Ch66 - Extra 1.2

In Ji Qinghuai’s memory, the name Shen Xie represented an era. Seeing the person himself, he felt as if he had crossed into another period. He looked carefully at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in front of him. It took a long time before he reacted and turned to look at Xie Yan.

The reason why Shen Xie’s face felt familiar was that, after careful consideration, his features were somewhat similar to Xie Yan’s. The two of them were uncle and nephew, so it was natural for them to share some similarities.

Naturally, Xie Yan wouldn’t be as curious as Ji Qinghuai when he saw his relative and was the first to greet, “Master.”

His voice also called back Ji Qinghuai’s thoughts. He blinked and smiled, “Uncle.”

Shen Xie glanced at Ji Qinghuai.

Xie Yan was Shen Xie’s nephew. It wasn’t wrong for Ji Qinghuai to call him ‘Uncle‘ but Shen Xie knew in his heart that he had used it for an ulterior motive. This kid probably had a grudge because of Shen Qiuli’s incident, so he did it on purpose. Which pot should be opened and which shouldn't was clear.

Qin Lang and Ye An obediently called out “Uncle Shen” as well. Because he was a little nervous, he secretly grabbed Qin Lang’s hand.

Shen Xie walked past them slowly towards the stone table in the garden and sat down unhurriedly. He raised his eyes to look at a few people, “For you to come today, is there any problem?”

“I want to invite Master to our wedding and witness our marriage.” Xie Yan said.

“That’s easy.” Shen Xie said casually, “I’ll go if you can beat me.”

Xie Yan: “…”

Are you serious?

Ye An whispered to Qin Lang, “Shall we go together?”

Shen Xie laughed at this, “Sure.”

“I didn’t mean that…” Ye An was a little embarrassed.

“Take your time, I’ll call my father first and tell him that you’re bullying us.”

Shen Xie: “…”

He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, “You dare?”

That pleased smile and smug tone were full of provocation. Ji Qinghuai was an infamous demon king, apart from Ji Xianzhi, who was he afraid of?

So what if his opponent was the God of war? Don’t be cowardly!

Ji Qinghuai was confident and calm, “Please enlighten me, Master.”

Xie Yan: “…”

In fact, Xie Yan always felt that Ji Qinghuai’s bold nature was admirable, but sometimes it was quite a headache, such as now.

A few simple moves would be harmless, but if it was the real thing…

On second thought, Shen Xie wouldn’t take it seriously, so he didn’t say anything and stood aside with others.

However, Ji Qinghuai didn’t think so. He hoped that Shen Xie would treat this as a real fight. He wanted to see how powerful this God of War, who his father had followed for many years, was.

But then, Ji Qinghuai saw Shen Xie put his right hand behind him. “I won’t bully you, therefore, I’ll only use one hand. If you can make me use my right hand, you win.”

In his heart, he thought, ‘Who are you looking down on?’ but Ji Qinghuai politely said, “Then Uncle, excuse me.”

As soon as he spoke, he made a move straight away.

The powerful demonic energy surged head-on towards Shen Xie, but he stood still, neither avoiding nor dodging. When Ji Qinghuai closed in on him, Shen Xie’s figure suddenly disappeared.

Ji Qinghuai reacted very quickly and immediately spun around, greeting the other with his palm.

The two demonic forces clashed and flooded the surroundings.

Their initial confrontation was only a means of testing each other’s strength. After that, the two of them exchanged a hundred moves in succession. Facing Shen Xie, Ji Qinghuai didn’t dare to be careless. Both of them chose to fight head-on, not sparing their energy.

Shen Xie also kept his promise, not using his right hand the entire time. Under Ji Qinghuai’s strong attack, Shen Xie took the palm that was directed at his head, causing him to retreat half a step, and was stunned.

Ji Qinghuai withdrew his demonic energy, spun around and landed steadily on the ground, smiling openly in front of everyone, “The God of War, only so-so.”

Everyone: “…”

Shen Lian: I’m afraid I’ll be beaten.

Xie Yan rubbed his forehead, I’m screwed.

Qin Lang: Damn it! Who gave you the confidence to say that!!!

Only Ye An was excited, my male god is so handsome!

The person in question, Shen Xie, laughed angrily.

Only so-so?

Very good.

Shen Xie asked Ji Qinghuai, “Still fighting?”

Just as Xie Yan was about to open his mouth to stop him, Ji Qinghuai was one step ahead of him and shouted, “Fight!”

Xie Yan: “…”

“Not bad.” Shen Xie praised him and rose into the air. With a gentle smile, he slowly raised his hand. A strand of scarlet condensed in his palm and raised a fierce wind with it.

Without waiting for Ji Qinghuai to figure out what was going on, the condensed red light slowly dissipated and an additional weapon appeared in front of Shen Xie.

It was a black sword glinting with a cold light. Even though it had been asleep for nearly a thousand years, the murderous aura on the sword hadn’t diminished by even half.

“This is…” The word was about to come out, but Ji Qinghuai remained silent.

Demon Slaying Sword.

Thousands of miles of Kyushu were stained with blood and buried in bones. The Demon Slaying Sword only appeared to cut down the chaos. With the appearance of a divine artefact, the wind and clouds changed colour.

Ji Qinghuai was dumbfounded, “It really came out?”

“Otherwise?”

“Are you kidding me?”

At the same time, the Demonic Slaying Sword abruptly transformed into millions of sword shadows and flew straight toward Ji Qinghuai.

Xie Yan was startled and exclaimed, “Master, please show mercy!”

Seeing that it was useless, Xie Yan didn’t care about anything else and immediately walked to Ji Qinghuai’s side, opening a defensive barrier to protect him.

Regardless of how far Shen Xie’s strength had reached today, the power of this Demon Slaying Sword by itself cannot be underestimated. The barrier was weakened a little by the sword’s tyrannical attack and even with Xie Yan and Ji Qinghuai’s combined efforts, they still struggled to support it.

Ji Qinghuai tilted his head and shouted at Shen Xie, “You said you would only use one hand, why are you suddenly using weapons, you’re cheating!”

Shen Xie turned a deaf ear.

Qin Lang turned to Ye An, “Protect yourself, I’ll go help them.”

“En.”

With another source of demonic energy, the situation stabilized. Shen Xie floated in the sky with his hands behind his back and looked down at them.

“Today, I want to see how capable you little brats are.”

After that, the Demon Slaying Sword glowed a crimson radiance and countless tiny cracks instantly appeared on the barrier.

Xie Yan frowned. It can’t go on like this.

Xie Yan looked at Ji Qinghuai. The two of them shared the same heart, and with just one look, Ji Qinghuai understood Xie Yan’s intentions and nodded in response.

Jie Qinghuai and Qin Lang were entrusted with supporting the barrier while Xie Yan leapt out and landed behind Shen Xie lightly.

“Master, we’ve offended you.”

After saying these words respectfully, Xie Yan gathered his demonic energy and attacked Shen Xie’s back. The fierce wind ruffled Shen Xie’s long hair, covering the handsome face. Only his profound crimson eyes were exposed.

This duel was destined to be a mess. The powerful demonic force, along with the roaring wind made Ye An unable to keep his eyes open. He could only turn back alone and hide behind a pot of orchids growing at his height.

On the other side, Xie Yan and Shen Xie exchanged hundreds of moves in a row, but he was constantly suppressed. Everything he learned had been taught by Shen Xie and Shen Lian. Shen Xie was familiar with every move and every style Xie Yan pulled out. Coupled with the gap in power between them, Xie Yan found it difficult to find an advantage.

Moreover, Xie Yan knew that Shen Xie wasn’t using his full strength and he was even controlling the Demon Slaying Sword at the same time, not giving Ji Qinghuai and Qin Lang a moment to relax and escape.

More and more cracks appeared on the barrier, threatening to break at any moment. Even if he persisted, it would not last long. Ji Qinghuai was driven to the extreme. He bit his teeth and decided to let go.

“Little cutie, hold on!”

Ji Qinghuai jumped up and pressed his palms together. A soft white glow appeared in his palms and when he separated them, Ji Qinghuai was holding a silver weapon pointing up to the sky.

The little fox behind the flowerpot stared at the silver spear in Ji Qinghuai’s hand.

That is…

Divine Holmium Spear.

Shen Lian remembered that the last time the Demon Slayer Sword fought against the Divine Holmium Spear was a thousand years ago.

Ji Qinghuai didn’t know what happened in the past but now he just wanted a quick battle. Whether he won or lost, he would be happy.

Holding the Divine Holmium Spear in one hand, Ji Qinghuai raised it high into the sky. Bolts of lightning came crashing through the black clouds, accompanied by the roaring of thunder and condensed at the tip of the Divine Holmium Spear. Ji Qinghuai’s other hand clasped onto the body of the spear and using the momentum of the lightning and thunder, he slashed downwards.

At this moment, Shen Xie finally got serious. The sword shadows attacking in the air returned to their origin. Shen Xie held the sword with one hand and stepped forward.

The two divine weapons clashed, causing the ground to shake violently.

The strong wind swirled around them, drawing in everything. Even the little fox behind the flowerpot was lifted above the ground. He could only grasp the edge of the flowerpot with two front paws desperately.

No, I can’t hold it!

Immediately afterwards, the flower pot was also pulled in and the little fox felt weightless. Seeing that it was about to roll away, its body was caught by a slender and fair hand, before it was smoothly carried in his arms.

The little fox turned its head, its big round eyes looking at the perfectly sculpted man in front of it. It seemed to be curious about something and blinked its eyes twice, looking very cute with a dumbfounded expression.

Shen Lian touched its head and smiled gently.

At this point, it was time to wrap up the duel. Without the sword formation holding him back, Qin Lang also flew forward and stood on one side with Ji Qinghuai and Xie Yan, surrounding Shen Xie.

Two sources of demonic energy poured out and were absorbed by the Holmium Spear and Ji Qinghuai also poured all of his demonic energy into it before stabbing it towards Shen Xie.

With a loud “bang”, four different demonic forces collided together, knocking Xie Yan and Qin Lang out. Ji Qinghuai was dumbfounded, and before he had time to think about why he was safe, a figure quietly appeared in front of him.

Shen Xie raised his hand and smacked Ji Qinghuai’s head.

With a ‘poof’, Ji Qinghuai turned into a silver gradient cat and fell to the ground.

Ji Qinghuai was still confused.

What just happened?

By the time you react, it’s too late.

Ji Qinghuai: “…”

How can you do this kind of thing! I don’t want to lose my face!

Unacceptable!!!

The kitten puffed up its fur in anger. Just then, the scene in front of everyone suddenly changed and everything in the garden was restored to what it looked like when they first arrived.

The little fox jumped to the ground and turned into a handsome, sunny boy with a puzzled expression on his face.

“It’s just an illusion.” Shen Lian explained. “But everything that happened just now is real, just in a different place, I won’t let you turn over my garden.”

Ye An was stunned.

When he first came here, he heard that Mr Shen was good at making illusions, and today, he was able to witness it with his own eyes.

Xie Yan looked at the kitten scratching the grass on the ground. He bent over to pick it up, but the kitten was unwilling. It not only avoided Xie Yan but also swiped its paw at him.

Xie Yan: “…”

Shen Xie glanced at the cat on the ground, picked it up directly from behind and threw it into Xie Yan’s arms.

Ji Qinghuai: “…”

Not waiting for the kitten to explode again, Shen Xie said with a smile, “Young Master Ji, only so-so.”

Ji Qinghuai: “…”

The kitten stopped making a fuss and buried its face in Xie Yan’s arms.

No more face left.

Xie Yan was helpless. It seemed that apart from Ji Xianzhi, only his Master could beat the Demon King, Ji Qinghuai.
