Xiu Wen floated quietly in mid-air, his body slowly turned, and then he saw Xue An.
But at this moment, the joy Xiu Wen had upon his breakthrough had vanished, replaced by endless horror and despair.
The entire place was so quiet that not even the sound of breathing could be heard.
People watched with trembling bodies.
Then Xue An slightly tilted his head, "Oh, I forgot you can’t talk now!"
Saying so, he waved his hand casually, and Xiu Wen felt a loosening around his mouth, finally able to speak.
But the first thing he said was not a plea for mercy, but in a trembling voice, "You... you can’t kill me!"
"Oh? And why is that?" Xue An asked softly, with a slight raise of his eyebrows.
"Because... because if you kill me, then the Golden Cauldron Pavilion will completely lose its legacy, and in a few days, it will be the centennial Dao Heritage Competition. You’ve already killed Fu Guang, if you kill me too, then the Golden Light Cave Heavens will surely be defeated! I..."
Xiu Wen was babbling on, when Xue An waved his hand, interrupting him, "So what if it’s defeated?"
"If defeated, the Golden Light Cave Heavens might be expelled and divided up by other great heavens. By then, the people here will all become slaves to others."
Xiu Wen tried his best to paint a dire picture of defeat.
Yet to these words, Xue An just coldly smiled, then with interest he asked: "And how were your previous achievements?"
Xiu Wen turned pale and hesitated, "It was... the last place!"
Xue An raised his eyebrows, "Oh? In that case, what difference does it make whether you live or die? After all, you are already in last place while alive, aren’t you?"
Saying this, Xue An slowly raised his fist, watching coldly.
Xiu Wen was so terrified that his teeth were chattering, he stammered in horror, "No... don’t kill me! Although we were last before, it doesn’t mean it will be the same this time! Killing me, there’s no benefit for you!"
But Xue An just coldly smiled, "Benefit? Your death is the biggest benefit! And don’t worry, after you die, there will be someone to take your place in the Dao Heritage Competition!"
As his words fell, Xue An’s fist thundered close to Xiu Wen.
Xiu Wen let out a pig-like scream of terror, "No, if you kill me, who will suppress the demon ghosts in case of turmoil in this realm? After all the great seal of the Golden Cauldron Pavilion is in my hands..."
Before he could finish, Xue An’s other hand revealed a white light that bore a floating jade seal.
Xue An said indifferently, "Is this what you’re talking about?"
Xiu Wen was dumbstruck, "This... how... how is it in your hands?"
He could not understand how the object had ended up in Xue An’s hands.
Xue An coldly smiled, "When that Fu Guang died, I took it from his sea of consciousness! As for the demon ghosts you mentioned... none will escape!"
Having said that, without further hesitation, Xue An threw down his fist decisively.
Bang!
The fist smashed into Xiu Wen’s face, bursting out from the back.
Xiu Wen’s head was immediately blown to bits, along with his soul that had been bound by Xue An.
This disciple, who had cultivated arduously for three hundred years and only managed to break through to the Half-step Immortal King, basked in his triumph for merely the time it took to drink a cup of tea before having his head directly obliterated by Xue An, his soul shattered, relegated to history.
After doing all this, Xue An slowly retracted his arm, then with a slight shake, he manifested a flame that cleansed all the bloodstains.
Only then did Xue An lower his head to look over the entire plaza.
