But just as Ji Yangxi’s hand was about to reach Su Xiaomu’s chest,
a streak of sword light flew across the sky, heading straight for Ji Yangxi’s salacious hands.
The speed of the sword light was so fast, Ji Yangxi couldn’t react in time.
However, several middle-aged men behind him reacted very quickly, one of them stepping forward half a step, his eyes blazing with light while he exhaled and shouted,
“Suppress!”
Boom!
A blue light enveloped the sword light, halting it mid-air.
This situation lasted only for a few breaths before the blue light flickered and then the entire area of stilled space shattered explosively, as the sword light continued its unstoppable path towards Ji Yangxi.
A bell-shaped golden light appeared on Ji Yangxi, while the several middle-aged men all rushed forward, protecting him resolutely behind them.
“Seal and Suppress the World!”
Each of the four men spat out a word.
Four streams of blue light overlapped, finally managing to firmly bind the sword light just as it was about to strike them.
But then, the sword light exploded with a bang.
It completely obliterated the several strands of blue light.
The middle-aged men spat out a mouthful of blood with a puff.
The faces of the many cultivators who were watching all showed shock.
It was just a seemingly inconspicuous sword light that had managed to injure all the powerful guards surrounding Ji Yangxi.
Who could it be, possessing such a high level of cultivation?
Ji Yangxi’s complexion also darkened, as even though he was protected behind others, he still felt a bone-chilling cold under the sword light, prompting him to shout angrily,
“Who wields that sword?”
“I do!” A calm voice came through, which, though not loud, clearly reached everyone’s ears.
And those three words, like a key, made Fu Xinyan and Su Xiaomu feel a sense of relief upon hearing them, regaining control over their bodies.
Both women hastily looked back.
They saw Xue An walking over alone.
An Yan and the two maids didn’t want to come over to join the crowd, so Xue An left them at the inn and came alone.
Ji Yangxi’s expression gradually grew grim, as he couldn’t see through this tall, handsome man who stood with a smile on his lips.
But his indifferent demeanor and the aura of superiority he carried made it impossible for anyone to underestimate him.
“Who are you? Why did you strike me with your sword?” Ji Yangxi asked.
Xue An, however, ignored his question and instead smiled at Fu Xinyan and Su Xiaomu.
“I was bored waiting at the inn, so I decided to come and see the excitement. I didn’t expect to arrive just in time for this commotion.”
For some reason, upon seeing Xue An, Fu Xinyan felt a sense of relief, as if nothing was too difficult for him.
Su Xiaomu, with a wronged expression, said, “Senior Xue, this guy is too despicable! Not only did he want to rob us, but he also harassed me and Sister Fu!”
“Oh? Shall I get even for you?”
“Yes!” Su Xiaomu hurriedly nodded, smiling with her eyes curving into crescents.
This attitude of complete disregard infuriated Ji Yangxi.
It was then that Xue An finally turned his head towards Ji Ershao and spoke indifferently, “Iron Bone Alliance?”
Ji Yangxi proudly said, “That’s right! And who might you be?”
Xue An smiled slightly, “Weren’t you just looking for me?”
“Looking for you? You are…”
Xue An nodded, “That’s correct, the third young master of the Feng Family was killed by me!”
This statement caused a huge commotion.
Some of the cultivators were at the tavern yesterday and thus, upon seeing Xue An, couldn’t help but whisper to each other in low voices,
“That’s right, this is the guy who took down Feng San Shao yesterday!”
“Hiss! So young! And how come his cultivation level is inscrutable?”
Amidst these murmurs, Ji Yangxi’s face grew increasingly unsightly.
This was because he hadn’t expected the man who killed Feng Sanshao to be so formidable.
The sword light just now had explained everything, especially since his own bodyguards were already injured.
Ji Yangxi was even less willing to confront this man face-to-face.
So after a slight hesitation, he said in a deep voice, “Very well! Do you have the guts to leave your name behind?”
“I am Xue An!”
Xue An?
Ji Yangxi frantically searched his memory for this name but came up with nothing before turning to look at a middle-aged man beside him.
The man also shook his head, indicating that he had never heard this name.
“I am just passing by today. If you have the courage, then wait here for a day, and I will come again tomorrow. Do you dare?” Ji Yangxi purposefully provoked.
Xue An, however, just silently looked at him and nodded after a moment.
“It’s possible!”
Ji Yangxi breathed a sigh of relief inwardly and secretly gloated, thinking, ‘When I gather a large group of men, you will surely have nowhere to bury your corpse.’
But Xue An’s next words made him freeze.
“However, you have to leave your hand behind!”
“Huh?” Ji Yangxi thought he had misheard.
Xue An said indifferently, “Whichever hand you used just now, chop off that hand yourself. Understand?”
Boom!
The entire crowd was petrified.
Even Su Xiaomu couldn’t believe what he was hearing as he looked towards Xue An.
Ji Yangxi’s earlier words, which indicated a desire to leave, had already secretly relieved many.
But unexpectedly, this man dared to raise such an outrageous demand – he had asked the Second Young Master of the Iron Bone Alliance to sever his own arm.
It sounded as incredible as a fairy tale.
The several men behind Ji Yangxi all stepped forward.
Though they were all wary of Xue An, they couldn’t afford not to act at this point; otherwise, they would face death upon their return.
Ji Yangxi waved his hand to stop them and then sneered, “Do you know who you are talking to?”
Xue An shook his head and held up two fingers.
“What do you mean?”
“I am very annoyed by people who talk nonsense, so I’ve changed my mind. Now, you have to cut off both arms to leave!”
Ji Yangxi flew into a rage, “Do you really think I’m afraid of you?”
Ji Yangxi was the Second Young Master of the Iron Bone Alliance, and from a young age, he was fed with various precious elixirs and practiced with rare cultivation techniques. Because of this, at a very young age, he had already reached the threshold of a Half-Step Golden Immortal.
At this moment, upon hearing Xue An speak to him in such a manner, his eyes reddened with fury.
Like a volcano erupting, an immense aura expanded within him before bursting forth.
A mass of green energy then soared into the sky, heading straight for Xue An.
“Senior, be careful!”
Fu Xinyan tensed up inside.
She knew all too well that Ji Yangxi was not an easy opponent and that the martial techniques of the Iron Bone Alliance were notoriously unpredictable.
She didn’t yet know what this green energy could be.
But after Ji Yangxi unleashed this green energy, his guards followed suit and launched an attack on Xue An all at once.
Ji Yangxi took this opportunity to turn and slip away.
Although he couldn’t see through Xue An, he clearly understood what cultivation level the deceased Feng Sanshao had.
He and Feng Sanshao were roughly equal, so it was very likely that he was no match for this man.
