If Immortal King is a ticket to becoming the strongest, then Great Luo is like finally stepping out of your house to see the outside world.
Of course, Xue An is currently only a half-step Great Luo, and theoretically shouldn’t have such powerful traveling capabilities.
Yet, Xue An, as a former Immortal Venerable in his previous life, knew numerous Secret Techniques. Furthermore, Lihen Heaven and Tian Zhao Realm belong to the same Divine Realm, making traveling much easier. Thus, he returned to Lihen Heaven almost in the blink of an eye.
There, he encountered the scene where Lord Lihen forced Yangjian to kneel and beg for mercy, which prompted Xue An to intervene and reveal himself.
Upon seeing Xue An, Zui Meng, Yu Ren, and Xiao Tian were all elated.
Especially Xiao Tian, who was ecstatic and shouted, "Mr. Xue!"
Lord Lihen and Ziwei Star Master stared at Xue An with faces full of astonishment, until after a moment, Lord Lihen exclaimed, tremblingly, as if seeing a ghost, "Xue An, you’re actually not dead?"
Xue An smiled, "Of course I’m not dead. Are you disappointed?"
Lord Lihen glared at Xue An, his eyes flickering with light and his expression changing unpredictably.
He couldn’t understand how Xue An, even though formidable in his previous life, was now just a half-step Great Luo. Yet, he managed to survive the full force strike of the Immortal King’s Decree, which was utterly inconceivable.
Could it be true, as he claimed, that he possessed methods left from his previous life?
Lord Lihen was filled with doubts.
But at that moment, Ziwei Star Master suddenly said, "No, he has been injured! And it’s a severe injury!"
Hearing this, Lord Lihen was stunned, then looked up.
Not just him, everyone at the scene turned to look at Xue An.
Was Mr. Xue really injured? Xiao Tian’s heart tightened.
Indeed.
Upon close inspection, they found that while Xue An still stood straight and proud like a sword facing the wind.
His aura appeared somewhat fluctuating, and the brilliance in his eyes dimmed significantly.
Moreover, at this moment, Xue An even smiled, "Yes, I have been injured!"
This statement shocked everyone.
Xiao Tian and others’ expressions changed drastically.
Lord Lihen and Ziwei Star Master exchanged glances and then burst into hearty laughter.
Their laughter was filled with triumph.
Then Lord Lihen said with a sinister tone, "Xue An, you escaping the Immortal King’s Decree was already a lucky fluke. Yet, instead of fleeing for your life, you dared to return, truly seeking your own death!"
Xue An looked at the smug Lord Lihen and flashed a chilling smile revealing his white teeth, "From what you’re saying, it seems you’ve got me all figured out?"
"Of course! Mr. Xue, let’s be clear about your current situation. You’re no longer the Red Lotus Immortal Venerable of the past, and we’re no mere mortals. Moreover, with you grievously injured now, I don’t believe you can turn the situation around!" Lord Lihen said with pride.
Xue An watched Lord Lihen quietly, then smiled.
"Good, since that’s what you think, today I shall annihilate you all with this damaged Golden Body!"
"Stop wasting words with him, destroy his physical body first!" Ziwei Star Master, unable to hold back any longer, immediately made his move.
In his view, Xue An was at his weakest, a perfect moment to kill him and eradicate future troubles!
Therefore, his first move was an exceptionally powerful killing technique.
Seeing the stars intensify, they blasted towards Xue An.
Bang!
Xue An didn’t dodge or flinch, raising his fist, he fiercely countered Ziwei Star Master’s strike.
In such agony, suddenly there was another loud boom and three rays of light abruptly parted.
Lord Lihen and Ziwei Star Master stood on the spot, both somewhat out of breath.
And Xue An, who had been sent flying a thousand yards away, looked even more tragic.
Gashes teemed across his chest and arms like those on a shattered porcelain doll, threatening to break at any moment.
Blood incessantly seeped from these cracks, quickly staining his body crimson.
This might be counted as the most severe injury Xue An had suffered since his rebirth, facing an unprecedented predicament.
Seeing this, the field fell eerily silent.
Xiao Tian and Zui Meng halted their attacks, staring blankly with faces filled with despair.
In their eyes, Xue An, with such severe injuries, clearly had no strength left to continue fighting.
And this meant that, from the beginning until now, all their efforts had been in vain.
How could they not feel despair?
Yangjian also watched Xue An quietly, a trace of pity flashing in his eyes.
He knew this brilliant scion of the Hua Clan had already done exceptionally well, having given his all.
Yet, with fortune so adverse, Yangjian could only offer a bitter smile, then shake his head sadly.
Perhaps... the Hua Clan’s tribulation was not yet over.
At that moment.
Ziwei Star Master licked his lips and said teasingly, "Xue An, you still have time to surrender. Otherwise, with your current injuries, just one more joint attack from us and you will be shattered into pieces!"
