Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Sorry, I mind!

“Don’t open the door!” Old Daoist Zhai was in a panic.
Yue Xiaoqian and Niu Yiwan retreated a few steps, their faces stern as they watched.
Xue An slowly walked out from inside the door, his face wearing a hint of helplessness.
“Spending the late night not sleeping, but fighting and killing, is that fun?”
Old Daoist Zhai urgently said, “Xue An, these two guys are not ordinary people, you’re just a common man, it has nothing to do with you!”
Then Old Daoist Zhai looked at Yue Xiaoqian and said in a deep voice, “You can see it too, he’s just a mortal, let them go!”
Yue Xiaoqian, however, wore a face of mocking smile, “Do you think anyone will walk away alive tonight?”
Old Daoist Zhai was shocked and lost his composure, “You… you… .”
But at this moment, Xue An clapped his hands and said with approval, “Well said, no one is leaving this place alive tonight!”
Old Daoist Zhai was on the verge of madness.
This guy, not coming earlier or later, chose precisely this time to show up, and even now, he was talking nonsense.
Yue Xiaoqian looked at Xue An with interest, “You are an interesting man, I don’t mind playing with you first, and then letting you die!”
“Sorry, I do mind!” Xue An said indifferently.
Yue Xiaoqian’s face darkened, “Granny here is giving you face, don’t reject it!”
Xue An shook his head and held up two fingers, “You’ve misunderstood two things!”
“Oh? Which two?”
“First, you are not my granny. Second, when I said no one is leaving, I meant you two. You won’t be able to leave tonight!”
His words left the others present somewhat astonished.
Yue Xiaoqian and Niu Yiwan exchanged glances, then burst into laughter.
“Oh man, what a joke, we’ve got all kinds of people these days. A man without any secret techniques actually says he won’t let us go?” Yue Xiaoqian said with a face full of sarcasm.
Old Daoist Zhai’s expression was grave as he slowly stood up and said seriously, “Xue An, you take the others and go, I’ll deal with these two! Hurry
Xue An neither agreed nor disagreed, but instead looked up at the moon hanging in the sky like a jade plate.
At that moment, the moonlight was like water, and the spring breeze stirred the pear trees, making it impossible not to feel that the night was unreasonably beautiful.
“Such moonlight, actually, is more suitable for talking about life with the ladies, rather than fighting and killing. So you two, are really quite a disappointment,” Xue An stated faintly.
“Enough talk, Niu the Boulder, kill him! This guy must be out of his mind!” Yue Xiaoqian commanded in a deep voice.
The Boulder, Niu Yiwan, smirked at the command, his right arm tensed, muscles twisting like a Dragon-snake, and then he charged over.
Xue An didn’t move.
He appeared as though he had been frightened into immobility, his demeanor still so calm.
A cold smile appeared on the corner of Niu Yiwan’s mouth.
This punch, he guessed, might blast this kid into nothing but dust.
He had already caught the scent of women inside the house; after dealing with these two, he’d have a good time venting.
With this thought, Niu Yiwan’s heart heated up, and he put even more strength into his hand.
His fist was about to crush Xue An’s left face.
Yue Xiaoqian didn’t even bother to watch the outcome; in her view, this man was as good as dead.
But just at this critical moment, Xue An’s hand suddenly shot out, blocking in front of Niu Yiwan’s fist.
Thump.
A dull sound.
Instead of the expected splatter of brain matter, a crisp cracking noise followed.
Then came the painful cry from Niu Yiwan.
Xue An hadn’t moved an inch, only his hair was swaying due to the draft from Niu Yiwan’s punch, yet when Niu Yiwan’s fist struck Xue An’s backhand, it was as if he had hit an iron wall.
Instantly, Niu Yiwan’s arm was crushed.
Niu Yiwan was horrified and instinctively turned to run.
Xue An sighed lightly, “Such moonlight, killing really dampens the mood. But since you brought it upon yourself, you can’t blame anyone else!” Saying this, he threw a punch.
This punch had no skill, not even as much as a small child’s.
Yet, it was exactly such a punch that Niu Yiwan simply could not evade, hitting him squarely on the back of his spine.
Staggering, Niu Yiwan did not move from his spot, but rather, his body began to emit a series of cracking sounds like firecrackers.
After a burst of crackling, every joint in Niu Yiwan’s body had shattered, and he stood still only by muscle memory.
Xue An slowly walked past him, gently exhaling a breath.
Niu Yiwan collapsed with a thunderous fall and breathed his last breath.
From beginning to end, it took a total of twenty-seven seconds.
Yue Xiaoqian, who had thought she held the winning ticket, almost popped her eyes out.
At this time, Xue An turned towards her with a grim smile, “Now, it’s your turn!”
Yue Xiaoqian felt as if she had been targeted by a tyrannosaurus, her muscles stiff with extreme fear.
She retreated as quickly as she could, hoping to escape from this place as soon as possible.
But no matter how swiftly she moved backwards,
Xue An was always following her at an unhurried pace directly in front of her.
Yue Xiaoqian, like a beast driven into a corner, let out a mournful cry, then released all the skills she had learned in her life, trying to kill this terrifying man.
However, all her actions were like a child brandishing a sword, utterly ineffective against Xue An.
By then, Yue Xiaoqian had already retreated to the edge of the courtyard wall.
She clenched her teeth and screamed up to the sky.
“Ghostly… Apparitions!”
A gust of gloomy wind swept past, and the bright moon in the sky disappeared.
The surrounding area was engulfed in thick black fog.
The ghosts wandered through the fog, emitting malevolent auras.
This was a secret technique she could only perform by draining her life force.
This would shorten her life by five years.
But the effect was excellent.
At least, this terrifying man was enveloped by the black fog.
Yue Xiaoqian breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat fortunate.
This man was terrifyingly formidable, but in the end, he had fallen for her trap, perishing under the Ghostly Apparitions.
The reason for her certainty was that Yue Xiaoqian had never seen anyone survive the Ghostly Apparitions.
It didn’t matter whether the person was a regular human, the Xiaoyao, or even a Heavenly Being; anyone who fell into the trap of the Ghostly Apparitions was destined to die!
Zhai the old Daoist roared and thought to come to Xue An’s rescue.
Yue Xiaoqian sneered, “Old Zhai, is this the mere mortal you’ve been talking about? If it weren’t for this miss’s prowess, I would have almost been fooled by your tricks too!”
The old Zhai just wanted to say something.
But then, a hand suddenly extended from the black fog that was thick like an enormous cocoon.
A delicate and slender hand, very elegant. Yue Xiaoqian was stunned.
Then, that hand violently tore through the air.
The dense fog that seemed impenetrable was forcibly ripped apart.
Xue An appeared in front of Yue Xiaoqian with an indifferent expression, smiling slightly, “Quite interesting, but useless!”
Yue Xiaoqian was so terrified that she turned and ran for her life.
But before she could even scale the wall, Xue An had grabbed her ankle and violently slammed her down to the ground.
Thump.
Yue Xiaoqian was smashed and half her bones shattered on impact.
As she tried to lift her head, Xue An stepped forward and planted his foot on her skull, speaking indifferently, “Don’t move!”
