Ji Shuangxue found herself utterly perplexed. Why the fog was so thick outside, but in their courtyard, there wasnât a trace of it? Was her dadâs sword practice so intense it managed to disperse the fog?
A moment later, she vigorously rubbed her face. She felt like her fatherâs quirks were rubbing off on her. A sword wasnât some kind of electric fan; it couldnât generate such powerful wind.
âWhatâs going on?â Joseph inquired in standard Chinese when he noticed his daughter standing still at the door.
âItâs foggy outside,â Ji Shuangxue replied.
âFoggy? The weather forecast didnât mention fog today,â Joseph said while stowing away his sword. He looked visibly confused as he walked towards the door.
As they chatted, the fog outside their house grew denser, and visibility plummeted even further. Whatâs more, the fog seemed to be expanding visibly. The whole situation was starting to feel rather strange, and Ji Shuangxue began to feel a creeping discomfort.
âThis is odd,â Joseph said while frowning at the fog. He had experienced major storms and had even witnessed the presence of true âexperts.â
Joseph retrieved his greatsword and swirled it around in the mist.
Suddenly, an ear-piercing, sharp cry emerged from the fog.
Ji Shuangxue instinctively took a few steps back.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Heavy knocks came from the neighborâs house.
A moment later, the voice of the neighborâs uncle sounded. âWho is it?â
The old iron door of the neighborâs uncleâs house creaked open. It always made a loud noise when opened.
Joseph wanted to stop her, but it was too late.
âEh? Itâs really foggy, huh?â The neighborâs uncleâs voice continued.
âBe careful,â Joseph called out. âThis fog seems a bit unusual.â
However, his voice seemed to be muffled and didnât reach the neighborâs ears.
âNo one? Then who was knocking on the door just now?â the neighbor wondered.
Then, the heavy iron door began to close slowly.
Just as the iron door was about to fully close, a surprised cry came from the neighbor.
Then followed the sound of the neighbor falling.
Ji Shuangxue quickly raised her head and called out to her mother, who stood by the second-floor window. âMom, did you see what happened next door?â
Her mother gently shook her head. The entire house was enveloped in fog, and she could only see their own small courtyard; she couldnât even see what was happening next door.
âIs this some supernatural event?â Ji Shuangxue couldnât help but shiver. She had watched a horror movie just yesterday. The memory was still fresh in her mind.
Joseph remained very calm. With one hand, he held his sword and carefully closed the gate with the other. Since the neighbor had screamed and fallen when he closed the door, he needed to be cautious when closing it to guard against whatever was lurking in the fog.
After shutting the courtyard gate, Joseph quickly took out his mobile phone. His masterâs phone number was saved in his mobile phone.
However, there was no signal on the phone.
âWhat the heck?â Joseph muttered.
Now he was certain that something was amiss with the fog outside.
âLetâs go back inside the house for now.â Joseph firmly made up his mind while gesturing for his wife to close all the windows.
Just as Josephâs wife was closing the upstairs window, there was a loud bang. It sounded like something had hit the glass.
The glass cracked.
âThereâs something in the fog,â his wife said nervously.
Joseph held his sword with one hand and protected his daughter as they hurried back into the house. For any normal father, his daughterâs safety was more important than his own life. If something happened to him, that was acceptable, but his daughter must not be harmed.
Ji Shuangxue was ushered back to her room. She massaged her temples and wondered if she was still dreaming.
The sound of knocking on the upstairs window continued relentlessly.
The windows of neighboring houses were shattered. Vaguely, there were also terrified cries, but the cries seemed isolated and distant.
âHave your mother come downstairs; the glass upstairs wonât hold for long,â Joseph instructed decisively.
âYes/â her fatherâs composure provided Ji Shuangxue with a sense of security. She hadnât panicked throughout this ordeal.
Joseph gripped his greatsword tightly.
Mist began to seep into the courtyard.
This scene was like the opening of a horror movie.
âIn reality, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction,â Joseph muttered. Perhaps he should consider installing bulletproof glass for their house in Jiangnan in the future.
The fog accelerated its intrusion.
In the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire courtyard.
Joseph widened his eyes.
At a certain moment, he suddenly sensed a dark shadow in the fog leaping towards him.
âPerfect timing!â Joseph tightly gripped his sword and roared, âHoly Light, that evil seems to be worth fighting! Holy Light Evil-slaying Sword!â
This Holy Light Evil-Slaying Sword was vastly different from the sword techniques practiced by ordinary cultivators. Its technique incorporated the power of the âspoken word spirit.â
The stronger the power of the roar, the more the swordâs strength could be harnessed.
On the other hand, if he only recited it silently, the swordâs power would be greatly reduced.
Ji Shuangxue couldnât help but worry. This âSword Techniqueâ sounded like a joke, but her father believed in it and was using it against the fog.
Anxious for her fatherâs safety, she quickly turned around and looked at where her father stood.
The moment she turned, she noticed something peculiar. It was almost like an illusion. She could swear she saw a faint light emanating from her fatherâs sword.
The greatsword slashed through the fog, radiating a brilliant light.
A wretched cry echoed from within the fog.
It was evident that the âthingâ in the fog had been struck hard.
The âthingâ in the fog was sent hurtling by the sword and crashed into the courtyard door with a loud bang.
After this powerful strike, Joseph seemed to collapse. Sweat poured from his body like a waterfall. Even the muscles heâd diligently built over the past few months had atrophied in an instant and caused him to lose a significant amount of weight!
To be honest, this method of losing weight was something all the overweight people in the world could only dream of.
In the distant Jiangnan College Town, Song Shuhang, who had just delivered breakfast to his roommates and was quietly reading a book before class, looked up in Josephâs direction.
âThereâs something strange,â Song Shuhang spoke mentally.
A small token hanging at his waist responded telepathically, â[Thereâs a clash between an evil force and the power of âHoly Light.â However, that holy light seems rather weak.]â
This small token was a shrunken version of Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet.
âFellow Daoist Stone Tablet, please safeguard my physical body for now,â Song Shuhang requested.
âDonât worry, Iâm here.â words began to shimmer on Fellow Daoist Stone Tabletâs surface.
In the next moment, Song Shuhangâs primordial spirit detached from his body and sped toward the source of the disturbance with astonishing speed. After reaching the Seventh Stage Venerable Realm, his primordial spirit was considerably robust and far from its weaker Fifth Stage state.
Simultaneously, he summoned the âThirty-Three Divine Beastsâ Combined Magical Treasure to accompany his primordial spirit. Lady Onion, perched on Song Shuhangâs shoulder, hesitated for a moment, then reached out to retrieve the âNine Virtues Phoenix Saber,â having it follow Song Shuhang.
In an instant, Song Shuhangâs primordial spirit covered a thousand miles and arrived at the scene.
