80: Chapter 80 Transactions

Su Wu did not pause his footsteps at all.

However, his vast Divine Thought, belonging to a seventh-order Star King, silently spread out toward the rear.

"One, two, three... a total of three people."

"And... the cultivation of these three fellows is actually all seventh-order Star King Realm?!"

The moment Su Wu ascertained the strength of the other party, he couldn't help but be secretly startled in his heart.

The three stalkers on the street just happened to have the terrifying cultivation of the seventh-order Star King Realm!

"It seems the waters of this Starfall Secret Realm are much deeper than I imagined."

Su Wu sneered inwardly.

Since the other party had taken the bait, there was naturally no reason for him to get into a big fight with three Star Kings in broad daylight on a busy street.

Once official intervention was triggered, it would not only expose his hidden strength but also invite unnecessary trouble.

Thinking of this, Su Wu's gaze swept across the front of the street.

Between two huge neon signs, there was an extremely narrow, dark dead-end alley piled with all kinds of discarded metal trash.

Su Wu did not hesitate; with his hands in his trench coat pockets, he turned his body slightly and, with extreme naturalness, stepped out of the crowded flow of people and turned into that dark alley.

As he went deeper, the noise outside was cut off by the towering buildings on both sides, leaving only the echo of his own footsteps in the alley.

Walking to the deepest part of the alley, in front of him was a cold, tall metal wall.

A dead end.

Su Wu stopped his footsteps.

He did not turn his head back, but slowly turned around, leaned his back against the metal wall, held Xiaobai, who was on his shoulder, in his arms, and stroked it absentmindedly.

About ten seconds passed.

Su Wu suddenly raised his head, his gaze like a torch staring at the thick shadows at the entrance of the alley, his tone flat, yet it rang out clearly in the empty alley:

"Come out."

"Following me like a tortoise hiding its head for so long—if you aren't tired of it, I'm already sick of watching you."

As Su Wu's voice fell.

The shadows at the entrance of the alley, which had originally been empty, suddenly rippled like water.

"Tap, tap, tap."

Accompanied by steady footsteps, three tall men wearing black cloaks slowly walked out from the camouflage of the shadows.

When they heard Su Wu point out their tracks in one sentence, a flash of surprise was clearly visible in the eyes of the three men.

They were experts at the seventh-order Star King Realm! And they had Cultivated an extremely profound breath-concealing secret technique!

How could this seventh-order Star King before them, who was the same level as them, so easily discover their tracks?!

Could it be that the other party had been playing the pig to eat the tiger all along?

Thinking of this, the positioning of the three changed in an extremely subtle way, faintly forming a triangular formation capable of instantly killing Su Wu.

"Friend, what sharp perception. It seems that we three brothers have indeed misjudged you."

The scarred man standing in the middle, who was obviously the leader, spoke first.

His gaze swept back and forth over Su Wu as if it were substantial, seemingly wanting to see through Su Wu's true background.

Another man with long hair standing on the left took a step forward, his mouth pulling into a seemingly kind smile:

"Your Excellency, there is no need to be nervous; we have no malice."

"We followed Your Excellency because we feel that you are a smart person, and we want to make a mutually beneficial... transaction with you."

"A transaction?"

Su Wu leaned against the wall, his posture still appearing extremely relaxed. He gently stroked the back of Xiaobai in his arms, looking at these three idiots who each harbored their own evil intentions with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"What kind of transaction? Tell me and let me hear it!"

Su Wu did not rush to refuse; he wanted to see what kind of tricks these guys could play.

Seeing that Su Wu did not immediately refuse, a trace of joy flashed in the eyes of the scarred man who was the leader, thinking that Su Wu had been intimidated by their Aura and was preparing to pay to avoid disaster.

He simply stopped beating around the bush and said straightforwardly:

"Your Excellency is a sensible person. We three brothers have observed you for two full days. In these past few days, you have intentionally or unintentionally inquired about intelligence regarding the 'Starfall Secret Realm'."

The scarred man's eyes gradually became greedy, staring fixedly at the space ring on Su Wu's hand:

"Your Excellency must have the 'ticket' for the Starfall Secret Realm on you!"

"So if we have guessed correctly, would Your Excellency be willing to part with it? If it is true, we brothers are willing to pay a price that will definitely satisfy you to exchange for this ticket!"

Hearing this reasoning from the other party, Su Wu realized that his behavior had exposed him; it seemed he would have to be more careful next time.

However, the expression on Su Wu's face was disguised extremely well; he frowned slightly.

"Oh?"

Su Wu revealed a smile that seemed to be feigning calmness: "Then you should know its value. What price... do you intend to use to exchange for the ticket in my hand?"

The scarred leader, seeing that the fish had taken the bait, exchanged a subtle look with the two men beside him.

He waved his hand heroically and said loudly: "As long as Your Excellency is willing to hand over the ticket, we three brothers are willing to pool our funds and take out a third-order ancient martial art as an exchange!"

"A third-order ancient martial art?"

When Su Wu heard this offer, the disguise on his face instantly vanished, replaced by a mockery as if he were looking at an idiot.

He gently shook his head, his tone filled with undisguised disdain: "You want to exchange the ticket to the Starfall Secret Realm with a mere piece of third-order scrap metal? Do you yourselves think this price is enough?"

Su Wu looked straight into the eyes of the scarred man, coldly piercing through the other party's hypocrisy: "Since you are inquiring about intelligence, you should know! This time when the Starfall Secret Realm opens, news has already spread that there is a very high possibility that a 'fifth-order ancient martial art' will appear! How could such a supreme treasure be something you can gloss over by offering a piece of third-order trash?!"

Being exposed to his face so ruthlessly by Su Wu, the scarred man's face instantly stiffened.

The man with long hair frowned even more; his previously hypocritical smile completely disappeared, and a burst of chilling killing intent erupted in his eyes.

"Your Excellency, one should have self-awareness."

The long-haired man's tone was chilling, and the terrifying Origin Qi of his seventh-order Star King Realm began to slowly circulate, pressing the air in the entire alley until it emitted Qi explosion sounds.

"With your mere seventh-order Star King strength, do you still delude yourself into thinking you can covet that illusory fifth-order ancient martial art?! Truly daydreaming!"

"We are willing to take out a third-order ancient martial art to exchange with you; that is already a huge favor! If you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit..."

The dagger was revealed!

The negotiation broke down, and the three finally shed their hypocritical masks, revealing the hideous fangs of predators.

"Since this kid refuses to listen to reason, there is no need to waste words with him!"

The scarred leader gave an evil, sinister smile, his killing intent fully exposed.

"Butcher him directly! We want both the ticket and his life!"

The other two men understood tacitly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, three terrifying fluctuations belonging to the seventh-order Star King Realm erupted simultaneously in this narrow, dark alley like three volcanoes!

The three did not use large-scale attacks, but instead wanted to rush at Su Wu's face.

If it were any other ordinary seventh-order Star King, encountering such a surprise attack in such a narrow space, they would probably be killed instantly before they even had time to react!
