Chapter 251 Slaying Cupid! The Overbearing Bai Xuanzi!
In the underworld, in the squares of major cities, the crowds that had been silent in despair suddenly erupted into a violent commotion the moment they saw that strange light.
"That is…" A Soul Master stared intently at the sky, his breathing becoming rapid.
"This aura, this feeling, it's definitely right, absolutely right." Another Soul Master excitedly grabbed the railing, his voice trembling from the force. "It's Xuanzi! It must be Xuanzi from the White World! Only he can intervene across planes at this time."
"That's great, that's really great!" The people around cheered, a feeling of relief as if they had been pulled back from the brink of hell. "As long as Xuanzi of the White World makes a move, let alone a God of Love, even the entire Qiankun Asking Love Valley will probably be torn to pieces. Now, Bai Yuhao is really saved."
In their eyes, Bai Xuanzi represented extreme protectiveness and immense power. In this dark world oppressed by the gods, nothing was more exhilarating than seeing a powerful figure challenge a god to save his disciple.
However, in the shadows of Shrek Academy, Hei Xuanzi looked at the sky, his whole body trembling violently from extreme fear and jealousy.
His cloudy eyes were bloodshot, and he gripped the wall so tightly that his fingernails almost dug into the bricks.
"Don't come...please don't come..." he hissed, his voice hoarse and distorted, "Get out of my way! Why is that old bastard coming? What right does he have to come?"
His inner balance was completely collapsing. If Bai Xuanzi really appeared here, all his previous sense of superiority and all his self-comfort would vanish in an instant.
He couldn't accept Bai Xuanzi's arrival as a powerful figure, nor could he accept that the so-called "orthodoxy" had been validated at this moment. His only hope now was that Bai Xuanzi had encountered an accident on his way here, or that he had never discovered any of this.
[In the scene depicting the sky.]
The beam of light rapidly expanded in space, forming a human-shaped outline.
The figure wasn't tall, and even appeared somewhat old, but the aura emanating from him caused the entire spatial tunnel to tremble slightly.
The moment Huo Yuhao saw this figure, his previously extremely tense nerves finally relaxed.
His face, pale from extreme exhaustion and overwork, now showed obvious joy.
"Teacher..." Huo Yuhao murmured to himself.
That was a familiar aura, a scent that represented absolute reliance.
At the very moment that figure appeared, Cupid, who had been attacking frantically, changed her expression drastically. Her newly formed, enormous pink hands began to tremble violently the instant she sensed this aura.
"This is impossible!" Cupid screamed, the overwhelming pressure suffocating her. "How could someone force their way into my domain without passing through the divine gate?"
She tried to retreat, attempting to hide herself within a spatial rift, but it was too late.
The figure raised its hand, making only a simple waving motion.
[Without elaborate spells or complex incantations, the colossal hand, powerful enough to destroy space itself, instantly shattered into countless fragments of energy upon contact with this force, like porcelain struck by a heavy hammer, and was utterly annihilated.]
["puff!"]
[Cupid coughed up a mouthful of blood, his entire body flying thousands of meters through the spatial tunnel before crashing heavily against the tunnel's walls.]
Her body had become ethereal from the impact, and her once formidable divine power was now steadily draining away through the cracks.
The figure slowly turned around and looked at Huo Yuhao.
Upon seeing Huo Yuhao's numerous wounds and tattered battle armor, the aged figure frowned slightly.
He nodded to Huo Yuhao, signaling him to step back, then shifted his gaze to the terrified Cupid in the distance.
"Dare to lay a hand on my disciple..." the figure spoke slowly, the voice not loud, yet it echoed clearly in every spatial dimension, "You really have a death wish."
He suddenly grabbed at the air with his right hand.
[Sizzle—]
The once smooth space was forcibly torn open, and a divine sword, formed entirely from the pure power of order, was drawn from the depths of the void.
Runes flowed across the sword's blade, exuding a chilling aura capable of judging all things.
[Bai Xuanzi, wielding the divine sword, spoke without a word. He exerted force in his arm, and the longsword traced a straight trajectory, directly slashing towards Cupid.]
This sword strike contained no superfluous movements, only pure speed and power.
[Cupid didn't even have time to erect any defensive barriers.]
[Click.]
The divine sword swept across Cupid's waist, instantly cleaving her in two. The break was smooth and clean; before any blood could even flow, the sword's energy sealed her completely.
"No! Tang San! Save me! Save me!"
[The goddess of love let out a heart-wrenching wail, her severed body struggling violently in the void.]
Above her head, an extremely weak remnant soul broke free; it was the core of the goddess of love.
She frantically rushed towards the distant exit, her eyes filled with terror of death.
Bai Xuanzi watched the frantically fleeing remnant soul, his eyes remaining completely unmoved.
He merely twisted his wrist, and the divine sword in his hand swung once more.
"Trying to run away?"
"Can they escape?"
[Swish—]
A pale blue sword aura, like a thin thread, traversed thousands of meters, directly catching up with the Goddess of Love's attempting-to-escape divine core.
The terrifying sword energy continuously sliced through the black hole's space, producing a series of ear-piercing cutting sounds. Then, this sword energy slammed into the body.
The sword energy made no sound upon contact with the remnant soul; it simply pierced through it gently.
["ah--"]
The remnant soul froze in mid-air, then let out a final, agonizing scream.
[Under the high temperature of the sword energy, it was directly reduced to nothingness.]
That was utter annihilation, with no possibility of reincarnation, not even a trace of divine power remained.
[Both body and spirit perished.]
The cries for help that had been echoing in the tunnel suddenly stopped.
The entire tunnel fell silent once more.
After seeing this scene appear in the sky,
All the Soul Masters in the entire Dark World felt a profound shock once again!
