Chapter 563: Chapter 563: Yama’s Continent (Second Update)
“You…” The soldier was initially startled, then he wanted to say something.
But Xue An couldn’t be bothered with wasting words and simply flicked a finger.
Pop!
After a crisp sound, the soldier’s head burst open like a rotten watermelon.
The corpse fell to the ground.
Dead silence filled the area.
After a brief moment, a terrified uproar ensued.
“Heavens, he killed a Mojia Soldier, we’re all going to be buried with him in his death!” Someone cried out in despair.
Others simply began to cry loudly.
The boy was also startled, but he quickly regained his composure and said anxiously, “Brother, you must run, the further the better, fast!”
Xue An looked at the boy, and a trace of memory surged within his divine sense.
It was a very mystical feeling.
It was as if images were unfolding before him.
In an instant, Xue An came to know the past of this place.
This was a vast secret realm called Yan Futi.
The sheer vastness of this Yan Futi world made even Xue An slightly shaken.
The races living on this land were countless.
Nations and sects were as numerous as strands of hair.
The place where Xue An currently stood was a remote area of Yan Futi, under the jurisdiction of Qianniao City.
His former identity was that of a Hua Clan slave, captured after a defeat in battle.
The boy before him was named Xiao Shui, a partner he hadn’t known for long, but the former Xue An had taken good care of him, therefore Xiao Shui was very reliant on him.
“It feels like I’ve traveled through time,” Xue An murmured to himself softly.
But he was certain that this was not a case of time travel.
For this body was definitely his own, and although his cultivation level had been temporarily suppressed, his physical technique and divine sense were still present.
Even if this game of fate could make use of a part of the power of the Heavenly Dao laws, it would not be able to reincarnate Xue An as someone else without anyone noticing.
Not only could this game of fate not achieve this, no one in The Multiverse Realms could either.
Thinking of this, Xue An smiled slightly, “Run? If I ran away, what would become of you? Would you be buried alive as sacrifice by the people of Qianniao City?”
As he spoke, a chill tinged Xue An’s voice.
For he had seen many images of the Hua Clan being mistreated and slaughtered in the information he had just accessed.
At the same time, he knew that within this Yan Futi, one could say that there was an abundance of clans and countless experts.
But the status of the Hua Clan was the lowest of the low, always the one to be bullied and humiliated.
This ignited a growing murderous aura within Xue An’s heart.
He naturally did not heed Xiao Shui’s advice.
Xiao Shui, hearing this, was taken aback.
He had always trusted this brother of his completely.
From the time they had met, he had always been silently helping him.
But the former Brother An had been honest and simple, even dull to a point.
So when he heard what Xue An said, he couldn’t help but be stunned.
Especially when he saw the look in Xue An’s eyes, he was dazed for a long while.
For that gaze was as deep as the sea, unwittingly making one want to drown in it.
“But…” Xiao Shui suddenly trembled, coming back to his senses from Xue An’s gaze, and spoke hesitantly.
Xue An waved his hand dismissively, turned his head towards the distance, and spoke indifferently, “No need to say more! They’re already here!”
By this time, the death of the Mojia Soldier had already attracted the attention of the nearby guards, who were all rushing towards the scene.
This caused all the members of the Hua Clan to grow restless and anxious, with faces that revealed a despair, almost every single one of them.
Qianniao City, no! It should be said that all ethnic groups in Yan Futi were extremely cruel to slaves.
They would readily resort to burying people alive as collective punishment.
And to make matters worse, these people were from the Hua Clan, who were the most bullied of all.
Soon, a troop of armored soldiers marched over in neat steps.
Though it was only a small squad, their formidable presence could not be underestimated.
“Who is it that killed my men?” the leader of the troop demanded, a soldier with a red tassel on his shoulder looking like an officer, for his armor was finer than that of the average soldier.
Hearing his question, the Hua clansmen all trembled with fear, and some of the more faint-hearted had even collapsed on the ground.
“I’ll ask one more time, who killed my men? The whistleblower will not be executed!” the man said coldly.
The Hua clansmen looked at each other, determination gradually appearing on their faces that had endured humiliation, yet still, no one made a sound.
In the deadly silence of the scene, the officer sneered, “Very well! Since no one will confess, then none of you shall live! Soldiers, enact collective punishment, cut them at the waist!”
Waist cutting!
A punishment even more brutal than being buried alive.
All the Hua clansmen shivered as one, all hope draining from them as they hung their heads in despair.
Only Xiao Shui’s bright eyes blazed with a trace of anger and murderous intent.
But the officer was exceptionally alert, and despite the faintness of Xiao Shui’s killing intent, he immediately felt it and turned to look in her direction.
Xiao Shui hurriedly bowed her head to hide her gaze.
The officer walked over slowly, hand resting on his sword.
“You, lift up your head!” he ordered.
Xiao Shui trembled all over, yet did not lift her head.
A cruel smile played on the officer’s lips as he slowly drew his sword, his gaze fixed on Xiao Shui’s neck.
Such a slender neck this youth had, the sword would surely paint a beautiful splash of blood upon severing it!
Just thinking of the scene excited the officer.
But at that moment, a hand gently landed on his arrowhead, while another lightly pushed back the sword he had been about to draw.
“Are you… from the Qianniao clan?” Xue An asked calmly.
The officer’s muscles tensed instantly.
Because from start to finish, he had not noticed when Xue An had appeared by his side.
“Don’t be nervous! Answer my question!”
The officer’s face showed fierce hostility as he signaled his subordinates behind Xue An with a glance.
These subordinates, even better trained than those Mojia Soldiers just now, moved into a tight formation upon their leader’s command, encircling Xue An.
All the Hua clansmen retreated in horror to one side.
Xiao Shui watched in complete astonishment.
For in just a brief moment, her once inarticulate brother had given her too many surprises.
“Yes, I am a noble person of the Qianniao clan. It was you who killed my man just now, wasn’t it!” the officer said coldly.
Xue An nodded.
“Very well, you have the bravery of a warrior. Now, let go, and I shall decapitate you, granting you the treatment due a valiant warrior.”
At these words, Xue An smiled faintly, “It seems you’ve made a mistake about something!”
“Hmm?” The officer was taken aback, not understanding the meaning behind Xue An’s words.
“That mistake is that the ones who are truly going to die are you!” Xue An said, his hand on the officer’s shoulder curling into a fist and throwing a punch.
The officer, whose physique was strong enough to rival a Heavenly Being with Heavenly Being Cultivation Level, had his head blown to pieces by that single punch.
And Xue An’s other hand drew the officer’s own sword, slashing it horizontally at the advancing Mojia Soldiers.
Crack.
The soldiers’ upper bodies flew off as one, crashing to the ground.
While the lower halves remained upright on the ground.
Agony and the fear of death easily overcame these Qianniao soldiers, causing them to scream and struggle in the mire before gradually dying.
