Chapter 301: Chapter 301 Just a Mere Eternity! (2nd Update)
Along with his words, a middle-aged man with a majestic appearance flew across the sky and landed on the street.
“Subordinate pays respect to City Lord!” The Cavalry Commander struggled to rise from the ground and said respectfully.
The man who had arrived was indeed the City Lord of Jizhou City, Ai Hongyu’s father, Ai Boming.
At that moment, Ai Boming looked down at the body of his beloved daughter on the ground, remaining silent, with his expression changing unpredictably.
After a long while, he finally raised his head and stared fixedly at Xue An.
“No matter who you are, since you dared to kill my daughter, I will tear you apart bit by bit and let your soul endure endless pain until death!”
As he spoke, an extremely powerful aura emanated from Ai Boming.
Longevity!
A true Longevity Realm!
This imposing aura, like a tempestuous wave, made Bian Qingmu, a Loose Immortal, grunt and involuntarily take two steps back.
Such was the terror of the Longevity might.
However, faced with such a formidable force, Xue An remained neither sad nor happy, showing only a hint of excitement in his eyes.
“Good, today I will see just how formidable the Longevity Realm of Kunlun really is!”
Ai Boming was evidently furious, and his first move was a killing technique.
“Madman, die! Apocalypse God Fist!”
Boom!
A huge fist shadow charged straight at Xue An.
Xue An smiled slightly, with a fighting spirit igniting in his heart.
“Bring it on!”
Saying so, Xue An raised his fist, fearlessly clashing with Ai Boming’s punch.
Bang!
Following a muffled sound, an invisible shockwave spread out from the point of their fists’ impact.
Everything that lay in its path, within a thousand-meter radius, was affected; the blue stone slabs on the ground cracked inch by inch, and all the houses collapsed!
Bian Qingmu, protecting Bian Hua and Bian Tian, watched from afar in horror.
Who had won?
A moment later.
Suddenly!
Ai Boming grunted and staggered back seven or eight steps, his face showing an abnormal flush of color.
Xue An, however, only slightly shook his shoulder before quickly returning to normal.
To everyone’s surprise, Xue An had gained the upper hand.
This shocked not only Bian Qingmu.
Even the knights from the Ai Family were all terrified.
How could that be?
The Family Head, who had attained the Cultivation Level of Divine Spirit, actually lost to this ordinary-looking man?
By this time, Ai Boming’s complexion had turned extremely ugly as he said gravely, “Who exactly are you? How do you possess such formidable cultivation?”
Xue An smiled faintly, “Me? Just a Loose Cultivator! Come again!”
No sooner had he spoken than Xue An raised his fist and struck!
Ai Boming inwardly cursed his bad luck.
Although he was of the Longevity Realm, he was not known for his martial techniques.
He had thought that his fist just now could have blasted this man to dust.
But, unexpectedly, not only did he fail to gain the upper hand, but he also suffered a loss!
This couldn’t help but fill him with astonishment.
By his air, this man appeared to be at most at the Half-step Longevity cultivation level, so why did he have such formidable strength?
Seeing that Xue An was coming at him with another punch,
Ai Boming clenched his teeth and took another punch.
That punch directly blasted him over a dozen steps back.
Xue An seemed to be intrigued, “Again!”
Boom! Boom!
Two punches in quick succession.
Xue An actually sent Ai Boming flying from one end of the street to the other.
This scene also shocked many noble families who had come upon hearing the news.
“Who is that man?” someone exclaimed.
At this point, Ai Boming looked terrible, his figure swaying as if about to fall.
Xue An said indifferently, “Take another punch from me! If you survive, I’ll let you go!”
Having said that, he suddenly leapt into the air and shouted, “Move… heaven and earth!”
“`
Boom!
The power of this punch, although not yet arrived, had already caused the ground within a hundred meters to collapse!
And Ai Boming, with a look of terror, lifted his head to see the punch coming down and shouted in despair, “It’s actually Immortal Law!”
Boom!
This sentence caused a stir among many people.
Immortal Law!
That meant the supreme ultimate technique!
How did this man come to know it; what on earth was his background?
These people were full of doubts and uncertainties.
Ai Boming then shouted, “I concede!”
But it was already too late.
Xue An’s punch came crashing down, directly sending him flying a great distance, followed by a spray of fresh blood.
Severely injured!
Ai Boming, being of the Longevity Realm, had actually been severely wounded by Xue An’s single punch.
At this, there was a deathly silence over the entire field.
Xue An landed on the ground and stood with his hands behind his back.
“Your daughter galloped through the streets injuring people for no reason, and her intentions were malicious. I killed her; do you have anything to say?”
With a haggard look, Ai Boming turned pale, a glint of humiliation flashing in his eyes, but as he saw Xue An slowly raising his fist again, he hastened to speak out of fear.
“Nothing to say!”
Xue An nodded, “Since that is the case, I shall spare your life!”
Having said that, Xue An smiled slightly, “I know you’re not convinced, I am here to participate in the trial competition. When the time comes, you are free to come at me as you please!”
With those words, Xue An turned and left.
After they had gone.
Ai Boming was then supported and sent back to the Ai Family.
The news spread.
Jizhou was shaken by it.
Shang Family.
Shang Tianhe, who was practicing calligraphy in the study, showed little reaction when he heard the news, merely nodding his head.
“Understood!”
After the person who brought the news had left, Shang Tianhe finished the last stroke, then looked over the character for ‘sword’ that he had written.
Though it was only written on paper, an oppressive Sword Qi came forth nonetheless.
The only flaw was the hesitation in the final stroke, which introduced a blemish to what would have otherwise been a flawless embodiment of sword spirit.
“To defeat someone from the Longevity Realm while only being at Half-step Longevity; although Ai Boming is not known for his martial prowess, he still is of the Longevity rank after all. It seems you truly are a formidable opponent of mine!”
Shang Tianhe murmured to himself, then with a casual wave of his hand, a surge of Sword Qi cut the piece of paper with the character into fine dust.
Ruyan Tower.
Zhu Ruyan, upon hearing the news, fell silent for a long while, her eyes flickering with thought.
“Understood!”
When the maid was about to leave, Zhu Ruyan said, “Wait, I will write a letter. You deliver it afterward!”
“Yes!”
Zhu Ruyan picked up her pen, pondered for a moment, and then briskly wrote a few lines.
“Go ahead!”
“Yes!”
Xue An and Bian Qingmu along with others were staying in an inn.
The events of today had instilled a sense of awe in them towards Xue An.
Even Bian Tian no longer dared to frolic around Xue An as she had in the past.
To this, Xue An gave a wry smile, “What are you looking at me like that for? Do I look like I would eat people?”
Bian Qingmu was silent for a moment before bowing and saying, “Immortal Master, I was short-sighted before and offended you. I ask for your forgiveness!”
Bian Qingmu was apologizing for the disdain she had previously held in her heart.
Today, Xue An had proven his strength through irrefutable facts, and naturally, she was thoroughly convinced.
Xue An laughed, “Alright, no need to be so formal; a mere Longevity is nothing to fuss over!”
That was Xue An’s genuine sentiment.
In The Multiverse Realms, the Longevity rank was as ants, at most a mightier ant.
Defeating a Longevity was really nothing to boast about.
However, Bian Qingmu and the others took Xue An’s words as modesty, feeling even more reverence in their hearts.
