Chapter 431: Chapter 431 Those Arrogant Ones Have Learned Humility (4th Update)
The Maya Priest’s powerful punch came hurtling down, and although it hadn’t yet struck, a deep pit suddenly appeared on the ground.
Standing within it, Xue An stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the descending fist, and said indifferently, “Even if the gods you worship were to return, I would not fear them, let alone you!”
Having said that, Xue An suddenly raised his gaze, stomped his foot, and his entire body soared into the air, flying directly in front of the Maya Priest, before raising his hand to deliver a slap.
Smack!
This slap sent the tall priest flying off the ground and spinning several times in mid-air before finally landing.
As he thunderously hit the ground,
the golden light on his body shattered with a crack.
Along with it shattered the gold mask he was wearing.
Underneath the mask was the terrifying visage of a Demon God.
Without any hesitation, the Demon God turned into a stream of black smoke and shot straight for the sky.
Xue An waved his hand, sending out a beam of sword light that chased after the Demon God in an instant.
“No!” A cry filled with terror and fear followed.
The sword light directly obliterated the Demon God.
After all this, Xue An turned his head to look at Gonzales, who was trembling like a sieve and as white as a ghost.
Before he spoke,
Gonzales had already fallen to his knees with a thud, “Great one, spare my life! I am willing to offer all my wealth to you, just spare my life!”
As he spoke, Gonzales kowtowed desperately.
Xue An watched the scene with a slight, cold smirk slowly forming on his lips.
“Actually, I do not like killing!” Xue An suddenly said.
“But sometimes I quite enjoy it, because it is very fair!”
“Before it, the once arrogant learn humility. The haughty learn restraint. The wicked wish to turn back. In short, rich or poor, high or low, everyone becomes equal before it.”
These words from Xue An caused Gonzales to break out into a cold sweat, wanting to beg for mercy, but found his tongue tied in a knot, unable to speak a word.
“I was always curious!” Xue An glanced at the girl who was shivering on the bedroom bed and said indifferently, “Why do those who are cruel and violent fear death the most when their time comes!”
“Now I understand. It is because you understand the value of life more than anyone else, yet you revel in depriving others of theirs! Right?”
Gonzales was already limp as mud, his sweat pouring out like paste.
An invisible force lifted him up, then suspended him in the air in the shape of a ‘big character’.
“What… what are you going to do?” Gonzales let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
Xue An said indifferently, “Let you experience the suffering you once inflicted on others!”
“No! You devil, on what grounds do you judge me?” As Xue An slowly approached, Gonzales yelled out in extreme terror.
“I am not judging you!” Xue An laughed, revealing two sharp canines, “You are judging yourself!”
With that, a strand of Xue An’s Divine Sense directly entered Gonzales’s soul.
As Xue An said,
he didn’t kill Gonzales, but instead used Divine Sense to impose the heinous crimes that Gonzales had committed upon himself.
This, however, was even more agonizing for Gonzales than death could be.
Within a few breaths, Gonzales’s bones had all broken, and he couldn’t help but let out a cry of despair, “Kill me, please, just kill me quickly!”
Yet Xue An said to the girl with the bewildered and frightened face, “Go home!”
Having said that, he turned to leave.
The girl suddenly said in a trembling voice, “Are… are you a hero?”
Xue An stopped in his tracks but did not turn around, and said indifferently, “No, I am Immortal Venerable!”
Having said that, Xue An turned into a streak of light and vanished into the sky.
At this moment, Gonzales was already soiled with excrement, his face completely overtaken by despair and fear.
Upon seeing the young girl, he couldn’t help but beg loudly, “Please, kill me! Grant me a swift death!”
The girl paused, her face showing hatred, “No, just now the Immortal Venerable said he wants you to endure the same pain that you inflicted on others in the past!”
The words “Immortal Venerable” that Xue An had just uttered were in Chinese, which was quite awkward and difficult for a Mexican to pronounce.
But this girl remembered them well, and when she repeated them now, she did so without missing a single word!
After saying this, the girl ignored Gonzales’s curses and pleas as if she hadn’t heard them at all and resolutely turned away and left.
Once she got home, the young girl converted her faith and became a devout follower of the Immortal Venerable.
Although she might not even know what Immortal Venerable truly stands for.
But for her, when she encountered great peril, none of the gods or Buddhas came to her aid—only that Immortal Venerable did!
As for Gonzales.
He was now enduring all the methods of torture that he once used on others.
The joy he found in torturing others was now his pain.
And it was the kind of pain where he couldn’t live yet couldn’t die.
You should know, Xue An, before leaving, had granted him a strand of vital energy, ensuring he wouldn’t die so easily.
And when someone finally discovered the tragic scene at Gonzales’s villa and came to rescue him, it was already a day later.
Gonzales was still alive at that point.
Only now, he was hardly better off than a lump of rotten flesh.
Aside from clinging to a single breath, all his other responses had vanished.
“God, isn’t that Gonzales?” someone exclaimed in shock.
Then some people prepared to carry him away.
Just at that moment, Gonzales suddenly, without hesitation, pulled out the pistol from the waist of one of the people and ended his own life with a single shot.
On the brink of death, his face showed immeasurable relief and longing.
Death was better; death meant no more suffering!
However, these events were all to happen later.
When Xue An returned to the Herrera family, Nikita and David had yet to leave.
They were all anxiously awaiting news.
When Xue An appeared at the scene.
Nikita trembled, “Mr. Xue… Mr. Xue, you…”
“It’s all been taken care of, and I would like to send a message to your superiors through you,” Xue An said indifferently.
“Please speak, sir!” Nikita said solemnly.
Ever since learning the identity of Xue An, Nikita didn’t dare to show an ounce of resistance or disrespect.
This man was truly a sovereign of the current age, an invincible existence!
“I am very displeased with what happened with Gonzales. What you capitalists do is up to you, but if there’s another act of conspiracy like this, I think I would very much enjoy performing a spectacular display of swordsmanship on top of New York’s Times Square Building!”
Hearing these words, the cold sweat on Nikita’s face began to drip profusely, her body trembling all over.
“Yes! I shall convey the message!”
Xue An nodded, “Alright, it’s time for us to leave!”
“But what about these corpses…” Nikita said.
Xue An casually waved his hand, and strands of flame fell, incinerating the corpses to ashes in the blink of an eye.
