CHAPTER 488: CHAPTER 228 ARE YOU STACKING SKILL BUFFS HERE?_3

This is unscientific!

Could it be because of the sword in his hand?

With that thought, Su Yan immediately focused his gaze on the young man’s sword from a distance of several kilometers, scrutinizing it over and over.

It was a Tachi Sword. The blade was about a meter and a half long, its entire length a somewhat dull, golden-yellow hue. Upon closer inspection, a faint, deep purple halo could be seen swirling around the blade. Unlike the purple qi from the Exotic Flower Fruits, the purple on this blade was filled with a murderous aura. Even from several kilometers away, Su Yan could feel an overwhelming Karma Force pressing down on him, putting both his spirit and body under immense pressure.

Soon, Su Yan shifted his gaze from the Demon Sword Muramasa in Qin Tao’s hand to the Famous Sword Kanesada he carried on his back. Unlike the murderous aura of the Demon Sword, the Famous Sword Kanesada was wreathed in strands of blinding white light, filled with a sacred aura. Clearly, these were two swords with opposing attributes. One overflowed with Karma Force. The other was supremely sacred. One evil, one righteous—a stark contradiction.

As if sensing Su Yan’s gaze, Qin Tao, who was floating above the Dragon corpse, suddenly turned his head to glance in Su Yan’s direction. However, it was just a fleeting glance. He quickly turned his attention back to the Dragon’s remains on the ground and took out a slightly yellowed Talisman Paper from his robes.

Su Yan found this Talisman Paper very familiar; he had seen one just like it this morning, held by the elder sister in the Mirror World. Apart from the different patterns on it, everything else—its size, color, and so on—was exactly the same.

Is this Old Ancestor of the Qin Family also connected to the Mirror World?

Su Yan mused, finding everything about the Mirror World increasingly mysterious.

BUZZ!

A piercing whoosh of air was heard. Qin Tao abruptly flung the Talisman Paper in his hand. It slapped onto the Dragon corpse on the ground with a SMACK. Then, in the very next moment, to Su Yan’s amazement, the Dragon corpse on the ground miraculously vanished without a trace.

No spatial fissures, no teleportation portals. It just vanished into thin air, right where it lay.

How was that done? Su Yan was utterly shaken, his curiosity about the yellow Talisman Paper piqued.

"That punch of yours earlier wasn’t bad."

Suddenly, the man’s voice came from behind him. Startled, Su Yan spun around in alarm. His eyes met the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family, who stood there empty-handed.

When? When had the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family appeared behind me? Was it the Talisman Paper?

At that moment, tumultuous waves of shock crashed through Su Yan’s mind. If the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family had wished me harm, I wouldn’t even know how I died. This feeling of powerlessness is overwhelming!

"We shall meet again if fate permits."

With those words, the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family’s figure flickered and then shot into the distance at extreme speed.

Watching the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family’s retreating figure, Su Yan fell into deep thought. He agonized: the next time I see the Old Ancestor, should I lay my cards on the table? Should I confess that I’m already involved with his Nth-generation great-granddaughter? And use that to get on his good side?

Just as Su Yan was pondering this, another voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

"The heavens are truly unfair! You were already so handsome in your past life; why are you still so good-looking after reincarnation?"

Su Yan turned at the voice and was greeted by the sight of an exceptionally unattractive Monk. His facial features were flat and plain, quite unappealing to look at—the type destined to be alone forever. Su Yan sized him up in under two seconds. And just like that, the Monk’s biological information panel popped up in the depths of his mind.

Holy shit! Seeing the Monk’s skill list, Su Yan couldn’t help but exclaim aloud. So many creature skills! Are you freaking kidding me? Is he stacking skill buffs or what?
