Translator: 549690339
Seemingly human yet not, a demon but not quite.
Indeed, it’s somewhat interesting.
Xue An quietly watched.
Takeuchi Kiyoko, along with the people from Orochi Shrine who had followed her, stopped on the other side of the mountaintop, after which Takeuchi Kiyoko began to close her eyes and nurture her spirit.
The people from Huaxia were quietly discussing among themselves.
A hint of a smug smile appeared on the corner of Chi Chongshan’s mouth.
Last night, he had secretly made contact with these people from Country R.
As long as General Lin died today, the future Zhongdu would belong to the Chi Family.
The An Family held similar ambitions.
However, they decided to quietly wait and see, knowing that it wouldn’t be too late to turn their coats at the last moment.
The sun gradually ascended above everyone’s heads.
The sunlight was fierce, making people dizzy and blurred their vision.
Suddenly.
Takeuchi Kiyoko opened her eyes and spoke in the ancient tongue of Huaxia, “They’re here!”
Then they saw someone rushing up the mountain like they were flying.
In the blink of an eye, they had reached the mountaintop, causing a stir among the crowd.
“It’s General Lin!”
“General Lin has arrived!”
General Lin stood on the mountaintop, nodded politely to the crowd, and then turned to look at Takeuchi Kiyoko opposite him.
“I didn’t expect the new Ghost God’s Slash to be a woman!”
Upon Takeuchi Kiyoko’s originally graceful face, a sinister smile suddenly appeared, “General Lin! Ten years ago, you cut me down with your sword, today, I shall avenge that sword blow!”
General Lin’s eyes turned cold.
He knew that Ghost God’s Slash of Country R was a sort of legacy-like existence.
But he had not expected that even memories could be inherited.
“I could kill you ten years ago, and it is all the same ten years later!” With these words, General Lin suddenly drew his sword from its sheath.
Sword Qi filled the sky, forcing the onlooking crowd to retreat more than a hundred meters further back, barely standing on the mid-slope of the mountain.
At this moment, Wei Rulan shook her head and sighed softly, “The general’s battle seems even more worrisome now, drawing his sword first to seize the initiative, yet not realizing that he has already revealed his sharpness!”
Xue An, who was standing by, smiled slightly after hearing this, “It seems you don’t hold much hope for General Lin in this battle?”
Wei Rulan snorted coldly, “That’s right, in my view, General Lin is bound to lose, so announcing the Heavenly Pact in advance is an utterly foolish act.”
“Rulan, hold your tongue!” frowned Wei Ruyan as she rebuked in a low voice.
“Isn’t it the truth? If you don’t believe it, just wait and see the outcome!” Wei Rulan said, coldly laughing as she looked towards the center of the field.
At this moment, General Lin, sword in hand, began to climb in momentum, and in an instant, he broke through the Loose Immortal Realm, reaching a profound realm.
All the onlooking martial artists changed color in unison.
“It’s immortality!”
“The general is indeed mighty!”
General Lin said indifferently, “This sword is named Flowing Light, left by an Immortal of Huaxia; today, with this sword in hand, I shall cut you down on Mingfeng Mountain!”
Takeuchi Kiyoko let out a strange cackle, then her kimono began to billow without any wind, and her pupils gradually turned black.
A blackness that chilled the onlooker’s spines.
“Good! Once I kill you, the vast Huaxia will no longer have its Immortal, and then I can gallop unopposed!”
With Takeuchi Kiyoko’s emotionless voice, her aura suddenly exploded.
Everyone’s faces changed color in unison!
“It’s immortality! No! It looks even a step beyond immortality!”
General Lin’s expression turned grave, and the sword in his hand suddenly transformed into a stunning arc, speeding straight toward Takeuchi Kiyoko!
“Flying Sword beheads thee!” General Lin shouted coldly.
The sword soared even faster, instantly disappearing from view.
Yet, as fast as the sword was, Takeuchi Kiyoko stretched out her hand and caught it between two fingers.
The massive Sword Intent directly destroyed a vast expanse of forest behind Takeuchi Kiyoko, but it did not harm a single hair on Kiyoko!
“Such a swift sword, but still not swift enough!” Takeuchi Kiyoko said with a grin.
When she smiled, the corner of her mouth stretched all the way to the back of her ear, her expression filled with evil and chilliness.
General Lin, however, didn’t even pause, and with another wave of his hand, he said in a deep voice, “Human follows Earth!”
Boom!
The Flowing Light Sword suddenly became as heavy as a thousand jun, and Takeuchi Kiyoko’s delicate fingers were instantly severed by it.
At the same time, the sword’s momentum was like a mountain, sending Takeuchi Kiyoko flying back over a dozen steps!
A low murmur of surprise came from the crowd.
Many faces showed smiles.
But Takeuchi Kiyoko slowly got up from the ground, her body clearly marked with scorch marks from the sword’s energy, yet her face still bore a cold smile.
“Come again!”
The voice echoed far and wide.
Many people’s expressions started to turn grave.
But General Lin’s demeanor remained indifferent, as if everything that had just happened never occurred, and he lightly said, “Earth follows Heaven!”
The light burst forth, transforming into countless sword beams that immediately enveloped the area within a dozen meters around Takeuchi Kiyoko.
“It’s the Three Laws Sword!” Wei Rulan said with a glint in her eye, speaking softly.
And Takeuchi Kiyoko, facing this irresistible sword, still maintained her smile unchanged.
“Is this the extent of your ability? General Lin, your cultivation level seems to have regressed over the past ten years!”
Having said that, Takeuchi Kiyoko stepped forward, using her hand as a blade, and struck down with a thunderous chop.
Boom!
This slash was like a mountain of blades, scattering all the sword beams.
The Flowing Light Sword let out a mournful cry as it too was sent flying.
All the onlookers couldn’t help but be greatly shocked.
Especially the people from Huaxia, whose eyes flashed with an astonished gleam.
Could the current Ghost God’s Slash from Country R be this formidable?
But at this moment, General Lin lowered his gaze and said softly, “Heaven follows the Way!”
This was one of the strongest moves of the Three Laws Sword.
The light vanished.
General Lin now had no sword in his hands!
But within the space of a hundred meters, suddenly everywhere there were swords!
Sword Qi crisscrossed, Sword Intent was abundant.
Within these hundred meters, General Lin had turned it into his own realm.
A look of seriousness finally flashed across Takeuchi Kiyoko’s face, yet she still stood nonchalantly.
“Heh, now that looks a bit more like it!”
Suddenly, a sword pierced out from right in front of Takeuchi Kiyoko’s chest.
The crowd let out a collective gasp of surprise, and the people from Huaxia breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking that the general was still formidable, he had finally defeated this half-human, half-demon creature.
Only a few people like Wei Rulan’s expressions grew even more solemn.
Just then, Takeuchi Kiyoko looked down at the sword in her chest, shook her head with a light chuckle, “To think you could cause me a trace of pain, you should be proud of yourself!”
With that, Takeuchi Kiyoko grasped the sword blade and slowly pulled the sword out from her chest!
What was eerie was that not a single drop of blood flowed out.
And Takeuchi Kiyoko sneered, “General Lin, when I first came to this world ten years ago, I was injured by you because the flesh I inhabited was too frail, forcing me to leave. Now, this body perfectly fits my Demon God’s form. Do you really think you can still win against me with these worldly techniques?”
This statement made all the people of Huaxia pale.
Only General Lin slowly lowered his head.
While many were filled with doubt, suddenly someone exclaimed, “The general… he…”
Suddenly, General Lin’s hair turned white in an instant, his figure gradually became stooped, and his skin aged rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, he had become an old man with gray hair.
And at the same time, General Lin said softly, “The Way… follows nature.”
