After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 444, 3rd Flowing Body

"Shen Xu, no matter how skillful your illusions are, you cannot break through my Three Thousand Flowing Body. How can you defeat me!" Zhou Tai stared ferociously at the figure in front of him that was faintly visible in the mist.

"If I'm not mistaken, your Three Thousand Flowing Bodies have such terrifying defensive power because of the water of the Milky Way, but Brother Zhou, your water skills are a bit lacking, wasting such a good divine ability."

Shen Xu gently reached out, and the power of water touched the water curtain around Zhou Tai. Zhou Tai felt the water around him begin to flow wildly, and soon it reached the critical point that he could control.

His water essence, flowing at such a speed, was like a small boat in a storm, drifting with the current, as if a gigantic hand above him was manipulating the entire storm.

He could only watch helplessly as the water around him flew away from him at an alarming speed. As the last stream of water hit his face, a cold sensation appeared in his throat.

"Brother Zhou, you lost. Remember to keep your promise." Shen Xu sheathed his sword and stood there.

The people in the Sword Viewing Corridor were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene. After Zhou Tai used all his strength, they never thought that Zhou Tai would lose.

But the fact is that Zhou Tai not only lost, but lost very badly.

"Does anyone know what happened? Why did Senior Brother Zhou voluntarily disperse his three thousand streams of energy?"

Everyone shook their heads in disbelief. This was too unbelievable. They couldn't understand why Zhou Tai would use his reputation as a stepping stone for his opponent.

“You have probably misunderstood Zhou Tai. The Three Thousand Flowing Body’s speed is not that fast. Zhou Tai has probably lost control of the water flow around him.”

A burly young man in black walked up to Guan Bi from behind the crowd.

At this moment, Guan Bi had not yet recovered from the shock that Shen Xu had brought her. The battle ended too quickly, and she did not have time to find someone to forcibly stop the competition.

"Junior Sister Guan, it's been a long time. It seems you've brought back someone extraordinary. Luckily I arrived late, otherwise I would have been the one embarrassing myself on stage," Xi Yu said with a smile.

"Senior Brother Xi, you're exaggerating. Shen Xu's cultivation is very effective against Zhou Tai, but he probably doesn't have much of a chance against Senior Brother Zhou."

"Guanbi, it seems you don't really understand your friend!" Xi Yu remarked.

"Brother, is that person really that amazing?" Xi Mo asked, looking at Shen Xu on the stage with great skepticism.

“Zhou Tai and I are evenly matched, but in his eyes, Zhou Tai is probably just a clown.”

"Since you already possessed this ability, why did you still toy with me like this?" On the sword-testing platform, Zhou Tai looked at Shen Xu in front of him and couldn't help but feel a surge of hatred.

But for someone at the early stage of the Qi Sea realm to fight against someone at the peak of the Qi Sea realm with such ease, and whose control over the intent of water was at an extremely terrifying level, was a peerless genius that he could not afford to offend.

"I just learned a new move and want to test its power," Shen Xu said with a smile.

“I see…” Zhou Tai gave a wry smile.

"I'd like to know how much of your strength Brother Shen used?"

“Brother Zhou, there’s no need to belittle yourself. I was able to defeat you entirely because my understanding of the Dao was slightly better. Your finger technique was very sharp. If I didn’t have a special method, I wouldn’t have been able to dodge it so easily.”

"Indeed, there is always someone better in this world. Brother Shen, you don't need to blame me for being ruthless. There is a special teleportation barrier here. If Brother Shen's life is in danger, the barrier will teleport Brother Shen outside the Sword Testing Platform."

After witnessing Shen Xu's talent, he didn't want to create a grudge between them, as that might not be good news for him.

"It's alright. I didn't come to Tianhe to fight or be aggressive. Brother Zhou, you don't need to take it to heart."

"Brother Shen is so understanding and righteous, which makes me feel quite ashamed."

Brother Shen, please rest assured, I will keep my promise and not bother Guanbi again.

Guanbi is a girl I've watched grow up, and now it seems that Brother Shen is indeed a good match for her.

There's one thing I need to remind you, Brother Shen: the relationship between Guanbi and Bailu isn't as simple as you think. If you really want to be with Guanbi, it's impossible without Bailu's permission.

She always puts too many constraints on herself, but Bai Lu doesn't really care about those things.

Zhou Tai spoke with a heavy heart.

Shen Xu wanted to explain something, but in the end he just sighed and said, "Brother Zhou, please rest assured, I will take good care of Guanbi."

After Shen Xu returned to the Sword Viewing Corridor, the way everyone looked at him couldn't help but show a hint of awe.

With Xi Mo's explanation, they all understood just how strong the man in front of them was; in the end, this world is all about strength.

"Is this the strength of the Sword Alliance disciples?" This was the thought of most people at this moment.

Looking at Xi Mo and the burly man beside Guan Bi, Shen Xu immediately realized that the man was probably the opponent Guan Bi had chosen for him beforehand. He just didn't know how to get the man to gamble with him.

"Brother Shen's talent is astounding, and I admire him greatly."

"Brother Xi, you flatter me. I was just lucky. Brother Zhou's strength is formidable."

"Brother Shen is too modest. I have seen your strength firsthand. I wonder if Brother Shen would be interested in having a match with me?" Xi Yu said with a hint of excitement.

Just as Shen Xu was about to agree, he saw Guan Bi gently shake her head at him.

"Brother Xi, I'm sorry, I'm a bit tired today. If I have time another day, I'll definitely spar with you."

"Alright!" Xi Yu couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"Senior Brother Xi, Miss still has matters to attend to, so Shen Xu and I will take our leave now," Guan Bi said, bidding farewell.

"Yes! Things are important with Bailu, you should go quickly!"

"Didn't you say you wanted a spot in the Milky Way Tidal Bore? Why did you leave?" Shen Xu asked, somewhat puzzled, after they had walked a distance.

"With your current abilities, you no longer need anyone to give you a spot."

"Shen Xu, if one day I fall far behind you, will you come back to see me?" Guan Bi stared into Shen Xu's eyes, as if trying to find the answer.

“Guanbi, how could you possibly fall behind me? I’m only temporarily ahead of you in cultivation; one day you’ll surpass me.” Shen Xu avoided Guanbi’s eyes, unable to make any promises.

Is it so hard to answer my question directly?

"I'm sorry, Guanbi, the future is full of unknowns, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Xu felt a soft, fragrant body throw itself into his arms. "Shen Xu, promise me you won't leave me, okay?"

Feeling the petite body in his arms and hearing the slightly choked voice, Shen Xu gently placed his restless arm in Guan Bi's hair.

"Then would you like to come with me?"

"Bring the young lady along too."

Shen Xu sighed softly. How could Bai Lu possibly leave with him when she knew the Four Directions Sword Alliance was in trouble? But he couldn't tell Guan Bi the truth.

"I'll try my best!"

He knew that Li Xiaoyi and the witch would not die from the blood tide, but Bai Lu and Guan Bi might not.

He remembered that he initially only wanted to take Uncle Wang away, so why did he suddenly have so many more concerns?
