Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 968: Chapter 968: Ah San’s Threat

Xiao Xiao’s anger did not diminish in the slightest, instead, it burned even more fiercely because of the opponent’s obstruction.

She stared coldly at the man in black before her, with a clear hint of anger in her voice: ”Are you also one of Xue Wei’s people? I advise you all to stop immediately, or face the consequences!”

The man in black remained unmoved, continuing to look at her coldly, with no trace of emotion in his eyes.

It seemed like Xiao Xiao’s anger was meaningless to him.

He slowly raised his hand, signaling Xiao Xiao to calm down: ”Xiao Xiao, it seems you’ve recognized us too. Today, Ye Qingchen won’t get away.”

Xiao Xiao was utterly enraged by his attitude, the anger in her eyes almost erupting. The sword in her hand glinted with a cold light, ready to be drawn at any moment.

She gritted her teeth and said, ”Ha, Xue Wei again? You dare lay a hand on my young master! Let’s see who can stop me today!”

With that, Xiao Xiao’s True Qi surged, her figure darting forward like lightning, her sword immediately drawn and thrust towards the man in black.

However, the man in black clearly anticipated this; he moved swiftly, dodging Xiao Xiao’s attack and countered with a palm strike towards her shoulder.

Xiao Xiao’s sword edge threatened the man in black but he, like a phantom, gracefully evaded her offensive.

Just as she was about to launch another attack, the man in black suddenly halted, slowly raised his hand, and removed the black mask from his face.

As the mask came off, a familiar face appeared in front of Xiao Xiao.

A stern and resolute countenance, with sword-like brows and star-like eyes, exuding a hint of toughness and aloofness.

Xiao Xiao was suddenly stunned, a trace of astonishment flashing through her eyes: ”Ah San? How could it be you!”

This Ah San, wasn’t he the one with a severed arm?

When did he get his arm back?

Ah San’s face showed no expression, his cold gaze fixed on Xiao Xiao, exuding a chilling sense of menace.

His voice was deep and powerful, carrying an undeniable authority: ”Xiao Xiao, I have some words for you. You better not move rashly, don’t let that guy notice anything unusual.”

Xiao Xiao’s brows furrowed tightly, her doubts growing deeper. She clutched the sword in her hand, her eyes full of vigilance and anger: ”Ah San, what on earth are you up to?”

Yesterday, just after seeing Xue Wei, today this Ah San dares to court death again!

Ah San let out a cold snort, his gaze piercing Xiao Xiao like a sharp sword: ”My master sought you out yesterday, didn’t he?”

Xiao Xiao was infuriated by Ah San’s attitude, but she also understood that Ah San wasn’t an ordinary person, and his appearance was no coincidence.

Suppressing the flames of anger in her heart, she coldly said: ”He did, so what! Now what are you doing here, you better give me a reasonable explanation, or don’t blame me for being unkind.”

Ah San’s eyes grew slightly heavier as he stepped forward, speaking in a low voice: ”It’s, of course, for my master’s affairs.”

Xiao Xiao took a deep breath, forcibly restraining her impatience, coldly asking: ”What do you want to say, hurry up and spit it out!”

Ah San’s gaze became even colder, his voice low and authoritative, with a hint of an undeniable threat: ”Xiao Xiao, regarding the task my master asked you to deliver, you better not mess it up. Otherwise, you’ll regret it.”

These words pierced Xiao Xiao’s heart like a sharp dagger.

Her face changed drastically, and her anger ignited once more, eyes filled with boundless rage.

Her hand gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, veins bulging on the back of her hand, as if ready to explode at any moment.

”Your master already sought me out, and you’re still here threatening me!” Xiao Xiao was furious beyond restraint, her voice brimming with anger and disdain.

She glared at Ah San, her eyes ablaze with flames, ”You people are truly outrageous! I kindly help you with your tasks, yet you press me so relentlessly!”

Ah San’s gaze remained cold and unfeeling, undeterred by Xiao Xiao’s anger, he spoke with even more determination: ”Xiao Xiao, this is not something you can decide. Our only aim is to ensure the task is complete, and anyone who obstructs the mission will face consequences.”

Xiao Xiao trembled all over with anger, she fought back the fury within, coldly stating: ”Ah San, you’d better remember, I am not someone you can just threaten casually. If you dare to harm my young master, I won’t let it slide!”

Ah San’s face retained its cool indifference, shaking his head lightly: ”Xiao Xiao, I advise you to wake up. You should understand what you should and shouldn’t do. Right now, it’s not up to you.”

Xiao Xiao’s anger erupted instantly, she could no longer contain the rage within, and in the next second, she gripped her longsword, charging straight at Ah San.

The sword’s light flickered, like a silver lightning, cutting towards Ah San’s face with an aggressive momentum.

Ah San’s eyes flickered with a cold light, his body retreating like a ghost, evading Xiao Xiao’s assault.

Quickly, he swung back, a short sword appearing in his hand, its tip aimed at Xiao Xiao, the blade shimmering with a faint cold light.

Xiao Xiao showed no mercy, her swordsmanship swift and fierce, slicing through the air with each strike.

Her sword moves were unpredictable, each carrying the force of a Thunderclap, seeming to corner Ah San without reprieve.

Her eyes burned with anger, with only one thought in mind: defeat Ah San, protect Ye Qingchen.

Ah San was no mere ordinary man, his agile movements like a swimming dragon, deftly dodging Xiao Xiao’s deadly strikes every time.

His short sword followed closely, clashing with Xiao Xiao’s longsword, producing crisp metallic clangs.

Each clash scattered sparks, amidst intertwining sword lights, the battle grew even more intense.

Xiao Xiao slashed downward diagonally, Ah San swiftly sidestepped, blocking with the short sword in a reverse grip, their blades colliding with a piercing sound.

Xiao Xiao leveraged the force to rise, her body spinning in the air, the longsword spiraling like a whirlwind at Ah San once more.

Ah San remained calm, drawing an arc with the short sword, precisely parrying Xiao Xiao’s onslaught.

Both moved with fierce techniques, the sword lights raged like a storm, every strike laden with endless kill intent.

Xiao Xiao’s swordsmanship was ferocious and fierce, her offensive as relentless as a storm; while Ah San was agile, with unpredictable moves, both attacking and defending, locked in a stalemate.

Xiao Xiao boiled with rage, her swordsmanship growing increasingly fierce, each stroke brisker than the last, seemingly determined to topple Ah San at any cost.

Every strike was infused with immense resolve and strength, flashing amidst sword light, the ambient air charged with a killing aura.

Though Ah San was on the defensive, his movements remained unperturbed, the short sword nimbly maneuvering in his hand, accurately deflecting Xiao Xiao’s attacks each time.

His gaze was calm like water, seemingly confident, handling with ease.

The battle escalated, Xiao Xiao’s offensive pouring like a tidal wave, while Ah San was as solid as a rock, their confrontation like that of a fierce storm against a steadfast reef; the interwoven sword lights filled with deadly energy, while the surrounding trees seemed to tremble.
