Translator: 549690339
An Qing shuddered, her voice escaping in alarm, “You… do you really intend to annihilate the Xie Family?”
Xue An nodded.
“How is that possible? The Xie Family’s power is immense, and they have many experts. It’s even rumored that there is an old ancestor who hasn’t appeared in the world for a long time watching over them. You are just one person, how can you be their match?” An Qing said in disbelief.
Xue An smiled but didn’t directly answer An Qing’s question. Instead, he said lightly, “Look, the wind is picking up!”
“What about it?” An Qing was somewhat puzzled.
“Have you ever heard a saying?” Xue An pushed open the window, and the roaring wind rushed in.
“What saying?”
“When the wind is high and the night is dark… it’s the night for murder!” Xue An said lightly, stepping into the void.
A tremendous aura surged from Xue An’s body, seemingly causing the heaven and earth to change color.
“Take good care of Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian, I’ll be back soon,” Xue An said, his figure gradually fading into the darkness.
An Qing stood before the window, her spirit in disarray.
Xue An’s few words had given her a great shock.
In her eyes, the powerful household that was difficult to deal with was seen by Xue An as nothing more than a small dish that could be destroyed at will.
Then in Xue An’s eyes, was the An Family the same?
An Qing fell into deep thought.
At this moment, the Xie Family’s mansion was brightly lit.
Xie Tianci’s father, and the current Family Head Xie Xuan, sat on the sofa with a gloomy expression.
The news of Xie Tianci’s death had already been brought back.
Xie Xuan was, of course, furious.
He was quite fond of this youngest son of his.
But he had never thought that someone would dare to kill his son right under his nose, in the provincial city.
Thinking of this, Xie Xuan’s heart was filled with towering murderous intent.
At this time, all the experts who were usually worshiped by the Xie Family had also gathered, and the hall was as silent as a graveyard.
After a while, someone hurriedly came in.
“Family Head, we have found out. The murderer is someone from the Qin Family of Beijiang, named Xue An.”
Xue An?
Xie Xuan frowned and looked at the experts behind him.
At this moment, the oldest and most revered person in the crowd stepped forward, “Family Head, I have roamed the martial world for decades, and I have never heard of any great master surnamed Xue.”
Xie Xuan respected this elder and nodded in greeting when he spoke.
“Master Tian. ”
This elder was none other than Tian Bin, Master Tian, who ranked fifth on the Heavenly List, known as the Bloody Hand Butcher, a devil who had committed countless murders in the past.
Later, he caused public outrage and finally disappeared from the public eye.
Unexpectedly, he was now with the Xie Family, and had even become their benefactor.
At this point, Tian Bin spoke gravely, “Family Head, I am willing to personally take men to capture this Xue An, to avenge the Second Young Master.”
Xie Xuan nodded, “In that case, I’ll trouble Master Tian.”
Tian Bin grinned viciously, “Family Head is too polite. Since someone dares to oppose our Xie Family, my name, Bloody Hand Butcher, is certainly not in vain!”
But at this moment, a calm voice came from outside.
“No need to capture me, I’ve come myself.”
Who?”
As everyone was startled, the doors and windows burst open, and the raging wind gushed in. Xue An slowly walked in, giving a chilling smile towards the people inside the room.
“I am Xue An!”
Xie Xuan abruptly stood, his gaze dark as he stared at Xue An, “Was it you who killed my son?”
Xue An nodded, “To be precise, it was his head that was crushed under my foot.’
“Kill him!” Xie Xuan’s eyes were bloodshot; he didn’t waste words, simply commanding coldly.
Tian Bin could hardly restrain himself any longer. In his eyes, this man seemed perfectly ordinary, and now was his chance to show off in front of the Family
Head.
With a grim smile, he said, “Boy, you’ve walked right into the trap, saving me the effort of capturing you. Die!”
As he spoke, Tian Bin raised his crimson palms, charging straight at Xue An.
The reason he was known as the Bloody Hand Butcher was due to his practice of an extremely vicious technique called the Bloody Hand Technique.
Once mastered, his hands turned as crimson as cinnabar.
His palms chopped down, bringing with them a wave of stench.
Xue An didn’t move but instead watched with interest.
A cold smile flickered in Tian Bin’s heart. He had been steeped in the art of the Bloody Hand for decades, extremely formidable, where even the slightest touch could lead to death or serious injury.
Yet this man didn’t dodge or flee.
You’re seeking your own death, and others are blameless. A fierce look flashed in Tian Bin’s eyes.
But just as his hands were about to touch Xue An’s clothes,
Xue An let out a shout, “Scram!”
To the bystanders, this shout was nothing out of the ordinary.
However, this nonchalant shout was like a heavy hammer, sending Tian Bin flying backward until he crashed into a wall and fell to the ground.
Amid the rising dust, Tian Bin’s chest caved in, and after spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, he died. This scene shocked everyone in the room.
One blow.
It wasn’t even a blow but a casual shout that took the life of the Bloody Hand
Butcher, ranked fifth on the Heaven List.
Just how profound was this man’s strength?
Xie Xuan’s expression grew darker and darker.
At this moment, Xue An let out a sigh, “He seemed quite formidable, but he couldn’t take even a single hit.”
Then Xue An looked around at everyone present and smiled faintly, “But don’t worry, tonight… none of you will escape.”
Xie Xuan’s face turned very ugly, but he still snorted coldly, “No wonder you dare to contend with our Xie Family in the provincial city, you indeed have some skills, but you didn’t inquire if our Xie Family is so easily provoked.”
Xue An heard this and shook his head with a light chuckle, “I know, your Xie Family relies on the presence of a Loose Immortal.”
Upon hearing this,
Xie Xuan’s complexion changed drastically.
This was a core secret of the Xie Family.
Although there were always rumors that the Xie Family still had an old ancestor alive, no one knew what realm the old ancestor had reached.
Yet this man had revealed it with a single comment.
Just who was he?
Xue An smiled faintly, “Don’t be so surprised, I think, that old ancestor of your family probably knows I’m here by now!”
With that, the aura around Xue An suddenly surged, its terrifying might causing everyone present to change color, and those with low cultivation levels even knelt on the ground.
The world itself seemed to change color, and the fierce wind bowed down, whimpering softly, not daring to approach Xue An.
Xue An said indifferently, “Since you know I’ve arrived, won’t you come out?”
His voice carried far.
No sooner had he finished speaking than an old and authoritative voice came from behind the villa nestled against the mountain and next to the water.
“Indeed, heroes emerge from the youth, but unfortunately… you are too arrogant!”
Upon hearing this voice, Xie Xuan couldn’t help but be overjoyed.
“It’s the old ancestor, the old ancestor has come out!”
At that moment, an elderly man with white hair and an imposing appearance slowly stepped out of the mountain behind the villa.
With each step he took, his aura grew stronger.
By the time he arrived in front of the villa, his aura had reached its peak, even completely overshadowing that of Xue An..
