Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 633 - 608: Seriously Injured

"What a powerful force!"

"That... what is that!"

"Oh my god! Who is using a secret technique!"

"..."

A giant saber of black mist appeared in the sky, so conspicuous that no one could miss it.

Even from afar in the City Lord's Mansion, where the Copper Medicine City Lord and others were waiting for the groom to arrive, they saw this scene at a glance.

The face of the Copper Medicine City Lord changed dramatically, from a joyous smile to one of thunderous rage in an instant!

"Scoundrel, courting death!!"

Today was the wedding day of the Copper Medicine City Lord's daughter, yet someone dared to make an assassination attempt in the city, and the target was the groom.

Such an act was a blatant slap to the Copper Medicine City Lord's face, how could he not be furious?

Immediately, the Copper Medicine City Lord's figure turned into a phantom, rushing out, and the other city lords present to congratulate also took action.

Meanwhile, standing on a stone platform dozens of meters high, holding a bouquet, and with her face covered by a red bridal veil, Copper Medicine Yerong also felt that overwhelming power between heaven and earth, but it was the gasps and screams of the people below that led her to remove the red veil. When her gaze turned, the giant black mist saber was already one step away from Wang Xu's wooden chariot.

Bang!

Under the massive thunderous roar that resounded through heaven and earth, even the most luxurious wooden carriage couldn't withstand its edge, completely bursting apart.

The Cyan-Horned Fierce Beast carrying the wooden chariot howled in agony, its body splitting in response, with a rain of blood spraying out, forming a small-scale blood shower pouring down.

"Damn!!"

The Copper Medicine City Lord and the other city lords, though possessing Emperor Spirit Realm strength, still couldn't prevent what was happening before them, their eyes nearly burning with fury.

This strike was too fast.

From the moment the massive black mist saber appeared to when it struck down, the entire process was like a flash of lightning, too fast for anyone to react!

Moreover, the black mist figure wielding the giant black mist saber in the sky had already reached the peak of the Ancient Spirit Realm, just one step from the Emperor Spirit Realm, and his full-force strike—how many in Copper Medicine City could avoid it?

"Wow..."

Suddenly, a figure shot out from the billowing dust like an arrow, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood mid-air.

The Copper Medicine City Lord and others were startled, and everyone below was even more astonished.

Even Copper Medicine Yerong stood frozen in place.

They had already recognized that the figure being blown away was none other than Wang Xu from the wooden chariot!

Wang Xu spewed several mouthfuls of fresh blood in succession, making it known that, for beings of the Ganges River, fresh blood is insignificant; even if all the blood drains, life remains as long as the core is intact.

But spitting up these several mouthfuls of fresh blood still indicated that Wang Xu had suffered severe injuries, his face turning as pale as could be!

"The core already has tiny cracks; if I get hit one more time, I will definitely die here on the spot!" Wang Xu roared in anger inside.

He crashed to the ground, rolling for hundreds of meters before forcibly struggling to his feet, sprinting wildly down the street towards the City Lord's Mansion.

At the same time, he clutched a yellow Teleportation Talisman tightly in his hand.

Realizing that a formidable force was attacking him, Wang Xu had already taken out the yellow Teleportation Talisman, intending to transport himself thousands of miles away.

But with only one Teleportation Talisman, which was exceedingly rare, Wang Xu didn't use it directly. Instead, he exerted all his strength to try and withstand the attack.

The result was evident: the force of the strike left Wang Xu completely unable to retaliate.

In the current situation, Wang Xu could only pin his hopes on the Copper Medicine City Lord; with such an incident occurring, he believed the Copper Medicine City Lord would not stand idly by.

However, if the Copper Medicine City Lord truly couldn't make it in time, Wang Xu would have no choice but to crush the yellow Teleportation Talisman to save his own life.

"Hmm?"

The black mist figure in the sky gradually descended but was shocked when he saw Wang Xu was still alive.

This person was well aware of his strength: at the peak of Ancient Spirit Realm and having used an Elixir to enhance the power of a secret technique, in a surprise attack, this strike's force, even against a fellow peak Ancient Spirit Realm expert, would heavily injure them. Killing a little True Spirit Realm fellow could be called overkill!

Yet the reality was entirely unexpected.

This little True Spirit Realm fellow not only survived but could continue advancing with such incredible Body Technique speed!

This kid is a great disaster; if not eliminated, it will become a future threat!

The Snow White Saber in hand flashed again, and the black mist figure aimed at Wang Xu's form, planning to strike again, to finish Wang Xu off thoroughly.

"Where did this scoundrel come from, hand over your life to me!"

Before he could strike a second blow, the Copper Medicine City Lord's roar was already earth-shaking, audible throughout the Copper Medicine City.

A jet-black, iron-like hand grew larger in the wind, becoming gigantic in a blink, fiercely attacking the black mist figure in the sky!

"Damn it." The black mist figure let out an unwilling cold snort, took one glance at the enormous jet-black hand, and descended to the ground, transforming into a black mist, rapidly fleeing, his speed far surpassing Wang Xu's.

"Pursue!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The Copper Medicine City Lord and all the city lords dashed to chase after them.

...

Seeing the black mist figure fleeing, Wang Xu felt a slight sigh of relief in his heart. His speed began to slow down, and he eventually collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted.

He panted heavily, his eyes flickering.

This was the closest Wang Xu had come to death since entering the Ganges Realm, leaving him still filled with lingering fear.

"I've only just arrived in Copper Medicine City, yet someone wants to kill me. If I must speak of enmity, it must be with the Yunjuan family," Wang Xu pondered, "But when did the Yunjuan family become so bold? To attempt assassination in front of the Copper Medicine City Lord?"

This city is named Copper Medicine City, indicating that the Copper Medicine family is the most powerful presence in this city.

Someone dared to challenge the strongest authority; Wang Xu couldn't figure out if the Yunjuan family had truly lost their minds, or if there was a larger conspiracy at play.

Of course, more than these worries, Wang Xu was grateful for his own strength.

The attacker this time was at the peak of the Ancient Spirit Realm. Their full-force attack was terrifying, yet as someone in the True Spirit Realm, Wang Xu managed to completely withstand it without dying, which was nothing short of a miracle.

All of this was thanks to the Secret Technique he had cultivated, "Xiang."

If not for the enhancement of Wang Xu's body by "Xiang," he might have been forced to crush his Teleportation Talisman and escape to an unknown place miles away.

The Teleportation Talisman was Wang Xu's last life-saving trump card; having it was like having an extra life. Therefore, unless he faced absolute death with no way out, Wang Xu would not easily use the Teleportation Talisman.

"Wang Xu, your injuries are not light." At this moment, You Ji's red-robed figure appeared, wearing a sorrowful expression.

Wang Xu immediately checked his core, which was filled with web-like cracks, and some fragments had even completely dissipated.

"With such injuries, it's hard to recover without hundreds of years of recuperation," Wang Xu frowned.

The core is vital to a living being's life; even a minor crack requires a long time to absorb Constant Spirit to gradually heal.

Such injuries for others might take over a thousand years to heal, but for Wang Xu, who was naturally strong in Soul Power, the recovery time was greatly reduced.

Yet even so, a hundred years still seemed too long for Wang Xu.

"Tai Xu Elder is here!"

"Tai Xu Elder!"

At this moment, individuals wearing Copper Medicine family attire rushed over.

After Wang Xu agreed to marry Copper Medicine Yerong, he was given the title of Elder in the Copper Medicine family, but he had the name without the status.

"I'm fine," Wang Xu replied calmly.

"Quick! Quickly escort Tai Xu Elder back to the City Lord's Mansion!" The group didn't dare to delay and carefully escorted Wang Xu to the City Lord's Mansion.

Along the way, many people in Copper Medicine City whispered and pointed at Wang Xu.

No need to ask, they were surely speculating about the reason behind this situation.

...

The wedding was canceled, and the City Lord's Mansion was heavily guarded, not even letting a tiny fly pass by.

"Damn thief!"

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, the Copper Medicine City Lord's face was sullen. His eyes were still full of anger, revealing that the assassin had escaped after they had dispatched over ten city lords yet failed to capture him.

Now, with the groom gravely injured and the wedding unable to proceed, all the other city lords took their leave.

The Copper Medicine City Lord headed straight to Wang Xu's resting room, where the fiery red decorations around him were now glaringly bright.

But when the Copper Medicine City Lord saw Wang Xu lying on the bed, his aura recovering at a clearly perceptible speed, the anger in his eyes softened considerably, replaced by a touch of surprise.

Chasing that assassin had given the Copper Medicine City Lord a better understanding of the assassin's strength.

At the peak of the Ancient Spirit Realm and possessing a unique and powerful Secret Technique, just that strength alone was enough to severely injure anyone below the Emperor Spirit Realm; for a small fry at the True Spirit Realm, it would be effortless to crush them.

But Wang Xu, this tiny True Spirit Realm being, had forcibly withstood that strike!

Not only did he not die, but he was also recovering at an extraordinary speed... Who exactly was this kid?

"Tai Xu, are you alright?" the Copper Medicine City Lord inquired.

"Thanks to the Copper Medicine... no, Father-in-law's blessing, I managed to keep my life," Wang Xu smiled reassuringly. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Indeed, if not for the Copper Medicine City Lord's appearance, that black mist figure would have undoubtedly executed a second strike, killing Wang Xu on the spot.

"It's good that you're fine. Rest assured, daring to provoke Copper Medicine Thunder Roar on my watch, I will certainly get to the bottom of this!" The Copper Medicine City Lord's eyes blazed with fury.

This assassination was like a loud slap on the Copper Medicine City Lord's face. If he did not retaliate, how could he maintain his dignity as a city lord?

"Ye Rong." The Copper Medicine City Lord turned his head and looked at Copper Medicine Yerong, who was sitting at the table.

She had come when Wang Xu was carried into the room. Seeing that Wang Xu had not died and was rapidly recovering, she let out a long sigh of relief.

Wang Xu's death had nothing to do with her, but this act could only be performed by Wang Xu. If he died, it would cause her countless troubles.

"Go to my secret chamber and bring the Returning Dragon Pill," the Copper Medicine City Lord instructed. (To be continued.
