Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Heaven and Earth Upside Down, All Beings Toppled (First Update)
Translator: 549690339
Boom.
The world spun upside down; all living things tumbled.
It seemed even the moonlight trembled beneath that punch.
The Snow Wolf King, who had relied on his Bloodline of the Wolf God, cried out in alarm, “Disperse…”
Before the word “Immortal” could leave its mouth,
The punch had already landed squarely on its forehead.
There was no earth-shattering noise, nor any blood.
The Snow Wolf King melted away like ice under the sun, dissolving into nothingness.
The guards and followers behind it howled in shock and rage.
But after the punch dissipated the Snow Wolf King, its true power began to show—an invisible shockwave spread out violently, sweeping over the remaining giant wolves.
These wolves, as if struck by a Paralysis Spell, all froze in place.
A gust of wind blew by, and they all turned to dust.
One punch.
All the giant wolves were annihilated.
Silence fell upon the scene.
Wu Qing and all the villagers watched, dumbfounded.
Xue An landed on the ground with a faint smile, “Where is this Snow Wolf King’s city?”
Wu Qing shuddered, then woke from his shock.
“A hundred miles away, it’s called Snow Wolf City. Sir, what do you plan to do?”
Xue An’s expression remained indifferent, “Since these beasts so readily slaughter villages and kill our people, I shall let them also taste being slaughtered.”
“But there are so many giant wolves in the city, and you alone…” Wu Qing’s face was still full of worry.
At that moment, several young men stepped forward from behind him.
“Elder, Mr. Xue is like an Immortal. What can those beasts do against him, no matter their number? After being oppressed for so many years, it’s time these beasts got their comeuppance!”
“Yes! Elder, hesitate no longer!”
The villagers below started to clamor.
Elder Wu sighed deeply, bowed to Xue An, “Sir, how can I not hate those werewolves? The problem is this Snow Wolf King was merely a low-grade one. Above it, there are High-Grade Wolf Kings, Wolf Saints, even Wolf Gods!”
Hearing Elder Wu’s words, the voices of the villagers gradually subsided.
Indeed!
The Snow Wolf King was just a recently matured low-grade one; there were many more powerful beings among the wolves.
Xue An looked at the worried faces of the villagers, his voice growing colder.
“Let me ask you, all these years of being oppressed, has it been bearable?”
The crowd fell silent, and faces colored with humiliation appeared all around.
“These beasts rule over you, exterminating villages on a whim, treating you all as less than worms and dogs. Is that bearable?” Xue An continued.
Someone started to weep softly.
Xue An shook his head, “I am well aware that it is unbearable! If there’s no path forward, why not rise and resist?”
“The reason I acted to save you just now was not because you are our people, but because I saw your willingness to fight even against certain doom!”
“Man is man because he is the spirit of all creatures, because he won’t submit to the intimidation of these beasts! Do you understand now?”
The gaze of the people began to clear, and many faces were lit with resolve.
“Elder Wu, you once said you’d rather die in battle than kneel to be killed by these beasts. We’re fed up after all these years. Let’s follow Mr. Xue and kill those bastards!” Some young men, unable to contain their fervor, shouted loudly.
“Yes! Kill those bastards!”
The crowd started to boil over.
At this moment, Elder Wu’s face was streaked with tears, reminded by Xue An’s words of his own slaughtered family.
All these years, that hatred had lodged in his heart, believing he would never have a chance for revenge in his lifetime.
Xue An’s arrival gave him hope.
Wu Qing took a deep breath, bowed deeply to Xue An, and paid him a profound respect.
“What Mr. Xue said expresses exactly what we feel! There are no cowards among the Hua people. We will accompany you, and even if we die in battle, we shall make those beasts understand that humans cannot be defeated!”
Boom!
The crowd shouted in unison, “We wish to accompany Mr. Xue!”
Seeing these agitated villagers, Xue An nodded slightly, feeling somewhat comforted in his heart.
He alone was enough to destroy a city, but what good was that?
If a race became accustomed to bending the knee, they would never stand tall again, even if all their enemies were slain.
What Xue An wanted was to see these Hua people truly stand up for themselves.
And debts of blood can only be paid in blood.
That night, Xue An made no move because Wu Qing had sent many people to contact all the nearby Hua villages, preparing to accompany Xue An to their destination.
When morning arrived.
The open ground in front of the village was filled with Hua people.
All of them were dressed in tattered clothes, their faces yellow and their bodies thin, clearly having lived difficult lives.
When Xue An appeared atop the city wall, there was a stir in the crowd.
“Is that the Immortal spoken of by Wu Qing?”
“He looks so young!”
“It is said that he has destroyed the Snow Wolf King and many other giant wolves with a single punch!”
And there were many faces filled with skepticism.
For example, an elder standing beside Wu Qing frowned.
“Elder Wu, this Mr. Xue is so young. Even if his cultivation level is decent, but going to attack Snow Wolf City…” the elder’s implication was clear.
Even if Xue An was extraordinary, the enemy was a city full of werewolves, after all.
Wu Qing’s expression was resolute, “Chief Nie, rest assured, I have absolute confidence in Mr. Xue!”
Chief Nie’s mouth twitched slightly before he sighed softly and fell silent.
Xue An silently observed the crowd below.
Gradually, the crowd quieted down.
Xue An spoke in a deep voice, “You are all Hua people. I need not speak of the humiliation and oppression you have experienced over the years. This time, I will slaughter those beasts and avenge you all!”
Boom.
The crowd erupted into intense commotion.
Many faces revealed expressions of disbelief.
With a casual wave of his hand, Xue An split a nearby hillock in two with a ray of sword light.
The might of that single sword stroke silenced all doubt.
Chief Nie, too, was trembling, tears gradually filling his face.
He remembered a legend told by the elders when he was young.
The people of the Hua Nation once had a Sword Immortal, whose single stroke could move mountains and overturn seas.
At that time, he had wished for such a Sword Immortal to come and kill all those haughty werewolves. How wonderful would that be?
But that was merely a fantasy, and so many years had passed. He had become desperate when Xue An appeared.
Suddenly, he gritted his teeth, resolved that even if it meant sacrificing his old bones, he would follow the Sword Immortal and exterminate all those beasts.
At that moment, Xue An pointed ahead and said indifferently, “Let’s go! We shall wipe out Snow Wolf City!”
The crowd began to move.
The physical constitution of the natives living in this secret realm was very robust; they sprinted with a speed not slower than galloping horses.
Xue An advanced in the air, looking down at these Hua people with faces full of hatred, and he smiled faintly.
No matter which secret realm, no matter the era, the Hua race would always be the one that never gives up and never bows down.
You can kill me, but you cannot make me kneal!
That is the backbone of the Hua people.
