Chapter 278 A Fleeting Reunion
'She's really enlightened huh…' seeing the surging spirit qi creating a vortex around the valiant-looking blond beauty with herself as the center, the immortal-like young man thought to himself, the familiar sensation of the entire surrounding joyously circling around a person undergoing an enlightenment appearing in front of him once more, making him wonder just how much more time will he see it in the future.
While the beauty he is currently protecting is trying to figure out what this enlightenment is all about, the immortal-like young man directed his attention towards the Calamity Beast still trying its best to attack the valiant-looking beauty, who is currently protected completely as she is encased in a barrier made from his soul power, allowing only spirit qi and air to come inside.
"We can't have you throwing a fit like that now, can we?" looking at the abomination that is the amalgamation of rotting flesh of a lot of creatures, Su Xiaotian points his finger out towards the massive lump of incomprehensible mess, the Calamity Beast, his soul power surging out from his being and completely encapsulating the beast inside of it, preventing any sort of movement from any part of its now just goop like body.
Once he finished sealing the Calamity Beast once again, the people with stronger ability situated inside the Frontier City, as well as those who are capable of seeing through such a long distance, couldn't help but gasp in amazement as they witnessed the god-like young man suppressing the Calamity Beast effortlessly once again, making their worship towards him to grow even more.
While the citizens of the Frontier City are watching him however, the immortal-like young man just stands there motionlessly as he knows that there is nothing more he can aid with in this situation, and how the valiant-looking blond beauty will enlighten, as well as what she will get from such enlightenment completely depends on herself now.
Time passes by quite quickly, the vortex of ambient spirit qi surrounding the valiant-looking beauty starts to dissipate as her hands move, her grip on the guandao even tighter than before, the cracks seen on its metallic handle saying so much about how much force she is exerting right now, a force that almost destroys her treasured guandao if not for the fact that her qi continuously supplements the broken parts.
"She's really talented…" looking at the bright glow coming out of her guandao, Su Xiaotian couldn't help but praise her once again, marveling at the fact that someone like her is born in this backwater world, a potential star that reaches the same talent as the top tier talents from his world, a beauty that is probably dead inside the stomach of this abomination now if not for his timely intervention back when they first met.
Appreciating just how much she has grown in such a short period of time, the immortal-like young man smiles as he saw her open her emerald green eyes, the cold glow coming from it causing everything in the surrounding to seemingly focus on it, her eyes seeing something that no normal person can, points of bright light directly in the Calamity Beast's body.
Despite seeing this for the first time in her life, she seems to just naturally know that these points of light are the weak spots of the Calamity Beast, something that will definitely deal a lot of damage to the massive chunk of flesh should she managed to hit it with her weapon, a weapon that seems to be filled to the brim with her qi right now, the cold glowing light gradually turning purple near the edge of it.
Seeing a spot significantly larger than the rest of the Calamity Beast's weak spot right in the center of its body mass, the valiant-looking blond beauty closes her eyes once again, taking a deep breath before opening her eyes, lowering her stance and changing her position into a thrusting one, her eyes completely focused on the weakness in the very middle of the Calamity Beast.
"Die"
Uttering one word, she thrust her guandao forward, its momentum being carried with such efficiency that the air around it part ways once the force of the thrust propagates out from her weapon, a short purple streak of light flashing through the sky before everything returns to normal, making the people, except for the immortal-like young man, wonder what did just happened.
The only thing that changes once that purple streak of light disappear is the fact that on where the Calamity Beast's core is supposed to be, a large hole enough to fit five humans end to end replaces the spot, the extremely vigorous life force of the Calamity Beast, known to be unkillable and immortal since the establishment of the Frontier City, is currently slipping out of its body more and more.
A proof to this fact is the scene currently happening, the Calamity Beast losing its body mass more and more, its massive black gathering of dead corpses and amalgamation of all sorts of things now dissolving into a stomach-turning lake of unidentified goo, the black flesh even popping out some of the liquids contained in its body.
Seeing the scene, the immortal-like young man merely gave a handkerchief to the sweat-filled valiant-looking beauty, nodding at her as she accepts the handkerchief before he waves his hands once again, casting flame invoked from his transcendent qi in order to purify the flesh of the Calamity Beast.

Seeing this act, not only Astaria, but also all of the citizens of the Frontier City couldn't help but shed tears in their eyes, crying as they simultaneously bow towards the immortal-like young man in an act of respect, something that they rarely show to outsiders no matter how strong they are.
"Thank you for honoring the dead, City Lord Su!!!"
"Thank you for honoring the dead, City Lord Su!!!"
"Thank you for honoring the dead, City Lord Su!!!"
Speaking simultaneously, all the living people in the Frontier City shouted with hoarse voice towards the immortal-like young man, their voice, despite being so far away from the young man, reaches through the voice of their City Lord who also utters the same words, granting the immortal-like young man with the same status as hers.
"There's no need for thanks between us, right? I believe we are already far beyond that stage" merely smiling at her words, the immortal-like young man replies while moving his hand to pat the beauty's head, the beauty willingly accepting it as she closes her eyes, a single drop of tear flowing through her closed eyes as she saw the image of her parents, the memory of the three of them playing around in the courtyard of their abode, her young self innocently watching in amazement and worship as her parents performed martial arts in front of her emerging in her mind.
Now once again seeing them in the attire they wear before they are taken away by the Calamity Beast, the beauty couldn't help but cry as they opened their mouths, clearly saying something they always say back when they're alive, something that she had always taken for granted back then.
"We love you and we always will, our child" the two of them speaks silently before they show her a doting parental smile, before their figures disappear into thin air where they emerge.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
