Chapter 818: To look at someone with new eyes, overestimating one's own strength

Miss Jing Xu climbed up with difficulty. Su Hang hurriedly supported her, his gaze toward Ghost Sword filled with anger. He hadn't expected Miss Jing Xu to use him as a pawn; didn't that mean putting him in danger?

"Little beast, today I will kill you first!"

Ghost Sword roared, and a sword shadow shot out from the Demon Sword, instantly catching up to Su Hang and stabbing toward the center of his brow.

"Overestimating your own strength!"

Facing such an offensive, Su Hang let out a cold shout and raised his sword to meet it.

The two swords crossed, sparks flying.

Ghost Sword let out a muffled groan, his body stumbling back three or four yards before he could barely stop.

He looked at Su Hang in horror; he had already experienced the power of that last sword strike.

He believed that even if it were him, it would be hard to withstand such immense force. How could this brat, at such a young age, possess such power?

At this moment, Su Hang had no time to pay him any mind. He took a step forward, approaching him like a teleportation, and stabbed with his sword again.

Ghost Sword tried to block this strike too, but this time he wasn't so lucky. The sword tip pierced through his body, sending Ghost Sword flying and smashing directly into a small hill, dust billowing.

"Pfft!"

Ghost Sword spat out a mouthful of blood, half-kneeling on the ground, supporting his body with the Demon Sword in his hand. He stared at Su Hang with unwillingness, "You, you don't dare kill me. My master is the Mo Sect Leader. If you kill me, the Mo Sect will definitely seek revenge on you."

Su Hang smiled disdainfully, "I'd actually like to hear just what kind of sacred being this Mo Sect is."

While speaking, he swung another sword strike toward Ghost Sword's neck.

Ghost Sword's face turned ash-white, and he hurriedly raised the Demon Sword in his hand to parry, but this time the Demon Sword failed to block it and was shattered by Su Hang's strike. Su Hang took the opportunity to pierce Ghost Sword's neck; Ghost Sword's head immediately flew into the high air, blood spraying.

The head rolled a long way, finally coming to a stop in a pile of stones, eyes wide open, as if he died with a grievance.

Miss Jing Xu was stunned; she hadn't expected Su Hang to actually kill Ghost Sword.

"You... you killed him?" It took a long while for Miss Jing Xu to come to her senses, staring blankly at Su Hang.

"He wanted to kill me; was I supposed to stand there and let him slaughter me?" Su Hang said indifferently, "He deserved to die."

Miss Jing Xu felt a sense of relief in her heart. In truth, she had long wanted to get rid of Ghost Sword, but she had always lacked an excuse. Now, it was done; Su Hang had given her a way out.

"Thank you. If the Young Master hadn't arrived in time, I would surely have been in grave danger." Miss Jing Xu bowed to thank Su Hang, a smile appearing on her pretty face.

Su Hang glanced at her; this girl was truly beautiful when she smiled.

Su Hang couldn't help but feel a bit distracted. He quickly composed himself, remaining silent and saying nothing.

Seeing this, Miss Jing Xu felt awkward and stopped talking.

Miss Jing Xu pursed her lips, looked at Ghost Sword's corpse on the ground, then looked at Su Hang, "We are allies now."

"Allies?"

Su Hang was startled, then suddenly realized; he had almost forgotten that Miss Jing Xu was still here.

However, he quite liked Miss Jing Xu's personality—bright and straightforward, without schemes. This was what Su Hang appreciated, and it was precisely because of Miss Jing Xu's nature that Su Hang had chosen to save her life.

"I wonder which sect you belong to, Young Master? And why are you fighting against the Mo Sect?" Miss Jing Xu looked at Su Hang, her eyes rolling around, appearing very cunning.

Su Hang smiled, "I do not belong to any sect."

Upon hearing this, Miss Jing Xu looked at Su Hang in surprise, "You don't belong to any sect? In this world, there actually exist cultivators who don't belong to any sect? Young Master, you truly make me look at you with new eyes."
