If this had happened before, when encountering such an incident in the city of Fengdu, which is full of powerful beings, Xu Yang would definitely have chosen to keep a low profile.
As the saying goes, calm waters run deep.
If necessary, he could always find a deserted place to strike later on.
But the situation now was different.
He had an identity to uphold.
If he showed weakness, wouldn't it ruin his reputation once word got out? He wasn't overly concerned about his own reputation, but could the reputation of his father, the Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu, be tarnished?
While he contemplated this, he brought out the Thousand-Year Peachwood Sword. Holding the sword in his right hand and a hammer in his left, he held the arrogant Ghost King in check... However, this action triggered the expulsion of his vital energy and blood, revealing his identity as a living being!
"A living person!"
"The aura of a living person!"
