"Ugh... let go, ouch~ cough cough!"
The woman was being held by the neck in mid-air by Xu Shu, wailing and trembling as she cried.
The once formidable deanor that could destroy the world was utterly gone.
"..."
Xu Shu’s expression froze on his face.
Deathly silence.
A deathly silence where you could hear a pin drop.
Amid the billowing dust, Xu Shu looked at the cloaked woman he was holding like a chick, and then turned to look at Shui Longyin, who had a similar ghost-seeing expression, and froze.
This... this isn’t a Demigod?
Did I just capture a Demigod alive with a slap?
How the hell is that possible?
Unable to comprehend, he licked his lips and turned back to ask Shui Longyin: "Did sothing just happen?"
Shui Longyin brushed the dust off his face: "You’re asking ? I want to ask you! What did you do?"
"I..."
Xu Shu hesitated to speak.
And as that extrely strange panic feeling pressed on his heart subsided, his reason instantly returned.
He raised the crazy woman with a broken neck, but not dead, taking a closer look for a mont: "Was it you?"
The woman forcefully turned her head upright, forcing out a flattering smile: "Um... Sir, I was wrong, I’m sorry, please forgive , boo hoo hoo... I didn’t realize you were so powerful~"
"... Damn."
Xu Shu’s mouth twitched.
Clearly, he sensed earlier that the other party was as strong as a Demigod, completely unstoppable.
Turns out she was so weak.
Looking back now and thinking carefully, he found there were many problems earlier.
Although the realm was invisible, many things, like her door-breaking power, movent speed, etc., could be roughly used to judge the strength.
But just now, his mind was in chaos, shaking with fear, although he resisted later under the "unyielding will," it belonged to the ultimate repression explosion, very irrational, abnormal.
So...
Is it a ntal intimidation skill?
This crazy woman’s true strength, currently speaking, is estimated not to exceed a First-rank.
But she could actually intimidate my Third-rank "Dragon Elephant"!
This is far more perverse than the oppression that cos with my [Iron Armor] Curse Seal’s "awe"!
Had it not been for the innate "elephant spine" unyielding will resistance, Xu Shu figured, he might be hiding in a corner by now, while the woman frantically clawed at his back muscles.
Well, judging from her actual combat power, she probably couldn’t break through my defense, and fighting her would be much like getting a massage...
Wait, this intimidation, that can capture the heart and soul, making people afraid to resist, why does it feel oddly familiar?
Have I seen it sowhere?
Where was it...
Thinking and thinking, Xu Shu suddenly beca alert, frowned, and started pondering.
Monts later, his tight frown gradually relaxed.
He rembered!
Back when in the legend [Abyss Solo], he encountered such creatures with generally modest power but terrifying levels of oppression.
That was the "beggar demon" once residing on the 18th level of the abyss.
Their true strength was very very poor, but they had an eerily powerful presence, using only this oppression to firmly dominate the abyss’s bottom layer, suppressing all other demon races.
The bizarre ability that woman demonstrated earlier wasn’t it precisely the "Emperor Engine"! (Note: Volu 2, Chapter 157)
Of course, there were certain differences, like no "thump thump thump" heartbeats driving it, instead using a bizarre laughter, but in essence, it’s the sa...
With these speculations, Xu Shu gradually relaxed.
He thought a demigod-level monster was really going to attack him!
Damn, scared the early-stage little Dragon Elephant to death!
Only then did Xu Shu notice that, in fact, a row of prompt subtitles had appeared in the void next to him.
It’s just that he was too tense just now to notice.
The content on it was:
[Oh no! What’s in front of you is a mid-first-rank Fearful God follower!]
[What to do, run away? Can you escape?]
[You lanted life’s unfairness, releasing all your energy, spirit, and mind, delivering a fierce punch.]
[Oops! You inadvertently snapped her neck, her head bending backward, narrowly escaping death.]
[Your powerful display of strength terrified her, she hastened to express submission to you, no doubt, you, Third-rank Xu Longxiang, a master of over-ranking combat!]
Huh?
Fearful God follower?
It’s not called sothing like XX demon?
But just from the na, with "Fear" and "Terror," it is quite fitting...
Xu Shu felt a slight puzzlent, but it wasn’t the ti to think about it now.
He scrutinized the crazy woman again, his gaze sharp, and asked: "Quickly, tell , where is the treasury your group is guarding! If you don’t say, I’ll kill you!"
According to Shui Longyin, the Lantern Boatman is the Guardian of the [Wulaoxuan Sect], protecting the ruin’s treasury.
Thinking of that treasury, at least containing a "complete divinity" and possibly higher-grade treasures, Xu Shu’s heart fervently burned.
However.
Upon hearing his question.
The woman confusedly asked back: "Sir, what treasury are you talking about?"
Xu Shu froze: "You don’t know? Bullshit you don’t know, aren’t you the Lantern Boatman?"
The woman, afraid yet bewildered: "Lantern Boatman? What Boatman... Sir, could you be more clear?"
"You’re not the Lantern Boatman, would you wear this outfit? Playing dumb, huh? Not going to say?" Xu Shu flared up, squeezing her neck tightly, but didn’t dare to squeeze too hard, afraid of killing her.
"No, I, I don’t know, I really don’t know~" the woman cried out wronged but didn’t seem very afraid of pain.
