Chapter 564: Chapter 564 With This Physical Body, Still Invincible in This World (3rd Update)
All the Hua Clan members stared blankly.
No one had expected such an outcome.
The killing of a small squad of Mojia Soldiers could lead to the decimation of the entire Hua Clan.
Therefore, many looked at Xue An with eyes filled with fear at this moment.
Only Xiao Shui stepped forward and stood beside Xue An, speaking in a deep voice, “Brother, what do we do now?”
With so many Mojia Soldiers dead, Qianniao City would definitely not let this pass.
This was undeniable.
Thus, Xiao Shui’s mind was racing, thinking of countermeasures.
Should we flee into the depths of the mountains and wait for the situation to calm down before coming out?
But the mountains were rife with ferocious beasts, and entering them would be like sheep entering the tiger’s den.
What should we do?
Xiao Shui was wracking his brain for ideas.
He heard Xue An speak indifferently, “What ‘what do we do’?”
“Huh?” Xiao Shui was taken aback, then pointed at the corpses on the ground, “With so many Mojia Soldiers killed, the people from Qianniao City will surely come after us! Shouldn’t we avoid the limelight for now?”
Xue An shook his head, “No need!”
“Then what is your plan, Brother An…” Xiao Shui asked.
Xue An exhaled and looked towards the east.
That was the direction of Qianniao City.
“Kill our way there, take over Qianniao City!”
Xiao Shui, who had been waiting for Xue An’s strategy, almost cried upon hearing this.
“Brother An, you must be joking, right?”
Xiao Shui’s voice trailed off as he noticed Xue An was serious.
Not just him, even the other Hua Clansmen were stunned.
In the end, Xiao Shui said with a bitter smile, “Brother An, I don’t know why you have become so powerful all of a sudden, to the point of killing a small squad of Mojia Soldiers! But Qianniao City is host to the most beloved daughter of the King of Qianniao, the city is filled with experts, and two Mojia Troops guard it.”
Xiao Shui didn’t finish his sentence, the implication was clear enough.
Even if you are formidable, could you really contend with two Mojia Troops?
But Xue An merely smiled faintly and looked around at all the Hua clansmen in tattered clothing.
When the officer had demanded to know who was responsible for the killing, Xue An had deliberately remained silent.
Because he wanted to see how the Hua clansmen would respond.
The result hadn’t disappointed him.
Though they endured humiliations, the Hua clansmen had not broken their backs.
Perhaps this character was deeply ingrained in the Hua people.
When other nations prayed to the heavens for salvation from floods, the Hua people dug canals to manage the waters themselves.
When the sky was falling, they would quarry stone to patch it up.
When plagued by diseases, they didn’t pray for miracles, they tested medicines and treated themselves.
If they drowned in the East Sea, they would fill it; if a mountain blocked their path, they would start digging through it.
A people who had split the heavens and earth with their own axes had certain things that were sacrosanct.
So when Xue An looked at this group of Hua clansmen, battered and with somewhat numb expressions from torture, he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of emotion.
“Do you… want to go home?” Xue An said softly.
With one sentence, everyone fell silent.
Xue An looked at the group and asked again, “Do you?”
The question led many to have red eyes, some began to breathe deeply, seemingly trying to hold back tears.
“I know you all definitely want to go home! So now, I’m going to take you home!”
Xue An’s words left all the Hua clansmen completely stunned.
Along with Xiao Shui, everyone was staring straight at Xue An.
Xue An stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the faintly visible Qianniao City in the distance and said indifferently, “Initially, you were captured and brought here, so now I will lead you back the same way to kill our way back! Whether it’s Qianniao City or a Wanbird City, anyone who dares to obstruct us will be shown no mercy along the way! But now I have one question for you… Do you dare?”
The murderous intent in Xue An’s words seemed to be overflowing.
After a moment of silence, all the Hua Clan people bowed together, “As long as we can return home, we are willing to fight to the death!”
“Very well!” Xue An nodded.
Meanwhile, Xiao Shui was staring dumbfounded at Xue An’s back as if she had turned to stone.
Was this still the same brother who was like a block of wood before?
Why had he changed so much all of a sudden?
Xue An’s eyes flickered as he looked into the distance.
He had already somewhat understood the rules of this game of fate.
It was to have people join the chaos of this mortal world, and the one who stands out in the end would be the victor.
Combined with his own suppressed Cultivation Level, the other entrants in this secret realm must be the same.
The most correct approach now should be to lead this group of Hua Clan prisoners of war, slowly develop our forces, and ultimately compete for supremacy in the world to seize fate.
This was the proper path.
But the game of fate had miscalculated one thing.
And that was, Xue An was utterly disdainful of joining this game.
The idea that one must join the game to resolve and eventually break it simply did not exist for Xue An.
He wouldn’t even become a player in the game!
What Xue An intended to do was to directly pick up the chessboard and smash it in the opponent’s face.
His Cultivation Level might have been suppressed, but Xue An was confident that with his physical body alone, he could remain invincible in this world.
So… he decided to kill his way back!
No matter who the obstructer on the road ahead was!
Divine blocks, Divine Slaughter, Buddha blocks, slay Buddha!
Soon, these Hua Clan prisoners of war organized themselves.
Despite being tortured, they were all of military origin, and so the ranks were reasonably ordered. However, they were all pale and emaciated, notably weak.
Xue An had people retrieve the food and wine stored by the guards, then they began cooking in pots, feeding everyone a meal before setting off.
The Hua Clan people were sent here to build a courier station, so they were not too far from Qianniao City, just a few dozen miles away.
But because all the Hua Clan people were injured, they moved slowly.
It was almost evening by the time they arrived at the foot of Qianniao City.
Xue An looked up at the city built entirely of black basalt rock and smiled coldly, then stepped forward.
“Who goes there!”
The soldiers guarding the wall were elites, so upon hearing the unusual noise, their response was very swift.
When Xue An led the many Hua Clan people into the light of the torches, the guarding soldiers were first taken aback, then they all heaved a sigh of relief.
“Heh, I thought who it was, turns out it’s just a group of Hua Clan slaves! What are you doing here so late?” the guardian soldier asked with a cold laugh.
Xiao Shui, also throwing caution to the winds, shouted, “We’ve come to take your lives, of course. Are you not going to open the city gates and surrender?”
The soldier was first taken aback, then burst into laughter.
“Where did this wild brat come from? You’re really telling jokes, hehe, fire the arrows! Kill these people!” The soldiers drew their bows and aimed their arrows at Xue An and the others.
To them, this was like a game, something to be played with.
What’s more, Xiao Shui had dared to provoke them.
But Xue An just laughed.
Then he took a step forward and reached near the wall, raising his fist and smashing it down.
“Is this guy here to be funny? This is the hardest basalt, and it’s been refined with Secret Technique. Even a boulder can’t break it, yet he’s using his fist…”
Before the words were finished, there was a loud noise.
Under Xue An’s punch, the hard wall crumbled like paper, and half of it collapsed immediately.
