Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2040: Chapter 2041: The Unlucky Sword-Washing Elder (2nd Update)

"No need to hold back, I’ve been drinking too much lately and my muscles are tired. It’s good to move around!" The Sword Immortal chuckled.

"Hmph!" Ye Kongming snorted coldly, flipping his wrist, and suddenly a long sword as clear as autumn water appeared in his hand.

Ye Kongming’s expression turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "This sword was personally bestowed upon me by my grandfather, it’s named Xi Chen. Dying under its blade today would not be in vain."

The Sword Immortal merely laughed softly at this and then picked up the gourd at his waist, drinking it again glug by glug.

This utterly dismissive attitude made Ye Kongming furious, "Arrogant lad, take the sword!"

With that, he raised both hands and swung his sword down.

To be fair, this Ye Kongming did have reason to be somewhat proud.

Just the momentum and timing of this single strike were enough to crush most of the sword cultivators present.

But facing this strike, the Sword Immortal merely shook his head lightly and then closed his eyes.

Many people exclaimed in surprise, and Ye Kongming’s face showed humiliation, his killing intent intensified once more.

In an instant, the sword light was already above the Sword Immortal’s head. In just one-hundredth of a second, this sword could split the Sword Immortal in two.

Yet at this moment, Ye Kongming suddenly felt the sword in his hand freeze in midair, unable to move forward anymore.

Caught off guard, Ye Kongming’s wrist made a few cracking sounds, almost breaking from the impact.

Then, the Sword Immortal pinched Ye Kongming’s Xi Chen sword between two fingers and said faintly, "This is the first sword strike."

Ye Kongming’s face turned purple with stifled rage, frantically trying to pull the sword out from the Sword Immortal’s fingers.

But he found that the man reeking of alcohol in front of him, although only using two fingers, was like two immovable mountains, no matter how hard he tried, the sword wouldn’t budge.

Just as he was in despair, the Sword Immortal smiled slightly and suddenly let go.

Ye Kongming, unable to stop his momentum, staggered backward several steps before finally regaining his footing, his face turning extremely unsightly.

The Sword Immortal simply said, "Again."

By now, no one in the audience dared to underestimate this man reeking of alcohol.

Considering his performance, many had already begun to speculate about his identity, causing a slight commotion.

Yet Ye Kongming only felt his blood surging up, clenched his teeth fiercely, and was about to launch a second sword strike.

But just then, a hoarse and authoritative voice came from behind him.

"Ming’er, do not be disrespectful, step aside."

Upon hearing this voice, Ye Kongming’s whole body trembled, then reluctantly stepped aside.

At the same time, several sword lights suddenly shot out from the giant carriage. When they landed, the leading figure was an old man with white hair and an otherworldly demeanor.

It was the renowned Sword Cleansing Elder, Ye Bufan.

As he appeared before everyone, the commotion in the audience grew even more intense.

The Sword Immortal maintained a calm demeanor, drinking several more large gulps of wine.

Ye Bufan took a deep look at him, then stepped forward and respectfully clasped his hands, "Junior Ye Bufan greets the Sword Immortal Linghu Jue, my senior."

These words left everyone astonished.

Even Ye Kongming was dumbfounded.

He never imagined that the man he had just confronted with a sword was actually the renowned Sword Immortal Linghu Jue.

Realizing this, Ye Kongming felt his heart sink halfway.

Thankfully, his grandfather arrived in time, otherwise, he wouldn’t have known how he died.

Though Ye Kongming was arrogant, he possessed some self-awareness.

After all, his grandfather himself referred to this top-tier sword cultivator as his senior.

Facing Ye Bufan’s salute, Linghu Jue was silent for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"A century has passed, and you’ve become so old?"

Ye Bufan’s face showed embarrassment and he sighed lightly, "Junior went astray and almost suffered from deviation, hence the sudden graying of my hair overnight."

Linghu Jue waved his hand, "Judging by the character of the grandson you raised, it’s no wonder you almost went astray."

With that, Linghu Jue said no more, leaping into the air and transforming into a sword light heading toward the Sword Palace Sector.

In the blink of an eye, his figure vanished without a trace, leaving Ye Bufan standing awkwardly.

But he couldn’t even bring himself to make a sarcastic remark, as the typical demeanor of sword cultivators is to speak their mind directly without holding back.

Helpless, he could only wave his hand, "Let’s go."

Ye Kongming thought of saying something, but seeing the expression on his grandfather’s face, he dared not speak.

Just as everyone was about to turn and leave.

By sheer coincidence, at that moment, a starship burst forth from the void not far from the giant carriage.

This starship was much newer than the one the Sword Immortal had, and the front end was lined with dense spikes that sent shivers just at the sight.

Before anyone could react to its appearance, the starship rushed forward at a mad speed.

To make matters worse, because both Ye Bufan and Ye Kongming were not on the giant carriage, it drifted commandless, quietly suspended in the void.

Thus, in the blink of an eye, the two collided.

Boom!

With a loud crash, the long spikes at the front of the starship pierced through the body of the giant carriage like tearing through rotten wood, emerging from the other side.

The interior of the giant carriage shook violently, spewing flames and smoke from every exit.

The long spikes of the starship had destroyed the power core inside the giant carriage, causing an explosion.

Moreover, the starship, like a rampaging elephant, did not slow down after the collision, but continued to drive forward with ferocity.

The hull of the giant carriage groaned under the unbearable weight, and then was torn open under the immense force.

Witnessing this, everyone’s eyes widened.

Especially Ye Bufan and Ye Kongming were left dumbstruck.

They could never have imagined that in such a short moment, the giant carriage they had spent a fortune on was first rear-ended by the starship after drinking and then so brutally torn apart.

This left them dumbfounded.

Finally.

The starship’s speed gradually slowed, and looking now at the giant carriage, it was completely torn to shreds.

Its parts and twisted shell scattered all across the void.

This tragic scene finally awakened Ye Bufan and Ye Kongming.

"Damn it, my giant carriage!" Ye Kongming roared, then leapt out in anger, standing in front of the starship to block its path.

"Kid, do you even know how to drive a starship? Did you crash into it on purpose?"
