Chapter 1056: Chapter 1028 Lan Xili

As this voice fell, a deathly silence enveloped the surroundings.

They didn’t see the newcomer.

However, just based on this skill alone, out of everyone present, except for Zi Zhao, no one else could achieve it.

Moreover, judging from the tone with which he spoke to Zi Zhao, it was easy to discern the identity of the visitor.

An Earth-level expert!

"How..." Ye Tu felt his lips a bit dry, opened his mouth, but found he couldn’t utter a single word.

To him, facing such a formidable expert, just having one already took tremendous courage.

If not for Zi Zhao’s appearance, it’s likely he would now be a corpse.

And after Zi Zhao showed up, just when he thought he could catch a breath, a second Earth-level expert appeared, leaving his feelings nothing short of complex.

With the fall of the voice, a man bearing a fifty percent resemblance to Lan Xigui appeared in the vision of several individuals.

The man’s steps seemed slow, but his speed was astonishingly fast.

At first sight, he was still at a distance, but in just a few strides, he had already reached the front of the crowd.

"You’re a bit late." Turning his head to look at the man beside him, Lan Xigui frowned and said.

This newly appeared Earth-level expert was indeed his younger brother Lan Xili.

Although the two were brothers, their personalities were vastly different. As for him, he was a meticulous person, with thoroughness as his principle.

In contrast, Lan Xili appeared a bit unorthodox. Despite also cultivating to the Earth-level, his laid-back personality remained unchanged, instead becoming more indulgent in enjoyment and entertainment.

But what left Lan Xigui speechless was that his rebellious brother, who wandered the mountains and rivers daily, wasn’t much weaker than him in terms of power.

Lan Xili, likewise, was an Earth-Level Black Rope expert!

After Lan Xili appeared, even Zi Zhao couldn’t help but change his expression.

Indeed, he was a businessman and had a wide network of friends.

But this time, he hadn’t brought any friends along. No matter how well he conducted business, no matter how broad his connections, he couldn’t change the fact he was merely a Black Rope Earth-level.

With his current strength, facing two experts of the same level was somewhat difficult to sustain.

"How..."

Before Zi Zhao could finish his words, Lan Xili stepped out with a wicked smile: "What how, how could it be?"

"Senior Zi Zhao, you are our senior. You started cultivating earlier and reached the Earth-level earlier, but over the years, it seems you haven’t gained much advantage, have you?"

Lan Xili sized up Zi Zhao, then softly said: "I say, Senior Zi Zhao, don’t underestimate the younger generation. Decades ago, I was indeed not as excellent as this old guy next to me, but after so many years, who’s to say I couldn’t break through?"

Zi Zhao’s expression turned grim, only then realizing there was indeed an error in his intelligence.

As the Market Master of the marketplace, intelligence work was still a crucial task. Including knowledge of who had advanced to Earth-level and where banquets were hosted, clear notifications were necessary. This was indeed the practice in the Martial World; how could it be that when a family gained an Earth-level expert, they wouldn’t celebrate with pomp?

Therefore, knowing how many Earth-level experts each family or sect had wasn’t difficult.

However, the Lan family’s Lan Xili was an exception.

This guy was an anomaly in the Lan family. Despite extraordinary talent, he rarely stayed with the family and was also significantly alienated from other family members. In terms of cultivation, he mostly handled it on his own. Even in the Lan family, most people pretended he didn’t exist.

Since an incident over two decades ago, Lan Xili had completely vanished, seemingly embarking on travels abroad, not even the Lan family knew where he went, but today, he suddenly appeared here.

"Senior Zi Zhao, you seem a bit surprised?" Lan Xili looked at Zi Zhao, revealing a faint smile.

After much internal struggle, Zi Zhao finally calmed down, gazing at Lan Xigui and Lan Xili.

"Do you think that with the two of you, you are certain to win against me?"

"No, no, no!" Upon hearing Zi Zhao’s words, Lan Xili quickly shook his head: "Who says we need two to battle you? I’ve never gotten along with this guy next to me since childhood, I wouldn’t fight alongside him."

With a smile, Lan Xili slowly extended a finger, pointing to the side: "My target, is them."

And those of the Nether Army who were pointed at by Lan Xili, their expressions changed in unison.

This Earth-level expert actually set them as his target?

"Watch out!" A harsh shout suddenly erupted from Nether Wolf’s mouth.

Among the group, his vigilance was the highest, never relaxing his guard, and he was someone who was meticulous to the extreme in both deeds and words.

And at this moment, he was the first to notice Lan Xili’s attack intention, rushing towards An Qin nearby at the first opportunity.

A blue light, appearing out of nowhere, suddenly emerged in front of An Qin.

"Sss–"

Under An Qin’s shocked gaze, this blue light transformed directly into an ice pillar, piercing right through Nether Wolf’s chest.

Blood slowly flowed down from Nether Wolf’s chest.

After the ice pillar attack ended, it disappeared instantly, but the Nether Wolf had a penetrating wound on its chest.

"You..." An Qin looked at the Nether Wolf standing in front of her, momentarily at a loss for words.

At this moment, Wang Qianqian stepped forward, supporting the Nether Wolf’s shoulder. Spots of light danced from her palms, landing on the Nether Wolf. This time, instead of absorbing, she released them.

Pure energy was released from the spots of light, beginning to heal the Nether Wolf’s injuries.

"Sister An Qin, you should go into battle now. I will take care of the Nether Wolf’s healing and join you for support later!" Wang Qianqian said without turning her head.

Wang Qianqian knew what she should do at this moment, just as An Qin knew what she must do.

During the time she presided over the Linchuan situation, she had indeed grown.

Upon hearing this, An Qin hesitated no longer, grasping the Frost Sword, and slowly stood up.

Because of this strike, the Nether Princess and others were furious.

As Earth-level experts, to think they’d drop their dignity and resort to sneak attacks on a group of Profound-level individuals.

He’s unforgivable!!

In silence, a group of healing individuals stood up, their expressions blank as they looked at Lan Xili.

"Oh? Not bad." Seeing the group standing up, Lan Xili showed a hint of surprise on his face: "I didn’t expect you to withstand my move. According to my plan, it should have pierced two people entirely, but who would have thought this little guy’s body is so resilient?"

The crowd remained silent, slowly mobilizing their own power.

"Your fighting spirit is strong." Lan Xili showed none of the disdain that Lan Xigui did, instead revealing a smile: "I enjoy dueling opponents with such high morale."

Turning his head, Lan Xili looked at Lan Xigui beside him: "I’ll leave this side to you, dealing with this old guy alone shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

"Can’t kill, won’t die." Lan Xigui, seemingly equally disdainful of him, uttered six cold words.

"That’ll do." Lan Xili seemed indifferent to his attitude and directly turned his head to address a few Profound-level individuals.

"It seems that the genius disciple of my family is really quite inconspicuous, huh?" Among the group approached by Lan Xili, Yao Chou, who originally possessed the highest cultivation, suddenly laughed at this moment.

"Honestly, within the family, I’m the top genius of my generation. But it’s bad enough that I’m looked down upon by the monsters around Li Chen, let alone being ignored by an old guy."

"Oh?" Hearing Yao Chou’s words, Lan Xili turned towards him with some curiosity.

"That medicinal smell... Hmm, before I thought you might be relying on drugs to possess such cultivation at your age, but it seems you’re from the Pharmacist Clan."

Lan Xili nodded: "If it were that fellow a few years older than me, I might be wary, but if it’s me..."

"Boom!!"

Before he could finish speaking, a massive force suddenly surged up from beneath the group.

The incident happened so suddenly that no one expected the attack to come from below, causing several people to stagger unsteadily.

Lan Xili clenched his five fingers, preparing to launch another attack.

But at that moment, an astonishing Sword Qi suddenly struck down from above his head.

The Sword Qi carried an incredibly cold chill with it.

Frost Sword!

The consecutive ice pillars were all severed by this unstoppable Sword Qi.

"Interesting."

Just as he was prepared to meet the strike, a slightly crazed voice suddenly sounded from behind Lan Xili.

"I said you were ignoring me, right?"

An Qin’s sword was just a feint, and the real main attacker this time turned out to be Yao Chou!

"Boom!!"

...

"While your courage is admirable, your strength is lacking. However, it seems each of you is a promising genius."

Looking at the people lying on the ground, Lan Xili’s mouth twisted into a rather ferocious smile: "And unfortunately, my favorite pastime lately is snuffing out geniuses."

As Lan Xili’s voice faded, a silver longsword appeared in his hand.

Surprisingly, it also exuded an eerie chill!

"The Water Attribute is really a great asset. It can transform into the ultimate gentle force for defense, and when attacking, it becomes extremely cold and rigid. Otherwise, you little guys might have really succeeded earlier." Lan Xili chuckled.

The group remained silent, seeing the increasingly cold and oppressive longsword in Lan Xili’s hand, and couldn’t help but feel despair.

"Well then, what my big brother didn’t complete, I’ll..."

"Now, please, go die."

A voice, so filled with murderous intent it seemed tangible, suddenly came from the sky.
