Golden Leopard originally didn’t care.
Because in his eyes, Xue An’s aura was flat, just an ordinary person who knew some boxing!
But unexpectedly, when Xue An threw a punch, his momentum suddenly surged.
Golden Leopard’s face changed dramatically, but still, he roared, “Watch my ‘Mountain-Crushing Fist’!”
Having said that, he too struck out with a punch.
The two fists collided.
Bang!
A muffled sound.
Those close by felt their ears buzzing.
Golden Leopard remained rigid on the spot, and only after a moment did he exhale deeply.
“Good fist technique!”
As he spoke, he began to turn into ash from the fist, and finally, like broken pieces of porcelain, he disappeared without a trace.
Everyone was dumbstruck.
Who could have imagined that under Xue An’s single punch, Golden Leopard would be directly blasted into nothingness.
The priests who were originally composed all stood up suddenly, looking at Xue An with shock on their faces.
Jin Xiurong also frowned slightly.
Only Chi Changge, with an iron-blue complexion, looked at Xue An, his fists creaking with rage.
Xue An pulled back his fist, looked around at everyone, and said indifferently, “An Yan is my woman. From today onwards, she will leave the An Family and will no longer be governed by this so-called noble family. I’ve said my piece, who agrees? Who opposes?”
No one dared to speak.
Leave the An Family?
This has never happened before.
At this moment An Xue couldn’t restrain himself any longer, and was the first to jump out and say, “Leave the An Family? Heh, her blood is of the An Family, and you say to leave just like that?”
Xue An smiled coldly, “That means you oppose it then!”
“Of course I disagree!”
“Fine then, you can go die!”
Before An Xue could react, a nearby elder’s face changed dramatically, and he instantly moved in front of An Xue, simultaneously roaring.
“Shield!”
A faint halo appeared in front of him, covering An Xue behind him.
At this moment, Xue An flicked his finger.
Crack!
The halo barely resisted for less than half a second before it exploded violently.
It then flew the elder out directly, until he slammed into a wall, barely halting.
With an open mouth, the elder spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Xue An looked at the elder with a pale complexion and smiled faintly, “Not bad, you actually took one from me!”
The elder gave a bitter laugh.
He had just used a Divine Talisman, a true transmission from Mount Wudang!
He thought he could withstand a hit from Xue An, but unexpectedly, it shattered in just one second.
“The aura of True Martial, huh?” Xue An said softly, then smiled slightly, “For the sake of your elder, I won’t kill you!”
At this point, An Xue finally realized what had just happened. If it weren’t for Master Zhang from Mount Wudang coming to his rescue, he probably would have been dismembered by now.
An Xue trembled all over, “You… you actually dare to kill… me?”
Xue An smiled faintly, “Why wouldn’t I dare? Your lives are no more than weeds to me!”
This statement provoked anger.
Many people looked at Xue An with hostility in their eyes.
After all, they all considered themselves part of the same stratum.
And with Xue An killing a man as soon as he made a move, it naturally filled everyone with a sense of crisis.
At this time, Old Lady Jin Xiurong’s face also changed slightly, but she didn’t speak to Xue An; instead, she turned to look at An Yan.
“An Yan, you’ve grown up by my side since you were a child. Do you really want to break with the An Family for the sake of such a man?”
An Yan had been silent all this time, but now her expression gradually calmed, and her eyes hardened, free from panic.
She slowly walked to Xue An’s side and firmly shook her head at Jin Xiurong, “Grandma, this might be the last time I call you grandma. Indeed, I grew up here since I was young, and you have the grace of bringing me up!”
“But from childhood to adulthood, I never received even a smile from you. After my father’s death, aside from An Qing, who ever cared for me? In your eyes, I am nothing but a tool, a means to ally with other noble families through marriage! Am I right?”
These series of questions threw Jin Xiurong’s face into change.
She never expected An Yan to dare contradict her to her face.
The old woman’s face grew dark as she gazed coldly at An Yan.
“Very good! You are very good!”
An Yan ignored Jin Xiurong’s angry glare and turned to smile softly at Xue An, who looked at her with tender indulgence.
“You all looked down on him before, calling him a poor scholar without a future! But I am not afraid; as long as I can be with him, I am willing even to beg!”
“But you only thought about tearing us apart, and even had me, who had just given birth to a child, captured and brought back! These actions, you have done, do they really shine with glory?”
This speech caused an uproar among the audience.
Many women were stealing glances at An Yan, because she had expressed what many of them felt in their hearts.
Chi Weiyang stared blankly at the determined An Yan and suddenly felt some envy.
Because this woman had found her lifelong haven.
“What should be repaid has been repaid; I owe nothing to you all! From now on, I and the An Family are cut off from grace and justice!” said An Yan, her face pale, but her voice ringing with unwavering determination.
“You whore, betraying your own family for an outsider!” Jin Xiurong finally erupted, her face contorting in rage.
Xue Xiang and Xue Nian down below, now feeling a bit indignant, spoke up, “Old hag, what right do you have to bully my mom?”
The children’s voices made Jin Xiurong boil with even more anger.
“None of you will leave today! An Yan, I’ll give you one last chance! You…”
At that moment, An Yan laughed as if a great burden had been lifted, “No need! I do not need it!”
At this time, Xue An tenderly caressed An Yan’s cheek and said quietly, “Wife, there’s actually one more thing you forgot to say.”
“What is it?”
“In four years, when I return to Zhongdu, I shall make everyone kneel in submission!”
His tone was serene yet filled with powerful confidence.
An Yan nodded happily, her face full of bliss, “I believe, as long as it’s you who says it, I’ll believe!”
Jin Xiurong was nearly hysterical, “Kill him! Kill him for me!”
No one dared to move.
The prowess Xue An had demonstrated just moments before had shocked everyone into stillness.
“Kill him?” Xue An asked lightly.
An Yan shook her head, “After all, she raised me. Let’s just leave it!”
And just then, a cool female voice came from outside the door.
“Sister, since you are leaving, then I am too!”
With that, An Qing walked into the hall with her head held high.
Her arrival caused yet another stir in the crowd.
Jin Xiurong could scarcely believe her own ears.
“An Qing, what did you say?”
An Qing smiled disdainfully then, “Old witch, I don’t have the patience of my sister. Do you think I’d want to stay with the An Family if not for her? I’ve been wanting to leave for a long time!”
This declaration, full of dominance, made many onlookers’ eyes nearly pop out.
Many secretly felt fortunate to have attended this birthday feast!
It was extraordinarily lively indeed!
