Demon Sword Immortal

Bai Xiang's eyelashes trembled slightly: "What happened to Wang Shou afterward?"

"The outcome?" The boy laughed, revealing two sharp fangs. "His two daughters, his wife, and his most beloved elderly mother were all disemboweled and eaten right in front of him..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Dingbo Sword came slashing down vertically. The boy let out a howl like a cat, "Wah~~~woo!" and nimbly dodged the attack.

"Hey! You're so easily amused!" After regaining his balance, he flashed that bright smile again. "I really want to recruit you, sister! Because your eyes are so beautiful, just like mine!"

"what……"

He frowned slightly, noticing that the white-haired girl standing opposite him was making a strange gesture with her hands.

Besides that annoying iron sword, she was also holding another three-foot wooden sword, and... she was slowly pulling the sword back.

I shouldn't have been scanned...

Just as he was wondering what was going on, Yang Xing felt a dampness on his side.

Looking down, I saw clear water flowing gently from the white kettle—a hole had been punched in the kettle from the outside by a hard object.

"Ah... your goal is 'divine separation'..."

Yang Xing smiled and looked up, "What a clever and cunning beautiful older sister..."

"You've left me with no way to complete my task!!!"

"Wow~~~~Ooh!!!"

With another roar, Yang Xing's body suddenly swelled up, his black hair spreading to his tailbone, his eyes bulging out like mosquitoes, his mouth extending to the front of his ear, and his mouth full of sharp teeth... In an instant, he transformed into a ferocious beast covered in black fur!

"Roar!!!" The monster stomped on the ground, causing bricks and stones to shatter, and pounced towards Bai Xiangfei at a speed that was obviously faster than the humanoid!

Bai Xiang held his breath, dodged the first attack by turning to the side, and issued a command through mental control. The muscles around his eyes tensed instantly, barely managing to catch the afterimage of the monster, and he reached out to hand over the sword.

It is 'passing', not any other action.

She understood clearly that she couldn't fight the monster with her own strength. The only way was to use the monster's speed and threaten it with her sword to force it to dodge the sharpness of the blade.

"Roar!!!"

Each time it leaped forward, it found the sword's edge subtly aimed at its brow. The beast roared in anger, leaped again, and slapped at the sharp blade with its claws.

Unexpectedly, Bai Xiang neither dodged nor evaded, but instead instantly closed in. His left hand gripped the middle of the wooden sword, diagonally bracing it against the incoming fleshy pad, while his right hand swung the sword forward in a thrust, the blade aimed directly at the monster's right eye.

Doesn't she value her life?

The monster was filled with shock and confusion.

That way, at most she'll blind one of my eyes, but I'll bite off her entire upper body!

Despite its desire, the beast was unwilling to make such an exchange. It immediately abandoned its stance and swung aside, risking a gash in its abdomen from the Dingbo Sword, to evade Bai Xiang's pursuing dagger.

"What a quick response!"

After landing, the monster spoke in human language, but its voice was much lower than that of a human.

"Even those at the peak of spiritual cultivation might not have such a reaction, but your power is clearly too weak..."

"That's strange, who exactly are you?"

Bai Xiang was slightly out of breath and did not intend to answer the other party.

Suddenly, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.

He lowered his head; he was still wearing his black stab-proof vest, along with matching black pants and white shoes.

But her socks disappeared.

It's as if she wasn't wearing socks at all... and the two swords in her hands, at some point, only the 'Dingbo' sword in her right hand remained?

Turning around abruptly, she saw another version of herself—another version of herself wearing a white hoodie, black leggings, and only socks on her feet, standing behind her, holding a wooden sword, with a blank look in her eyes, like a puppet that had lost its soul.

A demon pool?

Bai Xiang looked down and saw a white water jug ​​lying at the feet of the 'doll'. Judging from the scene, some of the remaining poisonous water had been spilled on the 'doll'.

"Hahaha!"

The monster let out a sharp laugh.

"You schemed against 'Shen Li'! I'll make sure you die by 'Shen Li'!"

"It's just a pity about those beautiful eyes..."

"Perhaps I should dig it up before you dissolve? Both as my private collection and to appease them..."

However, I don't feel like I'm dead.

When his soul left his body, Bai Xiang entered a strange state.

"Bai Xiang? How are you feeling today?"

"Bai Xiang, you managed to hold on today..."

"Bai Xiang, are you really crazy? Logically speaking, you shouldn't be able to feel your hands and feet anymore, but you can still force yourself to get out of bed?"

“Your situation is not simple... Although you explained how you conducted that kind of meditation training, other patients simply cannot do it.”

"How about this: you assist the hospital with your observation and treatment, and we can discuss the subsequent costs?"

Time seemed to slow down dramatically at that moment, and memories of the past, of her previous lives, surfaced in her mind, flashing by like a revolving lantern.

Witnessing the familiar scene and seeing the attending physician's surprised expression, Bai tried to savor the experience, and could still clearly feel the close connection between himself and his physical body.

It turns out that those following years were indeed a medical miracle.

That body was already ruined.

The reason it appears to be barely able to move is entirely due to my 'thought'...

Ignoring the 'soul split', the demonic beast leisurely walked to the 'puppet', leaned closer to its head, and wanted to carefully admire the pair of golden eyes.

Just then! It suddenly felt a deadly warning!

It tried to retreat! It wanted to dodge! But the sword was faster than it! The 'puppet' suddenly pulled the Dingbo Sword out of the void, raised its arm, and thrust the short sword straight into its mouth!

"Pfft!"

The sharp tip pierced through the monster's head, stopping all its reactions.

tick tock...tick tock...

Scalding beast blood mixed with brain matter and Bai Xiang's own blood flowed down her arm.

She used too much force, and the monster's teeth tore through her stab-proof clothing, leaving a bloody gash on her right arm.

But she showed no sign of pain, and a rare ripple appeared in her eerie yellow eyes.

"The tide comes in on the Qiantang River, and only today do I realize who I am."

"Ah……"

"I see."

Chapter Sixteen: Opening Up a New Landscape

Accompanied by the screeching sound of brakes, Tao Shuohua, dressed in a black antique-style outfit and carrying a long, narrow wooden box on his back, hurriedly strode towards the gate of No. 1 Middle School, ignoring the fact that the rain had not yet stopped outside.

The main gate was already cordoned off with a long police tape, and there were also inspectors patrolling and guarding the perimeter. When they saw her coming, they all put their hands on their waists, and several of them stepped forward as if to question her.

"Get out of the way!" Tao Shuohua was too lazy to waste time with these people, so he held out a token.

The token is bronze in color, with a raised lion pattern carved in the center. There are openwork holes of different shapes in the four directions of the pattern, and a bluish-white jade plate can be seen inlaid inside the holes.

Upon seeing the token, the inspector's expression changed—a bronze lion inlaid with jade on all four sides; the visitor was actually from the prefectural government.

They immediately dared not continue to obstruct him and obediently let Tao Shuohua in.

Tao Shuohua's expression remained unchanged, and even her sword could sense her anxiety, vibrating incessantly in its sheath.

"What bad luck... How could the news have leaked???"

As Tao Shuohua ventured deeper into the campus of No. 1 Middle School, he gritted his teeth in resentment.

"You shouldn't have listened to me! You just left me gone once and this happened!!!"

As night deepened and the teaching buildings blocked out the outside lights, most of the campus was pitch black.

Tao Shuohua was genuinely guilty. She touched her lips and then her stomach, as if she could still taste the chewy texture and flavor of the spicy baby octopus from the roadside stall on the pedestrian street.

But in the blink of an eye, all of that vanished, replaced by a stern-faced middle-aged man, his fierce gaze intimidating.

"I hope everything's alright... I hope everything's alright..."

Muttering prayers and chanting, Tao Shuohua reached for the brightest spot on campus, only to be stopped outside the cordon.

"This is a matter for the prefectural government!" Tao Shuohua showed his token again. "Get out of the way!"

But this inspection seems a little different.

They appeared to be taller and each possessed a unique aura. They remained unmoved even when threatened, merely staring at her with cold eyes.

Tao Shuohua was almost ready to open the scabbard and draw his sword when he heard a cold male voice coming from in front of him.

"Isn't this Tao's doing?"

The crowd parted, revealing Zhang Longze and other division commanders and officers standing at the front, and a middle-aged man in a clean white long gown surrounded by them—the question came from his mouth.

“Zhang Daoming…” Tao Shuohua squinted at the fair-skinned middle-aged man, “You’re here just in time! I’d like to ask you, where is my young lady now? What’s her condition?”

“Tao has acted foolishly.” The fair-skinned middle-aged man—that is, Zhang Daoming—sneered. “Since Lord Fang sent you to protect the noble lady, then this question should be asked of you.”

"Look at this~" He turned to Zhang Longze and the others, patting his sleeves, looking quite helpless.

"I didn't even know that Tao was involved with the Crimson Dragon. How could I dare say that I know whether Lady Fang is alive or dead...?"

"Zhang Daoming!" Tao Shuohua was struck on his most sensitive and fearful point, and immediately flew into a rage without saying a word.

With a crash, the wooden box she was carrying shattered into pieces, and a fine iron longsword that gleamed with red light flew out and was grasped by her.

"Be bold!"

The black-clad inspectors roared in unison, some pulling out their electric maces, others raising their guns, all aiming their weapons at Tao Shuohua, and the atmosphere became tense.

chi chi chi...

Tao Shuohua raised his sword, its narrow blade pointing at Zhang Daoming. A faint red flame could be seen emanating from the outer edge of the blade, and the flame continued to grow and expand, like a ball of pink energy enveloping the sword and outlining the shape of a tree branch.

The raindrops that had previously landed steadily on Tao Shuohua now began to evaporate just a fraction of an inch away from her, creating a misty haze around her.

"OK OK……"

Along with the sound, another group of people walked out from behind Tao Shuohua. The leader was an elderly man with white hair, who tried to smooth things over, with a dark-faced, burly man in a suit standing next to him.

"We're all here for the same purpose. Nobody wants anything to happen to the young lady. Look at this... why let the servants laugh at us?"

"Xu Shouwang".

Tao Shuohua still respected the old man. Seeing the formation behind him, he sheathed his longsword and removed the pink strange phenomenon from the blade.

"And Captain Huang." He nodded again to the burly man with the dark face, who nodded back in return.

Now everyone's here...

Tao Shuohua didn't show it on his face, but he was actually feeling bitter inside.

The white-haired old man was named Xu Zhe. He was the "Guardian" of the Chilong Road, the highest-ranking official in charge of the road city and its subordinate villages and towns.

The burly man next to him was named Huang Qian, a "Captain" of the Red Dragon Army, the highest-ranking military officer in the Red Dragon region.

With the addition of the "Supervisor" of the Inspection Department and "Zhang Daoming," almost the entire core power circle of the Red Dragon Path was present. One can imagine how quickly the news spread and how great the reaction was.

Lord Xu arrived only a minute or two later than me...

The thought of this made Tao Shuohua break out in a cold sweat. She dared not imagine what might have happened to Fang Wenya, and what if her master blamed her for saying she was eating baby octopus on the pedestrian street at the time…

Holy crap, am I even going to keep my head?

Fang Xiaochun didn't care who let her go out to play. Tao Shuohua's heart sank, and she couldn't stand standing there waiting like an idiot any longer.

She didn't understand—what did it mean that so many people were blocking the building downstairs?

Why don't you go in?

Go rescue them!

"Officer Tao," Zhang Daoming said softly, noticing her agitation, "it's not appropriate to tease her any further. Calm your mind... Haven't you noticed that the demonic energy has dissipated?"
