Xing Jue's words caused everyone's expression to change drastically. All of them cast doubtful gazes at Xing Jue because Xing Jue's words were filled with undisguised contempt. They did not dare to believe that a mortal from the Sky Martial Continent would be so arrogant.
"Brat, do you want to die?"
The burly man who had already stood up was even more furious. Although he did not come from the continent that was ranked in the top of the rankings, he was not from the bottom either. So in his opinion, Xing Jue's words were simply a humiliation.
"What? You don't dare? " However, to everyone's surprise, Xing Jue ignored the burly man's words and looked directly at the other two mortals behind the burly man.
"Don't dare? What a joke! "
"Brother Zhao, since this brat is itching for a beating, let's just help him and let him know how high the heavens are."
Xing Jue's words had clearly thoroughly infuriated the other two mortals. As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived beside the burly man and exchanged glances.
From the looks of it, the three of them seemed to have known each other before and should have come from the same continent. Furthermore, from the way the three of them were acting, it seemed that they did not plan to just teach Xing Jue a lesson.
"Xing Jue, …"
At this moment, Uncle Pang's expression could be said to be extremely unsightly. Even a fool could see that the situation was not good. At this moment, he really wanted to open his mouth and stop Xing Jue, but due to the threat of the three ushers, he did not know what to do. He could only cast a pleading gaze at Xing Jue, indicating that Xing Jue should not compete with the three of them.
"Uncle Pang, now I will let you personally see what level the mortals from the Sky Martial Continent are at."
Meeting Uncle Pang's gaze, Xing Jue smiled and patted his shoulder. Then, under Uncle Pang's worried and uneasy gaze, he walked towards the center of the courtyard.
Bang!
Just as Xing Jue walked to the center of the courtyard, he heard a muffled "bang" sound. The burly man, who had been patient for a long time, took a big step forward and took the lead to rush toward Xing Jue. Although this burly man's figure was slightly heavy, his speed was not slow. He was like a cheetah running in the jungle, and when he ran, there was a burst of wind sound.
"Brat, die!"
Accompanied by a furious roar, the burly man had already arrived in front of Xing Jue. He swung his arms and countless fist shadows, accompanied by gusts of wind, smashed towards Xing Jue from all directions.
"So powerful!"
Although the burly man's attack seemed simple, both his speed and strength were extraordinary. Even Uncle Pang and the three ushers, who had already reached the intermediate level of Battle-Saint, were shocked by it.
Even though Uncle Pang and the others were a level higher than Xing Jue, when it came to battle techniques and actual combat strength, they were far inferior to ordinary people like Xing Jue.
Moreover, even they felt threatened by this burly man's attack. At this moment, Uncle Pang, who was already worried about Xing Jue, turned completely pale.
"Heh …"
However, compared to Uncle Pang's worry, the other ushers and the two who had yet to make a move were gloating over Xing Jue's misfortune. They could not wait for the burly man to cripple Xing Jue with a single punch so that he would not be able to participate in the Divine Secret Battalion's assessment.
"Tsk, are you reluctant to use your Battle Qi?"
Facing the burly man's direct physical attack, Xing Jue shook his head in boredom. Although the burly man's attack seemed airtight, in Xing Jue's eyes, it was full of loopholes and could not withstand a single blow.
If the burly man had used a killing move, Xing Jue would have found it more interesting. However, he did not expect that he would be reluctant to even use a martial technique and directly use his physical body to fight against Xing Jue.
Xing Jue could also guess the reason why the burly man was unwilling to use a martial technique. In the Asura Continent, there was no Battle Qi for them to absorb. Moreover, martial techniques relied on Battle Qi. Therefore, in order to preserve his strength, he chose to use the most direct physical attack. However, this was also the reason why he suffered such a crushing defeat.
"Break!"
Suddenly, Xing Jue clenched one of his fists and fiercely punched. His speed was like a bolt of lightning that streaked across the sky. With a terrifying force, he directly attacked the burly man.
"Boom!"
Xing Jue's speed was too fast. No one was able to clearly see Xing Jue's attack. By the time they reacted, the burly man, who had an imposing aura, had already been sent flying.
"Bang!"
"Ah, my hand!"
The power of Xing Jue's punch was not to be underestimated. The burly man, who was hit head-on, was sent flying several meters away before landing heavily on the ground. He began to roll back and forth as he painfully howled. At this moment, the skin on his fists had been split open, revealing the white bones of his hands.
"Brat, you are so ruthless."
Seeing the burly man in such a miserable state, the other two men were even more furious. As they spoke, the surface of their bodies began to emit a dense dark red Battle Qi. It seemed that they were going to show their true strength.
"Swoosh!"
"Are you only going to use your ultimate move now? It's too late."
However, what they did not expect was that just as they were about to use their martial technique, they only saw a blur in front of them. This was the person they wanted to deal with, Xing Jue.
"Lie down for me."
Xing Jue circulated the Soul Devouring Art. His speed and strength far surpassed that of an ordinary person. With a swing of his arms, two powerful fists shot out at the same time. With two flashes of white light, the chests of the two men were heavily injured.
"Puchi, puchi!"
Two streams of blood sprayed in the air as the bodies of the two men were sent flying. By the time Uncle Pang and the others reacted, the two of them had already fallen miserably beside the burly man.
"This …"
The scene in front of them happened too quickly, causing Uncle Pang and the three guides to be greatly shocked. Of the three mortals, one had broken palms, revealing the white bones of his hands. The other two had blood dripping from the corners of their mouths. Their faces were as pale as paper. It was obvious that they had suffered serious internal injuries. At this moment, the three of them had already lost the ability to continue fighting.
Yet, Xing Jue had defeated the three of them at such a speed with the same level of strength. This was simply something that Uncle Pang and the others had never seen before. At this moment, they were all dumbfounded as they stared at the scene in front of them, at a loss of what to do.
"Uncle Pang, you've met your old friend. Let's go." At this moment, Xing Jue lightly clapped his hands, then turned around and walked out of the courtyard house.
"Xing Jue, you …" After hearing Xing Jue's words, Uncle Pang was stunned. By the time he reacted, Xing Jue had already walked out of the door. Therefore, he did not have the time to ask any questions and immediately chased after Xing Jue.
Seeing that Xing Jue and Uncle Pang were about to leave, the three ushers shouted angrily, "Pang San, you instigated the mortals and severely injured the mortals we were tasked to escort. And now, you want to leave just like that?"
Like Uncle Pang, they were all commoners of the Starfall Empire. In order to obtain the task of escorting people, they had put in a lot of effort. The three mortals that were severely injured by Xing Jue were their hope to become rich. Now that they had been beaten to such a state by Xing Jue, their hearts ached. Naturally, they would not allow Uncle Pang and Xing Jue to leave just like that.
However, there was a rule in the empire that attacking mortals was a crime punishable by death. Therefore, they could only vent their anger on Uncle Pang.
"This …"
Faced with the three's questioning, Uncle Pang's body could not help but tremble violently. Beads of sweat the size of beans continuously dripped down from his forehead. At this moment, he could be said to be completely intimidated by the three of them.
"The three of you escorted mortals together are no match for me. If you think that this is a glorious thing, you can go ahead and announce it. We will not stop you."
At this moment, Xing Jue turned his head and spoke indifferently. Then, without even looking at the expressions of the three, he led Uncle Pang towards the center of the county.
This time around, the three guides did not open their mouths to stop them. Instead, they clenched their fists tightly and gritted their teeth as they looked at Xing Jue and uncle Pang's gradually disappearing figures. Their twitching faces revealed just how unwilling they were at this moment.
However, they did not dare to stop Xing Jue and Uncle Pang because Xing Jue was right. If they were to announce this matter, they would be the ones who would suffer the most.
Because if the Secret Battalion really found out that the mortals they had escorted were so weak, they might not even be qualified to apply for the assessment. At that time, the gains would not make up for the losses. Therefore, at this moment, they could only swallow their anger and suffer in silence.
"Sigh ~"
The three ushers could not help but let out a long sigh when they turned around to look at the three mortals who were lying on the ground. At this moment, they were extremely regretful. Initially, they wanted to use these extraordinary mortals to teach Xing Jue a lesson. Who would have thought that Xing Jue would be so powerful, beating up their money tree to such a state? At this moment, they finally understood what it meant to ask for trouble.
Apart from the Imperial City where the royal family resided and the headquarters of the Secret Battalion in the Starfall Dynasty, the three ushers could not help but let out a long sigh. Although they were called counties, the scale of these counties was definitely not smaller than the Tianwu Continent's Cloud Sect City. There was a dazzling array of shops, and it could be said that they had everything one needed.
The county that Xing Jue and the others were in was the same. The streets were crowded with people. Although it was already sunset, there were still many people wandering around in the city.
"Sigh ~"
Looking at the densely packed streets, Xing Jue couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Although most of the people on the streets did not have the aura of a powerful expert, they were indeed Battle-Saints. Furthermore, many of them were Battle-Saints who were stronger than Xing Jue. Even the children playing on the streets were Battle-Saints. This made Xing Jue, who had cultivated bitterly for several years, feel a little depressed.
"Uncle Pang, could it be that you were born a Battle-Saint?" Xing Jue asked helplessly.
"Of course, if I wasn't a Battle-Saint, I would have carried them to the Abandoned Continent long ago." Hearing Xing Jue's question, Uncle Pang straightened his back and said proudly.
"Abandoned Continent? What's that?" Xing Jue asked curiously.
"There are only two types of babies born on the Asura Continent. The first type are babies born with the physique of a Battle-Saint. These babies can stay on the Asura Continent and grow up.
"The other type are babies who haven't reached the Battle-Saint level and have a weaker physique. On the Asura Continent, if they don't have the strength of a Battle-Saint, they won't be able to resist the corrosion of the power of Asura. Therefore, the dynasty will send these babies to the Abandoned Continent that doesn't have the power of Asura.
"The children there will also be taken care of. However, when they grow to a certain age, their memories and power will be erased and they will be sent to the mortal world. Only when they reach the Battle-Saint level can they return to the Asura Continent." Hearing Xing Jue's question, Uncle Pang explained in detail.
