Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 722: Chapter 722: This Person, Is Provoking My Xiong Family (2nd Update)

“What… What is happening?” Xiong Hai cried out in shock and began to struggle fiercely, trying to break free from the grasp of the hand.

No matter what he did, he couldn’t move the hand in the slightest.

On the contrary, the hand was clenching tighter and tighter, letting Xiong Hai feel the threat of death.

“It’s… it’s you!”

It was then that Xiong Hai finally saw clearly that the person grasping him was that inconspicuous man on the street during the day.

In an instant, he realized that this man was deliberately disguised, and he was actually the most formidable one.

Once he understood this, Xiong Hai couldn’t help but be terrified.

This man was definitely not simple.

Regrettably, he wouldn’t be able to go back and deliver this crucial message anymore.

Xue An sighed lightly, “Do you know that it’s very rude to disturb someone’s rest late at night?”

Xiong Hai trembled in spirit, “Who exactly are you?”

Xue An smiled faintly, “Do you share the last name Xiong as well?”

“What if I do?”

“What a coincidence, just a few days ago, I killed someone who also bore the name Xiong!”

“You’re that person from Black Iron City!” Xiong Hai yelled at the top of his lungs.

Unfortunately, reduced to a swarm of bugs, even his screams were very faint.

Xue An nodded, his gaze slightly cold, “You came by starry night, were you planning to kill Ah Tu and then devour all his talents?”

At this moment, Xiong Hai was terrified. Upon hearing what Xue An said, he was even unable to respond.

Xue An nodded, “Very well, it seems that’s the case! Ah Tu!”

“My lord!” Ah Tu stepped forward, unsure of why Xue An was calling him.

Meanwhile, Xue An suddenly squeezed the bug in his hand.

“Aaaah!” Xiong Hai screamed, and then the sound abruptly ceased.

Afterward, there was a muffled thud.

The swarm of bugs in the room fell to the ground at the sound, reverting into Xiong Hai’s corpse.

Xue An flung his hand backward with a swift motion.

A streak of white light flashed by, piercing directly into Ah Tu’s forehead.

Ah Tu’s whole body shuddered as he felt his mind suddenly filled with many things.

At that moment, Xue An said indifferently, “Close your eyes and concentrate, absorb all of this.”

Ah Tu hurriedly closed his eyes and concentrated as Xue An had instructed.

After a while, he opened his eyes, shock written all over his face.

“My lord…”

Xue An said, “This man had quite impressive talents. It would have been a pity to kill him, so I have bestowed them on you.”

By now, Xue An had already understood the talents of this world very clearly.

These talents were essentially abilities attached to the spiritual soul of a person.

Therefore, Xue An directly stripped the talents from Xiong Hai’s soul and bestowed them upon Ah Tu.

To all this, Ah Tu, of course, couldn’t understand, but it didn’t stop him from looking at Xue An’s retreating figure with adoration in his eyes.

At this moment, Xue An looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, waved his hand casually, and flames covered them, burning them into nothingness.

“My lord, what should we do? These guys have already brought the fight to our doorstep, should we kill our way back?” Ah Tu asked with a murderous look on his face.

As someone who had been struggling for survival at the bottom of this world since childhood, Ah Tu was never a goodie-two-shoes.

Especially now that the enemy had come knocking, was he supposed to forgive them instead of fighting back?

Upon hearing this, Xue An merely smiled and then shook his head, “No need.”

Xue An had a premonition that at tomorrow’s Water Sacrifice Ceremony, something he had been waiting for would appear.

As for the minor Xiong Family, Xue An truly couldn’t be bothered to take proactive measures against them.

Ah Tu was stunned, “My lord, what do we do now?”

Xue An smiled and patted him gently on the shoulder, “Alright, go and get some sleep. If we want to deal with the Xiong Family, there’s no rush at this moment. Let’s wait for tomorrow’s Water Sacrifice Ceremony!”

Ah Tu was a bit confused, but Xue An’s words were like a sacred decree to him, so he nodded, “Yes!”

Ah Tu returned to his room to sleep.

Xue An glanced at the broken wall and the empty corridor outside, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, and then he too turned and went back to his room.

After a short while, someone peeked around cautiously into the room with the collapsed wall, swallowed hard, and then turned to run away.

Xiong Family.

The Family Head of the Xiong Family, Xiong Xi, felt uneasy that night.

The Xiong Family had faced endless turmoil recently.

First, his youngest son, who had already been commanding the Xiong Gang troops independently, Xiong Lei, died in Black Iron City.

The power of the Xiong Family had taken a great hit because of this.

And tonight, his eldest son, Xiong Hai, had gone out to plunder the talent of a young man.

Although this young man had no foundation in Silver City and his son was accompanied by many bodyguards,

by all accounts, it should have been a foolproof mission.

Yet, Xiong Xi felt an inexplicable sense of dread and decided to sit in the hall drinking tea, waiting.

Finally.

The chief steward of the Xiong Family rushed in, frantic.

Seeing the expression of his chief steward, Xiong Xi’s heart sank, “What’s happened? Has Xiong Hai not returned?”

The steward’s face was one of sorrow, “Family Head, just now, the inn’s waiter ran over with a message, saying…”

“Saying what?”

“The young master… his entire party has been annihilated!”

“What?” Xiong Xi stood up sharply, hardly able to believe his ears.

“Bring him to me!”

Although his heart pounded like a drum, Xiong Xi managed to stay calm at this moment.

Soon.

The inn’s waiter was brought before him.

“What happened? Tell me everything in detail, don’t omit a single word!” commanded Xiong Xi in a stern voice.

“Yes!”

Since that inn was a hub for information, many powerful families placed their spies there.

The waiter from the inn was one of the spies cultivated by the Xiong Family.

Then, the waiter began to recount the details of the incident.

“Family Head, after the young master charged in with his men, I hid at a distance to watch. Initially, it went smoothly, but then, a multitude of blades suddenly appeared in the sky, killing all the bodyguards.”

“But the young master dodged this attack and turned into a swarm of insects, rushing into the room.”

“Did you see what happened next?” Xiong Xi asked with a grave voice.

The waiter shook his head, “I didn’t dare approach, but my talent lies in my hearing, so I heard the young master, in a tone of great surprise, exclaim, ‘It’s actually you!ʼ”

“And then?” Xiong Xi pressed, frowning.

“Then…,” the waiter showed a look of fear.

“Then I heard several screams from the young master from inside the room, finally becoming dead silent.”

Xiong Xi turned ashen, and his form started to wobble.

The steward hurriedly stepped forward, “Family Head!”

Xiong Xi waved him off and then addressed the waiter, “Good, you’ve done well! You may leave now!”

“Yes!”

The waiter left.

Xiong Xi’s face darkened ominously as he slammed down on the table with a fury-filled voice, “This person, he’s provoking our Xiong Family!”
