I've never felt happy to become an immortal.

Chapter 217 Wait for me to find you (Third update)
Blood seeped from his clothes.

Bai Xuan didn't need to look down to see; he already realized that his left leg was broken. Although it looked intact on the outside, the bone was shattered.

Exceeding one's limits inevitably leads to self-damage. Bai Xuan had indeed overclocked just now, not only shortening the physical sensations but also greatly overdrawing his body, breaking the limiter of the human body.

Breaking the limiter is something that anyone who has watched One-Punch Man will understand. However, Saitama is an extremely rare case. For most people, breaking their limiter results in unleashing power beyond their limits, thereby injuring themselves.

Bai Xuan wiped his mouth, his lungs were in excruciating pain... Even though the Third Heavenly Strike could reverse the blow that shattered the void, it couldn't completely isolate all the damage... He was seriously injured, but fortunately, he also gained a lot.

This celestial body was completely destroyed, cut in half by Bai Xuan's sword.

On the ruined floor of the great hall lay a broken body. No blood flowed from the wounds, but black mist overflowed. Dark flames tried to prop up the body, but all their efforts were in vain, only accelerating the body's shattering and collapse.

The Six Desires Demon could no longer sense any power. After its celestial body was destroyed, the power remaining inside it was dissipating at an extremely rapid pace. At this moment, it had no strength left, let alone the ability to crush space, or even to crush a stone.

It's hard to believe that the Six Desires Demon, the mastermind behind the White Plum Sect for over four hundred years, who seized multiple bodies and caused numerous corpse demon disasters, would suffer such a crushing defeat in its most prized domain.

In a world where the victor is king and the loser is villain.

No matter how high one's status is, no matter how much others praise him, when he becomes a loser and sits on the ground, all his glory is shattered, and no matter how terrifying the words are, they can no longer inspire fear.

It's not scary, it's just ridiculous.

Driven by its broken body, the Six Desires Demon rose again, cracks spreading and falling within the body, constantly scattering into transparent and gleaming fragments of a powerful being.

It stared directly at Bai Xuan, its eyes filled with apprehension, fear, evasion, anger, and ruthlessness.

Their eyes met.

The astonishing killing intent emanating from Bai Xuan showed no signs of abating; on the contrary, it intensified.

The Heavenly Demon asked in a deep voice, "Just who are you?"

Bai Xuan said calmly, "Naturally, it's the person who killed you."

The Heavenly Demon feigned indifference and sneered, "You're also badly injured. If you insist on fighting to the bitter end, it's hard to say who will live and who will die."

Bai Xuan dragged his broken leg forward: "I am injured, but that doesn't stop me from killing you."

"There isn't such a deep-seated hatred between us, is there?"

The Six Desires Demon continued in a low voice, "All I need is a chance to escape from here, a chance to be free. I never intended to be your enemy, why must we take this to the point of no return?"

"What? You want to reconcile?"

Bai Xuan looked at it expressionlessly: "Only now do you think of reconciliation? Are you joking?"

"I want to kill you, not for any other reason than because I don't like you."

The intense killing intent locked onto him, and the Six Desires Demon immediately retreated, his forcibly maintained aura becoming even weaker.

"White Moonlight, you've already won a great victory! You've rescued the person, and the Sword Immortal's remains are in your hands. What more do you want!"

"Do you really want to force me to fight you to the death?"

"You won't get anything good out of this!"

"Why don't we just leave from here!"

"If I die, the entire secret realm will collapse completely. Have you considered the consequences?"

To a thousand-year-old man, these words sounded only noisy and funny.

Everyone understands the principle of eliminating problems at their root.

As for the consequences, it's a fight to the death, who cares about anything else!

Realizing its impending death, or perhaps its imminent demise, the Six Desires Demon finally abandoned all other thoughts and displayed the courage to fight to the death.

"Since you insist on doing it your way!"

"Then let's all perish together!"

It screamed loudly, using its last bit of strength to inflate its body, intending to self-destruct.

Bai Xuan no longer had much true energy left in his body. His physical body had reached its limit, and his cultivation was almost depleted, but his spiritual power was far from exhausted.

Raising the Jiang Chengzi sword in his hand, his blood-stained white robes swaying, he threw the weapon forward without much effort, as if he were throwing a folded paper airplane.

But the moment it left my hand, the paper airplane instantly transformed into a supersonic fighter jet, with a deafening roar. And less than three centimeters from the ground, its kinetic energy surged, and its speed broke through ten times the sound barrier.

Because of its incredible speed, the air behind the blade couldn't fill the gap as it sliced ​​through the air. Instead, it converged towards the vacuum, forming a collapsing, circular vortex that swept everything around it in—shards, stones, blood, pieces of cloth, frozen ice, and even the torn sword energy itself.

The flying sword is in front, and the white vortex is behind, creating an extremely exaggerated trailing effect.

This sword strike, seemingly a casual toss, incorporated all the skills Bai Xuan could currently utilize.

Hundred-Step Flying Sword, Sword Control Technique, Fourth Wind Riding, Frosty Sky Sword Qi, Vast Killing Intent, and Vast Spiritual Power that integrates all of these.

Even an unnamed sword can slay immortals and demons!

This sword strike is an absolute killing blow.

A sword that exists solely for the purpose of destroying its target, without any other purpose, is therefore unmatched in its destructive power.

Bai Xuan disliked the Killing Sword Path because it was too limited and too dangerous.

But sometimes, evil people need to be dealt with by evil people.

It was as if a supersonic plane had sped by, and after that deafening roar, all was silent.

The entire hall was pierced through by a single sword, and everything in its path, whether demons or buildings, was destroyed.

The Six Desires Demon had no time to resist or fight back. He could only watch the approaching cold light, let out a sigh of unwillingness, and then be annihilated into nothingness.

His ambitions, past, expectations, wishes, future... all were crushed into dust at this moment, and everything came to an end.

……

Secret Realm Plaza.

Fan Qingshuang fought two opponents alone.

Zhuquejian and Xu Tingfeng were both suppressed by her and were complaining bitterly. They were being chased and relentlessly slashed by Fan Qingshuang.

Although there were no serious casualties, Xu Tingfeng and the Vermilion Bird Sword were not in good condition after such a long time, and perhaps because their pride was hurt, the degree of erosion had also deepened.

Just as the Vermilion Bird Sword was struggling to resist the erosion, he suddenly felt a sense of ease throughout his body. His previously unruly limbs returned to the command of his brain, and he punched himself.

Instead of being angry, Zhuque Sword was overjoyed: "Great! He succeeded! We're saved!"

Xu Tingfeng finally regained control of his body before being completely controlled. Feeling the dark marks fading from his body, he rolled up his sleeves, and a black, oily substance flowed from his wounds.

"The White Moonlight actually took care of the mastermind," Xu Tingfeng said. "How did he do that?"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a sword slash down, almost hitting his groin.

"Still want to fight?" Xu Tingfeng was sweating profusely.

The Vermilion Bird Sword kicked Xu Tingfeng away and used the momentum to jump back.

At the same time, a gap appeared in the ground, and the entire ruins were on the verge of collapse.

……

Bai Xuan stood amidst the collapsed palace complex, his figure slightly staggering.

He held nothing back with that last sword strike.

therefore……

For at least a short while, they were unable to move.

Rumble——!
After the Heavenly Demon died, the entire secret realm began to tremble violently.

It seems that the Six Desires Demon was not lying; He Himself is the pillar of the entire secret realm, equivalent to a human Jinchūriki.

A secret realm cannot exist without the Six Desires Demons, just as a house cannot exist without load-bearing walls.

Bai Xuan was unable to move and was too lazy to even lift a finger.

Based on his experience, once space begins to collapse, it does not annihilate everything inside, but rather creates turbulence, much like how air rushes out of underwater ruins after they collapse, forming chaotic ocean currents.

Turbulent currents are far more dangerous than ocean currents and reefs, especially because it's impossible to predict where you'll land.

Bai Xuan recalled the advice he had received earlier; Juan Zhi had even reminded him of it.

The demise of the Six Desires Demon is just the beginning; what follows may be the real test, so be careful.

"What's the difference between saying this and not saying anything at all?"

Bai Xuan made a sarcastic remark.

He was too lazy to move.

I'd rather sit still and recover my strength than move around any further.

Let it collapse if it wants to. I'm tired. Let it end, just hurry up and destroy it...

I tilted my head back and looked at the reflected light.

Bai Xuan thought to himself that he had really been through a lot.

Since entering the secret realm, one thing after another has happened.

Fortunately... it wasn't a wasted trip.

Everything that needed to be done has been done, everything that needed to be obtained has been obtained, and everyone who deserved to die has been killed.

There was also an unexpected surprise: I met two old friends.

His mood was like that of a corporate slave who had worked overtime for a long time and finally finished the project, only wanting to empty his mind, not think about anything, and let his heart feel empty for a while.

After leaving the secret realm, he would definitely return to the modern world to rest for a few days. The first thing he would do was to fill the bathtub with water and soak in it for forty minutes to let all his fatigue evaporate in the warm water.

After all, we've been here quite a while.

From Langya to the White Plum School, there was never a suitable time to return to the modern world.

Lost in thought, the spatial turbulence intensified the shaking, and the entire ruin shattered, with countless fragments surging towards the vortex-shaped void that appeared in the sky.

Ta-ta-ta-!
He heard footsteps within the collapsed palace complex.

He slowly turned his head to look.

In the distance, Fan Qingshuang, carrying Jiang Chengzi in her arms, ran closer and closer. Her expression was anxious, and her steps were hurried.

Inside the crumbling palace, the space had shattered into irregular fragments. Her movements were too hurried and too hasty. She rushed straight in, her clothes were torn by the spatial rift, her hair tie was cut off, and her black hair fluttered behind her head. The oil paper package in her pocket was torn, and several dried fruits fell out.

She had no time to care about anything else; she just stretched out her hand, trying to reach him.

She was just a hair's breadth away from touching him.

but……

The turbulent currents of space swept past, slicing the two apart, leaving crescent-shaped marks on her fingernails.

The remaining little distance has become an insurmountable chasm.

Unreachable.

Just as Bai Xuan was about to say something, he felt a warm sensation on his cheek.

Fan Qingshuang knelt in the broken space, a few clear tears sliding down her cheeks.

Tears were able to travel through the turbulent currents of space and fall beside him.

"Don't cry."

Bai Xuan said softly, "Keep my sword safe until I find you."
