Xue An waved his hand dismissively, "Enough, no need to say more! Neither of us are fools, and the Tian Zhao Divine King is definitely no idiot. Since he has put you in such an important position to hold the fort, he must have a means of controlling you!"
"Otherwise, if everyone surrendered as casually as you did, he probably would have died eight times over by now! Am I right?"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Sui Han, realizing that his true intentions had been exposed, leaped up, his body surging with Divine Power, and launched his strongest strike in a desperate move.
This strike changed the color of the wind and clouds, and even the sky seemed to turn upside down.
Those on the ground who witnessed this scene, the ones with slightly weaker strength, thudded to the ground, directly fallen.
Even those with considerable strength were pale-faced and unsteady, barely keeping themselves upright.
But Xue An made no move, simply standing still, as if he was prepared to take the hit head-on.
Joy appeared in Sui Han’s eyes.
His all-or-nothing strike would force even the Great Luo himself to keep at bay. This guy, although powerful, was still too young and overly confident!
But in the next second, all his pride turned to nothing.
For the strike he believed was sure to win, upon touching Xue An, made a sound like the clashing of gold and iron that echoed to the heavens and then... disappeared!
Yes, it vanished without a trace.
Not even a single mark was left on the armor.
The scene instantly became extremely awkward.
Sui Han’s mouth twitched, then he forced a slight smile, "My lord, actually, I was just fooling around with you!"
"Oh? Just fooling around?" Xue An said with a half-smile.
Sui Han nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, just fooling around!"
But before his words could settle, and without any observable movement from Xue An, he suddenly appeared right in front of Sui Han and, with a raise of his hand, grabbed him by the throat.
In both stature and physique, Sui Han seemed much more robust than Xue An.
But as Xue An grasped his neck, Sui Han felt as if he was pinned by two mountains, completely unable to move.
Sui Han was now truly panicked, thrashing his hands and feet in an attempt to break free.
However, now that Xue An was donning the puppet armor, imbued with immense strength, he was not someone that ordinary Divine Power could shake off.
At that moment, Xue An slowly raised his hand, and Sui Han was lifted into the air as well.
Even though Deities do not need to breathe, Xue An’s grip not only cut off his meridians but also directly severed the flow of his own Divine Power.
So, in just a short moment, Sui Han’s face turned a dark shade of purple.
"How does that feel?" Xue An asked indifferently.
By this point, Sui Han’s eyes surprisingly held no fear, and he said intermittently, "Surnamed Xue... if you kill me, the Divine King will avenge me!"
Xue An chuckled, "Well then, you can go ahead and wait for your Divine King to join you!"
With that, Xue An’s fingers suddenly tightened.
Thump.
Following a muffled sound, Sui Han’s neck was brutally crushed by Xue An, his head rolling off, and before it could hit the ground, it turned into a cold mist, dissipating into the air.
It turned out that Xue An had not only snapped his neck but also crushed his soul and Cultivation Level into nothingness.
Hiss!
Everyone who witnessed this scene sharply inhaled.
"Wow, how magical!" gasped An Yan, holding the seal and turning it over in her hands in astonishment.
"This must be puppet armor passed down from ancient times and crafted by a master. It’s laughable that Sui Han didn’t recognize the treasure, and even used this thing as a weapon!" Xue An explained.
"Something passed down from ancient times!" An Yan was even more surprised.
"Do you like it?"
"Huh?"
"If you like it, try wearing it!"
"Me?" An Yan was somewhat dazed before shaking her head vehemently, "I don’t want to, that armor is for men to wear, I don’t like it!"
Xue An smiled and with a touch of the seal, light flowed by, the seal rapidly changed shape, and in an instant, it turned into a very beautiful dress that was worn by An Yan.
An Yan blinked her eyes, looking down at the elaborate and fashionably styled dress, hardly believing her own eyes.
"Hu... husband, how can this thing transform?" she asked.
"Of course, it can! It’s just a pity that this puppet armor has suffered some damage over the long years, otherwise, just this single piece of armor would be enough to protect you from the full force of an attack from a Great Luo or even an Immortal King level opponent!"
"Wow!" An Yan’s mouth gaped wide open, "Is the armor that powerful?"
Xue An nodded, then looked up at the sky and said quietly, "Everybody knows how powerful cultivators are, but they don’t realize that the radiant Alchemy Civilization of ancient times was just as strong as today’s cultivators!"
"So where are they now?" asked An Yan somewhat confusedly.
Xue An smiled and shook his head, "They might no longer exist, or perhaps their legacy still survives in some corner beyond The Multiverse. Anyway, this universe is much livelier than you imagine!"
An Yan couldn’t help but display a look of longing and wanderlust.
Xue An smiled slightly, looked down at a Teleportation Formation inside the grove and said, "Yan’er, let’s go! We’ve fought our way here, and it’s finally time to meet the mastermind. Let’s not keep him waiting too long!"
