Chapter 83

An Zeng sat there without getting up, his left hand reaching

out to catch a crossbow arrow that was shooting over. He casually tossed the crossbow arrow to the side, then flipped the table

over and placed it in front of Li Yenian.

“”Who did you offend?””

Anjou asked.

Li Yenian shook his head in fear. He was so scared

that he couldn’t even say a word.

After listening for a while, An Zhan lowered his voice and said, “”There are at least a dozen

people outside, their footsteps are scattered. This shows that they don’t have a tacit understanding with each other, so they

shouldn’t be from the military.””

He reached out and grabbed Li Yenian, throwing him up onto the rafters. Fortunately, he didn’t

react too slowly. He held onto the ceiling beam tightly and didn’t let go.

Anjou stood on the side of the door, his back against

the jamb. After a while, the door was kicked open with a kick. Immediately after, someone rushed in. An Zou reached out and

grabbed the clothes of the first person. Then, he cut the person’s throat with his palm, and the person then fell limply to the

ground. Anjou picked up the crossbow and aimed it at the candle flame. The bolt shot out and put out the candle flame.

Someone

rushed in from the back, cautiously inspecting the room in the dark.

An Zeng stood at the entrance and counted the number. There

were a total of six people who had entered, and there were at least six or seven more who were on guard outside.

To actually

dispatch so many people to kill him in a bridegroom who did not know any better about cultivation and was the host of the Rites

Department, the Department for Purging Officials … this was simply not aimed at killing a person, but at exterminating the

entire clan.

When no one came in from the outside, An Zizheng killed a masked man with one palm strike from behind like a ghost.

Reaching out, he took out the short sabre from around the waist of the fallen person. The sabre flashed in the room, and in a few

moments, the people who entered the room were hacked to the ground one after another.

The people outside hadn’t thought that

there would be an expert in the room, so they panicked. An Zeng picked up a crossbow and looked at it, then fired a few shots

outside. Four or five men in black immediately fell to the ground after being hit by the arrows. All of them were stabbed in the

throat with terrifying accuracy.

“”An expert.””

The people outside murmured, obviously not wanting to alarm the neighbors around.

There were not many people left in the yard, but these people did not seem to have any intention of retreating. The few people

holding the crossbows began to retreat, then suddenly, An Zhe saw a large group of black shadows smashing towards the house.

An

Zhe subconsciously moved his arms in front of his body to block the attack, and quickly retreated. In an instant, he gathered all

the power in his cultivation.

But nothing happened.

When An Zeng felt that something was wrong, a sharp pain came from his back.

An Zeng’s body involuntarily flew forward, smashing the window in front of him into pieces. In the air, several knives were

shining brightly in the moonlight. He grabbed one of them and grabbed it. With the help of the man’s weight and strength, he

firmly landed on the ground. When he landed on the ground, his wrist vibrated and the longsword shattered. An Xuan thrust his

palm forward, and under the force of the impact, the fragments of the blade flew out, killing four or five men in black clothes

in front of him.

The door creaked open and a man came slowly out of the room.

“”You’re not Li Yenian.””

This person’s voice and

body were very strange.

An Zhan examined it carefully for a while before asking, “”Demonic beast?””

The man shook his head.

“”Spirit beast?””

The man shook his head again.

An Zhan took a deep breath. “”So it turns out to be the most difficult magical

beast to deal with.””

The man’s hair was dishevelled, and when he lifted his head to look at An Zhe, An Zhe saw that he was

wearing a metal mask. There weren’t even any nostrils, but there were two holes in his eyes. There were two balls of red light in

the hole. They were weak, but it was very dazzling.

This person wore a wide black robe, but under the black robe, one could

faintly see the metallic moonlight.

Whether it was Demonic Beasts, Essences Beasts or Demonic Beasts, they could only be

cultivated to a human form after reaching the high-grade Purple rank. Therefore, when An Zaiyue asked this question, he was

actually a little uneasy in his heart. An Zhe knew that something that could transform into a human form was absolutely not his

match with his current cultivation level. However, when he saw the metallic armour, he knew what was going on. Demonic beasts

were all kinds of wild beasts that had cultivated to become demonic beasts, while magical beasts possessed all sorts of auras.

Since it was Qi, there was no fixed shape. The reason why this guy was able to take human form was because he wore a set of metal

armor. If the armor broke, it would become a stream of energy.

“”Where is Li Yenian?””

the man asked.

“”Why did you kill Li

Yinian?””

The strange metal man was silent for a moment, then he walked towards An Zaihai and said, “”If we can’t find him, we

can arrest you and interrogate you. We can also find out where Li Yinian went.””

If he used the bronze bell, it would cause

unnecessary trouble. The sound of the bell alerted all the experts in the capital. He did not have the strength to protect this

level of magic equipment, so he could not use it for the time being. Upon thinking of this, An Zhe flicked his wrist and took out

the Red Luan hairpin. If one wasn’t at a certain level of cultivation, they wouldn’t be able to use a purple grade divine

artifact. Therefore, this Red Luan hairpin was a peerless weapon in An Zhe’s hands.

“”You want to resist.””

The strange metal

man’s voice also felt like metal rubbing against metal, making people feel uncomfortable. He moved forward, then raised his arm

to point at Anjou. “”Resist will die.””

After he finished speaking, a gust of black Qi suddenly spurted out from the wide sleeve

of his robe. Wherever the black Qi went, the grass withered, the tree trunk withered, and the corpse on the ground turned into

pus.

An Zhe frowned. This magical beast was originally a type of poisonous gas, but there were many different types of poison

gas, so there was no way to distinguish them. If only Qu Liuxi was by his side, she had a thorough knowledge of poisons.

After

failing to hit the metal monster’s target, it immediately pounced forward. It swung its two hands, and a dozen or so black qi

snaked out like snakes, crawling towards An Xuan at an extremely fast speed in the middle of the air.

An Zeng didn’t dare to come

into contact with the black gas easily. His body was like a cheetah darting through the jungle, avoiding the poisonous snakes

formed by the black gas. He then quickly approached the metal strange person.

The metal strange man snorted coldly. The sleeves

of his robe suddenly puffed up, like a sail that had eaten its fill of wind. Immediately following that, black balls of air shot

out from his sleeves like cannonballs.

His line of sight in the darkness was originally bad. This ball of air was also black and

silent, so avoiding it was extremely difficult.

With a thought from An Zhe, starlight flashed on the bracelet and a round shield

about forty centimeters in diameter appeared in his hand. The round shield was exuding a deep light and there was a pattern on

the surface of the shield. It was the scale of the holy fish.

The Holy Fish Scale Shield charged forward and bombarded the scale

shield with black balls of air, but they were unable to corrode the scale shield.

The strange metal person made a strange sound.

Then, two solidified pythons appeared from his sleeve. An Zaixin’s eyesight was good, and he instantly saw that it was actually

an elongated arm. The metal armor worn by this person was very fine and could be changed at will. Two python-like arms wrapped

around him, while An Zeng swung his scale shield and knocked one of them away, the other quickly wrapped around his waist.

The

arm tightened quickly, and the python coiled itself around the prey, pulling An Zeng toward the strange metal man.

Just as An

Zeng was about to reach the metallic monster, the strange man’s other arm wrapped around him, and a crack appeared on the top.

From within, a black gas spewed out and rushed towards An Zeng’s face.

When the distance between the two of them was less than

one meter, An Xuan waved the Red Luan hairpin in his hand and cut open the armor that was wrapping around him. While the black qi

was being released, An Zeng lowered his body and rushed over to the ground. He used his left hand holding the scale shield to

poke the ground, then flipped his body over and ruthlessly kicked the metal strange man’s chest.

The strange metal man retreated

a few steps. Before he could stabilize his body, An Zhe had already arrived before him once again.

The Red Luan hairpin pierced

out, returning upon contact. The strange metal mannequin withdrew its arms and swept them across. An Zong had already circled

around to its back, and the Red Luan hairpin swiftly poked the back of the strange metal mannequin a few dozen times. The metal

creature roared angrily, turning into a python and coiling around An Zhan.

An Zhan swung the scale shield out. The scale shield

rotated in an arc, then smashed on the face of the metal freak in the air. With a bang, the mask split open and the black gas

began to vent outwards.

An Xuan seized this opportunity to dash over. The Red Luan hairpin continued to stab out, and the

metallic weirdo’s body suffered several blows in succession. By the time the two retreated, the metal monster was enraged to the

extreme.

“”A guy whose cultivation is not even at the spatial realm actually dares to block my way!””

He rushed forward and saw

An Zhe smiling strangely.

“”What cultivation I have is not important. What is important is that I have many good things.””

An Zhe

pushed his palm forward, and a burst of energy exploded on that metal strange person’s body. The strange person’s armor was

shattered with a loud bang. Previously, hundreds of holes had been gouged out by An Zhe’s armor, but now, under his palm, it

could no longer hold on.

When the armor broke, a large mass of black qi emerged from within.

“”This is the Mortal Realm, you

magic beasts shouldn’t have come.””

An Xuan raised his hand and the scale shield flew out and collided with the black mass of

air, directly shattering it. Within the ball of air, a red bead was faintly discernible.

“”Make a dish for the good sir.””

An

Zeng stomped his foot and shot out like a cannonball. In the instant the scale shield knocked away the black Qi, the Red Luan

took out the bead from the black Qi. The bead fell to the ground and rolled back out, constantly spinning to avoid the pursuit.

Just as the pearl was about to roll out of the courtyard, An Zhe’s Red Luan hairpin flew out and stabbed right in front of the

bead. The bead paused for a moment, and then the Blood Curing Pearl on An Zhe’s wrist flashed and was sucked into the bead.

There

are three beads in the hand bracelet. One was a medicinal field, the other was a spatial storage space, and the other was a pearl

with the words’ Fish ‘written on it. The scales of the holy fish were stored within it.

There was a square star point where the

bead was used for storage. After a flash of light, the bead was sucked into the bead.

An Zhan didn’t dare to stay any longer. He

rushed into the room and dragged Li Yinian down from the beam of the roof, then dragged him and ran out of the Li Residence.

Before leaving, An Zhe knocked over two lanterns in the yard and threw them into the woodshed.

“”What are you doing!””

Li Yannian

anxiously shouted.

An Zaiyue pulled him along, saying, “”These people clearly cannot bear to see the light of day. If I burn down

your courtyard, the Fang family will send someone over.”” When that time comes, these dead people will be discovered by the Fang

family or some other yamen. Those who want to kill you won’t dare to act rashly in such a short period of time.

Li Yinian was

stunned for a moment. He had already been dragged into the alley by An Zhe.

An Zhe and Li Yenian purposefully made a few laps

before returning to the Heavenly Gate Sect. This place wasn’t too far from the Li family, at least seven to eight miles away.

After An Zaihai returned, he locked Li Yannian in his room. Under the light of the lamp, he was finally able to see that Li

Yannian was so scared that his face had turned deathly pale.

“”Who did you offend?””

“”So many people were involved to kill

you.””

Li Yinian first shook his head, then nodded his head. His eyes contained boundless fear. “”Is it my turn?””

As he said

these words, his expression became extremely complicated.
