"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!..."
Fireflies danced in the sky as eight flying swords pierced the air, instantly leaving countless gashes on the Black Wind Thief's abnormal body.
Blood gushed from the wound, but it wasn't red; instead, it was purplish, and the air was filled with a foul stench.
"...Hooray..."
A strange roar came from the Black Wind Thief's mouth.
The fourth prince, Yongheng, wearing a ghost mask, had no visible expression, but his icy tone came from beneath the mask.
"Demon, prepare to die!"
As he brandished his longsword, eight flying swords drew circles in the air, and a muffled sound suddenly filled the air.
The ordinary people present couldn't see it, but Hua did see something. Yong Heng had just commanded the flying sword to stab no less than ten thousand times in an instant. The sound couldn't even keep up with the speed of the sword's thrust, so it only became one strike.
"Can a mortal be this strong?"
I felt like I learned something new. Although I know that the best among humans can also cultivate, their cultivation level is often not very high due to their lifespan.
Compared to the lifespans of gods, immortals, demons, and monsters, which can easily last for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, the abilities of mortals are far too limited.
Sword control, like weapon control, is not uncommon in the realm of gods, but for a mortal to be able to control a sword to this extent is truly incredible!
If he were given a natal artifact to wield, it's suspected that Yong Heng could even rival these immortals!
Under such an attack, the Black Wind Bandits were naturally hacked to pieces and turned into a pile of minced meat.
But to everyone's astonishment, the mass of flesh began to writhe and crawl like a snake, and suddenly many mouths and eyes appeared on it.
"mother……"
"Wow……!"
"It hurts, it hurts so much!"
"Fireflies! Fireflies!"
...
The sounds of children's voices, accompanied by the cries of an infant, emanated from the mixture of eyes and mouth on the ground, creating an eerie atmosphere that sent chills down the spines of everyone present.
"What the hell is this thing?"
Even Yong Heng was somewhat unsettled. He had killed the Black Wind Bandits, but things had become troublesome and difficult.
The black wind bandit in front of me, now turned into a pulp, seemed to be able to endlessly spew out flesh and blood, and the sounds it made were eerie and cruel.
If left unchecked, he even felt that this thing would engulf the entire Huijin City!
"Let go, this is not something you can handle."
At this moment, Chu Yu stepped out from the crowd.
His voice was deep, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
"Liao Liao, wait for me here. I'll take care of this first, then we'll watch the fireflies together."
Having said that, his lotus-silk boots stepped onto the bluestone slab, and the pile of flesh and blood slithered toward him, but then seemed to have seen something terrifying and retreated at lightning speed.
"mother……!"
"Ah ah..."
Hearing the incomprehensible screams in his ears, Chu Yu lowered his eyes, his gaze filled with pity.
"It's tough, just bear with it a little longer, I'll help you get out of this soon."
As the Sword of Compassion manifested, golden starlight flashed in Chu Yu's eyes, and the firefly lanterns floating in the air suddenly went out.
As if time had stood still, all the lights in Huijin City went out for a moment.
No one could see what had just happened. The lights were turned back on, and the Black Wind Bandits were no longer on the ground, as if nothing had happened.
"Let's go, that's enough."
After dealing with the Black Wind Bandits, Chu Yu was about to leave with Hua when he heard a loud exclamation of praise.
"What a fine sword! What excellent swordsmanship!"
Chu Yu stopped and looked at Yong Heng with surprise.
"You saw me draw my sword?"
"What? Is it difficult?" Chu Yu pondered for a moment after hearing Yong Heng's question.
"It's very difficult. Among the six realms, both in heaven and on earth, there are only a handful of people who can clearly see my sword strike. You are one of them."
Yong Heng was taken aback: "I've never seen anyone so unmodest. But you two are both highly skilled. Huijin City has been having a lot of trouble lately. Could you stay and help resolve it?"
"I have a little money, so I won't treat you unfairly."
They were having fun, but then their playful side kicked in: "We don't lack money."
Yongheng was stunned; the fact that he wasn't short of money immediately shut him down.
But thinking about what had happened at Huijincheng recently, Yongheng gritted his teeth.
“If you don’t lack money, you’ll always lack other things. Whatever you two want, as long as I can do it, I will definitely get it for you.”
"Me too, I have a little bit of power."
“Well…we don’t lack power either.” Hua smiled.
"Your mask is really fun. Why don't you take it off and give it to me?"
It wasn't entirely for fun; after all, seeing the Black Wind Bandits' appearance had left me feeling quite distressed.
Although we don't know what the Black Wind Bandits are, it's likely that those missing children were sucked into their bodies.
She definitely had to eliminate this disgusting thing, and Chu Yu's hurried arrival in the human realm was probably for this very reason.
Since we're doing the same thing anyway, we might as well make it more fun.
Yongheng was stunned by what Hua said, and in Hua's eyes, he even seemed a little awkward.
"This...isn't that inappropriate, in public?"
This made Hua even more curious about Yongheng's face under the mask. She pouted and said, "So what if it's in public?"
"Well, I'm not very good-looking, but as a prince, going out like this would make me seem unrefined."
"It would be bad to be laughed at, so this is to save face for our royal family."
"Think about it, on the battlefield, most of the men are handsome. They wear masks so as not to scare the enemy and maintain their dignity."
