Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2400: Chapter 2401: Battle of the Ages

Si Guangzhong was not foolish; he instantly understood the implications.

This realization sent a shiver through him, leaving him cold all over.

"Brother, no..."

Thud!

A massive wound suddenly appeared at his throat, blocking all the words he was about to say.

As blood splattered, Si Guangzhong’s eyes quickly became dull.

Being part of the Si Family, naturally Si Mingqi knew how to act decisively to eliminate future troubles, so this time Si Guangzhong did not have the fortune of rebirth at the ancestral land; he was directly annihilated, soul and all.

After finishing everything, Si Mingqi did not leave immediately. Instead, he tidied up the scene, creating the illusion that Si Guangzhong was killed by the aftershocks of Sword Qi.

Even though he knew that the scene probably wouldn’t be examined, and might even be destroyed by battle aftershocks in the next second, he took precautions nonetheless.

Once he finished disguising the scene, he looked up at the sky with awe before quietly leaving.

This minor episode drew no attention because everyone’s focus was captivated by the epic battle in the sky.

At this moment, the fight had reached a fever pitch.

With the naked eye alone, it was difficult to distinguish which of the two intersecting sword lights in the sky belonged to Xue An and which to Shen Gaoge.

Suddenly.

The two sword lights halted in the air, revealing the figures within.

Xue An and Shen Gaoge stood face-to-face, their swords pushing against each other, caught in a stalemate.

The entire area fell silent instantly.

Even those unfamiliar with swordsmanship knew that this seemingly ordinary confrontation was far more perilous than the grand battle earlier.

Because this was a pure contest of Sword Intent, where any slip-up could lead to a shattered Sword Heart and complete annihilation.

Seeing this, Su Feijing, standing in the distant sky, involuntarily clenched his fists, secretly rooting for Shen Gaoge.

Shen Gaoge did not disappoint him, as his sword was slowly advancing towards Xue An.

Although this process was slow, it was filled with immense pressure.

Many hearts were instantly in their throats.

Yet Xue An’s face showed no expression; he stood there coldly, as if the steadily approaching sword edge did not exist.

"Xue An, your Sword Intent is the most peculiar I’ve ever seen, but you have still lost, because I am the invincible Sword Cultivator of the Shen Family. If you surrender now, I can spare a strand of your soul to go back for trial; otherwise, you will face utter annihilation, and you’ll regret it when it’s too late."

Shen Gaoge said coldly.

This was actually a tactic meant to crumble Xue An’s fighting spirit.

But Xue An remained unmoved, merely smiling faintly.

"The outcome is still undecided; how do you know I’ve lost?"

Shen Gaoge snorted coldly, "It seems you won’t shed tears until you see your own coffin, so I will show you the outcome!"

With that, Shen Gaoge suddenly increased the force in his hands.

Rainkill Sword pressed firmly against Xue An’s sword, inching closer to Xue An’s throat.

But at this critical juncture, flames suddenly surged in Xue An’s eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the space his gaze traversed was ignited by the flames.

These flames were nearly transparent, silent, appearing spontaneously in mid-air, even Shen Gaoge, standing closest, did not feel any heat.

Yet these very flames caused Shen Gaoge’s heart to contract sharply, every hair on his body stood on end, feeling an extremely strong sense of danger.

Almost instinctively, Shen Gaoge wanted to retreat.

But seeing himself about to strike Xue An down in the next instant, Shen Gaoge gritted his teeth and stubbornly resisted the pressure from the flames, once more exerting pressure to try to bring Xue An down.

However, in the next moment, Shen Gaoge suddenly felt all the pressure ease, stumbling forward, nearly falling.

Upon closer inspection, Shen Gaoge was stunned to find that the flames had unknowingly spread to the Rainkill Sword and within moments burned this treasured sword from Chengjian Mountain to nothingness.

Thud, Shen Gaoge spat out a mouthful of blood.

As a top-tier Sword Cultivator, this Rainkill Sword had long been connected to his mind and soul, and now with the sudden destruction of the Rainkill Sword, his Sword Heart naturally suffered significant damage.

Shen Gaoge retreated hastily, even disregarding his posture entirely.

The reason being, a moment of delay and these flames could take his life.

In an instant, Shen Gaoge retreated several hundred feet, and when he stood firm, he began to breathe heavily.

This scene caused a stir among the crowd.

No one anticipated the confrontation would end in Shen Gaoge’s defeat.

Many gazed at Xue An, shrouded in pure white flames, eyes full of awe.

Because from the start till now, this white-clothed youth had consecutively displayed two secret techniques.

First was the unbreakable Red Lotus Sword Intent, followed by this all-encompassing flame.

Who knows what powerful cards he still holds in his hand.

Upon seeing the flames, the Empress standing outside the district trembled, then slightly narrowed her water-cut eyes, softly whispering.

"Zhu Rong’s Fire? No, it seems to be fused with many other flames inside! What a fascinating child!"

At the end, the Empress’s voice was full of appreciation.

Meanwhile, after a moment of heavy breathing, Shen Gaoge slowly raised his head, eyes filled with coldness.

"Why didn’t you pursue an attack just then?"

Earlier his Sword Heart was on the verge of shattering, leaving him only able to regulate his breath, if Xue An had launched an attack then, he would have been gravely wounded if not dead.

Yet, Xue An refrained from doing so, prompting his question.

Xue An smiled faintly, "No particular reason, just don’t want to deal with a Sword Cultivator using such means, after all... a Sword Cultivator’s best fate is only to die beneath a sword!"

Shen Gaoge didn’t expect such an answer from Xue An, surprising him before his gaze gradually softened.

"Thank you!"

"You’re welcome!"

Then the two of them laughed together.

For a moment, a feeling of mutual appreciation pervaded the scene.

But soon, Shen Gaoge’s smile slowly faded, then he softly said.

"Xue An, you indeed are a true Sword Cultivator, but I won’t spare you because of the earlier matter, if you happen to die beneath my sword, don’t bear a grudge!"

When saying this, Shen Gaoge’s expression was extremely serious.

Xue An smiled faintly, "If I would bear a grudge, I wouldn’t have given you a chance to regulate your breath earlier!"

Looking at Xue An’s calm and composed smile, Shen Gaoge couldn’t help but speak.

"Honestly Xue An, if you decide to surrender now, I guarantee you won’t be harmed, once back at the Shen Family, I will report truthfully to the higher-ups..."
