This feeling was as though facing a terrifying giant dragon directly, making the two of them have their hair stand on end.
But at this point, even if they wanted to retreat, it was impossible, so they could only roar in anger and charge at Xue An with all their might.
Just then, Xue An’s eyes flashed, and Liang Dikang and Zu Deming felt a slight pain in their palms.
Before they could react to what was happening!
Their palms burst into a blazing flame.
This flame was almost transparent, with just a hint of crimson at the top.
Yet, this seemingly unimpressive flame crept up their arms like maggots on a bone.
Wherever it passed, skin and bone turned into flying ash, disappearing without a trace.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
The two screamed in extreme terror, paying no attention to Xue An, and started spinning in mid-air.
The reason being nothing other than the sheer pain of it.
Logically, with their cultivation level and strength, just losing an arm shouldn’t have been so destabilizing.
But the critical thing was, they found in horror that the flame was not only burning their arms but also causing damage to their soul.
This was the reason for the excruciating pain they felt.
After all, pain from the soul is not something ordinary people can endure.
At this moment, the flame continued to spread, almost reaching past their shoulders, heading toward their chest.
Their facial features twisted in pain, realizing that a decision had to be made quickly, or their lives would be forfeit here.
Without hesitation, they raised the other arm and chopped down at their shoulder.
Crack!
With a crisp sound, their arms broke off in response, and before they hit the ground, they were burned into nothingness by the flame.
The two of them then stepped back repeatedly with pale faces, as if the flame was the most poisonous thing in the world.
Only after retreating dozens of yards did they feel slightly more at ease.
At this time, Xue An chuckled, "Could you tell me, what’s the rule in Sky Beyond the Skies now? Can you let me know?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Dikang and Zu Deming’s faces turned ashen.
After all, just moments ago, they confidently boasted to teach Xue An a lesson.
Not expecting that in just a blink, they were being slapped in the face, not only unable to fulfill their threat but also losing an arm.
The disparity and humiliation made them both feel deeply ashamed.
But they were truly terrified of Xue An and the flames he conjured from who knows where, so they stayed far away, not daring to make a sound.
In response, Xue An smiled slightly, "It looks like you two have nothing more to say. But I have a few words I’d like to mention...."
As he spoke, Xue An looked up toward a certain direction and said calmly, "Is it fun lurking behind?"
Many didn’t know who Xue An was addressing, but Liang Dikang, Zu Deming, and others changed drastically.
Meanwhile, in the private room of the Red Sleeve Pavilion, Long Zhan’s face turned ashen.
Because no matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t expect that the people he sent to diminish Xue An’s prestige were defeated even before facing him.
Even through a screen, the terrifying fire still shocked Long Zhan.
But the most unacceptable thing was Xue An somehow seemed to know he was being watched and questioning him directly.
Looking at the screen, the white-robed youth with eyes that seemed to pierce him, Long Zhan’s eyes surged with infinite fury.
It was his first time seeing such undisguised disdain in someone else’s gaze.
That feeling was as if he were a thief caught red-handed.
This pushed him into a rage, hitting the table hard, "Damn it, I...."
Simultaneously, on Long Zhan’s side, the screen shattered instantly, and Xue An’s fist directly flew out, aiming at Long Zhan.
Long Zhan could never imagine such a move, though his reaction was quick enough, he sidestepped to avoid the punch.
At the same time, a fierce gleam appeared in his eyes, a short sword materialized in his hand, and he quietly slashed towards Xue An’s arm.
After all, Xue An couldn’t see the situation here right now; surely the sword would leave Xue An’s arm behind.
Just when Long Zhan felt smug.
Xue An’s fist suddenly opened, and then, with a bang, numerous flames exploded.
Exactly!
Just like fireworks bursting, countless tiny sparks scattered.
Closest to them was Long Zhan, who caught a face full of sparks directly.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
This has Long Zhan in an even worse state than Liang Dikang and the others. He covered his face with his hands, blood continuously dripping through his fingers, rolling painfully on the ground.
Everyone else in the room was also terrified.
Because these sparks seemed to have a mind, solely targeting Long Zhan, leaving others unharmed even if touched.
At this moment, Xue An’s arm withdrew from the passage, and the space returned to its original state.
Only now leaving on the ground a Long Zhan continuously roaring and rolling.
This made someone with a clearer mind shout immediately, "Quick! Call the Spirit Doctor!"
The entire Red Sleeve Pavilion instantly bustled, and once the Spirit Doctor arrived and saw Long Zhan’s current state, he was shocked.
"This is beyond what I can handle; bring Young Master Long home quickly. This requires someone with great ability!"
So then someone quickly lifted the sobbing Long Zhan and headed towards the Long Family.
