"I Am Invincible" spoke casually, but to the cultivators present, it was like a thunderclap.
They were all dumbfounded, filled with shock, watching the man confronting Shen Yurou, feeling a chaotic mess in their minds.
After cultivating to the Nascent Soul realm with great difficulty, he said he disbanded his cultivation and started over?
Could it be that breakthroughs in cultivation were as easy as eating and drinking?
"I Am Invincible" paid no attention to the astonishment of others. Instead, he looked at Shen Yurou aggressively and asked, "What? You don't think that just because I'm in the Foundation Establishment stage now, you can beat me, right?"
This statement caused an uproar.
The gap between Foundation Establishment and Nascent Soul was like night and day. A Nascent Soul True Immortal killing an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator was no different from crushing an ant.
However, according to "I Am Invincible," even though he was in the Foundation Establishment stage, he could defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator?
How was that possible?
Surprisingly, Shen Yurou, the long-haired and androgynous figure, did not react aggressively to the provocation from "I Am Invincible." Instead, he looked at the other party with caution, snorted coldly, but did not refute.
This was equivalent to directly admitting the words of "I Am Invincible"!
This Nascent Soul realm Shen Yurou might indeed not be a match for the Foundation Establishment "I Am Invincible"!
The gazes of the various cultivators looking at the golden-armored man varied.
At this moment, Shen Yurou, who had lost face, suddenly smiled, wielding his spear and staff, "Anyone with a bit of information in Nine Mountains Province knows that you are the beloved child of the mighty Scarlet Snow Immortal. Don't mention Foundation Establishment, even if you were in the Qi Refining stage and stood still, I wouldn't dare to fight you! If I accidentally injure you, and that person comes looking for trouble, our Lingyuan Sect can't afford it!"
With these words, the gazes of the onlookers changed once again.
Many revealed expressions of understanding.
Shen Yurou's words seemed to touch a sore spot for "I Am Invincible." His face instantly darkened, and he stared at Shen Yurou intently.
However, Shen Yurou had no intention of entangling further.
He smiled, extended his hand, and made a "please" gesture.
"I Am Invincible" coldly glanced at him, for some reason refraining from continuing to provoke. Instead, he turned and entered the mountain road.
Just then, a clear and tender voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, "Wait, wait! I'm with him, let me through!"
The crowd was startled, following the sound.
They saw a little girl in red, only seven or eight years old, shouting and running towards "I Am Invincible." Behind her was a middle-aged man with bronze skin, looking somewhat helpless.
The little girl was naturally Su Xiaomei, and the middle-aged man was Zhang Haobo.
Su Xiaomei ran up to "I Am Invincible," patted his arm, and looked as if she had barely made it in time.
"Let's go, let's go!"
She stared at "I Am Invincible" with her innocent big eyes, urging him.
"I Am Invincible" was a bit confused at first, taking a glance at this little girl who appeared out of nowhere. He was about to say something.
However, his expression changed slightly, and the words at the tip of his tongue were replaced instantly, "Alright! Let's go!"
Revealing a somewhat playful smile, he entered the mountain road.
Zhang Haobo's expression became solemn as he followed closely.
As the crowd watched them leave, they speculated about the identity of this little girl.
Shen Yurou's expression also changed unpredictably, pondering about something.
The Xishi Mountain mountain road was about seven or eight miles long, passing through the mountains.
It seemed to have been forcibly excavated from the center of the mountain. At intervals, Lingyuan Sect cultivators were stationed along the way.
"I Am Invincible" didn't ask about Su Xiaomei's background or intentions; he just walked forward with determination.
At this moment, Zhang Haobo sent a message to Su Xiaomei, "Little sister, what are you trying to do? The person in front is not easy to provoke. Why do you forcibly want to establish a relationship with him? Is it just to save those two hundred spirit stones?"
Su Xiaomei's steps halted, "What spirit stones! Am I so petty? Stop treating me like a child! Besides, you're an adult, why are you so timid?"
"What's hard to deal with... he's in the Foundation Establishment stage, and I'm also in the Foundation Establishment stage. Why should I be afraid of him!"
Zhang Haobo felt a bit speechless.
Your Foundation Establishment stage, and someone else's Foundation Establishment stage, can they be the same?
However, the rebellious Su Xiaomei not only did not restrain herself but approached and bombarded with questions.
"Is your name really 'I Am Invincible'? Why is it such a strange name?"
"Were you really a Nascent Soul cultivator before, and then disbanded your cultivation to start over?"
"What is the experience of becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator like?"
"The armor you just had on your body was not bad; is it some treasure?"
...
Zhang Haobo, listening from behind, had a slightly pale face, fearing that Su Xiaomei would provoke "I Am Invincible" and make him angry.
However, although "I Am Invincible" did not answer Su Xiaomei's questions, he did not get angry.
There was even a faint inexplicable smile on his face.
Zhang Haobo suddenly understood.
He knew the cultivation technique Su Xiaomei practiced, which could sense the subtlest changes in the emotions of those around her.
Her previous actions seemed reckless, but in reality, there was not much risk.
"It seems that Little Sister has another purpose. Indeed, I shouldn't underestimate her just because of her age," Zhang Haobo pondered to himself.
The three of them walked together, and only Su Xiaomei kept chattering.
Soon, they crossed the mountain road and left the range of Shixi Mountain.
At this moment, "I Am Invincible," who had been silent, suddenly stopped.
He turned to look at Su Xiaomei and asked with interest, "Are you really interesting, little girl? We don't know each other, so why do you say we're together?"
Su Xiaomei tilted her head, looking innocent, and said, "We're traveling together now, isn't that considered being together?"
With a sly glance, she continued, "You haven't answered my questions yet!"
"I Am Invincible" chuckled lightly, not getting angry, "Alright, let me introduce myself first. I am Suo Feng, 'I Am Invincible' is just a nickname I use while traveling. What about you, little girl?"
"I'm Su Xiaomei, and the one beside me is called Zhang Haobo!" Su Xiaomei answered quickly.
"Suo Feng..." The name echoed as he repeated it.
Then, looking at her seriously, he asked, "Su Xiaomei, what is your intention in being with me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Haobo became somewhat nervous.
However, Su Xiaomei remained fearless, her eyes shining, and she answered boldly, "Who told you to have such an arrogant name!"
"Invincible?"
"I don't agree! I want to fight you!"
This answer was unexpected for Suo Feng.
He was stunned for a moment.
Then he burst into hearty laughter.
"Good! Interesting little girl!"
"It happens that, all the way here, I've been itching for a fight."
"This place is open and uninhabited. How about you and I have a battle here?"
