"Are you trying to negotiate with me?" Xue An asked indifferently.
"It’s not a deal, just that it’s always good to show some courtesy, don’t you think?"
Xue An laughed, then turned to Zhuge Xuanqing and said, "There’s a saying back home, keep your distance from those who urge you to be magnanimous, lest you get struck by lightning when they do! What do you think?"
Zhuge Xuanqing nodded his head in sorrow and anger, "Mr. Xue, I think that saying is absolutely perfect! I will never forgive!"
Xue An laughed again, then turned back and said indifferently, "You hear that? The lady does not plan to forgive your actions!"
After a moment of silence in the void, that voice spoke again, "To err is human, to forgive, divine. Why do you not understand this principle?"
"To err is human, to forgive, divine?" Xue An laughed as if he had heard a huge joke, "When you dealt with Zhuge Banzang before, why didn’t you think of ’to err is human, to forgive, divine’ then?"
"You... What exactly do you want? This is purely a matter between the Zhuge Family and me! It has nothing to do with you at all!" Tian Zhao, the chess saint, said angrily.
Xue An shook his head, "You’re wrong. If it were someone else’s matter, I might not intervene, but when it comes to their family, I must. They are the descendants of my old friends! As for what I plan to do..."
Xue An’s palm suddenly clenched, completely crushing Jing Tianrui’s spirit, then he spoke coldly.
"Consider this me giving you face; otherwise, he would have had to endure hundreds of times more pain before dying!"
A silence fell in the void again, then a thunderous roar erupted.
"My son!"
The roar shook the surroundings, even causing the entire Yuejianxing to tremble.
The crowd waiting outside the Chess Academy were all shocked.
"That voice... sounds like the great Chess Saint!"
"How did the Chess Saint appear too? What exactly is happening?"
Amid these questioning voices.
Chessboard shadows appeared in the void and fell towards the Chess Academy like blotting out the sun.
"I want you to be buried with my son!" Tian Zhao, the chess saint, clearly reached the brink of a breakdown.
"God! Who has angered the Chess Saint so tremendously?" someone exclaimed.
And many others knelt down, trembling, under this powerful threat that changed the heavens and earth, praying for the Chess Saint to calm his anger.
However, just then.
Inside the Chess Academy, a dazzling sword light shot up into the sky, instantly shredding all the chessboards.
A roar came from the void, filled with rage and a hint of fear, "Aren’t you a cultivator of the Chess Path? Why do you know sword cultivator techniques?"
Xue An stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the ceiling of the grand hall that had been completely pierced through, and spoke indifferently, "Who said that a Chess Path cultivator cannot know the techniques of a Sword Cultivator?"
"You... You act so arrogantly, aren’t you afraid of retribution?" Tian Zhao, the chess saint, bellowed.
Xue An chuckled coldly, "Retribution? No, it’s you who should be worried about that! Moreover, when you deal with the weak, you never talk about retribution!"
Xue An paused, then continued, "And don’t think this is the end. You started all this, so you better clean your neck and wait to die at home!"
"Damn it..." A furious roar came from the void.
Xue An frowned and stomped his foot heavily, the void trembled violently, and the roar abruptly stopped.
Then Xue An said indifferently, "Stop your yelling, it’s giving me a headache!"
This rebuke was not concealed by Xue An, hence it instantly spread throughout the area.
Whether it was disciples inside the Tianzhao Chess Hall or the crowd outside waiting for a spectacle, all were petrified.
The shock of this sudden turn of events was simply too great for them!
Then someone whispered softly, "That voice... was it Mr. Xue?"
