A Farmer's Journey To Immortality

Chapter 631: Reymon’s Surrender P1

The little green demon girl sat silently, watching the charging warriors with narrowed eyes and a cold, annoyed expression.

She didn’t like how they looked at Aksai, their killing intent clearly aimed at him.

Without a word, she decided to deal with them with her own powers.

She didn’t form hand signs or chant anything. The air around her simply shifted. A faint green light wrapped around her body, as if nature itself answered her call.

Two spirit serpents formed from wood-like energy took shape in front of her, twisting and moving like real living creatures. Their bodies were smooth like polished branches, yet flexible like real snakes. Blue sparks flickered faintly around their heads.

The serpents shot forward in a blur.

The two warriors tried to finish their attacks but were caught off guard by the sudden speed. The wooden serpents wrapped around their bodies and struck their neck areas with sharp, precise bites.

A small crackle of lightning ran through the serpents and into the warriors, causing their bodies to jerk as their internal energy flow went out of control.

The warriors gasped, losing strength instantly. The serpents tightened around them like ropes, draining the last bit of vitality that still remained inside their exhausted bodies. Their skin turned pale and dry as life slipped away in an instant.

The two lifeless bodies fell to the ground almost at the same time, their faces frozen in shock as the serpents dissolved back into spiritual mist.

Reymon stared with wide eyes, unable to believe what he saw. The remaining warriors stepped back, fear spreading through their hearts. Some even dropped their weapons.

Aksai himself looked at the little girl with surprise. He had known she was strong, but not to this extent.

She looked back at Aksai with a calm face, as if what she did was nothing more than swatting away two annoying insects.

Aksai watched the little green-haired girl with a thoughtful look. He raised his hand and pointed toward where the two warriors had fallen.

“Did you just use wood-element summons to attack with lightning Spirit spells?” he asked, unable to hide his confusion. “How… how did you do that?”

He replayed the moment in his mind. Those lightning streaks she had called were not normal. They carried a faint trace of the same feeling he had sensed from the Celestial Wrath — a tiny hint of the world’s own law, or meaning, hidden inside them.

That alone shocked him, but what puzzled him even more was how she had combined lightning and wood. Those elements were not meant to stay together. Wood resisted lightning and lightning destroyed wood. Yet her spell had worked as if there was no conflict at all.

The girl looked at him. Her emerald eyes blinked softly, like she was trying to understand his question. Then she shrugged and tilted her head, as if to say she acted on instinct and didn’t understand it herself. Yet, she still conveyed her feelings wordlessly.

Aksai rubbed his chin and murmured, half talking to her and half talking to himself in an attempt to put her thoughts and feelings into words.

“So the wood’s insulating nature makes it a good container for lightning… But even then, it shouldn’t work like that. Normally the wood would break first or the lightning would scatter. Unless…”

He narrowed his eyes and thought back to his own breakthrough — the sun, the moon, yin, yang, harmony through opposite forces.

“Did you understand the lightning Dao because of the Celestial Wrath… or did the thoughts I had during the breakthrough affect it somehow?” he muttered. “Maybe it’s linked to the balance of the sun and moon that I focused on earlier.”

He shook his head with a soft laugh.

“Looks like there are still many things I don’t know.”

He placed his hand on her head again, stroking her hair gently.

“You did great, but don’t do anything else for now. Rest. And when you return to our place, ask Yelia to arrange a room for you in the farmhouse,” he said with a calm but caring tone.

The little girl didn’t move right away. She quietly turned her head and looked at the remaining members of the Grand Martial Hall.

Her expression changed — calm eyes turning sharp and cold. She then looked back at Aksai, as if asking for silent permission to finish them all.

Aksai let out a long breath, his lips twitching.

’She may look cute, but her thoughts are even scarier than mine,’ he sighed inwardly. The little girl was as murderous as a certain Annabelle. He felt like he was going to have a headache handling her killing intent in the future whenever he let her out.

He smiled in a tired way and spoke in a gentle but firm voice.

“No need. They can’t harm me now. Go first. I’ll join you soon.”

The girl stared for a moment longer, then finally nodded. Her figure faded like mist and vanished as Aksai sent her back into the isolated space of the Enchanted Everwood Farm.

Silence fell over the ruined land once again.

Aksai stood up fully, brushed off the dust on his clothes, and looked straight at Reymon, who still stood far away with trembling rage and shock in his eyes.

Aksai’s voice was no longer gentle.

“Reymon Seablaze,” he called out firmly, “I need to speak with you.”

Reymon stood still and stared at Aksai from afar. His fists trembled, and his chest rose and fell with heavy breaths. His eyes showed anger, pain, loss, and helplessness all mixed together, like a storm with no direction.

He tightened his grip around his broadsword for a moment. But eventually, his strength faded.

He closed his eyes, took a long deep breath, and let it out through clenched teeth.

Then, with a dull clank, he let his broadsword fall to the broken ground.

Thud.

The sound echoed through the ruined city like the end of a long nightmare.
