Chapter 258 It's Just Death

The black figure quickly jumped between Xu Han and the swordsman.

"Miao!"

It let out a long and mournful scream. In its amber eyes, its black pupils became narrow and long, revealing the anger in its heart at this moment.

"Xuan'er!" Xu Han was shocked. Just as he was about to take action to protect Xuan'er, the swordsman's blade had already landed on Xuan'er's body.

At that time, black demonic energy surged out from Xuan'er's body. Its body instantly transformed into a wolf-sized figure. It used its body to directly meet the swordsman's blade regardless.

Xu Han didn't even have time to be surprised that Xuan'er still had this kind of ability. He was shocked, and the blade of the sword had already landed on Xuan'er's body.

"Meow!"

Xuan'er let out a muffled snort. The demonic energy around her dissipated and returned to its normal size. She fell into Xu Han's embrace, and a shocking wound appeared on her back that was deeply visible to the bones.

At that time, purple-red blood spilled out and splashed onto Xu Han's face.

At that time, the dispirited Xuan'er raised its head and looked at Xu Han with difficulty. It stretched out its tongue and gently licked Xu Han's fingers, as if it wanted to comfort Xu Han. However, after doing so, a boundless sense of tiredness surged into its heart. It tilted its head and fainted in Xu Han's embrace.

Everyone hadn't expected such a change, and the middle-aged swordsman hadn't expected it either. He was stunned for a moment, but then a wisp of ecstasy appeared on his face.

"Demon! Demon!" He pointed at the black cat in Xu Han's arms and said loudly.

"I didn't expect Manor Chief Xu to have a monster with him!" It was as if he had discovered a huge treasure trove, and his expression was so fanatical that it was almost twisted.

Ever since thousands of years ago, when the demon race had been driven to the depths of the 100,000 mountains, the word demon was taboo to humans, regardless of which dynasty they were from. In fact, whenever the demon race appeared in the mortal world, it would attract a large number of cultivators or the imperial army to encircle and exterminate them.

And a monster appeared beside Xu Han. If this news reached the ears of those great figures in Chang'an, it would be enough to use this to make Tiance Prefecture a target of public criticism. As the discoverer of this news, he helped the big shots get rid of their inner troubles, and he would be rewarded with enough money to spend his entire life drinking and drinking.

How could such a thing not make the man ecstatic?

"Ziyu." Ye Hongjian regained her senses after a short moment of absent-mindedness. From the beginning, she could tell that the black cat beside Xu Han was extremely unusual, but she never thought that Xuan'er was actually a monster. However, she naturally wouldn't do anything that would harm Xu Han. She sank her brows and called out to Fang Ziyu, who was also frightened out of his wits by this scene.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Fang Ziyu finally regained his senses.

She turned her head to look at Ye Hongjian, her eyebrows still filled with shock and doubt.

"Go block the door." However, Ye Hongjian did not have the mood to pay attention to the doubts in Fang Ziyu's heart at this moment. She said with a calm brow and a tone that was almost commanding.

Fang Ziyu was stunned again, but this time, she quickly came to her senses.

Things had already reached such a stage that she was no longer willing to give herself up to Lin Kai to settle them. If news of this monster spread, Xu Han and Tian Ce would probably be annihilated.

Fortunately, this matter happened too quickly, and no one outside the Tian Ce Mansion saw it.

The best and only way to solve this problem was to kill this middle-aged swordsman!

Fang Ziyu understood the reason behind this. He immediately put away his other thoughts and walked to the entrance of the Tian Ce Mansion, holding his sword and guarding it. At that time, Ye Hongjian also pulled out her sword from her waist and looked at the middle-aged swordsman with a cold expression.

The swordsman smiled contemptuously at their actions.

With his cultivation, he could naturally tell that Ye Hongjian and Fang Ziyu were only cultivators in the Netherpassage Realm. How could he be afraid of them?

"The two beauties also want to play with me?" The swordsman smiled sinisterly as he waved his sword. As if there was a surge of sword intent, it turned into a faintly visible python behind him.

"True Spirit?" Seeing this, Ye Hongjian couldn't help but exclaim.

Ordinary cultivators would be able to convert true energy into true essence when they reached the Nether Opening Realm, thus releasing their auras and reaching the realm of using weapons to control objects. For example, Fang Ziyu's swordsmanship of turning a sword into a hundred swords in one hand was like this.

After breaking through the Nether Opening Realm and reaching the Heavenly Hunt Realm. Cultivators' bodies were fundamentally different from ordinary people's. At this time, they could condense their True Essence into a True Spirit.

This True Spirit could be anything, a saber, a sword. For example, the Black Dragon that Sikong Bai could conjure was the form that cultivated the True Spirit to the extreme, and it was the python behind the middle-aged swordsman.

Of course, it would take a great deal of time for a cultivator to survive. At the same time, it would also be a test of a cultivator's talent. Cultivators who could condense True Spirit in the Heavenly Hunt Realm were extremely rare. Every single one of them could be called a genius. The true spirit that this middle-aged swordsman had condensed was clearly not a complete true spirit. The light around him could be faintly seen, and it was far from being condensed into substance. But even so, the appearance of this incomplete True Spirit made Fang Ziyu and the others realize how difficult it was to defeat this swordsman.

However, Ye Hongjian did not have any intention of giving up. She held her sword and stared at the swordsman. Her pretty face was now covered in frost.

Then, he pointed to Xuan'er, who was hugging Xuan'er, whose life and death were unknown. Xu Han lowered his head and asked calmly, "Do you know who he is?"

The swordsman was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then replied very easily, "Lord Xu, how could I not know?"

"But if Little Beauty wants to use the title of Tian Ce Mansion 's Manor Master to suppress her, isn't it too naive?" The swordsman sneered, "Moreover, if I return with the news of this monster, I'm afraid that even the Tian Ce Mansion will not be able to protect it, let alone Manor Master Lao Shizi."

Ye Hongjian's face did not show any indignation after hearing the man's mocking words.

She shook her head lightly and said slowly in a calm voice, "His name is Xu Han."

"It's my husband, Ye Hongjian."

"Huh?" The swordsman was stunned again. Obviously, he did not expect Ye Hongjian to say such a thing. But very quickly, his expression became arrogant again. He mocked, "So what?"

"Nothing."

Ye Hongjian shook her head again, but the aura around her suddenly surged after a short silence.

At that time, her red clothes were blown by the cold wind from somewhere, and her sleeves were raised randomly.

She stood there like a blazing flame.

A pair of enormous wings slowly stretched out from within the flames.

Heng!

Along with a loud cry, a divine bird phantom that was covered in flames appeared behind her, and it spread its wings and let out a loud cry.

At that time, Ye Hongjian also raised her head and looked at the swordsman.

The corners of her mouth curled up as she spoke softly.

"Only death."
