Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1378: Chapter 1375: I Want to Make a Deal with Everyone Present! (Second Update)

As soon as she saw a Human Clan boy, Yuan Niang was initially stunned, but her eyes quickly filled with disdain.

To the Ghost Race members like her, who had once experienced glorious times, they naturally looked down on such humans who made deals with malevolent ghosts.

The Green-Robed Tree King scrutinized Xue An for a few moments and then said coldly, ”Very well, but what kind of price can you offer?”

”A price...?” Xue An smiled. ”How about the lives of everyone present?”

What?

As soon as these words fell, the entire room fell silent before erupting into uproar.

Yuan Niang, who had already shifted her gaze elsewhere, shuddered violently upon hearing this and looked at Xue An in shock.

What was he planning to do?

Had she misjudged him earlier? Was he not a disgraceful human colluding with malevolent ghosts?

But weren’t his words far too audacious?

It seemed he had just offended every ghost present!

As expected!

The ghosts around them were stirred into a rage.

”Where did this Human Clan weakling come from, daring to utter such blasphemous words?”

”I think he’s itching to die!”

”Heh, and that Human woman behind him looks quite delightful. Don’t any of you dare compete with me for her later!”

Amid these sneering remarks, the Green-Robed Tree King fixed his vicious gaze on Xue An and said darkly, ”Boy, do you even know the weight of your words?”

Xue An nodded lightly, a faint smile playing at his lips. ”Of course I do.”

”And yet you dare oppose us?” the Green-Robed Tree King roared.

Xue An paid no heed to his outburst. Instead, he turned to Yuan Niang with a faint smile, ”I hope you don’t mind my asking—aside from Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen, do you know anyone else? Like Ying Ning?”

Yuan Niang froze as if struck by lightning and exclaimed, ”You know Sister Ying?”

A strange glint flickered in Xue An’s eyes as he murmured to himself, ”This is getting interesting.”

Then he flashed a small smile at Yuan Niang. ”Of course I know her, though she probably doesn’t know me.”

After leaving Yuan Niang visibly puzzled with his cryptic words, Xue An swept his gaze across the enraged Green-Robed Tree King and all the gathered ghosts. He leisurely asked, ”Now then, do you agree to the price I’ve named?”

”Courting death!” A group of particularly furious ghosts charged straight at Xue An with murderous intent.

To them, a mere human was utterly inconsequential.

But in the very next moment, they paid dearly for their arrogance.

As they approached Xue An, he didn’t so much as blink in their direction. He merely glanced at them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With a series of deafening blasts, the ghosts exploded into pieces, dying violent and instant deaths.

Hiss!

The entire room went silent as the gathered ghosts collectively gasped in shock.

Even the Green-Robed Tree King’s face turned grave in an instant.

He realized with mounting unease that he couldn’t see through this young man before him.

That earth-shattering move just now had rattled him to the core.

Yuan Niang was no less stunned. Before coming here, she had resolved to exchange herself for Xiao Qian’s freedom, reuniting Xiao Qian with her husband. As for herself, she had planned to seize the opportunity to self-destruct her soul, taking these malevolent ghosts down with her.

After all, she had endured these days long enough and thought it better to gamble on one spectacular act of defiance.

But she hadn’t expected the sudden arrival of this enigmatic Human Clan boy.

At that moment, the Green-Robed Tree King’s expression shifted several times before he finally calmed himself and said in a low voice, ”Friend, isn’t it the Ancient Mirror you’re after? Take it—it’s yours now!”

As he spoke, a glowing orb carried the Fang Ancient Mirror to Xue An’s side.

Xue An casually caught it, weighed it in his hand for a moment, then tossed it over to Wen Muling behind him. Smiling faintly, he looked directly at the Green-Robed Tree King.

Under Xue An’s gaze, the Green-Robed Tree King felt a chill crawl up his spine. Unable to bear the discomfort, he said coldly, ”Friend, didn’t you want the Ancient Mirror? Now that I’ve given it to you, if there’s nothing else, would you kindly leave?”

Ghosts like him—who had clawed their way to some measure of infamy—knew very well whom they could provoke and whom they couldn’t afford to cross.

Though he couldn’t discern Xue An’s origins, his lack of understanding only amplified his unease.

Rather than escalate matters, he opted to swallow his pride and let this matter slide, even if it meant taking a loss.

After all, the Ancient Mirror had come easily enough into his possession. It wasn’t worth a full-blown conflict over such an object.

But from the look in the young Human’s eyes, it seemed he wasn’t satisfied.

Just as unease bubbled up in the Green-Robed Tree King’s heart...

Xue An spoke slowly, ”I’ll take the item, of course. But as I said, I’m a reasonable man. The price I’ve named—you’ll accept it, whether you want to or not.”

All the ghosts’ eyes widened instantly.

What did he mean?

The item was handed over. What more could he want?

The Green-Robed Tree King’s face twisted with fury. But beneath his indignation, rationality kept him calm as he said coldly, ”Friend, do you intend to annihilate us utterly?”

Xue An suddenly clapped his hands and exclaimed, his face full of admiration, ”Yes, yes, that’s exactly it! I’ve been pondering how to put it into words, and you’ve nailed it. Thank you for pointing it out!”

Boom!

The Ghost Race members erupted with rage.

Though Xue An’s earlier display of power had left them shaken, his words left them with no room for further retreat.

Meeting each other’s gaze, the ghosts charged at Xue An in unison.

The Green-Robed Tree King laughed grimly. ”What a fool! Heaven grants you a path, yet you refuse to take it. Hell—”

His words were cut short because, in that instant, all the charging ghosts stopped abruptly, their forms shuddering once before silently breaking apart into fragments.

Xue An emerged slowly from the dissipating black mist. He glanced at the Green-Robed Tree King, whose face now painted a portrait of terror, and smiled faintly. ”Were you going to say Hell has no doors, yet you came seeking your own doom?”

The Green-Robed Tree King let out a startled scream and grabbed Yuan Niang, retreating without hesitation.

If I can make it back to my true form, let’s see what he can possibly do to me!

The Green-Robed Tree King’s plan was simple and calculated.

But alas, before he could reach the ancient tree, Xue An was already there.

Xue An lifted his head to study the knotted, serpent-like trunk of the monstrous tree and said quietly, ”I don’t like this tree. I really don’t.”

And with that, Xue An suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbing the trunk. A flash of light gleamed in his eyes as he shouted, ”Rise!”

Boom!

A deafening crash reverberated as the ground trembled violently beneath their feet.

Before their eyes, the monstrous tree was wrenched from the earth under the Green-Robed Tree King’s horrified gaze.

The tree emanated dense black fog, accompanied by waves of tortured wails and moans as its true form struggled desperately to save itself.

No matter how it fought, it remained powerless to break free from Xue An’s grasp.

Xue An rose slowly into the air as the ground beneath revealed a massive pit where the roots had been. The tree’s twisted roots writhed like serpents, flailing aimlessly in a futile attempt to stop him.

But no matter how formidable the roots were, they couldn’t even graze the hem of Xue An’s robe. Instead, they burst into fine powder upon contact with the air.

Amid this spectacle of utter dominance, the tree continued to rise higher.

At last!

With a final, earth-shattering blast, the monstrous tree was completely uprooted and torn from the ground.
