Chapter 538: Chapter 538: Not a Single Chicken or Dog Left (Fourth Update)
The disciples of the Voodoo Sect were thrown into turmoil.
“This is terrible! Elder Fierce Tiger has been killed!”
Cries of alarm rose one after another.
Xue An shifted his gaze from the altar, his expression growing colder.
For he saw countless spirits of sacrificed children clinging to the altar, a clear sign that this was not their first sacrifice.
This ignited a fierce killing intent in Xue An, and he could not bother with any more idle words.
With a wave of his hand, countless beams of Sword Qi emerged.
“Kill!”
The Sword Qi surged like an ocean, completely engulfing all the disciples below.
ReadNovelFull.com“Spare them!” someone shouted as they charged over.
But it was already too late.
In the blink of an eye, these people had all turned into pools of blood.
It was then that four or five individuals rushed over from the village.
The sight before them turned their faces ashen.
Yet the demonstration of Xue An’s power moments ago had also left them quite frightened, so they tried to suppress their rage and asked.
“Senior, why slaughter the disciples of our Voodoo Sect without any cause?”
Xue An looked at the speaker with interest, “You are…?”
“I am the Sect Master of the Voodoo Sect, Wu Qi.”
“Very well!” Xue An nodded, then pointed at the altar.
“Sacrificing children, this is why I will exterminate your Voodoo Sect!”
Having said this, Xue An was about to take action.
At those words, Wu Qi was taken aback, hastily shouting, “Senior, hold on! We are both cultivators. Surely these mere mortal children aren’t worth such upheaval?”
“Mortal children?” Xue An’s eyes grew colder.
Wu Qi gave a smile, “Senior, cultivators by nature defy the heavens. It’s ‘every man for himself’ in this world. Isn’t the life of a mortal meant to aid our Immortal Cultivation? What’s wrong with that?”
Xue An watched Wu Qi silently, the man who spoke so shamelessly.
He suddenly understood why the once mighty Witch Sect had fallen.
For principles that would shock even the most heinous cultivators seemed like common sense, nothing surprising at all, to the Witch Sect.
Putting everything else aside, the cruel human sacrifices and live offerings from ancient times were enough to see the nature of the Witch Sect.
Put simply, the members of the Witch Sect were thorough egoists.
However, Xue An’s silence led Wu Qi to mistakenly believe that he had been swayed and he couldn’t help but say, “Let us put the matter of you killing my disciples behind us, and furthermore, we are willing to become friends with you, Senior!”
“Friends?” A frosty smile appeared on Xue An’s lips, “The people of the Witch Sect also have friends?”
Wu Qi chuckled, “Friends are there to be used. Senior’s cultivation level is profound, but we are not lacking either. Becoming friends would naturally benefit both parties.”
At these words, Xue An just smiled, “Benefit?”
Wu Qi proudly said, “Indeed! As long as you are willing to form an alliance with us, I might even share some ancient secrets passed down to you!”
“You should know, when it comes to history, no other sect has a longer lineage than the Witch Sect!”
Xue An shook his head, “Too troublesome.”
“Troublesome?” Wu Qi was taken aback.
“If I want to know, killing you will suffice! Why should I bother asking you?” Xue An said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Wu Qi’s expression grew cold, and he sneered, “Senior, you truly don’t think we are afraid of you, do you?”
“You’ve misunderstood one thing…” Xue An said calmly, “and that is, you have no qualification to negotiate terms with me!”
Having said that, Xue An disappeared from the spot, immediately appearing in front of Wu Qi and threw a punch.
Wu Qi burst into rage, “Ungrateful!”
He too launched a punch in response.
Boom!
Wu Qi was blasted away, and before he even hit the ground, he had already exploded into pieces.
The remaining elders were shocked. Just as they were about to make a move, Xue An slammed his hand down.
The massive force of his palm turned the elders into splattered flesh.
But just then, the altar glowed with black light, and the already-destroyed Wu Qi emerged from it, a scornful smile on his lips.
“It’s useless; this is my turf. You can’t kill me here!”
Xue An looked at him and said solemnly, “Borrowing a soul to be reborn?”
Wu Qi was taken aback, “How do you know about these things?”
Murderous intent raged in Xue An’s eyes.
He had just discovered that the number of young boy’s souls attached to the altar had significantly decreased, which reminded him of an extremely cruel sorcerer’s secret technique.
With the altar as the seal and the soul as the guide, one could be reborn.
But the price was the complete dissipation of those young boy’s souls.
“Good, it looks like you really deserve to die!”
As Xue An spoke, countless beams of Sword Qi emerged, encircling Wu Qi completely.
Wu Qi, however, looked on with composure, “Heh, I really can’t stand you self-righteous Immortal Cultivation folks. If you’re capable, kill me now. Anyway, if you kill me, I’ll just use those souls to be reborn! Hahaha!”
The laughter of Wu Qi abruptly stopped.
For the sea-like Sword Qi had already engulfed him.
“Aren’t you afraid these souls will dissipate?” Wu Qi shouted in shock and anger.
Xue An said coldly, “You think you can threaten me?”
No sooner had he spoken than Wu Qi was directly pulverized by the Sword Qi.
At the same time, Xue An’s vast Divine Sense unfolded.
A grey light could be seen rising from the corpse, heading straight for the altar.
Xue An snorted coldly, his Divine Sense directly intercepting the grey light.
Now, Wu Qi finally knew fear.
“Ancestor Witch, save…”
Xue An didn’t give him a chance to beg for mercy, directly obliterating him.
But just at that moment, a voice suddenly emanated from within the altar.
“Who dares destroy my descendant!”
With the voice, a powerful Divine Sense began to rise.
This Divine Sense appeared to come from the primitive wilderness, filled with an aura of desolate antiquity.
Xue An watched quietly until the Divine Sense fully formed before speaking indifferently.
“Merely an Ancestor Witch, and you dare to be presumptuous in front of me?”
Saying so, he stepped forward, and the Sword Qi transformed into a Giant Sword in his hand.
“Today, I will seek justice for those wrongfully dead children!”
“My lord, please don’t, I…” The Ancestor Witch, sensing the formidable aura emanating from Xue An, immediately began to plead.
Xue An didn’t give him the chance. He swung his sword directly.
A Sword Qi that could split heaven and earth thundered down, shattering the Ancestor Witch’s Divine Sense and, with unstoppable force, also cleaved the altar in two.
The Ancestor Witch was unlucky; originally, he’d come to put on an act after hearing his descendant’s call.
Yet facing Xue An, whose intent to kill was as wild as it was, he didn’t even have the chance to resist before being annihilated by that shocking sword strike.
After the altar was destroyed, the souls of the children wafted out, densely filling half the sky, all of them looking at Xue An with blank expressions.
Xue An sighed softly.
“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, the one who harmed you has been killed by me. Now, I will help you one step further, to enter the cycle of reincarnation sooner!”
No sooner had he spoken, Xue An drew an extremely complicated Talisman Spell in the air and then called out loudly.
“The bond of dust is severed, return to the cycle of reincarnation! Be gone!”
Boom.
The Talisman Spell emitted a soft glow, and the faces of the souls slowly revealed excitement and gratitude, nodding in thanks to Xue An one by one.
Then, the souls became progressively fainter until they disappeared into the cosmos.
Xue An felt somewhat pensive.
Perhaps because he had a daughter, he found it hard to suppress his murderous intent upon seeing the souls of these children.
Cultivators indeed defied the heavens, but it was the heavens they defied, not the teeming ordinary lives of the mortal world.
Moreover, without the mundane, how could there be the Immortal?
With these thoughts, Xue An waved his hand, and endless Karmic Fire engulfed all the buildings. Under the roaring flames, the Sorcery Sect was thoroughly eradicated, becoming history.
