Chapter 1872: Chapter 1868: The Third Path (Second Update)
Red Lotus Immortal Venerable!
These four characters seemed to possess some kind of magic, causing Tian Haoyan, who had been consumed with rage, to suddenly calm down.
"Red... Red Lotus Immortal Venerable? Are you the reincarnated Red Lotus Immortal Venerable?"
Xue An smiled and nodded, "If there isn’t another with the same name, then it should be me!"
At this, Tian Haoyan’s face turned pale, then flushed, a most extraordinary sight.
Because this name was one he had heard countless times recently, to the point his ears were about to grow calluses.
At first, he was somewhat dismissive, even thinking those elders who warned him not to be reckless upon meeting Xue An were simply cowardly.
After all, no matter how powerful he was, that was all in a past life. In this life, he’s just an Immortal King after reincarnating and re-cultivating, nothing to fear.
After all, he has the elder’s protective armor.
But unexpectedly, upon actually seeing Xue An, he finally understood the elders’ warnings.
This Xue An was clearly beyond reason.
Because with just a few punches, he blew up the armor that he relied on for survival.
What an astounding level of strength!
But soon Tian Haoyan calmed down and then sneered coldly at Xue An.
"So it’s Lord Red Lotus, no wonder you’re involving yourself in this matter!"
Xue An’s close friendship with Huyue was nearly universally known across the Multiverse.
"Since you’re set on meddling in this, I’ll give you face and leave! Let’s go!"
Saying this, Tian Haoyan prepared to leave with his group.
He knew full well that with his own strength, he was no match for Xue An, especially when his protective armor was already shattered.
And Xue An clearly would not be intimidated by his sect’s reputation.
Thus, the most prudent and rational course of action was to leave for now.
Once back at the sect, he would find a way to get the elder to help, and then Red Lotus or whatever, it’d be all nonsense!
Tian Haoyan silently vowed in his heart.
But just then, Xue An suddenly called out to him, "Hold up!"
Tian Haoyan stopped, puzzled, "What else does Lord Red Lotus have to instruct?"
"Did I say you could go?" Xue An said blandly.
With these words, Tian Haoyan was taken aback, and then a trace of venom flashed in his eyes before it was quickly concealed.
He took a deep breath, "Lord Red Lotus, what do you mean by this?"
"I just said, I choose neither of the two roads you offered; I choose a third path, which is to..."
Xue An’s mouth curled upward, revealing a row of gleaming teeth, "...kill you!"
Upon hearing this, Tian Haoyan thought he had misheard.
Not only him, but the entire venue was in an uproar.
Because if it were just Tian Haoyan, a mere Half-step Immortal King, killing him would be no big deal.
But crucially, his sect was the Tiandao Sect!
No one had ever dared speak to a disciple of the Tiandao Sect like this.
Chuli Qing also widened her eyes, covering her mouth, staring dumbfoundedly at Xue An on the high platform.
She knew better than anyone just how formidable the Tiandao Sect was.
Otherwise, her entire family wouldn’t have been under its control, nor would she have been forced to do such things with Tian Haoyan.
Meanwhile, Tian Haoyan gradually regained clarity, then glared at Xue An with malice in his eyes, speaking in a chilling tone, "Lord Red Lotus, do you realize what your words imply?"
"What do they imply?"
"Heh, I am the chief disciple of the Tiandao Sect, sent by my master on this task. Do you think if I die, my sect would let you or the Qingqiu Fox Country go?" Tian Haoyan said sinisterly.
Xue An shook his head, "No, they wouldn’t!"
"Heh," Tian Haoyan sneered triumphantly, "Then..."
He intended to say, then what are you wasting words for?
But before he could finish, Xue An suddenly said, "In that case, I might as well annihilate your sect as well! What do you think?"
Tian Haoyan was dumbfounded.
This wasn’t playing by the rules!
The crowd was also stunned.
Who could have imagined Xue An’s imposing and fearless demeanor, not even considering the Tiandao Sect?
Only Zhuge Cang chuckled as if expecting all this.
"You... you..." Tian Haoyan finally regained his composure, then pointed at Xue An with trembling hands.
Just then, Xue An’s figure disappeared from where he stood, reappearing beside Tian Haoyan.
Tian Haoyan was shocked and moved to retreat.
But Xue An gave him no such opportunity, raising a hand to grab his neck, lifting him into the air.
Though Tian Haoyan had the cultivation level of a Half-step Immortal King, a considerable power in the Multiverse,
in front of Xue An, he was like a child, seized before he could react.
Along with his blood vessels and cultivation were pinched, preventing even his fingers from moving, let alone struggling.
Tian Haoyan’s face reddened, eyes bulging, staring at Xue An as if unable to believe Xue An dared act against him.
Simultaneously, those who followed Tian Haoyan began to stir.
Xue An merely glanced at them.
Just that look, and they stood petrified as if plunged into an icy abyss.
This formidable presence captured the attention of many female Demon Race members.
Then Xue An gave Tian Haoyan a faint smile, "Do you think no one dares kill you, allowing you to be so arrogant?"
Tian Haoyan couldn’t move, only madly blinking, pleading in his eyes.
But Xue An seemed not to notice, "What’s wrong? Not speaking? Or are you still unconvinced?"
Tian Haoyan was on the verge of tears.
In his mind, he screamed.
You’ve got me in a chokehold, how can I speak?
But of course, he dared not show it, only staring pleadingly at Xue An.
Yet the next words Xue An spoke were like plunging into an icy cave, making him forget even to beg for mercy.
"If I’m not mistaken, that armor of yours was made from that guy’s scales, wasn’t it? Meaning, it’s lurking within your Tiandao Sect?"
Tian Haoyan stared at Xue An in stunned silence.
"Are you wondering how I knew?" Xue An sneered, then suddenly squeezed hard.
Crunching sounds of bones resonated from Tian Haoyan’s neck, mingling with the scraping that set teeth on edge.
Tian Haoyan’s complexion shifted from red to black, his eyes bulging, his once handsome face turning hideous.
"When you and your sect committed such heinous crimes, you should have known this day would come. Now, I’m merely collecting interest!"
Then, Xue An exerted his strength.
Bang.
Tian Haoyan’s neck was snapped, with his head and a spray of blood soaring skyward before falling far away.
