183: Destined to die young?
“Wu Su!”
Shen Xi quickly reacted, recognizing Wu Su.
At this moment, he instantly understood many things.
The feeling he had earlier of someone secretly prying was, in all likelihood, Wu Su.
The opponent had long been targeting him, waiting for the moment he let his guard down, then launching a thunderous strike.
“It’s too late to notice me now!”
“Shen Xi, this time I want to see who can save you.”
“Hahaha, to go against me, you are seeking death!”
Wu Su burst into wild laughter.
The situation was now completely under his control.
He and the Deceiver had formed a pincer attack, sandwiching Shen Xi in the middle. No matter which direction the opponent tried to escape, he would not be able to get out of their grasp.
As for Liu Yiyi and the others, although they had also reacted, Wu Su did not take them seriously.
There was still a significant gap between the combat power of the Early Stage of the Acquired Realm and the Initial Stage of the Acquired Realm.
If he were alone, he might have a headache facing the combined efforts of the Two People, but now with the Deceiver by his side, Wu Su was even more formidable.
The only one he needed to worry about was Liu Yiyi.
She came from the Liu family, a Secluded Faction, and likely carried some life-saving means, which might save Shen Xi at a critical moment.
However, he only needed to be vigilant.
Wu Su also had quite a few treasures on him.
“Shen Xi, prepare to die!”
The Deceiver was also roaring.
Although he looked at Shen Xi, his attention was divided into four, falling on Shen Xi, Liu Yiyi, Ye Zirou, and Chen Fang respectively.
This was the combat quality of a seasoned expert; he would be wary of any enemy who could potentially change the tide of battle.
But to the Deceiver’s surprise, aside from the initial shock when he and Wu Su first appeared, Liu Yiyi and the Two People now seemed unusually relaxed.
No!
Not just relaxed!
In addition, there was also a sense of watching a show.
What was wrong with these Three People?
Their companion was being ambushed, and they showed no reaction at all?
Did they not feel the terrifying Qi emanating from him and Wu Su?
Or did the Three People already know they were no match, so they simply gave up struggling and allowed him to kill Shen Xi?
Thinking of this, the Deceiver showed a look of sudden realization.
It must be like this!
As the saying goes, ‘let the Fellow Daoist die, not the poor Daoist’.
The Three People, knowing they were no match for him and Wu Su, naturally wouldn't rashly stand up for Shen Xi, so they chose to distance themselves and watch coldly.
This was exactly the same as the reactions of other Martial Artists.
The Deceiver looked at the Martial Artists around, who also went from initial shock to now watching the show, with not a single person willing to help Shen Xi.
No one wanted to needlessly provoke two powerful enemies for a stranger.
Apparently, Chen Fang and the Three People had the same idea, which saved a lot of trouble.
“Hahaha, Shen Xi, your companions seem to have abandoned you. They clearly see you being ambushed by the Two People, yet show no intention of rescuing you.”
Wu Su also noticed this and smiled exceptionally brightly.
It seemed the relationship between Liu Yiyi and Shen Xi was nothing more than this; in the face of life and death, didn't she decisively abandon Shen Xi?
“Oh? Is that so?”
Shen Xi’s expression was incredibly calm; Wu Su’s words had no effect on him whatsoever.
He could even still smile.
He naturally knew what Liu Yiyi and the Three People meant.
Initially, when someone suddenly appeared, the Three People were nervous, fearing danger.
But after clearly seeing that it was Wu Su and the Deceiver, the Three People immediately relaxed.
This was because they were among the few who knew Shen Xi’s true combat power, and naturally understood that Wu Su and the Two People posed no threat to Shen Xi.
Since that was the case, they only needed to watch the show and had no need to help.
“Smile? You can still smile when death is at your doorstep; I think you’ve been scared silly.”
“How about it, do you really want to live?”
“I can give you a chance. As long as you obediently kowtow to me three times and acknowledge me as your master, I might even let you live.”
Wu Su continued to mock. The feeling of having victory in his grasp made him completely disregard Shen Xi.
Of course, even if Shen Xi really did as he said, he would not let the opponent go.
He came this time to kill Shen Xi and eliminate future troubles forever.
“This kid is really not a peaceful one. He offended Kuang Tao before, but he was strong enough to kill Kuang Tao. Now he has offended two experts of unknown origin.”
“And, have you felt the Qi of these Two People? They are not only of Innate level combat power, but have also reached the Early Stage of the Acquired Realm, which is already an existence that can dominate the entire scene!”
“Hiss! Early Stage of the Acquired Realm? Have such experts already appeared? This Chasing Wind Secret Realm is truly filled with masters!”
“Isn’t that nonsense? From the previous Regional Barrier, it can be seen that this session of the Chasing Wind Secret Realm is the strongest ever in terms of participants. I estimate that in a while, some people’s combat power will even reach the Greater Completion of the Acquired Realm.”
“That’s too outrageous! It’s simply not giving us people a way to live!”
“Have you noticed that the person completely wrapped in a black robe has a somewhat aged voice, and his fingers are full of wrinkles? He is clearly not a young person. Could he be the Deceiver?!”
The surrounding Martial Artists couldn't help but speak up.
Some sharp-eyed people had even guessed the Deceiver’s identity.
However, even so, they were secretly alarmed.
Aside from the Deceiver, Wu Su was a genuine young man under thirty, and his combat power had reached the Early Stage of the Acquired Realm.
This made those who were still lingering at the Acquired level feel inferior.
“The young man named Shen Xi is finished.”
“Two People with Early Stage of the Acquired Realm combat power; unless all of us help, it’s impossible to resist.”
“I thought a Heaven-Grade Genius was about to rise, but in the end, it was just a flash in the pan, destined to die young.”
Several young people at the entrance of the Tower of the Heavens said with regret.
Besides that, there was also a sense of relief.
The pressure brought by Shen Xi was too heavy.
However, no matter how amazing Shen Xi’s previous performance was, the final outcome was already determined.
Facing two experts at the Early Stage of the Acquired Realm, unless the Two People at the entrance of the Tower of the Heavens also helped, Shen Xi would not survive.
In the face of absolute strength, talent was nothing.
Is a Genius who hasn’t grown up still considered a Genius?
