Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 954 Long Eyebrows Slay the Rabbit
With each pounding, the blazing white sword pellet would leap violently within the mortar, bursting forth with an even more flowing and dazzling bluish-white radiance.

The sword intent sparkled everywhere, reflecting off the rabbit's snow-white fur and occasionally tinging it with a translucent turquoise. Its golden eyes shone brightly, as if countless runes were being created and destroyed.

It was pounding with great skill and method, neither too fast nor too slow, with a steady rhythm, as if it were grinding some extraordinary elixir.

But with its still adorable and innocent expression, its long ears trembling with each effort, and its three-lobed mouth moving silently as if counting in hushed tones...

An exquisite ethereal aura and an utterly bewildered and infatuated state were miraculously blended together on this snow-white creature.

This creates a scene atop the cloud-shrouded mountain peak that is both real and illusory, absurd and bizarre, yet inexplicably harmonious.

Xu Feiniang was completely stunned.

Frozen in place, his hand gestures, which had been poised to strike, were still in mid-air, and a bizarre, tingling sensation permeated his entire body from head to toe.

What normal rabbit would dare to play with the Yangpo Sword Pill like that?!
This isn't just audacious, this is downright... treating it like a pestle?!
And what's more! Boss! Rabbit Ancestor! Why didn't you show this arrogant attitude sooner?!

You had to wait until I crept right up to your nose, ready to snatch it, before you suddenly started this "Jade Rabbit Pounding Medicine" performance?!

The aftershocks from each collision between the sword pellet and the jade pestle felt like a gentle massage to the rabbit in the stone mortar; its snow-white fur remained completely undisturbed.

The set of black jade mortar and pestle, which were clearly of extraordinary origin, were easily handled.

Even the ethereal clouds and mist surrounding it remained unaffected, flowing leisurely without any disturbance.

However, to the "outsiders" outside the stone mortar, the aftershocks were no less than two peerless masters exchanging blows face-to-face with all their might!
That invisible and intangible vibration, yet containing the sharpness of the Supreme Yang Sword Soul and some unfathomable lunar divine power, spread out in layers like ripples on water.

"Tsk-!"

The first thing to be affected was Xu Feiniang's prized hidden treasure, the "Heavenly Grandson Brocade".

The brocade that could evade divine thoughts and conceal the traces of immortals could not withstand even a moment of this terrifying shockwave before being torn apart silently.

In an instant, Xu Feiniang's figure was revealed, having stealthily moved to the edge of the stone mortar and was now within arm's reach!

not good!

Xu Feiniang was terrified. In her eyes, she could still see the rabbit holding the jade pestle, looking silly, but its two small, white hind legs were already slightly off the ground.

Charge up!

Flying kick!

shu~~~~
Death! Pure death!

Xu Feiniang screamed almost instinctively, her demonic energy burning wildly within her body, and she unleashed one protective magic weapon after another without regard for the cost!

The Five Escape Divine Stakes were unleashed, but before they could unleash their full power, they shattered like glass in the white afterimage!
Next, the "Asura Net," forged from the evil energy gathered from the earth, was directly shattered into a sky full of black smoke, and the evil energy backfired on itself!

Finally, there was her "Hundred Spirits Immortal-Slaying Sword," which she had nurtured for many years. As soon as the sword was drawn, it let out a mournful cry and was kicked apart piece by piece by the rabbit!
It shattered three powerful treasures in succession and crashed hard into the triple protective magic light she hastily set up!
"puff--!"

Like a heavy hammer smashing an egg, the protective magical light shattered instantly.

"Boom~~~"

She suddenly spat out a mouthful of bright red blood, which even contained fragments of internal organs. Her whole body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, covering a distance of dozens of feet, and crashed heavily into the hard rock wall behind her, leaving a human-shaped crater.

"Cough...cough..."

Embedded in the rubble, Xu Feiniang felt as if her bones were about to burst inch by inch, her meridians were broken, and her demonic energy, cultivated for many years, was scattered and difficult to gather. Her essence, qi, and spirit were like a candle being swept away by a gale, flickering and about to go out.

All that remained in their eyes was boundless horror and disbelief.

Only after she truly experienced the blow herself did she understand why those magical weapons couldn't even withstand a single exchange.

However, the physical pain was far less intense than the overwhelming sense of grievance and indignation welling up inside him.

Last time, it was that unreasonable monk Qingyou, who was domineering and tyrannical, and his Arhat Fist almost shattered her foundation.

This time, it was a seemingly harmless rabbit's flying kick that nearly killed her completely!
why?
Why me again?!
Why does all the bad luck in the world always seem to happen to me, Xu Feiniang?!

Is this my retribution?
Did other villains also die such a miserable death?

Just as Xu Feiniang was trapped deep in the rock wall, filled with grief and indignation, and almost cursing all the gods and Buddhas, another strange event occurred!

The bright moon, its clear light shining everywhere above Mingyue Mountain, was suddenly obscured by a thick, milky-white halo.

An intense sense of death directly reflected in the depths of Xu Feiniang's heart.

She struggled to lift her eyes and look up.

The sky above was now filled with countless dazzling divine swords!

Those flying swords had an ancient and simple design, with pure Taiyi immortal light flowing through their blades. They were also wrapped in thunderous lightning that could extinguish evil and destroy demons, with electric snakes coiling around them and deep, rumbling thunder.

They were not chaotic, but guided by two invisible yet incredibly powerful pivotal forces, they moved and intertwined in an extremely mysterious trajectory, instantly forming a huge sword array network covering the entire main peak of Bright Moon Mountain!
Sword flashes like rain, thunderous roars like a tide, a net spread across the heavens and the earth, sparse yet impenetrable!
"Taiyi Demon Slayer, Thunder and Lightning Summoning, Jade Balance Heavenly Net Qi Sword Formation!"

Xu Feiniang gasped, which aggravated her injuries, causing her to cough up another mouthful of blood. Her eyes were filled with horror and disbelief.

As the junior sister of the Wutai Sect's Hunyuan Ancestor, she had also studied under the righteous master Yuqing in her early years and was very familiar with the many hidden tricks of their arch-rival, the Shushan Sword Sect.

She recognized that sword formation!
It was one of the most commonly used sword formations by the Long-Browed Immortal when he was young, when he roamed the world and swept away demons.

Infamous for its ferocity, it has slaughtered countless demonic giants!

And this outrageously long name is by no means a random collection; each segment represents a part of its terrifying power:

【Taiyi Demon Slayer】—This formation indicates that it is a legitimate lineage of Taiyi, dedicated to slaying all demons and evil spirits, and has a natural and ultimate restraint on other beings and monsters!
[Summoning Thunder and Lightning] – This technique summons the evil-slaying divine thunder under the command of the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Thunder and Lightning, drawing upon the lightning of the nine heavens. Each flying sword is imbued with destructive lightning and electricity, its power terrifying, capable of vanquishing evil! [The Jade Balance of the Dipper] – Originating from the fifth star "Lian Zhen" and the sixth star "Wu Qu" of the Big Dipper, it symbolizes the core mechanism for observing and operating the Heavenly Dao. The trajectory of this array of flying swords subtly corresponds to the movement of the stars in the celestial sphere, mysterious and unpredictable. Furthermore, it can be used to lock onto the aura of demons and evil spirits, leaving them with no way to ascend to heaven or descend to earth!
【天罗纲炁】—meaning to be all-encompassing, covering everything, with all things clearly defined and nowhere to hide!

【Qi】—Most importantly, these countless flying swords are not made of ordinary iron, but are formed from the Taiyi Primordial Qi cultivated by the Long-Browed True Man. They are pure and righteous, overwhelming and unstoppable, and have absolute resistance to the erosion of demonic energy and demonic essence!
However... how could such a massive sword formation, without pre-set array nodes, so accurately locate and instantly cover the entire Bright Moon Mountain?
Xu Feiniang suddenly realized something and looked down with difficulty at her chest, which had almost been shattered by that kick.

Amidst the tattered clothes and bloodied flesh, an extremely intricate mark had been branded on them at some unknown time!

The shape of that mark corresponds exactly to the star map of the Big Dipper!
That's it!

That seemingly foolish kick from the rabbit wasn't just meant to seriously injure her.
"Okay...okay...okay!"

Xu Fei's mother trembled with rage, repeatedly uttering the word "good" three times, each word accompanied by a mouthful of blood, her eyes filled with desperate mockery and fury.

"As expected! Those who cultivate the Path of Heavenly Secrets will eventually become scheming, ruthless demons who will stop at nothing to harm all living beings! Long Eyebrows... is the demon among demons!"

"So... I'm going to die alongside this random rabbit under this old thief's sword formation?"

Xu Feiniang was utterly despondent, believing that she was doomed to perish today.

Consciousness even began to blur, and countless past images seemed to flow before my eyes, as if I had entered the dying revolving lantern phase.

However, just before the evil-slaying sword energy was about to reach her and annihilate her and the medicine-pounding rabbit, in the very last moment...

A warm and vast milky-white radiance suddenly burst forth from the Big Dipper constellation mark on her body, instantly enveloping her completely!

The next moment, the world spun and space distorted.

When she regained her sight, she found herself on a desolate hill dozens of miles away.

The oppressive feeling of the deadly sword intent surrounding him had disappeared, replaced by the coolness of the night breeze.

Standing before her was an old man with long, drooping eyebrows and a solemn expression—it was none other than the Long-Browed Immortal!

In the distance, the direction of the main peak of Mingyue Mountain has been transformed into a devastated ocean.

The immense Taiyi Demon-Slaying Sword Qi intertwined and boiled with blazing lightning, illuminating the sky as if it were daytime. Even from such a distance, the terrifying pressure still chilled people to the bone.

The Long-Browed Immortal gazed silently at the inferno of sword energy, his eyes deep, as if observing and deducing something.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the earth-shattering noise gradually subsided.

The man withdrew his gaze, sighed with a complex emotion that was difficult to describe, and muttered to himself:

"Neither demon nor monster, neither spirit nor monster... I cannot see through its origins."

With a flick of his sleeve, before Fei Niang could react or question him, an irresistible force threw her critically injured and dying body directly into the Haotian Mirror that was floating to the side.

Immediately, he stepped into the ripples spreading across the mirror and disappeared.

After several dizzying spatial shifts, Xu Feiniang found herself transported back to the Little Starry Sea Secret Realm.

With a blank expression, the Long-Browed Immortal flicked out a life-saving elixir brimming with vitality and swallowed it into Xu Feiniang's mouth, stabilizing her on the verge of collapse.

He also casually promised to use materials to repair the damaged Five Escape Divine Stakes, Asura Net, and other magical artifacts for her.

This seemingly compensatory but actually unquestionable gesture temporarily appeased the woman, who was filled with resentment and even contemplated suicide due to a series of setbacks.

After Xu Feiniang left, Master Changmei sat alone, his brows revealing deep doubt and solemnity for the first time.

That rabbit... has seven missing souls and an unusual spirit. It seems foolish, but the power contained within its body is stronger and purer than anyone could imagine.

It also carries a faint, ancient aura that seems otherworldly... What exactly is this thing?
Why are the strange and evil spirits emerging in the world today not only more numerous than when he took charge of Mount Shu and swept across the world, but also more bizarre and troublesome?

If the enemy consists entirely of such incomprehensible beings, then the position of "leader of the righteous path" back then might not be so secure...

After a long silence, a cold calculation and decisiveness flashed in his eyes.

With a raised hand and a hand seal, an extremely subtle and difficult-to-track divine thought message, carrying fragmented information about the strange rabbit of Bright Moon Mountain and the Seven Yang Soul Sword Pill being "crushed," silently traversed thousands of mountains and rivers to reach [the destination].
Baoantang Jiujiang Branch.

Let those unconventional, eccentric guys in Jiangnan have their headaches.

The world has finally become something that even he can no longer understand.

After doing all this, he once again activated the Haotian Mirror with all his might. The mirror shone with an eerie light as he frantically deduced the whereabouts of another crucial divine weapon.

"The Centipede Sword... must be obtained immediately!"

An overwhelming premonition resonated within him: if he couldn't gather these crucial items quickly and initiate the battle for destiny, he feared... the coveted ascension would only grow ever more distant.

"The North?"

"Then I'll take action myself!"

A moment later, the figure of the Long-Browed Immortal had disappeared from the Little Starry Sea.

The righteous leader who once slayed all demons with his sword has also set foot on the northern lands.

The aura of impending doom surged and filled the sky, and the thunder of early spring roared wildly.

Xu Xuan looked up at the sky.

"The North is really too chaotic."
