Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Three Swords to Destroy the Demon

Purple Sun Mountain, mountaintop cave mansion.

The Golden Dawn Ancestor opened her eyes, her graceful figure rising. Dressed in a purple palace robe, she seemed both elegant and noble, captivatingly beautiful.

“Interesting.”

Sensing something, the Golden Dawn Ancestor walked barefoot, her form flickering, and she reached the top of Purple Sun Mountain in an instant.

The night wind was chilly, with bits of starlight in the sky.

The Golden Dawn Ancestor gazed into the distance.

Five thousand miles away, demonic energy surged, evil qi fluctuated, and death qi lingered.

“If I don’t act, the Lu Family will surely perish tonight, along with hundreds of thousands of mortals.”

“A few mere rats dare to sneak into my home to feast, they deserve to die.”

The Golden Dawn Ancestor spoke, a flash of annoyance on her breathtaking face, and beneath her graceful figure, terrifying power erupted. Light flickered on her palm, and a three-foot-long Dragon Pattern Treasure Sword appeared, emitting bursts of sword cries, like a celestial dragon roaring.

Sword Seal light glimmered on her brow, adding a sense of heroism and transcendence.

“Annihilate!”

The Golden Dawn Ancestor shook her longsword, thrusting out three times.

Three streaks of Sword Qi tore through the night sky, transforming into eternal rays that vanished into the distance.

The Golden Dawn Ancestor sheathed her sword and returned to her cave mansion.

Lying on the bed, she closed her eyes to rest, as if nothing had happened.

…

It’s over!

At that moment, the blood-red Demon Saber slashed down.

A trace of despair flashed in the Grand Elder’s eyes.

Then a light appeared.

This light was so fast, exceeding the eye’s capacity to capture it.

By the time the eyes saw it, the light had already struck Old Demon Fang’s body.

Bam!

The light pierced through Old Demon Fang’s body.

Then, the body of this half-step Purple Mansion demon exploded, like fireworks blossoming in the night, displaying beauty.

Swish!

At that moment, another light appeared, and by the time it reached the eyes, it had split into ten rays, striking ten demon cultivators, whose bodies then exploded.

The third light appeared but didn’t attack the remaining demon cultivators; instead, it aimed at Beichen County.

Grand Elder: “…”

The demon heads: “…”

Everyone was stunned, dumbfounded!

A half-step Purple Mansion demon, and ten Foundation Establishment demon cultivators, were struck by the light and fell on the spot.

The demonic bodies were shattered to dust by the light.

“No, this is supreme Sword Qi, this is the supreme Sword Qi of a Sword Cultivator!”

“An unparalleled elder has struck, slaying us from a distance!”

“Not good!”

Hesitating for less than three seconds, the remaining demon cultivators fled in panic, disregarding everything else.

No one cared about the Grand Elder anymore.

Escape is life.

Escape is life.

They are demon cultivators, selfish beings, but not desperados.

Facing an unstoppable enemy, they choose to run rather than foolishly resist.

“Who is it, which senior has acted!”

The Grand Elder took out an elixir, consumed it, and carefully observed the ashes on the ground.

Sensing a faint trace of Sword Qi.

This was not a mere light, but Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi was so fast, it seemed like a light.

Under the attack of Sword Qi, eleven demon cultivators were easily killed, like ants being squashed; the remaining five demon cultivators fled like stray dogs.

“Which ancestor has acted?”

“Sword Cultivator.”

“The only Sword Cultivator nearby is Ancestor Jin.”

“This place is about five thousand miles from Purple Sun Mountain, shooting Sword Qi from five thousand miles away to kill eleven demon cultivators, what formidable means Golden Dawn Ancestor has.”

The Grand Elder pondered, a look of fear flashing in his heart.

“But why didn’t Golden Dawn Ancestor kill the remaining five demon cultivators?”

The Grand Elder was somewhat puzzled but after a brief thought, he understood.

If all the demon cultivators were killed, there would be no one to spread the story of this battle’s achievements; leaving those five demon cultivators was just right to use them to spread the fame of Golden Dawn Ancestor, deterring demon cultivators from daring to intrude.

…

After a short pause, the Grand Elder headed to Beichen County.

When he arrived at the county city, there were traces of Demon Fire burning on the city walls, gaps where the Demon Saber cut through, the Grand Array had already been breached.

But at the gap, he saw six piles of ashes scattered on the ground.

Alas!

Six demon cultivators had already been reduced to ashes by Golden Dawn Ancestor with a strike of Sword Qi.

“Ancestor’s mercy!”

The Grand Elder spoke respectfully.

At that moment, a man and a woman appeared at the breach in the city wall.

The man appeared mature for his age, wearing a white Daoist robe, with deep eyes that seemed to contain endless creation; the woman was strikingly beautiful, with snowy skin and graceful charm, possessing not only city-toppling beauty but also a gentle elegance.

It was Lu Xuanji and Ye Feixue.

Lu Xuanji spoke: “Just now, a light flashed, and five demon cultivators died.”

“It was Ancestor Jin’s action.”

The Grand Elder spoke respectfully.

“Ancestor Jin.”

In Lu Xuanji’s thoughts flashed the image of a breathtaking woman, a graceful figure, snowy skin, long legs, and those eyes with a domineering gaze.

When a woman is outstanding enough, discussing her appearance and praising her for unprecedented beauty becomes a form of desecration.

“This place is five thousand miles from Purple Sun Mountain… to shoot Sword Qi from five thousand miles away and directly kill over ten demon cultivators, it’s too terrifying.” Lu Xuanji calculated the distance, the energy loss during movement, positioning, and so on.

It seemed somewhat impossible.

“Golden Core Ancestor’s life span approaches a thousand years, proficient in various secret techniques and deadly moves, not something we can fathom. If not at the Golden Core Realm, never try to fathom how strong a Golden Core Ancestor is,” advised the Grand Elder, “Xuanji, you lack awe, which is a good thing but also a bad thing, weigh it carefully.”

“By the way, the spirit stones on the demon cultivators and all the material items and so forth should be sent to Purple Sun Mountain as these are the spoils of Ancestor Jin. Despite Ancestor Jin perhaps not caring, we can’t ignore them!” the Grand Elder instructed, “Without Ancestor Jin, the Lu Family would be doomed. You should deliver them to Purple Sun Mountain tomorrow.”

“Xuanji understands!”

Lu Xuanji nodded.

…

Purple Sun Mountain, within the cave mansion.

Lu Xuanji lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep or enter meditation for cultivation, instead reflecting on the night’s events.

Tonight the Lu Family faced great peril, nearly being wiped out.

But those three distant sword strikes killed eleven demon cultivators, and the Lu Family turned from danger to safety, becoming safe again.

At least the demon cultivators, for now, dare not make an assault.

The once weak Lu Family now had a chance to breathe.

To the Lu Family, this was a tremendous favor.

“Phone, calculate the strength of that sword?”

[Calculating Destiny]

[That sword, a strike from a Golden Core Sword Cultivator, could kill Purple Mansion cultivators from afar]

[That sword, from trigger to target hit, took only three seconds]

[That sword possesses the Power of Cause and Effect, with cause as the aim and effect as Sword Qi, by the time the cause is sensed, the Sword Qi has already been unleashed]

[Some concepts exceed calculation scope, belonging to metaphysical aspects, unable to deduce]

[Calculation hits a bottleneck, unable to proceed!]

Just then, the phone emitted a stuck sound, unable to perform calculations, unable to calculate further.

“Damn phone!”

Swearing in his heart, Lu Xuanji began to fall asleep, exhausted from the night’s battle.

Needing sleep, comforting himself.
