Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Today… You Must All Die! (First Update)
With those words, Fan Mengxue’s aura soared abruptly, and her eyes turned into a demonic dark red.
A voluptuous Mandala Flower gradually appeared on her slender neck and cheeks.
Xue An watched quietly, a hint of anger concealed in his eyes.
Griffin bowed slightly, his manner dignified and graceful, as he said, “Respected Empress, welcome back!”
The Night Devil Empress’s face bore an extremely cold smile, speaking to Xue An from above.
“Xue An, you killed my Night Demon Valley disciples! Today, I will settle this account with you!”
Xue An looked up at Fan Mengxue, who floated in mid-air like a Demon God, and said indifferently, “Night Demon Valley? So, you are also a member of the Hidden Immortal Sect?”
The Night Devil Empress let out a cold laugh, “That’s right, surely you didn’t think that the power of the Hidden Immortal Sect was limited to so little? Let me tell you the truth, the real Immortal Gates are within Kunlun, any of our elders could descend and crush you with a single finger!”
Then the Night Devil Empress’s eyes flashed with greed, “But this matter is not beyond discussion. As long as you are willing to disclose the secret of Tianyuan, I might consider sparing you!”
The Night Devil Empress stumbled upon a bottle of Tianyuan and, to her amazement, discovered that this potion actually resonated with Spiritual Energy, capable of enhancing one’s Cultivation Level.
This discovery left her ecstatic!
In Kunlun, any elixir that could enhance Cultivation Level was worth a fortune!
She had never expected that such a thing could exist in the mundane world.
That’s why she painstakingly devised a plan to possess Fan Mengxue’s body in order to get close to Xue An and pry out the secret of Tianyuan.
Having heard her words, Griffin understood why the Night Devil Empress had gone to such great lengths to approach Xue An.
He also knew the effects of Tianyuan, thus his face too was filled with greed.
“Xue An, the Empress has already compromised, and I promise that today, as long as you hand over the formula for Tianyuan, I shall let all the people go!”
Griffin’s words incited fierce commotion.
Many people began to agitate.
“Tell them!”
“That’s right! Otherwise, we’re all going to die today!”
This was a pleading tone.
Some even turned their fury towards Xue An, blaming him for their current predicament.
“So you’re the bastard behind all this!”
“Spit it out, or we won’t let you off!”
The venue turned chaotic.
Cries of despair and curses mingled together, but their target was all directed at Xue An.
Mr. Long looked at one of the most eagerly agitating individuals by his side and couldn’t help but shout angrily, “Have you all lost your mind? It’s Griffin who is holding us hostage, yet you hurl such abuse at Mr. Xue, how does that make sense?”
Mr. Long’s words caused some people to shamefacedly shut their mouths, but more still glared at Xue An in anger.
At that moment, the Night Devil Empress laughed coldly, “Xue An, do you see? If you don’t speak up today, not only will I not let you go, but neither will the others present here!”
Under such pressure, Xue An, standing at the eye of the storm, slowly raised his head, his expression neither sad nor joyful.
But the Night Devil Empress suddenly felt tense inside.
Because she noticed that Xue An’s gaze was too calm, disturbingly so.
“When I was in school, I had made a promise to her that if anyone dared to bully her, I would stand up for her.”
Xue An spoke slowly, his tone untouched by emotion.
“She had lost both parents at a young age, leading a difficult childhood, and because she was pretty, she attracted countless troubles after starting school.”
“Yet even so, she never gave up on herself. When those people bullied her, she would just hide away and cry secretly! Because she said no one in this world cared for her anymore!”
From a distance, An Yan, who originally wore a worried look, suddenly felt her eyes turning red.
“In my eyes, she is like a sister to me!”
“And you dared to imprison her soul and torment it day after day?”
Towards the end, Xue An’s tone was filled with a surge of killing intent!
Simultaneously, an extremely cold aura erupted from his body, shooting up into the sky.
“No matter who you are, today… you’re all going to die!”
The Night Devil Empress exclaimed in shock as if she had seen a ghost, “A Loose Immortal? No! How could a Loose Immortal possess such a formidable aura? Griffin, fire!”
Fear filled the heart of the Night Devil Empress as she bellowed loudly.
Griffin, at this moment, was also somewhat dazed, his previously graceful demeanor gone, and he yelled at the dark disciples behind him, “Fire! Blast him to death!”
The sound of gunfire rained down, countless bullets heading towards Xue An.
But when they were still a dozen meters away from Xue An, the bullets all came to a halt.
And then gradually disintegrated, shattered!
This scene astonished everyone present.
Xue An shook his head, “I said, you’re all going to die today!”
With that, Xue An took a step forward.
Boom!
The entire venue shook violently.
Countless sword lights emerged from the sky, like the Grim Reaper in the dark night, engulfing all the dark disciples.
The Night Devil Empress and Griffin awkwardly dodged this strike.
Afterward, Griffin watched in horror as his dark disciples were chewed up like by a giant beast, all turning into a puddle of blood, dying on the spot.
“Lord Cerberus, save me!” Griffin shouted!
A large dog sauntered into the venue and said with an arrogant face, “I know, you lowly demons are just a bunch of waste!”
After speaking, its body started to swell, quickly transforming into an immense Cerberus!
“It’s the hellhound!” someone exclaimed.
“Oh God, could it be that Satan has descended tonight?” some people called out to God, trembling.
“Mortals, your cultivation level is impressive, but I am a Demon God under the Netherworld King; today, I will let you know what true divinity is,” the Cerberus said with a sinister smile.
Xue An’s expression was cold as he took another step forward, vanishing from his spot. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the Cerberus.
The speed was so fast that even the Cerberus was taken aback.
Then, Xue An grabbed one of the Cerberus’ heads and said coldly, “Even if your Netherworld King were here, he would still have to kneel before me today!”
Having said that, Xue An put his arms to use and swung the entire Cerberus around.
The Cerberus tried to struggle in the air, but when it saw the look in Xue An’s eyes, it faltered, and then let out a cry of immense fear.
“Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! I didn’t know it was you!”
But it was already too late, Xue An’s blow had shattered the entire Cerberus’ bones.
Yet the Cerberus didn’t even dare to resist, collapsing on the ground, looking up at Xue An with utmost reverence.
“My lord…”
“You recognize me?” Xue An stood in mid-air, looking at the Cerberus.
“I… I’ve heard our Netherworld King mention you before!”
The Cerberus was filled with regret at that moment.
How could it be him!
Wasn’t this man missing?
If it had known it was him, it would have been scared to death, and wouldn’t have dared to come!
Because this man was someone before whom even their Netherworld King had to kneel in greeting!
Xue An nodded, “In that case, you may die!”
Having said that, Xue An pointed with his finger.
A mighty Sword Qi pierced through the Cerberus’ three heads.
Cerberus couldn’t even react before it turned into a cloud of demonic energy and disappeared.
