Chapter 1804: Chapter 1801: Astonishing Everyone
In an instant, the entire world seemed to pause, everyone frozen in place, the air as if it had suddenly solidified.
The onlooking townsfolk had their mouths agape, expressions frozen in various forms of astonishment, their eyes filled with profound shock, as if they couldn’t believe their ears.
Some of the Lin Family members even rubbed their ears instinctively, doubting whether they had experienced auditory hallucinations.
No one had expected that Xu Wendong, who used to be timid and considered a wastrel, not only boldly refused the Huang Family’s request to break off the engagement but also took the initiative to propose a breakup with the Huang Family!
This act was undoubtedly like dropping a bombshell into a calm lake, stirring up monstrous waves.
Although this move successfully restored his dignity, everyone knew in their hearts that this would inevitably infuriate the Huang Family.
At that moment.
Everyone’s gaze on Xu Wendong completely changed.
They could truly feel that Xu Wendong’s temperament had undergone earth-shattering changes.
The previous timidity and mediocrity had vanished, replaced by a depth and mystery, as if he had become a fog that made it impossible to fathom his thoughts.
Huang Ying stood rooted in place, her face turning ghastly pale, full of shock and disbelief.
She had been certain that when the Huang Family proposed breaking the engagement, Xu Wendong would crawl on the ground like a pathetic worm, begging for the continuation of this marriage agreement.
But reality struck her like a loud slap, catching her off guard.
Xu Wendong’s approach of retreating to advance had greatly exceeded her expectations, a strong sense of frustration surged over her like a tide, leaving her unable to accept this sudden change for a while.
"You audacious wastrel, how dare you be so insolent?" The Huang Family’s Housekeeper could no longer contain his rage, glaring with eyes wide open, and yelled in rage.
The Huang Family’s Housekeeper, with murderous intent surging around him, as a Soul Transformation Realm expert, moved like a bolt of lightning, instantly closing in, his right fist, drawing howling winds with its mountainous momentum, aimed straight at Xu Wendong’s face.
The whistling fist wind made the nearby people’s hair dance wildly, scaring the crowd to retreat, afraid of being hurt by the dreadful aftershock.
The atmosphere on the scene also became extremely heavy, many people held their breath, their eyes showing uncontrollable unease.
Facing the aggressive punch, Xu Wendong remained calm, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Just as the fist was about to hit him, he lightly touched the ground with his toes, dodging sideways, his movements graceful like a phantom.
The Huang Family’s Housekeeper missed his strike, but without any pause, followed up with his left fist, the shadows of his fists heavy, like a barrage of cannonballs, targeting Xu Wendong’s vital areas.
Xu Wendong moved with agile footwork, weaving through the dense shadows of punches with ease, evading each attack just in time.
He dodged while looking for a chance to counterattack.
Suddenly, spotting a flaw in the Huang Family’s Housekeeper’s move, he curled his fingers into a claw, his arm darting out swiftly, accurately grabbing the Huang Family’s Housekeeper’s wrist.
The Huang Family’s Housekeeper was startled, immediately channeling his Netherworld Power, trying to break free, only to find his wrist clamped like in an iron vice, utterly immobile.
Snorting coldly, he quickly turned his other hand into a blade, slashing towards Xu Wendong’s arm.
Seeing this, Xu Wendong neither dodged nor ducked, his body coursing with Netherworld Power, concentrating on his arm to block the attack.
Simultaneously, when the Huang Family’s Housekeeper’s old strength faded and new strength hadn’t arisen, Xu Wendong exerted sudden force, hurling the Huang Family’s Housekeeper out.
The Huang Family’s Housekeeper adjusted his posture mid-air, landing steadily, yet had to retreat several steps before he could stabilize himself.
His face turned terrifyingly sullen, already realizing that this Xu Wendong, once considered a wastrel, now had unfathomable power.
He took a deep breath, launching another attack, Netherworld Power wildly surging around him, transforming into sharp blades shooting towards Xu Wendong.
Xu Wendong’s eyes sharpened, his figure flickered as he took the initiative, charging towards the Huang Family’s Housekeeper.
The two engaged fiercely, the battle reaching a fever pitch.
After an intense exchange, Xu Wendong gradually gained the upper hand.
Seizing the opportunity, he concentrated all his Netherworld Power, unleashing a mighty punch. This punch bore the momentum of mountains and seas, howling towards the Huang Family’s Housekeeper.
The Huang Family’s Housekeeper attempted to evade but found his movements restricted by an invisible force, unable to dodge the deadly blow.
"Bang!"
The Huang Family’s Housekeeper’s body slammed heavily on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
He struggled to rise, but coughed up blood, his face turning as pale as paper.
This scene was like a bombshell, stirring up gigantic waves among the crowd.
The onlookers first stood there in a daze, as if under an immobilization spell, and then erupted in deafening exclamations.
Some were so astonished their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
Others had their eyes wide, as if their eyeballs were about to pop out.
Some couldn’t help but cover their mouths, seemingly unable to believe what just happened before their eyes.
In the crowd, a young cultivator stammered, "Is... is this still the Lin Family’s young master everyone called a wastrel? He actually beat the Huang Family’s Housekeeper at the Soul Transformation Realm like this?"
"Unbelievable, I never thought this guy actually reached the Soul Transformation Realm, that kind of cultivation level, even among the younger generation in Netherworld City, he’s a top expert!"
"If I didn’t guess wrong, this guy must have had some encounter, otherwise it’s impossible to step into the Soul Transformation Realm!"
The crowd was abuzz with discussion, their gazes towards Xu Wendong no longer held any contempt, instead, there was more awe.
The Lin Family’s eyes were also filled with astonishment.
They never imagined that the guy they once bullied and despised at will, would suddenly transform, possessing such astounding strength.
Huang Ying stood in place, her eyes vacant, her face full of disbelief.
Her mind kept replaying all the humiliation and disdain she had shown towards Xu Wendong before.
Now, she felt incredibly ashamed.
After all, even she was only at the Ninth Layer of the Soul Condensing Realm, yet to break through the shackles to become a Soul Transformation Realm expert.
In terms of strength and talent, she was far inferior to Xu Wendong!
The most shocked was the Huang Family’s Housekeeper.
He could sense that Xu Wendong’s cultivation level was far below his.
Yet somehow, even with his higher realm, the opponent’s combat ability was too strong.
Strong enough to bridge the gap between realms, this left him shocked and also instilled a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
While everyone was still immersed in their shock.
Xu Wendong slowly lifted his head, casting a cold glance at Huang Ying before turning around, hands behind his back, entering the Lin Family under the awe of everyone’s gaze.
Although he appeared calm and composed, the moment he turned, his expression suddenly contorted in pain, and crimson blood trickled from the corner of his mouth ···
