Chapter 458: 458 Working hard, only to benefit others (Part 5)


    Feeling this overwhelming Sword Qi, Hades’splexion drastically changed, and he directly burst out of the room.


    In the sky above appeared a huge vortexposed of strands of Sword Qi, at the center of which a man stood proudly.


    Xue An also noticed Hades and couldn’t help but squint his eyes slightly.


    In his Divine Sense, bloodline red threads almostpletely bound Hades, and Xue An could still detect a faint yet familiar aura from him.


    It was An Qing.


    Her soul was on this member of the Insect Tribe.


    “Human n expert, why have youe to our Insect Realm?” Hades then asked in a deep voice.


    Xue An’s face was as still as water, and he spoke indifferently, “Hand over the woman’s soul you captured! Otherwise, die!”


    Hades’s expression also darkened.


    So this man hade for the girl’s soul.


    That being the case, that soul was indeed not ordinary.


    But Xue An’s threatening tone made him very ufortable, and he couldn’t help but sneer, “Human n expert, do you know who you’re speaking to? I…”


    Xue An was already out of patience to keep talking nonsense with this demon insect; upon hearing those words, he frowned slightly, then raised his hand.


    From within the slowly rotating Sword Qi vortex suddenly burst forth an enormously huge sword light.


    “I don’t care who you are, hand over the soul, or die!”


    With that said, Xue An swung his sword down.


    The majesty of the sword turned countless low-grade members of the Insect Tribe on the ground to dust.


    Stimted by this might, Hades finally couldn’t maintain his human form, let out a shrill scream, and transformed into a tremendous butterfly.


    On the wings of the butterfly were countless eyes.


    So many, they made one’s scalp tingle at a mere nce.


    And this… was Hades’s true form.


    Hades sneered, “Indeed, your strength is not bad, but threatening a High-Grade Insect Race will be the most foolish thing you’ve ever done in your life…”


    As he spoke, those eyes were gradually opening.


    The entire space began to be enveloped by endless eerie Demon Qi.


    “Enough with the noise!” Xue An uttered indifferently, suddenly raising his hands over his head, clutching the massive Sword Qi vortex in his palm, and then fiercely mming it down.


    Indeed.


    mming it down.


    There were no intricate swordsmanship moves nor any dazzling glows.


    What existed were merely the majesty of the uplicated Sword Qi and the domineering aura, heavy as a mountain.


    Hades’s subsequent words turned into a scream stuck in his throat.


    The audacity and tyranny of this Human n expert were simply beyond hisprehension.


    His wings fluttered wildly, with the entire butterfly transforming into a streak of light that disappeared from the spot, barely dodging the strike.


    But the fortunes of the vassalnd below and the members of the Insect Tribe in the midst of it were not so good.


    A booming noise echoed.


    Heaven and earth trembled with it.


    And the whole vassalnd was smashed into a colossal pit by that strike.


    As dust billowed, Hades appeared in the distance, her human head emerging atop her butterfly true form, then she screamed in a trembling voice, “Who exactly are you, and why…”


    The next moment, her shouting was abruptly cut off, caught in her throat.


    Xue An suddenly materialized in front of her, stretched out his hand, and firmly grasped her neck.


    Hades was so grasped that she couldn’t move at all, her eyes once filled with cold evil now filled with terror and fear.


    “These wings, they are truly annoying!” he said as Xue An reached out, grasped one wing, and gave a fierce tug.


    Crack.


    One of Hades’s wings was brutally torn off.


    Green, foul-smelling insect blood sttered out.


    Huang Quan was in such pain that its entire insect body struggled.


    Xue An grabbed another one and ripped it off in the same way.


    Then he nodded with satisfaction, “Now that’s much more pleasing to the eye!”


    Huang Quan wanted to cry but had no tears; it had been torn from a butterfly into an earthworm, and he actually said it looked better?


    But this Huang Quan too was spurred into a fierce ferocity, and with a fierce gritting of teeth, it forcibly devoured An Qing’s soul with its own life soul.


    Following that, the soul of An Qing that it had forcibly devoured emitted bursts of white light, making Huang Quan’s soul tremble as it was scorched.


    However, Huang Quan had cultivated for over a thousand years and its soul was incredibly powerful.


    Although half of it was scorched away by the white light, it eventually exhausted all of the white light.


    Only then did a mocking smile appear on the face that Huang Quan had transformed.


    “You were looking for her soul, weren’t you? Too bad, it has already been devoured by me! Now she and I are indistinguishable. Let’s see how you are going to…”.


    Before he could finish his sentence, Xue An broke off its head with a single motion, his face as cold as ice as he stretched his hand into the insect’s cavity and shouted coldly, “Come out!”


    With that, Xue An forcibly removed the Demon Core that Huang Quan had cultivated for many years.


    This was also where its soul resided.


    The shocked voice of Huang Quan came from within the Demon Core, “How could you know about the Demon Core? Who exactly are you!”


    Xue An said coldly, “The one who will exterminate your Insect Tribe!”


    “It’s no use, even if you get the Demon Core, what then? You can’t break this Demon Core!” Huang Quan shouted with a frightened bluster.


    Xue An said coldly, “Is that so? Then I will have to give it a try!”


    Having said that, Xue An suddenly clenched his palm.


    Crack.


    A clear crack appeared on the unbreakable Demon Core.


    Huang Quan’s smug voice disappeared, and he shouted in panic, “How is this possible! How could you possibly break the Demon Core?”


    “A mere Demon Core, what’s so difficult about it!”


    With that, Xue An held the core with both hands, as if breaking an apple, and with a forceful twist, he broke the Demon Core into pieces.


    Huang Quan’s life soul appeared unprotected before Xue An.


    “So what if you’ve broken it? My soul and that of the human are now indistinguishable; you can’t save hers!” Huang Quan decided to throw caution to the wind.


    “Either take me back to the world with you, or her soul will stay inside me forever! Hahaha!”


    Theughter stopped abruptly.


    Huang Quan shivered as he saw the Pure White me emerging in Xue An’s hand.


    The instinct from its soul let it know the terror of the me.


    At this moment, Xue An said indifferently, “All this is because you brought it upon yourself!”


    Having said that, Xue An waved his hand, and the me devoured Huang Quan’s soul.


    The agony of being scorched at the soul level made Huang Quan struggle and howl.


    But Xue An remained unmoved, just watching quietly.


    “You devil… Aren’t you afraid of destroying the human soul as well?”


    “Afraid, but she won’t disappear!”


    Huang Quan was stunned, and before it could understand, it felt a profound energy explode within it.


    But the fragments were bound by the me and couldn’t disperse.


    Then An Qing’s soul, looking bewildered, appeared in the arena, and those shattered soul fragments, as if finding an outlet, surged towards her.


    In an instant, they replenished An Qing’s originally weak soul, making it as solid as if it had a physical body.


    Xue An watched this scene, a faint smile appearing on his lips. Huang Quan had painstakingly cultivated Soul Power for a thousand years, and now it had all been absorbed by An Qing.


    This was trulyboring for many years only to benefit someone else.
