Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 922: Chapter 922: A Sword Shakes the Capital City! (First Update)

The dumplings were fragrant and delicious, with the soup being moderately sour and spicy.

In the cold, watery spring night, having such a bowl of dumplings really made one feel warm and content from the inside out.

Hu San slurped the dumplings while ceaselessly introducing the girls of Jile Hall.

”In Jile Hall, there are said to be four top courtesans! The one we saw today from Dangui Alley, Miss Nie, is one of them. Apart from her, there are the leading courtesans from other famous brothels like Huafan Tower and Soft Jade Pavilion—each one a peerless beauty!”

”It’s a pity that I’ve only had the fortune to lay eyes on Miss Nie once, and the rest have been out of reach! Tsk tsk, if I could have the honor to meet them all, then I would die with no regrets!”

Listening to Hu San’s words, Xue An didn’t utter a sound, continuing to eat his dumplings slowly and methodically.

Chan’er, however, really couldn’t stand Hu San, thinking he was deliberately leading the young master astray, so she glared at him fiercely.

”Pah! A lecher!”

”Hey, little girl, how can you speak like that? You should know that ’food and sex are natural desires of mankind.’ For a man to admire beauty is simply the way of the world, what’s wrong with that?” Hu San began to argue ”with reason.”

”Hmph, I won’t talk to a bad person!”

”Do I look like a bad person?”

”Don’t you?”

”Do I?”

”....”

While the two of them were in the midst of their endless quarrel.

The surrounding area suddenly fell silent.

Though the street had been sparsely populated before, there had still been latecomers or early leavers passing by.

But suddenly.

The entire street became deserted.

Even the laughter coming from the nearby brothels had vanished.

An imposing silence enveloped everything.

This ominous stillness caused Hu San’s face to change dramatically.

”Brother Xue, this...”

Yet Xue An, as if oblivious, kept his head down and continued to eat his dumplings, simply saying, ”Don’t talk, keep eating!”

Hu San hesitated, but eventually bowed his head and continued to eat, trembling.

Only after he had finished his bowl of dumplings did Xue An finally, satisfied, wipe his mouth and then raise his head to look into the darkness, a cold smile slowly spreading across his lips.

”Since you’re here, come out then.”

With Xue An’s words.

Figures began to emerge one by one from the darkness where the light didn’t reach.

One, two...

Shortly after.

Around the dumpling stand, from all directions, appeared more than a hundred men dressed in black with stern faces.

These men surrounded the dumpling stand completely, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.

The stall owner had already been scared into hiding under the table.

Hu San’s face was pale, his hands shaking so much he couldn’t even hold his chopsticks steady.

Only Xue An remained composed, letting out a slight sigh after surveying the group, ”The Chang Family is really domineering, sending so many people over such a trivial matter. Are they intending to mince me into meat stuffing?”

”You’re right!” A voice filled with mockery and brutality came through, and then the crowd silently parted to make a path, as Chang Haosi slowly walked in.

”Honestly, I didn’t expect to resolve your case tonight because if you had holed up in Dangui Alley and not come out, I couldn’t have done anything to you! But it seems that even Heaven is helping me, you actually dared to come outside for dumplings! Did you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?” Chang Haosi’s face showed a cat-playing-with-a-mouse satisfaction.

Xue An listened quietly, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the table.

Suddenly, he turned his head to look at the deathly pale Hu San, ”You’re right, the dumplings here are indeed quite good, so I’ve decided to have another bowl!”

Hu San was on the verge of tears.

What was the time for this?

Still thinking about eating?

But Chang Haosi just kept his arms folded, leisurely watching.

In his view, Xue An was simply stalling for time.

And he enjoyed this feeling of toying with a dying prey.

It gave him a pathological excitement, as if he had the life of others firmly in his own hands.

At this moment, Xue An, with a serious face, said to the trembling Old Luo Pot under the table, ”Excuse me, please make me another bowl of wontons, and remember to go easy on the pepper!”

Old Luo Pot was already shaking like a leaf, so much that he couldn’t even speak.

As someone who had set up his stall on the street of Jile Hall for decades, he was acutely aware of how domineering the Chang Family was.

Even tonight, he might very well be unable to escape death.

How could he have the mood to cook any wontons?

At this time, Chang Haosi sneered, ”Kid, I advise you stop struggling, no matter how you delay and feign ignorance, it won’t change your fate! Rest assured, I will take care of you very carefully, ensuring you spend the most unforgettable night of your life! Oh, and your little maid, after you’re gone, I will take good care of her, after all, my brothers here have not had their fill of meat for a long time!”

Having said that, Chang Haosi burst into laughter.

The laughter was full of arrogance and triumph.

”Sounds like you’re well-practiced at this; it seems you’ve done this kind of thing quite a bit!” Xue An’s calm voice pierced through the laughter and reached everyone’s ears.

Chang Haosi was startled, then said fiercely, ”So what if I have?”

Xue An sighed and said, ”Actually, I just wanted to enjoy a bowl of wontons, but since you’re courting death, you can’t blame me!”

What?

Chang Haosi thought he must have heard wrong.

Surrounded by so many people, he still dared to say that Chang Haosi was courting death?

Had this young man lost his mind?

At this moment, Xue An spoke indifferently, ”Come at me all at once, before it gets too late. After killing me, you can enjoy your wontons!”

”Kill him!” Chang Haosi commanded with a dark and terrifying face, waving his hand.

His men bypassed him and swarmed forward, preparing to carve Xue An into pieces with their blades.

Just then.

A drop of rain happened to fall.

The first spring rain of the year had arrived.

In an instant, the spring rain fell like a curtain, enveloping Tiansheng Capital.

But at this moment, no one was admiring the rain-soaked scene, as the Chang Family assassins surged forward with swords poised to strike.

Just as a smug smile began to form on Chang Haosi’s face as he watched from behind.

Xue An picked up a bamboo chopstick and sighed softly, ”It’s raining; what a dampener!”

After speaking, Xue An casually swung his hand.

The chopstick cut through the air, unleashing a sword glow as brilliant as the sun that cleaved the curtain of rain and aimed at the crowd.

The black-clothed assassins’ movements froze in an instant.

At the same time.

In the distant sky, a spring thunder rumbled faintly.

As the sound arrived, the bodies of these assassins split in half at the waist.

Blood gushed onto the ground, mixing with the rainwater in meandering streams, and the thick scent of blood pervaded and dispersed.

And then, on this long street, only Chang Haosi was left standing there, dumbfounded.

Xue An quietly looked at him, ”I told you, you brought this upon yourself. You can’t blame others.”

”No...” Chang Haosi was violently shaking, wanting to roar.

But it was all too late.

Xue An waved his hand casually, and the bamboo chopstick in his hand transformed into a dazzling sword light that pierced directly through Chang Haosi’s throat, then flung him against the brick wall in the distance, nailing him there, dead.

Chang Haosi twitched a few times and finally died with his eyes wide open, unwilling.

Xue An turned to the stupefied Hu San and smiled faintly, ”This rain really is boring, interfering with my meal!”

As he spoke, Xue An used his hand as a sword, slashing through the sky.

A stream of sword energy soared into the heavens, directly cleaving the thick clouds asunder.

The rain gradually stopped.

Xue An looked down at Old Luo Pot and smiled, ”Alright, trouble you to make me another bowl of wontons!”

No one dared to speak.

The whole of Jingdu was silenced by the might of this one sword.

This was indeed, a sword... that moved the Capital City!
