Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 629 - 604 Played Too Much
"Hiss—"
Everyone, whether on or off the stage, was struck with shock and disbelief, gasping sharply at the sight before them.
Even the usually composed Copper Medicine Yerong and the City Lord of Copper Medicine widened their eyes in astonishment.
"He... he actually blocked it!"
The beautiful eyes of Copper Medicine Yerong were filled with incredulity.
When Yun Juan used his Secret Technique, Copper Medicine Yerong thought Wang Xu would die from the attack, already preparing to continue her deceitful acts.
However, unexpectedly, Wang Xu managed to block Yun Juan's strongest strike with just one hand!
This was simply unbelievable!
Bear in mind, even Copper Medicine Yerong herself would inevitably be severely injured by this strike, especially without a Secret Technique. An ordinary person would have been long dead.
Yet Wang Xu unexpectedly blocked it, and judging by his relaxed demeanor, his inner core wasn't even slightly harmed!
"Tai Xu?" the City Lord of Copper Medicine muttered under his breath, recalling Wang Xu's fake name.
He was the supreme ruler of Copper Medicine City. Despite his human appearance, he possessed the overwhelming power of a Ganges River Spirit underneath.
"A newcomer from the Third Layer? It seems he's quite a gifted young fellow." The City Lord was now completely impressed with "Tai Xu," the unsightly man before him.
Coming from the impoverished Third Layer.
To have a strength that could rival Yun Juan, the strongest among the peers of his generation.
Either of these traits would certainly capture the City Lord's attention.
"You..."
Yun Juan was so shocked he couldn't speak, "Who exactly are you?"
"I told you, my name is Tai Xu, from the Third Layer."
Wang Xu smiled "menacingly" as he leisurely approached Yun Juan.
Yun Juan retreated, but after taking two steps back, he was already at the edge of the Martial Platform with nowhere else to retreat.
"You filthy Third Layer dweller, you don't deserve to stand on this land at all, go back to your Third Layer!" Yun Juan shouted in anger.
"Whether I go back or not is not up to you."
Wang Xu said, "Since you've already used your strongest attack, there's no need for me to entangle with you further... go ahead."
As these words fell, Wang Xu's figure was already in front of Yun Juan, less than a meter between them!
Swish!
Suddenly, Wang Xu moved, lifting his leg, leaning back, his right foot shot out like a cannonball.
Boom!
Yun Juan was hit in the abdomen by Wang Xu's strike, his body flew backward, soaring over the heads of the crowd, crashing into the stone wall of a building, creating a large crater.
Yun Juan spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire being instantly weakened, his face pale as paper, indicating his inner core suffered significant damage from Wang Xu's strike, even more severe than Copper Medicine Yerong's injury!
"You..." Yun Juan shakily raised his finger, pointing at Wang Xu, his face twisted with rage, "I won't let you go... I'm going to kill you!"
Having grown to this point, except for suffering at the hands of true powerhouses, he had never faced such a crushing defeat among his peers.
Today, Wang Xu defeated him in full view of the public, not only shattering his title as the strongest but also subjecting him to the humiliation of having a woman snatched away.
"Uh..."
At this moment, Yun Juan's body froze, his gaze stagnated, the remaining breath all but drained away.
His eyes lost their luster, and Yun Juan's body fell straight to the ground.
"Dead?!"
"No way! Just one kick, how could Yun Juan be kicked to death!"
"He's dead! Yun Juan is really dead!"
"..."
The scene erupted into chaos, instantly stirring with commotion.
Wang Xu, however, shook his head internally, thinking: What kind of number one is this Yun Juan? With just a casual kick, I broke his inner core, it's simply laughable.
Having killed someone, and not just anyone, but a member of one of the four great families, panic was inevitable, yet Wang Xu remained calm and composed.
Afraid of the four great families seeking revenge?
No, Wang Xu had done his homework in recent days, knowing that besides the City Lord of Copper Medicine City, a Ganges River Spirit, the strongest of the four great families were only at the peak of the Ancient Spirit Realm, and even if they all attacked him together, he was confident in his ability to escape the siege.
With strength to rely on, Wang Xu naturally wouldn't be frightened by the fact that he had killed someone from the four great families, and instead walked towards Copper Medicine Yerong.
"Miss Yerong, the outcome of this competition is decided. I think it's about time you honor your promise." Wang Xu said.
"You..." Copper Medicine Yerong, seeing him approach, was startled like a frightened bird.
What's this guy's background?
He actually kicked Yun Juan to death with one kick!
And instead of panicking after the act, he confidently discussed fulfilling promises with her, could this have been intentional?
"This young brother." At this moment, the City Lord of Copper Medicine approached Copper Medicine Yerong, "Earlier, it was my daughter who was reckless, this matter…"
"You want to go back on your word?" Wang Xu squinted his eyes.
"No, we do not..." The City Lord of Copper Medicine hurriedly waved his hand to explain, but Wang Xu interrupted him directly.
"It's okay to back out, no problem. I can choose not to marry, but the wealth and secret techniques you promised earlier, and the spot to enter the First Layer cannot be missing, otherwise there is no room for negotiation!" Wang Xu feigned an angry look.
The City Lord of Copper Medicine and Copper Medicine Yerong were both taken aback by these words.
Not marrying, only wanting wealth, secret techniques, and a place? Strange.
One must know, everyone here participating in the marriage contest, who isn't here for Copper Medicine Yerong?
As long as you marry Copper Medicine Yerong, it means inheriting Copper Medicine City, possessing great power and glory, and wealth and secret techniques are available as much as one wants, the First Layer spot is simply not an issue.
Yet Wang Xu did the opposite.
He doesn't want the person, only the items.
"How about it? I have already made a big concession, as the City Lord, you wouldn't lack even this bit of credibility, right?"
This is Wang Xu's true calculation.
He didn't really come for the marriage contest; the reason for his disguise was to make the City Lord's daughter flinch and choose to back out.
Moreover, Wang Xu believed that with his current appearance, no girl would opt to not back out upon seeing him.
Thus, he could smoothly give up marrying the person and obtain everything promised earlier.
"I agree with you!"
Copper Medicine Yerong immediately spoke, "You said it yourself, not marrying me, only wanting wealth, secret techniques, and the First Layer spot, you must not go back on your word!"
"Miss, rest assured, as long as you give me everything promised, I will not push further." Wang Xu nodded.
He was secretly delighted.
It seems the plan is proceeding very smoothly this time, and as long as he secures the spot to enter the First Layer, he could get closer to the Seed of Truth!
"Dad, just agree with him, your daughter really doesn't want... doesn't want to marry randomly like this!" Copper Medicine Yerong immediately acted coquettishly.
In front of others, Copper Medicine Yerong is an Ice Mountain Queen, her face covered in perpetual frost, but before her family, especially her father, the City Lord of Copper Medicine, she is entirely like a little girl, without a trace of frost.
The City Lord of Copper Medicine had deep-set eyes, looking at Wang Xu.
He always felt that this series of events was happening too suddenly.
Especially Tai Xu, whose strength was unbelievably strong.
Obviously, a person of the True Spirit Realm, yet could kick to death a Yun Juan Feng You with strength comparable to the Ancient Spirit Realm!
Moreover, after he killed Yun Juan Feng You, there wasn't the slightest panic on him when he directly came to demand the promised items from them.
Not only that, he decisively chose to give up marrying his daughter to get those items.
Any smart person wouldn't make such a choice; this person is too unusual!
"Okay, I promise you." Despite having countless questions in his heart, the City Lord of Copper Medicine had to admit that even he didn't want to see such an unsightly person together with his daughter, despite this being a world where strength is esteemed, sometimes excessively "horrifying" looks only brought shame to the City Lord of Copper Medicine. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Immediately, the City Lord of Copper Medicine brushed his belt, took out two white bags.
"This bag contains many rare treasures, invaluable, and the other bag contains a secret technique I obtained in the past." The City Lord of Copper Medicine handed the two bags to Wang Xu.
"What about the rest?" Wang Xu knew these two white bags were rare Space Treasures, and their actual contents were not as tiny as they seemed. He took them over and asked.
"This is the passage order; with it, you can freely enter and exit the First Layer." The City Lord of Copper Medicine took out an ancient token, wooden but with a thick Truth Power lingering around it, more intense than Wang Xu's Bone Saber.
"This is the passage order!"
Wang Xu's eyes lit up, joy unspeakable within his heart.
The sooner he entered the First Layer, the sooner he could learn the news on the Seed of Truth, and the sooner he could complete the task and return to Chaos, return to Fengye…
However, it was precisely because of his excitement over obtaining the passage order that his Constant Spirit became unstable, causing changes to his appearance!
"You..."
The face of the City Lord of Copper Medicine changed, and he suddenly reached out a large hand. By the time Wang Xu reacted, it was already too late.
Tss.
The disguise skin on Wang Xu's face was ripped off entirely by the City Lord of Copper Medicine.
And his true appearance was fully revealed in front of everyone.
A resolute and clean face, heroic yet handsome, though not particularly handsome, it was enough to capture the hearts of many women.
"You little rascal, disguised yourself to participate in the marriage contest, seems like you were dead set on just the treasures!"
Seeing Wang Xu's true appearance, the City Lord of Copper Medicine immediately connected all the dots, his eyes gleaming brightly.
He forcibly took back the passage order from Wang Xu's hands, then, with a smile on his face, he said:
"I announce, the winner of this marriage contest is truly this young brother Tai Xu!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xu was stunned, standing there in disbelief.
He finally understood what it means to be too clever for one's own good; this time he indeed messed up! (To be continued.
