Fujita Miki stood there, her expression frozen.
Harukyo Ryosuke could no longer restrain himself and advanced, ready to take action himself.
It was at this moment that Xue An said indifferently, “I said they could trade a life for a life, but not you!”
No sooner had he spoken than a streak of sword light shot straight towards Harukyo Ryosuke.
Harukyo Ryosuke turned pale with fright, and grabbed Fujita Miki, intending to use her to block the incoming sword light.
But just then, a line of blood appeared on his throat, gradually widening into a gash from which a fountain of blood finally burst forth.
He made grasping, unwilling sounds from his throat before collapsing to the ground, full of resentment.
All the ninjas sent from Country R to deal with Xue An were annihilated!
Fujita Miki suddenly felt very cold, the kind that seeped into her bones.
Xue An looked at her and said, “I won’t kill you because your life was exchanged by someone else, but I hope you understand that my patience is very limited! Got it?”
Fujita Miki nodded, trembling.
Xue An looked at stormy Tokyo and murmured, “Since I’ve shown restraint once and you still refuse to give up, then… this time I’ll teach you a lesson you’ll never forget!”
The sword light transformed into a giant dragon that slithered at Xue An’s feet. Xue An stepped onto it and headed straight for Tokyo’s tallest structure, the so-called World Tree, Tokyo Tower.
The passing sword light alarmed countless masters hidden throughout Tokyo.
Many who were meditating suddenly opened their eyes, looking towards the sky in utter shock.
“Such tremendous sword momentum!”
“Who is this person?”
Following the trail of Xue An’s sword light, countless figures shot into the sky, trailing behind.
A faint smile played on the corners of Xue An’s mouth.
What he intended to do was to show these people what true power was.
The sword light came to a stop.
Ahead stood the majestic Tokyo Tower.
Xue An stood in the air, silent.
Someone called out loudly, “Senior, why release such earth-shattering Sword Qi?”
In that moment, a flash of lightning revealed Xue An’s face.
Some cried out in surprise.
“Xue An! It’s Xue An!”
Others, unaware of who Xue An was, had someone gravely inform them.
“This person is a formidable being from Huaxia. It is said that he is responsible for the recent Sensoji Temple incident!”
Hiss.
Upon hearing this, many took in a sharp breath of cold air.
Countless masters from Country R had died or were injured in the incident at Sensoji Temple.
Could it really be the work of this man?
It was at this time that Xue An said calmly, “I came to Country R in search of something. Now that I have found it, some people still dared to trouble me. Therefore, I am about to show you the consequences of angering me!”
As he spoke, the sword light dragon suddenly burst forth, coiling around the towering Tokyo Tower, and then contracting fiercely.
Boom.
This steel-crafted high-rise, the landmark of Tokyo, was, under this single strike, broken into three parts, then slowly toppled over and crashed to the ground.
Bang!
A thunderous noise that was deafening to the ears.
The entire city of Tokyo was awoken by this loud sound.
And the masters who had rushed over were even more pale with shock, their faces turning white, some with shallow cultivation levels were directly shaken to the ground.
Xue An stood in the air, his voice indifferent, “Now, is there anyone who objects?”
No one dared to speak.
The only sounds that filled this space were the relentless rain.
Xue An nodded, “Good, this is the lesson I’ve given you. Dare to provoke me again, and this will be the outcome!”
Having said that, Xue An rode on his sword and left.
It was only after he had flown far away
that these individuals finally let out a long sigh of relief.
“What level of cultivation does this person have?” someone wondered aloud in astonishment.
“No matter the cultivation level, with his Sword Dao alone, he’s already like an immortal. In our Country R, no one can be an opponent to him!” someone said with a bitter smile.
Most of them, however, remained silent.
In the face of such an absolute power disparity,
all these proud R country samurai lowered their heads.
When Xue An returned to the restaurant,
everyone in the restaurant looked at him with pale faces.
Especially those who were timid, they looked at Xue An as if he were a ghost or a god.
“Honey, what happened just now? Why was there such a loud noise?” An Yan asked.
Xue An smiled, “It’s nothing, I was just feeling uncomfortable, so I dismantled the Tokyo Tower!”
“What?” Benqiao Meijia and Kawada Keiko’s eyes widened in unison.
Tokyo Tower!
That was a tower forged of steel, and he dismantled it alone?
Even Edward’s face was filled with shock.
Xue An just smiled, “Let’s go, it’s time to go home! I reckon we’ll be able to return to our country tomorrow!”
“Really?” An Yan was very happy!
Xue An nodded.
He then turned to Benqiao Meijia and the others with a slight smile, “Goodbye!”
Saying this, he led his wife and children, and the whole family left.
Benqiao Meijia stared blankly at Xue An’s back, and suddenly understood.
All her dreams and wishes had been nothing but foolish fantasies.
From Sensoji Temple until today, this strong and mysterious man had given Benqiao Meijia an incredible shock.
But it also made her realize just how desperate the gap between herself and Xue An was.
“Miss Benqiao, let me take you home!” Edward said with a forced smile.
Benqiao Meijia glanced at him, didn’t say a word, and left on her own with her best friend Kawada Keiko.
This night was destined to be sleepless for many.
When the first rays of the morning sun came into the room,
Tokyo’s prominent figures had already gathered below the villa where Xue An was staying.
When Xue An came downstairs, everyone stood up.
“Mr. Xue!”
Xue An smiled slightly, “What’s the matter? Is there something you need?”
Although Xue An was smiling, to those people, his smile was incredibly terrifying.
Because of what had happened the previous night, it had uncontrollably spread.
Everyone knew that the Tokyo Tower had fallen.
What the ordinary people didn’t know was that the cause of it all was this seemingly gentle man.
The envoy sent by the government of Country R was pale, wiping his cold sweat, smiling obsequiously, “Mr. Xue, we have come to express our apologies. There might have been some misunderstandings between us recently, and we deeply regret that, hoping…”
Xue An waved his hand, “There’s no need to be so afraid. I did what I did last night because some of you repeatedly crossed my bottom line. Now that my business is concluded, I will soon leave Country R!”
Xue An’s words made everyone present secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
This Divine Slaughter was leaving, which was just too good!
The envoy was even more overjoyed, “Mr. Xue, if that’s the case, then we shall arrange a special plane to send you back!”
“No need, I’ll leave when I wish to do so. Why, are you that eager to see me go?”
Xue An’s words made the envoy break out in a cold sweat again.
Xue An leaned back on the sofa, speaking lightly, “Also, Takeuchi Kiyoko is under my protection. You all know what to do, right?”
“Yes!” Everyone bowed deeply.
These individuals might be influential, even regarded as noble and high-born in other circumstances.
But at this moment, they could only bow their heads to Xue An.
Because in front of this man, they had all realized something.
All worldly possessions were useless against him.
What he controlled was the most daunting power of all.
And that was the power over life and death!
