Chapter 1261: Chapter 1258: Your People, I Killed! And You, Must Die Too! (Fourth Update)

Xing Yushu wanted to shout loudly, but when the words reached his lips, they were swallowed back along with the tears welling up in his eyes.

He looked deeply at the back of his grandfather as if to etch this scene deep into his memory, then turned and left without hesitation.

Revenge!

I must have revenge!

That was the only thought in Xing Yushu’s mind at that moment.

But how could the Demon Ghost King let him go so easily? With a bizarre laugh, it said, “Trying to run? But this is my territory, where do you think you can escape to?”

As it spoke, the Demon Ghost King pointed a finger, and Xing Yushu’s running form suddenly stiffened.

In front of him, the trees grew rapidly, forming a large green barrier that blocked his path.

Xing Yushu gritted his teeth and turned to run in the other direction, but just as the thought arose.

Green barriers began to emerge all around him, instantly creating a green prison ensnaring him tightly.

“No!” Xing Yuhe, engaged in a fierce battle with the Demon Ghost, shouted in despair at the sight, and took his eyes off the battle for a split second. A Demon Ghost stealthily lurked behind him and threw a punch.

Xing Yuhe couldn’t dodge in time, and like a kite with its string cut, he was blasted far away and then plummeted to the ground.

From the height he was at, an unobstructed fall would turn him into a pile of flesh on the spot.

Xing Yushu, trapped in the cage, screamed with desperation, “Grandfather!”

Then turned his head and yelled at the Demon Ghost King and Baili Shaoguang, “I’m going to kill you all!”

But the Demon Ghost King didn’t pay any attention to his roar.

Because with Xing Yushu’s strength, he didn’t even have the qualification to get a second glance.

The roar echoed in the wild, and all the residents of Demon-Sealing Town wore faces of utter despair.

Even a fool could see the situation for what it was.

Old Master Xing had been defeated, and the defeat was miserable; his life and death were unknown.

Xing Yushu was trapped in the cage, unable to do anything.

What awaited Demon-Sealing Town next was only one outcome: annihilation.

Being born in these tumultuous times, the residents of Demon-Sealing Town were no strangers to such fate.

Because the ancient towns and small cities hidden in the jungles were as numerous as hairs on an ox, and each had one outcome: death!

Demon-Sealing Town was no exception, but since the arrival of the Xing family’s grandfather and grandson, they had given these residents a sliver of hope.

A sliver of hope to keep living.

But today, even that shred of hope was shattered.

This despair, like being stuck in a quagmire, left all the residents with a numb expression on their faces.

The children, though understanding little, were influenced by the adults’ mood and lowered their heads, some even beginning to sob quietly.

Only Xiao Rui, despite being very afraid, her last thought unexpectedly was of Xue An.

I wonder how big brother is doing!

In reality, as long as he didn’t stay in this town, he could avoid death.

I wonder if he would be afraid?

Xiao Rui thought sorrowfully and stealthily turned her head to look at the spot where Xue An had just been standing.

But unexpectedly, there was no one there.

Xiao Rui was startled, what happened? Where did big brother go?

And just at that moment, seeing Xing Yuhe being blown away, Baili Shaoguang was overjoyed and couldn’t wait to leap up, wanting to seize the opportunity.

But just as she moved, she suddenly felt someone press down on her shoulder, forcing her firmly back to the ground, accompanied by a cold voice, “Don’t move!”

Baili Shaoguang’s hair stood on end, and without hesitation, she retaliated and demanded, “Who is it?”

Unfortunately, neither her counterattack nor her question received any response.

And at the same time.

Xing Yuhe, who was originally plummeting from mid-air, suddenly slowed his descent and ended up suspended in mid-air.

And before the void, a figure gradually materialized.

A youth in white garments, with a handsome visage and bright eyes.

Down below, Xiao Rui’s mouth gradually agape, her eyes filled with incredulous disbelief.

Because the figure that appeared in the void was none other than her big brother.

Xue An!

At the same time, his appearance astonished everyone present.

Especially Xing Yushu, trapped within a cage, who simply couldn’t believe his own eyes.

“You… you… .”

Struggling to speak, he couldn’t finish a proper sentence.

Xue Anchong gave him a faint smile, “No need to speak, just watch quietly!”

Xing Yushu’s face was a picture of stunned astonishment.

At this moment, Xue An slowly lifted his gaze and smiled at the distant Tree Demon Ghost.

“To walk the path of the ghosts with a body of plants and wood, you’ve indeed embarked on a unique journey!”

The Tree Demon Ghost stared intently at Xue An, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

For he suddenly found himself unable to see through this seemingly delicate youth, who looked almost like a woman.

Because he felt no aura from Xue An’s body, as ordinary as if he were just a mortal being.

But the question was, could a mere mortal stand in the void and converse so freely before him?

The Tree Demon Ghost was filled with astonishment and doubt.

On the ground, Baili Shaoguang was first stunned, then pointed at Xue An with a mix of shock and fear, “Was it you just now?”

Xue An nodded, “Yes, it was me. What about it?”

Baili Shaoguang’s expression turned gloomy, but he soon regained his composure and scoffed, “Impressive skills indeed, to appear beside me so stealthily!”

Xue An shook his head and said indifferently, “You’re wrong. It’s not that I’m skilled, but rather that your strength is too weak!”

Baili Shaoguang’s eyes instantly bulged.

Never before had anyone dared to say his strength was inadequate.

Therefore, he couldn’t help but roar, “You brat, you… .”

He didn’t finish his sentence.

Because as he was in a raging fury, Xue An gave him a cold glance.

Then Baili Shaoguang stood frozen on the spot, trembling violently.

Because he had never seen such a terrifying gaze before.

Being a member of the Ghost Sect, he had seen countless ferocious Demon Kings, but none were as fearsome or as intimidating as Xue An’s current look.

It was an almost extreme calmness, like a vast ocean.

Yet beneath this serene facade, there was an awe-inspiring supremacy that chilled the heart.

It was as if beholding a deity that oversaw eternity, invoking only worship and leaving no room for resistance in one’s heart.

With just one glance, Baili Shaoguang was utterly defeated, trapped within layers of illusions.

Of course, none of this was known to the onlookers. They only saw Xue An casually glance at Baili Shaoguang, who then began to shiver uncontrollably in place.

After that, Xue An finally lifted his gaze, looking at the Tree Demon Ghost with a smirk, and lightly said, “Didn’t you just ask who killed your concubine?”

“Now I can tell you, it was I who killed her!”

As these words fell, the countenance of the Tree Demon Ghost changed, and with a cold snort, he was about to speak.

Xue An smiled and waved his hand, “Don’t be so agitated! I’m telling you this just so that when you meet your demise shortly, you’ll be a bit more enlightened. How does that sound? Are you pleased?”
