Chapter 394 You Can't Beat Him
Xuande's rough voice echoed in the square.
The entire room fell silent.
Two seconds later, a piercing scream erupted from the crowd.
"Ahhh! It's a ghost!"
"He's truly the top spender! The man who spent 100,000 gold coins to acquire a mythical mount!"
"Star Source Voice was actually organized by You Shen? That's amazing!"
The players who were initially stunned by Xuande's roar now had their eyes shining. They completely ignored the enraged minotaur city lord and rushed towards Chen You.
"God of Travel, look here! I'm your fan of ten years!" A female player with fox ears waved frantically, her tail leaving afterimages.
"Nonsense, how long has You Shen been playing? Where did this 10-year veteran fan come from!" A male player with cat ears next to her shoved her aside and stared at Chen You with a fanatical expression.
"God! This talent show is so much fun! With your looks and charisma, it would be an injustice if you didn't debut as the center!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Let the God of War himself take the field!"
"We need a master to demonstrate the stage performance! We want to see the God of Dance!"
"Let's have a rap, dance, and sing!"
"I'm going to give the God of War 100,000 more firepower points!"
Several quick-moving players even brought up the system's recording function and took a series of photos of Chen You's face.
Chen You's lips twitched as he listened to the players' shouts.
He just wanted to get a mark, how did it turn into a huge fan meeting?
He's a cultivator, singing and dancing in front of so many people? What's going on in these players' heads?
Chen You maintained his aloof demeanor, his hands behind his back, ignoring the surrounding noise.
Xuande stood on the high platform, watching the crowd that, instead of being indignant, had fallen into a frenzy of celebration, and the whole bull froze.
His vision was that after learning the truth, all the citizens of the city would unite in hatred and drive out the culprit who had corrupted the martial spirit of Sanjing City.
The results of it?
This group of people are actually begging this scourge to dance.
Xuande's hand holding the giant sword began to tremble violently, and two thick streams of white breath came out of his nostrils.
"You...you are utterly hopeless!" Xuande roared.
Hearing the city lord's roar, the NPCs all shrank back.
The berserkers in pink dresses quickly covered their faces, trying to minimize their presence.
Their programmed instincts prevented them from defying the city lord's authority.
But the players are different.
Players aren't buying it at all.
"Lord of the city, stop fooling around, you're blocking my view of the procession."
"Exactly, what's the point of all this fighting and killing? Isn't it better for everyone to enjoy being fans together?"
"Lord Xuande, why don't you sign up too? Your physique would definitely be adorably contrasting when you do otaku dance. I'll vote for you!" a bold player suggested loudly.
Xuande's defenses were completely breached.
A cute contrast?
He, the dignified city lord of Sanjing City, a meat grinder on the battlefield, was actually summoned to dance a home dance.
Xuande turned his head and stared intently at Chen You.
"You're spreading heresy! I'll chop you up today!"
Xuande exerted force with both legs, and the stone slabs on the high platform shattered instantly.
His massive body soared into the air, his hands raised high above the enormous sword as wide as a door panel, and with a violent surge of air, he slashed straight at Chen You.
In mid-air, Xuande's muscles bulged high, and the surface of the giant sword gleamed with a dazzling red light.
Skill activation: [Berserk Critical Strike]!
"Holy crap, the city lord has gone berserk!"
"Watch out, you wandering spirit!"
The players gasped and scattered.
Chen You stood there, watching the huge shadow falling from mid-air.
He sighed.
"You really have to take action?"
Chen You raised his right hand and made a grabbing motion in the air.
A flash of golden light, and the Jade Emperor Sword appeared in his hand.
He didn't use any skills or items.
Xuande's health bar shows LV50.
With his current stats, basic attacks are enough.
Chen You flipped his wrist, and the Jade Emperor Sword was held horizontally above his head.
"clang--"
A deafening metallic clang rang out.
The stone slab beneath Chen You's feet shattered inch by inch, and spiderweb-like cracks spread for more than ten meters.
But his own figure did not sway at all, and Mo Yuanxinghe's robe fluttered in the wind.
Xuande felt his hands go numb and his tiger's mouth split open.
His proud, all-out attack was actually blocked by this seemingly frail stranger with one hand.
A large damage number floated above Chen You's head.
"-1"
Forced health deduction.
The audience was silent.
The players stared wide-eyed at the number that hadn't even scratched the surface.
"Single-digit damage? Has the city lord not eaten?"
Just how high is the God of Travel's defense?!
Xuande landed on the ground and took three steps back before regaining his balance.
He looked at Chen You, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"You... you're playing tricks!"
Xuande refused to believe in evil and raised the giant sword again.
"[Whirlwind Slash]!"
Xuande transformed into a red tornado, his massive sword blade slicing through the air with a piercing shriek as it hurtled toward Chen You.
Chen You shook his head.
"Too slow."
His footwork shifted, leaving a trail of afterimages in his wake.
Xuande's whirlwind slash missed its target, carving a deep trench in the ground.
Chen You appeared to Xuande's side, and gently swung the Jade Emperor Sword.
There was no flashy sword energy, only a strike that returned to its original simplicity.
The sword struck Xuande's side waist.
"Bang!"
Xuande's massive body flew out, smashing through three stone pillars before crashing heavily into the wall at the edge of the plaza.
The wall collapsed, burying Xuande.
"hiss--"
The entire audience gasped.
Those NPC berserkers who had previously held Xuande in awe were now utterly dumbfounded.
The invincible city lord in their eyes was actually sent flying by a single sword strike?
The players were even more excited.
"That was amazing! The moves, the power!"
"The wandering spirit taught me swordsmanship! I'm not learning to dance anymore!"
Splash!
Pushing aside the rubble, Xuande got up, covered in dust and dirt.
He wasn't seriously injured; Chen You had shown mercy by using the blade of the sword instead of the inner blade.
But this overwhelming blow was more painful for him than killing him outright.
Xuande was panting heavily, gripping the giant sword tightly.
He knew he couldn't beat the person in front of him, but was he just going to surrender like that?
No! Absolutely not!
As the lord of Sanjing City, his dignity forbade him to surrender!
"drink!"
Xuande roared angrily.
His muscles swelled rapidly, and large beads of blood seeped from his skin.
A system notification immediately appeared in front of Chen You.
[System Notification: Lord Xuande of Sanjing City has entered "Burning Blood Battle" state, and his level has been temporarily increased to 60.]
The players also realized something was wrong and quickly retreated.
Chen You gripped the Jade Emperor Sword tightly, channeling his spiritual energy to prepare for a serious confrontation.
"Even if I die today, I will scatter your ashes!" Xuande gripped the two giant swords with both hands, leaped up suddenly, and brought up a gust of wind.
Just then.
"elder brother!"
Her voice was clear and crisp, with a hint of coquettishness.
Xuande, who was in mid-air, suddenly shuddered.
He forcibly interrupted the skill's operation, causing his qi and blood to instantly reverse.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood and crashed straight to the ground.
The ground was smashed into a deep crater.
A little girl, less than 1.5 meters tall, wearing a pink and white tutu and with two orange cat ears on her head, ran over on the pebbles.
