184: One-sided crushing
No one thought highly of Shen Xi.
The gap in strength was simply too vast.
Even if he had previously shocked countless people, it was still futile.
To break the situation, a miracle would be needed.
The discussions naturally reached Wu Su's ears.
Wu Su's smile became even more arrogant and unrestrained: "Hahaha, Shen Xi, did you hear that? Everyone thinks you're dead. Why don't you quickly acknowledge me as your master? There's still a chance to live. My patience is limited, so don't challenge it."
Saying that, Wu Su menacingly waved the long saber in his hand, clearly intending to scare Shen Xi.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Just as everyone was wondering if Shen Xi would yield, kneel, and acknowledge a master, Shen Xi suddenly spoke a cryptic sentence.
The Two People felt confused.
Wait?
Who was Shen Xi waiting for?
Could it be these two Initial Stage of the Acquired Realm experts?
Had he already guessed that the Two People would attack him?
Then why didn't he run earlier? Wasn't that crazy?
Or did he have a way to deal with it?
No one understood Shen Xi's words, and they were even more bewildered.
However, their confusion was quickly resolved.
Shen Xi actually took the initiative to attack.
His figure instantly vanished from under everyone's noses, as if he had evaporated into thin air.
Apart from a few people, no one could track Shen Xi's movements.
"What kind of speed is this?"
"Oh my god, I can't even see Shen Xi's figure anymore!"
"If he were to attack me with this speed, I would definitely be dead!"
"No, Shen Xi's strength seems to be even greater than when he fought Kuang Tao!"
"Could it be that he has been hiding his true combat power all along?"
As soon as these words were uttered, everyone was stunned.
When Shen Xi killed Kuang Tao, that wasn't even his true combat power?
How powerful was this young man?
"Shen Xi!" Wu Su exclaimed, somewhat flustered.
The moment Shen Xi made his move, even with Wu Su's strength, he could only barely catch a afterimage.
This caused a feeling of unease to arise in Wu Su's heart. He vaguely felt that he had kicked an iron plate, and this attack might turn out badly.
"How can you be distracted during a battle?" Shen Xi said calmly.
The next second, a sword light flashed.
What!
Wu Su was greatly shocked; he almost didn't react in time.
"Mad Wave Eighteen Slashes!"
The Mad Wave Eighteen Slashes, having been Cultivated to the Perfection level, naturally had incomparable power.
Even just the first slash emanated a terrifying Qi.
Clang!
The sound of saber and sword colliding rang out.
Shen Xi finally revealed his true form, while Wu Su flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
"My Mad Wave Eighteen Slashes, actually couldn't defeat Shen Xi..." Wu Su was greatly shaken, his voice filled with disbelief.
He had used a Martial Arts, while Shen Xi had only casually struck with a sword.
Even so, he was no match for Shen Xi.
This blow caused the always arrogant Wu Su to feel a sense of frustration.
He was a dignified heir of the Wu Family, yet he was suppressed by a Loose Cultivator with no background?
What terrified him the most was that Shen Xi's combat power increased too quickly.
Wu Su originally thought that his own increase in combat power to the Early Stage of the Acquired Realm within a few days was already that of a prodigy.
But he didn't expect Shen Xi's improvement to be even more astonishing, going directly from being no match for him at first to now being above him.
"Mad Wave Eighteen Slashes, second slash!" Wu Su dared not be careless and quickly swung his saber again.
The Mad Wave Eighteen Slashes was a stacking Martial Arts; the later the slashes, the more terrifying the power.
"Is that all you have? Don't forget, I've seen the Mad Wave Eighteen Slashes before." Shen Xi smiled coldly, appearing exceptionally relaxed and casual.
He struck with another sword, again without using any Martial Arts Cultivation Technique, just a simple sword strike, and blocked the second slash.
As for Wu Su, he retreated another dozen steps.
"Third slash!"
"Fourth slash!"
"Fifth slash!"
Wu Su continuously unleashed three slashes, each more terrifying than the last.
But the result remained unchanged.
Shen Xi still didn't use any Martial Arts Cultivation Technique; with just a simple sword, he forced Wu Su to retreat step by step.
"What are you still standing there for!" Seeing the unfavorable situation, Wu Su cursed at the Deceiver.
The Deceiver was still watching from the side, showing no intention of attacking.
"I understand." The Deceiver suppressed the anger in his heart.
Wu Su treated him like his subordinate, speaking to him without any politeness.
If it weren't for Wu Su coming from the Wu Family, the Deceiver would have already turned hostile.
"Netherworld Fist Technique!" The Deceiver moved.
Ghostly figures appeared behind him.
The Netherworld Fist Technique seemed to connect the human world and Netherworld Hell, exuding an eerie Qi.
"Sixth slash!"
"Seventh slash!"
"Eighth slash!"
"Ninth slash!"
Wu Su also seized the opportunity to attack, unleashing four slashes in one breath.
In the face of the Mad Wave Eighteen Slashes, whose power continuously increased with each layer, and the Netherworld Fist Technique, Shen Xi finally did not respond casually.
For the first time, a serious expression appeared in his eyes.
The next second, One Sword Eight Desolations was used by him.
Boom!
The sound of thunder rang out.
One Sword Eight Desolations seemed to truly carry the posture of leveling the Eight Desolations, destroying all of Wu Su and the Two People's attacks.
Wu Su and the Deceiver were no match for Shen Xi, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood.
"How could this happen!"
"No, it's impossible!"
The Two People couldn't believe what was happening before their eyes, speaking in a bewildered manner.
Even when working together, they were still no match for Shen Xi?
This caused a trace of fear to emerge in their subconscious.
Everything seemed to be out of their control, about to exceed their grasp.
"Is that all you've got?" Shen Xi narrowed his eyes and scoffed.
He hadn't even gotten serious, and these Two People had already completely given up?
Then this battle would be too boring.
"Don't be too arrogant, the Mad Wave Eighteen Slashes gets stronger the further it goes, you've only just blocked the ninth slash!" Wu Su retorted, unconvinced.
He attacked again, unleashing three more slashes.
As if still uneasy, Wu Su paused for a moment, then unleashed three more slashes.
A total of six slashes.
Each slash was more terrifying than the last.
The combined power, even an Early Stage of the Acquired Realm expert, would find troublesome, and might not be able to withstand it if they were slightly careless.
"One Sword Sweeps the Nine Provinces." Shen Xi finally used the strongest Martial Arts he currently possessed.
A vast sword glow, faintly outlining the contours of the Nine Provinces.
A heavy pressure permeated the surroundings.
Everyone felt as if they were truly facing the Nine Provinces.
