Chapter 1812 - 1898: Snobs
Su Xuan thought that after this busy period, he should still pay a visit to his in-laws, after all, they are Luo Tianyi’s parents, even if they are a bit snobbish, what can he do about it?
"It’s okay, they just often ask me how you’re doing lately. Actually, I know they’ve acknowledged you now. Do you want to meet them?"
Luo Tianyi looked at Su Xuan, speaking seriously.
"Yeah, I should meet them. I’ll be done with things on my end in a day or two. Once I sort this out, we can go!"
Su Xuan replied earnestly.
"Thank you, hubby. You’re not mad at my parents anymore, right?"
Luo Tianyi gazed at Su Xuan with warmth. Su Xuan smirked mischievously, then slid a hand under Luo Tianyi’s clothes.
"What do you think?"
Luo Tianyi turned bright red. After a moment of intimacy in the office, she happily nestled in Su Xuan’s embrace, feeling very content.
At this moment, Su Xuan suddenly furrowed his brow and said.
"It seems the Shi Family is still not reconciled!"
"What’s wrong?"
Luo Tianyi said with some concern.
"Hehe, you’ll see later!"
Su Xuan picked up the Heroic Sword from the table, got up, and walked out. As he reached the doorway, over a dozen men emerged from the darkness, each looking at Su Xuan, releasing a continuous Killing Aura.
Su Xuan looked at these men and sneered.
"Just a few of you, huh? Do you really think you can kill me?"
A faint smile played at the corners of Su Xuan’s mouth as he looked at the assassins. Over the past few days, Su Xuan had sensed someone following him. He naturally understood the simple purpose of these people—to find out his identity and strength.
The assassins seemed somewhat intelligent, but now it seemed that Su Xuan was quite disappointed. What kind of people were they? After following him for so many days, they didn’t find out anything and were still so careless to come and assassinate him.
"Huh, kid, do you think you’re so awesome? Let me give you a chance, surrender quickly or slash your throat. I really hope we don’t have to chip off an arm or something. We are assassins with standards!"
"Heh, a so-called assassin with standards, let’s see how high your standards really are today!"
As Su Xuan finished speaking, he quickly flashed forward, appearing in front of the man. Then he swiftly extended his hand, delivering a palm strike to the man’s chest. The moment the palm hit, the assassin flew backward, but in the blink of an eye, Su Xuan grabbed him back, stamped him to the ground, and with a twist of his right hand, a stream of water formed into a water arrow in his palm. The instant the water arrow formed, it transformed into an ice pillar and with a "thud", it pierced into his body.
"Ah..."
A scream erupted as the man let out a roar and Su Xuan flew backward, now standing tens of meters away from them.
"Such a quick move!"
The other assassins were shocked, not expecting Su Xuan to be so fast. They hurriedly drew their longswords, preparing for a final strike, when Su Xuan shouted!
"Hold it!"
Su Xuan smiled and said.
"What do you mean? Think you’re scared? Huh, after hurting my brother, do you think being scared will help, kid, today you’re dead!"
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Su Xuan sneered and then pressed his hands together.
"I’m just testing the effect of this Gu Poison!"
Su Xuan began to chant quickly, accompanied by the murmuring. Soon, the man with the ice embedded in his body screamed, clutching his head and letting out hysterical cries, banging his head repeatedly against the wall. In an instant, he began to doubt his life, the pain like a Tightening Spell, an intense agony as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his brain.
"Ah... What have you done to me!"
By now, the man first struck by the Cold Ice Aura was crying out, yanking at his hair and banging his head on the ground. The pain made him want to slash his throat at once.
Su Xuan stopped, and when he no longer chanted, the pain disappeared completely, leaving him astounded. How was this possible, or what exactly was going on? He couldn’t fathom it.
"Seems this Tightening Spell is quite effective, huh, Big Fool, how does it feel?"
Su Xuan grinned mischievously. When he finished speaking, he chanted again like a Tightening Spell. Indeed, as he chanted, the intense pain returned, making him wish for death over life, ripping out his hair.
"Ah, who exactly are you? What kind of Demon Art is this!"
At that moment, the man was truly longing for death, never imagining that Su Xuan was like Monk Tang, while he was like Sun Monkey. The moment Su Xuan chanted, he was longing for death, a true Demon Art.
"Hahaha, no wonder the Tightening Spell is so handy!"
Su Xuan smiled. Seeing his reaction, others turned pale, wondering what kind of etheric artistry Su Xuan had to make a person so tormented.
In fact, what Su Xuan cast wasn’t any Demon Art, but Gu Technique.
This was given to Su Xuan by Xuan. As the Saintess of the Gu Poison family, the Gu Poison she gave was naturally effective. Su Xuan only needed to use Dark Strength to embed the Gu Poison into the opponent’s body, and the poison’s power would infiltrate them, a potent force.
When Xuan taught Su Xuan the spell to summon the Gu Poison, he hadn’t expected it to be so effective. Even Su Xuan didn’t anticipate it.
"Big Fool, do you want me to let you go!"
"What are you going to do?"
The man with the Gu Poison wished he could die, choosing not to live because the pain was truly worse than death.
