Chapter 1045: The Comical Shi Guangxu
Just as Xu Nian's main body, accompanied by Murong Xue and Feng Cheng, was entering the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, Xu Nian's Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar also emerged from seclusion.
"Did you break through to the Peak of Tribulation Crossing?" Mei Ji looked at Xu Nian who had just stepped out.
"Yes, I just broke through recently." Xu Nian's Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar responded.
During this period, he had been hiding in the Chaos Divine Palace for cultivation.
Now his cultivation had finally reached a breakthrough, achieving the Peak of Tribulation Crossing.
Continuing cultivation would at least attract his Heavenly Tribulation.
This is why Xu Nian decided to leave the Chaos Divine Palace.
"What, you broke through to the Peak of Tribulation Crossing? Oh my god, did you take some aphrodisiacs? Wouldn't this mean I am no longer as strong as you?" Shi Guangxu rushed over, shouting excitedly.
Xu Nian looked speechless.
This guy, does he have to be so exaggerative?
"You speak as if, without my breakthrough, you could have defeated me." Xu Nian said with a smile.
Shi Guangxu's face turned black instantly.
Why tell the truth?
"Where do you plan to go next?" Mei Ji asked.
He knew that Xu Nian, since leaving seclusion, was most likely planning to leave.
"I plan to visit the Guihai Family, and I also want to understand more about this Mu Residence." Xu Nian said with a smile.
The Guihai Family had previously issued a bounty on him, commissioning the Mu Residence to hunt him down.
If this grudge isn't avenged, it'd be unfair.
"I don't stop you from seeking revenge on the Guihai Family, but for the Mu Residence, I advise you to be careful. Its power is strong, and some among them are very formidable." Mei Ji cautioned.
Xu Nian nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know my limits, if I can't win I can always run."
Mei Ji nodded, saying no more.
"I'll go with you." Shi Guangxu hurriedly said.
Xu Nian smiled without refusing.
This Shi Guangxu is quite an amusing guy; it's no harm to have him tag along.
If danger arises, he can be kept inside the Chaos Divine Palace.
Of course, threats to Xu Nian were now very rare.
"Let's go!" Xu Nian dropped a sentence, then flew directly into the void, summoning his ship.
Shi Guangxu naturally followed.
Mei Ji stood below, watching Xu Nian's ship leave, her expression complex.
"I say, Xu, isn't it a waste not to 'eat' such a prime piece of meat?" Shi Guangxu glanced at Mei Ji below, poking Xu Nian teasingly.
"What nonsense are you talking?" Xu Nian glared at Shi Guangxu.
"Don't pretend. Don't think I don't know, Sister Mei Ji has an Innate Charm Body, naturally possessing allure. Which man doesn't desire that? Moreover, Sister Mei Ji's gaze toward you shows a clear interest. Just put in a bit more effort, and she's yours. Yet you choose to leave now, isn't that a waste?" Shi Guangxu said with a lack of respect.
Xu Nian remained silent, his gaze complex.
He and Mei Ji?
Impossible. If he claimed to have no feelings for Mei Ji, that would be a lie.
However, he was sure that his feelings for Mei Ji were purely physical.
In that case, it wasn't true love, just desire.
If it's just desire, then better to let it go.
"You don't understand!" Xu Nian said, looking at Shi Guangxu.
"Stop acting like a love sage. If you like her, sleep with her; if not, just move on. Why so many issues?" Shi Guangxu said openly.
Xu Nian shook his head, reluctant to say more.
Their viewpoints were different, and neither could be deemed right or wrong.
He just chose to stick to his beliefs.
"Boom!"
At that moment, Xu Nian's gaze suddenly turned sharp, and the next moment he pulled Shi Guangxu aside.
Just as Xu Nian moved, his ship was sliced in half by an overwhelming Sword Radiance.
That Sword Radiance almost struck them directly.
Though it wouldn't harm Xu Nian, it was a different story for Shi Guangxu.
That Sword Radiance could kill him.
"Who?" Shi Guangxu erupted in anger, glaring at the surrounding space filled with debris.
"Swish!"
At that moment, five figures rushed over from the distance.
All of them wore golden masks, and their cultivation was all at the Peak of Tribulation Crossing.
"Mu Residence!" Xu Nian spat out two words.
Clearly, these five were assassins from the Mu Residence.
It seemed the Mu Residence's assassins had been lying in wait outside their Tianbao Star, waiting for them to come out.
"Xu Nian, Shi Guangxu, you've landed on the Mu Residence's wanted list; don't count on surviving." One of the golden-masked assassins spoke.
Upon hearing this, Shi Guangxu was filled with rage.
Xu Nian, however, started to laugh, saying, "Do you believe you can kill me?"
Not to mention five at the Peak of Tribulation Crossing; even five early-stage Earth Immortals might not intimidate him now.
"It's enough, attack!" The assassin wasted no words, directly attacking Xu Nian.
"Xu, you're the one who can fight; it's all on you now." Shi Guangxu quickly said, hiding behind Xu Nian.
Xu Nian snorted with laughter, then focused on the approaching assassins.
A glint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
"Since you wish to die, don't blame me." Xu Nian sneered coldly.
The next moment, he punched out directly.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!"
Five consecutive explosions.
All five at the Peak of Tribulation Crossing burst apart, turning into five clouds of blood mist.
"What! That powerful?" Shi Guangxu's eyes widened in disbelief.
How did he do that?
One punch to obliterate five at the Peak of Tribulation Crossing.
"Just using some domain-level applications of Profound Argumentation. Once your Profound Argumentation breaks through to domain-level, you'll understand." Xu Nian explained with a laugh.
"Come on, does it have to be so heartbreaking?" Shi Guangxu couldn't help but curse.
He had cultivated for decades and still hadn't even touched the threshold of the domain level.
And this guy handles domain use like drinking water.
"Xu Nian, are you taking on apprentices?" Shi Guangxu suddenly looked at Xu Nian, eyes full of allure.
Xu Nian instantly took a step back, a sense of dread rising.
"How about you take me as your apprentice; I can warm your bed." Shi Guangxu said with a sly look.
"Scram!"
Without even looking, Xu Nian kicked Shi Guangxu's butt.
Shi Guangxu was sent flying, landing heavily on an uninhabited planet.
"If you're not taking apprentices, no need to get so mad!" Shi Guangxu said with an aggrieved face.
He then flew out from the uninhabited planet once more.
Xu Nian ignored Shi Guangxu and instead looked toward the direction of Guihai Star.
"It seems it's time to pay Guihai Star a visit, to let them understand the consequence of crossing me." Having said that, Xu Nian prepared to board another ship.
"Wait for me!" Shi Guangxu yelled, realizing Xu Nian intended to leave him behind.
Xu Nian found it amusing; this guy really was a living treasure.
