c291: Pill Pagoda’s Fire Incident

Boom—

As effortlessly as if an ant had been hit by a giant’s hammer, Fu Xing flew up into the sky under Xu Xiaoshou’s Recoil.

The multiple layers of energy waves did not move Xu Xiaoshou, not even half a step back.

After much accumulation, that force was instantly released.

The terrifying shockwaves not only caused Fu Xing to break the spiritual barrier set by the guard, but it also caused him to burst through layers and layers of the building.

Boom! Boom! Boom…

Sounds of walls being smashed and destroyed could be heard as Fu Xing disappeared under the eyes of the stunned audience.

It took a while for the crowd to finally recover from their shock.

“F*ck, what just happened?”

“Did the mayor’s son really get flung that far? When did this guy attack?”

“No, he did not attack. That should be his defensive spiritual technique…”

“Oh my god, what level of defensive spiritual technique can fully reflect all of Purple Dragon Roar’s damage?”

“Sss! F*c–”

“…”

The guard was numb as the crowd continued to discuss what had happened.

He had expected Xu Xiaoshou to be heavily injured. As long as he was not dead, since he was in the Magic Pill Technicians Association, he would definitely be saved.

He had even thought of that one-in-a-million chance that Fu Xing might be hurt after Xu Xiaoshou attacked.

He thought he had it all figured out and under control.

He had never thought that after Fu Xing’s punch, not only would Xu Xiaoshou be unharmed, but Fu Xing would also get blown away.

What kind of a joke was this?

If he had not known that the mayor’s son was a doubly talented swordsman and Spiritual Cultivator, he would have thought that the Fu Xing before him was a scam.

Did an Upper Spirit Cultivator get sent flying away after punching someone of Innate Origin Court Level?

“Huu…”

He grinned in surprise as he looked at Xu Xiaoshou, realizing that everyone else had underestimated this guy.

Recalling what this fellow had said earlier, none if sounded like it made any sense. Now, come to think of it, it all made perfect sense.

He had not been bluffing. He had really been thinking about Fu Xing’s welfare.

He had let the opponent punch first.

He even tried to get Fu Xing to play a Heavenly game with him to avoid this fight.

“This…”

After thinking about it, the guard was speechless.

‘Where on earth could one find such a humble person?’

‘If you were this strong, why didn’t you show off a little so that the mayor’s son would stay away?’

Suspected, Passive Points +32.

Suspected, Passive Points +34.

Suspected, Passive Points +44.

“…”

Xu Xiaoshou sighed. He had guessed that it would turn out like this, but so what if he did?

The very existence of Passive Skills meant that he could not reveal his powers whenever he felt like doing so.

Even if it was a Sovereign swordsman standing in front of him, as long as he did not touch his sword, the other party would not necessarily know that he was actually a swordsman.

The only thing that could be displayed was the cultivation level.

Even if he did not reveal his cultivation level, others would still know.

Moreover, there was no in even revealing his cultivation level. Innate Origin Court Level might have been the strongest in Tiansang Spiritual Palace’s Outer Yard, but it was nothing in the Inner Yard.

It was the same amongst the younger generation in Tiansang City.

The only thing that Xu Xiaoshou could do was use the most sincere, heartfelt words before every battle to craft a suitable battle style.

But…

It was the same every time.

Cheng Xingchu was like that, and so was Fu Xing…

What could he do if they wouldn’t even believe him?

“Ugh.” Xu Xiaoshou shook his head. “A human’s nature is so untrusting…”

The only one still fully awake was the one standing behind Xu Xiaoshou, Mu Zixi.
