Chapter 1926: Chapter 1922: Courtesy Demands Reciprocity! (First Update)
Xue An’s indifferent attitude stirred up a commotion among the crowd.
The followers of Xiao Tiansha were especially furious, clamoring loudly.
"How dare you act so presumptuously in front of the Young Master, you’re courting death."
"Exactly, I’ve had enough of him. Let’s kill him first!"
Xiao Tiansha also gazed at Xue An with a face like the calm before a storm and suddenly waved his hand, causing his followers to immediately quiet down.
Then, Xiao Tiansha said coldly, "It seems you have great confidence in yourself!"
Xue An smiled slightly, "I have always been very confident in myself."
Xiao Tiansha snorted coldly, "Then I’ll be waiting and watching, hoping you can maintain such composure later."
Saying that, Xiao Tiansha glanced at the elders from Shangqing Mountain in the distance.
Understanding the signal, one of them shouted loudly, "The Thousand Sect Mysterious Assembly officially begins!"
Boom!
With his command, countless rays of light shot up around the arena, exploding in the sky and transforming into brilliant fireworks.
The atmosphere heightened to a climax as a result.
Everyone, whether present or not, eagerly anticipated and found various ways to witness this once-in-a-century grand event.
On the arena, the situation quickly turned chaotic.
The rule of the Thousand Sect Mysterious Assembly is every combatant for themselves. If you think you are strong enough, challenging the reigning champion from the last tournament is not prohibited.
Of course, anyone with a bit of sense wouldn’t do such a thing.
After all, that’s basically seeking death.
Moreover, this year’s assembly is different from previous ones. Xiao Tiansha, the top of the Jade Ranking, was clearly burning with anger, staring intently at Xue An across the way, and stepped forward to make a move.
A great battle was about to break out.
But just then, a tall figure suddenly shot out from behind Xiao Tiansha, shouting, "Young Master, please step back, let me handle this brat!"
Before finishing his words, the person rushed up to Xue An, then said grimly, "Kid, today is the day you die!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand, with faint lightning flickering in his palm, and struck down.
Xiao Tiansha, seeing this, paused in his steps.
The one who made the move was Lei Yang, the young Hall Master of Thunderfire Temple, who usually had a good relationship with him. This person was extremely powerful, far surpassing the previous Qing Hailou’s Jie Gaohan, ranking seventeenth on the Jade Ranking.
And with his short-tempered nature, he loved fighting. Since he was making a move now, it was perfect for probing this white-clad youngster’s depth.
If he could settle this white-clad youngster then, even better.
With these thoughts, Xiao Tiansha could not help but stand by and watch coldly.
As the name suggests, Thunderfire Temple specializes in Thunder System arts.
Despite his young age, Lei Yang was a Half-step Immortal King powerhouse, and his Thunder Dao cultivation was unfathomable.
As his palm struck down, even the heavens and earth seemed to shudder.
Xue An did not dodge or evade, only smilingly watched.
Seeing that his palm was about to hit Xue An, a look of ferocious delight appeared on Lei Yang’s face.
To have such hubris, not even dodging, is truly courting death.
One should know the power of this palm. Even an Immortal King wouldn’t dare to face it lightly.
But just as this palm barely touched Xue An’s clothing, Xue An suddenly blew a breath.
That’s right!
He literally blew a breath.
Yet it was this breath that made the lightning attached to Lei Yang’s palm flicker like a candle in the wind, and then... it extinguished.
Lei Yang was shaken all over, hardly daring to believe his eyes.
No one had ever used such a method to break his thunder magic before.
This was simply unbelievable.
And while Lei Yang was momentarily dazed, Xue An smiled faintly, "It seems your lightning isn’t that useful either!"
As the words fell, Xue An reached out and directly grasped Lei Yang’s shoulders.
Lei Yang trembled all over, trying to break free.
But how could Xue An give him this chance? Xue An’s face showed a cold smile.
"Reciprocity is a courtesy. Since you just tried to kill me, I shall send you on your way now."
Saying that, Xue An shook his arms, exerting overwhelming force to tear at Lei Yang’s body.
Lei Yang was almost petrified with fear because he discovered in terror that his entire prowess was being forcibly suppressed, effectively turning him into an ordinary person.
This was enough to strike fear into his heart, and the excruciating pain from being torn apart made him scream out in sheer terror, "Ahhh, Young Master Xiao, save me!"
As soon as the plea was spoken, with a muffled sound, Lei Yang was torn in half by Xue An.
Blood mixed with innards splattered all over, the thick stench of blood instantly spreading, shocking everyone in the arena. Many prodigies from other sects paused their battles, looking on in horror at the scene.
Then Xue An clapped his hands gently, saying indifferently, "How’s this for an opening act?"
With that, Xue An stepped forward, directly on top of Lei Yang’s recently disembodied soul.
Crack.
Lei Yang’s soul screamed in agony and then shattered, extinguished entirely.
Such decisive and ruthless means left even these death-hardened prodigies stunned.
Xiao Tiansha’s eyes narrowed instantly to pinpricks.
He had thought that, even if Lei Yang couldn’t defeat Xue An, he could last a few moves to help probe Xue An’s depth.
But he didn’t expect Lei Yang to be torn in two by Xue An after just one move, his very soul extinguished.
This level of strength made Xiao Tiansha’s heart sink, his expression turning extremely grave.
"Who exactly are you?"
"Me?" Xue An raised an eyebrow slightly, smiling subtly, "I was invited by the Execution God Temple as an external aid, didn’t you forget?"
"Impossible! With the Execution God Temple’s strength, how could they possibly invite a master like you? Tell me, who are you really? What is your purpose here?" Xiao Tiansha demanded in a deep voice.
Xue An’s lips gradually curved into a smile, "Since you are so eager for an answer, I’ll tell you. My name is Xue An!"
Xue An?
The name echoed through the crowd, leaving many confused, feeling the name was familiar but unable to remember where they’d heard it suddenly.
Suddenly, someone remembered, exclaiming, "Red Lotus Immortal Venerable, he’s the reincarnated Red Lotus Immortal Venerable!"
Boom!
This sentence was like a bomb going off, turning the entire crowd upside down.
Xiao Tiansha’s face turned pale, "You really are Red Lotus Immortal Venerable?"
Xue An nodded with a smile, "If there’s no one else with the same name, then it should be me you’re talking about!"
With these words, the aura around Xue An suddenly changed, from the previous gentle and elegant to wildly fierce.
