Chapter 92: Getting Rich
Zhou had encountered many so-called geniuses in his life — some truly terrifying, monstrous talents who defied common sense. But in this moment, he cursed his luck for ever crossing paths with Yu Xuan.
Just what kind of freak is this kid?
For a single person to so effortlessly overpower multiple opponents above his cultivation level... it could only mean one thing — this wasn’t just any genius. This was a rarity, someone whose existence would eventually shake entire sects.
Yu Xuan released his grip.
Zhou collapsed to the ground, coughing and clutching his throat, gasping for air.
"Don’t try to run again," Yu Xuan said, his voice eerily calm. "And believe me when I say this, if I have to break a few bones to get answers, I will. And I promise, the pain will be worse than anything you’ve ever imagined."
A cold chill ran down Zhou’s spine. He had no doubt the boy meant every word.
Still, full cooperation? That wasn’t an option. He could give Yu Xuan just enough to get out of this situation with minimal damage.
Losing face — or even a few items, was better than being dragged to the Punishment Hall. Those bastards were demons in human skin.
Yet... even though their clash had been brief, Zhou couldn’t fathom how someone at the first layer of Qi Condensation had completely subdued him.
His thoughts must have shown on his face, because Yu Xuan tilted his head slightly, a faint, unreadable smile on his lips.
Then, without a word, he activated it again — [Immortal’s Gaze].
