Chapter 288: Chapter 288: The Might of a Single Sword, Unparalleled in the World!

M Country Intelligence Agency.

“Boss, it’s an urgent, encrypted file from the City of Sin. Would you like to take a look?” an agent asked.

The head of intelligence, Quixy, was leisurely drinking coffee and chuckled in response, “The City of Sin? What kind of file could come from there? A murder case?”

Quixy’s words triggered an outburst of laughter among many people.

The City of Sin had become a lawless land within M Country; no one cared if someone died there.

Quixy took the file, sipped his coffee, and began to read.

Pfft!

He had only read the beginning when he sprayed out all the coffee in his mouth.

“Boss, what’s wrong?” someone asked in surprise.

Quixy, not bothering to wipe the coffee off himself, muttered, “It’s him! He’s even more formidable than I imagined! No, this must be reported to the agency director immediately!”

Saying this, he didn’t care about anything else and ran upstairs.

Upon reaching the door, he didn’t bother with politeness and barged in.

“Esteemed Director, you…”

Quixy was stunned.

Because at this moment, in this vast office, stars were shining brightly.

And his superior, that elegant old lady, was now looking at the screen with a horrified face.

The screen showed the whole City of Sin enveloped in Sword Qi.

When the Sword Qi fell like rain, chopping countless villains into tiny pieces, everyone in the office gasped in shock.

Once the scene on the screen ended, the woman known as Madam M asked frantically,

“General, against this man, do we have any good methods to counter him?”

The general of the M Country’s army had an extremely grave look, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head.

“His abilities are almost unsolvable! We have no means to deal with him immediately, unless… we resort to tactical nuclear weapons!”

The general’s words left the room in silence.

“Keep a close watch on him. And remember, do not provoke him! At least there’s some good news, our Eastern Immortal does have some boundaries, and those he killed are all unforgivable scoundrels,” Madam M said with a bitter smile.

Similar scenes were unfolding in various countries.

Countless people were calculating what could be done to subdue Xue An.

But the results of these calculations invariably showed that without using top-tier weapons, Xue An’s abilities were nearly unsolvable.

Many countries’ intelligence personnel upgraded Xue An’s threat level to the highest and then began frantically blocking the news to prevent panic from spreading after the news leaked.

As the outside world was thrown into chaos over this incident,

Xue An quietly stayed in front of the mine for three days.

During these three days, no one dared to step within two kilometers of the abandoned mining area.

Because Xue An’s earth-shattering sword had instilled too much fear.

It directly reduced the population of the City of Sin by half!

The Bell Family, along with their iconic black tower, disappeared as well.

In the face of such a world-shocking method, who wouldn’t be terrified?

At this moment.

Xue An finally opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing across his face.

“It’s matured!”

The Spiritual Energy of the entire mining area surged again, and the ground and walls were covered in blooming flowers, delicate and dripping.

Xue An stood up and entered the mine shaft.

Because of the Spiritual Energy, An Yan and her daughters didn’t even need to eat!

But in order not to let the two girls and An Yan get bored, Xue An had someone bring all sorts of snacks and toys, including a brand-new laptop.

So, during these three days, An Yan led the two girls to leisurely play games and eat snacks within the mine.

When Xue An returned inside, he first quietly stood behind An Yan.

I must say, the environment in this mine shaft is just perfect for horror games.

For instance, right now, An Yan is playing a survival horror game with her eyes closed, muttering to herself.

Xue An gently placed his hand on her shoulder.

An Yan screamed out loud and jumped up from her seat.

When she turned around and saw it was Xue An, she patted her chest, “You scared me to death! Scared me to death!”

Xue An laughed, “How does it feel?”

“The game is pretty fun!”

Xue An was somewhat speechless, “I was asking about your cultivation progress over the past three days.”

An Yan thought for a moment, furrowing her brows, “How to describe it! Seems like there has been some progress!”

Suddenly, her brow smoothed out, and she grabbed a frying pan from nearby, “I feel like I could kill a dinosaur with a pan right now!”

Xue An was amused and dumbfounded by An Yan, so he just nodded, “All right, we should be going now!”

“Hm? What about this Spiritual Spring?”

“Of course, we’ll take it with us!”

“Take it with us? But it’s water, how do we take it?” An Yan was somewhat confused.

Xue An smiled, “Your husband, of course, has his ways!”

With that said, Xue An formed hand seals and pointed at the Spiritual Spring.

The spring suddenly lifted from the ground and gradually shrank, and by the time it flew into Xue An’s hand, it had transformed into a sparkling, translucent gemstone.

However, this gemstone was still radiating Spiritual Energy, making people feel refreshed and delighted when near it.

An Yan already wore a necklace with a Sea Demon Blood Bead, and Xue An set the gem into it.

Then he clapped his hands in satisfaction, “Done, now you’ll have the Spiritual Spring with you wherever you go!”

An Yan didn’t quite understand but nodded anyway.

What she didn’t know was that even disciples from the Immortal Gate in The Multiverse didn’t have such treatment.

The Spiritual Spring became a bead, carried with her wherever she went!

Only a sect with lavish resources could afford to do such a thing!

And only someone like Xue An, who doted on his wife, would be willing!

“Husband, are we going straight home?” An Yan asked.

“No rush, we’ve got nothing pressing, let’s first check out the tavern. I’ve missed old Stone’s mixology!” Xue An said with a light chuckle.

City of Sin.

Old Stone was busily enjoying himself in the tavern.

Although the population of the City of Sin had halved, business had gotten even better.

Because those who died were the most wicked and vile dregs of society.

Now the public order in the City of Sin had improved dramatically.

There were no longer any brawls breaking out in the tavern.

All of this gratitude was due to that man!

Thinking of this, Old Stone couldn’t help but feel a bit touched.

Who would have thought that the man who seemed so ordinary at first glance would be so formidable?

Old Stone had listened to martial artists speak with admiration, saying that the power of his swordsmanship was unrivaled!

And with that, Old Stone’s tavern became even more prosperous.

Because many people knew that when Xue An came to the City of Sin, he had actually stayed in this tavern, so they all rushed over.

When Xue An walked into the tavern.

Old Stone was engrossed in polishing glasses, heard the door, and without lifting his head, said, “We’re not open yet, come back later.”

Xue An smiled lightly, “Just a drink will do, I’ll leave once I’m done!”

When Old Stone heard this voice, he stiffened, then slowly raised his head to look at Xue An, and after a long while, said with reverence.

“Yes, my lord!”
