Chapter 357: Chapter 273: It’s You! The Brat Who Destroyed My True Form! (Part 2)
In an instant, the blade light flickered, with countless afterimages, carrying an unstoppable momentum, as it slashed down vertically toward the mysterious elder’s skull.
"Crack!"
The blade cut through the air swiftly, emitting an ear-piercing tearing sound.
The scorching white energy on the blade surged skyward, causing the temperature in the air to spike to its peak.
Even the hunched, decrepit body of the mysterious elder in front was distorted by the scorching force.
He Yan’s eyes flashed with a cold light, as he let out a low shout, raising his arm high.
The large blade in his hand, wrapped in surging inner qi, suddenly slashed down in mid-air.
The movement of lifting and dropping the blade was completed in one fluid motion, slicing through the void with a sharp whistle.
As a martial artist with mastery of inner qi, the full-force strike from He Yan was truly terrifying in power.
The mysterious elder had no time to react, and his hunched, frail body was instantly cleaved in two by the fierce blade light.
In the next moment, in the middle of the mysterious elder’s split body, a thick, ink-like black mist began to surge and twist violently.
It seemed as if an invisible force was trying to reassemble and consolidate it.
These black mists wriggled and struggled continuously, like living creatures, trying to revert to the mysterious elder’s original form.
At this moment, a sudden "sizzling" sound was heard, as strands of scorching white smoke rose slowly from the cut.
It was the scorching inner qi He Yan imbued in the blade that took effect.
The extremely hot inner qi was fiercely burning the surging yin energy.
Under this terrifying high-temperature grilling, the yin energy on the mysterious elder dissipated continuously, unable to fully return to its original form.
Finally, the mysterious elder could only struggle painfully in the scorching white energy, emitting "sizzling" mournful cries.
Following closely, a tearing howl, only audible to He Yan, was emitted.
That sound was miserable and painful, as if it came from the depths of hell, carrying endless resentment and unwillingness.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
A mechanical voice devoid of human emotion echoed incessantly in He Yan’s ears, bearing an endless killing intent.
He Yan’s gaze was cold and profound, as the large blade in his hand suddenly shook, with the scorching white energy on the blade growing more intense.
"Dust to dust, earth to earth!"
Before the words were finished, the large blade in He Yan’s hand had already swung out again, with the blade light pointing straight at the mysterious elder split in two.
Although the elder’s body had been severed, it still emanated an unsettlingly cold aura.
It seemed to still be struggling, unwilling to completely vanish between heaven and earth.
The blade cut through the air, bringing up a wave of scorching heat.
The elder’s hunched, decrepit body began to disintegrate gradually in the light of He Yan’s blade, then turned into scattered ashes, drifting away with the breeze.
He Yan stood in place, the large blade in his hand still emitting a high-temperature aura.
Finally, the surroundings of the hall returned to silence.
Only the steaming white smoke slowly dissipated in the air, as if nothing had ever happened.
He Yan slowly sheathed his blade, and the scorching white energy on the blade gradually dissipated, with the cold aura also completely vanishing thereafter.
His gaze was stern as he scanned around the room, only turning away after confirming there was no more presence of yin energy.
He Yan then turned to look at Su An, Liang Cheng, and Lu Yunqing outside the door.
"Su An, you three go to the county office tomorrow, deal with the Feng Family’s annihilation case, then return to the city!"
"Yes!"
Liang Cheng and Lu Yunqing replied almost in unison, with an excited gleam in their eyes, answering swiftly, fearing He Yan would change his mind.
For the past half month, they had been staying in the city, practicing cultivation techniques every day.
Or sparring, living a monotonous and dull life, with nerves almost stretched to the breaking point.
Now, following Brother Su An out on a mission was a delightful surprise for Liang Cheng.
Perfect timing, after dealing with Fuo Songde, he could then go with Yun Qing, his cousin, and Brother Su An to find a place to relax.
As Liang Cheng was thinking this, he failed to notice that He Yan had already seen through their thoughts.
However, He Yan didn’t say much, turning to leave.
Liang Cheng looked at He Yan’s back and couldn’t help but whisper to Lu Yunqing, "Cousin Yun Qing, we can finally catch a break."
"This past half month has really been exhausting."
Su An stood quietly on the side, his expression calm, yet deep within his gaze lurked a hint of contemplation.
He slightly tilted his head, glancing at the excited Liang Cheng and Lu Yunqing, and spoke in a calm tone: "You two, do not become too complacent."
Then, Su An paused slightly, continuing with a heavy sentiment: "The world today has become increasingly unpredictable."
"Those ghostly entities from heaven and earth have been emerging continuously recently."
"But if it were only those ghostly entities, that would be manageable."
"Yet now, even vengeful spirits of humans who died unjustly are increasing in number."
Having said that, Su An sighed lightly, with a sigh full of helplessness and concern.
What is most critical and deadly is those ghostly entities reappearing in the human world with overwhelming resentment, with extremely terrifying yin energy.
Those ghostly entities transformed from humans have at least the fierce level of yin energy.
In other words, whenever such a ghostly entity appears, multiple Profound Bird Guards at the Blood Refining Realm are required to act simultaneously to ensure infallibility!
However, what slightly reassured Su An was.
