Chapter 448: Let’s Go Home

The scene caused many to tense, their eyes narrowing, bodies shivering in shock. A seventh-realm archer, counter-killed, by an "alien" who caught the arrows barehanded and in a flash, sent them back to shatter his body.

"Arrows pierced through him... his flesh exploded..." someone murmured, feeling a chill run down their spine. The grassland afar was stained crimson, scattered with fragments of bone and blood.

Everyone knew this alien was formidable, having displayed ruthless ferocity before. Yet, many doubted his ability to make a significant impact in this complex environment, expecting his realm and spiritual practice to be forcibly diminished.

Now, the hearts of many were shaken, their confidence wavering.

"Good heavens, true to his reputation as a great villain. His greeting is indeed vivid, claiming lives with his actions," exclaimed the little fox fairy aboard the bamboo boat as it entered the city.

"He didn't kill on your first meeting, just took you captive," Wu Yin added, equally astonished but quickly regaining her composure, not allowing fear to overtake her.

"Black Fox Elder, this is excessive. Yun Chuan merely wanted to jest in goodwill, to greet him with arrows as friends, yet he killed on the spot. Such malevolence!" A man in white stood up, anger etched on his face, loudly decrying Wang Xuan and beseeching Black Fox to administer justice for the indiscriminate killing.

"He's always been a butcher, a relentless killer. Near the Earthly Immortal City, he slaughtered sixty to seventy of our peers from the three extraordinary planets."

"There must be a severe punishment!" Voices rose in indignation. Clearly intent on causing trouble at Old Fox's estate, these individuals collectively condemned Wang Xuan, seeking retribution for his actions.

"Elder, Wang Xuan was merely defending himself. It's unfair how these people are distorting the truth," Zhao Qinghan couldn't hold back, worried Wang Xuan would be wronged.

"You people..." Wu Yin also expressed her anger.

Wang Xuan simply shook his hand, signaling to those in the air that there was no need for further words; to him, this was nothing of concern.Visit novelbin(.)com for latest novels

Wang Xuan simply looked towards Old Fox, awaiting its stance amidst the escalating tension.

"Attacking someone from the shadows now has justification, does it? Serves him right!" muttered Superb, the horse.

Old Fox surveyed the gathered crowd and declared, "If you wish for a duel, announce it beforehand. Attacking with cold arrows at one's vital points from the get-go is deserving of death!"

It added, "This is my residence, where I host my guests. To draw a bow with intent to harm here, one only invites trouble upon themselves."

Instantly, many from the three extraordinary planets fell silent, their voices stifled by Old Fox's deterrence, none daring to further provoke its ire.

"Thank you, Elder, for upholding justice," Wang Xuan spoke up, his demeanor calm, untroubled, which only served to deepen some onlookers' wariness and indignation.

With a swish, the glowing bamboo boat touched down, and two women alongside a small fox stepped out gracefully, rushing over like immortal beings skimming over water, their otherworldly beauty intact.

Despite originating from a technologically advanced modern world, having spent months in a realm filled with monsters and beasts, their return felt like seeing home after years of absence. The sight of Wang Xuan, a familiar face, brought them immense joy and a surge of emotion.

Seeing them safe and sound, their faces alight with happiness and their extraordinary aura evident, stirred Wang Xuan deeply.

"I've come to take you home!" he announced.

Hearing those words, Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin were reminded of his promise at their departure. Though they had been stranded here for a long time, he had indeed come for them.

For a while, they had worried they might never return home, especially after hearing from Old Fox about cosmic ships attacking a base on a brown star and retreating, hinting at possible interstellar conflicts disrupting their paths.

Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin immediately dropped their smiles and communicated with Wang Xuan through their spiritual realm, informing him of the situation and expressing concern for his wellbeing.

Wang Xuan responded with calm and assurance, his words strong and comforting, "You don't need to worry about me. Feel free to change into your new clothes and enjoy some snacks on the side. Nothing will happen here!"

However, how could they possibly leave? In the end, the little fox fairy pulled them to her grandfather's side. With the old fox present, no one from the three transcendent planets dared to cause trouble.

The Black Fox spoke, "This was meant to be a peaceful gathering; there's no need for bloodshed." He did not wish for the guests from the transcendent planets to create a disturbance.

Feeling the old fox’s goodwill, Wang Xuan stepped forward and addressed the crowd, "I originally didn't want to get too involved with you, but if you insist on provocation, I'm ready to accompany you and settle this once and for all."

"See, Elder, he himself is willing to resolve our dispute. Please do not interfere," the middle-aged man said, looking towards the old fox.

"Suit yourselves," the old fox sighed, sitting back down.

With a whoosh, a large crowd stood up, these were the transcendent beings eager to charge forward and tear Wang Xuan apart.

Wang Xuan’s expression turned icy as he announced, “Those who wish to spar, move to the left; those who seek a fight to the death, stand on the right.”

Beside the lotus pond, the sacred trees swayed, and snow-white blossoms bloomed in abundance, their fragrance overwhelming. Petals fluttered down, glinting with crystalline light, like a gentle shower of luminescence.

However, the atmosphere on the ground turned deadly serious, some petals even bursting midair.

The crowd moved to the right, signaling their intent for a deadly confrontation. No one was interested in mere sparring; they were after Wang Xuan’s life!

“I’ll go first,” the middle-aged man spoke up, choosing to keep the initial challenge one-on-one.

“Actually, I think you all could come at once,” Wang Xuan suggested.

The area fell silent for a moment before erupting into an uproar. Many transcendent beings felt this was unbearable; the alien was too arrogant and presumptuous.

Even Wu Yin was taken aback, not having seen Wang Xuan for a long time... He was so confident. There were ninth-level masters here, possibly even early-stage roamers of the free realms. Could he really withstand them?

Zhao Qinghan, who knew Wang Xuan better, was struck by a thought. What had he experienced? In just half a year, he had reached such heights; his cultivation speed was astounding.

With a clang, three resplendent flying swords, brilliant and dazzling, tore through the void. They gleamed with blinding light, like comets from beyond the heavens, enveloping destructive power as they slashed towards Wang Xuan.

A ninth-level master had made his move. The attack was formidable to the onlookers, but Wang Xuan stood his ground, not dodging but merely extending a hand and casually flicking his fingers at the dazzling swords.

Crack!

In midair, it was like magnificent fireworks exploding, a brilliant meteor shower descending. The three flying swords were instantly shattered by his flick, with shards scattering in a spray of light.

Simultaneously, Wang Xuan’s right hand slashed through the air like a blade, slicing powerfully down towards the man. It was like a swath of the Milky Way had descended; with a swoosh, he split the man’s physical body and spirit essence in two.

The venue fell deathly silent.

“Anyone else?” Wang Xuan’s calm words resounded like thunder, startling all the transcendent beings, sending tremors through their hearts and souls.
