Chapter 1926: What Are You Going To Do About It?

The master rank cultivators were all furious when they heard what Zu An said. They exclaimed, “Youngster, you are too arrogant!”

You have successfully trolled Meng Jin for +799 +799 +799…

You have successfully trolled Meng Zhui for +808 +808 +808…

You have successfully trolled…

Who does this guy think he is? Zhao Han?

Just then, Meng Chan quickly warned them, “Uncles, please be careful. That man is extremely fast! Earlier, father ended up dying as soon as they met because of that.”

As soon as she said that, the ground surged up and down like ocean waves. Several cracks opened up right next to Zu An. Immediately after, two giant arms burst out of the ground, grabbing at Zu An’s legs.

A white-haired master from the Meng clan said with a sinister laugh, “Chan’er worries too much. We didn’t reach our current strength purely through age.”

When they first saw the bitter, blood-filled scene, the five of them had immediately raised their vigilance to the greatest extent. They had already discussed what to do among themselves in private. What they had done earlier was nothing more than bait to trick Zu An. However, this brat really was arrogant, so their anger now was real.

“Just go to hell!” another master with hooked brows yelled, having finished gathering his strength.

He took the chance to send his fist at the restrained Zu An. He immediately went all out at the start, not giving Zu An any chance to react and directly using his ultimate skill. A wild burst of wind suddenly swept all around him. All of the flowers, trees, and other plants nearby trembled, and all of their petals and leaves were sucked away, as if they were being drawn into an invisible vortex. A thousand streaks of cool wind gathered, forming a giant green fist out of the leaves and petals.

With the wind element’s power, every single delicate leaf and flower petal became the sharpest of blades. However, that was still a secondary effect. The greatest force was still contained within the massive fist. In an instant, it seemed to suck all of the oxygen around Zu An dry. For those with lower cultivations, even if they didn’t die from suffocation, they would explode to death on the spot due to the sudden change in air pressure.

The fist resembled the divine punishment of an ancient being, full of devastating power. It was so vast that it was nearly impossible to avoid. Meng Chan’s face paled as she saw it. If the attack landed, even though the Meng manor had the support of formations, more than half of it would probably still collapse.

And yet, Zu An didn’t avoid the massive fist descending upon him. Instead, he reached out a finger and tapped forward.

The eyes of those present widened.

Is this youngster courting death?

Compared to that giant fist, even his entire body seemed small and insignificant. His finger seemed like a toothpick that was trying to prick a great dragon!

Even so, no one present was stupid. Since he dared to do such a thing, that meant he definitely had confidence in his strength.

“Old Eighth, be careful!” Meng Jin immediately warned the other master.

However, it was still too late. When the insignificant finger made contact with the terrifying, gigantic fist, what followed wasn't the expected sight of the finger snapping. Rather, the giant fist began to leak energy, rapidly dissipating like a deflated balloon and losing its powerful pressure.

At the same time, a golden beam of energy fired straight out of the single finger. Perhaps because the scattered wind energy blocked his vision, or because the streak of golden light was just too fast, Old Eighth couldn't react in time at all. The golden light pierced right through his brain. He fell to the ground like a broken sack, no longer floating in midair in an awe-inspiring manner.

“Old Eighth!” the others cried out, feeling shocked and furious. They had never expected that this perfectly prepared situation would so quickly result in the death of one of their companions.

Fortunately, the elder named Meng Zhui had already finished gathering his power. He was a water element cultivator. In that time, he had gathered all of the water from the Meng manor’s pool, creating over ten thousand streaks of condensed sword ki around him. He unleashed them with a shout. “Go!”

Fueled by hatred, the power he released was hundred and twenty percent of what he could usually display. The endless swords of water poured down like a torrential rain, leaving the enemy no room for evasion. There was so much sword ki that it was enough to shave off all of Zu An's flesh. Not even his bones would remain!

King Dai had an excited expression.

Those water swords look so badass! Hmph, this kind of array looks much more formidable than my clan’s useless wine sacks and food bags. That bastard is dead for sure!

Meanwhile, Meng Chan stared at the figure in the center, as if she was doing her best to remember his appearance. After all, he would soon be purged by the endless water swords until not even a human figure remained. However, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, because she saw an inconceivable sight. When those ferocious water swords approached Zu An, it was as if an invisible barrier of light appeared around him. Whenever the water swords made contact with the barrier of light, they melted away on the spot.

“How?!” Meng Zhui exclaimed, his eyes wide. The sight really was beyond his comprehension.

Zu An’s expression remained calm as he slowly raised his hands. The water swords seemed to have received another order, as they turned around to aim at Meng Zhui.

“This…” Meng Zhui murmured in horror. In that instant, he could sense that Zu An’s affinity with the water element far exceeded his own, which was why his own connection with the water swords was severed and his control over them was overtaken.

Immediately after, with a gentle wave of Zu An’s hand, all of the flying swords were released. Meng Zhui wasn’t given any chance to react before his body was penetrated in an instant. He exploded into a bloody mist in midair, not even leaving a corpse.

“Old Sixth, completely restrain him!” Meng Jin barked in shock and outrage. It seemed that restraining Zu An's legs was far from enough!

“Yes!” a chubby elder replied, then hurriedly formed a hand seal. Several more pairs of arms grabbed at Zu An’s arms. However, he was feeling really nervous, because he wasn’t sure whether his skill could really restrain this person.

His eyes quickly narrowed as he saw Zu An suddenly raise a leg.

How can this be?!

After all, the power of those earth element arms could hold back over a hundred thousand kilograms in weight, and they had already clamped down on his legs. In theory, it shouldn't have been possible for Zu An to move anymore!

And yet Zu An moved.

Then, with a stomp of his foot, a wave of invisible force spread out. The giant hands disintegrated back into dirt!

The chubby elder hurriedly tried to gather earth element power, but he had already lost track of his target. Someone suddenly appeared at his side, making all his fine hairs stand on end. An earth-colored tortoiseshell appeared around his entire body. The earth element excelled in defense, so as long as he could hold off the enemy for an instant, his companions’ powerful attacks would arrive and he would be saved!

However, he was soon filled with despair. Before Zu An’s fist, the defenses he had been extremely proud of were like wet paper, bursting apart in an instant. A fist smashed into the middle of his back. When he looked down, he saw that there was already a giant hole in his chest. Bloody bubbles gurgled out of his lips. He wanted to say something else, but he couldn't say a single thing. In the end, he fell straight to the ground.

“Despicable bastard!” a grim-faced elder roared. His hands joined together, and an invisible wave of cold spread in all directions with tremendous speed. Even the air in the sky was frozen! The entire courtyard became a silver world, as if they were on the Great Snowy Mountain.

Meng Chan and King Dai both shivered; it was unclear whether that was because of the temperature, or because their hearts felt cold. They couldn't help but move farther away.

The grim-faced elder was also quite happy with the current situation. His power of cold didn’t have tremendous offensive power, but after his companion had released a powerful water element skill, the air was full of water vapor. Thus, the power of his ice technique was multiplied severalfold.

The white frost almost instantly converged around Zu An. However, he raised his brows and remarked, “You're going to play with ice in front of me?”

No one saw how he did it, but a snow phoenix seemed to appear in the grim-faced elder’s view. Immediately after, his entire body began to freeze over. In the blink of an eye, it completely surrounded his body, and even his consciousness was frozen. His still figure plummeted straight down from the air. When it made contact with the ground, it shattered into countless pieces. The chunks of ice still bore traces of red, serving as the only reminder that there had ever been a person there.

As he watched the events unfold, Meng Jin felt as if his eye sockets were going to split apart. In just a few breaths of time, these companions of his had already died one after another. These people were the core and foundation of the Meng clan! Now that they had all been wiped out, the Meng clan was also destined to fall.

When he realized that, he felt even more hatred. He yelled, “Just die!”

He unleashed his forbidden art: Soaring Flames Meteor!

Forbidden arts were things that were rarely seen in the world. In the world of cultivation, it was quite surprising for there to be even a single person out of tens of thousands who knew how to use them. It was only because Meng Jin's status in the Meng clan was extraordinary that he'd gained the opportunity to obtain a forbidden art. It required the user to pay a severe cost. Upon invoking it, even if the user didn’t die, they would be severely injured. Even so, its strong point lay in its tremendous strength. It contained enough power to at least destroy an entire city.

He hadn't actually planned to use the technique before. However, after seeing his companions killed one after another, he immediately changed his mind. He knew his other powerful skills weren’t enough to pose a threat to this person, so he could only bring out his greatest trump card. Even if he went down with the enemy, he would at least have eliminated the greatest enemy of the Meng clan.

This was why he hadn't done anything while his companions were killed. Even so, those individuals’ sacrifices were still worth it, as he had finally completed the preparations for his skill.

The entire sky dimmed. Dark clouds surged, pierced by surges of fiery light, as if something was struggling to come out. The energy contained within quickly locked onto Zu An. When the Soaring Flames Meteor descended, even if this Zu bastard was a grandmaster, he would be blasted into ashes.

In that instant, a voice sighed and said in his ear, “You don’t really think you'll still have a chance to attack, do you?”

Immediately after, a finger pressed against Meng Jin’s forehead. Meng Jin's horrified eyes instantly grew dim, and his body fell to the ground. The terrifying dark clouds lost the support of the skill's user, so they could only scatter. Meanwhile, Meng Jin’s corpse suffered the backlash of the forbidden art. A burst of flame erupted, and his corpse was burned into ashes before it even hit the ground.

Zu An looked at the dissipating dark clouds.

This forbidden art is a bit interesting.

He recalled how in the very first secret dungeon he and Chuyan had gone into, she had also used a forbidden art against Shi Kun… However, after already experiencing so many things, he didn’t think that the forbidden art this Meng Jin had been summoning could even hurt him. Even though he could just face it head-on, though, there was no need to.

When they saw what happened, Meng Chan and King Dai were completely numb. They turned around and ran for the rear courtyard. Meng Chan screamed as she ran, “Great ancestor, please save my husband!”

Just then, both of them felt some pressure against their bodies. Zu An was already standing between them, one hand on each person’s shoulder. He said, “It doesn’t matter who comes; no one will be able to save him today.”

Hm? Why did I suddenly go along with her tempo? Don’t I need to deal with her too?

“How audacious!” A furious roar that seemed to shake the skies suddenly erupted from the depths of the Meng Manor. “This old one will make sure you meet a tragic end if you dare to touch even a single strand of hair on King Dai’s head!”

A terrifying aura spread outward. Soon after, the entire capital began to rock back and forth a bit. One after another, many elders who had secluded themselves in the deepest caverns of their clans opened their eyes.

Why did the Meng clan’s old fellow wake up?

“Oh?” Zu An replied, laughing in disdain. He tore off half of King Dai’s hair in an instant before remarking, “This is probably more than a single hair, I reckon. So? What are you going to do about it?”
