The gravely wounded Heavenly Demon fled into the distance, inwardly relieved.
Good thing he had agreed to those terms. Otherwise, had they truly fought all out, there was no telling who would have lived or died.
White Jade Capital!!
After that single strike, the Flying Sword circled around.
It returned to the White Jade Capital.
Li Ping'an sat down again and let out a soft breath.
He shook his head.
He had failed to kill the demon, though he had never expected otherwise.
He had not expected a single all-out sword strike to truly kill that Extraterrestrial Demons.
Gravely wounding him was already a very good result.
After this, the Heavenly Demon would presumably have to recuperate for some time.
He would not be able to come out and wreak havoc.
"Phew~"
Li Ping'an let out a long breath.
Tianyuanzi gazed into the distance, inwardly lamenting the missed opportunity.
The people on the outskirts remained stunned by that streak of Sword Qi for a good while before making their way to the prefect's residence one after another.
A few still refused to give up and pursued the direction the Sword Qi had taken.
They were probably wasting their efforts, though.
The Great An Kingdom's Director and Attendants all came together.
After all, the place where this Heavenly Demon had wreaked havoc was under their jurisdiction.
Li Ping'an, however, had already left, unwilling to deal with the hassle.
He left the remaining matters for them to handle.
Back in Willow Tree Alley.
Li Ping'an rubbed his aching forehead.
Every time he used a sword from one of the White Jade Capital's towers, he felt as though his spirit and vitality had been drained dry.
And the higher the floor, the stronger that feeling became.
Still, it was not so
