Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2417: Chapter 2418: A Sword Three Feet Long, No Self Among Mortals

As the words fell, an indescribable sword light pierced straight through the cascading rain, pointing directly at Xue An’s brow.

Its momentum unstoppable.

It’s hard to imagine such a majestic and awe-inspiring sword coming from the hand of a gentle woman.

Xue An didn’t try to blunt its edge but retreated swiftly backward.

Yet how could his retreat compare to the speed of the sword light?

So in just an instant, the sword light was already right before Xue An’s brow.

Seeing it would pierce his brow in the next second, at this moment, Xue An suddenly raised his eyes, and a Red Lotus rapidly bloomed within his brow, perfectly blocking the sword light.

Screech.

A sharp sound like tearing silk.

The lotus shattered, and the sword light dissipated along with it.

Shen Hongyi’s eyes lit up, "Did you use this Sword Intent to seriously injure my brother? Interesting indeed!"

As she spoke, Shen Hongyi abruptly spun the oil-paper umbrella in her hand.

Crack, crack, crack!

Accompanied by the sound of metal and iron clashing, the delicate oil-paper umbrella rapidly changed, the umbrella surface swiftly folded, transforming into a fierce long sword.

Then Shen Hongyi thrust the sword out, moving with the sword, the sword borrowing her might.

She advanced toward Xue An like a celestial being descending from dust.

This sword was tangible and substantial, yet its speed was not fast.

But faced with this strike using the umbrella as a sword, Xue An’s expression suddenly became very serious.

Then his form slightly swayed, and he instantly connected with heaven and earth.

At this moment, he was the universe, and the universe was him.

Then he raised both his hands in front of his chest and fiercely clapped them together.

Boom!

With a move that seemed like worshiping Buddha, Shen Hongyi’s advancing sword was caught between Xue An’s hands.

Upon contact, heaven and earth began to shake violently.

The raindrops that had fallen on the ground were also jolted into the air, then evaporated into nothingness.

A look of surprise crossed Shen Hongyi’s face.

Because Xue An’s palm strike, seemingly ordinary, forcibly broke her sword momentum.

Of course, there was a price, like the trickle of fresh blood now winding down Xue An’s wrist.

But this was far from Shen Hongyi’s intentions to deliver a fatal blow.

"As immovable as the earth, really interesting, incorporating Buddhist principles into swordsmanship?" Shen Hongyi couldn’t help but praise.

Though she praised him, the sword in her hand did not pause, moving upward with the flow, breaking free from Xue An’s grip, and heading straight for his throat.

With a crisp sound.

A Crimson Little Sword blocked Shen Hongyi’s umbrella sword, and their tips clashed, sparking a brilliant flash.

Xue An and Shen Hongyi disengaged as quickly as they met, then Shen Hongyi looked thoughtfully at the sword in Xue An’s hand.

"Indeed, it’s the Shen Family’s Sword Heart, extremely pure, can only be gathered by the Legitimate Branch bloodline. How did you get it?"

"I told you, it was gifted by a friend, but you didn’t believe it!" Xue An said calmly.

"Ha ha!" Shen Hongyi chuckled softly, "Regardless of belief, if the Shen Family’s Sword Heart appears in an outsider’s hands, it’s an unforgivable crime! Because... the Shen Family’s dignity cannot be desecrated!"

Xue An remained silent.

"Honestly, I admire your unique insights into Sword Dao. If not for this matter, we could have been great friends, but today, you must die!"

Shen Hongyi spoke eloquently, her cat-like bright eyes indicating her readiness.

Xue An was unmoved, simply raised his sword horizontally, "If that’s the case, then come!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sword radiance slashed from the sky, leaving a long crack in the densely packed dark clouds.

Xue An didn’t dodge, knowing that any evasion now was meaningless.

He raised his sword to meet it, clashing directly with Shen Hongyi’s strike.

There was no sound, only a violent shockwave spreading instantly, dispelling the overcast clouds.

Sunlight poured onto the earth once more, and just then, Xue An retreated several steps, a thread of blood trailing from the corner of his mouth.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady’s gaze tightened, about to speak.

Xue An gently wiped the blood from his mouth, speaking coldly, "Is this the true power of your Shen Family Sword Intent?"

"Strictly speaking, it was sixty percent strength!"

With her words, amid radiant glow appeared Shen Hongyi’s figure.

She still wore her red dress, her wrists pale as snow, seemingly unchanged.

Xue An nodded, "Good!"

Then he again raised his sword before him, "Once more!"

A hint of respect appeared in Shen Hongyi’s eyes, and she slowly raised her umbrella sword.

"This sword is named Gathering Clear Skies, and next is my full power strike, named Creation and Destruction! Prepare yourself!"

With her words, the aura surrounding Shen Hongyi began to surge at a maddening pace.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady’s face showed worry, but ultimately did not step forward to stop her.

Because she understood Xue An, or rather, understood the Hua Clan’s temperament.

Having chosen to face a powerful enemy alone, he clearly didn’t want others to intervene.

Just then, Shen Hongyi’s sword shot out like a dragon, aimed directly at Xue An.

In an instant, anyone witnessing this strike experienced a strange illusion.

As if the universe suddenly split into two, one real, one illusionary.

These stood facing each other, like opposing mirrors.

This strike appeared simultaneously in both illusions, slashing toward everyone present.

Indeed!

Though the Sword Intent pointed at Xue An, anyone seeing this strike felt as if it was aimed at them as well.

In terror, the timid among them immediately froze in fear.

Even the highly skilled turned pale, unable to resist.

But at this moment, a soft shout was heard.

"Three feet of blue steel, none can face me!"

As the words fell, Xue An, originally suppressed by the sword’s pressure, suddenly opened his mouth.

A white vapor burst forth, instantly forming a Sword Intent, directly meeting the strike.

Shen Hongyi’s pupils contracted sharply, "Spitting out your Sword Heart to resist me?"

Before she finished speaking, the two swords collided, then completely dissolved apart.

Shen Hongyi grunted, stepping back half a step.

This was the first time she retreated since appearing.

At the same time, those previously engulfed in fear revived suddenly, regaining their clarity.

Immediately followed by an uproar like a landslide and tsunami.

Every face was marked by deep panic.

Because none doubted that had Xue An not awakened them, everyone would have been dead.

Such Sword Intent was terrifying.

Even a mere glance could overturn life and death.

At this moment, Xue An took a deep breath, his face somewhat pale, but his eyes as deep as an ocean.

"Why?" He slowly uttered the three words.

Shen Hongyi laughed lightly, "There is no reason. My will is like a sword, human life like grass, since they are here today, their lives are not theirs to control!"

"And you’re the same!"
