“Get out of my way!”
Shadow Crow was both shocked and enraged. A streak of black light shot forth like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, stabbing straight toward Little White’s face.
It moved so fast that it tore through the air, carrying the sharp, deadly immortal essence of a Ninth-Heaven Void Immortal!
Shadow Crow could tell that Little White was only in the early stage of the Void Immortal Realm, and that his immortal essence had yet to be fully transformed. He intended to force Little White back with a single strike and seize the chance to escape.
However, when faced with an attack powerful enough to severely injure an ordinary peak Void Immortal, Little White merely clenched his right fist and threw a simple, direct punch!
There was no glow of immortal essence around his fist. Instead, an explosive force of raw, savage physical strength erupted with terrifying power!
Faint patterns resembling dark golden dragon scales flashed beneath his skin.
Boom!!!
Fist and black light collided!
That razor-sharp streak of black light was actually knocked aside and dimmed by Little White’s punch!
Little White’s body swayed slightly, while the bluestone floor beneath his feet cracked into a web of fine lines.
The recoil forced Shadow Crow to stop. How could this black-clad brat possess such terrifying physical strength?!
Inside the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, all the diners were stunned. They hurriedly rose and retreated, clearing a large space as they stared at the sudden clash in disbelief.
“What’s going on? Why did they suddenly start fighting?”
“Who’s that shadow?”
“Was he after that white-robed young master? Could it be because of the immortal stones?”
Everyone began discussing the matter, most of them completely bewildered. The conflict had erupted so abruptly that they could not make heads or tails of it.
The shadow’s movements were strange and his aura elusive. Many cultivators could not discern his true strength for the moment, much less identify his origins.
However, not everyone was unfamiliar with him.
At the top of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion was a quiet chamber that was never open to outsiders. It was decorated in a simple yet elegant style and offered a sweeping view of the entire city.
A middle-aged man in a plain, refined brocade robe stood by the window, his aura deep and unfathomable.
He was Liu Tingfeng, the owner of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion and one of the few low-profile experts in Sunset City.
His cultivation had already reached the consummate Ninth Heaven of the True Immortal Realm, and he was only one step away from the Earth Immortal Realm.
His gaze pierced through the floors and walls, taking in everything that happened on the third floor.
When he saw the figure that had burst from the shadows and been stopped by Little White, a trace of understanding and disgust flashed through Liu Tingfeng’s eyes.
“Shadow Crow—the dog raised by the Four Seas Trading Company, most skilled at concealment and tailing people. As expected, they were the first to lose patience and make a move.”
Liu Tingfeng muttered under his breath, his tone carrying a hint of disdain.
“They’ve set their sights on this white-robed young master, who spends immortal stones as though they were nothing. The Four Seas Trading Company has grown more and more brazen over the years. They actually dare to start a fight in my Drunken Immortal Pavilion.”
Yet he did not immediately step in to stop them.
For one thing, although he was not afraid of the Four Seas Trading Company, the company was ultimately connected to the Immortal Palace. He did not wish to fall out with them lightly.
For another, he wanted to see exactly what kind of trump cards this white-robed young master possessed—someone who could casually take out immortal stones to settle a bill and remain composed even when ambushed.
After being forced to a halt by Little White’s punch, Shadow Crow grew even more anxious. His identity had been exposed, so he had to end the battle as quickly as possible!
His figure blurred once more. Rather than clash head-on with Little White, he transformed into a drifting plume of black smoke, attempting to use his superior movement technique and cultivation in immortal essence to circle around Little White and rush straight out the window.
“Don’t even think about leaving!”
Little White possessed an astonishing battle instinct. Although he was not as skilled as his opponent in manipulating immortal essence, he made up for it with his quick reactions, tremendous strength, and formidable physique.
His fists and feet moved in broad, powerful arcs, kicking up howling blasts of wind as he clung tightly to Shadow Crow and refused to let him escape.
“Useless! You can’t even deal with a Void Immortal?!”
An impatient shout came from the doorway.
Before the words had even faded, several powerful yet carefully concealed auras swept into the third floor like a cold wind.
The leader was a tall man draped in a large black cloak. The hood obscured most of his face, leaving only the hard lines of his lower jaw visible.
His aura was heavy and restrained. He had astonishingly reached the Seventh Heaven of the True Immortal Realm!
Behind him followed four similarly dressed cultivators with sinister, frigid auras.
The fluctuations faintly emanating from two of them had also reached the Third Heaven of the True Immortal Realm, while the other two were at the peak of the Void Immortal Realm.
All five had concealed their true auras and appearances through secret techniques or magical artifacts.
Just standing there, they radiated a murderous aura that warned all living things to keep their distance.
These were the people sent by the Four Seas Trading Company. They had originally planned to quietly search for a suitable opportunity to strike without alerting anyone.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they approached the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, they sensed Shadow Crow’s aura engaged in a fierce struggle with someone inside. They had been exposed far too quickly!
The plan had changed. They could wait no longer!
A fierce glint flashed through Tu Lie’s eyes. He no longer bothered to conceal himself and directly led his men into the open.
Since they had already made their move, they would finish it quickly!
As long as they captured their target and cleaned up the evidence, who would know that the Four Seas Trading Company was responsible?
“Brat.” Tu Lie’s hoarse voice rang out as he looked toward Gu Changge, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent and greed.
“I’ll give you two choices.
“First, kneel down, hand over all your immortal stones and treasures, then cripple your own cultivation. I might consider sparing your worthless life and sending you to the mines to waste away the rest of your days.
“Second, I’ll personally search your soul and refine your spirit, tear out your tendons, and strip off your skin. I’ll let you learn what it means to be unable to live or die!”
As he spoke, the pressure of a Seventh-Heaven True Immortal erupted without restraint.
It was like a massive mountain made tangible, crashing down upon Gu Changge and enveloping the entire third floor.
The air seemed to solidify in an instant, becoming so thick that it was difficult to breathe.
The diners who had still been watching and whispering moments earlier all turned deathly pale.
Those with weaker cultivation even groaned and staggered backward as their blood and qi churned violently within them. They were nearly forced to kneel.
One after another, gazes filled with fear, pity, or schadenfreude locked onto the white-robed figure who remained seated by the window.
“A Seventh-Heaven True Immortal! That might is terrifying!”
“That white-robed young master… What a pity. He should have known better than to flaunt his wealth.”
“He’s far too young and reckless. Unless he has some powerful backing, possessing such treasures will only bring disaster…”
Under the terrifying pressure, the murmurs were almost inaudible, but their meaning was perfectly clear.
No one believed Gu Changge had any chance.
Even Liu Tingfeng, in the quiet chamber on the top floor, slowly shook his head and sighed inwardly.
At last, Gu Changge slowly turned around and faced Tu Lie directly.
His gaze was calm, even carrying a hint of boredom.
“Are you finished?”
Gu Changge’s tone held a touch of disdain.
Tu Lie froze for a moment before flying into a rage.
“You’re courting death! Take him down!”
The two Third-Heaven True Immortals behind him moved at his command. Like a pair of ghosts, they pounced on Gu Changge from either side.
Facing the assault of two True Immortals, Gu Changge finally moved.
He merely lifted his right hand and casually pressed it through the air toward the two attackers.
The motion was effortless, like brushing dust from his sleeve.
Boom!!!
An indescribable and incomprehensible pressure descended with a thunderous roar, as though it had originated from heaven and earth itself!
The two Third-Heaven True Immortals had already reached midair, savage smiles still twisting their faces. Their bodies suddenly froze!
The momentum of their charge came to an abrupt halt. The surging immortal essence around them collapsed instantly, like air escaping from a punctured balloon.
Then, beneath Tu Lie’s suddenly constricted pupils, the two True Immortal experts were sent hurtling backward at a speed even greater than that of their charge!
They smashed through the third-floor doors and windows of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, constructed with material containing refined black iron, and crashed directly onto the street outside.
Thud! Thud!
Two muffled impacts rang out, sending chills through everyone who heard them.
The solid ground had been smashed into two human-shaped craters, with spiderweb cracks spreading several yards in every direction.
Two True Immortal experts lay like two heaps of mud, deeply embedded at the bottoms of the craters. Blood streamed from their eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouths; their bones and tendons were shattered, and their immortal energy had dispersed.
Only a single breath remained in each of them. They could not even cry out. Their eyes held nothing but boundless fear and bewilderment.
What had happened?
They had only felt an irresistible, incomprehensible force bearing down upon them. After that, they knew nothing.
The third floor fell silent in an instant.
So quiet that one could hear a pin drop!
