Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2834: Chapter 2835: The Will of the Literary Path

As his words fell, the Ancient Mirror shard in Xue An’s hand once again burst out with an incomparably dazzling radiance, then he hurled it straight at Shuming.

Shuming was so terrified his soul nearly flew out of his body. With a shrill scream, his figure, which had been charging straight ahead, came to an abrupt halt, then he turned around without a second thought and fled back into the hole where he’d been hiding.

Everything happened so fast that everyone had no time to react; the Shuming who had just been charging in with overwhelming momentum had already run away.

This scene left everyone utterly dumbfounded.

Especially Lu Hui; he had never imagined that Xue An, relying on just a tiny shard of The Celestial Mirror, would be able to turn the tables at death’s door, not only heavily injuring Shuming, but even scaring him off.

Does this thing really have that much power?

Lu Hui was mulling it over.

But then he saw that shard of Ancient Mirror, which had originally been flying toward Shuming, circle once in midair, then fly back into Xue An’s hand.

After catching the shard, Xue An didn’t hesitate for even a moment and directly waved his hand toward Yun Lingxuan on the ground.

"Go!"

A beam of light instantly wrapped Yun Lingxuan within it, then yanked her up into the sky.

At the same time, Xue An turned his hand into a sword and slashed straight downward.

Crack!

The space before him was cleaved open into a long, narrow rift.

Then Xue An grabbed Yun Lingxuan and stepped into the rift.

He... he left?

Only when the figures of the two vanished into the rift did many people finally come back to their senses, their faces filled with astonishment.

"Young master, miss!" Tuan’er cried out in alarm and started running this way.

But with her level of strength, how could she possibly catch up?

They saw the rift in the air start to close at incredible speed.

Tuan’er’s face showed panic.

Just then, they heard Tang Xiao say, "You even left your own little maid behind, I’d really like to see where you think you’re going!"

As she spoke, Tang Xiao grabbed Tuan’er, who had just run up, and without even discussing it with Lu Hui, leapt into the air and, seizing the final moment, rushed into that rift.

By the time Lu Hui reacted and tried to chase after them, it was already too late; the rift in the sky had already closed up and disappeared.

The remaining people present all looked at one another, baffled.

They had obviously just won the fight, so why did they suddenly run?

Only Lu Hui’s expression changed drastically after a moment’s thought, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Everyone, leave this place at once, do not delay for even an instant!"

With that, he led the people of the Qisi Poetry Society and turned to leave without looking back.

The people from the other academies’ societies still hadn’t fully reacted.

Just then, the Shuming who had originally fled returned, poking his head out again to look over this heaven and earth.

When he discovered that Xue An, Yun Lingxuan and the others had all vanished without a trace, he immediately realized he’d been played; that Ancient Mirror shard just now had been nothing but a bluff.

At this thought, he couldn’t help letting out an enraged roar.

"Xue An, you coward, you actually dared deceive my true self and then flee without a fight. I will definitely tear you into ten thousand pieces."

As he roared, he lowered his enormous head, his cold serpent eyes sweeping over the people in the field who were trembling under his aura, then he let out a sinister laugh.

"Since Xue An ran away, I’ll first collect some interest from you lot. Don’t blame me for being ruthless—if you must blame someone, blame Xue An!"

With that, he took a deep breath, and the massive airflow swept across the entire field, turning into a howling gale.

Those with weaker strength were blown about by this gale, staggering and stumbling, terror flooding their faces.

Just a single breath already had such savage power—how were they supposed to fight this?

In that moment, many people fell into despair, and inevitably grew full of resentment and hatred toward the "runaway" Xue Ansheng.

This whole mess was stirred up by you, yet when things exploded, you greased your heels and slipped away, leaving us here to bear this senseless wrath.

That was the true thought in the hearts of the vast majority present.

On Lu Hui’s side, he had been leading the people of the Qisi Poetry Society in a wild dash, but just as they were about to rush into Xihua City, an invisible barrier suddenly appeared ahead, blocking their way.

When they turned back, they saw Shuming stretching out his body in midair, about to explode in fury and wipe everyone out.

"Senior brother, what do we do now?" someone asked, face full of despair.

Lu Hui’s expression was grave. He slowly exhaled and said, "Prepare for the final fight to the death. Even though we can’t possibly defeat this thing, we still can’t sit here and wait to die."

The people of the Qisi Poetry Society all fell silent.

Who could have imagined that an ordinary literary gathering would end up like this?

"Senior brother is right. Even if we die, we die standing—we must never die on our knees!" someone from the Qisi Poetry Society said in a low voice.

These words immediately won everyone’s response.

"That’s right! It’s just a giant long worm. Worst case, we go all out!"

"Count me in!"

In an instant, the members of the Qisi Poetry Society were all fired up, ready to meet death head-on.

Just then, the earth beneath their feet started to tremble, and they saw beams of resplendent literary qi shooting up to the heavens from the distant horizon.

"This... this is...." Someone’s eyes widened as he stared at the scene before him in disbelief.

Lu Hui let out a long breath. "It’s the Wen Mountains of the Great Academies! They’ve made their move!"

Sure enough.

As Lu Hui spoke, beams of literary qi also rose straight into the sky from within Xihua City behind them.

If one were to look down from high above at this moment, one would see a miraculous scene.

On the continent below, wherever there was a city, beams of light pierced the firmament, and then these beams connected with one another high in the sky, forming a gigantic net that shielded the land beneath.

Shuming, who had originally intended to go on a massive slaughter in this world to vent his anger, couldn’t help a slight change of expression upon seeing this enormous net, then snarled.

"What? You plan to stop my true self?"

On this net formed from countless beams of light, a figure gradually coalesced.

This figure was illusory and translucent, its features impossible to discern, but every movement it made carried a world-shaking might.

"Ruler, we have no desire to be your enemy, but this world is the territory governed by our Dao of Literature and has always been under our protection. If you act wantonly, then we naturally cannot stand idly by!"

Shuming hesitated for a moment, the light in his enormous serpent eyes flickering; clearly he was quite wary of this vast net.

He knew all too well how terrifying these literary Dao wills were. Furthermore, he was only an avatar, and he was severely wounded. If he truly clashed head-on with these literary Dao wills, even if he won, he would have to pay a disastrous price.

After thinking it over for a moment, Shuming snorted coldly. "Fine. Since the main target has already fled, I’ll give you literary Dao wills some face!"

With that, Shuming turned and burrowed into the void, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

The figure did not disperse, but instead gazed in the direction Shuming had gone, muttering under his breath.

"Hua Clan youth, I have fulfilled the agreement between us. What comes next will depend on you."
