Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 623 - 598: Confrontation (Part 1)

The one speaking was a fierce-looking man with a black face.

He was burly, with a thickset arm holding a stone axe almost as large as himself, wrapped in a faint aura of Truth Power.

Just standing there, he exuded an invisible air of dominance.

"Fusheng Wuya, don't you dare push us too far!"

The Clan Leader of the Puahu tribe confronted the black-faced man head-on, his expression so dark it could almost drip water. "This land belongs to my Puahu tribe. When did it become territory of your Fusheng tribe? You're recklessly expanding. Are you trying to provoke the Puahu tribe?"

"Hmph! What if I am provoking you?" Fusheng Wuya, the Clan Leader of the Fusheng tribe, snorted coldly. "Your Puahu tribe is under assault from a fierce beast tide, you can't even protect your own territory, and yet you dare to talk to me about land? Ridiculous! Look at the Puahu people behind you—battered and dirty, clearly on the run. With such strength, do you still want a war with my Fusheng tribe?"

"Be careful or your tribe will be annihilated and you won't even save your own life!"

Fusheng Wuya was taking advantage of the Puahu tribe's crisis, ready to exploit the situation.

It's well-known that there's often very clear territorial divisions between tribes; members rarely cross these lines unless necessary because a small misstep could ignite a war, bringing unnecessary disaster to the tribe.

But this wasn't the reason for Fusheng Wuya's aggression.

He had long coveted the territory of the Puahu tribe, but due to the strength of their Clan Leader, a fight would result in serious mutual damage, making war an unwise choice.

Now, things were different.

The entire Puahu tribe was fleeing from the beast tide, exhausted from the long journey. They were already weakened in spirit, not to mention having no defensive territory now. If he provokes an invasion at this time, they could easily take over the land without a fight, and once they expand and grow stronger, they could even devour the entire Puahu tribe!

How could he pass up such a great opportunity?

"Fusheng Wuya, I, Puahui Lei, am not someone to be easily slaughtered. If you touch even a hair on my tribe's heads, I swear I'll fight your Fusheng tribe to the death!" The Puahu Clan Leader's eyes were filled with a vicious light.

In the borderlands, the fact that the Clan Leader could reach the four fingers Ganges True Spirit Realm is an achievement, not someone easily bullied.

"Hmph! Threatening me? You've picked the wrong time, haven't you? I've come today to seize your Puahu tribe's territory to expand my Fusheng tribe! If you are sensible, sign this agreement obediently. If you disregard your people's lives and want to start a war, I'm ready to accompany you anytime!" Fusheng Wuya said coldly.

He took out an ancient parchment scroll, its words written in the blood of fierce beasts, surrounded by Truth Power, making it binding among the many tribes of the Ganges Realm.

If either party dares to break the agreement, they would immediately face punishment from the Truth.

Although the agreement only applies to one living being, it is enough.

The rise or fall of a tribe is often in the strongest individual's hands. For the Puahu tribe, if something happens to the Clan Leader, the two Elders alone could not sustain the tribe's survival, risking annihilation at any time.

But as long as the Clan Leader survives to guard the tribe, most disasters can be averted.

So, once the agreement is signed, tribes are reluctant to tear it apart easily. Otherwise, even before the violator makes a move, Truth Power would strike first.

"Damn it..."

The Clan Leader clenched his silver teeth, his fists cracking with pressure.

The Puahu people behind also glared at Fusheng Wuya in anger.

But no matter how resentful they were, they couldn't change the situation.

If they went to war, they would undoubtedly lose to the well-prepared Fusheng tribe, resulting in defeat.

If they didn't fight, they would have to cede Puahu's land, allowing the Fusheng tribe to become more arrogant and relentless.

"What should we do?"

The younger Puahu members like Puahu Yu and Xu Milu had grim faces.

They hated themselves for not being strong enough; if they were stronger, who would dare bully the Puahu tribe?

Strength.

Ultimately, it's about strength!

Just as all the Puahu tribe members fell silent and the Fusheng tribe people reveled in secret joy, a voice suddenly rang out:

"Want to take over my Puahu tribe's land? Have you asked me yet?"

Everyone was startled and looked toward the source of the voice.

Wang Xu, the Guest Minister?

The Puahu people naturally recognized Wang Xu, and a gleam of joy appeared on their faces.

However, before that joy could fully blossom, they immediately thought of the fact that Wang Xu, at most, was a three-fingers Ganges True Spirit. Though he could add some combat strength, it couldn't change the dilemma they currently faced.

Instantly, the Puahu people's faces fell again.

"Wang Xu, where have you been?" the Clan Leader asked in surprise.

He hadn't been able to find Wang Xu along the way, fearing Wang Xu had abandoned the Puahu tribe, but hadn't expected him to return now.

"Handled some private matters." Wang Xu smiled slightly.

"You brat, are you from the Puahu clan?"

Fusheng Wuya heard Wang Xu's arrogant words and saw his figure, and couldn't help but frown, "Yes, I indeed heard that the Puahu clan has welcomed a guest minister from outside, rumored to be of scattered spirit origin."

"But so what? Even if you are just a scattered spirit, without having reached the realm of a Ganges Ancient Spirit, you dare to stick out and contend with my Fusheng clan? I say Puahui Lei, you wouldn't really think that with just one guest minister you can oppose my Fusheng clan, would you?"

Fusheng Wuya narrowed his eyes, his mocking tone unhidden.

"You..."

"Clan Leader, let me handle him. I've been living off the Puahu clan for over three years without contributing much, and now it's time to put myself to use."

The clan leader was about to speak, but Wang Xu reached out to stop him.

He stood in front of all the members of the Puahu clan, with a faint smile on his face as he looked at Fusheng Wuya, showing no trace of fear, but instead full of confidence.

It was a confidence surging with fighting spirit, like an invincible War God, believing himself to be the strongest existence, unshakeable!

"You want to stand up for the Puahu clan? You really don't weigh your own worth, I fear that with a gentle puff of breath from me, you wouldn't be able to withstand it!" Fusheng Wuya sneered.

Obviously, as Wang Xu approached, he had already noticed that Wang Xu had merely the power of a three-finger Ganges True Spirit, compared to his Ganges Ancient Spirit, there was a whole realm of difference.

This oppressive power gap left Fusheng Wuya with no scruples.

"As the clan leader of the Fusheng clan, are you left with only the ability to boast with words? How about this, we can arrange a one-on-one duel, anyone from your Fusheng clan can fight, as long as they defeat me, this territory will be yours."

Wang Xu said with a smile, "Of course, I mean anyone, including you."

"Brat, boasting like this could leave you without a burial site!" Fusheng Wuya said harshly.

"Wang Xu, this... might be too rash."

The clan leader worriedly spoke up, even though he believed in Wang Xu's strength, when Wang Xu claimed anyone could challenge him, even including Fusheng Wuya, he couldn't help but interject.

This is not a child's play, it concerns the honor and territory of the Puahu clan, once lost, both territory and honor are gone, which would be a significant blow to the Puahu clan.

"Clan Leader, rest assured." Wang Xu pressed his palm down, glanced at the clan leader, "Leave this matter to me, you all just sit back and enjoy the show."

The great confidence in Wang Xu's eyes caused the words the clan leader intended to say to be stuck in his throat.

"Good!"

Fusheng Wuya sneered, "Since you are so arrogant, then as your senior, I must teach you what 'heaven high and earth deep' means, otherwise, if you venture out in the future, losing your life is trivial, but losing face is substantial!"

"Let it be me to fight against you!"

With a swing of his huge Stone Axe, Fusheng Wuya took a large stride, causing countless fine cracks to appear on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

All the members of the Puahu clan, their hearts hung up for a moment.

"Then let me learn firsthand the strength of Senior Fusheng."

Wang Xu smiled slightly, pulling out from his back a completely jade-white Bone Saber enveloped in a faint Truth Power, gripping it steadily in his hands, its tip directed at Fusheng Wuya.

"Humph!"

Striking first, Fusheng Wuya knew well that in battle, one must seize the initiative. Immediately, he stomped his foot, causing the ground to tremble violently, his figure becoming an arrow leaving a bowstring, leaving a barely perceptible phantom in air.

The Stone Axe, weighing ten thousand pounds, however, in Fusheng Wuya's hand seemed weightless, slicing through the air with a whistling sound, arriving before Wang Xu, aiming to cleave down fiercely!

If this axe struck, even a clan leader of the same level would be injured, let alone Wang Xu with only his three-finger power.

"The power of a Ganges Ancient Spirit is indeed domineering."

Wang Xu thought to himself, his gaze tightening, his figure suddenly fluttering unpredictably.

This was the Heart Level Body Technique he cultivated during his time as a Genetic Warrior on Earth.

Later, as Wang Xu entered the cosmos, the body technique became unimportant. To a Cosmic Martial Artist, no matter how fast one's body technique, it couldn't evade the lock of law, so this body technique ended up being forgotten by Wang Xu over time.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving in the Ganges Realm, this body technique not only became useful again, even all the Ancient Martial Arts Wang Xu once cultivated have also become his killing ace.

Whoosh!

The Stone Axe swept by, and Wang Xu shifted his figure, letting the axe blade, wrapped in Truth Power, brush past his chest.

"Die for me!"

Fusheng Wuya, a seasoned fighter, naturally wouldn't stop at that, changing the direction of the axe blade as if breaking a mountain, intending to cut Wang Xu in two.

But no matter how fast his axe speed was, could it be faster than Wang Xu's current Body Technique Speed?

With just a slight move, without any excessive motion, straightforward and neat, the Stone Axe brushed past Wang Xu's body without even touching him. (To be continued.
