Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

The guard standing nearby stood up and said helplessly:

"Just now, Lord Wan Di fought with another hero and is now bound here by that hero."

"Hero? Is it Brother Yan Huan? Where is he?"

"The hero said he was going to see other places, and then he left."

"..."

"I see."

Bai E sighed helplessly and said to Dan Heng, who was following behind:

"This is the worst-case scenario: Brother Yan Huan has encountered the rest of the [Golden Descendants]."

"Hey, I can hear you."

The invincible being, wrapped in a golden cocoon, shouted:

"Savior, release me right now!"

Upon hearing this, Bai E turned around, looked at the giant golden cocoon the size of a building, and smiled faintly:

"How was your skill, Brother Yan Huan?"

"Hmph, he's about on par with me. If it weren't for his strange divine power, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state..."

As Bai E listened, he drew his longsword and slashed fiercely at the giant golden cocoon.

‘Bangdang——’

Accompanied by a piercing buzzing sound, the outermost few chains showed signs of breaking, but for the entire giant cocoon, it was nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

"Is it so hard?"

Bai E tapped the ground with his longsword, seemingly somewhat surprised.

"Even I couldn't break free, what do you think?" Wan Di, inside the cocoon, said in a deep voice:

"Be serious, this hardness is not simple."

"Understood." Bai E raised his longsword again. This time, the surrounding air surged, causing everyone's robes to flutter.

Then the sword fell.

'boom--! ! ’

Numerous golden chains snapped and burst forth; the attack was very effective, cutting off a full tenth of the giant cocoon.

Bai E slashed several more times, finally allowing Wan Di to crawl out.

“Wan Di, you must have started it first, right?” Bai E asked.

"So what?" Wan Di stretched his limbs and said calmly.

"He was a new face, so I wanted to give him a try."

"Provoking your allies at such a critical time, what do you think you are?"

Bai E frowned slightly.

"Didn't you see that Brother Yan Huan was saving the residents?"

"I saw it. I only made my move after the nearby Heavenly Punishment forces were wiped out."

Wan Di crossed his arms and looked indifferently at Bai E.

"Furthermore, I've told you since we first met that, neither in the past nor in the future, the Suspended Peak people will ever agree to make peace with you..."

“As the successor of Suspended Peak, I cannot act unilaterally on such matters.”

“Moreover, now that things have come to this point, it is even more necessary for me to remind certain ‘distinguished guests’.” Wan Di looked at Dan Heng behind Bai E.

"Your hosts are hardly skilled in hospitality."

After saying that, Wan Di left on his own and didn't say anything more to Bai E.

“Your friend doesn’t seem very friendly,” Danheng said, looking at Bai’er.

"These are the Golden Descendants, heroes in the eyes of the world, yet also mortals with flaws."

Bai E said helplessly:

"Let's find Brother Yan Huan first. There are more than just Wan Di among the Golden Descendants here who don't communicate well."

……

In the center of the holy city.

"Welcome to Ohmma, sir."

A pretty young woman blocked Yan Huan's path and slowly bowed.

She has a slender figure and a soft voice; she looks like a good girl.

If the monster next to her didn't suddenly die.

“Mr. Yan Huan, is that right? I already know you are coming.”

"My name is Xia Die. I have come to meet you on the orders of Lady Agrea."

"How do you know me?" Yan Huan looked at the girl in front of her, puzzled.

"Who is Aglaia? The city lord?"

"It seems you have many questions, but now is not the time for idle chatter."

Xia Die looked behind Yan Huan.

"Your companions have arrived."

Bai E, leading Dan Heng, quickly approached the two.

Upon seeing Xia Die, he smiled faintly and said:

"When I sensed your presence, I thought my heroic epic was about to end before it even began."

The butterfly gently shook its head.

"An epic story that ends abruptly at the beginning may be truly amazing."

“But today, Lord Bai'er… Ohma needs you.”

"Even the morticians of the Holy City say so, it seems I can survive this battle?" Bai E seemed somewhat pleased.

"Well, but that's not up to me to decide," Xia Die said calmly.

"All I can do is lead you to the place where Nicardo came to be."

She then turned around and gestured for the three of them to follow.

Just as Yan Huan was about to step forward, Bai E stopped her.

"Wait a minute," Bai E reminded them.

"Keep five steps away from Miss Xia Die, and don't follow too fast."

Ahead, Xia Die silently led the way, while the monsters on both sides of the road were listless.

Yan Huan's original plan was to continue clearing out the monsters in this area, but it seems that she is no longer needed.

"What are her abilities?"

Yan Huan followed behind Bai E, looking at the clusters of purple flowers blooming continuously behind Xia Die's feet.

"Miss Xia Die is suppressing the enemy with her [death] aura."

Bai E explained:

"She is the mortician of the Holy City, and her skills are extraordinary."

As they walked, the butterfly at the front suddenly stopped.

Two even larger Divine Punishment soldiers, wielding longswords, blocked her path.

"The scent of blood..." the monster murmured, "Are you a servant of the Hand of Darkness?"

“…I am not anyone’s servant,” Xia Die replied.

Yan Huan was quite surprised to see that these monsters could actually speak.

"Huh? This thing can talk."

“Of course.” Bai E asked curiously:

"Didn't Brother Yan Huan hear anything during the battle?"

"I've only ever heard them scream."

"..." Bai E fell silent.

He quickly understood why Yan Huan hadn't heard these divine soldiers speak.

It's true that they burned too fast... they didn't have a chance to say anything.

"Ohma, the Golden Clan, a bunch of cowards."

The Divine Punishment soldiers swept their cold gazes over the crowd.

"Loyalty and honor are what make us."

"Deception and weakness, molded into you."

"Come—let's fight to the death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several purple butterflies landed on the monster.

The monster couldn't hold on for even half a breath before collapsing and falling silent.

"Alright, the enemies blocking the way have been eliminated."

Xia Die turned around and spoke to Bai E and the others:

"...Please transform into birds and fly into the final battlefield."

"?"

"Birds? Flying?" Yan Huan stared wide-eyed, carefully examining Bai E and Xia Die's faces.
