This scene left Xia Yu’s three bodyguards in profound shock.
While Xia Yu’s strength wasn’t exceptionally high, he was by no means weak. Under his full assault, any one of them would have been forced to retreat and avoid his might. Yet, Wu Tian not only showed no intention of dodging but had Xia Yu subdued in an instant! Such power was beyond their wildest imagination!
Wu Tian’s slap hadn't been light. Xia Yu, sprawled on the ground, saw stars. His cheek swelled up, and blood trickled from both nostrils. Wu Tian released Zhou Qian’s waist, then placed a foot on Xia Yu’s chest, looking down at him. "I said you only have this much strength, and you only have this much strength. If you want to wrestle with me, you're not qualified yet!"
A fierce aura swept out from Wu Tian, making the air in the entire private room turn exceptionally cold. The three bodyguards couldn't help but shiver, their eyes widening with even greater astonishment. Zhou Qian also parted her red lips slightly, momentarily unable to believe that the person before her was Wu Tian. After all, the presence Wu Tian displayed was overwhelmingly potent! It was the kind of aura only a protagonist in a novel would possess, an aura of being supreme in heaven and earth, with no equal!
Xia Yu finally managed to recover from his dazed state. His heart filled with panic, he shouted hoarsely, "What are you standing there for? Attack him!"
The three bodyguards exchanged glances. From their perspective, they truly didn't want to engage Wu Tian. However, they had no choice. They were trained by the Xia family, and failing to protect their master would mean certain death upon their return. Thus, they nodded in unison, adopted their stances, and charged at Wu Tian with a fierce posture.
These bodyguards were considered masters within the Xia family; otherwise, they wouldn't have been Xia Yu's attendants. Each of them exuded a more potent aura than Xia Yu! For a moment, it seemed as if waves of scorching heat enveloped Wu Tian.
The Xia family's ancestral palm technique was called the Blazing Fire Palm, a formidable and aggressive style. Those struck by this palm technique would be instantly consumed by intense heat, hence its name. The Blazing Fire Palm had ten levels, with Xia Yu having reached the third level, while the three bodyguards had all reached the fifth. When they attacked together, even Wang Shi of the Tian Can Sect wouldn't have been able to withstand them head-on.
However, despite the ferocity of their assault, Wu Tian showed no sign of retreating; he didn't even blink. He condensed the spiritual energy within his body and suddenly let out a deafening roar! This roar was as wild as a lion's! Instantly, the condensed spiritual energy surged out like a raging torrent, crashing into the three bodyguards!
"Not good!" Sensing the incoming aura, the faces of the three bodyguards drastically changed! They wanted to cancel their attack, but it was too late! The wave of spiritual energy slammed into the three bodyguards. In an instant, their internal energy was shattered by the spiritual energy, their Dantians nearly broken! The bodyguards were sent flying backward, crashing heavily against the wall. Immediately, spiderweb-like cracks rapidly spread across the wall. Then, the wall collapsed, revealing the private room behind it.
At that moment, the guests in that private room were still engaged in drinking and merriment. The sudden commotion utterly terrified them. They remained in the motion of clinking glasses, but their expressions were frozen as if they had seen a ghost. A few seconds later, a woman let out an extremely piercing scream. Only then did the others finally react and quickly fled the private room.
The three bodyguards had almost lost the strength to get up. Their internal energy had been completely scattered, their years of cultivation ruined. Their bodies had also sustained significant injuries; each of them spat blood, their faces as pale as paper. The entire private room was eerily silent, as if the fall of a needle could be heard.
Then, Wu Tian's clear, cold voice rang out, "Hey, do you still want to fight me?" This question was, of course, directed at Xia Yu, who stared with wide eyes, utterly unable to believe what he was seeing. What… what was going on? Logically, shouldn't this guy be just some ordinary loser found anywhere on the street? But how could he possess such formidable strength? Xia Yu's head buzzed again.
Seeing his silence, Wu Tian simply picked him up as if he were a dog, looked him in the eye, and said, "Hey, I'm talking to you. Do you understand?" Xia Yu shivered violently, finally snapping out of his shock. He stammered, "You… you… who exactly are you? How can you be so powerful?" Wu Tian chuckled mockingly, "Who am I? Shouldn't you know very well?" "You called me a loser, so I'm a loser. What's there to ask?" Xia Yu felt like crying. He thought to himself, what kind of loser are you? Losers aren't this good at fighting; you're clearly playing the pig to eat the tiger! He was speechless for a long time, but fearing what Wu Tian might do to him, he finally managed to say, "A misunderstanding… this is all a misunderstanding!" "I didn't know you were an ultimate master. If I had known, how would I dare to offend you!" Wu Tian smiled and said, "Oh, so what you're saying is, if I were just an ordinary person, you would have bullied me to death, right?" "If you think that way, then I'm sorry. In my eyes, you're no different from an ordinary person. Can I also kill you?" Although Wu Tian's words were somewhat playful, Xia Yu still felt a strong scent of blood washing over him. Terrified to the point of wetting himself, he shouted without thinking, "Hey! Don't do anything rash! I'm from the Xia family!" "I'm telling you, if you dare to treat me disrespectfully, our Xia family will never let you go!" After all, Xia Yu was accustomed to a life of privilege. When he truly encountered someone stronger than him, he would panic. Of course, before Wu Tian, he had never been in such a situation. Wu Tian scoffed, "You're on the verge of death, and you're still spouting such nonsense?" "Fine, it seems there's nothing more to say between us." "Just tell me directly, how do you want to die? Although I'm not a good person, I can fulfill this last wish for you." Xia Yu cried out in his heart, you're not a good person at all; you're a pure villain! How can you talk like that? Are you even making any sense?
