Invincible Over the World-Chapter 25 Another Annual Meeting

25 -25: Another Annual Meeting
After practicing the Asura Sword Technique on the back mountain for a while, Huang Xiaolong then trained in the Demon-suppressing Sword Technique.
In his previous life, although the Demon-suppressing Sword Technique was not as domineering as the Asura Sword Technique, its power was also formidable.
Typically, Huang Xiaolong could use the Demon-suppressing Sword Technique against enemies.
Once executed, the Demon-suppressing Sword Technique flowed from one sword strike to another, layering shadows of the blade round after round, becoming increasingly fierce towards the end, carrying the momentum to suppress all demons and eliminate all ghosts.
After practicing the Demon-suppressing Sword Technique for a while, the sunlight had become very intense, brilliantly shining to the extent that it felt scorching after a prolonged exposure.
Huang Xiaolong stopped and returned to Huang Family Manor.
When he got back to the small courtyard, Fei Hou was already waiting there.
“Sect Leader!” Fei Hou greeted respectfully as he saw Huang Xiaolong return, stepping forward.
He knew that at this time each day, Huang Xiaolong would return from practicing in the back mountain, so he specifically waited in front of the courtyard gate.
Huang Xiaolong nodded, walking into the courtyard, and asked, “How is your Arhat Sword Technique coming along?” Five months ago, Fei Hou’s meridians had completely connected, and Huang Xiaolong had imparted a set of the Arhat Sword Technique to him.
“Reporting to the Sect Leader, this subordinate has trained up to the Tenth Move,” Fei Hou replied respectfully, feeling grateful.
Not only had the Sect Leader completely connected his meridians, but he had also taught him the high-level “Combat Skill” Arhat Sword Technique.
In these ten months, after his meridians healed, his Combat Energy Cultivation had broken through once again.
“The Tenth Move.” Huang Xiaolong nodded.
It was no small feat for Fei Hou to have mastered the Arhat Sword Technique to the Tenth Move in less than six months.
“Squeak squeak squeak!” As Huang Xiaolong entered the courtyard, a small figure darted through the sky.
Huang Xiaolong didn’t dodge; the small figure landed on his shoulder—it was the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey.
A year had passed, and the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey’s form had not changed much.
Although there was no apparent change in its form, its strength had frighteningly surpassed even Huang Xiaolong’s; though now at the Fifth-stage Late Stage Peak, without using the Asura Sword Technique, he could not harm the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey.
“Little guy, did you go hunting demon beasts again these past few days?” Huang Xiaolong asked with a smile, looking at the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey on his shoulder.
It was precisely because the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey went to hunt a demon beast every few days and cultivated by consuming Demon Cores that its strength increased no slower than Huang Xiaolong’s, despite Huang Xiaolong possessing the Dual Birth Super Martial Soul.
Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but envy its ability to directly absorb Demon Cores for cultivation. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Upon hearing Huang Xiaolong’s question, the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey raised its hands, gesticulating wildly with excited and proud shrieks, boasting to Huang Xiaolong about its hunting achievements over the past few days.
Seeing the adorable demeanor of the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey, Huang Xiaolong chuckled, “Alright, alright, little guy, I know you’re very formidable.
That’s enough.”
The Soul-devouring Purple Monkey cocked its head, clearly conveying an “of course” attitude.
Huang Xiaolong shook his head, then let the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey go play on its own while he himself started sparring with Fei Hou using the Demon-suppressing Sword Technique.
Of course, during the sparring, Fei Hou suppressed his Combat Energy to the Fifth-stage Late Stage Peak.
In these two months, through sparring and exchanging blows with Fei Hou, a Tenth Order Expert, Huang Xiaolong enriched his practical combat experience significantly.
However, while Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou were sparring, the previously dismissed Soul-devouring Purple Monkey ran back and suddenly leaped at Fei Hou in an attack.
Consequently, what started as a sparring session between Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou turned into a chaotic scenario where two men and a monkey were attacking each other—sometimes it was Huang Xiaolong attacking the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey, the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey attacking Fei Hou, and Fei Hou attacking Huang Xiaolong, and other times it was Huang Xiaolong and the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey teaming up against Fei Hou.
The entire courtyard was a flurry of sword shadows and monkey claws.
The claws of the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey were incredibly sharp, comparable to a Divine weapon, sometimes catching even the Combat Energy suppressed Fei Hou off guard and making him grimace.
With the presence of the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey and Fei Hou, Huang Xiaolong’s days of cultivation were far from monotonous and boring, but rather fulfilling and enjoyable.
Soon, another twenty or so days passed.
The end of the year approached.
Inside Huang Family Manor, just like previous years, lanterns were hung and decorations were set.
Guards, maids, and servants were all bustling about, creating an atmosphere of festivity.
“Another family gathering next year!” Huang Xiaolong stood in the courtyard, watching the snow falling from the sky.
The snow was very white and pure.
He reached out his hand, snowflakes landed on his palm, feeling somewhat cold.
It had been three years since it last snowed, Huang Xiaolong liked sunshine but also enjoyed snowy days, which seemed to cover all the ugliness and filth of the world.
Fei Hou stood two meters behind Huang Xiaolong, attending to him.
“I wonder what Li Lu is doing now?” Huang Xiaolong thought to himself.
After returning from Li Mansion’s birthday celebration, Huang Xiaolong had been taken by his father Huang Peng to visit Li Lu twice.
Since the banquet, Li Lu had become much quieter and, like Huang Xiaolong, plunged into fervent cultivation.
The snow continued to fall, quickly covering Huang Xiaolong in a thick layer.
Huang Xiaolong shivered, shook off the snow from his body, then turned and left the courtyard with Fei Hou heading toward the East Hall.
However, before reaching the East Hall, Huang Xiaolong heard his mother Su Yan’s crying voice.
Puzzled, he quickened his steps.
Walking into the Great Hall, he saw his mother Su Yan holding his sister Huang Min and brother Huang Xiaohai, both her eyes red from crying.
His father Huang Peng was also there, his face filled with anger.
His sister Huang Min had two clear red marks on her left and right cheeks, and his brother Huang Xiaohai’s mouth was broken and bleeding, with black and swollen eyes – clearly, they had been beaten.
“Who did this?” Huang Xiaolong asked angrily, looking at his sister and brother.
“Who else but Huang Wei!” Su Yan said through tears.
“Huang Wei!” A cold light flashed in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes.
It had to be him; within the bounds of Huang Family Manor, besides Huang Wei, no one else would dare to strike!
At that moment, his sister Huang Min cried, “Today, Xiao Hai and I were playing in the manor’s western garden.
When we were returning, we ran into Huang Wei and Zhou Xuedong.
Huang Wei said we were blocking his way and then he hit us!” Huang Min sobbed.
Su Yan continued through her tears, “Moreover, after brutally beating Min’er and Xiao Hai, Huang Wei stripped them of all their clothes!”
“What?!” Huang Xiaolong roared, a murderous intent flashing in his heart.
On such a snowy winter day, his sister and brother, who had not cultivated their Combat Energy, were stripped of all their clothes and could have frozen to death!
“Big brother, Huang Wei told me to tell you that he wants you to look out at tomorrow’s family gathering!” Huang Min said to Huang Xiaolong through her tears.
“He wants me to look out?” Huang Xiaolong suppressed his urge to kill.
Since the gathering was tomorrow, well, he would let Huang Wei enjoy one more day then.
A night passed.
The snow had stopped.
Dawn broke, but there was no sunlight.
Huang Xiaolong stopped his cultivation, left the courtyard with Fei Hou, and headed to the East Hall.
They then proceeded with his parents to the front hall.
Upon arriving at the front hall, many Huang Family elders, stewards, and disciples had already arrived.
Huang Xiaolong scanned the room and saw Huang Ming and his son, Huang Wei, already seated there.
