Chapter 167: Chapter 131: Enemy (3)
Su Yu was sure he had never seen this man before. That meant the man had really flown here from somewhere else, only to plummet straight down from the sky.
At that moment, a man with glasses and a tired expression stood there in a plaid shirt. He yawned quietly, his gaze lazily drifting in their direction—or more precisely, at Su Xing.
"You two, take Xiao Yu and get back."
As Su Xing spoke, his eyes were locked onto the man.
The others might not have seen it, but he had seen it with perfect clarity. When the man had caught his Sparrow Sword, the phantom that appeared behind him was unmistakably the same purple-haired man from his dreams.
’This guy... he’s definitely not to be underestimated!’
From that purple-haired phantom, he felt an unprecedented, immense threat, and a disdain so strong it felt tangible.
Even though the purple-haired man was just a phantom, it still struck fear into Su Xing. This was undoubtedly a powerful trump card!
The Black Sword materialized in his right hand. He simultaneously activated his "Qi Sword Stance." He had to give it his all!
Judging from the man’s dramatic entrance and Su Xing’s unprecedentedly grave reaction, the others also realized this man was no ordinary opponent.
Su Yu and Lu Anning both felt a terrifying aura from him, so palpable it was almost physical. Without another word, they immediately began to fall back.
"Trying to leave?"
The man glanced at Lu Anning and Su Yu, his face devoid of expression, and said calmly,
"My master has granted me this incredible power. He tasked me with capturing you, so you might as well stop struggling."
"Wouldn’t it be better for everyone if I could just clock out early?"
The moment the words left his lips, he pushed off the ground and vanished. To everyone else, it seemed as if he had disappeared completely.
Only Su Xing, who swung his Black Sword in a sudden slash, saw it clearly. The man was charging straight for Lu Anning and Su Yu, but his speed was simply too great. To them, it was as if nothing was there at all; they couldn’t see him, much less react in time.
Then, in the next instant, before Lu Anning and Su Yu could even react,
the man was sent flying in a parabolic arc through the air, having clashed violently with Su Xing’s blade. Su Xing felt a jolt of numbness in his arm. His opponent had been knocked back a hundred paces, yet he seemed completely unaffected, charging forward once again!
The purple-haired phantom materialized, hammering at Su Xing with one punch after another!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Amidst a series of thunderous booms, the two exchanged dozens of blows in an instant.
Su Xing was forced back several dozen steps, while his opponent retreated merely ten or so. The man clearly held the overwhelming advantage in the exchange.
Behind him, Su Yu and Lu Anning couldn’t hide their expressions of disbelief. They knew just how strong Su Xing was, yet even he was at a disadvantage in a head-on clash.
"What... what kind of monster is this?"
Su Xing’s expression was also exceptionally grave as he stared at the man before him, his mind racing.
As they fought, a peculiar feeling suddenly struck Su Xing.
The power of the purple-haired phantom didn’t belong to the man himself; it had to be an external power source. The man’s actual body was, at best, on par with Zhou’s—perhaps his physical strength was just slightly greater, and that was it.
Su Xing thought to himself, ’I need to test the true strength of this purple phantom.’
"Thanks, you guys. If this is all you’ve got, it looks like I’ll be able to clock out early today after all."
