Chapter 1262: Chapter 1259: The Finishing Touch, A Dragon’s Roar Shakes the Nine Heavens! (5th Update)

Boom!

These words exploded like a poke in a hornet’s nest, causing an uproar among the crowd.

It wasn’t until this moment that the residents of the small town finally woke up from their dreamlike state, then they looked up at Xue An, who was confronting the Tree Demon Ghost King in mid-air, and couldn’t help but stir.

“My heavens, isn’t that Mr. Xue? How did he suddenly get up into the sky?” an old man exclaimed in utter surprise.

“Indeed! Mr. Xue is incredibly bold, isn’t he?” someone else said in shock.

“What do we do now? Mr. Xue is simply too reckless!” another person said with a face full of regret.

Unlike the clamorous crowd, Xiao Rui and many other children all looked up to Xue An in the sky with admiration.

Especially Xiao Rui, her fists clenched tightly, her eyes brimming with hope.

She was convinced that Big Brother would definitely be able to eliminate these bad people.

Because in her eyes, there was nothing in the world that could trouble Big Brother.

The most astonished was Xing Yushu, who was trapped in a cage; he stared blankly at Xue An, as if the words he had just spoken to the Tree Demon Ghost King were still echoing in his ears.

What… what does that mean?

Could it be that he intends to defeat this Tree Demon Ghost King all by himself?

No sooner had this thought arisen than Xing Yushu found it preposterous himself.

Because it was truly too far-fetched to believe.

Sure enough.

The Tree Demon Ghost King, after a moment of stunned silence, started giggling eerily.

“Very good! Very good! Very good!”

After repeating ‘very good’ three times, the Tree Demon Ghost King then fixed his predatory gaze onto Xue An.

“Since you dare to admit that you killed them, that makes things easy! As for making me understand why I’ll be dying, should I thank you then?”

Xue An smiled and shook his head, “No need, because I generally don’t bother to be polite with the dead!”

A flash of icy contempt appeared in the Tree Demon Ghost King’s eyes.

He was no fool!

Quite the contrary, being a powerful ruler of this land of death, his mind was far clearer than the average person’s.

Xue An exuded a peculiar air all around, with no ripples of power, yet he gave off a feeling of profound and towering strength; this was proof that he was no ordinary man.

Moreover, even his own concubine, who was at the level of a True Immortal, had perished by his hand; this made it even clearer that this person’s abilities must be extraordinary.

Hence, the Tree Demon Ghost King did not underestimate his foe in the slightest.

“Boy, these words of yours represent exactly my sentiment! Now, die!”

When the Tree Demon Ghost King made his move, it was a mightily strong killing technique.

All of a sudden, within a thousand miles, every bit of vegetation withered instantaneously.

“All trees turn demons, purify this world!” With that roar from the Tree Demon Ghost King,

countless dark lights crazily converged in front of the Tree Demon Ghost King, and then after a tremble, they instantaneously transformed into soldiers clad in Black Armors.

So many in number that they blotted out the entire sky.

This display of power was enough to make heaven and earth change color.

The residents of Demon-Sealing Town turned pale as clay, speechless, while the more timid ones outright fell to the ground, shaking like chaff.

The Tree Demon Ghost King laughed loudly, “Kill them all for me!”

With that, he gestured, and the countless black-light soldiers turned into a black tide and rushed forward.

On witnessing this scene, Xing Yushu closed his eyes in despair within the cage.

He now clearly understood that Xue An was certainly no ordinary person.

But even if he was formidable, what then?

Faced with this army of ghost soldiers, even a Sword Immortal would be helpless.

So all he could do was close his eyes, unable to bear witnessing the destruction of the Demon-Sealing Town that had carried his youthful years.

But just at that moment, Xue An stood suspended in the air, looking at the endless tide of ghost soldiers surging towards him, suddenly smiled, then turned around and shouted towards the town: “Xiao Rui, do me a favor!”

His voice was clear and cold, yet it reached everyone’s ears.

Everyone was stunned, not understanding what Xue An was about to do.

Xiao Rui was also startled, then with some trepidation, she took a step forward, “Big brother, what’s the matter?”

Xue An smiled, then calmly said, “Didn’t I teach you how to draw before? Now I need your help to draw something!”

“Draw what?” Xiao Rui asked in astonishment.

At that moment, Xue An raised his hand and pointed, a strand of sword light flew into the top of Xiao Rui’s head, directly lifting her into the air and bringing her in front of the city gate.

Then Xue An calmly said, “I told you before, the dragon on the city gate cannot be completed with the finishing touch of its eyes, otherwise, it would fly away. You didn’t believe me, so now, I will let you all see, what it means to bring to life a dragon with the finishing stroke!”

Having said that, Xue An casually tossed over a brush, then smiled slightly at Xiao Rui, “Xiao Rui, draw the dragon’s eyes!”

Xiao Rui was trembling all over. She truly had followed Xue An to learn painting, but it was merely out of a child’s playful nature, never imagining there would be such an affair today.

Bear in mind that at this moment, her mother, as well as all the townspeople, were watching from below.

And further away, countless ghost soldiers were approaching.

Such a scene naturally caused the girl, who was merely over ten years old, to tremble uncontrollably, unable to speak.

“Big… big brother, I…”

Xue An smiled softly at her, “Go ahead, use your imagination, believe in yourself, you can do it!”

Somehow, when she saw Xue An’s smile, Xiao Rui suddenly felt less panicked, then she took a deep breath, earnestly nodded at Xue An, turned her head, and began to draw with the brush.

She had only followed Xue An to learn painting for half a day, so naturally, her skills were abysmal, and she was very slow.

And in the distance, the wave of ghost soldiers surged forward relentlessly.

This situation made the atmosphere throughout the place incredibly oppressive.

Xing Yushu had also opened his eyes, staring blankly, yet his eyes were full of desolation.

Because he felt that this was simply impossible.

Even if the dragon on the city gate could really come to life as Xue An said.

How could the eyes drawn by a child’s doodle possess any power?

Not just him, almost everyone present held the same belief.

But Xue An watched on smilingly, not in a hurry at all.

One breath, two breaths…

As those ghost soldiers drew closer and closer, to the point where one could clearly see the ghostly flames burning in their eyes from standing inside the town.

Yet, Xiao Rui still hadn’t finished drawing the eyes.

Feeling the extremely suppressive air around her, she couldn’t help but grow nervous, “Big brother…”

Xue An smiled, his voice gentle, “Don’t be afraid, keep drawing!”

Xiao Rui inhaled deeply, casting aside all thoughts in her mind, her little face became serious, then she lifted her hand and finished the final stroke.

It has to be said, the eyes that Xiao Rui drew were very unattractive.

But just as that final stroke was completed, the giant dragon seemingly came to life, its eyes shined with an extraordinary light.

Xiao Rui covered her mouth, dumbfounded.

In fact, not just her, nearly everyone present was dumbstruck.

Because at this moment, the earth and sky suddenly began trembling, a powerful aura started to emerge.

And then, they saw the giant dragon on the city gate, its scales beginning to materialize one by one, followed by its massive body, claws, tail…

When the giant head finally emerged from above the city gate, a dragon’s roar echoed throughout the land.

Wherever the sound waves passed, the ghost soldiers that had charged near could not even struggle, and they exploded together, turning to nothingness.

This was the might of a dragon’s roar that shook the heavens!
