"You're arrogant, kid!"
"I think your head got stuck in the door when you got up this morning!"
"You still haven't figured out the situation!"
"We've surrounded you now!"
"But then again, I've seen plenty of young people like you!"
"A newborn calf fears no tiger, relying on your own strength."
"You don't even know your own name or surname!"
"Today, let us brothers teach you a lesson!"
"To get by in Shangjing City, you need more than just strength; you need a background!"
"Of course, we're not teaching you this for free!"
"As for the tuition?"
"We'll take your life as payment, just as you said!"
"Brothers, let's go together!"
Hearing Zhou Xuan's words, the faces of the five Creation Realm powerhouses opposite him all sank.
And one of the men with a scar over his left eye.
He sneered and directly hurled Zhou Xuan's words back at him.
After finishing his retort, the scarred man was the first to throw a punch.
He lunged straight for Zhou Xuan's face.
Seeing that the scarred man had already initiated the attack, the other four.
Did not dare to delay, all swinging their fists, they launched a siege on Zhou Xuan.
"Brother Xuan!"
Seeing this, Lu Ling'er, whom Zhou Xuan had sent to the rear for Baili Yuntian and the others to protect.
Her heart was pounding in her chest.
Although this wasn't the first time she had seen Zhou Xuan fight.
And she had always been confident in Zhou Xuan's strength!
At such a critical moment, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
After all, this was a real fight, not child's play.
She feared that Zhou Xuan, facing five opponents,
Might be overwhelmed and get injured.
But at the same time, she also knew that with her current abilities.
There was nothing she could do but wait here.
"Brother Xuan, please be alright!"
"From now on, I will cultivate even harder!"
"I'll strive to catch up to your pace soon!"
"Next time there's trouble, I'll stand by your side to face it together!"
"Instead of being a burden like now!"
Looking at the figure standing steadfastly in front, Lu Ling'er silently prayed for Zhou Xuan in her heart.
While also vowing to herself to cultivate diligently.
And in front, Zhou Xuan, who had entered combat mode.
Naturally, he was unaware of Lu Ling'er's thoughts behind him!
Seeing the five opponents launching a siege on him, Zhou Xuan showed no panic.
"Since you want to play, I'll play with you first!"
With that said, Zhou Xuan took a step forward instead of retreating.
Raising his right hand, he clenched it into a fist!
He met their attack with a head-on collision of fists!
"Boom!"
"Crack!"
With two distinct sounds, the two fists that collided separated.
Zhou Xuan was forced back a step by the impact transmitted from the fist.
But his expression remained unchanged.
He casually shook his arm, easily dispelling the numbness in his fist.
On the contrary, the scarred man opposite him was not so fortunate.
As Zhou Xuan was forced back by the impact of the fist collision.
He was also sent staggering back several steps by the immense power of Zhou Xuan's punch.
Finally, his legs gave way, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
Moreover, if one observed closely, they could see.
His left hand, which had just collided with Zhou Xuan's, was now bent at an unnatural angle.
Judging by the appearance, that palm was clearly fractured!
Evidently, in this initial clash of strength.
The scarred man was no match for Zhou Xuan!
However, he was also quite tough. Even with his right hand broken by Zhou Xuan.
He let out no cry of pain, merely enduring the intense pain in his arm.
He swung his other intact arm, launching another attack on Zhou Xuan.
And while Zhou Xuan was clashing with the scarred man.
His other four teammates had seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Zhou Xuan.
This resulted in Zhou Xuan, after gaining the upper hand in the initial exchange.
Being unable to pursue the scarred man immediately.
But was forced to engage in a back-and-forth battle with the other four Creation Realm experts!
However, because Zhou Xuan's own strength surpassed theirs.
He did not show any signs of weakening while fighting them.
In fact, if not for their coordinated teamwork.
If Zhou Xuan were fighting any one of them individually.
The remaining opponents would have launched attacks to disrupt him from the sidelines!
Perhaps by now, Zhou Xuan would have seized an opportunity.
And eliminated one or two of them beforehand!
"You bunch of losers, what are you all doing?!"
"Five against one, and you're struggling this much?"
"You boasted about how capable you were before you came here!"
"And now you can't even deal with this brat?"
"What are we paying you so much money for every year?"
"Am I here to watch you perform?"
"I'll give you one more minute!"
"If you still can't take him down, you can all pack your bags and leave when we get back!"
"The Sun family doesn't keep useless people!"
Seeing that the scarred man and his four companions were evenly matched with Zhou Xuan.
And the outcome was undecided after a long while.
Sun Zhibiao, who was standing by, waiting to see Zhou Xuan make a fool of himself, could no longer tolerate it!
He began to berate the scarred man and his four companions.
Upon hearing Sun Zhibiao's words, the scarred man and his four companions appeared somewhat helpless.
They, too, wished they could defeat Zhou Xuan quickly and collect their reward money.
But their strength simply wouldn't allow it!
When they first encountered Zhou Xuan, they were all confident that.
Even if Zhou Xuan's strength was slightly superior to theirs,
Taking him down shouldn't be too difficult with five of them combined.
After all, the five of them had learned what they knew from the Sun family over the years!
And as one of the five major families in Shangjing City, the Sun family's teachings.
Naturally, surpassed those of outside rogue cultivators.
This was why they were so confident they could easily take down Zhou Xuan.
But now, as they fought, they felt something was wrong.
Zhou Xuan, whom they considered a "rogue cultivator,"
Displayed combat techniques that were actually superior to theirs.
And he managed to hold his ground even when facing five opponents!
This did not align with his status as a "rogue cultivator"!
However, the scarred man also knew that now was not the time to dwell on this.
Because he understood Sun Zhibiao's personality all too well.
The latter was a typical person who only cared about the final result and not the process.
In other words, no matter the situation,
As long as they couldn't capture Zhou Xuan within the time limit set by Sun Zhibiao!
Even if they explained themselves to death afterward, Sun Zhibiao would still make them pack up and leave.
And after enjoying the Sun family's patronage for so many years.
The scarred man and his group clearly did not want to return to their former life as rogue cultivators!
So, after hearing Sun Zhibiao's threatening words.
The scarred man and his four companions exchanged glances, and their expressions gradually became serious.
"Kid, we originally just intended to beat you up and hand you over to Young Master Sun as an apology!"
"But now it seems that opportunity is gone!"
"You do have some strength!"
"But to complete the mission, we have no choice but to get serious!"
"Since we can't capture you alive to apologize!"
"We might as well just kill you!"
"Today, we'll show you, a kid from the rogue cultivator path!"
"What is background and heritage!"
"Brothers, prepare the joint skill!"
"Let's send this kid on his way!"
With that said, the scarred man suddenly took a step back, evading Zhou Xuan's attack range.
The other four Creation Realm experts did the same!
After retreating from Zhou Xuan's attack range, the five of them.
Slowly gathered together.
And simultaneously activated the true energy within their bodies, converging it before their palms.
"Kid, watch closely!"
"This is our five-person joint skill, named the Heavenly Profound Shockwave!"
"This is a mid-tier spiritual energy technique!"
"To die by this technique!"
"You have every reason to be proud!"
