Chapter 2884: Chapter 2885: Words Become Law?

As he spoke to this point, Jia Zijie’s face flushed with feverish excitement.

Xue An frowned slightly.

Because he saw a kind of indescribable madness in Jia Zijie.

This expression he had only seen on the faces of paranoiacs.

As expected.

Before Xue An could even ask, Jia Zijie had already started rambling on.

"The power of that thing is truly inconceivable, an existence no one can rival! Ridiculous that this Hundred Benevolence Store uses such might merely for hunting—holding a golden bowl to beg for food, laughable to the extreme!"

"Don’t you agree?"

Xue An smiled. "Seems that way."

"Not ’seems’—it is!" As he spoke, Jia Zijie’s tone grew more and more deranged.

With his words, the Spiritual Power leaking from him disturbed the entire Small World, making it restless.

The Elves on the square stirred uneasily, many of them showing fear on their faces.

Because from Jia Zijie they felt an indescribable, terrifying might.

Only Xue An remained cold and calm. "Then do you think this power truly belongs to you?"

This sentence struck straight at Jia Zijie’s heart; his reaction was downright violent. "Why wouldn’t it belong to me?"

"Why would it belong to you?"

"I am the master of this power. Only I can wield it; no one else can control it!"

By the end, the Spiritual Energy surging around Jia Zijie was like a raging stormy sea.

Not only that, he stepped forward and pointed a single finger at Xue An.

"Annihilation!"

With that one word, a terrifying pressure descended directly onto Xue An’s head, trying to erase him completely.

This power was not Spiritual Energy; it didn’t even belong to any force within worldly understanding.

Xue An’s heart tightened. "Word becomes law?"

"Hahahahaha, looks like you’re not completely ignorant after all! That’s right, this is Word Becomes Law. Just lie down and die!" Jia Zijie laughed wildly, already treating Xue An as a dead man.

This wasn’t surprising. Ever since Jia Zijie had grasped this power, no one had ever escaped it.

That was why he was so deeply obsessed, unable to extricate himself.

But just as he was feeling smug and triumphant, Xue An suddenly gave a cold laugh, completely unaffected by this Word Becomes Law.

"It really is quite powerful. Unfortunately, it’s useless against me."

With those words, Xue An shot up like an arrow loosed from the string, charging straight toward Jia Zijie hanging in the sky.

Jia Zijie, though startled, did not panic. His wrist flipped, and a shard of an Ancient Mirror appeared in his palm.

It was a fragment of The Celestial Mirror.

"At my command—Annihilation of all invading enemies!"

This was different from the single-word annihilation just now; this was already a far more formal invocation.

So the moment Jia Zijie’s voice fell, a terrifying Spiritual Energy pressure surged toward Xue An like a rolling tide.

Wherever it passed, even space itself seemed flattened, the spectacle truly astounding.

Vila’s eyelids twitched violently as she watched.

In fact, not just her—every Elf who knew the inside story was focusing intently on the battle.

Everyone knew that this white-robed youth carried the hope of the entire Elf Race.

If he were to lose, then the whole Elf Race would fall into utter ruin.

Yet even these Elves had not expected that faced with such overwhelming pressure, Xue An’s response would be so simple.

He didn’t even slow his pace, directly blasting through the layers of pressure and appearing in front of Jia Zijie.

Jia Zijie had never imagined Xue An could be so domineering, so when Xue An appeared before him, he couldn’t help but gape and roar hoarsely,

"How is that possible?"

Xue An gave a cold smile. "Why would it be impossible?"

As he spoke, Xue An revealed the fragment of The Celestial Mirror in his own possession.

The moment this shard appeared, it immediately exerted a powerful pull on the fragment in Jia Zijie’s hand.

After all, with several rounds of fusion, the shard under Xue An’s control was much larger.

So even though the fragment in Jia Zijie’s hand struggled desperately, it still couldn’t escape the fate of being devoured.

A flash of white light—and the shard in Jia Zijie’s hand vanished, while the fragment of The Celestial Mirror in Xue An’s hand grew slightly larger.

Jia Zijie stared, dumbfounded.

One had to know that as the number two figure of the Hundred Benevolence Store, his influence even exceeded that of the front-desk Store Manager, Han Bao.

But if one traced it to the source, the reason he wielded such influence was entirely because of his control over that fragment of The Celestial Mirror.

That shard had been obtained by the Hundred Benevolence Store by sheer chance, and at first it drew no real attention.

Only later, again by chance, did the people of the Hundred Benevolence Store discover that the fragment possessed all sorts of marvelous uses.

But in the beginning, they only utilized a small portion of its power.

It wasn’t until it fell into Jia Zijie’s hands that its potential was fully exploited.

Thus Jia Zijie became a pivotal figure in the Hundred Benevolence Store.

This had been the very source of his confidence before.

Yet he had never imagined that when facing Xue An, all of this would turn into bubbles and vanish.

"You... you..." Jia Zijie stammered for half a day, unable to form a complete sentence.

"You what? Just obediently go die!"

With that, Xue An spat out a single cold word.

"Kill!"

After fusing the shard from just now, the fragment of The Celestial Mirror in Xue An’s hand had already grown to nearly half its full size; its complementary powers made his Word Becomes Law more than twice as strong.

Thus the moment Xue An uttered that word "Kill," Jia Zijie didn’t even have time to grunt before his body was cleaved apart, head and body separated.

Not only that, all the skin and blood on his body were stripped away simultaneously, leaving only a pale, gleaming skeleton—dead beyond any doubt.

The entire place fell into deathly silence.

No one had expected that the swaggering Jia Zijie would simply die like this.

But only a moment later, the Elves on the square erupted into cheers.

Because Jia Zijie’s death meant that the Hundred Benevolence Store’s hunting squad had been completely wiped out.

For the Elf Race, who bore a blood feud with that hunting squad, this was practically the best news imaginable.

Xue An, however, showed little joy.

After all, even without relying on The Celestial Mirror fragment, he could have killed Jia Zijie and the others.

At this moment he cared about only one thing: whether this shard of The Celestial Mirror was the same one he had sensed earlier.

And indeed.

After carefully attuning himself to it, Xue An finally confirmed his earlier suspicion.

The Hundred Benevolence Store had clearly obtained this fragment of The Celestial Mirror by accident, and thus had not uncovered the secret hidden within.

For that reason, the shard had been neglected at first, to the point of ending up in the hands of trash like Zuo Shi.

Only when Jia Zijie sensed something unusual about it and began to exploit it did the fragment’s power truly come into play.

In truth, Xue An was entirely benefiting from the work done on these earlier fragments of The Celestial Mirror.
