Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny IBWASFM-Chapter 716 - : From Now On, I Am Your Retribution (First Update)
Chapter 716: Chapter 716: From Now On, I Am Your Retribution (First Update)
Cheng Liangyu was struck with terror and took a few steps back subconsciously.
Because the gaze of this man was simply too terrifying.
While in Silver City, Cheng Liangyu had encountered many Fifth Rank and even Sixth Rank powerhouses.
Moreover, the City Lord of Silver City was an unparalleled mighty figure.
As the captain of the Dragon Shadow Guard, Cheng Liangyu naturally had interactions with the Silver City Lord and had been profoundly convinced by his power, believing him to be the most powerful man on the planet.
But unlike the City Lord’s fierce and intimidating presence,
this man’s authority lay hidden beneath a calm exterior, like a massive iceberg submerged beneath the surface of the sea.
It was silent, yet commanded awe.
This bizarre feeling made Cheng Liangyu so uncomfortable that he wanted to cough up blood, and his heart no longer held any desire to fight; he only wanted to flee from this place as far and as fast as possible.
But just as this thought arose, he felt his body lighten, and then he was floating in the air.
“You… .”
Cheng Liangyu let out a shout of surprise and tried to break free with all his might.
But it was at this moment that he discovered, in terror, his entire body was no longer under his control; forget struggling, even moving a finger had become a luxury.
Not only that, Cheng Liangyu tried to activate his innate abilities, only to find that even his talents had become unusable.
At this moment, Xue An shook his head, “Don’t struggle, it’s no use!”
Cheng Liangyu’s complexion turned deathly pale in an instant.
Because he finally understood just how vast the gap in strength was between him and this man.
“Sir… please forgive my earlier offence!”
Cheng Liangyu swallowed hard and croaked out his words.
He was a proud man, who had thought he would never beg for mercy from anyone in his life.
Yet, this situation, where he was completely paralyzed, like a lamb awaiting slaughter, instilled in Cheng Liangyu immense fear.
So immense that even he, who thought he was not afraid of death, began to plead for mercy.
Xue An smiled, then said indifferently, “Who is Cheng Xiya to you?”
“Replying to… your lordship, she is my younger sister!”
Xue An nodded but said nothing.
Cheng Liangyu’s brain was frantically working, trying desperately to come up with the right words.
“Sir, I truly had no idea that you were such a formidable Samurai, please allow me to express my most sincere apologies for my previous rudeness!”
After Cheng Liangyu finished speaking, he saw that Xue An had no expression and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
In any case, it was good as long as he was willing to listen.
Therefore, he continued, “Sir, my sister Cheng Xiya is naturally unruly and must have offended you. Therefore, it is no one else’s fault if she is dead! And as long as you are willing to let me go, I will report back to my family, and the Cheng Family will certainly give you a proper explanation.”
That’s right.
The current implication of Cheng Liangyu’s words was that not only was the incident with Cheng Xiya’s death considered past, but the Cheng Family would also show enough remorse for it.
This was in stark contrast to the aggressive posture he had adopted upon his arrival.
And the reason for such a drastic one-eighty-turn was the power of Xue An.
In this cruel wasteland world, everything depends on strength.
Without strength, you are likely to end up like Ah Tu and his siblings, becoming playthings cruelly abused by the powerful.
But as long as your strength is strong enough, even if you killed these so-called dignitaries, the remaining nobles would sing your praises.
And about all this, the nobles wouldn’t feel the slightest bit embarrassed.
Because this world has always been like this.
Xue An remained silent.
Cheng Liangyu’s heart became increasingly relaxed, and with a hint of a fawning smile, he said, “My Lord, no matter the reason, our Cheng Family expresses our deepest apologies to you, and if you spare me, you will gain the friendship and respect of a great family that has presided over Black Iron City for decades!”
“Even if you wish, the Cheng Family is willing to offer you the most honored position of Guest Elder.”
Guest Elder refers to the Samurai who take refuge with wealthy families.

Cheng Liangyu’s calculation was very clever.
The strength of someone as powerful as Xue An, if recruited, could even make the Cheng Family leap to the forefront among the Silver Council.
But at that moment, Xue An suddenly looked up, his tone indifferent, “Before you arrived at Riverside Town, were you thinking that if you didn’t find me, you would kill everyone in this town to vent your frustration?”
This question left Cheng Liangyu stunned, and then somewhat dismissively he said, “My Lord, this Riverside Town is full of mutated vermin, killing them is no loss!”
To their kind of powerful family, people like Ah Tu and his siblings couldn’t even be considered human, they were just talking beasts.
So he didn’t think there was anything wrong with his thoughts.
Xue An nodded, “Very well! But do you know why I turned your sister into a specimen?”
“For… for what reason?”
Xue An smiled, “Because that’s what she did to others. I just let her experience it herself, but to my surprise, she didn’t even last half the time before she mentally collapsed.”
Cheng Liangyu still didn’t understand what Xue An meant, but he laughed along anyway, “My Lord, you are indeed formidable.”
His words carried no anger at all at the death of his sister.
Xue An looked at Cheng Liangyu deeply, “And those she wantonly tortured were the ‘mutated vermin’ you spoke of!”
Cheng Liangyu was taken aback, almost not believing his own ears.
He had never imagined that everything stemmed from a lowly vermin.
“I know that in your eyes, these people can’t be counted as human, but in my eyes, aren’t you the same?” Xue An said indifferently, iciness appearing in his gaze.
“No… My Lord, I realize my mistake, I truly did not know that you valued these mutated… Mutants, so highly!”
Cheng Liangyu felt a chilling murderous aura as if it was going to tear him apart, and he began to scream incoherently.
“I really hate this world, so I’m waiting for the perpetrator who caused all this to appear, and as for you people….”
As Xue An spoke calmly, Cheng Liangyu felt his blood suddenly start surging madly.
Considering something, he screamed frantically.
“You can’t kill me, I am the Captain of the Dragon Shadow Guard of Silver City… If you kill me, the Silver Council won’t let you off!”
His words were cut short, as a massive amount of blood gushed from Cheng Liangyu’s mouth.
It was as if all the blood in his body had been vomited out, and in an instant, Cheng Liangyu’s body visibly shriveled rapidly, before becoming a specimen just like his sister.
Looking at the unwillingness remaining in Cheng Liangyu’s eyes.
Xue An said indifferently, “I know you don’t believe in retribution, but from now on, I… am your retribution!”
