Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1372: Chapter 1369: Sea of Swords Like Dragons – Retribution is Imminent (Third Update)

A single word, and the sword light fell like rivers cascading down from the sky.

As far as the eye could see, countless members of the Ghost Race were instantly pierced through by the sword light, without even a chance to scream, turning into nothingness.

Not only the Ghost Race, but many from the Human Clan who aided and abetted them also fell under the sword light at the same time.

Song Jingyue stared blankly, seeing the sword light whiz past her, not harming her in the slightest.

As she was overwhelmed by shock, a scream snapped her back to reality. Turning around, she saw her unfortunate senior brother Leng Boceng had been pierced through the heart by a sword, dying an unnatural death.

The body fell to the ground, blood gushing out like a river.

The entire Destiny City, and even the entire Destiny Plane, lost more than half of its population in an instant, both of the Ghost Race and Human Clan.

Meanwhile, in a small town thousands of miles away from Destiny City, Jin Jue was sitting in a tea stall, sipping tea, while the tea vendor had long since fled in terror.

For behind Jin Jue stood a Ghost Race youth with a respectful demeanor.

This ghostly youth looked merely like a teenager yet lacked the arrogance and viciousness typical of the Ghost Race.

Even so, he still scared the tea stall vendor away.

The ghostly youth seemed somewhat pained, ”Master! Do we of the Ghost Race invite such hatred normally?”

Jin Jue nodded, continuing to leisurely eat his dry biscuit.

The ghostly youth sighed lightly, ”I am aware of the heavy sins I bear. Fortunately, I met you, Master, otherwise my life might have been spent in bewilderment.”

Jin Jue chuckled.

But at that moment, the anomalies in the sky caught the ghostly youth’s attention.

When he saw it was countless sword lights and noticed the flames burning atop them, he shuddered violently, exclaiming, ”Master! Look!”

Jin Jue naturally sensed it too. As he looked up, his clear eyes flashed with astonishment but quickly lowered again as he softly spoke.

”Pay them no mind. Do you still remember the Repentance Mantra I taught you?”

”I remember!”

”Recite it!”

”Yes... yes!”

Despite his fear, the ghostly youth closed his eyes and began reciting the mantra quietly.

Meanwhile, the vast sword lights were pouring down, sweeping through everything in an instant.

When the sword lights reached the tea stall, they nearly all aimed at the ghostly youth.

But as they drew near, they suddenly halted, then began to spin slowly.

The ghostly youth kept his eyes shut, continuously chanting the mantra.

The sword lights gradually softened and eventually pulled back slowly.

Surprisingly, as the sword lights passed by Jin Jue, they all slightly bent, like a nod of recognition, before dissipating.

Jin Jue was slightly taken aback, then started laughing.

Once the threat of the sword lights vanished, the ghostly youth finally opened his eyes, still filled with dread.

”Mas... Master, what was that just now?”

Jin Jue gazed at the dragon-like sea of swords fading into the distance, his eyes showing a complicated glint, and finally said softly, ”That is retribution!”

”Retribution....” the ghostly youth murmured softly, eyes filled with an increasingly pure faithful devotion.

”Master, my Ghost Race has committed grave sins, and such catastrophe is deserved. I am willing to repent for my entire race in the future!”

”Blessed be!” Jin Jue nodded then stood up, leaving a Silver Coin behind.

”Let’s go!”

A man and a ghost disappeared on the official road.

High above Destiny City, Wen Muling widened her eyes in disbelief, watching everything unfold before her.

This scene had undoubtedly exceeded her comprehension.

Other than the Nether Monarch of bygone days, she had never seen a being as powerful as Xue An.

As for the multitudes beneath the sword lights, they were as silent as cicadas in winter, almost unable to stand.

Finally.

After being thoroughly cleansed, the sword light gradually dissipated, revealing the scene below.

Countless bodies vanished into nothingness, leaving only a small fraction standing, their faces pale and bodies trembling like sieves.

Xue An said mildly, ”How do you find it now?”

Wen Muling flinched slightly, finally recovering from her fright. After taking a deep breath, she spoke slowly.

”The young master’s divine might is awe-inspiring, but I cannot alter my oath!”

Xue An smiled, and the black Jade Decree appeared in his hand once more, as he weighed it gently, saying indifferently, ”It is quite fortunate for him to have loyal subordinates like you!”

Wen Muling suddenly looked up, gazing at Xue An in shock, her voice even trembling, ”Young master... what... what did you say?”

Xue An chuckled, ”I said it’s his good fortune to have subordinates like you.”

With that, Xue An toyed with the Jade Decree in his hand, gazing towards the distant towering Iron Net Mountain, and quietly spoke.

”It’s surprising that among his Shadow Guards, some managed to survive.”

Wen Muling’s cheeks flushed with excitement, her voice strained, ”Y... Young master, who are you really?”

”Who am I?”

Xue An smiled, then turned his head to look deeply at Wen Muling, a pure white flame suddenly appearing between his brows.

Seeing the flame, Wen Muling looked as though struck by lightning, her entire body trembling violently, even her eyes growing vacant.

”Now, do you know who I am?” Xue An retracted the flame, speaking calmly.

Wen Muling finally awakened from her astonishment, then without hesitation, knelt to the ground, trying to speak but overcome with sobs, could only choke out.

”Wen Muling of the Shadow Guards, subordinate of the Nether Monarch, greets the Ghost Venerable!”

Indeed!

In those days, Xue An was a dominant force in the Ghost Realm, famously known as the Divine Fire Ghost Venerable, even regarded on par with the former Nether Monarch.

But this wasn’t why Wen Muling showed such deep respect, even kneeling without hesitation.

The real reason was that Wen Muling had heard from the Nether Monarch himself about his close bond with the Divine Fire Ghost Venerable, who was almost a confidant.

Which was true indeed.

At that time, the Divine Fire Ghost Venerable and the Nether Monarch together performed many earth-shattering feats, even suppressing all the noble forces within the depths of the Ghost Realm and the Central Ghost Realm, not daring to resist even slightly.

Back then, Wen Muling was just a nondescript little girl among the Shadow Guards, and had only seen the Nether Monarch from afar, yet her admiration for the Nether Monarch and Xue An was undeterred.

But then, everything changed.

First, the Divine Fire Ghost Venerable suddenly vanished, prompting the Nether Monarch to search the entire Ghost Realm to no avail, which left him desolate enough to retreat in seclusion for ten years.

The upheaval began around that time as well.

What followed were a series of shocking events, which were so intricate that even Wen Muling only knew bits and pieces.

All she knew for sure was that all the Shadow Guards and the dependents of the Nether Monarch were annihilated, and the Nether Monarch himself vanished without a trace.
