Capítulo 1095: Chapter 96: Swaying Wind Chis
“…Huh?”
Did he just die?
Did I kill Butterfly Lovers with a single punch?
No way, right?
How is that possible?
This is the Yujing Twelve Floors, an expert from the Human List!
Xu Shu’s expression froze abruptly, he felt as if he’d hit cotton with all his strength, completely unable to believe this result.
After executing a series of operations, his real intention was to use his most powerful force to suppress the enemy’s imminent violent counterattack.
Instead of stopping the counterattack, he ended up pressing out the old man’s brain matter and ashes.
“Wait, maybe he’s pretending to be dead!”
“He’s trying to launch a sneak attack on !”
Xu Shu felt extrely cautious, imdiately activating “Jingwei Filling the Sea”, sweeping his gaze around with heightened vigilance.
Because the old man previously appeared like a ghost, coupled with his supposedly high-class poem recitation that hinted at being from the Human List, Xu Shu had a deep impression of him, suspecting that the old man might be using a similar battle strategy as he did just now.
Pretending to be killed on the surface, while secretly hiding and sending out an assassin!
Very likely! After all, experts from the Human List are all old and cunning; Wu Liuzhi’s situation explained everything perfectly!
Xu Shu activated his “Spiritual Vision”, searching everywhere for traces of the enemy.
A minute passed.
Two minutes passed.
Three minutes…
Ten whole minutes passed.
Xu Shu still saw no trace of the enemy.
In the night, only the anguished cries of innocent town residents affected by the disaster could be heard.
In his Spiritual Vision, the spirituality belonging to the old man rapidly detached and completely dissipated.
“…”
“He’s really dead?”
“No way… I still feel sothing’s off…”
Xu Shu’s expression was peculiar, even at this point, he dared not be careless in any way.
After brief contemplation, he deactivated “Jingwei Filling the Sea”, and instead deployed the seven-layer shield of “Iron Wall”, cautiously inching closer step by step.
It took him a full five minutes to move from the edge to the old man’s position, resembling a snail relocating its ho.
During the entire process, the old man’s head remained in a state of deathbed serenity, never moving even slightly.
Old man’s relics consisted only of a belt with hidden mysterious light, and a software.
“Could this be…” Xu Shu skeptically picked it up.
In the next second, a stream of golden liquid erged from inside, flowed along his body, into his internal archives, and — whoosh!
“Ah! He really is gone, huh?!”
Xu Shu gasped, extrely astonished.
This golden liquid was all too familiar; it was the information feed from the Upgrade Drive.
As the saying goes, when soone gets into a car accident, they might not die, but if their shoes fall off, they’re definitely dead; similarly, if an Upgrade Drive falls off a Transcendent, there’s no doubt they’re truly dead.
“But, could an expert from the Human List really be this weak?”
Xu Shu felt it was surreal, hurriedly activating his drive to check the information on the screen.
[You have defeated/killed another registered Transcendent. You can freely choose whether to upload your battle record to the Upgrade Network. Note: Outstanding records might earn you a spot on the battle strength rankings, and rankings may reward the listed individuals.]
[You have picked up another Transcendent’s Upgrade Drive. The identity information has been fully scanned: Yan Qidao (Geng Louzi), Third-tier Master.]
[Would you like to upload your battle record? Your current ranking: 360th Human List, Trickster.]
“Hmm? Third-tier Middle Stage, not Mid-stage perfection, only reached level 13…”
“Damn, gave such a fright, I thought Butterfly Lovers themselves were chasing down!”
After discovering the real identity of the old man, Xu Shu suddenly realized and spat in frustration.
No wonder the old man’s skill level was far below his expectations; the mystery is solved.
Turns out he was just an ordinary director, not the renowned Human List expert Butterfly Lovers.
Though he was a Third-tier Middle Stage expert, his Curse Seal was of blue quality, with a 16 16 13 configuration, still at a “level 45” in cultivation.
But currently, Xu Shu at Third-stage Early Stage had already reached level 47 in cultivation, a full two levels higher than Geng Louzi at the middle stage!
Moreover, Xu Shu, thinking he was facing a top-notch expert, really did give it his all, using every ounce of strategy.
On the other hand, for whatever reason, Xu Shu found that Geng Louzi was sowhat underestimating his opponent.
With one side going all-out and the other being complacent, the outco was naturally inevitable.
The old man let his guard down, got successfully ambushed by Xu Shu, immobilized for three seconds, and was eliminated on the spot!
In the entire battle process, Geng Louzi didn’t even have a chance to strike again, proving to be a typical case of a single mistake leading to eternal regret.
Had it not been for this, how could he with “Grandmaster” skills in close combat specialization be so incompetent?
At the very least, he could have lasted two more rounds.
“On reconsideration, doesn’t this na sound sowhat familiar?”
Xu Shu rubbed Narrow Sleeve Guanyin, releasing the power of the Evil Spirit Army to tidy up the scene and destroy evidence.
After reminiscing for a while, he smacked his forehead, rembering.
That “Geng Louzi” is exactly the director of those frontier districts in the wasteland’s west, like Jin Baoshan and Xinglong Manor!
Xu Shu still rembered when he first joined Penglai, encountering the blatantly corrupt Living Cultivators under Geng Louzi’s command guarding those areas. After exterminating them, he even earned the nickna “Heroic Grass Python”.
Recalling now, it all seed like a long ti ago, but in reality, it was less than a month ago.
“Strange, why did this old guy co to Butterfly Lovers Departnt’s area to act as the leader?”
