Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2568: Chapter 2569: Sacrifice

"Back in the day..." Xue An suddenly spoke, his voice cold as ice, without a hint of emotion.

"When I first embarked on the path of cultivation, I once encountered an enemy who was, at the time, deemed unbeatable for me."

As he spoke, Xue An reached into his own chest with his hand.

Despite the torn flesh and flowing blood, his expression did not change in the slightest.

"This person once proclaimed that I would die without a burial place. At that time, no one thought I could survive, because with my strength back then, his words were as if they were a verdict, directly pronouncing my death sentence."

These words echoed in the air above the battlefield, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s expression changed slightly, but he sneered without a word.

Crack!

With the crisp sound of a bone breaking, Xue An broke a rib from his chest without changing his face and slowly pulled it out of his body.

The white rib traversed through the blood, giving off a strangely brutal beauty.

"But do you know what the eventual result was?"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi replied with a faint smile, "What was it?"

"The result was that the person who thought he controlled my life and death had turned to bones, while I had become a top-tier powerhouse, step by step, above millions!"

"What are you trying to tell me by saying this? You don’t think this time will be the same as before, do you?" Eastern Emperor Taiyi sneered, as if he had heard a joke.

Xue An shook his head, then gently wiped the remaining blood off the rib with his hand.

"You’re wrong. This time won’t be the same because the people I dealt with before were at least of the Human Clan, but you are a vile and filthy evil creature, so you won’t even have the chance to leave behind bones!"

As he said this, a fierce flame rose in Xue An’s eyes, and then he lightly thrust out the sword in his hand.

This sword was light as if a gust of wind could carry it away.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Xue An, I have to admit one thing: your mouth is really tough. Even in such dire straits, you still think of comforting yourself with such stories."

He said this without even looking at the sword thrust toward him because this bit of Sword Intent didn’t even have the chance to reach him.

Indeed.

The sword wind dissipated halfway, but Xue An was undaunted and reversed his hand to swing another sword.

This sword was slightly more powerful than before but only slightly.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi frowned, "Enough. I don’t have time to play such boring games with you here. Xue An, you’ve already lost completely, but since you refuse to concede, I’ll have to send you to your death."

As he said this, Eastern Emperor Taiyi gathered vast evil energy around him, and with a mere wave of his hand, Xue An flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the ruins of the arena.

But just as Eastern Emperor Taiyi thought the battle was over, a faint Sword Intent emerged from the dust and charged toward him.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi, annoyed and frustrated, suddenly became fiercely vicious.

"You’re asking for death!"

He said this as he struck down several times with his palm.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After a few loud explosions, the arena had completely collapsed into ruins.

But before Eastern Emperor Taiyi could catch his breath, Xue An’s figure staggered up once again from the cloud of dust.

At this moment, Xue An no longer had any of the dashing elegance of the noble young master he once was; his face was cut deeply by debris, his clothes were tattered, and his momentum was at the lowest point.

Yet even so, it didn’t stop Xue An from swinging another trembling sword.

This sword was stronger than before, at least able to penetrate layers of obstacles and reach Eastern Emperor Taiyi, making the clothes on his body flutter incessantly.

But that was all it did.

Xue An’s all-out sword only stirred a breeze, failing to cause Eastern Emperor Taiyi any harm.

Yet somehow, Eastern Emperor Taiyi felt an unprovoked panic in his heart.

Especially when he saw Xue An standing shakily, seeming as if he could fall at any moment, the unease reached its peak.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi did not understand what Xue An still relied on.

Did he really think that this bit of Sword Intent could kill him?

If not, then what was he persisting for?

This confusion mixed with a bit of fear drove Eastern Emperor Taiyi to madness.

"Ahhhhh Xue An, you’re forcing me!"

With a roar, Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s figure suddenly appeared in front of Xue An, then raised his hand for a palm strike.

If this palm were to hit, Xue An wouldn’t die but would be gravely injured.

But to Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s surprise, Xue An did not dodge. Instead, he took a step forward, closing in, and thrust his sword again.

This sword seemed much stronger, at least cutting off several strands of Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s hair with the sword wind.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi was nearly driven mad. He didn’t understand why things were like this.

Clearly, he was holding the absolute advantage, but in front of this guy, he found himself restrained at every turn.

So Eastern Emperor Taiyi, out of rage, ignored the sword thrust at him, turning his palm into a fist and smashing it down hard.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Xue An’s bones shattered inch by inch, and he was thrown back like a rag doll.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s face turned extremely grim and terrifying, and the hand that struck Xue An kept trembling uncontrollably.

To be honest, he truly did not want to end Xue An’s life with his own hands.

That’s why he repeatedly set traps, trying to force Xue An to end himself or die at others’ hands.

Even when taking action himself, he tried to harm him from a distance to avoid staining his hands with Xue An’s blood.

The reason being, killing Xue An carried consequences too severe, so severe that even his backer boss wouldn’t dare to bear them lightly.

But things had come to this point; he could only personally finish it.

He hoped that the celestial mechanism was completely chaotic by now, concealing everything that had happened.

With this thought silently crossing his mind, Eastern Emperor Taiyi turned to leave.

But as he turned, a cold Sword Intent abruptly approached his back, causing him to shudder all over. He instinctively sidestepped, narrowly avoiding the strike.

Then he witnessed an unbelievable scene.

He saw that Xue An, whose bones and meridians he had just smashed to pieces, and whose Cultivation Level should have been completely wasted, was actually getting up slowly.

The sword aimed at him had been thrust by Xue An in such a state.

"How... how is this even possible?" Eastern Emperor Taiyi could barely believe his eyes.

Under the force of his full-strength punch, even a Saint in their prime would have to face certain death.

Let alone Xue An, who was already severely injured.

Suddenly!

It was as if he had thought of something, crying out in a hoarse voice, "Karmic cause, you sacrificed it?"
