36: Another self-made

After all was said and done, Xu Xi's cultivation was still only at the peak of Spirit Refinement.

Although his attack power was strong, his defense was low.

And the momentum of that last strike had already reached the level of Spirit Forming.

"So you're Yang Erhe, that good-for-nothing Yang Rui's cheap old man?"

After blocking the attack, Xu Xi didn't rush to make a move. Instead, he looked at the opponent with a playful expression, his eyes full of provocation, as if he couldn't die fast enough.

"How dare you, you brat, speak such wild words!"

"You blocked one of my moves, and now you think you can look down on people!"

Xu Xi's disdainful voice reached Yang Erhe's ears, almost making him explode with rage.

It was the first time he had encountered such an arrogant fellow.

His already not-so-smooth face became even more lined at this moment, resembling the dry texture of old tree bark.

"Yang Erhe! I didn't expect him to come. It seems he's truly enraged by Yang Rui's matter."

"Hurry and leave! When immortals fight, mortals suffer!"

The moment Yang Erhe appeared, the onlookers were even more astonished, not expecting even him to be mobilized this time.

They then scattered, their rationality telling them that if they continued to watch, they would be the ones to die.

They knew Yang Erhe's terrible temper all too well.

"Consider yourselves sensible. However, I've noted you all. Don't think about escaping. Today, every single one of you will be dealt with. I'm going to have a major reckoning!"

Noticing the scattering onlookers, Yang Erhe had no intention of letting them go.

He sneered coldly, looking as if he was consumed by anger.

"But first, I'll take you down. Otherwise, I won't be able to quell the hatred in my heart!"

After speaking, he refocused his attention on Xu Xi, staring at him as if he were a dead man.

"You, you really think you've got me cornered? Do you think I'm a rainbow bean?"

"Take this, an Old Man's Great Sword!"

Xu Xi had been watching Yang Erhe's performance with a smile, wanting to see what kind of nonsense the other party would come up with. He didn't expect the other party to drop a big one on him, purely disgusting.

The Drunken Sleep Sword danced again, but this time, it was no longer as light and feeble as before.

Dark purple Cán Xīn Sword Qi was unleashed, the whistling sword qi rubbing against the air, producing bursts of explosive sounds, its momentum terrifying.

"Sword Qi leaving the body!"

"Entering Profundity!"

"Brave warrior! Spare me..."

Looking at the dark purple sword qi sweeping towards him, in that instant, countless memories flashed through Yang Erhe's mind, full of reluctance.

He opened his mouth and shouted, attempting to save his life, but Xu Xi cut off his vitality with his sword, sending him to his demise.

"Noisy! If you can fight, don't babble! Don't you know villains die from talking too much..."

"Oh, wait, it seems I'm the villain..."

Looking at Yang Erhe's fallen corpse, Xu Xi was dismissive. Since the other party provoked him, he was sentenced to death.

Only after a second thought did Xu Xi realize he hadn't said much, because he was the villain.

"This... Yang Erhe is dead!"

"It's over, the heavens of Wangshi Dam are about to change..."

They hadn't gone far when the onlookers saw Yang Erhe fall straight to the ground.

Scene after scene washed over everyone's heartstrings, bringing immense shock.

"Wangshi Dam is under the jurisdiction of Xuanjian Sect. I don't care what news you've heard, but as long as it's under our Xuanjian Sect's rule, don't even think about betraying your master."

"Otherwise... don't blame me for turning hostile!"

Standing on the spot, after a moment of silence, Xu Xi removed his disguise, then took out his Xuanjian Sect token, declaring his identity.

"This..."

"Someone from Xuanjian Sect. No wonder he's so tough, he dealt with Yang Erhe with one sword."

"Indeed, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Even if the Sect Master is dead, it's not something any cat or dog can provoke."

Everyone present, after seeing Xu Xi's identity token, understood, and knew that Yang Erhe's death was not unjust.

One of the three overlords of the Tianlan Region, Tianbao Pavilion, had no room to resist in front of such a force, and could only offer their necks to be slaughtered.

"So this is your original appearance. You really have a guilty conscience, having to hide and conceal yourself when you're out and about."

Xu Xi's performance here was perfect, but Li Ning霜, who had been watching the show from the side, pouted unhappily at this moment.

She really hadn't expected that the Xu Xi she had just seen was actually his disguised appearance.

If the people from Tianbao Pavilion hadn't come to cause trouble, she probably would have remained in the dark, never knowing Xu Xi's true face.

How could the proud Li Ning霜 accept this?

At the same time, Li Ning霜's resolve to defeat Xu Xi later became even stronger.

Only by doing so could she thoroughly humiliate the other party and quell the hatred in her heart.

Beside her, Tang Wan's eyes also became a bit strange. She truly hadn't expected Xu Xi to be quite cautious, maintaining his disguise for so long when out and about.

"It's just that I forgot to take off my mask, I forgot to turn it off, why do you say I turned it on!"

With a dismissive smile, Xu Xi indicated to Li Ning霜's words that she was still too young.

After uttering the classic line, Xu Xi didn't explain further.

Because, as he had just said, he just forgot to turn it off... After his battle with Teng Nuo, Xu Xi was too busy being affectionate with Ye Xueqing and Zhao Yaqian. How could he have the mind to remove his disguise?

Later, Li Ning霜 came to cause trouble, and Xu Xi had even less thought of removing his disguise.

Now, the timing was also appropriate, and Xu Xi didn't plan to pretend anymore.

"Heh~"

"Full of lies, hypocritical!"

Not listening to Xu Xi's words, Li Ning霜 still smiled coldly, lowering her opinion of Xu Xi even more in her heart.

"Ding, Tang Wan's favorability +10."

However, unlike Li Ning霜, Tang Wan's favorability actually soared, an anomaly that truly surprised Xu Xi.

"So generous? It's inversely proportional to the two ounces of flesh on your chest!"

With a surprised glance at Tang Wan, Xu Xi wasn't sure what he had done just now that touched on the aspect of 'weakness'.

He had fought fiercely, suppressing the provocateurs with thunderous means. By all accounts, he seemed like a strong individual.

Little did he know, this was all Tang Wan's own mental embellishment.

What even Xu Xi himself didn't expect was that the special passive skill "Whitewash" he had obtained earlier had activated.

When she learned that Xu Xi's previous appearance was all a disguise, various thoughts surfaced in Tang Wan's mind.

Combined with Tang Wan's weaknesses, she would naturally think in that direction.

In Tang Wan's eyes, Xu Xi's constant disguise was due to having experienced too many hardships, which made him so cautious.

One must know that a young man with lofty ambitions, if not for having endured many setbacks, which arrogant genius of a sect would willingly hide their appearance when outside?

Especially since Xu Xi was a genius among geniuses.

Therefore, Tang Wan's increase in favorability this time was not unwarranted.

One could only say that invisible mental embellishment was the most lethal.

Even in her gaze towards Xu Xi, Tang Wan carried a hint of pity, completely different from her previous demeanor.
