Invincible Dad-Chapter 549 549: Sword Immortal from Heaven 3000000_1
Bathed in moonlight, Xu Yiyi's wrist turned.
A beam of sword qi formed from moonlight bisected all the Sea Demons in her sight. Nearly half of the several hundred thousand Sea Demons, all of varying cultivation Boundaries, burst into a bloody mist. They erupted like beautiful fireworks, but the cost of this bloom was steep—the life of every Sea Demon caught in its path.
"Whew." Xu Yiyi's grip on the dead tree branch trembled slightly.
Through Qian Xiao's gradually blurring vision, he saw a massive horde of Sea Demons relentlessly rushing forward amidst the exploding blood-red fireworks.
He gasped, "Yiyi, I'm about to die. Let me go and run for your life. Don't tire yourself out."
Not only did Xu Yiyi not let go, she held on even tighter.
She hadn't dared to open her eyes from the very beginning. She was terrified of seeing her little tagalong die in front of her. She didn't want to see it, so she deceived herself and kept them shut.
Qian Xiao didn't try to convince her anymore.
He suddenly chuckled foolishly because the girl shrouded in moonlight, her skin as fair as jade, was as beautiful as a fairy descending to the mortal world.
A verse he had read somewhere suddenly popped into his mind—
"At the Zen gate, the silent break,
The beauty like jade, the sword like a rainbow!"
The sword is good. But the person is even better.
Qian Xiao's remaining right arm hung limply in the air as his eyes slowly closed.
"Qian Xiao, open your eyes."
"I'm counting to three! Hurry... hurry and open your eyes, or I'll never let Dad make you cloud candy again!"
"How am I supposed to explain this to Aunt Luo Chu and Uncle Qian? You have to get up!"
Xu Yiyi dropped the dead tree branch, her voice choked with sobs as she embraced Qian Xiao tightly. Her frail and gentle demeanor was a world away from the invincible, domineering presence she had just moments ago.
Haitang Duoduo stood behind Xu Yiyi. She reached out, wanting to pat the little girl's shoulder in comfort, but she didn't know how to begin. Her eyes simply reddened as she sighed softly.
「...」
"Such genuine Qingfeng Sword Intent."
In the sky, Sikong Jiu of the Heavenly Dao wore a solemn expression. "Even the three million sword immortals in the heavens must bow their heads when they meet me!"
Eighty thousand years ago, the night before Xu Lai became an Emperor, he held a worn Broken Wood Sword and stepped into the Wu Yuan Sword Sect, a legacy of twenty eras revered as the number one sword sect in the Universe.
Three million Sword Cultivators died beneath the Qingfeng Sword Intent.
Upon leaving the Sect Gate, Xu Lai's white robes were stained with blood, and the thunder tribulation snaked across billions upon billions of miles.
The next day, he became an Emperor.
And that nameless Broken Wood Sword became the world-renowned Emperor Artifact, the Qingfeng Sword.
But as for Emperor Qingfeng's Emperor Artifact and his Sword Intent, the Heavenly Dao had only ever heard of them, never seen them. It didn't want to see them either, because everyone who had was dead.
In the ages that followed, Xu Lai never again encountered an opponent worthy of his blade. People gradually forgot about the young man who once strode into the Sword Sect alone, his peerless sword arts causing rivers of blood to flow through the Immortal Domain.
Xu Lai's gaze was as calm as ever. He hadn't wasted these past few months teaching his daughter.
With those three strikes, Xu Yiyi had entered the Golden Core Boundary!
He no longer concealed himself and walked out in front of his daughter.
As if sensing something, Xu Yiyi's body stiffened, and she slowly opened her eyes. When she clearly saw that very familiar back, the tears welling in her eyes finally broke free and streamed down her face.
"WAAAH!"
"Daddy, save Qian Xiao, he... he..."
"It's okay. Daddy's here. Qian Xiao won't die."
Xu Lai's voice was gentle, yet he did not help Xu Yiyi to her feet, nor did he heal her injuries. Instead, he stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Stand firm. Today, I will give you your second lesson. The sword is a killing weapon. Once you draw it, show no mercy, and never drop it. Kill them all."
"Kill them all." Those three simple words sent shivers down the spines of Haitang Duoduo and the rescued female disciple from the sect. An inexplicable fear arose in their eyes as they looked at Xu Lai's back.
Is this a man? His voice, speaking to his own daughter, was so cold and devoid of warmth that it sent a chill down their spines.
Xu Yiyi bit her pale lips, carefully placed Qian Xiao's body on the ground, and once again grasped the branch that served as her sword.
What lay discarded on the ground would always be a branch. But once held in hand, it became an unstoppable, treasured sword.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Xu Yiyi didn't know where she found the strength, but she began to swing her sword and kill once more. Her fourth and fifth strikes were much weaker than the first three. To complete the task her father had set for her, she could only continue to strike, one after another.
Severed limbs of countless Sea Demons were strewn across the ground, their blood forming rivers that flowed into the sea. Towards the end, Xu Yiyi had become nearly numb, swinging her arms mechanically, like a puppet.
Xu Lai watched with an expressionless face.
Sikong Jiu was watching too, feeling as if he had been plunged into an icy cavern.
The man on Mount Haitang who could watch flowers bloom and wither, unfazed by honor or disgrace, and gaze at clouds rolling by, indifferent to their whims—that was Xu Lai. Yet the man personally teaching his six-year-old daughter how to hold a sword and slaughter hundreds of thousands of Sea Demons—that was the Supreme Emperor who ruled over billions of star systems and the Four Immortal Domains.
Sikong Jiu had never felt this man, who never showed his emotions, could be so terrifying.
Which Xu Lai... was the real Xu Lai?
These days, when the Heavenly Dao occasionally played its little tricks in front of Xu Lai, it suddenly felt pitifully stupid. The path to the Emperor Realm was paved with white bones. Xu Lai simply couldn't be bothered with such petty tricks; it wasn't that he was truly fooled.
The Heavenly Dao felt a chill down to its very core. It struggled to swallow, wishing only to escape from this place, to flee from the inexplicably terrifying Xu Lai. But it didn't dare.
But there are always those who don't know when to quit.
Such as the Faceless Spider.
It saw that the hundreds of thousands of Sea Demons that should have been consumed by its Lord had instead perished under the sword of a strange little girl. It was so furious its lungs felt like they would explode. Although the girl's sword was strong, however strong it was, before its Lord, she was nothing but an ant!
The Faceless Spider abandoned the critically injured and dying Xu Wanshan, roaring angrily, "How audacious!"
Without treatment, Xu Wanshan would have died within minutes. His body floated in front of Xu Lai.
Xu Lai pointed a finger.
This man, who had been on the verge of stepping onto the Netherworld Road, had his wounds instantly heal. Even his Boundary was forcibly elevated to the very peak of the Ninth Grade!
Xu Wanshan could clearly sense the barrier he had been unable to perceive for decades. He tried to break through it.
And just like that, the world gained another Divine Gate master.
All of this was merely from a casual flick of Xu Lai's finger.
"Take the unrelated people and withdraw," Xu Lai said indifferently.
"Yes, Senior Xu." Xu Wanshan's eyes were fervent. He had not only survived but had also advanced his Boundary—a true blessing in disguise.
Suppressing the urge to howl with excitement, Xu Wanshan led Haitang Duoduo, as well as the sect disciples who had been imprisoned in the turtle shell, away from the area. He didn't dare linger too close. From the Faceless Spider's words, he knew an unparalleled powerhouse slept beneath the island, one likely strong enough to exceed the pinnacle of the Divine Gate Realm.
And Senior Xu Lai clearly surpassed the peak of the Divine Gate Realm as well.
An epic battle was bound to take place, so Xu Wanshan fled far, far away.
"I'm talking to you, did you hear me!" the Faceless Spider shrieked hysterically. The damned man actually dared to ignore it.
