Shao Wei was a tragedy. As the shadow warrior of Yu Liang Huang, he had to protect his master while also outsmarting and outmaneuvering various characters.
On one hand, he had to make people believe in his identity as Yu Liang Huang, on the other hand, he had to risk his life to stay alive.
He was seriously injured, standing beneath the Purple Micro Divine Sword Qi, barely managing to push out his palm energy.
Gritting his teeth, he said, "If the king wants his minister to die, there should be a reason. If Ni Shen Yang does this, who among the human race will dare to be loyal to him in the future?"
A bolt of lightning flew down from the void, striking Shao Wei's left shoulder. The intense electric current numbed half of his body, and his arm turned black as charcoal.
Jing Ting Zun charged forward, followed by hundreds of elite Elves who surrounded Shao Wei.
Killing a man who was still recovering from his injuries was a bit of an overkill, but it also indirectly showed Ni Shen Yang's determination to kill.
"It's your time to die, why so much nonsense?"
Jing Ting Zun's left arm turned into thunder, and he charged towards Shao Wei.
His arm, encased in terrifying electric currents, was horrifying. A punch landed on Shao Wei's abdomen, sending him flying ten meters away.
Actually, besides Xue Jue, Jing Ting Zun and Zi Wei Zun were just minor characters in the Hunting Universe, they had a loud name but their true skills were rather underwhelming.
Shao Wei bent over and coughed up blood. Jing Ting Zun's fist, containing the power of lightning, penetrated his body, damaging his bodily functions. He was filled with hatred.
If he was at his peak, what were Jing Ting and Zi Wei?
The tiger falls and is bullied by dogs. The dragon enters shallow waters and is played by shrimp. Even after joining Ni Shen Yang, he still ended up in a miserable state. Shao Wei was unwilling to accept his fate. He struggled to stand upright.
Jing Ting Zun punched down again. Shao Wei gritted his teeth, he was still tough, he didn't bow and beg for mercy. Perhaps he also knew that begging would be useless, it was better to maintain some dignity.
Just as Jing Ting Zun's fist was about to hit Shao Wei, a regal figure descended into the field like a celestial being. With a punch to punch, Jing Ting Zun let out a scream and rolled across the ground for dozens of meters.
Xun Wu You finally arrived in time and prevented the mission from failing. He gasped for breath, his heart beating violently, a bit like asthma.
He casually swept his hand, and a surge of powerful energy spread out. Zi Wei Zun was struck like lightning, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"It's you!"
Jing Ting Zun was furious.
He had met Xun Wu You twice before, once in the Blood Dark Realm and the other in the Discussion of Heroes and Virtues.
Adding old grievances to new ones, he wanted to fight Xun Wu You to the death. However, he was horrified to discover that he couldn't muster any strength.
Zi Wei Zun was surprised that in just a few days, Xun Wu You seemed to have been reborn.
Now, just his presence made her breathing uneven. She had only felt this way from Ni Shen Yang.
Xun Wu You was still having palpitations. If he had been a fraction of a second late, the seventh-day mission wouldn't have had anything to do with him.
To avoid any further complications, Xun Wu You unsheathed his rusty sword and drew a purple wind scar. Shao Wei, whose eyes still held a desire to live, was already beheaded.
Everyone thought Xun Wu You had come to save him, but he killed Shao Wei cleanly and decisively. It wasn't just the dead Shao Wei who died with his eyes wide open, even the Elves of the Hunting Universe thought Xun Wu You was crazy.
Especially Jing Ting Zun, he was completely short-circuited. What was going on?
At the same time, Xun Wu You received his mission reward.
"Ding!"
"Kill the fake Yu Liang Huang, mission reward: Six-zhang Golden Body, one-time use permission + two Nian Gong Li Pills + next lottery at least 3rd prize lucky value!"
"Note: Six-zhang Golden Body is a Buddhist protective power!"
"Because the host does not have a Buddhist cultivation technique, using the Six-zhang Golden Body may cause discomfort!"
Six-zhang Golden Body, absolute defense, can block a full-powered attack from a super-strong innate.
With the Six-zhang Golden Body, even though it was only a one-time use, Xun Wu You felt that it wasn't in vain that he had traveled all over to kill the fake Yu Liang Huang.
With the Six-zhang Golden Body, Xun Wu You felt that he could now go toe-to-toe with Ghost Qi Lord and the others, he now had the qualifications for an equal dialogue with super-strong innates.
However, the only drawback was that it was good for a one-time show of force, but to truly improve, one had to rely on one's own strength. Without equal strength, people would still look down on you.
But... at this stage, Ni Shen Yang's group couldn't be considered super-strong innates. The Six-zhang Golden Body could block a full-powered attack from a super-strong innate, so wouldn't that mean even if Ni Shen Yang tried his hardest, he wouldn't be able to break through the Six-zhang Golden Body's defense?
"Are you dreaming?" The system scoffed, "The effect only lasts for five minutes!"
"That's enough." Xun Wu You chewed on the power-increasing pill the system gave him, unconcerned.
Feeling the even more powerful Human Emperor Qi within him, his mood improved considerably. If used properly, fooling top-level innates wouldn't be a problem.
He could completely act like a badass, not dodging or evading, letting top-level innates bombard him, scaring them to death, that was the highest level of defeating the enemy without fighting.
Xun Wu You was already figuring out how to use the Six-zhang Golden Body wisely.
The system also said that his cultivation technique was incompatible with Buddhist cultivation techniques, and there would be side effects.
Here, Xun Wu You was happily chewing on the power-increasing pill, while the Elves of the Hunting Universe were on high alert, their expressions cautious and serious.
"What are you looking at? Never seen a handsome guy before?"
Xun Wu You glared, "Your mission was to kill Yu Liang Huang, he's dead now, why aren't you leaving?"
Zi Wei Zun pursed her lips, "What do you mean?"
Not just Zi Wei, but all the other Elves were confused as well. If you hadn't stopped us, we would have already killed Yu Liang Huang.
"I want to, so I do it, do you have a problem with that?"
Xun Wu You was arrogant and rude, he flexed his wrists, "If you're unhappy... you can fight me!"
Fighting was out of the question, Jing Ting Zun's miserable state was right before their eyes, no one was stupid, who would want to court disaster.
But... Ni Shen Yang activated the Blood Dark Crystal Tower, and the Human and Demon Races were already at odds.
This human had the upper hand, but he didn't seem to want to retaliate.
Ununderstandable, confusing...
