Chapter 1821: Chapter 1817: Sword Dance Like a Dragon
The entire banquet hall was eerily quiet.
Li Tulü stood there, seemingly losing all response.
But if you observed closely, you’d notice his eyelids were twitching wildly, and a layer of cold sweat was appearing on his forehead.
It was only then that he suddenly remembered, the jade rabbit demoness had previously called Xue An ’Lord Red Lotus.’
But because so many people in the Multiverse use ’Red Lotus’ as a title, he merely brushed it off without paying attention.
He never thought this white-clothed youth was actually the renowned Red Lotus Immortal Venerable from the past.
No wonder Huyue chose to help him!
It’s ridiculous that he previously called him a lowly member of the Human Clan, now thinking back, the lowly one should be himself!
These thoughts flashed repeatedly in Li Tulü’s mind—regret and fear were aplenty.
But after all, he was a powerful figure managing a clan; he quickly regained composure, took a deep breath, and bowed towards Xue An.
"So it’s Lord Red Lotus Immortal Venerable, please forgive me for my earlier lack of perception and for offending your majesty!"
These words stirred a slight commotion among the White Tiger Clan, many showed signs of astonishment.
Li Tulü’s attitude clearly positioned himself very low.
This filled many young people’s hearts with confusion.
Only elders like Li Gui understood what was happening, remaining silent.
Especially Li Gui.
At this moment, he was no longer as arrogant as before, even his gaze was filled with fear.
Because he had also heard of the name Red Lotus Immortal Venerable; thinking back on his audacity to challenge such a being earlier made chill run down his spine.
Meanwhile.
Upon hearing Li Tulü’s words, Xue An’s gaze flickered slightly, and he calmly said, "Seems like you know me now!"
Li Tulü nodded deeply, saying with a hint of humiliation and unwillingness, "Yes!"
Xue An nodded, "Good. Since that’s the case, then you should resolve it yourself!"
As he said this, Xue An’s tone was very casual as if he was speaking about a trivial matter.
But once these words were out, almost everyone’s expression in the room changed.
Some even grunted with resentment.
As for Li Tulü, after a slight hesitation, he first took a deep look at Xue An before his expression turned cold and he said, "Red Lotus Immortal Venerable, are you joking?"
"Joking?" Xue An shook his head, "No, I’m serious! If you handle it yourself, it saves me the trouble. How about that?"
Li Tulü was so furious he laughed, his face showing a twisted expression.
"Red Lotus Immortal Venerable, don’t think I’m afraid of you just because I’ve been polite. Yes, you were indeed strong enough before, but in your reincarnation, you have just reached the Immortal King, and I... am a Half-step Immortal Emperor!"
At the end of this sentence, an extremely formidable aura emerged from Li Tulü’s body, intimidating the entire room.
Even Li Gui and other White Tiger Clan elders couldn’t help but retreat.
Li Gui shouted excitedly, "This is the true power of our Clan Leader!"
Faced with such a force, Xue An also fell silent.
Li Tulü jeered seeing this, and said, "Xue An, this whole thing is only because of a bunch of demonesses, and you have also killed my blood kin, so it’s even; why don’t we move past this, what do you think?"
As someone as sly as Li Tulü, he didn’t want to get into a fight with someone like Xue An if there was any way to avoid it.
As for Li Xiongling...
Just a mere blood kin, if he’s dead, then so be it!
Furthermore, in Li Tulü’s opinion, this condition was already generous enough.
After all, the whole thing started over those demonesses!
But to his surprise, after hearing this, Xue An merely raised an eyebrow slightly, then said with a half-smile, "So you’re not planning on resolving it yourself?"
Li Tulü gave a slight start, then angrily said, "Xue, don’t be ungrateful, today I..."
Before he could finish, Xue An took a step forward and slashed out with his sword.
Mo Wang’an’s sword trembled lightly, releasing a dazzlingly bright sword light.
The sword light shot straight towards Li Tulü, shutting the rest of his words back down his throat.
Li Tulü gave a slight cold smile and sidestepped, intending to dodge the sword.
But the sword followed him like a shadow, sticking close.
Li Tulü was so terrified that his soul almost departed, but there was no chance to dodge now; helplessly, he had to forcibly channel his demon power to meet the sword head-on.
Bang!
After a loud blast, the sword light shattered layer upon layer of defense on Li Tulü’s body like withered fall leaves.
In the blink of an eye, the sword light breached at least a hundred layers of defense before slowing down, finally shattering with a roar.
Li Tulü grunted, took half a step back, then his face turned ashen, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes.
He truly did not expect that Xue An’s single slash would leave him so helpless.
It seems he indeed underestimated the strength of this former Immortal Venerable, and fear grew in his heart.
But before he could catch his breath, Xue An revealed his white teeth, giving him a chilling smile.
"Able to endure, are you? Then try a few more of my strikes!"
Saying this, Xue An’s sword danced like a dragon, unleashing several more sword lights.
Li Tulü was appalled and while dodging left and right, he screamed furiously, "Everyone at once, today it’s either him or us!"
This shout woke the stunned crowd.
Li Gui was the first to respond, joining the battle with a roar.
Though he dared not face Xue An alone, with the great clan leader blocking in front, Li Gui was still willing to box peacefully.
Not only him, but all the elders shared the same thought.
In their view, this Xue An was busy enough dealing with the clan leader alone; the rest of them could just seize the chance to sneak attack.
But this time, their plan backfired.
Xue An coldly chuckled when seeing these White Tiger Clan members join the fray.
"Alright, then all of you come together!"
After speaking, a shimmering scarlet resembling blood appeared between Xue An’s eyebrows, quickly spreading.
Only then did people see clearly that it was not just light but a vast expanse of blazing flames!
Yet strangely enough, despite the intense fire, there was no sensation of heat felt by the crowd; in contrast, a chill ran deep into their hearts amid the flickering flames.
Huyue lightly sighed seeing this, "I thought I’d still need to help, but it seems it isn’t necessary now!"
As she said this, even Huyue’s eyes betrayed a hint of shock.
"Old Xue’s strength has grown so rapidly?"
One must know that back on Earth, Xue An paid a hefty price to deal with the Abyssal Master, almost getting trapped in the peril of life and death forever.
