Chapter 1720: Chapter 1716: In This Deadly Game, Let’s See Who Laughs Last (Second Update)
Upon witnessing this scene, the world first fell silent, then erupted into extremely enthusiastic cheers.
"Lord Xue is awesome (breaks the sound barrier)!"
"Ahhhh, Lord Xue is truly the greatest male god in history!"
Even the clown-like president of M Country couldn’t help but shout excitedly, "God bless us, we’ve won!"
Next to him, CIA Director Edward said seriously, "Mr. President, it’s not God’s blessing; it’s the credit of the Chinese powerhouse, Xue An!"
Amidst the external ruckus, Xue An’s complexion was somewhat pale.
After all, even with his current strength, losing a drop of Immortal King’s essence blood was quite substantial, and a single drop alone wouldn’t be enough to suppress this vortex.
If it weren’t for Xue An constructing countless barriers with Supreme Divine Consciousness to completely isolate heaven and earth, this vortex wouldn’t have complied so easily.
Upon witnessing this, An Yan’s heart was about to break, and she quickly flew over.
"Honey, you..."
Xue An shook his head and smiled lightly, "Don’t worry, I’m fine!"
At the same time.
The others had all rushed over.
Before anyone could speak, Xue An’s expression became extremely serious.
"Although I have suppressed this vortex for now, it’s merely a temporary measure. If the root of the problem isn’t resolved, it will all happen again!"
The people who had just relaxed immediately felt their hearts tighten upon hearing this.
"What should we do then? How do we solve the root of the problem?"
"Right, Lord Xue, please tell us plainly! To rid the world of demons, we’ll do anything, even go through fire and water."
Everyone’s eager gaze focused on Xue An.
Only Zhuge Cang remained silent, apparently having guessed something.
Sure enough.
Xue An gave a faint smile, "Solving the root of the problem is actually simple. It’s about delving into it and capturing the mastermind behind it all!"
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances.
But soon, the Fire Phoenix Special Forces took the lead in stepping forward.
"Instructor, let us go!"
"That’s right, Instructor, I’m going to crush the head of the one behind this mischief!"
Yu Ming and Zhang Chu, though silent, also stepped forward, showing their attitude through action.
But Xue An just lightly shook his head.
"I’m not boasting, but right now on earth, if anyone can enter, it’s just me!"
Suddenly, people understood Xue An’s meaning, leaving them all stunned.
Xue An turned to look at the vortex enshrouded in a blood-red glow and said calmly, "Moreover, they’ve set up such a deadly trap clearly waiting for me. If I don’t go, wouldn’t it waste their kind intentions?"
"Instructor, let me accompany you!" Zhou Daniu suddenly said.
Everyone’s eyes lit up.
"Yes, sir, let me accompany you!"
"I’ll go too!"
For a moment, voices rose like boiling water.
Xue An waved his hand, smiling, "I appreciate your goodwill, but you have more important tasks to accomplish. So, this time, I’m only taking one person!"
Saying this, Xue An turned to An Yan, "Yan’er!"
An Yan immediately walked up to Xue An, "Honey!"
"You’ll accompany me on this journey!"
"Alright!"
Without extra words, An Yan didn’t even consider why Xue An wanted to take her.
In her view, a couple should face hardships together. Now that her husband faced difficulties, how could she, as his wife, hide behind?
Seeing this, Xue An felt his heart warm and couldn’t help gently rubbing her hair, "Silly Yan’er, aren’t you afraid of danger?"
"Not afraid, as long as you’re here, I fear nothing!" An Yan said calmly.
"We aren’t afraid either!" Two little girls peeked from behind An Yan, boldly shouting.
Xue An laughed heartily, "Good! That’s my wife and daughter!"
Then he said seriously, "Yan’er, going inside this time means it’s time to resolve the seal on you!"
Xue An knew clearly that the seal on An Yan came from the Abyss.
That’s why he would take An Yan inside this time.
Because it’s an unavoidable matter.
Actually, the seal on An Yan didn’t need to be broken; it didn’t interfere with life, merely limiting cultivation level.
But Xue An had a different idea; although he pampered his wife, it didn’t mean he wanted to make An Yan a bird in a gilded cage.
On the contrary, Xue An hoped his wife would have her own dignity and character.
At the same time, Xue An glanced at Fan Mengxue and others eager to try, then shook his head.
"As I said, there’s no need for many people this time. You stay here and guard! If any situation arises, follow Zhuge Cang’s instructions!"
Fan Mengxue and Tang Xuan’er looked saddened but nodded.
Finally, Xue An glanced at Zhuge Cang, smiling, "Old Zhuge, after I leave, I’ll leave this place in your hands!"
Zhuge Cang laughed heartily, "No problem, as long as my old bones are here, this realm is safe!"
"Excellent!" Xue An nodded, "Then I’ll invite you for a drink upon my return!"
"Alright!"
After arranging everything, Xue An smiled slightly at everyone and then led An Yan straight towards the black vortex enshrouded in blood-red light.
Boom!
After a muffled sound, Xue An and An Yan’s figures instantly vanished.
Silence fell over the scene, worldwide included.
No one knew what awaited past the black vortex.
Hence, everyone’s hearts couldn’t help but tighten.
After a long silence, Xiao Rui, who hadn’t spoken and stayed behind Fan Mengxue, suddenly murmured with a raw voice.
"Big... brother!"
As she spoke, large teardrops burst forth, her body trembling in fear.
This cry clearly cast a shadow over the scene.
Fan Mengxue’s face turned pale, then she walked to a place not far from the blood-red seal, sat down, and began quietly waiting.
Seeing this, everyone else sat down in silence, each finding a spot.
Zhuge Cang sighed lightly at this, then gazed at the black vortex.
Xue, old brother, nothing must happen to you!
Exactly what kind of place is the Abyss?
An answer is hard to give.
For everyone might have a different response.
To many, it’s a dark place where all filth gathers.
Some think it’s where all hope is reborn.
But to Xue An, the Abyss is where all mysteries ultimately point.
So, he took immense risks to step into the darkness.
Surprisingly, after entering the dark vortex, a door appeared before him after not much distance.
A door exquisitely decorated, wildly contrasting with its surroundings.
Behind it lay all the answers Xue An sought.
Xue An held An Yan’s hand tightly, laughed lightly, "Let’s go! This kill-or-be-killed game, let’s see who laughs last!"
With these words, he gently pushed open the door and stepped inside.
