Chapter 52: Take My Move!

  "Do you feel a sense of accomplishment bullying us few kids? Or is it that, being the same age as you, you can only be bullied?" Shangguan Yu said in a low voice. The person in front of him was the so-called Ninth Master, who should naturally be more formidable than the Fourteenth Master.

  And this so-called bandit, it seems, is also a well-organized group. So, if this so-called Ji Dangjia killed those children, it would be a very shameful thing to spread the word. How many people in this world can afford to lose face? A tree that loses its bark will surely die, and a person who loses their face will surely die too. If someone really doesn't care about losing face, they would be an extremely terrifying person.

  "Hmph, don't try to intimidate me with your so-called 'fierce' tactics. When I was roaming the world, you weren't even born yet." The Ninth Master said in a gloomy tone.

  Shangguan Yu's heart sank, Jiudangjia was right, the few children were indeed too tender. If Jiudangjia really wanted to kill them, Shangguan Yu could only pin his hopes on Jiu Laolao.

  "But dealing with you few kids, it's indeed embarrassing to spread the word." Jiudangjia spoke again, but his face was extremely calm, and no expression could be seen.

  Shangguan Yu looked at Jiudangjia with a heavy gaze, he didn't think that this Jiudangjia would really let them off. Qin Shou also furrowed his brow, he also knew that they were in trouble this time. He didn't know if this old man would help or not, Qin Shou glanced at the wine elder behind him.

  Shangguan Jiancheng's face, however, was filled with joy. He didn't want to die here. As long as he reached the Zhenwu Gate, he would find his big brother and naturally do whatever he wanted to Shangguan Yu. It couldn't be said that Shangguan Jiancheng was stupid, it's just that he hadn't thought deeply about it. Now he only wanted to hurry up and reach the Zhenwu Gate, then he could get whatever he wanted whenever he wanted.

  "Alright, you all come out one by one. If anyone can withstand my attack, I'll let the rest of you go. But if no one can, then you're all doomed. So, are you daring enough to take on this gamble?" Jiudangjia smiled, but his eyes didn't show any hint of amusement.

  "Isn't this making things difficult for people? The highest level of our several people is just the human boundary, how can we take your move?" Li Ruolan interrupted.

  "Is that so, you're at least in the Imperial Extreme Realm? Isn't this bullying?" Qin Shou also spoke up, he didn't think he could take a move from an Imperial Extreme Realm expert right now. In the field, only he and Li Ruolan had the highest realm, of course, Jiu Lao was directly excluded.

  "Hmph, that's your problem. Who told you to be born late? This can't be blamed on anyone else. We've made a bet, whether you agree or not, as long as I agree, that's all that matters." Jiudangjia still had that deadpan expression, looking as unpleasant as possible.

  Jiudangjia looked like he was only in his thirties, but now Tianguan Yu knew the truth. On the Tianxuan Continent, a person's age couldn't be discerned from their appearance. To see someone's true age clearly, one would need to have a very high cultivation level or rely on some special artifacts.

  "Now it's up to you to decide who will take this move. The lives of all of you are in the hands of the chosen one, so choose carefully." said Jiu Dangjia.

  "This... is simply outrageous!" Li Ruolan said indignantly.

  "No choice, who made me the fish and him the chopping board? All we can do is what Jiudangjia said, choose one person to take on his move." Shangguan Yu said in a low voice. He glanced at Jiujiu, who was still drinking wine, knowing that he wasn't going to intervene again. It's unknown what kind of situation would make him see Jiujiu take action.

  "Need I say more? Of course, it's me, we're the only ones with the highest realm." Qin Shou said. What he said was indeed correct, only he and Li Ruolan were in the human emperor realm. As for letting Li Ruolan go up, that would be something even Qin Shou's thick skin couldn't handle.

  "No, no, no, I'll go instead. You're an archer, your endurance is definitely not as good as mine." Li Ruolan glared at Qin Shou, as if she would immediately make Qin Shou look good if he disagreed. As everyone knew, Qin Shou was most afraid of her.

  "This time I won't listen to you, as a man, how can I let you, a weak woman, make sacrifices?" At this moment, the slyness on Qin Shou's body was gone, replaced by a tough guy image.

  "What's the point of fighting? You two can go die if you want. Don't lose the bet and get us all killed." Shangguan Jiancheng sneered, he didn't think Qin Shou could withstand Jiudangjia's one move.

  "Which dog is barking wildly? I won't go, are you going to let this dog go up? Who do you think is more powerful between the two of us? I really don't know what your master is doing, how could he just let you out?" Facing Shangguan Jiancheng, Qin Shou wouldn't back down.

  "You, you, you! Fine, go ahead and send yourself to death. Anyway, I have nothing to do with you people, if you die, so be it. Ninth Master, please hurry up and kill these few people. I really admire the Ninth Master, they are simply eggs hitting a rock." Upper Official Yu walked over to Ninth Master's not far away, fawningly looking at Ninth Master.

  Don't say that the above officials look down on Shangguan Jiansheng, even Jiudangjia and a group of bandits don't think much of him. This kind of person is really too detestable, not to mention being afraid of death, but also betraying at the critical moment.

  Jiudangjia glanced at Shangguan Jiancheng, and even if he were to let him kill Shangguan Jiancheng, he wouldn't bother. However, for his own purposes, he smiled as he looked at Shangguan Jiancheng.

  "Alright, I think you're quite likable, so I'll spare your life today. Just stand behind me, or it would be a shame if you got hurt by mistake." said Jiu Dangjia.

  Shangguan Jiancheng was overjoyed when he heard this. He directly ran to the back of Jiudangjia and gave a disgusted look at Shangguan Yu and others. He knew that today, Shangguan Yu and the other five people would probably die here. But he was rejoicing, thinking that his temporary humility could save his life, and he naturally felt like he had gained something.

  "Stop arguing, I'll go." Up to this point, Qin Shou and Li Ruolan had been debating endlessly. Finally, Shangguan Yu spoke up. He knew that after the last breakthrough, his absolute power was now stronger than Qin Shou's.

  Qin Shou and Li Ruolan disagreed, in their opinion, Shangguan Yu was simply trying to help them take the blame. Although they knew that Shangguan Yu was relatively strong, they didn't think he could withstand a move from Jiudangjia.

  The three of them started arguing, and Xiang Tianlang and Li Wei naturally didn't say a word. The two of them also had some self-awareness, and compared to the other three perverts, they were much weaker. Rather than harming others, it was better to let one of the three go up.

  "Let Shangguan Yu go up, you two don't have any hope." said Jiu Lao. Others didn't know, but Jiu Lao was certain that Shangguan Yu had gone through a heavenly tribulation. Although the heavenly tribulation looked weak and strange, he could confirm that it was indeed a heavenly tribulation. Moreover, Shangguan Yu had previously taken the gallbladder of the hundred-zhang giant snake. In terms of brute strength, the other few people were definitely no match for Shangguan Yu.

  Jiu Lao's words made Qin Shou and Li Ruolan's faces turn red with anxiety. However, they understood that Jiu Lao must know more than them, so if he said so, then let Shangguan Yu go up. Qin Shou had known Shangguan Yu for a long time, so naturally, he trusted him. As for Li Ruolan, seeing no other way out, she could only choose to believe in Shangguan Yu as well.

  "Have you made your choice? If so, then hurry up and come out!" Jiudangjia looked impatient, as if doing these things was a waste of his time.

  "Alright, let me experience your superior skills then." Xiang Guan Yu stepped forward a few steps and stood in front of Jiu Dang Jia.

  "Hmm, you kid have guts, I appreciate that. However, you've offended me and I don't have a choice. Alright, I'll use only one-tenth of my strength, consider it a way out for you." The Ninth Master's face was full of mockery, but when he said he would use only one-tenth of his strength, it wasn't because he really wanted to let Uemura Ushio off the hook. It was just that in his heart, he looked down on Uemura Ushio's strength and thought that even using one-tenth of his power would be more than enough to deal with him.

  Jiudangjia didn't take out any weapons. To deal with a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, if he used weapons, wouldn't that be ridiculous? In his opinion, these people were definitely not from any famous schools. The fact that a twelve or thirteen-year-old could reach the realm of human form was already an extraordinary thing. How could he possibly want to take out his true abilities against someone at this level?

  "Come on, I'll take this move." Shangguan Yu's expression was very calm. At such moments, even if he was nervous or scared, it would be useless. Rather than that, it's better to face it calmly. The opponent is strong, but with just one successful move, it shouldn't be easy to kill him, right?

  Jiudangjia suddenly disappeared in front of Shangguan Yu, and Shangguan Yu knew that Jiudangjia's attack had definitely begun. He knew that no matter how he turned his head or searched everywhere, he probably wouldn't be able to find Jiudangjia. The gap between the two people's martial arts realms was simply too great, and there was basically nothing comparable.

  "Little Yu, watch your head!" Qin Shou shouted loudly. He had discovered the location of Jiu Dangjia's master. Upon hearing Qin Shou's shout, Shangguan Yu immediately reacted and shot upwards at his fastest speed. Despite the enormous distance between them, he did not intend to give up resisting.

  "Joke, how could I possibly sneak up on you? Now that you've found me, I'll make my move."

  Jiudangjia's entire hand turned black, and his palm contained a vast amount of energy. Jiudangjia let out a cold snort and directly struck Shangguan Yu with one palm. The place where Shangguan Yu stood, all the light disappeared, leaving only endless darkness.

  Shangguan Yu only felt a massive mountain pressing down on him, rendering him completely unable to resist. With a loud "boom", Shangguan Yu felt himself plummeting downwards for what seemed like an eternity. Immediately after, he felt the crushing force emanating from all directions, as if it was going to pulverize him.

  The darkness disappeared and the light returned. However, Qin Shou found that there was no longer any sign of Shangguan Yu in the field.
