Immortal Starry Sky
Chapter 574 549: Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkeys
Chi Yong and Sha Hu exchanged a glance, and both saw a trace of fear in each other's eyes.
Obviously, the immense pressure Wang Xu exerted on them filled their hearts with dread.
However, Wang Xu's demand for them to hand over all their treasures was something they could never agree to. In this trial, if they truly handed over everything, it would be no different from death; it was as if he was asking for their lives. They wouldn't agree to it no matter what!
"Young brother, your strength is impressive. Today, you don't need to give me any treasures. I, Chi Yong, will cover you to the end!"
Following the situation, the red-skinned man declared righteously.
"Chi Yong... you!"
Sha Hu's face turned ashen.
The moment Wang Xu revealed his strength, he immediately realized what kind of person he had provoked.
This guy in front of him had an aura as profound as "those three monsters"!
The three monsters were a nickname they had given to three immensely powerful individuals in the Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm.
From the word 'monster' alone, you could see how much they dreaded those three.
Yet Sha Hu had actively provoked such an existence. Isn't that a death wish?
"This... friend, I was blind and did not recognize Mount Tai, and I've offended you. I hope you can overlook it... Actually, it was all a misunderstanding, a joke, just a little joke, no need to take it seriously!" Sha Hu forced a smile more hideous than a ghost's wail.
"Do you not understand what I'm saying?"
Wang Xu's eyes flashed with murder, and his tone was as piercing as a chilling wind, "Hand over all your treasures immediately!"
After a period of silence, astonishment ensued.
Wang Xu had come here knowing it was not a harmonious and peaceful place. He intended to use a little violence to make an example, to deter others, and reduce such troubles.
But adhering to the principle of "don't offend if unoffended, " Wang Xu chose to cultivate quietly.
But now, since someone dared to stand out, Wang Xu naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.
"You... you're going too far!"
Chi Yong and Sha Hu trembled in their hearts. Their previously fawning expressions vanished, and their eyes turned vicious, "Together, we have over two hundred Saint Venerables. Even if you were truly powerful, you couldn't possibly defeat us alone!"
Though they said this, they retreated involuntarily.
Someone comparable to the three monsters, how could mere two hundred Saint Venerables fend against them?
Such terrifying existence could wipe out millions of Yellow Sand soldiers, even slay all the Yellow Sand Generals!
Compared to that, even if all of them joined forces, they might not be able to achieve it.
That was the disparity in strength, something numbers couldn't compensate for!
"Oh? Really, then you can try." Wang Xu couldn't be bothered with empty talk, immediately circulating Sacred Qi, prepared to make a move.
"My friend." Suddenly, a loud voice came, and a black-robed man with a Wolf Fang Blade on his back appeared abruptly in front of Wang Xu.
An overwhelming aura emanated, causing all surrounding Saint Venerables to gasp and lower their heads.
"Hail the 'Void Medicine Saint Venerable'!" All of them, including Chi Yong and Sha Hu, shouted in unison.
Wang Xu glanced at this person.
Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm, one step away from the Perfection in Realm Power. As for Power of Laws and Soul Power, there wasn't even a trace of Perfection insight.
"A person like this could be crushed with a flick of a finger." Wang Xu thought to himself.
Void Medicine Saint Venerable was but an ant to Wang Xu.
However, for Chi Yong, Sha Hu, and the present Saint Venerables, the Void Medicine Saint Venerable was undeniably a "monster," able to clash with millions of Yellow Sand soldiers and even kill several Yellow Sand Generals, leaving unfazed... This strength was completely above theirs.
"What business do you have?" Wang Xu asked.
"This is my territory."
Void Medicine Saint Venerable wore an uncanny smile as he approached Wang Xu, "Trying to snatch my subordinates' treasures on my own turf is quite disrespectful to me."
Sha Hu, Chi Yong, and the other Saint Venerables immediately gathered behind the Void Medicine Saint Venerable.
Gone was their fear; in its place was overflowing arrogance.
Haha, with the Void Medicine Saint Venerable, one of the three great monsters, here, no matter how great your powers are, you can do nothing to us!
"Oh... so this is your territory."
Wang Xu feigned surprise, then his gaze hardened, "If that's the case, hand over your treasures as well, with no reservations, or else today you won't leave here alive."
"Ludicrous ant, who do you think you are to talk to the Void Medicine Saint Venerable like that? Do you have a death wish?"
"Tired of living? Watch out; when the Void Medicine Saint Venerable makes a move, you'll be scared out of your wits!"
"Void Medicine Saint Venerable, this person is too arrogant, kill him!"
Suddenly, the crowd jeered.
"Void Medicine, are you bullying newcomers again?"
"Why still maintain such a bad habit?"
At this moment, two more booming voices were heard, and two figures with overwhelming auras suddenly appeared beside Void Medicine Saint Venerable.
"Red Demon Saint Venerable!"
"Chi Hu Saint Venerable!"
One of the newcomers was clad in a red robe, his eyes covered in dense red spots, as though afflicted by pestilence.
The other was burly, with a head like a tiger beast, and his emerald eyes held a mocking look.
"Haha, the three monster Saint Venerables gather, this guy is in for it!"
"Isn't he! Daring to provoke the Void Medicine Saint Venerable, really doesn't know the meaning of death!"
The group of Saint Venerables seemed eager for chaos.
When Void Medicine Saint Venerable heard Wang Xu's words, he laughed in anger: "It seems you need a little suffering to understand what 'rules' mean!"
"I indeed don't know, would you like to teach me? I'm at your service." Wang Xu smiled slightly.
"Void Medicine, I can help take care of him for you." Chi Hu Saint Venerable strode forward, his green eyes fixed on Wang Xu with bloodthirsty intent.
"Chi Hu, don't use too much force, leave him alive for me to thoroughly torment." The Red Demon Saint Venerable glowed red, the dense red spots on his skin seemed alive, moving across his body.
"No need, Chi Hu."
Void Medicine Saint Venerable declined the offer, "Since the provocation is against me, naturally I should be the one to settle it."
Then he looked at Wang Xu.
"Boy, you can still regret it now. Hand over all your treasures and sever your head, and I might give you a way out," Void Medicine Saint Venerable said softly, "Consider it... like I'm sparing a dog."
"Haha!!"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Wang Xu simply shook his head.
It seems this time, he cannot hold back.
...
From a distant void, Lu You's figure appeared, observing the confrontation between Wang Xu and Void Medicine Saint Venerable from a safe place within the totem.
"Is this kid driving himself into a corner? Never seen someone so reckless."
In Lu You's view, Wang Xu's series of actions could only mean one thing - he's courting death!
The three monster Saint Venerables were the cream of the crop among thousands of Saint Venerables, aside from those at the Ancestor Realm, their power was the strongest.
Wang Xu, a newcomer at the Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm, no matter how strong, how could he be a match against the three monster Saint Venerables?
"Such a predictable battle, really uninteresting."
Lu You lost interest in watching further; after all, the outcome was already decided.
However, just as he was about to look away, Lu You's mouth dropped slightly, pupils constricted sharply as an unbelievable scene unfolded—
"Now... who actually resembles a dog more?"
Wang Xu asked the Void Medicine Saint Venerable with a mocking face.
At this moment, besides the howling of the storm, there was no other sound, the silence made even the sound of breathing particularly grating.
Sha Hu and Chi Yong sat paralyzed on the ground, eyes wide with extreme horror, as if witnessing the most absurd, unimaginable scene.
All the surrounding Saint Venerable Realm cultivators were petrified, dumbfounded.
Even those at the Ancestor Realm, who had never paid attention to this place, now directed their horrified gaze over.
"This... this..." Lu You was too shocked to speak.
The Void Medicine Saint Venerable was pinned on the ground by Wang Xu, his lower body already a bloody mess, turned to powder, a river of blood flowing.
And with terrified eyes, he looked at Wang Xu, opening and closing his mouth without making a sound.
Not far from him.
Chi Hu Saint Venerable's hulking figure was pierced through the forehead by Void Medicine Saint Venerable's Wolf Fang Blade, nailed to the ground, with wide open green eyes filled only with fear, his life force completely extinguished, utterly dissipated.
On the other side, the Red Demon Saint Venerable's tendons and bones were powdered, a bloody mess, leaving only a head soaked in blood, full of despair.
Like Chi Hu Saint Venerable, the Red Demon Saint Venerable too died on the spot, not an ounce of vitality detectable.
Among the three, only Void Medicine Saint Venerable was still alive, yet his demise was but a breath away.
"I told you, if you handed over all your treasures, I would spare you, but you chose the path of death..."
Wang Xu's voice echoed quietly, "This was your choice, blame no one else."
"No need to plead for breath anymore, be freed."
With a grasp from Wang Xu, Void Medicine Saint Venerable's life force was completely extinguished.
The three called the monster Saint Venerables perished in a blink of an eye at Wang Xu's hands.
Ants.
They were nothing but humble ants.
"You Ji, the rest is up to you." Wang Xu said.
"Haha, the souls of cultivators are the tastiest, it's a feast!" You Ji laughed heartily as he rushed forward.
Flames surged, further shocking the crowd, while Wang Xu casually walked to Sha Hu and Chi Yong's side.
"Thump!"
Seeing this, the two knelt to the ground without a word, "Senior... forgive us... forgive us! You magnanimous one, please spare us! Our lives are worthless, please let us go!"
Thump thump thump!
The two kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy.
Wang Xu coldly looked on.
With a wave of his hand, they shot out like cannonballs, and when they landed, they were completely devoid of life. (To be continued.
