Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2043: Chapter 2044: The Great Battle Begins (First Update)

”Yo, isn’t this Chao Jingshan? I never imagined you’d dare show your face here! Is this really a place you should be?”

With a sharp and sarcastic voice, a group of people squeezed through the crowd. Leading them was a man with an unmistakably arrogant expression on his face.

Upon seeing this man, the person who was chatting happily with Xue An instantly turned pale, his eyes filled with fear.

”You... how could you...”

”How could I be here?” the man let out a cold laugh, then quickly glanced over Xue An.

”Chao Jingshan, I just want to know when you’ll pay back the money you owe me. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not being courteous!”

Chao Jingshan’s face flushed red, ”I’ve already paid back what I owed you. Why do you keep pressing me?”

”Paid back? Haha, you really dare to say it, don’t you? You say it’s all paid, but where’s the proof?” The man sneered.

”When I borrowed money from you, we agreed on an interest rate of three percent per annum. Later, I repaid you five percent interest. Yet you still hound me. What is it you truly want?” Chao Jingshan shouted almost hysterically.

”Quit your damn yapping. If I say you haven’t paid it back, then you haven’t.” The man cursed and then signaled to his underlings behind him.

These people immediately stepped forward, intending to lay hands on Chao Jingshan.

Chao Jingshan was visibly terrified.

But at this moment, Xue An suddenly spoke in a calm voice, ”What’s this? Are you planning to make a move in front of everyone from the Jian Sect?”

Xue An’s words instantly calmed the crowd, who were eager for action.

Chao Jingshan cast a grateful look at Xue An.

The man’s expression darkened, and he said harshly, ”Who do you think you are, to meddle in Lord Jing’s affairs?”

Xue An smiled slightly and said leisurely, ”You might want to think it over before you speak. It’d be a shame if you died because of it, wouldn’t it?”

The man’s eyes flashed with a cold glint, and he gave Xue An a long look, ”Let’s go.”

With that, he led his men away.

But he did not go far; rather, he moved to a nearby spot and kept a cold gaze fixed on Xue An and Chao Jingshan.

In a grateful whisper, Chao Jingshan said, ”Friend, thank you for speaking up for me, but you’d better leave soon. These are people you can’t afford to offend!”

Xue An gave a faint smile, ”Oh? Why do you say that?”

”Sigh, you don’t know, these people are specifically loan sharks. I had to borrow some crystal stones from them due to certain matters, but I didn’t expect to fall into their trap. Even though I’ve returned several times the amount I borrowed, they still insist I haven’t paid off my debt and continually harass me!”

Xue An’s eyes flickered with a flash of insight, ”And no one manages this situation?”

”Who dares? I’ve heard their backing is the Profound Ming Tomb. Even when I sought help from numerous influential figures, it didn’t help. Once they’re set on you, you can only resign yourself to being unlucky!” Chao Jingshan said bitterly.

Upon hearing this, a glimmer flashed in Xue An’s eyes.

Profound Ming Tomb!

No wonder this man spoke so arrogantly. It turns out a super sect is backing them up!

What Chao Jingshan is facing is not a new phenomenon.

Just like loan sharks on Earth, they are a bunch of complete thugs who live off oppressing good people.

Years ago, Xue An had heard of such matters, but he never expected a top-tier sect like the Profound Ming Tomb to be involved.

”Friend, I know you mean well, but considering your family, it’s best not to get involved. If you can slip away quietly before the big fight starts, do it—otherwise, you’ll attract endless trouble!” Chao Jingshan said earnestly.

Unexpectedly, Xue An merely gave a faint smile, ”Leave? Why would I leave? I came a long way to see this spectacle; how can I leave before it ends?”

”But...” Chao Jingshan was anxious.

Xue An waved his hand, ”I appreciate your good intentions, but don’t worry. I have my own way of handling these people!”

Faced with Xue An’s calm demeanor, Chao Jingshan was about to say something, but ultimately sighed and fell silent.

Meanwhile, the man who had been staring intently at Chao Jingshan from afar received a report from one of his underlings.

”Report, boss, I’ve checked on the guy with Chao Jingshan, and he’s nothing special. He must have just happened to be with him.”

”Haha!” The man chuckled coldly, ”If that’s the case, then that guy must have a death wish, daring to go against me! Those people next to him, are they his family?”

”Yes, boss, I believe they are his family members!”

”Good. Since he dares disrespect me, we’ll teach him a lesson. First, capture all his family, and make him kneel and beg for mercy!”

Saying so, a flicker of cold cruelty danced in the man’s eyes.

His henchmen all wore sinister grins upon hearing his words.

”Hehe, this guy’s wife has quite a figure. I must have a good time with her!”

”Count me in too!”

”Have your fun, but be careful not to kill them, or how else can we make him yield?”

These people spoke casually, and from their conversation, it was clear they had done this many times before.

However, unbeknownst to them, Xue An was listening from a distance, and his eyes glowed fiercely with wrath as he was about to act.

Yet, at this moment, a commotion disturbed the crowd, and a radiant light flew rapidly toward the high platform.

It was the master of Jian Sect, who had ruled over Buried Sword Mountain for hundreds of years—Li Jingxing.

His appearance caused a ripple of excitement across the gathering audience, soon followed by a grave silence.

And none could ignore it.

Li Jingxing carried such immensely powerful sword aura.

So powerful it suffocated the entire audience.

”One man alone overawes the Sword Cultivators of The Multiverse, unable to lightly discuss the Sword Dao. This is the majesty of the Jian Sect master!” someone murmured in awe.

Meanwhile, Li Jingxing stood with his hands behind his back, surrounded by swirling Sword Qi, and slowly closed his eyes, seemingly awaiting something.

The entire venue was dead silent.

Finally.

With an ear-piercing sound, a sword light flew with great speed to the high platform.

As the brilliance dissipated, it revealed a slight, delicate woman at the center of the stage, her features like an exquisite painting, exuding a sense of ethereal beauty.
