Chapter 851: Chapter 854: Special Substance?
Liang Yu didn’t act imdiately upon seeing Xia Liu, as he didn’t want to expose himself under the caras.
Even though he possessed so power, there was no guarantee that soone wouldn’t spread the news widely.
At that point, even if Li Bai tried to protect him, the Warrior Association might not let him off the hook.
In public areas, without specific reasons, using your cultivation is prohibited.
This is practically the highest command in Harbor City.
Unless you truly have a death wish, it’s better to stay in a private room or head out to the countryside to use your power.
Now that Xia Liu had entered the room, there wouldn’t be any issues.
But now it raised the question of how to deal with the current situation.
Liang Yu’s identity was rather special. If discovered, there would certainly be plenty of backlash.
Although he didn’t care, Zhuge Yingtian wouldn’t be able to bear it.
Moreover, it was evident that Zhuge Yingtian seed to have so old connection with Xia Liu.
“Bro, you were also there when I called him earlier. I told him to co to Southern Wharf!”
Seeing Xia Liu, Liang Chao’s legs nearly gave out.
This guy had taken down more than a dozen retired Special Forces soldiers.
And when staring down the barrel of a gun, he showed no fear whatsoever.
If Liang Yu weren’t here, he might have already dropped to his knees.
“Interesting. To be able to track
down here, you’re clearly not ordinary.”
Liang Yu seed to have figured things out: Xia Liu was definitely no lone wolf.
Behind him was likely a powerful organization.
He had co from the mainland, and the story about searching for his wife and child was probably a lie—he must have ulterior motives.
“I’m quite straightforward, but as for the two of you, have you lived all these years like animals? You really have the audacity to pull off anything, don’t you?”
Xia Liu’s cold gaze fell on the two of them, his aura entirely undiminished despite being outnumbered.
“Ha! What right do you have to lecture us? Getting close to Guo Man, I bet you have your own tricks as well.”
Liang Yu shook his head in disdain. “I know your background very well. Retired Special Forces? A tank operator? King of Soldiers? The Liuhai Military District? I’ve exchanged notes there several tis, and there’s no record of such a code na.”
“So you’re one of us. You should’ve said so earlier. I’ll finish dealing with Guo Man and let you partake in the fun too.”
Liang Chao smirked maliciously. “Too bad your only fate now is death!”
“You despicable wretch. I was planning to let you die slowly before, but now I see I should’ve ended you sooner.”
Xia Liu regretted not increasing the Earth Spirit Energy dosage earlier. If he had, Liang Chao would’ve been dead within five days.
“You dog…”
“Brother, don’t waste your anger on a dead man. It’s not worth it.”
Just as Liang Chao was about to lash out, Liang Yu interrupted him.
“Last ti you got lucky. If Zhuge Yingtian hadn’t protected you, your grave might already have weathered a few storms. And if things unfold here today, you might not even have a grave at all.”
As Liang Yu spoke, an aura quietly emanated from him.
Instantly, the oppressive energy of an Earth-Rank Primary-Level Martial Artist engulfed the entire room.
Because it wasn’t directed specifically, Liang Chao rely collapsed onto the floor.
Otherwise, he might’ve been gasping for air and on the verge of passing out.
Xia Liu, on the other hand, showed no change in expression.
The only emotions on his face were coldness and ruthlessness.
“As expected, you have sothing special that can nullify a Martial Artist’s oppressive force.”
This ti, Liang Yu was certain.
Despite having no visible cultivation, Xia Liu must be carrying so kind of special artifact.
If he could obtain that artifact, it would be a huge boon to him.
Nullifying a Martial Artist’s oppressive force—
That was practically a Heaven-Defying Divine Artifact.
If he faced an opponent of the sa rank who couldn’t use their oppressive aura, he’d have the upper hand in terms of montum.
In short, an artifact like that would allow him to challenge opponents of higher ranks!
“I’ll give you a chance. Hand over the item that nullifies oppressive force, and I’ll spare your life.”
“Brother, this…”
Liang Chao grew anxious.
If Xia Liu didn’t die, then he himself would die soon enough. With Xia Liu’s skills, killing him would take less than a second.
“The item you’re talking about—I don’t have it.”
“Impossible! Without a special artifact, how could you resist a Martial Artist’s oppressive force?”
Liang Yu couldn’t believe it. This was his first ti encountering soone without cultivation who could withstand such pressure.
If Xia Liu truly didn’t have anything, then there was only one explanation for his immunity to oppressive force.
He must be a High-Rank Martial Artist!
But Xia Liu didn’t emit any energy.
So he couldn’t possibly be a Martial Artist.
“Have you ever heard the saying, ‘There’s always soone stronger, and always another sky beyond the one you know?'”
Xia Liu said softly.
“Tch! So what if I’ve heard it? Are you claiming to be one of those celestial beings? Even if you’re immune to oppressive force, can you withstand my power?”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As soon as Liang Yu finished speaking, his figure blurred.
The space filled with countless sounds of air being torn apart.
Then, he slamd his palm against Xia Liu’s body!
Thud!
The impact sounded heavy and muffled, as if Liang Yu had struck a piece of extraterrestrial rock.
His attack didn’t even make a dent.
“You…”
He slowly raised his head, his gaze fixed in shock on Xia Liu, who was half a head taller than him.
“Completely unfazed? Is the strength of an Earth-Rank Primary-Level Martial Artist so pitiful?”
Xia Liu cast his eyes down coldly, delivering a ruthless taunt.
“What?! You can discern my exact cultivation level?”
Liang Yu, snapping back to his senses, retreated several steps.
Facing soone who could pinpoint his cultivation level directly, he knew it was best to keep his distance!
Seeing Liang Yu’s expression change, Liang Chao froze as well.
He could sense Xia Liu’s terrifying presence—it was far more horrifying than he’d imagined.
“So what if you know? So what if you don’t? What I despise most about people like you is your disregard for others’ lives, your arrogant sense of superiority. Have you ever considered that, in soone else’s eyes, you yourself might just be a worthless speck of dust?”
“Hmph! Brother, he’s just bluffing. That strike of yours probably shattered his bones already.”
Seeing Liang Yu tremble, Liang Chao scoffed.
“Exactly! You still don’t emit any energy—you’re definitely not a Martial Artist! A lowly creature is still lowly. You’ve successfully provoked my anger, and today you’ll die for it!”
Liang Yu snapped back, growing increasingly convinced that Xia Liu was only putting on airs.
How could a Martial Artist lack any form of detectable energy?
If Xia Liu were a true expert, they shouldn’t even be able to stay standing within ten ters of him.
“Very well. I wonder what kind of death sentence you’ll use to finish
off?”
Xia Liu smiled faintly. It had been too long.
He hadn’t exercised for far too long.
Today was the perfect ti to move a little.
“I have a hundred ways to kill you. First, I’ll disable all your limbs, tie you up, and let you witness how Guo Man and those two Oceanic Horses are utterly ravaged!”
“Hmm, that does sound brutal. To desecrate what I hold dear right in front of —you’re gutsy. Very gutsy.”
“If you’re ready, then don’t die too easily.”
“If you can’t kill
today, then you have no face left to continue living…”
With a smile, Xia Liu activated his Spirit Formula, and in an instant, an elegant, ethereal energy enveloped the entire room…
