"Is, is it over...?"
Faced with this sudden scene, everyone present was at a loss for a moment.
How could the terrifying monster that was just charging at them with such momentum be split in two with a single sword strike?
"Gulp..."
The Fatty Shopkeeper lay on the ground, swallowing hard, his face full of astonishment.
What kind of power was this, and what was that flash just now?
Was it a Flying Sword?
But how could such things really exist in the world...
Didn't Emperor Xuan Yang say that there was no such way in this world?
After an extensive search back then, not even a strand of a Cultivator's hair was found, and the populace had long accepted this theory.
Yet now, why had that legendary Cultivator truly appeared?
Could it be that the government was wrong back then, and Cultivators do exist in this world, only they lacked the ability to find them?
The Fatty Shopkeeper's mind was turbulent.
He had actually long known the answer, the reason for these thoughts now was simply because everything that had just happened was too bizarre.
After all, the monsters had already emerged, and everyone knew one thing, without needing human input.
That is, this world is not simple, demons truly exist.
Similarly, the matter of Cultivators is not without basis, they very likely exist in this world too.
Now, when Master Liu showcased a shocking Sword Control Technique, everyone witnessing this scene finally came to their senses, and with a slight thought, they could understand the other party's identity.
"Immortal Master! Immortal Master! Thank you for saving our lives!"
"Thank you, Immortal Master! Thank you, Immortal Master!"
"..."
A group of people bowed deeply towards Master Liu's direction, some even knelt down, "thud thud thud," knocking their heads.
Pei Laoliu waved his hand, signaling them to rise, and said:
"There's no need for that, our Tianyuan Sect has always hated evil like an enemy, and cannot stand the demons harming our Human Clan brethren. Meeting with you all at this inn today is fate, lending a hand doesn't require thanks."
He assumed the guise of a reclusive high immortal, coupled with the Mountain and River Sword still hovering nearby in mid-air, truly appearing otherworldly and profound.
Master Liu sensed his own Dark Energy, with about half left, including what was consumed earlier while carrying a few people on the Flying Sword.
This alone showed the advantage of being well-equipped.
That Pig Demon, although not yet at the Transformation Stage, had already shed the palate bone and could speak human language.
Such strength was notably higher than Dahei and Little White, roughly equivalent to the Human Clan's Foundation Establishment level.
Yet, such a monster was slain in an instant.
Of course, the depletion of demon resources played a part, but Master Liu's Mountain and River Sword was the decisive factor.
As one of the sharpest weapons within the Star Alliance, the Mountain and River Sword holds great value.
Furthermore, purchasing it requires buying a full set, needing hundreds of Contribution Points.
If most people had that many points, they would exchange them for Imprint Skills, or extra Sun Essence, and inspiration potion, primarily to enhance their own strength.
But Cultivation enthusiasts like Ye Cang are different.
For the sake of a Flying Sword, Ye Cang exchanged his painstakingly saved hundreds of Contributions for a set of Mountain and River Swords.
Then, considering his relationship with Pei Laoliu, he gifted one to him.
So, Master Liu is now akin to a paying player in a game, wielding top-notch gear to fight low-level monsters near the novice village, which is outright overkill.
Moreover, Master Liu's main focus is a Sword Control Skill, considered the strongest offensive Sword Cultivator in the Cultivation World.
If he couldn't take down a small monster in one strike under such circumstances, it would indeed be peculiar.
"Now that demons are infesting the city, you'd better stay here in the inn, don't wander around, let me investigate the source of these demons, then return to join you."
Pei Laoliu addressed Yan Jiantong and the others, then looked at the scattered human baozi in the hall, shaking his head he added:
"Remember to carefully inspect the food here, see if other items are the same, avoid mistakenly ingesting human flesh."
He said, glancing at the nearby Dahei, casually waving his hand. Upon seeing this, Dahei immediately started rummaging through the remains of the Pig Demon as if granted permission.
The surrounding residents revealed panic upon seeing the great figure leave.
Someone plucked up courage to approach, hoping he would stay with them.
"There's no need to worry, demon aura now fills the city, how can I stand idly? Just take refuge here safely, my disciple will guard you, and there will be no danger."
After Master Liu finished, he left with a wave of his sleeve.
Those people naturally dared not say much, only casting their gaze towards Yan Jiantong and the others one by one.
"Alright, let's clean up here first, then go carefully check the food in the kitchen, if all is well return to your rooms, do not wander around."
Although Yan Jiantong was just an Outer Disciple, as a person of the Martial World and the oldest, he always held the image of an elder brother in Li Qiang and Li Mu's hearts.
