Chapter 1705 - 1701: As Long as I’m Here, No One Can Set Foot on Earth
Chapter 1705: Chapter 1701: As Long as I’m Here, No One Can Set Foot on Earth
Xue An stood quietly before the corpse of the monster, his eyes shining as if contemplating something.
This scene was instantly broadcasted worldwide via satellite.
The emotions of people, which had relaxed due to the demon’s death, tightened once again.
What is this gentleman doing?
Could it be that this demon is not dead yet?
These questions weighed on everyone’s mind, creating an oppressive atmosphere worldwide.
At that moment, Xue An exhaled slowly and waved his hand. A streak of blood-red flame appeared in the air and enveloped the demon’s corpse completely.
Where the flame touched, the demon’s body turned directly to ash.
In an instant, this gigantic demon disappeared.
Upon witnessing this, Zhuge Cang, standing in front of Old Xie’s Restaurant, had a flash of brilliance in his eyes and then smiled.
"The Red Lotus Karmic Fire! I wonder how those folks in the depths of the starry sky will feel when they see this flame again!"
At the same time, Xue An turned around, his figure flashing to the front of the Space Fortress.
"Instructor!"
"Greetings, Instructor!"
The Fire Phoenix Special Forces formed ranks and shouted firmly at Xue An.
Xue An nodded with a smile, but his eyes were fixed on the crowd standing opposite him.
Leading the pack was, naturally, Tang Xuan’er.
When her eyes met Xue An’s gaze, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, softly asking, "You’re back?"
Xue An nodded, "Yes, I’m back!"
"When did you return?"
"Just tonight!"
"Oh!"
With just a few simple words, Tang Xuan’er fell silent.
Standing behind her, Wei Rulan sighed internally before stepping forward, clasping her hands and saying, "Mr. Xue, thank you for saving us...."
Xue An waved it off with a smile, "Alright, don’t speak as if Earth isn’t my home too!"
With these words, Wei Rulan held back whatever she was going to say.
Xue An then glanced at everyone present, his expression gradually becoming solemn, "If anyone should be thanking someone, it should be me thanking you!"
"When I received the news in the Multiverse, it was already very late. I even thought Earth would face calamity, but you managed to fend off the enemy at the doorstep, worthy of gratitude!"
Xue An’s words moved many, with Wei Rulan solemnly responding, "You exaggerate, sir. As you said, Earth is our home too, and we certainly won’t allow these demons to rampage!"
Xue An nodded, suddenly saying, "You’ve all been holding on for so long and are already exhausted. Now, come with me to the surface for a good rest!"
Xue An’s words caused a stir among the crowd.
Although the demons in this invasion weren’t particularly strong, their frequent occurrences were relentless.
And there was no pattern; no one knew when the next demon assault would come.
In such a situation, nerves had to be kept taut every day, which was physically and mentally exhausting over time.
So hearing Xue An suggest resting was naturally a relief, lifting many spirits.
However, Tang Xuan’er hesitated, saying, "But what if demons invade while we’re resting?"
"Yeah! Someone has to be on guard in the Space Fortress! How about we, the Fire Phoenix, stay and watch while you all go down to rest?" said Cheng Hao, the Fire Phoenix’s captain.
Xue An smiled and shook his head, "No need for such trouble! If the Space Fortress needed guarding before, it doesn’t anymore! Because..."
"With me here, no one can step onto Earth!"
Xue An’s tone was calm as he said this, but neither those present nor those watching the broadcast doubted the truth of his words.
The natural confidence these words conveyed explained everything.
Tang Xuan’er was stunned for a moment but then shook her head with a soft laugh.
This Xue An, he really hasn’t changed at all!
Since Xue An had said so, everyone followed him back to Earth.
At Zhongdu’s command center, the Commander-in-chief of the Nation was stunned upon seeing this, realizing Xue An and the others weren’t heading toward Zhongdu but to the north of the country.
The north....
The Commander-in-chief suddenly understood, stood up abruptly, and said solemnly, "Prepare the vehicle!"
"General, where are we heading?" his secretary hastily asked.
"Beijiang!"
Calculating the direct distance, it’s barely over a hundred miles from the Space Fortress to Beijiang, a distance Xue An could cover instantaneously, as could even the least powerful Chan’er.
So before those watching the broadcast realized it, Xue An and his group had disappeared into the night.
People stared blankly at the empty broadcast feed, momentarily unable to process it all.
Because everything that happened from the start to now was extremely shocking and unbelievable.
Who would’ve thought these demons would merge and almost break through the Space Fortress?
Who would’ve thought Xue An, absent for so long, would suddenly appear and quickly eliminate this terrifying demon?
So everyone was silent for a moment, but soon after, the entire world erupted in celebration.
People, both online and in reality, rejoiced, spreading the news. The dark clouds that loomed due to the demon attacks disappeared entirely.
As for those young people who hadn’t known Xue An before or thought he wasn’t significant, their attitude changed completely.
With me here, no one can step onto Earth!
Just this one sentence subdued those rebellious youths.
At the same time, congratulatory messages from various countries flooded into China, all praising the safe return of this great figure.
Even M Country, which had never been on the best terms with China, begrudgingly offered congratulations.
Because even they had to admit that Xue An’s presence was like a stabilizing anchor, calming a restless world instantaneously.
Amidst the global celebrations,
Xue Anye had already led the group to land on the ground.
The people waiting at the front hurried to greet them.
Those present were mostly familiar faces.
So upon meeting, everyone was incredibly intimate.
Especially Tang Xuan’er. When she saw Fan Mengxue among the crowd, she thought she was mistaken until Fan Mengxue walked up to her. Only then did she confirm the reality, and with infinite joy, she grabbed Fan Mengxue’s hand.
"Meng Xue, when did you return?"
