Chapter 1223: Sun Yuluo’s Awakening

“Ah…!” Sun Yuluo shrieked as he pointed at the butcher’s head with a trembling finger. “Y-y-your head…”

“Head?” The butcher turned his body, and the head in his hand looked around at his surroundings. “Where? Where is my head? Why can’t I see my own head?”

An Lin and Da Bai: “…”

Was this ghost retarded?

Without a mirror, who the f*ck would be able to see their own head?

Being able to see it would be a true miracle!

The butcher couldn’t see his head, and he turned to glower at Sun Yuluo. “You lied to me!”

“I didn’t!” Sun Yuluo’s head shook vigorously from side to side, and he continued to point at the butcher’s hand as he spoke in a trembling voice, “Y… your head really is in your hand!”

The butcher’s head turned to look at his headless body before flaring up with rage. “Bullsh*t! I can’t see it! You lied to me, so you must pay the price for doing so! I’m going to chop off your head and attach it to my neck!”

Sun Yuluo’s legs almost gave out from under him upon hearing this, and he immediately fled atop his sword.

At this moment, Da Bai sprang into action. “Why waste time with words when you can fight? Woof!”

A powerful wind blade swept through the air toward the butcher as he spoke.

The butcher reacted extremely quickly, and his butcher knife slashed down toward the wind blade.

Bam!

Energy exploded violently.

Da Bai’s attack was shattered by the butcher’s saber strike!

However, the butcher also sustained severe wounds during the clash as blood and intestines spilled all over the ground. The butcher stumbled a few steps back, and there was a visible crack on his bloodstained butcher knife.

“Oh? He managed to block one of Da Bai’s attacks? This must be a prodigious ghost.” An Lin chuckled.

“How dare you attack me? I’m going to eat you!” A ferocious expression appeared on the butcher’s face, and he leaped high into the sky as a crimson, ghostly power burst forth from the head in his hand.

Ghostly wails erupted and dark winds howled.

One massive bloodstained head after another began to appear.

All of them possessed different facial features, and all of them were most likely the hateful spirits of the butcher’s victims. All of them wore unsettling smiles on their faces, baring their eerie white teeth as they charged violently toward An Lin and the others!

“This is a spiritual attack, woof!” Da Bai immediately expanded his domain. Countless silver blades of wind surged through the air, creating a barrier of wind that shredded all intruders.

One huge head after another was torn apart by the silver blades of wind.

Sun Yuluo trembled uncontrollably as he hid behind An Lin’s back.

An Lin turned with exasperation on his face. “Why are you so useless? If you’re scared of them, then kill them with your sword! What’s the point of cowering away like this?”

“B… but I’m too scared to attack them…” Sun Yuluo’s body trembled uncontrollably at the sight of the malicious, eerie heads.

“Listen to me. Conquer your fear, and lash out with your sword…” An Lin encouraged before sending Da Bai a silent instruction with his eyes.

Da Bai immediately understood what An Lin was intending and withdrew his domain.

An Lin grabbed Sun Yuluo’s arm and hurled him through the air. “Go on!”

Sun Yuluo hurtled through the air toward the butcher.

“Ah…!” Sun Yuluo screamed in horror.

The countless heads in the sky were ecstatic as they opened their mouths and flew toward Sun Yuluo.

“Attack!” An Lin yelled.

Sun Yuluo looked at the malicious ghost heads flying toward him, and he finally screamed as he drew his sword. A dazzling white light suddenly illuminated the entire heaven and earth!

A sword projection parted the heavens and sliced through countless ghostly heads.

None of the heads in the sky even had a chance to cry out before they were reduced to nothingness by the sword projection. The white sword projection swept forth with an unstoppable force before clashing with the butcher’s knife.

Crack!

The sword projection continued onward, shattering the butcher knife and slicing the butcher in half!

“I did it… I did it!” Sun Yuluo murmured to himself in disbelief as he landed gently on the ground.

An Lin and Da Bai both let loose cries of surprise.

“Big Brother An, this Sun Yuluo has what it takes, woof!” Da Bai spoke.

“See, Little Sun? As long as you can conquer your fear, you can cut down anything!” An Lin praised with a gratified expression.

The butcher had been torn in half, and his blood and internal organs splattered all over the ground. The head in his hand also thumped into the ground before slowly rotting away.

“Haha… I’m capable of cutting down ghosts after a… Eurgh…!”

An elated expression had only just appeared on Sun Yuluo’s face before he threw up at the sight of the disgusting, horrifying scene before him.

An Lin and Da Bai: “…”

“How did a coward like him become a sword immortal?” Da Bai was perplexed.

“Maybe he’s a retard that only knows how to train in the way of the sword,” An Lin speculated as he stroked his chin.

An expression of despair appeared on Sun Yuluo’s face upon hearing what An Lin was saying.

He didn’t care that he was being mocked by Da Bai, but he was very depressed to be looked down on by An Lin.

He had to prove himself to An Lin!

Sun Yuluo gripped his snowy-white longsword tightly in his hand. “Sword Immortal An Lin, I want to battle as well! I will contribute by cutting more ghosts!”

He was still petrified, but he was determined to overcome it!

Little Sun has grown up… An Lin nodded with approval.

After that, Sun Yuluo really did become a lot more courageous. No matter how much he trembled with fear or how much his face paled with fright, he still raised the sword in his hand and attacked their ghostly assailants.

Da Bai’s job was made a lot easier with Sun Yuluo’s help.

They made a lap of this city.

They didn’t discover anything worthy of note, but they did encounter quite a few scary ghosts. They did find a yin-type spirit herb during this process, for which Sun Yuluo was absolutely ecstatic, but An Lin and Da Bai didn’t really give a crap.

Were spirit-rank treasures even worthy of their attention?

They usually ate them as snacks.

Even though Sun Yuluo was very excited, he still offered the spirit herb to An Lin at the first opportunity.

An Lin decided to let Sun Yuluo keep the spirit herb as a reward for his performance.

“Alright, there’s nothing much to see in this city. Let’s go,” An Lin said.

Da Bai carried An Lin as they continued on toward another city gate.

The sound of pleasant, ethereal singing suddenly traveled toward them from atop the high city wall.

An Lin and the others were curious, so they flew to the top of the city wall, where they saw a woman in red dancing elegantly, as if she were an enticing red butterfly in the night.

“So beautiful…” Sun Yuluo couldn’t help but exclaim with admiration.

Da Bai shot a glance at Sun Yuluo. “Aren’t you afraid of ghosts? Why aren’t you screaming now? Woof!”

An Lin chuckled lightly. “It looks like he’s only scared of some ghosts… I was wrong about you, Little Sun. You’re a man focused solely on looks!”

Sun Yuluo was embarrassed by An Lin’s words. “It… it’s not like that! I… I… But this woman really isn’t scary!”

He didn’t even know what to say anymore.

In order to prove himself, Sun Yuluo raised his sword to attack the female ghost.

At this moment, the woman raised her head to look at Sun Yuluo. Her skin was as fair as snow, and her eyes rippled with a gentle light as she asked in a soft, gentle voice, “Do you think my dance was beautiful?”

“I… it was…” Sun Yuluo answered almost involuntarily, as if he had been entranced.

An Lin and Da Bai: “…”

Sun Yuluo was fearful toward ghosts, but he was now being seduced by one?!
