New Chapter: The Lid-Opening King Goes Pat-Pat
Her silver hair was smooth, like a flash of lightning illuminating the void, flying out with her skull, rippling with shimmering light, like the twinkling of stars.
The pain was excruciating. She screamed and watched helplessly as her skull flew away, her hair chasing after it. It was unbearable for a woman like her who valued her appearance above all else.
As a young and beautiful woman, who hasn't dreamed of having her red veil lifted one day? But today, she witnessed the veil being lifted.
What terrified her most was that she couldn't move, dodge, or escape. The hand came again, and this time she saw her white clothes stained with blood, like a plum blossom in the garden withering in the wind and snow. Her body was also pierced and she fell to the distance.
On the other side, Yan Que, Qi Miao, and Hong Teng joined forces to take down the young man who had provoked Cai Wei by drinking a toast together. Each of them manifested runes and emitted dazzling lightning, charring the man black.
Nearby, An Hong and Cheng Tian drew their broadswords and spears, but were met with resistance. The opposing forces reacted and charged forward together.
These people are highly skilled and have reached a high level of cultivation, all approaching the late stage of True Immortal. Those who could be invited by Yuan Hong to accompany him on a mission to steal the Kunpeng Nest are certainly no ordinary people.
One person's internal organs churned, emitting Five-Colored Light Wheel, using the power of rules to stabilize Cheng Tian's broadsword. Another person's entire body turned metallic, densely covered with Immortal Dao Rune, and his hands melted into a bright red divine metal liquid, enveloping An Hong's spear.
Upon seeing this, the others immediately rushed forward to attack, wanting to quickly eliminate the two.
Others transformed into streaks of light, unleashing thousands of Divine Feather, comparable to celestial swords, clanging and striking, completely sealing off Wang Xuan, intending to blast him into a pincushion.
Once he started, Wang Xuan didn't stop. A halo appeared around his body, which was the sword light bursting out from his pores, turning into a sword wheel that enveloped him.
He stood amidst a dazzling halo, as if clad in celestial armor and enveloped in a divine aura, ethereal and radiant, like a deity descending to earth.
Amidst the sizzling sound, thousands of Divine Feather towards him, but he froze them, unable to get close to Wang Xuan's body. They then broke apart inch by inch, exploded, and burned to ashes.
The Divine Feather came from a near-heavenly level creature on the other side. In the past, every time it shot out, it could pierce through opponents at the True Immortal level. But now they were all destroyed, as if the demon had been plucked.
Wang Xuan had nothing to hide from, so he charged forward quickly and forcefully. The Demon Cultivator shocked and enraged, and unleashed a burst of Samadhi True Fire from his mouth.
As it turned out, this had no effect at all. Wang Xuan, standing in the dazzling divine halo, struck out with his palm, forcing all the true fire back into the man's mouth. The runic flames immediately burst forth from the man's nose, eyes, and ears.
The Demon Cultivator trembled all over, manifesting the Heavenly Demon Dharma Form, a fierce bird carrying endless divine light, pouncing on Wang Xuan. At the same time, his own arms were also moving, like two heavenly blades sweeping down.
Unfortunately, such a fierce attack had no effect on Wang Xuan. The dazzling divine halo around his body—the sword wheel—vibrated slightly, causing demon blood to splatter and his arm to fall off.
The raptor's avatar that swooped down was shattered by a single hand, followed by the Demon Cultivator's true form. He felt his head buzzing, stood frozen in place, and his skull was blasted off.
Wang Xuan didn't stop, just kept charging around recklessly. Amidst the thuds, the people who had come with Yuan Hong fell silent, shocked and terrified.
They were all patted on the head and given kisses all the way, and their "veils" were lifted. It can be said that they had never seen such a freakish opponent before.
An Hong, Cai Wei, Qi Miao, and the others were also stunned. Qin Cheng was actually this strong? At the same time, they secretly wondered if he had some kind of special fetish.
Wang Xuan blushed, mainly because he was just getting into the swing of things.
Back when he was dueling with that scarecrow in the True Saint's Backyard, he was repeatedly "exposed," and he also had a terrible accident when he materialized patterns on the skull, resulting in a horrific explosion that left him traumatized. Unconsciously, he wanted his enemies to experience the same thing. It's clear how painful this realization was.
No one went for the kill because the time and place were wrong.
"Everyone, please stop!" Yan Xue rushed over again after hearing the news, but it was too late, and everything that was going to happen had already happened.
"This is outrageous!" Yuan Hong came to his senses, flew into a rage, and was so angry that he wanted to devour Wang Xuan alive.
A strong wind howled, and white snowflakes rose up, filling the sky and blowing into the palace through the open doors and windows.
The wounded men's faces changed color. Ice shards fell on their wounds, and the feeling was indescribable. They quickly found bone fragments and put them on their heads.
They are all true immortals; otherwise, how could they still be alive?
"I kindly invited you to drink, and not only did you not appreciate it, but you also committed violence in public. This matter is not over!" Yuan Hong shouted, but instead of questioning Wang Xuan, he looked at Yan Xue and asked her to resolve the issue.
After all, this is a long-established "shop" that is very famous in the Pingtian Star Domain. Can't even the safety of its customers be guaranteed?
He was indignant and frustrated because he hadn't made a move yet. He was following the "Rules" and planned to find a secluded place to trap his target with a killing formation after he got out.
At the same time, he also planned to contact the experts in the sect who were here, to work together to hunt down and capture people suspected of being related to the Nine Nether Black Crow.
As a result, despite his well-behaved behavior, smiling and inviting his target for drinks, he was met with a "craniotomy" that sent his brains flying.
He felt utterly wronged. He had been unusually restrained and polite, even offering a toast, when the other person suddenly flipped the table and then flipped him over as well.
"It's not over yet!" Yuan Hong roared again, emphasizing his words. He had suffered too much and been wronged too much today.
Yan Xue was also somewhat embarrassed. Wasn't the atmosphere quite good just now? The atmosphere was very harmonious, and these people raised their glasses together, laughing off their grudges. How could it suddenly turn into a bloodbath, with immortal clouds and skulls flying together?
"Gentlemen, how could this happen?" Yan Xue looked at Wang Xuan, who was clearly the "King of Opening the Lid," and was more ferocious than the others.
"There's been a misunderstanding." Yan Que wanted to smooth things over, since she hadn't suffered any loss anyway.
"They're shameless, harassing people," Cai Wei said angrily.
"It's nothing, everyone was having a good time drinking and got a little tipsy," Wang Xuan explained.
Is this something that happened to the higher-ups? It seems so, but he's definitely not happy. Yuan Hong and the others were so angry that they pointed at him, and his lips turned blue. That kid got the benefit and is still acting innocent!
Wang Xuan walked straight over, his movements swift as lightning, and put his arm around Yuan Hong's shoulder as if they were old friends meeting again.
Yuan Hong originally intended to cause a huge disturbance, but instead of launching an attack himself, he wanted to leverage the power of the people behind this time-honored brand to teach the troublemakers a lesson.
But now, Wang Xuan was facing him with a warm face, but firmly held him down with his cold arms, and suddenly his hair stood on end.
Because Wang Xuan reached out with his other hand and placed it on his head, making him stiffen and his scalp tingle. It was outrageous! Was he going to attack him again in public?
"Upon ascending to the Ninth Heaven, there are no ordinary people here. We are all true immortals. What is a little scratch? We have overcome countless hardships Ascension to Immortality. What tribulations haven't we experienced? What are a few bumps and bruises during our drinking and drinking games?"
Wang Xuan spoke up, defining the nature of the incident.
Then, he kindly patted Yuan Hong's head, as if to comfort him or to help heal his wounds, and said, "Don't you think so?"
Yuan Hong was seething with anger, but all the words that were on the tip of his tongue remained unspoken, and he swallowed them back down.
He wanted to spit in Wang Xuan's face and angrily rebuke him, "You've touched my head like that, how could I dare to deny it to the craniotomist? This is coercion!"
"Come on, Brother Yuan, let's have a drink. Men should be generous." Wang Xuan handed him a cup, not caring who had used it, and poured the wine.
With a clink, the jade cups clashed, and Wang Xuan said, "I'll drink it all."
Yuan Hong was already furious and had no desire to drink with him, but he was being held down by the shoulder.
"I remember this is the cup that Liuguang used, I'll get you a new one," Wang Xuan said, and started to take it away.
Yuan Hong ignored him and silently drank the wine.
"Alright, we've already drunk the wine, let's just let this matter drop for today," Wang Xuan said, releasing him.
"That's my cup!" Hong Teng's dark face showed his dissatisfaction.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong was extremely disgusted and almost smashed the cup. In the end, he slammed it down on the table, the jade cup embedding itself deeply into the surface.
Then, Wang Xuan went over to toast each of them. These men were not insignificant; they were all unruly and arrogant. How could they swallow such an insult after having their heads smashed? They all harbored intense hatred towards each other.
However, as Wang Xuan patted them all the way, coldly placing his hand on their heads "to show apology" and "appease" them, they were shocked and angry, but they were still intimidated.
Clearly, this was a renewed confrontation and battle. It looked calm, but they were actually exchanging blows, and in the end, no one could withstand the attack, and none of them could avoid it.
They were all firmly held down by the smiling young man, who patted their heads again and warmly clinked glasses with them.
This feud has become huge!
But Wang Xuan didn't care. He couldn't find this person and was about to leave, so he didn't care whether they were in a good mood or not. He just wanted to make sure there was no trouble for the time being.
If this were a desolate wilderness, he guaranteed that they would all be blown to bits and rest in peace.
Cai Wei, Hong Teng, An Hong, and the others witnessed the whole thing and found it very satisfying, especially Yan Que, who was still angry after Yuan Hong slapped her in the face earlier.
Now, one by one, these people were being patted and tapped on the head by Wang Xuan, which made him feel very happy.
Of course, besides Yan Que, Qi Miao and Cheng Tian were also wondering what was wrong with Qin Cheng? How could he suddenly become so incredibly fierce today?
Wang Xuan raised his glass one after another, the last one being Liu Guang, but he ignored her and simply passed by. Who knows if Yan Que will become Da Great Tengu again in the future?
This time, she wasn't patted on the head. While she breathed a sigh of relief, she also felt a strange sensation. This fierce man didn't take her seriously at all. He would lift the lid when he wanted to, and ignore her when he wanted to, cold and domineering.
Wang Xuan's thoughts were elsewhere; his heart was no longer here. Where would he go next? He would go to the academy soon, obtain two scriptures, and then embark on his journey.
As for whether there are thorns on the road or whether anyone is blocking the way, it doesn't matter to him. If there are anything in his way, then it's not a matter of touching!
