An Zeng sat there without getting up, his left hand reaching
out to catch a crossbow arrow that was shooting over. He casually tossed the crossbow arrow to the side, then flipped the table
over and placed it in front of Li Yenian.
""Who did you offend?""
Anjou asked.
Li Yenian shook his head in fear. He was so scared
that he couldn"t even say a word.
After listening for a while, An Zhan lowered his voice and said, ""There are at least a dozen
people outside, their footsteps are scattered. This shows that they don"t have a tacit understanding with each other, so they
shouldn"t be from the military.""
He reached out and grabbed Li Yenian, throwing him up onto the rafters. Fortunately, he didn"t
react too slowly. He held onto the ceiling beam tightly and didn"t let go.
Anjou stood on the side of the door, his back against
the jamb. After a while, the door was kicked open with a kick. Immediately after, someone rushed in. An Zou reached out and
grabbed the clothes of the first person. Then, he cut the person"s throat with his palm, and the person then fell limply to the
ground. Anjou picked up the crossbow and aimed it at the candle flame. The bolt shot out and put out the candle flame.
Someone
rushed in from the back, cautiously inspecting the room in the dark.
An Zeng stood at the entrance and counted the number. There
were a total of six people who had entered, and there were at least six or seven more who were on guard outside.
To actually
dispatch so many people to kill him in a bridegroom who did not know any better about cultivation and was the host of the Rites
Department, the Department for Purging Officials … this was simply not aimed at killing a person, but at exterminating the
entire clan.
When no one came in from the outside, An Zizheng killed a masked man with one palm strike from behind like a ghost.
Reaching out, he took out the short sabre from around the waist of the fallen person. The sabre flashed in the room, and in a few
moments, the people who entered the room were hacked to the ground one after another.
The people outside hadn"t thought that
there would be an expert in the room, so they panicked. An Zeng picked up a crossbow and looked at it, then fired a few shots
outside. Four or five men in black immediately fell to the ground after being hit by the arrows. All of them were stabbed in the
throat with terrifying accuracy.
""An expert.""
The people outside murmured, obviously not wanting to alarm the neighbors around.
There were not many people left in the yard, but these people did not seem to have any intention of retreating. The few people
holding the crossbows began to retreat, then suddenly, An Zhe saw a large group of black shadows smashing towards the house.
An
Zhe subconsciously moved his arms in front of his body to block the attack, and quickly retreated. In an instant, he gathered all
the power in his cultivation.
But nothing happened.
When An Zeng felt that something was wrong, a sharp pain came from his back.
An Zeng"s body involuntarily flew forward, smashing the window in front of him into pieces. In the air, several knives were
shining brightly in the moonlight. He grabbed one of them and grabbed it. With the help of the man"s weight and strength, he
firmly landed on the ground. When he landed on the ground, his wrist vibrated and the longsword shattered. An Xuan thrust his
palm forward, and under the force of the impact, the fragments of the blade flew out, killing four or five men in black clothes
in front of him.
The door creaked open and a man came slowly out of the room.
""You"re not Li Yenian.""
This person"s voice and
body were very strange.
An Zhan examined it carefully for a while before asking, ""Demonic beast?""
The man shook his head.
""Spirit beast?""
The man shook his head again.
An Zhan took a deep breath. ""So it turns out to be the most difficult magical
beast to deal with.""
The man"s hair was dishevelled, and when he lifted his head to look at An Zhe, An Zhe saw that he was
wearing a metal mask. There weren"t even any nostrils, but there were two holes in his eyes. There were two b.a.l.l.s of red light in
the hole. They were weak, but it was very dazzling.
This person wore a wide black robe, but under the black robe, one could
faintly see the metallic moonlight.
Whether it was Demonic Beasts, Essences Beasts or Demonic Beasts, they could only be
cultivated to a human form after reaching the high-grade Purple rank. Therefore, when An Zaiyue asked this question, he was
actually a little uneasy in his heart. An Zhe knew that something that could transform into a human form was absolutely not his
match with his current cultivation level. However, when he saw the metallic armour, he knew what was going on. Demonic beasts
were all kinds of wild beasts that had cultivated to become demonic beasts, while magical beasts possessed all sorts of auras.
Since it was Qi, there was no fixed shape. The reason why this guy was able to take human form was because he wore a set of metal
armor. If the armor broke, it would become a stream of energy.
""Where is Li Yenian?""
the man asked.
""Why did you kill Li
Yinian?""
The strange metal man was silent for a moment, then he walked towards An Zaihai and said, ""If we can"t find him, we
can arrest you and interrogate you. We can also find out where Li Yinian went.""
If he used the bronze bell, it would cause
unnecessary trouble. The sound of the bell alerted all the experts in the capital. He did not have the strength to protect this
level of magic equipment, so he could not use it for the time being. Upon thinking of this, An Zhe flicked his wrist and took out
the Red Luan hairpin. If one wasn"t at a certain level of cultivation, they wouldn"t be able to use a purple grade divine
artifact. Therefore, this Red Luan hairpin was a peerless weapon in An Zhe"s hands.
""You want to resist.""
The strange metal
man"s voice also felt like metal rubbing against metal, making people feel uncomfortable. He moved forward, then raised his arm
to point at Anjou. ""Resist will die.""
After he finished speaking, a gust of black Qi suddenly spurted out from the wide sleeve
of his robe. Wherever the black Qi went, the gra.s.s withered, the tree trunk withered, and the corpse on the ground turned into
pus.
An Zhe frowned. This magical beast was originally a type of poisonous gas, but there were many different types of poison
gas, so there was no way to distinguish them. If only Qu Liuxi was by his side, she had a thorough knowledge of poisons.
After
failing to hit the metal monster"s target, it immediately pounced forward. It swung its two hands, and a dozen or so black qi
snaked out like snakes, crawling towards An Xuan at an extremely fast speed in the middle of the air.
An Zeng didn"t dare to come
into contact with the black gas easily. His body was like a cheetah darting through the jungle, avoiding the poisonous snakes
formed by the black gas. He then quickly approached the metal strange person.
The metal strange man snorted coldly. The sleeves
of his robe suddenly puffed up, like a sail that had eaten its fill of wind. Immediately following that, black b.a.l.l.s of air shot
out from his sleeves like cannonb.a.l.l.s.
His line of sight in the darkness was originally bad. This ball of air was also black and
silent, so avoiding it was extremely difficult.
With a thought from An Zhe, starlight flashed on the bracelet and a round shield
about forty centimeters in diameter appeared in his hand. The round shield was exuding a deep light and there was a pattern on
the surface of the shield. It was the scale of the holy fish.
The Holy Fish Scale Shield charged forward and bombarded the scale
shield with black b.a.l.l.s of air, but they were unable to corrode the scale shield.
The strange metal person made a strange sound.
Then, two solidified pythons appeared from his sleeve. An Zaixin"s eyesight was good, and he instantly saw that it was actually
an elongated arm. The metal armor worn by this person was very fine and could be changed at will. Two python-like arms wrapped
around him, while An Zeng swung his scale shield and knocked one of them away, the other quickly wrapped around his waist.
The
arm tightened quickly, and the python coiled itself around the prey, pulling An Zeng toward the strange metal man.
Just as An
Zeng was about to reach the metallic monster, the strange man"s other arm wrapped around him, and a crack appeared on the top.
From within, a black gas spewed out and rushed towards An Zeng"s face.
When the distance between the two of them was less than
one meter, An Xuan waved the Red Luan hairpin in his hand and cut open the armor that was wrapping around him. While the black qi
was being released, An Zeng lowered his body and rushed over to the ground. He used his left hand holding the scale shield to
poke the ground, then flipped his body over and ruthlessly kicked the metal strange man"s chest.
The strange metal man retreated
a few steps. Before he could stabilize his body, An Zhe had already arrived before him once again.
The Red Luan hairpin pierced
out, returning upon contact. The strange metal mannequin withdrew its arms and swept them across. An Zong had already circled
around to its back, and the Red Luan hairpin swiftly poked the back of the strange metal mannequin a few dozen times. The metal
creature roared angrily, turning into a python and coiling around An Zhan.
An Zhan swung the scale shield out. The scale shield
rotated in an arc, then smashed on the face of the metal freak in the air. With a bang, the mask split open and the black gas
began to vent outwards.
An Xuan seized this opportunity to dash over. The Red Luan hairpin continued to stab out, and the
metallic weirdo"s body suffered several blows in succession. By the time the two retreated, the metal monster was enraged to the
extreme.
""A guy whose cultivation is not even at the spatial realm actually dares to block my way!""
He rushed forward and saw
An Zhe smiling strangely.
""What cultivation I have is not important. What is important is that I have many good things.""
An Zhe
pushed his palm forward, and a burst of energy exploded on that metal strange person"s body. The strange person"s armor was
shattered with a loud bang. Previously, hundreds of holes had been gouged out by An Zhe"s armor, but now, under his palm, it
could no longer hold on.
When the armor broke, a large ma.s.s of black qi emerged from within.
""This is the Mortal Realm, you
magic beasts shouldn"t have come.""
An Xuan raised his hand and the scale shield flew out and collided with the black ma.s.s of
air, directly shattering it. Within the ball of air, a red bead was faintly discernible.
""Make a dish for the good sir.""
An
Zeng stomped his foot and shot out like a cannonball. In the instant the scale shield knocked away the black Qi, the Red Luan
took out the bead from the black Qi. The bead fell to the ground and rolled back out, constantly spinning to avoid the pursuit.
Just as the pearl was about to roll out of the courtyard, An Zhe"s Red Luan hairpin flew out and stabbed right in front of the
bead. The bead paused for a moment, and then the Blood Curing Pearl on An Zhe"s wrist flashed and was sucked into the bead.
There
are three beads in the hand bracelet. One was a medicinal field, the other was a spatial storage s.p.a.ce, and the other was a pearl
with the words" Fish "written on it. The scales of the holy fish were stored within it.
There was a square star point where the
bead was used for storage. After a flash of light, the bead was sucked into the bead.
An Zhan didn"t dare to stay any longer. He
rushed into the room and dragged Li Yinian down from the beam of the roof, then dragged him and ran out of the Li Residence.
Before leaving, An Zhe knocked over two lanterns in the yard and threw them into the woodshed.
""What are you doing!""
Li Yannian
anxiously shouted.
An Zaiyue pulled him along, saying, ""These people clearly cannot bear to see the light of day. If I burn down
your courtyard, the Fang family will send someone over."" When that time comes, these dead people will be discovered by the Fang
family or some other yamen. Those who want to kill you won"t dare to act rashly in such a short period of time.
Li Yinian was
stunned for a moment. He had already been dragged into the alley by An Zhe.
An Zhe and Li Yenian purposefully made a few laps
before returning to the Heavenly Gate Sect. This place wasn"t too far from the Li family, at least seven to eight miles away.
After An Zaihai returned, he locked Li Yannian in his room. Under the light of the lamp, he was finally able to see that Li
Yannian was so scared that his face had turned deathly pale.
""Who did you offend?""
""So many people were involved to kill
you.""
Li Yinian first shook his head, then nodded his head. His eyes contained boundless fear. ""Is it my turn?""
As he said
these words, his expression became extremely complicated.
