Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Decrees Made, Under Heaven’s Law (Fourth Update)
Above the Immortal Palace.
Zuo Yuhu’s face was filled with shock as he watched everything happening below.
Even now, he could not accept the fact that the Imperial Son, Hao Yu, was already dead.
It wasn’t until Xue An mentioned his name that he shuddered all over and gradually came to his senses.
What’s going on?
How does he know my name?
Zuo Yuhu’s heart was filled with doubt and uncertainty, but he couldn’t help but stick his head out and said in a chilling tone, “Xue An, you actually dared to kill our Immortal Palace’s Imperial Son, you’re dead meat! Once my master returns, he will certainly tear you to pieces!”
Xue An ignored him and instead pointed at Zhu Ruyan in the crowd.
A stream of Sword Qi shot straight towards her.
The crowd let out a burst of astonished cries, not understanding what Xue An was up to.
Zhu Ruyan only felt her body lighten, and then she was lifted into the air.
Xue An bestowed a thread of Sword Qi to Zhu Ruyan, allowing her to fly closer as well.
Zuo Yuhu, from atop the Immortal Palace, did not recognize Zhu Ruyan at first glance.
Zhu Ruyan raised her head, staring intently at Zuo Yuhu, with angry flames flickering in her eyes.
“Zuo Yuhu, do you remember me?” she said.
“You are…”
“Seven years ago, the Zhu Family that you extinguished, do you still remember that?” Zhu Ruyan’s voice was cold as ice as she spoke.
“You… you’re a member of the Zhu Family?” Zuo Yuhu exclaimed in shock.
“Correct, this time, I came here to seek revenge on you! The forty-eight lives of the Zhu Family, from top to bottom, it’s time for you to pay!” Zhu Ruyan seethed.
Zuo Yuhu’s face changed unpredictably.
However, after a moment, his expression gradually calmed down, and he sneered, “So it turns out you are the remnant of the Zhu Family, what a pity I didn’t eliminate you too! I admit, your family members were indeed killed by me!”
“But what can you do to me?”
As Zuo Yuhu spoke, he began to sound triumphant, “You’ve found a powerful helper this time around, capable of killing our Immortal Palace’s Imperial Son, but since he has offended our Immortal Palace, how much longer can he live?”
Zhu Ruyan’s face turned pale as she heard this, and her eyes were filled with humiliation and anger.
Xue An frowned slightly, and a magnificent Sword Qi surged straight into the sky, slashing towards Zuo Yuhu within the Immortal Palace.
Ding!
Suddenly, a faint silver light appeared in midair, blocking the Sword Qi.
Zuo Yuhu laughed triumphantly, “Xue An, I admit your cultivation level is not bad, but unless we from the Immortal Palace go down voluntarily, no one can break this Mountain Protection Array!”
This was the source of Zuo Yuhu’s confidence.
The Mountain Protection Array of the Immortal Palace was constructed collectively by the Palace Master of Golden Immortal Cultivation and several elders, practically impregnable.
That’s why he dared to be so arrogant.
Xue An’s brow furrowed slightly, and countless streams of Sword Qi surged towards the heavens once again.
But this time, the silver light of the Mountain Protection Array only appeared more radiant than before.
These streams of Sword Qi still could not shake it in the slightest!
“Xue An, don’t waste your energy, this Mountain Protection Array is not something you can break! It’s only because our Palace Master and the elders are currently out that you can live a little longer! Otherwise, you would have been killed on the spot!”
“I advise you to quickly go back and find a place to wait for death obediently!” Zuo Yuhu said with a cold laugh.
Zhu Ruyan’s heart gradually sank.
She finally understood how difficult it was to kill a Zuo Yuhu.
As long as he refused to come out, no one in the entire Kunlun Immortal Realm could do anything to him.
And what he had just said filled Zhu Ruyan’s heart with alarm and dread.
“Sir, you are originally a person of the mortal world; perhaps it’s best to leave quickly! Otherwise, just like Zuo Yuhu said, it would be troublesome!” Zhu Ruyan paused before continuing.
“You have already done enough for me, and I am truly grateful. Your great kindness, I cannot repay in this lifetime; in the next, I must surely serve you as a horse or an ox in return!”
“`
Zhu Ruyan spoke, and as she did, tears started cascading down her cheeks.
This girl no longer held any extravagant hopes for revenge!
The crowd gradually fell silent, many faces shaded with sorrow.
For years, the Immortal Palace had acted with tyranny, and Xue An’s emergence had delivered a heavy blow to their dominance.
Yet, when the time came, many realized that the Immortal Palace still stood tall and unassailable!
Lu Xunxue’s eyes also brimmed with tears, and she cried uncontrollably, “My lord, please flee! If not, it will be too late!”
“Yes, go!”
Many others began to shout as well.
Witnessing this scene from above, Zuo Yuhu of the Immortal Palace wore a gloomy expression and angrily said, “A bunch of lowlifes, actually siding with an outsider to oppose the Immortal Palace! In the future, I shall surely execute them!”
But amidst these cries, Xue An, who had kept his eyes downcast, slowly raised his head, his eyes shining like the starry cosmos.
“I said,” Xue An stated calmly, his voice not loud, but clear to everyone present.
“In my eyes, none of you are Immortals! Thus, your self-perceived high and mighty bearings are laughable!”
Xue An’s words put a strain on many hearts.
“Laughable, who do you think you are? Do you think you are the one to judge who is or isn’t an Immortal?” Zuo Yuhu’s face turned uncertain, followed by a vicious sneer.
Xue An nodded slightly, “You’re right! Immortal or not, it is my decision alone! It is called… word becomes the law!”
With those words, Xue An transformed into a beam of light, soaring towards the heavens.
Humm!
It seemed as if a grave threat was felt.
The Mountain Protection Array of the Immortal Palace suddenly shone with dazzling brilliance, a surge of silver light blocking Xue An’s way.
Xue An hovered in mid-air, gazing through the silver radiance at the astonished looks of Zuo Yuhu and the others, and said indifferently, “Today, I shall break your Immortal Palace!”
As he spoke, Xue An took a step in the void, raised his fist, and lightly shouted.
“One punch, obliterate heaven and earth!”
A more advanced version of the first technique of Divine Slaughter Six Techniques.
It was also the strongest punch Xue An had ever launched since he came into the world.
The fist, as if drawn lightly, struck upon the silver light.
Then, the silver light began to flicker violently, causing the enshrouded Immortal Palace to tremble slightly.
Zuo Yuhu was utterly terrified.
“How… how is this possible!”
However, after all, the Mountain Protection Array built by a Golden Immortal could not be so easily broken; although Xue An’s punch dimmed the silver light significantly, it still firmly protected the Immortal Palace.
Only then did Zuo Yuhu breathe a sigh of relief, a smug smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
“All that talk, I thought you were something special, but in the end, you couldn’t break through, could you?”
But just as his voice trailed off, he saw Xue An raise his left hand high above his head, turning his hand into a sword, and lightly cried out, “Behold the true, this is the true Sword of Annihilation!”
An incredibly concentrated Sword Intent shot straight into the sky, causing winds and clouds to change within a hundred miles!
All the Sword Cultivators below were dazzled!
Fei Bai looked on stupified, with utmost astonishment, his heart trembling immensely.
So, this was his true strength!
How ludicrous that he had just been thinking about diligently pursuing the Sword Dao, to one day catch up with him! It was nothing but a foolish pipe dream!
And at this moment, in the horrified eyes of Zuo Yuhu and others, a sword light dozens of miles in length fiercely descended.
The silver light of the Mountain Protection Array lasted barely a breath before it shattered explosively!
Zuo Yuhu screamed in despair, “No…”
But in the next second, he was seized by the throat by Xue An, who had burst in, and was flung out, then tossed near Zhu Ruyan.
“Here’s your man, kill him with your own hands!”
