Stealing The Yuri Protagonist Harem (Xianxia) - Chapter 49: Terrifying, Truly Terrifying

When Luo Wusheng mentioned that the person on the stage was merely Li Xing’s first opponent of the day, the onlookers around him secretly laughed in their hearts.

Even though there was a slight difference in their realms, the reliability of Taoist Marked Ordinary Artifacts far surpassed any realm differences.

It seemed that this Holy Saint of the Demon Sect had no clue about the reality.

Of course, they only dared to think these things in their hearts.

But soon, they couldn’t laugh anymore.

…

On the martial stage.

The Taoist Artifact Pavilion cultivator named Zhang Qifeng didn’t react when he saw Li Xing raise his gun and fire.

Mainly because he couldn’t react in time.

Even he had to admit that although that special ordinary Artifact lacked power, its speed was indeed terrifyingly fast.

However, even if he could react, he wouldn’t have done anything in response.

After two days of observation, he was well aware that even if hit by that special ordinary Artifact, it would only cause a minor scratch, not enough to affect his combat power in the slightest.

Feeling something hit his left side, his expression relaxed a bit.

The impact was just as he had imagined, if not weaker.

Such a minor injury could be healed instantly with spiritual power.

Indeed, his opponent was only at this level.

Thinking this, he relaxed even more.

Relaxed, so relaxed…

In the eyes of the incredulous crowd, this Taoist Artifact Pavilion cultivator slowly closed his eyes.

He fell asleep standing!

And he slept deeply, to the point where he would occasionally snore.

In the silence of the crowd, only the three officers of the Demon Artifact Pavilion remained utterly calm.

Luo Wusheng continued chatting and laughing with Bai Xiaoyao to maintain their good relationship, while Bai Xiaoyao, holding a bag of popcorn, showed a satisfied smile.

On the stage, Li Xing carefully put away the gun at his waist.

Then he strode towards the Taoist Artifact Pavilion cultivator.

First, he took the Taoist Marked Ordinary Artifact from the opponent’s hand and casually threw it out of the ring, then kicked the opponent off the stage.

“Sigh, weak, so weak.”

He sighed as if in regret, then looked down off the stage, slightly raised his chin, and said arrogantly:

“I’m Li Xing of the Demon Artifact Pavilion. Is there anyone who dares to challenge me?”

Only then did the stunned crowd snap out of it.

“What just happened? Why did that Taoist Artifact Pavilion cultivator fall asleep during the match?”

“Even after being kicked off the stage, he showed no signs of waking up. Could it be poison?”

“No! As a doctor with decades of experience, I can confirm these are definitely not symptoms of poisoning!”

“The Taoist Artifact Pavilion cultivator has been defeated, does this mean… Taoist Artifact Pavilion has lost today?”

This statement woke everyone from their daze.

But they didn’t rush to a conclusion, instead, they looked at Luo Wusheng under the stage, who had a calm smile.

They were somewhat doubtful.

That Holy Saint of the Demon Sect was at the peak of the Golden Core stage. If he wanted to do something behind the scenes, they wouldn’t be able to notice.

At this moment, hoofbeats sounded.

“Brothers! Head to the south of the city! The Demon Artifact Pavilion has defeated the Taoist Artifact Pavilion; there’s a good show to watch in the south!”

“Old Li! The Taoist Artifact Pavilion combatant in the north of the city has been defeated by the Demon Artifact Pavillion combatant. Come, get on the horse with me to watch that show!”

“Something amazing happened in the west! The special ordinary Artifact from the Demon Artifact Pavilion has the Taoist Artifact Pavilion cultivators rolling on the ground, begging for mercy. Come watch the battle quickly!”

Hearing the information coming from all directions, the crowd was stunned.

But Luo Wusheng smiled.

It was time to close the net.

Bang!

The sudden sound refocused everyone’s attention on Luo Wusheng, who had fired his gun into the air.

“Everyone must be curious why my Demon Artifact Pavilion member could win, right?”

Luo Wusheng stood up amid everyone’s gaze, gently wiping the gun he had just fired.

Behind him, Bai Xiaoyao watched her senior brother with a bright smile, her beautiful eyes sparkling like stars.

If, after today, the Three Thousand Demon Domains heard what her senior brother had done in the capital, it would surely drop many jaws.

But she still couldn’t guess her senior brother’s true intentions…

While the demoness was pondering, someone in the crowd stepped forward and saluted Luo Wusheng.

“Please enlighten us, Lord Luo.”

Luo Wusheng nodded slightly, “The reason is simple, the Artifacts my Demon Artifact Pavilion members used in the past few days were just ordinary items. It wasn’t until today that they started using the first batch of special ordinary Artifacts.”

He was actually a bit disappointed.

He had thought Li Xing’s personality would lead him to use more showy bullets, but he had chosen the safest sleep bullets instead.

It seemed that kid wasn’t as reckless as he had thought.

After chewing over Luo Wusheng’s words, the crowd collectively gasped.

Hiss—

So, for the past two days, the Demon Artifact Pavilion members were using ordinary items with little enhancement against their opponents?

How was it possible? How could ordinary items exhibit such terrifying speed?

They had thought it was at the cost of the Artifact’s power, but now it seemed that although the Artifact’s effect wasn’t very lethal, it was particularly useful!

Didn’t they see that the person who was hit was still in a deep sleep?

If this Artifact could induce such an abnormal state in an opponent, wouldn’t it mean they’d be at their mercy next?

Such means were typically achievable only by poison-using cultivators, but poison was highly unpredictable.

Cultivators had certain resistances to poison, and even if it worked, there would be a delay, requiring great skill.

But this special ordinary Artifact was completely different!

Many who realized the terror of this special ordinary Artifact had their eyes light up.

Terrifying, truly terrifying!

“Ladies and gentlemen, why not continue watching? Today’s matches won’t end so soon. Watching a few more rounds should reveal the unique aspects of our Demon Artifact Pavilion’s Artifacts.”

“When our Demon Artifact Pavilion reopens, we will provide a detailed explanation of this Artifact. If you’re interested, our doors will be open to you.”

As Luo Wusheng spoke, Bai Xiaoyao behind him had already put the chairs and snacks back into her storage bag.

“Senior brother, let’s go back.”

Bai Xiaoyao took Luo Wusheng’s hand and said with a smile.

The Holy Saint of the Demon Sect nodded slightly, then gave an encouraging look to Li Xing on the stage, and left with Bai Xiaoyao using their escape technique, transforming into shadows and disappearing.

There was no longer any need to watch the remaining matches.

If the Taoist Artifact Pavilion had any other means, they would have used them in the first round instead of damaging their reputation.

Therefore, at most, they would send stronger cultivators or bring out the so-called “Sky Manifestation” Taoist Marked Ordinary Artifact.

Having studied the data on that Taoist Marked Artifact, Luo Wusheng had no worries at all.

After today, the reputation of the Demon Artifact Pavilion would completely overshadow the Taoist Artifact Pavilion, becoming the number one artifact pavilion in the capital.

Even the empress would hear of this.
