Chapter 300: Chapter 300: Spare Lives Under the Sword (1 update)
Jizhou City.
The main city in the eastern region of Kunlun.
When Bian Hua and Bian Tian, the siblings, saw the towering city walls, they were so excited they almost jumped for joy.
For them, being able to come to Jizhou City once in their lifetime was considered broadening their horizons.
Bian Qingmu, however, remained calm.
She had been to Jizhou more than once, always for the sake of trials.
Of course, without exception, she was always eliminated.
This time should be different, right?
Bian Qingmu stealthily glanced at Xue An beside her.
Although it had been a few days since the incident in Yuanzhou City, every time she thought about it, she still felt her heart race.
Breaking through to become a Half-step Longevity on the battlefield, then obliterating nine people with his fists, and the lowest among these nine had the cultivation level of a Loose Immortal.
This man had completely overturned all of Bian Qingmu’s understanding.
She finally realized why, when she had repeatedly advised Xue An to keep a low profile, there had been a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Was he mocking her for being ignorant and narrow-minded?
With this thought, she couldn’t help but take a deep breath and then whispered, “Let’s enter the city quickly, or the gates will close soon!”
A group of people walked into Jizhou City, where the streets were several times wider than those in Yuanzhou City, and the pedestrians were all well-dressed, with many powerful figures among them.
Bian Hua and Bian Tian found everything fresh and new, with Bian Tian especially attracted to a street vendor selling trinkets, squatting down to take a closer look.
At this moment, there was a sound of a horse galloping rapidly from the direction of the street.
The horse was exceptionally spirited, and the person on it, dressed in red, wielded a riding crop and yelled as she sped along, “Make way!”
As she spoke, she lashed out with her crop now and then, causing unbudging citizens to cry out in pain.
This commotion also caught the attention of Bian Qingmu and her companions, who were about to step aside when the horse charged close.
Bian Tian was squatting by the roadside, unaware of the unusual activity behind her.
The woman, seeing this, lashed out with her riding crop, “Out of my way!”
The crack of the whip was ear-shattering, obviously very vicious.
Bian Qingmu was startled and about to step forward to stop it.
Xue An snorted coldly and reached out to grab the whip.
The woman in red was also taken aback; she couldn’t believe someone dared to seize her riding crop.
A look of anger couldn’t help but spread across her beautiful face.
“Let go!” she commanded.
With that, she attempted to wrest her riding crop back.
But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t move Xue An in the slightest!
At this moment, Xue An said indifferently, “Riding wildly in the streets, injuring people with a whip, didn’t your family teach you how to behave?”
This remark enflamed the woman in red with rage, “Who do you think you are, daring to lecture me?”
Xue An’s brow furrowed slightly; such arrogance was truly annoying!
Thus, he suddenly loosened his grip. The girl, who was forcefully trying to snatch the riding crop, nearly tumbled off the horse. Burning with rage, she drew the sword from her waist in one swift motion.
“I’ll kill you!” she exclaimed.
As she spoke, she thrust her sword directly toward Xue An’s face.
The force of the sword was like thunder, its momentum quite startling.
Bian Qingmu was slightly startled; this girl looked young, yet she had the cultivation level of a Heavenly Human Realm.
Yet facing this thrusting sword, Xue An didn’t even bother to give it a direct glance. Only when the Sword Qi was almost upon him did he raise his hand and flick it lightly with his finger.
Bang!
The sword, which the girl believed would surely strike true, was flicked into fragments by Xue An’s finger. The resulting waves of force knocked the woman in red off her horse, eliciting a pained cry from her.
Seeing this, the citizens, who should have been happy, all looked at each other before scattering in panic. Even the street vendors didn’t bother to pack up their wares as they ran away.
The woman in red, limping, stood up with a murderous look on her face, “You dare hit me?”
“Is that so surprising? Do you want another go?” Xue An said, feigning an advance.
The woman in red retreated several steps in fear, glaring at Xue An, “Alright, just you wait!”
As she spoke, the sound of hooves thundered in the distance, and soon a group of dozens of riders charged toward them.
The leader, a middle-aged man, dismounted and bowed in front of the woman in red, “Miss!”
With a dark expression, the woman pointed at Xue An and ordered, “Cripple him for me!”
“Yes!”
The man stood up and surveyed Xue An with a glance, a hint of a cold smile emerging at the corner of his mouth.
“Kid, you actually dared to hit our City Lord’s daughter, it seems like you are sick of living!”
City Lord!
Hearing this title, Bian Qingmu’s face suddenly turned white as he cried out in shock, “You’re from the Ai Family?”
The woman in red said proudly, “That’s right!”
Bian Qingmu felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
The Ai Family of Jizhou.
They are a millennium-old noble family and the current City Lords of Jizhou City.
No wonder this woman dared to be so arrogant.
This was going to be troublesome.
Xue An, however, remained indifferent, saying calmly, “Are you done talking? If you are, make your move quickly; I’m in a hurry!”
The man’s eyes grew colder as he shouted angrily, “You’re seeking your own death!”
With that, the man drew his sword and thrust it forward.
The power he displayed was astonishing, revealing the cultivation level of a Half-step Loose Immortal.
The several dozen knights behind him also drew their bows and notched their arrows, aiming them straight at Xue An.
Ai Hongyu’s face revealed an excited expression.
Let’s see you hit me now; you won’t die but you’ll be skinned!
At this moment, faced with such a formidable combined attack, Xue An merely stepped forward nonchalantly.
Boom!
The entire street shook.
The knights, along with their horses, were all knocked off their feet by the shock.
The man himself was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground, unable to get up for the moment.
Ai Hongyu was left all alone at the scene.
A look of horror gradually spread over her bewildered face.
“How… How is this possible?”
Her family’s Guard Captain couldn’t even make a single strike before being kicked away by this man.
What level of cultivation did he possess?
At this time, Xue An looked at Ai Hongyu and shook his head, “I intended to spare your life, but unfortunately, at such a young age, your heart is already so venomous. Keeping you alive would be a curse, so it’s better for you to die.”
As he spoke, Xue An casually waved his hand, sending a strand of Sword Qi straight at Ai Hongyu.
Ai Hongyu was scared stiff!
She never imagined that someone would actually dare to kill her.
Boom!
As the Sword Qi approached, a golden light suddenly appeared on Ai Hongyu, blocking the strand of Sword Qi.
Ai Hongyu heaved a sigh of relief. Thankfully, she was wearing the protective Jade Pendant her father had given her!
But just as she felt a moment of relief, Xue An said indifferently, “Again!”
Another strand of Sword Qi flew out, causing the golden light to flicker wildly.
Ai Hongyu was terrified, “No… don’t…”
But as soon as the cry left her mouth, the golden light shattered.
At the same time, from a distance within the city, someone transmitted a voice from afar.
“Spare the person beneath your sword!”
Unfortunately, Xue An’s resolve to kill was as firm as a rock.
Although the woman was young, her actions were ruthless, and just now, she had given the order to disable him.
So Xue An just raised his eyebrow slightly, and the Sword Qi directly pierced through Ai Hongyu’s chest.
Pfft!
Blood spilled out.
Ai Hongyu’s face froze with an expression of terror, and then her dead body collapsed to the ground.
A sword strike, through the heart!
At that moment, an incredibly angry voice sounded.
“How dare you, you madman!”
