Yuan Chengyu’s complexion changed drastically, and he exclaimed in shock, “Are you Xue An?”
Xue An nodded, then looked up at the sky and smiled faintly, “The weather is nice today, it’s a good day for killing!”
Yuan Chengyu’s gaze flickered uncertainly, and finally, gritting his teeth, he sneered, “Xue An, you killed my eldest son, and I haven’t settled the score with you yet, but now you’ve come to my doorstep? Come, kill him!”
As Yuan Chengyu gave the order, over a dozen Heavenly Human Realm experts suddenly rushed out from all directions.
Clearly well-practised in coordination, these men immediately sealed off all of Xue An’s escapes as soon as they made their move.
A cold smile appeared on the corners of Yuan Chengyu’s lips.
Ever since Yuan Zong Feng had fallen, fearing that others might seize the opportunity to seek revenge, he gathered heroes from all over the world and assembled these dozen or so Heavenly Human experts as his trump card.
Now, it seemed his strategy had paid off.
Even if Xue An were a Loose Immortal, he would have to retreat before the combined attack of over a dozen Heavenly Beings.
But the smile that had just formed on Yuan Chengyu’s face abruptly froze.
Xue An faced the ferocious onslaught without dodging or evading, he even stepped forward, directly confronting it.
At the same time, he uttered a light shout.
“Divine Slaughter!”
Boom.
The fourth technique of the Divine Slaughter Six Techniques was once again unleashed.
This time, its power had increased by more than a hundredfold compared to before.
The Heavenly Human experts had been full of confidence, believing they could at least force Xue An back if not kill him.
But after Xue An’s light shout.
All of these men were blown away by a terrifying force.
Those who directly confronted Xue An died instantly on the spot.
Those who survived were all rendered incapacitated.
One strike.
Had repelled the joint attack of over a dozen Heavenly Human experts.
The faces of all the Yuan Family members changed simultaneously.
Most notably Yuan Chengyu, who stood there in stunned silence, murmuring to himself, “How… how is this possible?”
Xue An walked over leisurely, looming over him as he looked down.
“I intended to exterminate your entire Yuan Family, but now, it seems you are the instigator of it all!”
Having said that, Xue An flicked his finger, Yuan Chengyu let out a miserable cry, and his arms and legs were chopped off cleanly.
But at that moment, Yuan Chengyu was not yet dead, instead lying in a pool of blood, writhing in agony.
Everyone trembled at the sight of this gruesome scene.
Yuan Chengyu, showing some guts, bit his teeth and did not wail too loudly.
Xue An squatted down, looking at him indifferently, “You should thank your good daughter! Otherwise, I would have used the Soul Flame Fire to roast you for a long while before killing you!”
Yuan Chengyu looked at Xue An with hatred, roaring in anger, “Why do you keep going after my Yuan Family again and again?”
Xue An chuckled lightly, “Going after your Yuan Family? On the day of the Immortal Gate conference, your son launched a sneak attack on me and got killed by me. This time, you sent assassins who nearly harmed my family! And now you have the audacity to ask why I’m going after your Yuan Family?”
These words turned Yuan Chengyu’s face deathly pale, his expression also became deflated.
It turned out, he knew everything.
Xue An didn’t bother to waste more words on this man, with a wave of his hand, the fire directly engulfed Yuan Chengyu.
In an instant, he was burned to nothing.
Afterwards, Xue An stood up and glanced around at all the people present.
No one dared meet Xue An’s gaze.
Some were so frightened their calves trembled.
Xue An extended his hand with an indifferent expression, and suddenly, flames rose beneath the feet of twenty or thirty people. Before these people could scream, they were directly turned to ash.
With this move, over half of the Yuan Family’s legitimate branch were gone, and as for the Yuan Family elders, they were completely wiped out.
Xue An stated indifferently, “I originally intended to exterminate your entire Yuan Family, but now, it seems some of you were kept in the dark, so consider this sparing you once!”
After speaking, Xue An stomped his foot, and his figure shot straight up into the sky, disappearing from view.
After his departure, the remaining members of the Yuan Family felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders.
But just as they took a deep breath of relief, the ground where Xue An had stomped collapsed with a bang, forming a crater at least a dozen meters in diameter.
Many people had a vacant look in their eyes, unsure of what they were thinking.
By now, Xue An had single-handedly wiped out all the high-level members of the Yuan Family, leaving the Yuan Family of Jibei severely weakened, ultimately relegating them to a second-rate noble family.
Xue An flew straight back to Xiangjiang.
When An Yan saw him return, she couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
“An Qing has already left ahead of time, she said she was in a hurry to get back,” An Yan said.
Xue An nodded, then turned to look at Song Yi.
“Song Yi, now that the Ming Family is gone, Xiangjiang is like a dragon without a head. I’m entrusting this place to you, do you dare to take over?”
Song Yi shuddered, then looked at Xue An with disbelief.
“Mr. Xue, are you… are you saying you want me to take charge of Xiangjiang?”
Xue An nodded, “Do you dare or not?”
Song Yi pondered for a moment, then said with a resolute face, “Since Mr. Xue has commanded, even if I have to go through fire and water, I will not refuse!”
Xue An nodded in satisfaction.
He believed in Song Yi’s methods.
How could someone who thrived in a place like Zhongdu be an ordinary man?
“Mr. Xue, will you take your wife back to Zhongdu?”
Xue An nodded.
“Then I’d like to remind you, sir. Although your cultivation level is divine, Zhongdu is unlike any other place. It’s teeming with both good and bad, and noble families are as common as the hairs on an ox. Just like that time on Mount Qingmang, the Huo Heming that you killed, although he was just a concubine son in the Huo Family, if you go there…”
Song Yi was genuinely worried.
He knew Xue An’s temperament and feared that Xue An might suffer a setback in Zhongdu.
Xue An waved his hand and said with a light chuckle, “I understand, and I’m not going to Zhongdu to wreak havoc. But I will not offend unless I’m offended! I hope those noble families will have some sense!”
At the end of his statement, a cold light flashed in Xue An’s eyes.
Song Yi closed his mouth, not daring to say any more.
Xue An stayed in the hotel that evening.
Meanwhile.
All of Xiangjiang was shaken.
The Ming Family had been entrenched in Xiangjiang for generations, virtually the overlord of the land.
But unexpectedly, in one day, they were eradicated.
Even the Ming Family’s mansion was leveled to the ground.
With such methods, how could the other powers in Xiangjiang not be alarmed?
And there was credible news that the person who destroyed the Ming Family had not yet left and was staying in the hotel belonging to the Ming Family.
This news drew the attention of the entire harbor.
But Xue An didn’t care about this.
After all, Xiangjiang was still too small for him.
He didn’t like it here.
Song Yi took this opportunity to send an ultimatum to all parties.
It clearly stated that from now on, Xiangjiang would be Xue Family territory.
He, Song Yi, would be the sole representative of the Xue Family.
Anyone who disagreed could speak up now.
After receiving the ultimatum, many noble families chose wisely after a brief silence.
One after another, they sent gifts to Song Yi, signaling their willingness to submit.
Without shedding a drop of blood, Song Yi brought the entirety of Xiangjiang under his influence.
However, this was just the beginning.
The many forces were only startled by Xue An’s decisive and lethal approach and had acquiesced out of fear, at least for the moment.
The road ahead still required Song Yi to walk on his own.
Xue An didn’t care about these things, because the next day, he, along with An Yan and their daughter, boarded the plane heading for Zhongdu.
This time, he would reign supreme over Zhongdu!
