"What’s going on?"

The sudden attack shocked the Fern Princess. Before she could react, the sword light had already swept past, piercing through her head, sending her flying out of the room like an arrow released from a bow!

"Hahaha, the Upper Lunar Continent!"

Duanmu Huai held the Longsword, staring excitedly at the Fern Princess in front of him.

"Stupid crow, go back and tell your master that the money wasn’t wasted! We hooked a big fish!"

"You are...!?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Staring at Duanmu Huai, the Fern Princess was dumbfounded, but before she could finish speaking, Duanmu Huai’s blade suddenly turned and chopped off the Fern Princess’s skull. The sword light absorbed the Evil Spirit’s fresh blood and shone brightly at this moment. Before the Fern Princess could react, her extended clothes, along with her body, were instantly chopped into several pieces!

"Plop, plop, plop."

The severed feet, legs, body, hands, forearms, shoulders, and head fell to the ground like rain, as Duanmu Huai also landed steadily with the Longsword. At this moment, he no longer disguised himself but returned to his usual appearance.

"Is that... the young master?"

Standing at the window, Lixia stared dumbfounded at Duanmu Huai on the street below. She wasn’t stupid; by now Lixia understood exactly what was happening. Obviously, the Fern Princess wasn’t a human but some kind of terrifying Monster that even intended to eat her. She had said that after tonight, she would leave, so she needed to devour her earlier...

Wait a minute, was this the reason the young master wanted to redeem me?

What he said to me before, "I guarantee there won’t be any danger"... is this what it meant?

"Ugh... Ugh... Damn Ghost Hunter..."

At this moment, the original severed limbs of the Fern Princess slowly began to close and return to their original form. Now the Fern Princess was staring angrily at Duanmu Huai, grinding her teeth.

"How dare you humiliate me like this..."

"Chopping a neck doesn’t work, huh."

Seeing the opponent recover so quickly, Duanmu Huai frowned.

"The previous Upper Moon Three too, why does chopping a neck not kill them? Is it true that Upper Moons can’t just be killed by chopping their necks?"

"Upper Moon Three?"

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s mutterings, the Fern Princess’s face changed dramatically.

"You... killed Yiwozu?"

"I don’t know his name, but that guy used fists, pretty fun to fight. Honestly, killing him was kind of a waste."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai raised the Longsword again, aiming at the Fern Princess.

"I hope you don’t disappoint me."

"Ah... Ah..."

However, at that moment, the Fern Princess’s face turned pale. She stared at Duanmu Huai, then suddenly let out a scream and turned to run!

"..........???"

The Fern Princess’s actions truly baffled Duanmu Huai.

This ghost is so timid? Scared off so easily?

But...

Watching the Fern Princess’s back, Duanmu Huai sneered coldly.

Do you really think you can escape?

"Aaaaahhhhh!!"

Meanwhile, the Fern Princess was desperately running outside the brothel.

I’ll be killed! I’ll be killed!

The death news of Upper Moon Three was known to the Twelve Ghost Moons, and she was no exception. But the Fern Princess didn’t expect that the terrifying Hunter who killed Upper Moon Three would appear right in front of her!

Why? Why is my luck so bad! I’m supposed to be the Upper Lunar Continent! Why not go somewhere else! Why come to me... eeek!!

While the Fern Princess lamented, suddenly, she sensed a cold murderous intent from behind. Turning her head, she saw a dazzlingly bright sword light!

"Brother! Save me!"

"———————Clang!"

With the Fern Princess’s call, a dark figure emerged behind her, wielding two scythes, clashing with the Sharp Blade thrust by Duanmu Huai!

Yet in the next moment, Duanmu Huai’s Sharp Blade thrust forward, piercing through the man’s scythes, stabbing into his throat. Then the sword flashed, and a head flew high and was embraced by the Fern Princess, landing on the ground.

"Well, this is a Combined Skill, how interesting."

Landing on the ground, Duanmu Huai stared at the pair before him. It was just a ghost earlier, but now there was another beside the Fern Princess. His stature was taller than the Fern Princess, but he looked very thin, with dark yellow eyes engraved with the words Upper Lunar Continent... So, these two combined make up six?

That works, they truly are six.

But simply chopping off his head doesn’t seem effective either.

Watching the man catch the head from Fern Princess and fix it back, Duanmu Huai remained silent. Seeing him like this, the Fern Princess immediately became arrogant again.

"See? Our brother-sister duo can’t be killed by you, even if you chop off our necks, you can’t kill us! If you’re smart, get out of here quickly!"

"No other choice then."

Duanmu Huai let out a silent sigh, looked up at the sky, and realized that dawn was still far away. Clearly, it was impossible to wait until daylight like Upper Moon Three did.

Well then......

"I’ve decided."

Duanmu Huai raised his sword, pointing it at the man.

"I’m going to finely chop you into slivers, without a trace of fat left."

While speaking, Duanmu Huai pointed at the Fern Princess again.

"Then I’ll finely chop you too, without any essence left."

"Finally......"

Before Duanmu Huai could finish his sentence, a flash of light gleamed from his sword.

"I’ll even finely chop your bones into slivers, without leaving any flesh! Let’s see if you can survive that!"

"—————!"

"Die!"

Although they didn’t understand what Duanmu Huai was saying, the brother and sister duo turned pale. Fern Princess raised her hand, and several long belts sliced through the air, heading straight for Duanmu Huai. Meanwhile, under the cover of the belts, the man, wielding two scarlet scythes, transformed into a storm, rushing at the enemy before him!

"Blood Ghost Technique: Eightfold Belt Slash!"

"Blood Ghost Technique: Flying Blood Scythe!"

With their cries, the long belts blocked all of Duanmu Huai’s escape routes from all directions, while the blood splattering from the man’s hands transformed into dozens of razor-sharp blades, shooting towards Duanmu Huai under the cover of the belts!

"You all like shouting, huh."

Faced with the scene before him, Duanmu Huai carried his longsword, letting out a cold snort.

"Since that’s the case, I’ll play along with you... Oh right, let’s go with this one... It’s nice to be nostalgic occasionally."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai reached out his hand, gripping the sword handle, while his eyes emitted a crimson glow.

"Wuming Divine Wind Killing Sword..."

"———————!"

The next moment, the belts and blood passed through Duanmu Huai’s body, yet he vanished into thin air.

"What’s happening?"

Seeing this, the man and Fern Princess were shocked. They glanced around but couldn’t find any trace of Duanmu Huai. Until a voice came from behind them.

"You heard it, didn’t you?"

"——————!"

Hearing this voice, Upper Lunar Continent siblings quickly turned around, only to find Duanmu Huai somehow already behind them, facing away and sheathing his sword.

"You bastard———!"

"Die!"

They couldn’t figure out how he got behind them, but it didn’t matter. The siblings turned again, continuing their attack on Duanmu Huai.

However, faced with their joint assault again, Duanmu Huai remained unbothered, not even turning his head to look.

After all, a real man never looks back.

"That divine wind’s crisp sound..."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai sheathed his sword.

"Clack."

The sheath and hilt collided, emitting a light sound. However, at that moment — everything changed.

Countless bloodstains appeared on Fern Princess and the man’s body, which then burst open. The ruthless and sharp Sword Qi sliced through their flesh, separated their bones, and even their weapons were torn to shreds. Under the whirling and twisting invisible Sword Qi, their flesh and bones seemed to be drawn into a giant blender, all reduced to powder.

"No—————!"

Watching as her body was cut open, sliced, and dispersed, Fern Princess screamed in terror. She raised her hands in despair, reaching towards the man beside her.

"Brother——! Save me! Brother——!"

Her cries ceased abruptly as her head was severed from her body, then continuously torn by the swirling Sword Qi, slicing her skull and turning her brain into mush. On the other side, the man met the same fate without even seeing his sister’s death. His head was split down the middle, even his eyes were split apart, finely chopped into slivers, then turned to dust in the wind, completely disappearing.

"Tch, still no good."

When Duanmu Huai turned around, before him was nothing but an empty street.

"Seems like if you chop finely enough, no regeneration ability is worth crap. Next time I encounter such preening punks, I’ll give them a taste of their own medicine like this time. If it’s just showing off, who can’t do it?"

Duanmu Huai spat. He couldn’t understand why these people liked shouting nonsensically, but isn’t it just shouting move names? Who can’t do that? If you can act cool, so can I, what’s the big deal?

"Next time, what should I use? Flying Swordsmanship? Or Beidou Hundred-Split Fist? Well, I’ll think about it when the time comes."

Muttering to himself, Duanmu Huai carried his sword, humming a tune as he turned away.

This brothel trip was quite delightful, probably......it’s time to return to his era.
