

Panic and anger flashed in Baili Shaoguang’s eyes, but soon after, she weighed the pros and cons in her heart and then deeply bowed her head.

”I will follow all of the Ghost King’s commands!”

”Hahahaha! Good! Then I’ll help you with this favor!” The Demon Ghost King roared with laughter. After that, it raised its head to look at Xing Yuhe, and then said with a playful tone.

”Old fellow, I’m going to ask you again now, do you know why I want to kill you?”

Xing Yuhe remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, ”Is it because of the green-faced Demon Ghost from two days ago?”

The Demon Ghost King smiled brightly, ”That fool’s death means nothing, why would I personally make a trip? I just want to ask you one question, who killed my concubine back then?”

Xing Yuhe’s body shook, he suddenly understood what was going on, then said with a bitter smile, ”Is the great Ghost King referring to the True Immortal level female ghost that appeared outside Demon-Sealing Town that day?”

”Of course!”

Xing Yuhe shook his head and solemnly said, ”Great Ghost King, I must report that neither your concubine nor that Demon Ghost were killed by the people of Demon-Sealing Town!”

”Heh heh, keep talking!” The Demon Ghost King snorted coldly with laughter.

”Believe me or not! Neither of these Demon Ghosts were killed by me, they must have been slain by some passing powerhouse!”

”Passing powerhouse?” The Demon Ghost King laughed loudly, ”Old man, are you still trying to fool me at this point? In my territory, I’m aware even if a mosquito flies past, yet there have been absolutely no powerhouses passing by these past few days!”

Xing Yuhe’s complexion greatly changed, saying in shock, ”How is this possible? Then how did these two Demon Ghosts die?”

”That’s what I’d like to ask you! Old man, you’re on the verge of death, do you still want to argue?” The Demon Ghost King roared in anger, and its vines, like a startled nest of snakes, began to thrash wildly.

Xing Yuhe’s expression changed unpredictably, and he shouted out in alarm, ”Great Ghost King, there must be some misunderstanding here, listen to me explain?”

”Explanations? An explanation means today, you and everyone else in this little Demon-Sealing Town are going to die!”

As the words fell, the vines swarmed out, heading straight for Xing Yuhe in a sky-covering torrent.

Xing Yuhe felt there was something extremely important he had overlooked, but in the urgent situation, he had no time to think further, and could only raise his hand to swiftly draw a Talisman Spell in the air.

”A world in disarray, as wild fields spread! Extinguish!”

Boom!

A burst of golden light flourished, instantly turning the oncoming sea of vines into ashes.

The Demon Ghost King grunted, evidently having sustained a slight injury.

But after releasing this powerful strike, Xing Yuhe’s face began to lose color at a visible rate, wrinkles appeared on his once smooth forehead, and his jet-black hair turned white in an instant.

This scene dumbfounded everyone.

Baili Shaoguang’s entire body shook as she let out a loud cry, ”He was indeed overexerting himself!”

Her voice was filled with disappointment.

In fact, from the beginning, she had doubts about Xing Yuhe’s condition.

If he truly was that strong, he would never have let the three of them leave.

But because of the Elixir that Xing Yuhe had consumed, which was incredibly against the natural order, he managed to deceive all three of them and withstood two consecutive powerful attacks without falling back.

This had caused Baili Shaoguang’s confidence to waver, eventually preparing to leave.

The appearance of the Tree Demon Ghost King presented her with a glimmer of hope; that’s why she pleaded with the king to help her seize the opportunity.

For this, she had paid an extremely high price.

After all, spending ten days with the Tree Demon Ghost King would not leave her with any pleasant memories.

Yet, she never imagined that after just one move, Xing Yuhe would reveal his true state.

How could this not make Baili Shaoguang feel annoyed and regretful?

However, hearing this, the Tree Demon Ghost King burst into loud laughter, ”Of course he’s pushing himself too hard. Otherwise, do you think I would really be willing to come and measure up against him?”

When Xing Yuhe first arrived at Demon-Sealing Town, his strength had not yet waned.

Although he was far from matching the Tree Demon Ghost King, due to the suppression of his special arts, the tree spirit allowed him to be, unwilling to start a conflict again.

Until now, when his own concubine actually died right in front of Demon-Sealing Town, the Tree Demon Ghost King would not believe it had nothing to do with Xing Yuhe.

And his perception was much stronger than Baili Shaoguang’s; he realized at a glance that Xing Yuhe was merely overexerting himself with the help of a Secret Technique, so he decided to take advantage of the situation, not only killing his enemy but also taking back a beauty to entertain himself for a few days.

Indeed, none of these strong ghost kings who could guard a territory was easy to deal with!

This thought flashed through Zeng Jialiang and Jin Haorang’s minds, and they couldn’t help but sigh.

Meanwhile.

The Tree Demon Ghost King cackled eerily: ”Xing Yuhe, I shall send you on your way now!”

With those words, the ground’s giant trees suddenly began to morph, transforming into armored Demon Ghost warriors, then charging towards Xing Yuhe.

At this moment, Xing Yuhe’s momentum had plummeted to rock bottom, his body trembling like a sieve, as if a gust of wind could blow him over, but his eyes still shone brightly, filled with a resolute determination.

Then he slowly raised his emaciated hands, and once again began to form seals in front of his chest.

”Lín! Bīng! Dòu! Zhě! Jiē! Zhèn! Liè! Yú! Qián!” (Array! Soldiers! Fight! They! All! Formations! Line! Up! Before! Me!)

With each seal he formed, a bit more vitality faded from Xing Yuhe’s eyes.

When the nine words were all spoken, Xing Yuhe’s eyes were dim and lifeless, but between his palms, a strand of Taoist luminescence too dazzling to face was conceived.

Seeing this, even the Tree Demon Ghost King couldn’t help but flash a hint of panic in his eyes, then he bellowed in frustration and rage, ”You’re really willing to burn your divine soul! Xing Yuhe, have you gone mad?”

Xing Yuhe showed a hint of relief in his smile, then softly said, ”Yushu, run!”

After that, Xing Yuhe charged headlong into the oncoming torrent of Demon Ghosts without looking back.
