Chapter 431: 431, [The Road has Gone Awry Again]
The phantom in the sky disappeared like this, with the darkness enveloping this place torn apart from the middle first, and then instantly shattered!

The narrow eyes in the sky descended with a domineering gaze, and under this one sword, they couldn’t hold on for even a second.

Perhaps he is indeed a high-ranking being, perhaps he is indeed abnormally powerful. But the phantom is ultimately a phantom, and the gentleman only needs to write a single character to easily break it open.

After breaking the virtual shadow, the character [Sword] on the sword body of [Sound of Slow Motion] began to fade.

It was already emitting golden sparks, and now it had dispersed into a sky full of golden specks.

The darkness was torn apart, and the golden specks accompanied the radiant sunlight pouring in, bringing a wave of warmth.

The previous feelings of coldness, discomfort, and fear were all gone, replaced by a perfectly pleasant sense of comfort.

Lu Xun watched the scene before him, yelled out in his heart just like the players:

“Holy shit!”

This force, which had put even the second senior sister under tremendous pressure, was so easily dissolved by the gentleman like this?

You should know, the second senior sister is at the peak of the eighth realm!

It stands to reason, this phantom should also have at least the strength of the ninth realm!

What about the gentleman’s realm…

It’s unimaginable!

Speaking of which, ever since Lu Xun joined the back mountain for this period of time, he hadn’t really seen the gentleman take action.

Normally it would be on New Year’s Eve, he would write a big Chinese character [Ugly] and put it in a red envelope and give it to Lu Xun which caused him to endure a night of sleeplessness and being bombarded by countless copies of the word “Ugly”.

However, if you think about it, although this experience seems a bit miserable, it also means the gentleman used a single character to increase Lu Xun’s Array Path strength!

And now, likewise using only a single character, he brought light back to this area!

This kind of method was truly astonishing!

After breaking this phantom, [Sound of Slow Motion] had turned around in mid-air and flew back into the second senior sister’s hand.

The Second Priest who had looked like a puppet on a string earlier suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The most disturbing part was that his blood had previously been dark red, but this time it was black.

And upon spitting it out, it turned into a hideous black smoke and dissipated into the air.

The horizontal eye on the forehead of the Second Priest shattered at this moment, leaving only a black bloodstain on his forehead, emitting a black smoke.

-He’s starting to smoke.

The current state of the Second Priest seems to be beyond just disgraceful.

He seemed rather miserable.

With both arms broken, vomiting black blood, his forehead wounded with blood, his eyes looked like he had become partially blind.

Not to mention the torment he had just gone through.

But Lu Xun noticed that there was still a percentage value above his head.

However, with the disappearance of the phantom in the sky, this value turned from 59% to 11%.

Clearly, there was still a small amount of the phantom’s power remaining in him.

Lu Xun was about to speak, but he saw the second senior sister silently looking at the Second Priest, seemingly aware of this.

A Great Cultivator at the peak of the eighth realm has an extremely terrifying Divine Sense perception.

Of course, the second senior sister remains as calm as always.

Although there was still a residue of energy in the Second Priest, he was also suffering from its backlash.

— It hurts and is getting stronger!

He seemed to have become a bit delirious, like a wild beast charging at Lu Xun and the others.

An endless amount of black energy produced around his body, forming a hideous ghost mask.

This ghost face kept changing shape, expanding and contracting. Sometimes it bulged out, sometimes it receded in.

It was somewhat similar to a ghost, but essentially different.

After the ghost face swept over, the Second Priest spit out several characters, and dark red flames began to ignite around the ghost face.

It looked quite imposing.

The second senior sister raised the wooden sword, held it flat, and then said in her calm and cold voice: “Go.”

Upon hearing this, the first thought that came to Lu Xun’s mind was: “Indeed! If you only say one word, you won’t stammer!”

The wooden sword was thrown out and pierced directly through the ghost face.

A massive hole appeared at the center, looking like it had been blasted open.

After piercing through the ghost face, the wooden sword lightly slashed at the Second Priest’s neck.

A line of blood emerged.

One hit, one kill!

Looking at the way he died, it was quite similar to the way Lu Xun killed Yi Xuan, both were beheaded by a sword.

It’s hard to tell whether the second senior sister did this intentionally or it just happened to be similar.

From that moment, the plot of the entire world drastically diverted from its original course.

By right, the Second Priest was one of the critical figures of the foreign race. Before Lu Xun’s transmigration, the Second Priest was still alive and kicking, but now, the foreign race only initiated two invasions and the Second Priest has already died in West State.

The deviation was just too great!

In the end, it was all because of Lu Xun; he was the root cause of everything!

If the Second Priest hadn’t formulated a plan against him, the current situation wouldn’t have occurred.

At this moment, the body of the Second Priest fell from the sky and then slowly turned into ashes.

Lu Xun was surprised as two notification messages popped up in front of him.

“[Ding! You have participated in the killing of the Second Priest of the Foreign Race and have been rewarded with 1.8 million Experience Points.]”

“[Ding! You have been rewarded with 400 Contribution Points.]”

Lu Xun, looking at the notification, hastily collected the rewards.

He didn’t expect that his minute contribution could earn him rewards. Moreover, these rewards were quite significant and not at all meager.

It could only be said that the Second Priest was truly a gem. Simply skimming off his profits felt so gratifying. If he became the main damage dealer, wouldn’t he be over the moon?

Of course, this level of power was still not something Lu Xun could touch upon.

The fierce battle here has thus reached a conclusion.

The wooden sword in the hand of the second senior sister returned to the form of a wooden hairpin. She lifted her slender arm, gathered her black hair, twisted it up into a bun, and secured it with the wooden hairpin.

For some reason, watching this cool and composed Taoist nun tying her hair, Lu Xun felt an indescribable sense of beauty.

After she secured her hair with the wooden hairpin, Gu Xiaoman took out the paper crane from her storage ring and sat back on it.

Mao Nanbei, floating in the air, glanced at the Second Sister’s paper crane then at Lu Xun’s paper crane, and for a moment she seemed to be at a loss.

Which one should I board?

“Go… go ahead, haven’t you… you’ve been constantly harping about Jun…Junior Brother along the way, haven’t you?” The second Senior Sister uncharacteristically spoke a sentence that was quite lengthy.

“Hee hee!” Upon hearing this, Mao Nanbei jumped in the air, transformed into a flying cat bomb, and launched herself towards Lu Xun who sat on the paper crane.

She grabbed Lu Xun’s neck, then, just as usual, hung on him like a pendant. Lu Xun raised his hand to massage her cat ears, but she kept dodging.

“Dream on! Not in public!” Mao Nanbei cursed silently in her heart.

But the thought of getting to eat something delicious tonight made her mouth water and it was almost like she was making slurping noises.

Lu Xun let her cling to him and gave a fist-palm salute towards Gu Xiaoman, “Junior brother thanks the senior sisters for the rescue.”

Gu Xiaoman nodded slightly without uttering a word.

Mao Nanbei began bragging. She talked a lot but Lu Xun tuned her out and didn’t seriously listen.

In fact, Lu Xun rarely went face-to-face with the Second Senior Sister. Usually, he was looking at her back or her side profile.

The Second Senior Sister was really still that thin. Despite Lu Xun actively trying to gain some weight, he felt a slight sense of defeat.

Nevertheless, the thinness of the Second Senior Sister was just right.

You would think that she was thin, but she was not thin to a point of discomfort.

On the contrary, she had a great jawline, her neck was slender, and her Daoist robe concealed half of her collarbone, revealing just a small part, which had its own unique sense of beauty.

Lu Xun looked at them and politely asked, “Senior sisters, is the gentleman doing well recently?”

“He’s doing very well! How can he not be okay?” Mao Nanbei murmured with a pout.

In all of the rear mountain, she was the only one who dared to talk like that.

Lu Xun nodded. He had just asked casually, and then he casually asked again, “What about the third senior brother?”

“The third senior brother descended the mountain quite some time ago, even before us. We don’t know where he has gone.” Mao Nanbei answered.

Zhuge Lai Fu had descended the mountain some days ago, but there wasn’t much news about Zhuge Lai Fu from the foot of the mountain, which was a bit strange.

Hearing this, Lu Xun just nodded, then smiled faintly and asked with concern, “What about Little Chan and Ji Li?”

“Them? The gentleman has been giving them special training recently so that they can better protect themselves in this catastrophe.” Mao Nanbei moved her cat ears, revealing all the details.

This was equivalent to indirectly telling Lu Xun that these two girls were still in the rear mountain and had not descended the mountain yet.

After finishing, she didn’t forget to tell Lu Xun, “Little Junior Brother, you broke through realms at such a fast pace, you have reached the fourth realm already. But you must feel the urgency, because Little Chan and Ji Li have also been breaking through realms quickly recently. You can’t let them surpass you, right!”

Lu Xun was not perturbed about this and deliberately said, “How can that be? On the contrary, the fourth senior sister should start focusing on her cultivation. Otherwise, I might surpass you one day!”

“Humph! I am so many realms ahead of you! If you can surpass me, I will… I will…”

“You will what?” Lu Xun asked curiously.

“Whatever you say!” Mao Nanbei appeared very confident.

After all, she was in the sixth realm, very stable and totally unconcerned.

Lu Xun said, “Alright, once spoken, it’s settled.”

“Humph! Think I’m scared of you?” The little girl pouted then turned to sit on Lu Xun’s shoulder. Shaking the bells on her wrist, she said, “Once spoken, it’s settled!”
