Chapter 748 - 678: Human War God

Chapter 748: Chapter 678: Human War God

"Hmm, you’re getting into the swing of things quickly." Tu Xiao’an was gratified, patting the Bull Demon King’s shoulder again in encouragement.

He then found a table in the dining area and sat down.

Soon, the manager, Feng Xi, came over, her pretty face rosy and beaming. "My King, did you sleep well in my aunt’s room yesterday?"

She winked as she spoke.

Tu Xiao’an gave her a knowing look, then asked, "She’s not back yet?"

"Mm... If my aunt returns, I will of course inform you immediately, My King. What would you like to eat?"

Tu Xiao’an said casually, "You can decide."

Feng Xi withdrew. Tu Xiao’an noticed the inn was quite crowded; nearly all of the dozens of tables were occupied.

Moreover, their auras were all very strong.

’With their strength, they must be experts from powerful factions. They’re all loaded, so they probably don’t care about getting ripped off.’

With a quick glance around the dining area, Tu Xiao’an spotted many mid- to high-level War Kings. It looked like they were having breakfast before heading into the mountains.

For now, no one had any leads on the War Relics of Skeleton Mountain, but people had discovered plenty of other treasures there. There were numerous rare beasts whose corpses could be sold for a profit, and the Dao Fruits were especially sought after.

’A market price of ten billion per fruit... even a Snake Emperor like me is tempted.’

’The War Relics in this X City are turning out to be much more promising than the ones in Wencheng.’

’It’s practically driving X City’s economy.’

’If it weren’t for the massive number of beasts that had poured out earlier, forcing the civilians to evacuate, it would have been perfect.’

Crucially, the Spiritual Qi in X City had grown much denser, making it a great place to live and for Cultivation.

Unfortunately, all the ordinary people had been evacuated from the city, turning it into a paradise for adventuring Martial Cultivators.

Maybe it was because this inn belonged to Luo Ziyun, but Tu Xiao’an subconsciously felt a bit like a host here.

He almost felt like this was his own inn.

’What a strange feeling.’

An array of exquisite breakfast dishes, none of them cheap, soon covered Tu Xiao’an’s table.

This time, however, Feng Xi didn’t bother him about payment. Everything was put on the Bull Demon King’s tab.

A security guard with the fighting prowess of a Deep Mountain Demon King was exactly the kind of muscle the inn needed most; a find so rare you couldn’t secure it even if you searched high and low.

Feng Xi felt it was a great bargain. As the manager, her focus was now entirely on the inn’s best interests.

She was more than happy with this arrangement.

Tu Xiao’an was eating with gusto, in high spirits. But then, suddenly—

CLATTER... A new guest, a young man in a black robe, entered the dining area, pulled out a chair, and sat at the table next to Tu Xiao’an’s, apparently to have breakfast.

Tu Xiao’an glanced casually at the black-robed youth, his eyes narrowing with interest.

A waitress, who was a Rank Three Creature, approached. She cast a fearful glance at the black-robed youth and immediately served him wine; he was clearly a regular whose order she already knew.

The black-robed youth sat there alone, drinking quietly, looking as though he was waiting for someone.

Tu Xiao’an’s senses were sharp. ’Someone who can subconsciously frighten a waitress who’s a Rank Three Creature is definitely no ordinary person.’ Though the man was just sitting there, he radiated a terrifying presence, like a dormant volcano. His powerful aura, though faint, was palpable.

If provoked, he would surely erupt.

’Interesting. A War God Level,’ Tu Xiao’an perceived with his Insight.

War God Level was the equivalent of Demon King Level.

’Seeing a human War God this early in the morning... no wonder the waitress was scared. In the Human World, a War God was a major figure, someone who could shake the world with a stomp of their foot.’

’This X City is truly full of hidden masters. Its martial strength is clearly much greater than Wencheng’s.’

Suddenly, the black-robed youth glanced up at Tu Xiao’an, his brow furrowing slightly. He then looked back down at his drink, lost in thought.

Tu Xiao’an looked away. ’A War God might be a monumental figure to others, but to me, he’s really nothing special.’

’Sigh, can’t be helped. When your status and power increase, your perspective naturally changes.’

Before long, another guest arrived: a brawny young man with only one eye. His one-eyed appearance was striking, and a formidable aura surged from his body.

The brawny youth strode in, his single, piercing eye sweeping across the crowd in the dining area.

Perhaps he was looking for a good place to sit.

But that single glance was enough. Battle Intent erupted from his body, as if some presence had instantly ignited his will to fight.

"Hmph?" The one-eyed youth’s expression suddenly darkened. A two-meter-long saber, wreathed in flames, appeared in his hand.

SWOOSH!

The distance from the counter to the dining area was a full thirty meters.

The one-eyed youth vanished, leaving a fiery red afterimage as his long saber chopped straight down toward the head of the black-robed youth beside Tu Xiao’an. The blade left cracks in the very air it passed through, accompanied by a continuous series of deafening cracks.

The sheer suddenness of the attack left everyone else in the dining area utterly shocked.

’He didn’t even say a word before attacking. What a ruthless bastard.’

Even Tu Xiao’an was a little surprised, and he was the one sitting closest to the black-robed youth.

"Hmph. Annoying fly," the black-robed youth snorted. He flicked the wine cup in his hand. Wreathed in crackling electricity, the small cup shot forward with a low whistle, smashing into the saber’s edge like a meteor. A deep, vibrating CRACK! echoed out.

The wine cup instantly disintegrated into dust.

The black-robed youth himself dissipated, turning into streaks of electric snakes as he rapidly retreated.

The entire exchange happened in a flash, leaving Tu Xiao’an stunned.

’One wields a saber wreathed in Flame, and the other seems to possess Thunder Power.’

’Could these two possess Elemental Power?’

’Hmm, no, that’s not right.’ Tu Xiao’an reconsidered. ’These two must be using some human Cultivation Technique I’m not familiar with.’

’True Elemental Ability isn’t that simple to obtain.’

’Cultivated Creatures gain unique Talent Skills from their bloodlines as their Cultivation grows. Humans, on the other hand, have persisted for ages and rely on powerful Cultivation Techniques to enhance their combat strength.’

In just one exchange.

"Stop!" The manager, Feng Xi, flashed into view, her voice an angry roar.

’Who dares cause a scene in the inn this early in the morning? Are they just looking for trouble?’

’Do they have any respect for me as the manager?’

However, the one-eyed youth who had attacked first completely ignored the manager, Feng Xi.

Wielding his long saber, the one-eyed youth’s aura was terrifyingly powerful. Like a Divine Dragon soaring to the heavens, he continued to hunt down the black-robed youth. His speed was incredible; as he used Shift Form and Position, the very space around him trembled violently, sending out intense shockwaves.

In their wake, tables, chairs, bottles, and dishes disintegrated into dust, more fragile than paper.

"You’re courting death!"

A low, hoarse voice echoed through the dining area as an eerie flash of thunderous light flared.

BOOM! The fiery red figure and the thunderous figure clashed within the dining hall. BANG! BANG! BANG! Space rippled with every impact.

CRASH...!

The two figures slammed into each other a final time and were violently thrown apart.
