Chapter 1460 Keep Pretending, Keep Pretending
A series of crackling electric lights and explosions erupted as a dazzling purple-gold sword light shot to the end of the corridor, then exploded with a deafening roar, sending shockwaves scattering in all directions.
A fierce wind howled, and lightning flashed in Jiang Han's palm. He reached forward and a huge cat head flew to his front, its brow slowly approaching his palm.
Their eyes met, their gazes darted wildly, their fur trembled, and they shrieked as they struggled.
"Wait a minute! Let me explain first!!"
The raccoon used almost all its strength to barely manage to utter that cry, so its voice was very high-pitched and no longer had its previous haughty air.
At this moment, the swordsman in front of it was under unprecedented pressure, making it almost unable to breathe.
That was a terrifying aura emanating from its heritage, the horrifying power that had once imprisoned it here.
Now, this sword cultivator possessed an aura of the same origin as that power, and the aura was extremely dense. Just by getting slightly closer, it couldn't help but feel its scalp tingle and its heart filled with fear, wanting nothing more than to turn around and flee immediately.
Unlike when it faced those two ants before, it felt that it was going to die this time, and it was going to die a very horrible death.
Seeing that its opponent remained unmoved, and even more so that black mist emanated from the palm of its hand, causing its primordial spirit to tremble, the raccoon couldn't help but cry out:
"It's really a misunderstanding, I didn't... Oh no! Crane Fairy, save me!"
As soon as the words were spoken, countless black mists billowed out before their eyes. The raccoon felt a sudden darkness before its eyes, and its consciousness was completely plunged into darkness. All the struggling and twisting of its head disappeared.
Its primordial spirit was forcibly extracted, transformed into a ball of black light, and sealed away.
Boom!
Jiang Han released his grip, and the raccoon's head fell limply, its massive demonic body collapsing as well. The black armor on its body turned into liquid and floated up, condensing in mid-air into a jet-black bead.
Jiang Han raised his hand and took the bead into his hand. He glanced at it twice and then put it away.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang..."
Su Qian's primordial spirit uttered a stunned sound, her hand only half-finished hand seal before she quickly waved it away, exclaiming in delight:
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, it really is you!"
As soon as she spoke, her mind relaxed, and she felt a wave of weakness in her body. She hurriedly manipulated her primordial spirit back into her physical body, and the power of the self-destruction dissipated. She then took out a pill and began to heal her injuries.
Only at this moment did she completely relax, because she knew that as long as Fellow Daoist Jiang was there, she would be safe.
Although she didn't see how Fellow Daoist Jiang made his move, she didn't need to worry too much. As long as she stayed by Fellow Daoist Jiang's side, this Immortal Palace would be relatively safe.
She witnessed it with her own eyes. Even the twelve demon kings, who had confidently attacked Fellow Daoist Jiang, all died neatly under the Thunder Sword, and none of them escaped.
They've only encountered two demons, which are no match for Fellow Daoist Jiang; they're only capable of using two sword strikes.
"This, this..."
Master Fuguang stood there stunned, holding his breath for a long time before finally letting out a long breath and exclaiming, "As expected of Fellow Daoist Jiang, such skills truly make us admire you..."
They used every means at their disposal, even squeezing out the resources of their immortal treasures, but they still couldn't do anything about the two demons. They were almost driven to the brink of despair by the two demons, and only by relying on Fellow Daoist Su's self-destruction of his physical body did they have a sliver of hope to escape with their lives.
He had even prepared to burn his essence and blood, and even a part of his primordial spirit, to escape, which shows how desperately they had been forced by that demon.
But even such a powerful demon was like an ant in front of Fellow Daoist Jiang, without even the slightest chance to fight back, and its head was cut off with a single sword strike.
Even though he had witnessed the other party's swordsmanship firsthand before, Master Fuguang was still shaken to his core by the splendor of that sword strike.
Such combat prowess is truly like a sword immortal from the celestial realm descending to the mortal world, displaying an invincible aura!
……
Inside the corridor, a huge raccoon lay on the ground, lifeless, with dark blood flowing continuously from its neck, quickly forming a pool.
Jiang Han nodded slightly to the two of them: "It's alright, I'll handle it."
After saying that, he glanced sideways at the white crane that was frozen to the side.
The white crane was also looking at him. Their eyes met, and the white crane instinctively shrank its long neck back.
Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the human opposite it, it couldn't help but take another half step back.
Such powerful sword intent, such domineering thunder, such rich aura of inheritance!
This person was able to kill Xiao Li in an instant, which shows how terrifying his strength is, and his combat power far exceeds theirs.
His purple-gold sword was so sharp that even black armor could not withstand it, and it was cut in two by his sword.
What's even more terrifying is the speed of the opponent; it's so fast that even it didn't see how the opponent appeared.
If this person attacks it...
No, the gap is too big. If we really start fighting, it probably won't even have a chance to activate the laws of space before it's instantly killed in close combat.
Damn it, he's clearly a sword cultivator, why can't he fight from a distance with his sword? Why is he resorting to close combat and bullying people?!
Bai He hesitated for a moment, then his expression turned quite grim.
After much thought, there is only one conclusion.
We can't fight them, we can't fight them at all!
The opponent's strength far exceeded its own; it was a powerful being that it could not possibly defeat!
"Young friend... you must also be here for the fragments of this inheritance, right?"
The white crane straightened its body, raised one wing pointing upwards, and its face showed a hint of benevolence:
"That fragment of inheritance has been buried here for many years, waiting for a destined person to come and take it away. Now that we have met you, fellow Daoist, you must be that destined person."
“In that case, fellow Daoist, please feel free to try to retrieve it. This place is quiet, and no one will disturb you. As for me… I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now.”
It nodded gracefully to Jiang Han: "Fellow Daoist, you should prioritize obtaining the treasure. I may leave on my own; there is no need for you all to see me off."
Having said that, it pretended nothing had happened, slowly folded its wings, turned around, and walked unhurriedly to the other end of the corridor.
It looked as if a wise hermit had passed by, given some pointers to a studious junior, and was about to leave.
But from the side where no one could see, the white crane's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. One eye peeked furtively behind it. Seeing that no one was chasing it, it quickened its pace and even flapped its wings slightly, hopping and running away quickly.
Its speed was extremely fast; although it did not use spatial laws, it disappeared around the corner in the blink of an eye.
Only then did it raise its wing to wipe the cold sweat from its forehead and breathe a sigh of relief.
They're out of sight, so they probably won't be chasing after us anymore, right?
