Chapter 248: Chapter 248: In the Snap of a Finger, Vanishing into Smoke (Third Update)
Jiang Nubing and Wen Banmei knelt on the ground, struggled a few times, and realizing their kneecaps were shattered, they simply couldn’t move; a flash of humiliation crossed their faces.
Then, the two of them stealthily exchanged glances and lowered their heads.
“Xue An, we admit we underestimated you,” Jiang Nubing took a deep breath and said in a heavy voice, “your cultivation level is indeed respectable enough for us to honor. Let’s just let bygones be bygones, how about that?”
“Oh? Just let bygones be bygones?” Xue An said indifferently.
“That’s right, we won’t insist on the Heaven’s Fate Elixir anymore! As long as you spare us, we’ll act as though this never happened!” Jiang Nubing said.
“That does sound nice but…” a cold smile appeared at the corner of Xue An’s mouth.
“You seem to have misunderstood something. From the beginning, I never intended to let you go!”
Shock and anger appeared on the faces of Wen Banmei and Jiang Nubing.
Wen Banmei sneered coldly, “Xue An, don’t think your cultivation is so incredible. I’m telling you, in Kunlun, your level simply isn’t worth mentioning.”
Xue An looked at Wen Banmei impassively, until at last, he cracked a faint smile.
“Are you done? If you’re done… then go to hell!”
With a wave of Xue An’s hand, Wen Banmei felt a scorching heat at her feet, she looked down to see white flames burning rapidly.
“Aaaah… Xue An, release me quickly, or my sect will surely tear you to pieces!” Wen Banmei screamed.
But nothing could stop the fast spreading flames.
Moments later, Wen Banmei was completely engulfed by the flames.
Her originally lovely face withered and cracked swiftly in the fire.
Wen Banmei struggled in agony, then turned to ash, vanishing without a trace.
Jiang Nubing looked on, his guts freezing with horror, he had never imagined Xue An could be so ruthlessly decisive.
Xue An turned his gaze to Jiang Nubing, “Before you die… is there something you want to say?”
A chill rose from the depths of Jiang Nubing’s heart, but he still clenched his teeth and said, “We are disciples of Kunlun. Killing us will bring you an immense amount of trouble!”
Xue An laughed, “Trouble? The thing I fear the least is trouble!”
As he said this, endless flames once again engulfed Jiang Nubing, and moments later, he too was burned to ash, his soul obliterated.
As the two perished before her eyes,
Liu Ruyan couldn’t help but stand frozen.
Only when Xue An looked towards her did she jolt, her voice trembling, “Don’t kill me, I am from the Liu Family!”
“The Liu Family?” Xue An shook his head, “No, it’ll soon cease to exist!”
With those words,
a sword light flashed, directly piercing Liu Ruyan’s forehead, and her corpse fell to the ground.
Zhao Xuehui and others like Shu Liu were all dumbfounded as they watched Xue An.
Especially Shu Liu and Gao Shengnan, they were utterly petrified at this point.
Since Xue An had returned, he had been like a Divine Slaughter, dealing ruthless, unmatched blows, slaughtering several people! And all the while, his demeanor was nonchalant, as if he was butchering chickens and slaughtering dogs.
This kind of momentum made several women go pale.
Xue An then came over to An Yan and smiled slightly.
“Wife, sorry for coming back a bit late!”
An Yan brushed her hair by her ear and smiled radiantly, “As long as you’re back!”
Xue Xiang and Xue Nian said gleefully, “Daddy, daddy, mom was really fierce just now, she made all those bad guys so scared!”
Xue An chuckled, squatting down and tousling the girls’ hair, “You two are also amazing! You even knew to protect mom!”
Xue An had arrived just in time to see the scene of the two little girls shielding An Yan.
It was that scene that triggered Xue An’s rampage.
“We’re not afraid, daddy said if someone bullies us, we have to fight back fiercely!” Xue Xiang said, her small fists clenched and her expression resolute.
Xue An laughed, a very contented laugh.
He didn’t want his children to be flowers in a greenhouse because the road to immortal cultivation ahead was filled with countless hardships and dangers.
He had to make his daughters understand that if someone bullied them, they must retaliate tenfold!
An Yan was somewhat worried at the moment and said, “About An Qing…”
Xue An stood up and nodded, “I know, I am heading there now!”
As they were speaking, dozens of streaks of light flew in from the horizon and then directly rushed into the meeting room.
Only when they stopped did people realize that they were all fierce-looking soldiers.
“Instructor!” Cheng Hao and the others called out in unison.
When Xue An rushed back, he was so anxious that he had left these members of the Fire Phoenix behind.
So it was only now that they had caught up.
Xue An nodded his head and then said coldly, “Follow me back to the military camp!”
After speaking, Xue An said to An Yan, “Wait here for my return!”
With that, Xue An shot straight up into the sky.
After knowing that An Yan was the instructor’s wife, Cheng Hao and the others all nodded to her respectfully and then followed closely behind Xue An.
After they left,
Zhao Xuehui, Qiao Le and the others looked at each other and sighed softly.
“Second Brother is getting more and more formidable!” Qiao Le exclaimed.
Shu Liu and others had complex expressions as they watched Xue An’s departing figure.
This man always brought surprises at critical moments.
At this moment,
Inside the military camp,
An Qing was silently wiping the floor with her head down.
A few women passed by the corridor, only whispering to each other after they had gone past.
“Hey, has An Qing fallen to the point of wiping floors now?”
“Hehe, she indirectly caused the death of the Fire Phoenix, so not being punished is already good. What’s cleaning a floor considered?”
“I heard there’s a feud between the new instructor Liu and her!”
These discussions reached An Qing’s ears, but she did not look up and only her face turned a bit pale.
“Hey, this floor cleaning is not good enough, there are footprints everywhere, clean it again!” a fat woman with triangular eyes admonished as she walked over with an arrogant air.
An Qing looked up at her blankly.
“Didn’t you hear me? Clean all the floors on this level again, and you have to do it by hand!” the fat woman said with evident pleasure.
As for military rank, she was much lower than An Qing, who she used to salute in the past.
But now that An Qing had fallen on hard times and become a laughingstock in the military,
it would be a shame not to step on her at this opportunity!
“What are you looking at? This was ordered by Instructor Liu!” the fat woman scolded, hands on her hips.
An Qing’s expression changed, but after a moment, she still bowed her head and responded with a “Hmm!”
“Hmph!” The fat woman was about to leave when
a voice came from the end of the corridor.
“I think that even using your hands won’t make it clean!”
The fat woman was taken aback and didn’t turn around, only sneered, “Then how should it be cleaned?”
“If you lick it bit by bit with your tongue, I think that would be considered clean!”
The voice was as placid as water, without a ripple.
The fat woman chuckled, “That’s a good idea, An Qing, did you hear? Someone suggested you use your tongue to lick the floor, how do you feel about that?”
An Qing kept her head down, not speaking.
At this moment, Xue An slowly walked over from the end of the corridor, with the sunlight shining through the windows casting a light on his face that made his expression fluctuate unpredictably.
“What I said was not about her, but you!”
