Shoulder to Shoulder with Ancient Legends
Wang Xuan ordered a drink and gazed out the window at the pedestrians coming and going on the pedestrian street, his thoughts wandering.
He sat there quietly, thinking of his Old Earth, his family, and his cultivation—whether he was on the path of Golden Core and Nascent Soul, or groping his way forward on his own.
He seemed lost in thought.
Outside the window, spaceships occasionally soar into the distance and disappear into the End of the Sky, while people from all walks of life come and go, gathering the latest news in a cacophony of activity.
The world he sat in by the window seemed isolated from the outside, peaceful and serene, as if all the hustle and bustle had nothing to do with him.
He occasionally sipped his refreshing coconut and strawberry juice, listened to the soothing music playing in the beverage shop, and immersed himself in his own world, whiling away the time.
"A healthy adult, and an excellent swimmer, drowned in a small swimming pool, and the news just got out like that? How ridiculous!!"
Several miles away, in another secluded building, someone was furious, his face ashen.
Now that everyone knows this news, how are they supposed to feel?
He lowered his voice and argued with the other person in the room, demanding that top-level Energy Weapon be used to directly kill Wang Xuan in Su City.
"Are you crazy? This place has a population of tens of millions. It's not some deserted wilderness. How many people are watching? Do you dare to use weapons of mass destruction to massacre the city and turn it into ruins?" another person objected.
In particular, there are tycoons here. Would the Li Family and Qian Family, who live in Su City, agree to this? If their stronghold is destroyed, they will start a war!
"Then let's use weapons of manageable scale to carry out a targeted elimination of him. Destroying one or two buildings in Su City shouldn't be a problem, right?"
The person speaking was ruthless, preparing to wreak havoc in Su City. What did destroying a few buildings matter? It wasn't like a real massacre.
"When the time comes, just say we're capturing terrorists and a spaceship accidentally fired!" His gaze was icy, a cold smile playing on his lips. "You dare drown our people? Then I'll turn you into mincemeat! Do you really think we wouldn't dare to make a move in the city?!"
Instantly, his eyes bulged out, as if an invisible hand was gripping his neck and lifting him up.
He wanted to yell, "How could this be? That person is miles away, in a beverage shop, not even in this area!"
The other person in the room was also horrified. Had they guessed wrong? Was the real danger not Chen Yongjie, nor the mysterious Wang Xuan, but someone else entirely?!
Even those who have just entered the Supernatural Domain, despite their exceptional talent, find it difficult to separate their spirit from their physical body to such an extent.
Recently, they have been cramming on knowledge in the field of Old Arts. Even in ancient times, during its most brilliant period, such legends were rarely heard.
"It's him? No... it's impossible!" The man's neck was about to break.
Shortly afterward, someone entered the room and found him drowned in the bathtub, already devoid of vital signs.
The other person in the room drank several bottles of strong liquor and died from alcohol poisoning. It seems that he had a drunken rampage before he died.
Thus, the person in charge who came to Su City and his two deputies all died, several miles apart, their deaths mysterious and in a rather undignified manner.
An old song was playing in the beverage shop, with a soothing rhythm that evoked a sense of nostalgia. Wang Xuan listened quietly without leaving.
But things were far from peaceful outside. People from all sides were watching, and many rushed to the vicinity to look at him through the glass windows.
Those who weren't going to participate in the fight weren't worried at all; they went straight into the beverage shop to observe him up close. While a storm was brewing outside, this young man remained calm and sat there.
In broad daylight, three of the Sun family's leaders in Su City died in bizarre ways. Who were they trying to impress? This was definitely a declaration of war!
Outside, a storm raged, but here, all was peaceful and serene, as people from all sides accompanied the young man, listening to old songs that bore the marks of time.
Upon receiving the news, some members of the Sun family wore cold expressions. Such incidents happening repeatedly, and the manner of their deaths being utterly ridiculous, were a deliberate slap in the face to them.
"It's confirmed now, he's a superhuman. He's using those corpses to issue a challenge, making his stance clear. This young man has high aspirations; how does he want to die?!"
A middle-aged man's voice was calm but powerful.
"Some of these things are miles apart. How did he manage to kill someone? Even if his mind left his body, it's impossible for him to be four miles away from his physical body," someone questioned.
The Sun family possesses various Old Arts scriptures and two complete sets of Golden Bamboo Slip, one of which is now in their home. Their ability to obtain it in the past demonstrates their strength!
This family also possesses a secret vault, which houses a variety of mysterious ancient artifacts, demonstrating their profound cultural heritage.
They have a great deal of knowledge about ancient things and have even invited some senior consultants to study the secrets recorded in ancient books.
"Indeed, even in the most splendid periods of ancient times, such legends were rarely heard of, and those who had just entered the Supernatural Domain simply could not achieve this."
Several senior advisors nodded in agreement, confirming the issue.
"Could it be that he has already stepped into the Supernatural Domain and is an old monster who has lived for many years?" someone asked.
"No, he must have taken some kind of miraculous medicine in a secret place and only recently became a transcendent being. He wasn't before. There are some audio and video recordings here that can prove it. He used to go by the alias Wang Xiao and was known as Grandmaster Wang..."
It has to be said that the Sun family is terrifying. They used their powerful connections to uncover this detail and recreate the scene of Wang Xuan's battle in the rain.
Some old videos and audio recordings truthfully documented Wang Xuan's life-or-death battles. His fingernails were even shaken off, and his flesh was a bloody mess. His eyes were definitely not faked. At that time, he was exhausted, and his strength was really insufficient to sweep away his enemies.
All of this is sufficient proof that he did indeed break through recently after entering the secret realm.
"Could it be that we're wrong, and there's actually an even more powerful Supernatural Practitioner behind him and Chen Yongjie?!"
Some members of the Sun family frowned. If that was the case, the problem was complicated and even worse, as they still hadn't noticed that person.
"A third person appearing out of nowhere? It's not good to overthink it." Sun Rongting spoke, sitting there calmly and indifferently, saying, "What if he really is comparable to the ancient legends?"
"Impossible. Such a person could not be born in this era. Even in the time before mythology decayed, such legends were rare, let alone in this world!"
Someone suggested, "Mr. Ghost has emerged from seclusion. He should have gone to kill Chen Yongjie, but I think we could let him first assess Wang Xuan's situation!"
When will we unleash our trump card?
Everyone is watching and discussing it. In just one morning, the three people the Sun family sent to Su City were all taken down, which is astonishing.
"Chen Yongjie has set off again, traveling in a hovercar. It seems he's really heading towards the Sun family's stronghold!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise.
Shortly afterward, news came that the hovercar had been in an accident, crashing into a mountainside and exploding completely.
The rock walls there had melted, making one wonder if the energy generated when the hovercar disintegrated was far too great.
Soon, the truth reached the ears of various powerful forces, and the Sun family deployed their latest super robots, destroying the hovercar along the way.
"Is Chen Yongjie dead? He wanted to go to Kangning City, 1,400 miles away, to get close to the Sun family. It was too difficult. He would most likely be killed along the way."
"No, we didn't even touch him. He seemed to have sensed something beforehand, jumped off the hovercar, and hid in the mountains. Not long ago, he appeared in a city in that area with a population of nearly one million."
"At this rate, if Chen Yongjie advances hundreds of miles every day, the Sun family will deeply feel the chilling killing intent and will be under immense psychological pressure!"
All parties were moved.
In a beverage shop in Su City, Wang Xuan had been sitting for a long time, ignoring the stares around him, as he processed some news.
He left half an hour later and returned to his residence.
This day is destined to be anything but peaceful; the storm has begun and is unlikely to subside.
Old Chen has temporarily stopped moving and is staying in that city with a population of nearly one million.
Wang Xuan spent the whole day studying maps and figuring out routes; he wanted to go out of the city to do something big!
While killing the person in charge, Wang Xuan captured the man's thoughts and learned some secrets.
It's likely that the Sun family's higher-ups are unaware that this person has inadvertently uncovered some of the Sun family's most closely guarded secrets.
Wang Xuan is prepared to teach the super-rich Sun family a bloody lesson tonight, a lesson they will never forget!
That night, the Sun family suddenly launched an attack, which was extremely direct and domineering, and really seemed to be tearing off all pretense of civility, shocking everyone!
A terrifying beam of light fell from the sky, piercing through the Health Preservation Hall. The entire building was flattened, and the broken cement and steel bars melted, leaving a horrifying scene!
The Health Preservation Hall has disappeared!
This light shocked everyone!
In Su City, both the Qian Family and Li Family couldn't sit still any longer. They contacted the Sun family overnight, angrily accusing them of seriously threatening their safety.
"The Sun family is too ruthless. They used a medium-sized warship and took action directly in Su City. They didn't want Wang Xuan, who was still alive, to Extend Life. They wiped out the Health Preservation Hall. It was all melted down, and nothing was left!"
The news spread throughout conglomerates and major institutions, causing a huge stir in certain circles.
Everyone was shocked. For so many years, no major power had used warships to take action on its own soil. This would break a certain balance.
If everyone does this, and they start fighting whenever there's a conflict, what will become of New Star?
"The Sun family is prepared to compensate all the families. It would be unreasonable if they didn't pay the price!" someone said coldly.
Rules are Rules. Once they are established by all parties, even super conglomerates cannot violate them, otherwise all parties will join forces to punish them.
"They controlled the firepower and precisely destroyed the building. There was tremor nearby, and some of the surrounding buildings cracked, but none collapsed."
"The storm really came! What about that young man? Will he survive?"
People waited for a long time, and the Sun family rushed to the scene, sending out advanced robots to carefully scan the area. There was no trace of Wang Xuan in the area, and no signs of his life.
"Since he didn't escape the building and was hit by the suddenly falling beam of destruction, then... he should be dead, no doubt about it. What a pity!"
"Why has the Sun family gone mad? They've even deployed warships against this young man. Something's not right; this is far too much of a fuss."
Some people were puzzled, since even Chen Yongjie wasn't killed by the warships, he was only hit once by the "crashed" spaceship.
At the Sun family residence, many people were waiting for news. After confirming that Wang Xuan had not escaped, some of them gradually began to smile.
"Comparable to ancient legends? Ha, it still can't withstand a single blow from a warship!"
