Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1340: Chapter 1337: Fulfilling Promises, Wrath Burns the World (Third Update)

Because he saw that on Tao Niang’s neck, there was a huge wound.

The perpetrator was clearly familiar with human anatomy, skillfully avoiding vital areas, only severing the vocal cords while leaving the trachea and arteries intact.

Even the wound had been tied by the assailant in a very beautiful manner, yet at this moment, all of it seemed like a huge mockery.

Despite having undergone numerous hardships, many strong individuals turned pale at this tragic sight, and some women had already burst into tears.

Because even for demon ghosts, killing is only for feeding or enhancing their cultivation level; none treated killing with an artistic flair like this assailant did.

Xue An remained silent, slowly walking forward, and softly called out, ”Tao Niang!”

Upon hearing Xue An’s voice, Tao Niang became agitated, her body trembling, her mouth moving as if she wanted to say something, yet unable to produce any sound.

Seeing this, Xue An gently covered the massive wound on Tao Niang’s neck with his hand. Under the radiance of his power, the severed vocal cords were reconnected.

But all these were just temporary measures, as Xue An was well aware that Tao Niang had been injured too long, so long that her body had completely broken down, beyond saving.

With Xue An’s help, Tao Niang was finally able to make a sound, but her voice was extremely hoarse and deep. Xue An leaned down, close to Tao Niang’s ear, quietly listening.

Tao Niang used her extremely hoarse voice to shout, ”Save... save Xiao Rui!”

Xue An silently paused for a moment, then nodded, ”Okay!”

Although it was just one word, it carried tremendous weight.

With Xue An’s promise, a relieved smile gradually emerged on Tao Niang’s blood-stained face, tears of blood fell from her hollow eye sockets, then she slowly bowed her head, losing all signs of life.

To wait for Xue An, she endured excruciating pain that would typically cause others to collapse and held on until now.

All for that last glimmer of hope in her heart.

Perhaps she didn’t know if this hope would ever materialize, but she pursued it relentlessly.

Because the one she wanted to save was her own daughter!

Now that her hope was achieved, she finally laid down the heavy burden in her heart!

And without the support of her belief, her spirit immediately collapsed and she died.

Xue An stood silently, looking at Tao Niang who had died with her head bowed.

This middle-aged woman was very ordinary, so ordinary like a humble weed, and thus, she was cruelly tormented by some high rankers.

Yet, she was so great, she persevered till now, just to deliver a message.

Heaven knows what kind of suffering Tao Niang endured waiting for Xue An to arrive!

This also shows how important Xue An was in her heart.

”Don’t worry, I will safely rescue Xiao Rui, and as for the perpetrators, no matter who they are, I will make them pay with their lives!”

Xue An said slowly, and then reached out to gently caress Tao Niang’s cheek.

The once painful expression gradually turned peaceful, and then flames rose around her body, cremating her into nothingness.

The pain finally subsided, only hatred remains eternal!

Seeing this scene, Xing Yushu knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably, ”Tao Niang! I and the lord will definitely seek justice for you and all the people in the town!”

The rest of the people also felt deeply moved, many showing angry expressions.

For example, Shi Jian, who always abhorred evil, was trying hard to suppress his anger at the moment and respectfully asked, ”Sir, who did this?”

”Yeah! Was it demon ghosts?” Nian Xuexin also asked urgently, burning with rage.

Xue An shook his head lightly, speaking indifferently, ”It was a human!”

A human?

This statement made many people’s hearts suddenly constrict, their eyes brimming even more with rage.

If it had been the doing of demon ghosts, it could have been explained away as a difference in species.

But if it was the actions of a human, that made it even more infuriating.

After all, being humans themselves, why would they brutally deal with their own kind like this?

Xue An softly said, ”A very clever method, to avoid the talisman spell I left behind, they actually chose to forcibly attack with the power of mortals!”

As he said this, a trace of chill flashed across Xue An’s eyes, ”But, you were also so foolish, because of you, an unforgivable mistake has been committed!”

Originally, Xue An had left behind a talisman spell to protect the peace of this small town.

This talisman spell targeted not only the demon ghosts, but also the powerful beings of the Human Clan, it was supposed to be fail-proof.

However, Xue An overlooked one thing, due to the high concentration of spiritual power in this realm, ordinary people could achieve considerable cultivation levels with just a little practice, hence the talisman spell was also set up to suppress those humans with cultivation skills.

But never had he expected that this would allow someone to exploit a loophole, scheming to use ordinary mortals without any cultivation level to forcefully break through the town’s defenses and then carry out a massacre.

This method could not be considered anything less than deep and calculating.

The more it was so, the more intense the rage in Xue An’s heart became.

And when Xue An became enraged, corpses would lay across thousands of miles, with blood filling the sky!

Xue An suddenly stomped on the ground, like a cannonball, he shot into the sky, turning into a dazzling streak of light soaring toward the horizon.

Shi Jian followed closely behind.

Holding his sword, he shouted softly, ”Leave some people here to guard, the rest follow me!”

Having said that, he also rocketed into the sky.

In an instant, the sky was filled with a brilliance that shone and reflected upon each other, soaring directly into the horizon.

Jing Country’s capital city.

As one of the premier countries in this vast region, this capital was naturally very magnificent and majestic.

Especially since several decades ago when Jing Country’s upper echelon collectively shifted allegiance to the Ghost Sect, their strength surged drastically, and with it, Jing Country became increasingly overbearing.

Currently, the setting sun’s light shone on the black city walls engraved with countless demon ghost arrays, exuding a grotesque beauty.

But on the streets of the capital, there was not a single soul, just gusts of eerie wind passing through, swaying the shop’s front banners, making it look utterly desolate.

However, in such a scenario, the nightlife of Jing Country’s elites had just begun.

Inside the Imperial Palace at the center of the capital, a grand banquet had just commenced.

Numerous well-dressed and fashionable Jing Country elites were gathering in groups, occasionally breaking out in bursts of laughter.

And their main topic of discussion was none other than the soon-to-appear new Great National Teacher.

”Tsk, tsk, it’s said that this State Preceptor is scholarly like a Heavenly Being, with him assisting us, our Jing Country will surely become stronger and even eliminate those cave heavens!” said a middle-aged man wearing a white flower, his face plastered with a thick layer of powder, revealing blood-red dark teeth as he chuckled strangely.

The people nearby couldn’t help but nod in agreement.

”Exactly! It’s said that the Great National Teacher can even communicate directly with the Holy Realm! If it were not for his methods, those commoners in our Jing Country’s capital wouldn’t have the chance to be transformed into ghost spirits!”

”Ah, by the way! How are those three from the Baili, Jin Family, and Zeng Family, these three major families doing?” someone asked with a bit of schadenfreude.
