Killing a Chicken with a Sledgehammer
Yang Wu's appearance quickly attracted the attention of the two groups fighting each other.
The first to react were the ten helmeted assassins. One of them grinned as he killed one of the guards in front of him, then asked telepathically, "Big brother, someone's coming. What do we do?"
"Let's finish this quickly and avoid any unforeseen complications!" the assassin leader said in a deep voice. "This person is only here alone, so he must have Yunxiao Level strength! As long as he doesn't cause us trouble first, let's not provoke him!"
In the Xueluo Continent, strength is divided into 'Earth Level', 'Sky Level', 'Yunxiao Level', 'Domain Level', 'World Level', and Immortal God. These correspond to Planetary Level, Star Level, Universe Level, Domain Lord, World Lord, and Immortal God in the Original Universe, respectively.
Generally speaking, in this Xueluo Continent, even ordinary people are close to the Planetary Level in strength, and those with a little talent can reach the Planetary Level. However, reaching the Star Level is not a simple matter.
"Yes!" the other assassins responded in unison, then attacked the guards protecting the girl even more frantically.
But just then, a voice containing Star Level Origin Force swept across the sky and appeared in everyone's ears.
"Sir, I am the daughter of the Rock Territory Lord. If you can help me escape from the Blood-Clad Guard, my father will reward you handsomely!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Wu frowned.
In fact, Yang Wu had already planned to rescue these people after discovering them, since he was new to the area and urgently needed to find someone to understand the situation in the vicinity.
However, Yang Wu had no idea that he was being coerced into helping.
This person could have used the Origin Force to transmit sound directly, but instead chose to project the Origin Force externally and even named both parties, thus forcing Yang Wu into this turmoil.
If Yang Wu's prediction is correct, then after the 'Blood-Clad Guard' exposed their identities, even if they hadn't intended to attack Yang Wu beforehand, they would probably still kill him to silence him.
If Yang Wu were just an ordinary adventurer, he would likely face extreme danger.
Sure enough, just as Yang Wu was pondering, two Yunxiao Level assassins, at the signal of the Blood-Clad Guard leader, attacked Yang Wu.
"Kid, die!"
"You unlucky fellow, don't blame us Blood-Clad Guard for your death. Blame the person who dragged you into this conflict!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two assassins transformed into streaks of Flowing Light and swiftly attacked Yang Wu.
"A sky full of stars!"
Upon seeing someone attack him, Yang Wu immediately stopped being polite and unleashed his full power, using the fifth level of the Overlord Spear technique.
However, Yang Wu was currently using an ordinary alloy spear, which did not have any secret patterns engraved on its body to activate the spear technique, making it much more difficult for him to use this move.
Of course, with Yang Wu's current Law Comprehension, he could easily unleash the sixth level of spear technique even without using the Overlord Spear, and unleashing the fifth level at this moment would be even easier.
Boom!
The group of people who were fighting each other suddenly froze, as did the two Yunxiao Level experts who were attacking Yang Wu.
All of these people showed expressions of terror, because an extremely terrifying power erupted from Yang Wu's body.
Countless crimson rays gathered at the tip of Yang Wu's spear, then quickly dispersed, spanning thousands of meters, and fiercely bombarded the crowd.
When Yang Wu first made his move, the girl had a slight smile on her face, but when she saw Yang Wu unleash such a terrifying attack, her expression became extremely serious. When she saw that the crimson light in Yang Wu's hand was attacking not only the Blood-Clad Guard but also her own guards, she panicked completely.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Under Yang Wu's control, the endless crimson light attacked its respective targets with extreme precision.
The others also abandoned their fighting and prepared to focus all their efforts on resisting Yang Wu's attack.
Unfortunately, all their defenses proved ineffective against Yang Wu's attacks.
With a deafening roar, apart from Yang Wu in mid-air, only the girl and the leader of the Blood-Clad Guard remained alive in the arena.
"What?" The leader of the Blood-Clad Guard was utterly shocked upon witnessing this scene.
"Dead! They're all dead! Even a Domain Level expert couldn't possibly have done this, could they?"
The old man protecting the girl was stronger than him, but he had no ability to resist the attack of the spear light.
The leader of the Blood-Clad Guard had no doubt that if a spear beam had been aimed at him just now, his fate would have been no better than that of the old man.
In terms of pure strength, Yang Wu, who was not possessed by Kashi, was definitely no match for Domain Level expert. However, in terms of the exquisiteness of his moves, most Domain Level experts could not even come close.
After all, Yang Wu's current understanding of the Law of Space has even surpassed that of many Immortal God; he is only lacking in his understanding of the Lower Law.
At this moment, Yang Wu was also secretly surprised.
"The power of this starry sky seems to have increased?" Yang Wu thought to himself as he looked at the scene before him.
Actually, it's not that the power of 'a sky full of stars' has increased; rather, Yang Wu is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
Even in the vast universe, someone at the Universe Level who can unleash the third level of the Overlord Spear technique could win a thousand consecutive matches in the Giant Axe Fighting Arena. Moreover, Yang Wu is using the fifth level; it would be a joke if it didn't possess such power.
If Yang Wu hadn't possessed exceptional control, that ninth-tier Star Level girl would likely have died from the aftershocks of his attack.
Of course, Yang Wu's idea cannot be entirely blamed on him.
Over the past few decades, the people Yang Wu has encountered have all been either experts far surpassing him in level, or Universe Level geniuses like himself, as well as the Gatekeeper of the Heavenly Bridge, and so on...
Over time, Yang Wu almost forgot what the strength of an ordinary Universe Level expert was.
However, Yang Wu quickly realized what was happening and flew rapidly downwards.
The two survivors below, seeing Yang Wu slowly descend, remained rooted to the spot, not daring to move an inch.
However, the two men's expressions were completely different.
The girl's face was full of unease, while the leader of the Blood-Clad Guard had a rather complicated expression, showing hesitation, regret, and even a hint of excitement.
"My lord, my father is the Rock Territory Lord, a mid-stage Domain Level expert!" The girl hurriedly said after Yang Wu landed, "Please spare my life, my father will surely reward you handsomely!"
The girl was not stupid; after Yang Wu attacked her guards, she guessed why Yang Wu had done so.
"Although I offended him by asking for help, since he didn't kill me outright, I still have hope of surviving!" the girl thought to herself.
What she didn't expect was that Yang Wu spared her life only to obtain some information about the Xueluo World.
"Shut up!" Yang Wu thought to himself and looked directly at the other party.
Immediately, the girl stopped speaking, and her gaze towards Yang Wu held a newfound loyalty and fervor.
In that instant, Yang Wu had already used his Soul Secret Technique to completely subdue the girl.
Taking leave! I'll be attending a friend's wedding for the next two days, so updates will be less frequent. I'll resume normal updates the day after tomorrow and try to catch up on any missed chapters.
