Today You Will Die Here

Boom!

A black qi, like a gust of winter wind, surged toward Wu Tian's body.

It carried within it a wave of bone-chilling cold.

Seeing this, Wu Tian was frightened and immediately retreated, quickly erupting with his own black qi.

All of Fu Jinyu's qi was absorbed by Wu Tian's power.

Whoosh!

Wu Tian quickly sidestepped, flying out from amidst Fu Jinyu's qi.

But the remaining qi still blasted the tables and chairs nearby into splinters. Just as it was about to strike the high platform, Xiang Teng stepped forward.

Green qi expanded instantly, forming a massive spherical barrier that shielded the platform.

Rumble!

Fu Jinyu's qi slammed against the barrier and gradually dissipated.

Xu Mu stood with his arms crossed, observing Wu Tian's technique the entire time.

He had been curious about the mechanics of this technique before.

Now, seeing it in action, some guesses formed in his mind.

That being, the amount of qi the other party could absorb was definitely limited.

Otherwise, he could have just stood still and absorbed all of Fu Jinyu's attacks.

Why rush to dodge to the side to avoid the subsequent assault?

Looking at the destruction around them, Xiang Huo's face turned extremely grim.

"Fu Jinyu! You're asking for death! Daring to make a move at the Patriarch's banquet, you're slapping the face of our Xiangliu Clan!"

Xiang Huo pointed at Fu Jinyu and growled.

In the distance, Wu Tian's expression was also gloomy. This Fu Jinyu was truly deserving of death.

Making a move so brazenly in front of all these people.

"Damn it!"

Wu Tian cursed angrily, "Fu Jinyu! You can't tell good from bad! I was clearly trying to help you!"

"You help me? You think I'm a fool? I think this whole farce is because of you!"

Fu Jinyu sneered, "Just because of trash like Xiang Huo, he dares to think of marrying me? Is he not afraid I'll cut his head off!"

Xu Mu was astonished from the sidelines. How did Fu Jinyu's intelligence suddenly take a leap forward?

Was this the Little Fool he knew?

In the distance, Xiang Huo narrowed his eyes. Fu Jinyu had actually hit the mark. If Wu Tian hadn't brought it up, they would never have considered marrying Fu Jinyu in the first place.

Paper couldn't wrap fire. If he truly married Fu Jinyu, one thing would inevitably be exposed.

That was, that it was Fu Cheng who had spent a great treasure to bribe him and another expert to ambush Fu Jinyu.

Fu Cheng had promised that if Fu Jinyu was killed and he became king of the Tianyao Clan, the treasures gifted to the Xiangliu Clan would double in the future.

Xiang Huo naturally agreed. In his eyes, Fu Jinyu was just a brat.

At the time, he was already at the late Tuofan stage, and the other expert was a pinnacle at the perfected Tuofan stage.

The two of them had ganged up on her and only managed to severely injure Fu Jinyu, and even then Xiang Huo was counterattacked and badly wounded himself.

If it had been just him alone, he'd likely have been killed by Fu Jinyu.

For experts, they could identify each other just by seeing the techniques used.

If he really married Fu Jinyu, he couldn't exactly go his whole life without fighting in front of her.

The moment he used a technique or skill, Fu Jinyu would definitely recognize it.

With this woman's temper, she would eventually kill him.

"Fu Jinyu! You're truly despicable. I see you hold our Xiangliu Clan in complete disregard. In that case, your Tianyao Clan has no reason to continue existing."

Xiang Huo's gaze swept the surroundings, "Fellow clansmen, Fu Jinyu has no respect for authority. I ask you to step forward and kill her. Whoever kills her, I'll share half the treasures on this platform with them!"

But everyone present just looked at each other, with no one making the first move.

They all knew of Fu Jinyu's strength. This woman had the ability to fight above her level.

"No one's stepping up? Are you all somehow allied with the Tianyao Clan?"

Xiang Teng then let out a cold laugh, "In that case, I'll wipe you all out together!"

The myriad other races around them wore increasingly grim expressions.

"Since none of you are willing to make the first move, I'll lead the charge!"

Wu Tian was the first to launch toward Fu Jinyu.

He had now completely given up on her. This woman had already fallen under Xu Mu's spell.

"Die!"

Wu Tian leaped high into the air, raised his hand, and pressed downward. A massive black claw descended from above.

Fu Jinyu's long hair suddenly began to flutter.

Boom!

Her form flickered, and in an instant she appeared right in front of Wu Tian, less than a meter away.

Wu Tian's eyes snapped wide open. He swiftly attacked, only to find that the Fu Jinyu before him was just an afterimage.

The real her had flashed behind Wu Tian.

The black sword in her hand was about to slash at his neck.

"So fast! This woman has reached the Pojie stage!"

Li Poshan's voice trembled with panic. He immediately took control of Wu Tian's body.

Boom!

A golden radiance erupted from Wu Tian.

Crack!

Fu Jinyu's blade held no mercy, slicing straight toward his neck.

Her black sword struck against the golden light.

Li Poshan didn't fight Fu Jinyu head-on. Instead, he used the momentum of the impact to fling himself backward.

He flew a great distance before slowly landing on the ground.

The golden glow receded into his body. Wu Tian resumed control of his own form and said in a low voice, "So that's it. I didn't expect you to have already entered the Pojie stage."

"What?"

In the distance, Xiang Huo's face turned ashen. Fu Jinyu had been weaker than him before, and now, after so little time, she had reached Pojie level?

Standing far off, Na Lang of the Tougui Clan also wore an expression of disbelief.

He had originally thought Fu Jinyu disbanded her subordinate tribes because her strength had waned, and that she had been forced to break them up under pressure.

But now, it turned out her cultivation had advanced instead, and quite significantly.

As for the other races around, they all breathed a sigh of relief, glad they hadn't attacked Fu Jinyu.

Otherwise, they'd certainly have been killed.

"So that's how it is."

Xiang Teng nodded to himself. He walked over to the area where the gifts were placed on the platform, bent down, and picked up the box marked with the Tianyao Clan's tag.

After opening it, he found it completely empty.

"So she's entered the Pojie stage. No wonder she's so arrogant, not even sending a gift."

Xiang Teng crushed the wooden box in one hand, a faint green light flickering in his narrow eyes.

"Who said we didn't send a gift? That box was the gift. Look at the craftsmanship."

Xu Mu, slightly altering his voice, said with a smile.

"Hah! Damn you! A lowly servant like you, what right do you have to speak to me?"

Xiang Teng leapt down from the platform, his gaze coldly sweeping across the surroundings, "As I said before, kill Fu Jinyu this instant, or I'll kill you all first!"

Hearing this, Fu Jinyu lifted her chin slightly, "I have no quarrel with you. Leave here now."

"Leave? They wouldn't dare! If anyone dares, after I kill Fu Jinyu, your races will be next."

Xiang Teng said coldly.

Na Lang of the Tougui Clan hesitated for a moment, then gave his two subordinates a look.

They simultaneously erupted with power and made a break for the exit of the ruins.

"Seeking death!"

Xiang Teng soared through the air and shot toward Na Lang.

Seeing this, Fu Jinyu flew into the sky as well, blocking Xiang Teng's path. "Today, you will die here."

"Arrogant!"

Xiang Teng clenched his fists hard, and both his arms transformed into thick vines.
