Chapter 484 Three Thousand White Hairs, All Cut Off in an Instant

A few breaths later, as Zhou Zhiruo landed in front of Gu Shaoan, Gu Shaoan noticed her slightly furrowed brows and asked, "Senior Sister, what's wrong?"

Zhou Zhiruo transmitted her voice with her true essence: "Junior brother, three hours ago, the elders and disciples stationed in Jiading Prefecture encountered a white-clad woman with a full head of white hair causing trouble in Jiading Prefecture and went to stop her. The woman injured the elders and disciples in a verbal dispute. After receiving the message, Master has rushed to Jiading Prefecture. A senior uncle on the mountain discovered that you were heading towards Senior Sun's direction, so Master asked me to inform you."

At this point, her gaze seemed to casually sweep over Jiang Nanyue, and then she continued to transmit her voice: "According to the injured elder, the one who made the move was a white-clad woman with a full head of white hair."

Upon hearing Zhou Zhiruo's words, Gu Shaoan's gaze darkened, and he looked up at Jiang Nanyue opposite him.

That glance wasn't sharp, but rather like cold water covering a stone, its calmness carrying a weight.

On the other hand, when Gu Shaoan's gaze fell on Jiang Nanyue, for some reason, her heart tightened and a chill ran down her spine.

Just as Jiang Nanyue's vigilance increased, Gu Shaoan's voice rang out.

"You're the one who injured the people from my Emei Sect stationed in Jiading Prefecture?"

In response to Gu Shaoan's question, Jiang Nanyue replied calmly, "For obstructing my business, it's just a minor punishment out of respect for you, Young Master Gu, and the Emei Sect."

Seeing that Jiang Nanyue neither concealed nor defended herself, but directly admitted it, Gu Shaoan narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

He didn't speak immediately, but turned to face Zhou Zhiruo and asked, "How are the injuries of my uncle and disciples stationed in Jiading Prefecture?"

Zhou Zhiruo replied truthfully, "As mentioned in the letter, a doctor has come to the camp to treat me. Although my injuries are severe, fortunately they are not life-threatening, but I will inevitably need several months of recuperation to recover."

Upon hearing that no one had died, Gu Shaoan's tense expression relaxed slightly.

He then said in a soft voice, "I'd like to trouble you, Senior Sister, to make another trip to Jiading Prefecture and inform Master that the murderer is on my side. I will handle the aftermath properly."

Zhou Zhiruo nodded slightly, then added with concern, "Junior brother, be careful."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Zhiruo glanced at Jiang Nanyue, then turned around and used her lightness skill again, her figure quickly rushing towards the mountaintop like a wisp of green smoke.

Noticing Zhou Zhiruo's actions, Jiang Nanyue slightly increased the speed of her internal energy circulation.

However, just as the internal energy within her body accelerated its circulation, Jiang Nanyue suddenly felt as if her aura was locked by this entire world.

In an instant, Jiang Nanyue felt as if the blood in her entire body had frozen, and she was surrounded by overwhelming pressure from all directions.

Under this pressure, the internal energy that was circulating within Jiang Nanyue's body momentarily stagnated.

"This feeling? How could this be?"

Seemingly sensing something, Jiang Nanyue looked up and met Gu Shaoan's golden eyes.

"It's him?"

Zhou Zhiruo was unaware of Jiang Nanyue's reaction.

With her light-footed skills activated, Zhou Zhiruo leaped several times, quickly ascending the cliff edge by stepping on protruding rocks until she reached the summit and disappeared from everyone's sight.

After Zhou Zhiruo had completely left, Gu Shaoan finally withdrew his inner energy, and his eyes returned to normal.

Then, Gu Shaoan turned his gaze to Sun Baifa, whose breathing had calmed down considerably, and asked in a normal tone, "Old Sun, do you want to continue playing?"

Sun Baifa shook his head with a wry smile and sighed, "This old hag is indeed quite strong. I'm 30% weaker than her, so I can't beat her."

Gu Shaoan nodded slightly to show his understanding, and then said, "Since Senior is no longer playing, I will settle the score with her next."

After saying this, Gu Shaoan slowly shifted his gaze back to the distant Jiangnan moon.

When their eyes met again, Jiang Nanyue's brows furrowed slightly.

Gu Shaoan's gaze was unusually indifferent at this moment, as if he were looking at an ordinary stone by the roadside, without any emotional fluctuation. This feeling of complete indifference and disregard made Jiang Nanyue feel a little displeased.

But in the next instant, the internal energy within Gu Shaoan's body and the sword intent hidden deep in his heart vibrated slightly in sync.

In an instant, an invisible force emanated from Gu Shaoan's body, spreading outwards like an invisible ripple from him.

The sounds of the wind, birdsong, and even the slightest noises in the valley seemed to be instantly suppressed by this immense force, disappearing completely and leaving only an eerie silence.

Even the fluttering fallen leaves were suspended in mid-air under the suppression of the powerful energy, and the world seemed to freeze at that moment.

At the same time, a strong tremor suddenly arose in Jiang Nanyue's heart. An uncontrollable sense of crisis was frantically warning her in her mind. That intuition made the hairs on her body stand on end.

Sensing something was wrong, Jiang Nanyue subconsciously activated her internal energy with all her might. Her protective energy instantly condensed into a pale golden membrane that expanded outward from her body, the energy rubbing against the air and producing a faint humming sound.

The next instant, under Jiang Nanyue's highly vigilant gaze, an invisible sword aura, no more than three inches long, seemed to condense out of thin air.

The sword energy appeared without any warning, taking shape in an instant, followed by a faint yet sharp screech in the air, like a divine weapon being drawn from its sheath.

The sword energy, as gentle as willow catkins, drifted silently toward her the moment it was generated. The sword energy appeared as light and effortless as willow catkins, seemingly without any power, but the instant Jiang Nanyue's gaze truly touched this wisp of sword energy, a chilling coldness suddenly shot up her spine.

She could even feel the sharpness emanating from the sword energy, as if a cold, sharp blade were gently grazing her skin.

In response, Jiang Nanyue let out a low shout, and the protective aura around her instantly solidified into a sturdy protective barrier. The pale golden light membrane suddenly thickened and brightened, emitting a dazzling light.

At the same time, her three thousand strands of white hair suddenly stood up under the pull of the energy, each strand rising like a sharp sword blade, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound.

Like a torrential downpour, it swept towards the sword energy in the sky.

The white hair cut through the air with a sharp, piercing sound. The energy clashed with the energy in the air, generating visible shockwaves that spread in all directions, causing the pebbles on the ground to roll around.

But the next second, in Jiangnan Yue's horrified gaze, her three thousand white hairs, which had roamed the martial world for many years and caused countless masters to die, were now like the most fragile sheet of paper meeting the sharpest scissors in the world when facing that sword energy, offering no resistance whatsoever.

With a piercing hissing sound, the white silk threads broke apart inch by inch at the edge of the sword energy, scattering in all directions.

Three thousand white hairs, all cut off in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the sword energy, which seemed as light and gentle as willow catkins, continued forward.

As if slicing through a thin film of water, the sword energy easily cut through the protective aura condensed around Jiangnan Yue's body, and then, as lightly and precisely as a breeze brushing against grass, it glided across Jiangnan Yue's smooth neck.

Jiangnan Yue suddenly felt a cool sensation creeping up her neck.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Nanyue felt her vision begin to spin.

When the dizzying sensation subsided, Jiang Nanyue suddenly saw a headless corpse in her field of vision.

Looking at the headless corpse that was gradually collapsing to the ground, Jiang Nanyue's eyes first flashed with confusion, and then, as if she had thought of something, her eyes suddenly narrowed.

But the next moment, Jiang Nanyue felt as if her eyelids were filled with lead, so heavy that she could no longer lift them.

It was only as Jiangnan Yue fell to the ground that the coldness in Gu Shaoan's eyes gradually dissipated.

Beside her, seeing the decapitated corpse of Jiang Nanyue, Sun Xiaohong was startled and almost screamed.

Sun Baifa, standing next to her, didn't react much better than Sun Xiaohong.

Having just fought Jiang Nanyue, Sun Baifa was naturally aware of Jiang Nanyue's strength.

Sun Baifa was certain that even at his peak, it would take him at least a hundred moves to defeat Jiang Nanyue.

But even such a person, despite his best efforts, could not withstand a single sword aura condensed by Gu Shaoan.

After Sun Baifa learned that Gu Shaoan's swordsmanship had reached the Heavenly Sword Realm, his strength could no longer be judged by ordinary standards.

Seeing a master of the same level as him so easily killed by Gu Shaoan, the shock still made Sun Baifa's eyelids twitch uncontrollably.

"Your strength is truly becoming more and more terrifying, as you can conjure a sword with your fingers!"

As he spoke, Sun Baifa looked at Gu Shaoan in front of him and his heart stirred.

"If that's the kind of strength, then Bai Xiaosheng might really have been killed by this kid."

In response to Sun Baifa's words, Gu Shaoan smiled gently, his expression calm.

Although both are at the same level of internal energy cultivation, a sword aura formed by the power of heaven and earth and mixed with Gu Shaoan's own sword momentum would require even ordinary martial artists at the Great Three Harmony Heaven and Man Realm to deal with with their full strength, let alone someone like Jiang Nanyue who relies on absorbing yang energy to replenish yin energy to enhance her power.

If Jiang Nanyue could withstand his sword energy, what about Xiang Yutian and other Celestial Realm experts who died in Yixiantian?
With a wave of his long sleeves, the corpse-dissolving water mixed with two streams of energy was injected into Jiang Nanyue's corpse. In less than a hundred breaths, Jiang Nanyue's corpse was completely dissolved.

After using his inner strength to shred Jiangnan Yue's remaining clothes and let them scatter in the wind, Gu Shaoan finally looked at Sun Baifa.

"Does Mr. Sun need to rest for a bit?"

Sun Baifa shook his head and said, "I'm not injured, why am I resting?"

As he spoke, Sun Baifa led Gu Shaoan to sit down at a bamboo table to the side.

Upon seeing this, Sun Xiaohong immediately went to the kitchen to make tea for the two of them.

After a short while, Sun Baifa spoke after taking a sip of tea: "Boy, is what happened at Yixiantian really as the court said? Did you personally kill Bai Xiaosheng, Si Hanfei, and Ba Shiba?"

Gu Shaoan smiled gently.

"I thought that Mr. Sun would continue to refrain from asking questions."

Upon hearing this, Sun Baifa seemed to realize something; his left hand, which was casually resting on his lap, stiffened for a moment before relaxing.
