Chapter 299: Chapter 217: A Peerless Expert? The Peerless Sword Immortal!_2

[In that instant, time seemed to freeze. The Jade Sword floated past all his defenses and accurately pierced his vital point. There was no blood splattering violently, only an assassin dying suddenly.]

[Everything happened too swiftly and silently, the only thing left frozen on the assassin’s face was the last expression of surprise and despair.]

Bai Shi replayed this imagined scene continuously in his mind, thoroughly contemplating every detail.

He envisioned the small sword, after fulfilling its mission, silently returning to its original place as if nothing had ever occurred, leaving behind a corpse as the sole testament to its existence.

This outcome, along with the facts, proved one thing.

His buddy, Chen Yun, wasn’t just an exceptional master, he was a...

Peerless Sword Immortal!

A celestial being that should not exist in real life.

This revelation strongly shook his worldview.

He began to organize his thoughts, attempting to construct a logical explanation for everything that happened today.

But no matter how he reasoned, he couldn’t escape the keyword "supernatural".

Bai Shi sat on the cold ground, his gaze moving back and forth between the inconspicuous Jade Sword and the dead assassin, his heart filled with complex emotions.

He tried to understand it all, but the line between reality and fantasy was becoming blurred in his eyes.

Chen Yun, his friend who always seemed a bit mysterious, actually possessed such extraordinary abilities, overturning his understanding of the world.

Could it be that the world wasn’t as he always knew it to be?

What then, is the reality...

Bai Shi slowly picked up the small Jade Sword, a cool and smooth sensation passed from his fingertips, seemingly retaining the aftertaste of that incredible strength from moments before.

The blood-stained blade, under the dim light, refracted a faint green glow, seeming both mystical and eerie.

A sense of awe arose in Bai Shi’s heart, along with a hint of gratitude, for that power was on his side.

Why did Chen Yun seem so impressive?

Now, there was a reasonable explanation in Bai Shi’s mind because Chen Yun was no ordinary person.

Chen Yun’s phrase, "To see the sword is to see me,"

now carried tremendous weight, making Bai Shi realize the true meaning behind those words and their significance.

It was the kind of reassuring confidence one could utterly rely on.

Subtly,

Bai Shi recalled the news of Jiang Anping’s sudden recovery from a congenital illness.

It seemed...

that it was after Bai Shi told Chen Yun about Jiang Anping’s worsening condition that Jiang Anping miraculously regained his health the following day.

Having discovered Chen Yun’s special trait,

and recalling that Jiang Anping also possessed a Jade Sword gifted by Chen Yun,

he absolutely refused to believe there was no connection between Jiang Anping’s recovery and Chen Yun.

Thinking back on Chen Yun’s words when gifting the Jade Sword, Bai Shi realized,

this Jade Sword was not just a souvenir from a friend.

It was nothing less than a treasure that could be considered a family heirloom!

For them, how was it different from a divine talisman?

If placed in a fantasy novel,

it would be the ace up the sleeve prepared by a powerful entity for their juniors, not to mention how secure it made one feel.

Contemplating,

Bai Shi couldn’t help but grip the Jade Sword tightly,

now more aware than anyone of the true value of the Jade Sword.

Not because of how precious the material was,

but because it symbolized the promise of a Sword Immortal who considered you a friend.

It’s not something that money could buy,

even if Bai Shi were offered one hundred billion US dollars, he wouldn’t even frown before he refused.

"Chen Yun..."

Bai Shi muttered the name softly, his mind replaying all the moments they had shared since they met.

The mundane past now sharply contrasted against today’s extraordinariness, forcing him to reassess the significance behind their friendship.

Just then, his phone vibrated.

The screen lit up, displaying a QQ voice message.

It was from Chen Yun.

A feeling of inexplicable nervousness rose in his heart, Bai Shi opened QQ and heard Chen Yun’s calm voice tinged with a teasing note:

"I really don’t feel like taking care of your girlfriend."

This was a response to a message Bai Shi had sent to Chen Yun before taking action.

Seeing this,

Bai Shi’s eyes suddenly reddened.

The words might seem like a joke, but they made Bai Shi feel an overwhelming warmth and reassurance he had never known before.

In this perilous afternoon, knowing that his distant friend still cared for him, that friendship felt more real and precious than any supernatural phenomenon.

He realized that whether as a Sword Immortal or simply as a friend, Chen Yun’s attitude towards him never changed, and this sincerity beyond identities moved him deeply.

Being a pirate, he had never experienced anything like this in his past life,

but now, in retirement, he found sincere sentiments from many people.

This slowly solidified a thought in his heart.

"Thank you, Chen Yun,"

Bai Shi whispered in response.

Even though the other party couldn’t hear him, his thanks came from the bottom of his heart.

He wiped the corner of his eye, a smile forming on his lips, his heart filled with strength and determination. He knew, regardless of what the future held, with such a friend behind him, he had nothing to fear.

Then, Bai Shi took a deep breath, ready to reply to Chen Yun’s message.

He wanted to tell Chen Yun everything that had happened, but he also worried about causing unnecessary trouble for Chen Yun, after all, Chen Yun’s world might be far more complex than he could imagine.
