The next moment, Leo was shocked to see the Blue Phantom Sword pierce through the Four-Footed Snake’s throat and exit its body as if it never existed.
But that wasn’t all. The snake’s massive jaws had already bitten into the ground with a deafening boom, shattering everything in its path and sending dust flying everywhere. Even the ground trembled under the force of its bite.
When the Four-Footed Snake lifted its head, there was a huge crater where it had bitten down – as if it had been hit by a cannonball.
If this giant snake was an illusion, how could it unleash such powerful attacks and cause such terrifying destruction? But if it were real, why did Blue Phantom Sword pass right through it as though nothing were there?
Illusory Spirit Technique? Leo felt like he was onto something.
But he didn’t have time to ponder over this any longer. “Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak! Come forth!” he shouted.
In mid-air, the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak rapidly grew in size and came crashing down on the four-legged snake.
This time, the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak didn’t miss its target and landed solidly on the snake’s body.
The four-legged snake was instantly flattened, emitting a horrifying and agonizing howl.
The Ghost Cultivator, standing on the side, spewed black blood from his mouth. His eyes turned crimson, his face twisted in horror, and his voice became maniacal. “Damn it! Death Snake Lizard, kill him!”
The Ghost Cultivator shouted and quickly formed nine black characters with his hands, sending them flying towards the fallen giant four-legged snake.
As the characters entered its body, the four-legged snake seemed to gain some kind of power and slowly crawled up from the ground.
Under Leo’s control, the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak grew larger once again, becoming twice the size of the four-legged snake. It released a black mist and crashed down once more.
“Boom!”
A deafening sound echoed as the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak smashed the four-legged snake into a fleshy pulp, which then dissipated into nothingness.
“Ah…!!” The Ghost Cultivator let out a desperate scream, his pale face turning completely black.
Leo recalled the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak and looked down on the Ghost Cultivator with a sneer. “Meeting me can only be blamed on your bad luck.”
The Ghost Cultivator chuckled strangely. “I’ve roamed the realms of Yin and Yang for over a thousand years. I’ve encountered far more formidable opponents than you. Although you’ve injured me fundamentally, do you think you can kill me?”
As the Ghost Cultivator spoke, he began forming hand seals. Leo realized the situation wasn’t good and gripped the Blue Phantom Sword, thrusting it directly at the Ghost Cultivator.
However, he was a step too late. Before the Ghost Cultivator’s body disappeared, he left behind a final statement. “Bastard, I’ll remember you. If you have the ability, come to the underworld and kill me. Otherwise, once I recover, I will seek revenge!”
The Ghost Cultivator’s voice finally vanished, leaving a slightly chilly breeze. In the distance, occasional chirping of crickets could be heard, and a few sparse stars in the night sky witnessed the recent events.
The battle had already damaged the Ghost Cultivator fundamentally, depriving him of the ability to withstand the invasion of positive energy in the mortal realm.
Leo estimated that without a healing cultivation of at least ten to twenty years, the Ghost Cultivator wouldn’t dare to return to the mortal realm.
As for the underworld, Leo didn’t want to waste his energy trying to decipher it. After all, no one lived there.
He retraced his steps, hailed a taxi on the way, and returned to the hospital.
In the special care ward, Madame and Edwina stood guard beside Marsh.
When they saw Leo return, Madame’s face brightened. “Leo, is everything resolved? Are you okay?”
Her gaze fell on Leo’s abdomen, and she worriedly said, “Your clothes…”
Leo glanced down at his torn clothes on his abdomen and smiled. “I’m fine. Everything is resolved.”
He found paper and a pen in the ward and wrote a prescription, handing it to Edwina. “Mrs. Godwin, once Mr. Godwin wakes up, follow this prescription to prepare the medicine. Give it to him three times a day for half a month-morning, noon, and night. After half a month, he will fully recover.”
Edwina quickly took the prescription. At this point, she had no doubts about Leo’s miraculous abilities.
The doctor had already examined Marsh, and his vital signs were stable. He would wake up before midnight tonight.
The attending physician was also amazed by Marsh’s condition, claiming to have practiced medicine for half a lifetime and never witnessed such a miraculous event.
Madame and Leo found something to eat near the hospital and then booked two rooms in a nearby hotel.
Madame had a task to do, but she applied for an extended stay in the capital, wanting to stay until her father fully recovered and was in good health.
On the third morning, the plane they boarded landed at Langstel International Airport.
Madame didn’t rush back to the agency. Instead, she brought Leo to the Crescent Lake.
“Leo, thank you for saving my father,” Madame said, her eyes locked onto Leo’s.
If someone were to ask Leo which woman had the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen, besides Sophia, it would be Madame.
Madame’s eyes were not seductive in the slightest, but clear and pure, like the brightest stars in the night sky.
“Madame, we’re friends. You’re being too polite,” Leo smiled.
“Friends…” Madame lowered her gaze, her voice softening. “I heard… you seem to have gotten divorced…”
“It’s not ‘seem,’ it’s true,” Leo replied frankly.
“In that case…” A hint of coyness appeared on Madame’s face, resembling that of a young woman.
This coyness created a stark contrast in Leo’s mind.
You see, in Leo’s heart, Madame had always been a violent policewoman.
Leo coughed lightly and smirked, “You don’t happen to be interested in pursuing me, do you?”
“What did you say?” Madame suddenly looked up, giving Leo a threatening look.
A policewoman is still a woman, and her ability to change expressions is fast. Leo hurriedly said, “I didn’t say anything…”
“Be careful!” Madame suddenly reached out and pushed Leo away.
“Bang!”
The car directly sent Madame flying, landing in the Crescent Lake.
Leo, being pushed aside, regained his balance. Without hesitation, he jumped into the Crescent Lake and swiftly swam towards the spot where Madame fell into the water.
The car performed a beautiful drift and disappeared from the scene.
In the shortest time possible, Leo found Madame and carried her ashore.
After using his divine sense to check Madame’s body, he was relieved to find that she was wearing the Purple Thunder Crocodile armor he had given her. She had only fainted temporarily and was otherwise unharmed.
Just as Leo was about to wake Madame up, his divine sense detected that there was still danger present.
He took off his coat and covered Madame, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes as he walked forward.
The car that had intended to hit Leo hadn’t left but stopped not far ahead.
Two masked men got out of the car, each holding a knife, and charged towards Leo.
Their eyes were cold and ruthless. Without saying a word, they stabbed their knives at Leo.
Their techniques were skilled!
It was clear that they were professional killers!
Leo extended both his left and right hands, catching the incoming knives with his bare hands.
A powerful killing intent erupted from Leo’s body.
