Lan Chang'an was really about to explode!

He had lived his whole life, and no one had ever dared to be so arrogant in front of him.

Gao Xuan was not only arrogant but also used venomous language to mock him. To be honest, Lan Chang'an had never been so humiliated in his life.

Even competitors and enemies of the Lan Family had to show him basic respect.

Now he was being directly and viciously mocked by a young man. What made him even angrier was that he had no way to retaliate.

Upon receiving Lan Changkong's urgent report, Lan Chang'an had hurriedly brought people over.

But he was still a step too late, and from a distance, he saw Gao Xuan easily slashing and killing Lan Guangheng and Lan Changkong with one sword after another.

Obviously a brutally bloody slaughter, yet it was somehow elegant and fluid, pleasing to watch.

Lan Chang'an also had to admit that this swordsmanship was truly extraordinary. Only then could he handle the battle with such composure and mastery in the heat of combat.

Such a powerful Gao Xuan was not someone that those armed with exoskeleton armor swordsmen could contend with.

Lan Chang'an initially wanted to stop the killing to save the elite of the family.

However, Gao Xuan completely ignored him and directly killed everyone.

Lan Chang'an's heart was bleeding; tenth-level swordsmen were masters anywhere. Losing two squads of elite swordsmen at once was a huge loss.

Not to mention Lan Changkong and Lan Guangheng were killed, directly breaking two main pillars of the Lan Family.

Especially Lan Changkong, who held the position of Minister of Public Security, wielding significant power.

Lan Changkong was the Minister of Public Security for the entire Taurus, managing all internal security for the Alliance.

Although Lan Changkong's rank within the Alliance's governance system was not high, his authority was immense. Having control over the Public Security Bureau was of huge significance to any noble family.

Lan Changkong had climbed step by step to the position of Minister of Public Security, spending an unknown amount of family resources. He himself had sufficient ability, enabling this success.

Yet, he was just so simply slain by Gao Xuan with a single sword.

Even if they were to kill Gao Xuan afterward, it would not compensate for this enormous loss.

Lan Chang'an was really about to explode with anger, but he ultimately did not lose his mind. He knew that confronting Gao Xuan now was akin to seeking death.

He still had two Silver Sword Heroes by his side, but their level was only on par with Lan Changkong, not even up to Lan Guangheng.

You have to know that Lan Changkong and Lan Guangheng were armed with biochemical battle armor, and had two exoskeleton armor squads providing cover. Even so, they were wiped out by Gao Xuan in one encounter.

As the patriarch, Lan Chang'an obviously had his skills. He adjusted his emotions and suppressed all his anger.

At this moment, impulsiveness would solve nothing.

After a moment of silence, Lan Chang'an said to Gao Xuan, "You will pay a heavy price for today's events."

Gao Xuan asked with keen interest, "How heavy a price?"

Lan Chang'an fell silent. He had never encountered such a rogue and shameless guy. Even his good-for-nothing son wouldn't be grinning and bantering at a moment like this.

Actually, Lan Chang'an had an imposing manner, with slicked-back hair, sharp features, and wearing a crisp Tang suit. Wherever he stood, he exuded the full aura of a bigwig.

For others, even if they didn't know Lan Chang'an, they wouldn't dare speak recklessly in front of him.

However, Gao Xuan was entirely unperturbed. If the two sides had no conflict, he would afford his opponent the courtesy they were due.

But since the other side had already started to kill him, he wasn't about to feign politeness.

Gao Xuan, at heart, was very clear on matters of grievance and gratitude. No matter how high the other side's status was, once fights ensued, they were enemies.

In a life-and-death encounter, it was laughable to speak of courtesy and respect.

Moreover, considering Lan Chang'an's sinister and poisonous calculations against him, he didn't deserve any respect.

Bai Yue, for instance, was foolish enough to pick a direct fight, yet he only got teased a bit without any real harm intended.

Lan Chang'an aimed to kill him outright, prompting Gao Xuan to not hold back.

Seeing Lan Chang'an remain silent, Gao Xuan said, "Oh dear, I regret it now."

He said earnestly, "Big Brother, please don't kill me, alright?"

Lan Chang'an automatically filtered out these venomous taunts and said, "No matter your identity, for killing so many of my Lan family, you must die. For now, you may prance around…"

"Does that mean I'm as good as dead?"

Gao Xuan said a bit angrily, "I just begged you sincerely. You are unreasonable."

Then his expression changed: "Since I'm already dead, let's all die together."

As Gao Xuan spoke, his figure blurred, and he was already in front of Lan Chang'an.

Lan Chang'an was greatly shocked, hurriedly drew his sword to retreat, and quickly donned a dark red battle armor.

This battle armor had a heavy design, composed not of scale armor from the biochemical modules, but rather a thick, integrated armor.

The overall lines were very rigid, and the dark red color added a sinister, bloody implication.

Gao Xuan instantly caught the scent of the Master of Blood.

The Master of Blood's divine power was immense, yet his divine power always carried an indelible sense of evil and destruction. This was also the essence of his divine power. He didn't need to hide it.

However, for Lan Chang'an, as the patriarch of a top-tier noble family, to have fallen so deeply, even having his biochemical battle armor tainted with the power of an evil god.

That said, the Master of Blood's divine power empowerment was exceptionally strong. Others wouldn't even have the qualifications to receive the divine power empowerment.

This sort of divine power transformation was also profoundly mysterious, that even a Golden Sword Saint might not discern the essence of the divine power.

But Gao Xuan was too familiar with the Master of Blood.

In the previous life of human extinction, several key figures were behind the scenes. The Master of Blood was definitely one of them.

This guy naturally loved destruction and ruin.

Humanity building a civilized and orderly world fundamentally clashed with the core rules of the Master of Blood. Therefore, it would try everything to destroy the human world.
