Chapter 1725: Chapter 1721: Half a Friend (First Update)
"Who are you?" Fu Lanqing asked with a gloomy expression.
Unexpectedly, Xue An didn’t pay him any attention and instead smiled slightly at Jian ZaiXin.
"Since you’re a disciple of the Jian Sect, what is Li Jingxing to you?"
Hearing the name Li Jingxing, Jian ZaiXin’s expression changed dramatically, and he looked at Xue An with reverence. Then he respectfully said, "He is my grandmaster!"
Xue An nodded, "No wonder your Sword Intent carries his aura!"
"Mister, may I ask who you are?" Jian ZaiXin couldn’t help but ask.
"Me?" Xue An smiled, "Technically speaking, I could be considered half a friend of your grandmaster!"
Half a friend?
What does that mean?
Jian ZaiXin was filled with confusion.
At the same time, being ignored entirely, Fu Lanqing could no longer suppress his rage and roared, "Where did this brat come from, daring to act so mysterious in front of me?"
As he spoke, Fu Lanqing raised his hand and slashed out a sword.
To know that the Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand was refined with the blood of countless living beings, and each strike had the power to make gods and ghosts avoid it.
But before the sword could reach, Xue An slightly raised an eyebrow.
"Noisy!"
Just these two simple words seemed to have the weight of a thousand pounds, directly shattering the Sword Intent.
And under the aftermath, Fu Lanqing was blasted away as well.
He was sent flying to the edge of the square before he could barely stop, but upon landing, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Just a mere shout, yet it severely injured Fu Lanqing.
The entire scene fell silent.
Everyone’s eyes widened as they stared blankly.
The burly man, who was groaning with his arms crossed just a moment ago, immediately closed his mouth, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.
He never imagined that the seemingly gentle and refined young man would have such overwhelming power.
Thinking about how he dared to be disrespectful to such a powerful figure before, the burly man’s heart was filled with fear.
Meanwhile, Fu Lanqing finally stopped bleeding. He looked up at Xue An in shock.
To this moment, he still didn’t understand how he got injured.
Because from beginning to end, he hadn’t sensed any aura fluctuation from Xue An, who seemed just like an ordinary person.
But even so, just a shout gravely injured him!
What kind of Immortal technique is this?
Amid the silence, Xue An shook his head slightly, full of disappointment, and said, "Too weak!"
"With such a low Cultivation Level, you dare to show off your prowess? Who gave you the courage?"
Hearing this, Fu Lanqing couldn’t help but cough up more blood.
Xue An paid no attention to any of this. He looked up at the ceiling and said indifferently, "Don’t you all find it pitiful?"
Pitiful?
Many people had confused expressions, not understanding what Xue An meant.
"Sacrificing your lives, killing each other, but in the end, it’s nothing more than a game or amusement in some existences’ eyes. Tell me..."
Xue An lowered his head and gazed at everyone, "Isn’t this pitiful?"
Hearing this, an old man hiding in the crowd, pretending to be dead, had a bright gleam in his eyes, looking at Xue An with astonishment.
How... how does he know these things? Could it be that he has memories before being captured by the Seal?
But soon, the glow in his eyes faded, and he returned to his half-dead appearance.
Fu Lanqing’s expression changed drastically as well, "You..."
"You want to ask how I know these things, right?" Xue An smiled slightly, "I not only know, but I also know why you’re able to live like a tyrant in this Slaughter Hell because behind you, there is someone intentionally letting you be, am I correct?"
Before Xue An could finish, Fu Lanqing shouted, "Together, kill him, or none of us will survive!"
As he finished speaking, his subordinates swarmed towards Xue An.
Xue An remained calm, his eyes flashed, and a Sword Light appeared before him.
Then the Sword Light split into two, and two into four...
In an instant, countless Sword Lights filled the air.
"No, retreat quickly!" Faced with the Sword Light, Fu Lanqing at the front screamed in terror.
But it was too late.
Before he could react, the Sword Lights rushed forward.
Thud, thud, thud!
With dull sounds, where the Sword Lights passed, blood spurted, heads rolled.
When the Sword Lights dispersed, the scene was revealed.
The previously arrogant Fu Lanqing and his men had turned into corpses.
Blood stained the ground, and the thick stench of blood was nauseating.
Yet, no one dared to make a sound.
Even Jian ZaiXin was stunned by the scene before him.
But at that moment, the cold voice echoed again in the void.
"Detected an irreversible error during the hunt. Restarting immediately, everyone return to your rooms immediately, violators will be killed without mercy!"
With the voice, the square started transforming, and the surrounding rooms began to move slowly, as if on the brink of disassembling.
Seeing this, everyone was startled.
But Xue An laughed.
"Kill without mercy? You think you deserve to do so!"
With that, Xue An’s sword-like eyebrows rose, his eyes shot bright light, then he leapt up, his fist struck the sky.
Thud!
With a muffled sound, everyone felt a shock through their bodies.
The ceiling, once glowing with white light, began to flicker and issued a piercing alarm sound.
"Warning, everyone return to your rooms immediately, or be killed without mercy!"
Accompanied by the alarm, a brilliant light shadow suddenly appeared in the void, surging towards Xue An with thunderous might.
But Xue An didn’t even glance at it and struck another punch.
Crack!
This time, cracks spread across the entire ceiling.
As for the light shadow, it was sent flying by Xue An.
The old man gazed at Xue An’s back excitedly, his eyes shining with wonder.
"Has someone finally managed to break this prison?"
As he finished speaking, Xue An launched a third punch.
Bang!
With an explosion, the entire ceiling shattered.
Amidst flying dust, screams could be heard from outside.
"Oh no, they’ve escaped!"
"Run!"
Hearing these screams, Xue An laughed coldly, then stepped out of the Slaughter Hell to the outside.
It was a place resembling an arena, the broken square underneath was the Slaughter Hell that trapped everyone.
All around were stands, and floating above them, light screens.
They were broadcasting the scenes from within the Slaughter Hell.
