Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 1177 - 123: Chance Encounter with a Strong One, Residual Team Alliance
The wind within [Night Parade of Hundred Demons] is always clamorous.
It mixes sounds from some unknown corner, hard to tell if it’s ghosts fishing or humans in desperate screams.
Unlike small ruins which have only one entrance and exit, large ruins have multiple entrances and exits.
Therefore, encountering others inside the ruins isn’t particularly rare.
Especially in a popular large ruin like [Night Parade of Hundred Demons], where the "concurrent players" at peak could reportedly reach hundreds or even thousands.
However, the ruins are fraught with danger. In such sensitive places, encountering a stranger suddenly, anyone would instinctively be on guard.
Xu Shu was no exception.
"Backstabbing" in large ruins is almost an unspoken rule.
The old saying goes, if you can’t handle the Demon Cave, can you handle me?
Therefore, amid the gusting eerie winds, the gaze between Xu Shu and the Dragon Elephant on the opposite rooftop didn’t last long.
He didn’t know if the other was friend or foe.
But he decided to strike first.
Thus, as his strong waist slightly swayed, and the mermaid gritted its teeth enduringly, a golden hued light spear gradually formed behind Xu Shu, brimming with a terrifying energy. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
The air gradually turned tense, and the atmosphere became charged with tension.
Gu Yue Ming’s heart skipped a beat, she had the chance to witness this move more than once, she could see that Xu Shu had the intent to kill.
She cooperated seamlessly, without a word, casting a "Qi Healing Technique" on Xu Shu, while silently retreating to a safe position.
At this moment, the extremely robust "Dragon Elephant" on the opposite side, continued to stare this way.
Xu Shu took a deep breath, feeling confident—not only had the "Kua Fu Chasing the Sun" completed its charge, the "gaze" buildup was also sufficient.
With the toxicity blast of the gaze, it wouldn’t directly kill a same-tier "Dragon Elephant," but it was enough to immobilize the opponent briefly, preventing further resistance.
Following up with a "Chasing Sun Golden Spear" could likely result in an instant kill, this was the confidence Xu Shu gained from soloing the Three Friends of Cold Seasons.
As the two "Riding Fish Dragon Elephant" stared at each other for half a minute, the mermaid let out a light grunt, somewhat overwhelmed, "Guh~,"
while Xu Shu, too, slightly parted his lips, just about to remotely detonate the "gaze"!
At this critical moment, the man on the opposite side suddenly burst into hearty laughter:
"Hahaha! Brother, we’re on the same side, don’t act! But what’s up with your spear, why is the head so pointy, huh?"
The exaggerated, deliberate laughter resonated in the night sky.
Yet, the wandering monsters on the street heard nothing, indicating this voice had a special technique, not dispersed around but focused and precisely reaching Xu Shu.
"..." Xu Shu frowned, forcefully dispelling the gaze, thinking this guy probably didn’t intend to fight.
But he’s a bit weird. Isn’t it just a mermaid’s fish body turned human, what’s so funny?
As he was about to ask, beside him, Gu Yue Ming, upon hearing the laughter, looked over a few times and suddenly realized: "Oh, it’s him!"
"Hmm? Aunt, you know him?" Xu Shu raised an eyebrow, since it was an acquaintance, he dismissed the Chasing Sun Golden Spear, holding it was also taxing on the body.
Then Gu Yue Ming shook her head and said, "I don’t know him."
"..." Xu Shu almost stumbled, looking at him with a complex expression.
Can you talk without taking a big breath? You sound just like Gu Pan!
Oblivious to Xu Shu’s silent cursing, Gu Yue Ming continued: "But I’ve heard of him, he’s called Brother Ha Ha. However, logically speaking, you should have heard of his name too."
Xu Shu, baffled, "Is he famous?"
"Yeah, extremely famous on the upgraded network! No, logically you should know, considering you’re the same kind of people..." Gu Yue Ming spoke half-seriously, half-curiously.
"Who is this guy?" Xu Shu was genuinely shocked, should he "know" this person?
Could he be a strong contender on the Earthly List?
What the hell, did I almost throw a spear at a Demigod just now?
A close call, thank goodness I held back, I almost lost my life!
Xu Shu first felt fear and relief, then thought again and sensed something was off.
The fourth tier has already exceeded the upper limit for large ruins, theoretically can’t enter! This guy, at most, is third tier.
Who on the mortal rankings? Judging by Auntie’s attitude, not knowing him is like it’s all my fault... could he be the top of mortal rankings?
While Xu Shu was getting suspicious, Gu Yue Ming was already nodding her head: "Exactly! He’s the most famous Qingyun List top place in the past three years, a star-level presence like a comet across the whole network, nicknamed [Unyielding Clasp], Yan Huoxing!
Recently, he was just knocked off the list and delisted, everyone thought he was killed, but he reappeared, turned out he broke through.
"Hah? What nonsense?" Xu Shu’s expression twisted slightly.
This name rings a bell, but I simply can’t recall it for the moment.
"Strange, Xu Shu even you don’t know this? When you became, uh..." Gu Yue Ming was more surprised, paused a bit but still said, "the ninth of Qingyun, many people compared you with him."
"Really?" Xu Shu was taken aback, he genuinely wasn’t aware, busy heading to Penglai at that time, no leisure to follow this stuff?
Gu Yue Ming said, "Yeah, knowing that in the last ten years, only you two of the Warriors path Transcendents made it into Qingyun’s top ten. At that time, quite a few good-natured people dubbed you two the twin stars, even some extremists believed you two are a perfect pair."
