The room was as silent as death.
These scions, usually high and mighty and taking pleasure in oppressing others, now found their statuses reversed and, like lambs awaiting slaughter, trembled as they watched Xue An.
"I heard all your earlier words from outside," he said, "and to be honest, I was quite surprised because your actions were pushing the boundaries of human decency!"
"But now none of that matters because Iβm going to make you understand that as humans, we must all have a sense of awe and reverence!"
Having said that, Xue An walked forward with a smile.
"No...."
The young scions all shuddered, snapping fully to attention, then let out ear-piercing screams.
They understood that this scholarly-looking youth was in fact a peerless Divine Slaughter.
And from his words, it was clear he intended to kill them all.
"Young Master, spare my life! I have nothing to do with this!"
"Yes, Chen Jiayu did all this, it has nothing to do with us!"
They cried miserably, trying to beg for mercy.
Xue An, however, was unmoved, simply saying, "Tell that to the ones below!"
With that, Xue An raised his hand, and a streak of sword light swept through the room like a roaming dragon.
All of them stood frozen in place, eyes blank with shock.
Not until moments later.
There were several muffled thuds.
And then, at the same time, the heads of these wealthy scions soared skyward, blood even splashing onto the ceiling above.
Thud, thud.
One dead body after another fell to the ground.
In the entire study, no one but Xue An remained alive.
And the floor was soaked red with blood.
Yet standing amidst the pool of blood, Xue An himself remained unmarked by a single drop.
He just stood there quietly, like a solitary Deity in this world.
At that moment, there were faint shouting noises in the distance, seemingly someone rushing this way.
Xue Anβs mouth curled into a cold smile, then he turned and left the study, stepping into the courtyard to look up at the sparse Starry Sky.
By then, the distant shouting had grown much closer.
"Donβt let him get away!"
"Hurry, seal the front and back doors!"
These shouting voices entered the courtyard.
Xue An sighed, "Killing people is really pointless."
Just then, the door of the small courtyard was violently broken open.
The Chen Residenceβs house servants and Protectors poured in, only to be terrified into a collective gasp at the sight before them.
For the entire courtyard was drenched in blood.
And a scholarly-looking man stood quietly in the center.
Xue An looked around at the group of house servants who had rushed in, and smiled faintly, "I killed the people."
These men were shocked.
Then, a few of the servant leaders exchanged glances and shouted together, "Charge at him, take him down!"
If they could not capture the murderer of the Chen Family heir, they, the house servants and Protectors, would all have to die.
So, desperate to live, the house servants and Protectorsβ eyes turned red.
Boom!
They swarmed in a frenzy.
Xue An yawned out of boredom, "Itβs so boring, might as well finish them all quickly and then go back to catch up on some sleep!"
As he spoke, the house servants charging in front all halted in their tracks, and then stripes of crisscrossing blood marks appeared on their bodies.
In an instant, these blood marks began to seep out blood, and afterwards, their bodies began to fall apart in chunks.
The cuts were incredibly smooth, and whatβs more, they were remarkably even.
As if... they were blocks of tofu cut with a knife.
This horrifying scene terrified the remaining house servants.
That feeling of life slipping away in his hands thrilled him immensely.
