An Tianzuo had already slashed out with all his might with the broken sword in his left hand, almost shaving a piece off Xiao, but he ultimately failed to kill him.
If An Tianzuo still had both his hands, he could smash the bloody Xiao into meat paste with one palm. Unfortunately, An Tianzuo only had one hand left.
Even so, An Tianzuo had no intention of retreating as he stood there like a mountain and looked into Xiaoâs blood-stained eyes.
The blood that spewed out of Xiaoâs body seemed to have a life of its own as it charged towards An Tianzuo. The bloody Xiao was like a blood-colored devil. Its ferocity made one shudder.
An Tianzuo didnât retreat. At the instant Xiao slammed into him, An Tianzuo headbutted Xiaoâs head.
Bam!
The two unreserved Terror powers collided as Xiaoâs head exploded. After his bloody body slammed into An Tianzuo, he was sent retreating. Blood splattered everywhere, no longer able to cling on to Xiaoâs ravaged body.
The machine armor on An Tianzuoâs head shattered as his forehead kept bleeding. However, he ultimately guarded the Asura Realmâs exit and didnât take a step back.
Seeing Xiaoâs corpse fall, An Tianzuoâs expression suddenly changed. He immediately turned to look at the Asura Realmâs exit and saw a drop of blood that had spewed out of Xiaoâs body falling towards the door.
An Tianzuo drew his sword and slashed, but he was still a step too late. The drop of blood landed on the door like a stone thrown into a lake, causing spatial ripples to appear before it vanished.
...
Li Xuan, Lu Bushun, An Jingyu, and company waited beyond the Bridge of Helplessness.
âWhy arenât Overseer and the rest out after so long?â Lu Bushunâs fat body paced around without stopping.
âCan you stop pacing around? My head is spinning from watching you,â Li Xuan said.
âWhat has your dizziness got to do with me? Thatâs because your kidney is weak,â Lu Bushun retorted.
âGet out of the way!â Just as Li Xuan was about to say something, he suddenly heard a loud shout.
Lu Bushun and company immediately recognized An Tianzuoâs voice. All of them stood up warily and looked in the direction of the Bridge of Helplessness.
However, they didnât see anything. There was nothing on the Bridge of Helplessness.
Li Xuan saw An Tianzuo rush out of the Bridge of Helplessness. At the same time, he saw a drop of blood shoot towards Lu Bushun at an unbelievable speed.
Li Xuan didnât have the time to completely turn into his Terror form. All he could do was Terror transform his palm and block Lu Bushunâs forehead.
Bam!
The drop of blood penetrated Li Xuanâs Terror-form palm like a bullet.
Thankfully, with Li Xuan blocking him, he bought Lu Bushun time. The latterâs reaction was fast enough. He did a roll as the drop of blood brushed past his head.
In midair, the drop of blood took Xiaoâs form. Sucking two officers towards him, each of his hands grabbed one by the head. If he were to exert a little more force, their heads would explode.
âAn Tianzuo, take another step and Iâll crush their heads,â Xiao said calmly.
An Tianzuo stopped. He knew that Xiao wasnât joking. A person like him didnât bluff.
âOverseer, donât worry about us.â The two officers struggled with all their might, but they were like chickens. No matter how they struggled, they couldnât escape the butcherâs hands.
âAn Tianzuo, what do you say?â Xiao narrowed his eyes as he looked at An Tianzuo.
âLet them go and you can leave,â An Tianzuo said.
Without a word, Xiao released his hand, but he didnât leave immediately.
The officers surrounded Xiao, but An Tianzuo said indifferently, âLet him go.â
âAs expected of An Tianzuo. I hope I can truly determine the outcome of the battle with you another time,â Xiao said as he reached out and grabbed at the air. A wisp of black gas rushed out from the heads of the two officers he had grabbed and landed in Xiaoâs palm before disappearing.
âSee you again,â Xiao said to An Tianzuo. When he turned around, he glanced at Li Xuan before flying away and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
âOverseer, who was he?â Lu Bushun said in shock.
âAn enemy, try your best to avoid him the next time you encounter him.â An Tianzuo glanced in the direction Xiao had left as though in thought.
An Tianzuo didnât chase after him, knowing that he couldnât catch up no matter how hard he tried.
âLi Xuan, do you know that person?â An Tianzuo finally cast his gaze on Li Xuan.
âHe wore a mask, so I didnât recognize him. However, if I knew such a powerful fellow, I would have an impression of him, but I have none,â Li Xuan said.
âThatâs strange,â An Tianzuo said after some thought.
Li Xuan knew that An Tianzuo implied that the matter was likely related to him, so he asked, âWhatâs strange?â
An Tianzuo looked at Li Xuan and said, âThese people know our An family very well. They should know that our family values Jingyu very much. In that situation, his best choice of hostages should have been Jingyu and you, but he didnât do that. Instead, he chose to distance himself and abducted two officers that even he might not know. This clearly goes against common sense.â
Everyone felt that it made sense when they heard that. In that situation, anyone would have targeted An Jingyu, followed by Li Xuanâwho was physically closest to An Jingyu.
âPerhaps he knows how powerful I am and saw that An Jingyu was too close to me, so he didnât dare attack him?â Li Xuan also agreed with An Tianzuoâs speculation.
âHis goal was very clear. It wasnât you from the beginning, but Lu Bushun. You only used your Terror powers after the target was chosen. Your advancement to the Terror grade happened in Netherworld City, so it was impossible for them to know about that, much less avoid you from the beginning. It still doesnât make sense,â An Tianzuo said with a shake of his head.
âIâm stumped. I really donât know that person,â Li Xuan said as he spread out his hands.
âYes.â An Tianzuo nodded and didnât say anything else as he frowned.
âOverseer, where are Young Master Wen, Adjutant An, and company? Do we need to help them?â Lu Bushun asked.
âThereâs no need. Just wait here for them to return.â An Tianzuo didnât return to the Asura Realm. Firstly, he was afraid that Xiao would return, and secondly, he was confident in Zhou Wen.
...
In the Asura Realm, Zhou Wenâs body emitted a glow like a sun god. He had already fused with the Primordial Human Sovereign and was constantly transforming.
With a thought, Zhou Wen landed on the top of Great Brahmaâs head. When the Asura attacked again, his fist emitted a virile glow as he struck at the Asura.
The Asuraâs attack was completely blocked by Great Brahma. Zhou Wen took the opportunity to strike with his fist, leaving him no room to dodge.
Zhou Wenâs punch struck the chest of the spirit-like Asura body which seemed impervious to any force. A fist-sized hole melted into existence when it was struck by Zhou Wenâs punch.
