When the first word of this sentence was uttered, Japanese sounded very awkward, but as the sentence progressed, it became increasingly fluent; by the last word, there was virtually no difference between him and the people of Country R.
Takeuchi Kiyoko was shocked by this discovery.
Could it be that if one’s Cultivation Level reached the level of communing with the divine, learning Japanese could be this fast?
At this moment, the whole place was quiet.
Many people furrowed their brows slightly.
Who is this guy?
He seems to be a Huaxia person!
Takeuchi Youichi frowned and stepped forward to scold Takeuchi Kiyoko first.
“What’s wrong with you? Today is a grand gathering of the family, why are you bringing a stranger here?”
As he spoke, Takeuchi Youichi raised his hand to strike.
It had already become a habit.
Over the years, Takeuchi Kiyoko and her mother had been like punching bags in the family.
As a man from the Legitimate Branch, Takeuchi Youichi had a lofty status and had beaten her not just once or twice.
But today, as he lifted his hand, preparing to strike, he felt a tremendous force assault him, sending him flying dozens of meters away, crashing through several tables before he finally fell to the ground, unconscious.
This move was as shocking as a thunderbolt from the blue, leaving the entire crowd in astonishment.
Xue An, who had made his move, shook his head, “Too weak to withstand a single blow, I merely flicked a finger and he flew away!”
Many people shouted angrily and wanted to rush forward.
Takeuchi Masao stopped them and then coldly looked at Xue An.
“A Huaxia martial artist?” Takeuchi Masao said coldly.
Xue An smiled, “Oh, you know of Huaxia martial artists?”
Takeuchi Masao sneered, “Not only do I know of them, but I’ve also personally killed them! Now tell me, what are you here for?”
Xue An spoke methodically, “I don’t want to do much—just feel that you all have been too unfair to Takeuchi Kiyoko, so I thought I’d let her have a shot at being the Family Head!”
Takeuchi Masao was furious and turned to Takeuchi Kiyoko, “Kiyoko, what the hell do you think you’re doing?”
Kiyoko was a bit nervous at first, but now relaxed and chuckled lightly, “What am I doing? As the sir said, becoming the head of the Takeuchi family, of course!”
“You’re courting death!” bellowed Takeuchi Masao, then he turned to the three Divine Officers, “This man is an insolent fool, please take action to punish him!”
The three Divine Officers had also been wanting to inquire in detail about the situation.
Why had the aura of the Orochi Demon God suddenly vanished from Takeuchi Kiyoko?
Xue An said he had killed it, but the three Divine Officers didn’t believe him at all.
The three approached in a triangular formation.
Tsuruoka Masaki raised his eyebrows and said coldly, “Your martial prowess is remarkable, but haven’t you heard that no matter how strong a martial artist is, they still fear Sorcery Cultivators?”
Xue An shook his head, “I haven’t heard of that, but you can give it a try! See if I’m scared?”
Xue An’s nonchalant attitude infuriated the three of them.
The three shouted in anger, then a mass of demon energy radiated outward.
Everyone in the hall respectfully moved aside.
Takeuchi Genji sneered, “It seems my sister really is too naive, bringing back a Huaxia martial artist. Humph, the result is still the same, isn’t it?”
Inoue Yuu, with his arm around Takeuchi Genji’s shoulder, smiled slightly, “I always knew she was foolish, which is why I proposed to you!”
These words turned Takeuchi Kiyoko’s face pale.
This Inoue Yuu had once pursued her fervently, but as soon as she ran into trouble, he couldn’t wait to hook up with Takeuchi Genji, an indignity Kiyoko found unbearable.
But she was also worried.
After all, Xue An’s martial prowess was formidable, but those three were Divine Officers who practiced sorcery.
“Spiritual beings, appear!”
As the three called out in unison.
Three shadow-like entities appeared in the hall.
Many people exclaimed in amazement.
“They can actually summon spiritual beings! The three Divine Officers of the Orochi Shrine are truly formidable!” Inoue Yuu’s eyes filled with excitement.
“Go!” The three directed their summoned beings at Xue An, and they all charged at him simultaneously.
Summoning spiritual beings is a type of sorcery unique to Country R. Simply put, it is the practice of cultivating the spirits and souls of samurai or other entities after death.
Its power is indeed formidable.
Especially since Tsuruoka Masaki and the other two served the Orochi Demon God, their summoned beings were also imbued with a demonic prowess.
But as soon as the three Shikigami charged towards Xue An,
a flash of light sparkled in Xue An’s eyes, and he bellowed, “Scram!”
The three Shikigami emitted a piercing wail and instantly vanished into smoke and clouds!
This not only stunned the three Divine Officers.
Everyone else was also dumbfounded.
What kind of move was that?
To dispel Shikigami with a single word?
At this moment, Xue An smiled faintly, “Is that all you’ve got?!”
Turning to the two daughters in his arms, he said, “Close your eyes and curl up in Daddy’s embrace!”
Xue Xiang and her sister obediently curled up in Xue An’s arms.
Then, revealing a row of pearly white teeth, Xue An grinned menacingly, “Now it’s my turn.”
With that said, Xue An suddenly appeared in the middle of the three of them and waved his hand casually.
Pff!
Tsuruoka Masaki didn’t even have the chance to scream before he turned into a cloud of blood mist.
Furuya Kazuma, scared out of his wits, turned and tried to flee.
Xue An breathed out a blade of Qi, slicing horizontally and beheading Furuya Kazuma.
Only Nakata Yuuichi was left.
At this moment, Nakata Yuuichi was quivering like chaff.
He finally believed what Xue An had said earlier; it was very likely that it was this man who had killed the Demon God!
So when Xue An’s gaze fell upon him,
Nakata Yuuichi’s legs gave in, and he knelt on the ground with a thud.
“Please, spare me, my lord!”
Xue An no longer paid attention to him and instead looked towards the pale-faced Takeuchi Youichi and the others.
“Do you… have anything else to say?” Xue An asked indifferently.
Grinding his teeth, Takeuchi Youichi declared, “Shoot him! I refuse to believe he can dodge bullets too!”
Public safety in Country R was fairly good; even a nefarious Daoist family like theirs only had a few guns at home.
But as the gunmen emerged with their firearms, the atmosphere changed.
Takeuchi Youichi sneered, “I admit you’re a Martial Artist, but so what? This isn’t the age when Samurai roamed supreme. No matter how formidable, can you be faster than a bullet?”
Xue An responded coolly, “Then you can try! See if I’m scared or not!”
“Kill him!” Takeuchi Youichi gave the order.
As a big shot who had been dominating the underworld for decades, he had the decisiveness.
Even though using guns would alert many people, at this point, he didn’t care about that!
Bang, bang, bang.
Submachine guns and pistols belched out flames.
And under such fire,
Xue An just laughed.
“Turns out that’s all there is!”
As his voice faded, a scene straight out of a sci-fi movie occurred.
The bullets that were shot towards him began to slow down as if entering a pool of glue, gradually becoming slower until they halted mid-air.
Then, with another command from Xue An, “Go!”
The bullets whizzed back at ten times their initial speed, retracing their trajectory!
Put, put, put!
A dozen gunmen fell to the ground; such was the force of the bullets that they only stopped after piercing through the wall behind.
This move finally instilled fear in Takeuchi Youichi.
Meanwhile, Xue An slowly walked over.
With every step he took, the others receded one step back!
Eventually, they had no room left to retreat.
Only then did Xue An stop and said indifferently, “Now, do you agree to let her be the Family Head?”
