The viper scoffed, "Protect? What childish joke are you talking about!"
With a roar, he lunged toward Xiao Huhai.
With incredible speed, it had already reached Xiao Huhai in the blink of an eye. The giant sword roared and swept out, stirring up a gale in the void.
Faced with this terrifyingly powerful sword strike, Xiao Huhai remained calm, raising his long sword and holding it upright in front of him.
"clang--"
The greatsword struck the longsword, instantly dispelling the surging sword intent and leaving only a gust of wind that spread outwards.
Seeing this, the viper's lips twitched, and it swung its giant sword to slash at Xiao Huhai from different directions.
A horizontal slash to the upper right, a horizontal cut to the upper left—each sword strike contained an extremely terrifying power. The void was almost torn apart wherever the giant sword swept past.
Despite the fierce slashes, Xiao Huhai remained calm and composed, repeatedly raising his longsword to block the terrifying giant sword that was falling.
No matter how powerful the strike, it was completely neutralized the moment it came into contact with the longsword, leaving only a gust of wind.
"clang--"
Xiao Huhai blocked another sword strike from Viper, then his eyes darkened, and he pushed hard, the power of the sword sweeping out, causing Viper to stagger back several steps.
He had barely steadied himself when he felt a terrifying killing intent coming from the front.
Just then, Little Hu Hai rushed in front of him, his long sword drawing an arc as it fell straight towards the viper's face.
Viper roared, and his aura surged wildly. He gripped the greatsword tightly with both hands and held it in front of him, and his aura continuously flowed towards the greatsword and gathered on it.
"Bang!"
With a single sword strike, Xiao Huhai unleashed a surge of power, sending the viper flying like a cannonball, crashing straight to the ground.
As the loud noise came, the earth trembled slightly, and dust billowed up, engulfing the viper's body.
A moment later, a figure flew out from the dust, appearing in front of Xiao Huhai in a flash. He dragged the giant sword behind him and slashed at Huhai with a fierce blow.
Faced with this incredibly violent sword strike, Xiao Huhai simply raised his sword and firmly blocked it.
A strong wind rose, causing Xiao Huhai's robes to flutter.
His small body stood there, yet at that moment it seemed like a great mountain.
No matter how hard the viper tries, it cannot overcome it.
He frowned, staring at Xiao Huhai with eyes full of doubt. "Impossible! This is impossible!"
Just now, he was in the dominant position, far surpassing Xiao Huhai in both speed and strength, leaving him powerless to fight back.
But in the blink of an eye, Xiao Huhai underwent a dramatic change, as if he had become a completely different person.
He was utterly powerless against such a young Hu Hai.
Xiao Huhai's eyes were cold and deep. With a flick of his wrist, he swung his longsword toward the viper's face.
His eyes darkened, and with a roar, he gripped the greatsword tightly with both hands and slashed at it. The sword intent filled the sky, pressing down on Xiao Huhai like rolling thunder.
They were clearly preparing to confront him head-on.
"Bang!"
However, the gap in strength was still too great.
When the two swords clashed, the viper was sent flying by the powerful force, crashing into a wall like a meteor, which instantly cracked into a spiderweb.
His figure slid down the wall to the ground, and before he could stand up, a sword light flashed past.
"Zzz!"
A gash that almost pierced through the viper's body tore open in its chest, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
The powerful sword intent of this strike not only severely injured his body but also nearly shattered his cultivation.
His pupils began to dilate, and the greatsword in his hand clattered to the ground; his life was slowly slipping away.
He stared at Xiao Huhai with eyes full of resentment, and with his last strength asked, "How long have you been practicing swordsmanship?"
Little Hu Hai looked at him calmly, "September."
The viper's pupils contracted sharply, then it forced out a sound from its throat, "Why? Why did I lose?!"
He didn't understand, and he was even more unwilling to accept it.
He was a genius from a young age, and after decades of diligent sword practice, he killed countless masters and beheaded countless sword cultivators who were hailed as prodigies.
But now, he has been defeated by someone who has been practicing swordsmanship for no more than nine months and is still a child.
Little Hu Hai looked at him and said, "If your will is not firm, your sword will be weak."
The viper's eyes flickered slightly. "You mean...?"
Then his body fell to the ground with a "thud," and he was no longer alive.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Huhai's body went limp, and he knelt down on the ground.
He had fought to the point where he had exceeded his physical limits, but he only felt at ease collapsing after watching Viper fall.
Seeing this, Consort Shu quickly stepped forward to support Little Hu Hai, "Little Hu Hai!"
Seeing the little guy covered in injuries, Consort Shu felt heartbroken and tears streamed down her face. "I'm sorry, you've suffered so much, I'm so sorry."
She felt extremely guilty. If she were stronger, she wouldn't have ended up not only unable to protect Yu'er, but also needing a child to protect her.
Little Hu Hai looked at Consort Shu and forced a smile.
He reached out his little hand and wiped away the tears on Consort Shu's face. "Mother, don't cry."
“I’m really happy that you and your brother are alright.”
After saying this, he could no longer hold on and fainted in Consort Shu's arms.
······
As the black horse came to a stop, the elegant young man in white dismounted and walked into the village.
A busy woman at the village entrance saw Fusu, quickly put down her hoe, and ran towards the village.
As she ran, she shouted, "Young Master is back!"
"Young Master is back!"
Upon hearing this, many men stopped what they were doing and rushed towards the village entrance.
The leader was an elderly man in a green robe, with a full head of white hair and a white beard that flowed down his clothes.
Upon seeing Fusu, the old man hurriedly went to greet him, "Young master, you've finally returned!"
