Chapter 2416 - 2417: Thousands Flee Before the Lady in Red
Chapter 2416: Chapter 2417: Thousands Flee Before the Lady in Red
Xue An smiled and shook his head, "Some of it is, but more so from my experiences!"
Experiences?
What could such a young man have experienced?
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady thought amusingly.
Although Xue An had lived for more than three thousand years, in her eyes, who had experienced tens of thousands of years, he was still just a child.
With matters concluded, everyone naturally prepared to leave.
But at this moment, Xue An suddenly frowned slightly, then looked up at the sky.
"It’s going to rain!"
Indeed.
At that moment, the once clear sky suddenly became overcast with clouds.
These clouds appeared very strangely; previously, there wasn’t a breeze, as if someone had abruptly pulled a gray curtain over the sky, and suddenly, it was dark all around.
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady was also taken aback.
"This rain is truly strange!"
One must know that with the aura of all the powerful entities gathered here, there shouldn’t have been any wind or rain at all.
So this sudden cloud cover seemed very eerie.
Xue An’s expression gradually became serious, and his gaze quickly calmed down as he slowly said, "It’s not strange because someone has arrived!"
As he finished speaking.
The sky poured down heavy rain.
Yet this rain was also strange; due to the lack of wind, the raindrops fell vertically, creating straight paths and covering the entire world with a dense curtain of rain.
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady’s expression quickly turned grave, as powerful as she was, she had already sensed an indescribable aura approaching.
"What’s going on? Who’s coming?"
Xue An took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly bright like stars.
"Sword Intent enshrouds the heavens and condenses into reality. To reach this level, it must be the Shen Family!"
The Shen Family!
Upon hearing this name, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady’s expression became instantly more solemn.
"Their revenge has come so swiftly?" she murmured softly.
In fact, after Shen Gaoge was defeated and fled, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady knew this matter was far from over, but she hadn’t expected the Shen Family’s people to arrive so quickly.
Just then, a commotion erupted in the distant crowd.
One must understand that those who followed the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady here were all experts, yet at this moment, these masters all wore panicked expressions, scrambling to dodge to the sides.
In an instant, the crowd that had occupied most of the sky split into a straight passage.
And at the end of this passage, in the midst of the rain and fog, a woman with an oil-paper umbrella slowly walked out.
This was an exceptionally exquisite oil-paper umbrella, under which the woman wore red, her wrists pale as snow, and her eyes reminiscent of a cat’s.
In truth, such a scene shouldn’t have appeared here, but in an alley in Jiangnan during the spring rain.
Yet, when this woman appeared, the entire scene fell into silence in an instant.
Silent except for the soft rain and the sound of people retreating in fear.
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady suddenly let out a light sigh.
"Even a thousand troops would avoid her red garments. The Shen Family actually sent her. Today’s matter will be difficult to resolve!"
As if hearing the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady’s words, the woman abruptly stopped, then slowly lifted her gaze to look in that direction.
This was a delicately beautiful woman, with lips as red as blood and skin as white as porcelain, especially her eyes, which resembled a Persian cat lazily napping in the afternoon, exuding a trace of indolence.
Especially when she smiled, she appeared so endearingly that people couldn’t help but want to pat her head.
Yet none of the people present dared to harbor such thoughts.
Because that would be sheer madness; even a reckless madman wouldn’t dare to do so.
If given a choice, these people would rather flee as far away as possible from this woman.
All because of her identity.
The Shen Family, Shen Hongyi!
The very Shen Hongyi that even a thousand troops would avoid!
This is a name that would strike fear into the hearts of ordinary cultivators.
There are rumors that those who have seen this Shen Hongyi rarely survive.
With her oil-paper umbrella, she seemed like a reaper walking the earth, collecting countless souls wherever she went.
There were forces who didn’t believe this rumor, but their corpses are long gone now.
No one expected to encounter such a slaughter deity level figure here today.
How could they not be terrified?
At this moment, Shen Hongyi’s gaze, after sweeping around, rested with interest on Xue An.
"Hello! My name is Shen Hongyi. May I ask, are you Xue An?"
Her tone was cold and slightly naive, like a young girl uninvolved in the world, asking out of curiosity.
Xue An nodded, "Yes, I am!"
Shen Hongyi smiled.
When she smiled, her eyes, reminiscent of a Persian cat’s, exuded an enchanting allure.
"Very good, since you severely injured my good-for-nothing brother, I’ll kill you now, so please... do not be angry!"
As she finished speaking.
The pouring rain suddenly paused, then shot toward Xue An.
Each raindrop instantly transformed into an unstoppable Sword Qi, piercing through space, arriving in front of Xue An.
This strike came so swiftly that before many could even react, the rain had already reached Xue An.
Xue An snorted coldly, standing still, as a flicker of Sword Light flashed across his eyes.
In an instant, countless strands of pure white Sword Light emerged around him, rushing to meet the raining attack.
Boom!
The Sword Light collided with the raindrops, instantly stirring countless ripples.
Those nearby felt as if their faces were being cut, and retreated in shock and horror.
Even the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady was no exception.
Though she wasn’t harmed by the residual Sword Qi, the terrifying Sword Intent made her feel slightly breathless.
The countless exploding Sword Qi formed a massive vortex, with Xue An standing quietly inside, unmoving.
Because he knew, this strike was merely the beginning, the true killing blow was yet to come.
Sure enough.
Just as the Sword Qi clash roared all around, a slender finger pierced through the ripples, lightly pointing at Xue An.
Though it was just a seemingly boneless finger, with that casual point, the rain curtain enveloping the heavens seemed to be drawn by an invisible hand, rushing toward Xue An.
Furthermore, these raindrops gathered and condensed as they approached, forming a massive dragon that opened its bloody mouth and ferociously snapped at him.
"Sword Qi like a dragon, huh?" Xue An slightly raised an eyebrow, "A good trick, but it’s still not enough to kill me!"
Saying so, Xue An took a step forward.
Thump!
A muffled sound, shaking heaven and earth!
Then the dragon formed from Sword Qi instantly disintegrated, reverting to a downpour.
Yet at this moment, the woman let out a soft laugh, "What about this next sword?"
