Chapter 362: Chapter 362: Ambush Halfway (14th Update)
Having said that, Xue An took the Blood Pearl down from the stage and returned to his seat.
An Yan leaned in out of curiosity and asked, “Husband, what do you need this thing for?”
Xue An smiled faintly and whispered in An Yan’s ear, “I just felt a trace of the Rule Power emanating from this thing.”
An Yan still looked bewildered and asked dumbly, “What does that mean?”
“It means that this thing could also help you break your seal!”
When Xue An said this, his gaze flickered slightly.
Truth be told, he almost jumped for joy when he first laid eyes on this Blood Pearl.
After all, Golden Immortals were not so easy to find in this world.
And without a Golden Immortal, there’s no Immortal Constitution.
If that were the case, helping An Yan break her seal would have to be postponed.
Or even have to wait until Xue An became a Golden Immortal or a True Immortal to completely break it.
That would probably take some time.
But this Blood Pearl actually contained a trace of Rule Power.
Though faint, a rule is still a rule!
It could help An Yan break her seal.
More importantly, since this thing could be brought here for auction, it indicates that it’s not that rare.
Thinking of this, Xue An couldn’t help but recall the member of the Blood Clan he had slain in the City of Sin.
This race is truly quite interesting!
Thinking this, Xue An led An Yan and the two little girls, who were already dozing off, out of the auction hall.
Song Yi was waiting outside and hurriedly came up to meet them upon seeing Xue An emerge.
“My lord, how did it go?”
Song Yi’s status in Xiangjiang might be high, but he would not be allowed inside such an auction if he had no intention of bidding.
So he simply waited outside.
Xue An nodded, “The gains are not bad!”
Song Yi said with a smile, “That’s great, my lord, let’s go then!”
On the way, when Song Yi learned what Xue An had bid for, his smile disappeared and his expression became serious.
“My lord, does this mean that many people are desperate to get this thing?”
Xue An nodded.
“Then we should leave here quickly!” Song Yi said gravely, a hint of worry in his heart.
Although he had great confidence in Xue An, facing so many people, it was still wisest to leave as soon as possible.
Xue An just smiled, “Let’s go, do you think we can still leave now?”
As he spoke, a sinister voice came through.
“You seem to have some self-awareness, how about this; hand over the Blood Pearl and the Jade Marrow Spirit Stone, and I will spare your life. What do you say?”
With these words, Long Guanyu slowly stepped forward.
Behind him followed the officer Wang Geng.
Xue An looked at them, his mouth curving into a faint smile, “I think you’re the one most lacking in self-awareness here.”
Long Guanyu’s expression gradually darkened.
Then Xue An turned his head towards another direction, “Still planning to hide? Come out!”
Following Xue An’s call, Lu Xia appeared with a simple smile, “You really have good eyesight! You actually found me!”
Long Guanyu’s expression turned sour.
The appearance of Lu Xia undoubtedly complicated things.
However, no matter who came, Long Guanyu was determined to get the Blood Pearl.
So he said gravely, “Lu Xia, I confronted this man first; the item should rightfully belong to me!”
Lu Xia rubbed his hands and laughed earnestly, “But I’ve been following him since he stepped out the door, Master Long, this item is also very important to me. Please let me have it!”
Long Guanyu snorted angrily upon hearing this, “So, you’re saying you want to fight me for it?”
“With such a treasure in front of me, I can’t bear to give up,” Lu Xia said nonchalantly.
The two began the struggle for the possession of the Blood Pearl right in front of Xue An, as if Xue An were just air.
Xue An was not angry, and just crossed his arms to quietly watch.
After listening for a while, he let out a bored sigh.
“And there’s one more, when do you plan to stop hiding?”
As Xue An’s words ended, the figure of Quintina gradually emerged from a dark corner nearby, giggling, “Such sharp insight!”
Her appearance caused the complexions of Lu Xia and Long Guanyu, who were just arguing, to turn rather unsightly.
But Xue An just smiled at Quintina and said, “If I’m not mistaken, you’re a Blood Clan member, aren’t you?”
This woman was also from the Blood Clan?
Lu Xia and Long Guanyu were both startled.
Indeed.
Quintina spoke flirtatiously, “Such good eyes! Tsk tsk, I’m almost reluctant to kill you now.”
As she spoke, Quintina’s eyes gradually turned blood red, and two large fangs peeked from her lips.
Xue An looked on with interest until Quintina had finished transforming, then shook his head.
“Although you’re from the Blood Clan, you’re too weak!”
From what Xue An could see, this woman was not as strong as the Blood Clan member he had killed in the City of Sin.
Quintina’s face darkened as she sneered, “Weak or not is not for you to decide. Hand over the Blood Pearl, and I might spare your blood!”
Xue An looked at the three of them and helplessly spread his hands, “I only have one Blood Pearl, but there are three of you, so tell me, who should I give it to?”
The three were taken aback, just about to speak.
Xue An sighed and said, “I dislike using my brains, and I don’t want you to fight over this. So, to solve this problem, I’ve decided… to kill all of you!”
The room fell silent for a moment.
“Kill us all? Haha, that’s funny!” Long Guanyu laughed as if he had heard a great joke, his face full of mockery.
Quintina also smiled dismissively.
Even Lu Xia, who appeared simple and honest, couldn’t help but rub his hands together and said with a laugh, “My friend, if you hand over the Blood Pearl to me, then I can ensure your life is worry-free!”
Xue An smiled faintly, “That’s a good suggestion, but it’s more suitable for you!”
With that said, the aura emanating from Xue An suddenly surged wildly.
In a blink of an eye, it was like an unsheathed sword, too intimidating to look upon directly.
Long Guanyu, Quintina, and Lu Xia were all startled.
This aura…
Xue An gave them no chance to think or be astonished. Slowly raising his fist, he murmured softly, “Move Heaven and Earth!”
Boom!
Long Guanyu, who was standing in the front, was sent flying with a direct punch.
Following him was Lu Xia, who had just summoned his insects. He held on for a breath’s time, but with a muffled groan, he too was sent flying.
As for Quintina.
She had already been smashed to pieces on one side of her body by the impact of the punch.
With a single punch, Xue An defeated all three simultaneously.
Meanwhile, Wang Geng suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “You… You are Xue An!”
He had felt that Xue An’s punch seemed very familiar from the start.
Especially that phrase Move Heaven and Earth.
It seemed as though he had heard it somewhere before.
Later he suddenly remembered.
His family had held more than one family meeting to discuss Xue An, and he had heard about Xue An’s martial cultivation there.
And this Move Heaven and Earth was Xue An’s signature move.
The name Xue An seemed magical, making Long Guanyu and the others’ faces change.
Long Guanyu’s face flashed an abnormal flush of red, and then he roared, “Xue An, it’s you! You killed my disciples, today I will take vengeance for them, die!”
“World Annihilating Descent.”
After being injured by the punch, Long Guanyu was full of rage and thus he roared as he used his most powerful sorcery.
