The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 762: Chapter 763: Surprise or Not

Now he could only use his authority to draw Shangguan Sichen’s attention to him, letting Shangguan Sichen see clearly that he was the only one who could bring hope to the Shangguan Family.

Unfortunately, the timing of Shangguan Wenchuan stepping forward was somewhat inappropriate. Shangguan Sichen wasn’t ready to admit that Su Changfeng was defeated, and speaking like this was essentially volunteering to be scolded!

”You too, shut up! If you can’t speak properly, then don’t speak at all!” Shangguan Sichen said, gritting his back teeth.

”My dear brother, are you cursing Su Changfeng to lose in your heart right now?” Shangguan Xuanjie interjected at the right moment.

Shangguan Wenchuan now had to speak some insincere words. Although he indeed thought that way in his heart, with Shangguan Sichen sitting right there, he didn’t dare to admit it.

”Shangguan Xuanjie, do you think I’m that kind of petty person? If Su Changfeng can win, it would surely be a joyous occasion for all, considering it determines whether our Shangguan Family can step into another realm. But looking at the current situation, Su Changfeng basically has very little chance left—I’m just thinking of finding some other methods,” Shangguan Wenchuan said.

Shangguan Xuanjie sneered and said, ”He hasn’t lost yet, so there’s no need for you to find other methods.”

Shangguan Wenchuan nodded and stopped speaking further. Who will win will become clear if they continue to watch; there’s no meaning in arguing with Shangguan Xuanjie. The facts will definitely give him a resounding slap.

In the ring, Su Changfeng was now backed up against the ring ropes, leaving him no retreat, facing Wu Wen’s frenzied attacks. He was certain he’d get hit, but he held on and didn’t retaliate at that moment.

Su Changfeng knew very well in his heart that without an opportunity for a decisive strike, even if he did so now, there would be no good outcome. Therefore, he had to wait for the opportunity for a renowned strike.

Among all the people present, only Mu Tian guessed Su Changfeng’s intention, which made his expression become increasingly solemn.

The endurance Su Changfeng displayed wasn’t something an ordinary person could achieve. Even if it were him, he likely wouldn’t be able to endure it. However, so far, Su Changfeng hadn’t shown the slightest desire to counterattack.

In truth, at this moment, Mu Tian could already end the match, acknowledging Su Changfeng for such a display.

However, he wanted to keep watching to see if Su Changfeng could spot an opportunity, and most importantly, what threat he would pose to Wu Wen once he seized it.

”Why haven’t you fought back yet? What’s going on? Have you become so spineless that you don’t even dare to retaliate?” Shangguan Sichen wore a look of bitter disappointment, watching helplessly from the sidelines while frustration within him was about to erupt.

Watching someone continue to retreat while being beaten was so infuriating that even Shangguan Sichen couldn’t stand it.

At that moment, Su Changfeng’s footwork suddenly shifted.

Others couldn’t detect such a change, but Mu Tian could see it clearly.

”It’s coming,” Mu Tian muttered involuntarily.

Just as the words left his mouth, Su Changfeng suddenly launched a fierce counterattack against Wu Wen.

At this moment, Wu Wen’s stamina had long been mostly exhausted. Su Changfeng’s sudden strike caught him off guard. After taking a hit to the chest from Su Changfeng, his body became somewhat unsteady, and he stumbled two steps back.

Before Wu Wen could respond, Su Changfeng’s second wave of attacks came charging in.

Su Changfeng, stepping quickly forward, landed a punch directly to Wu Wen’s stomach.

Now, Wu Wen had completely become a human target; he had no choice but to be struck by Su Changfeng.

”Surprise? Unexpected?” Su Changfeng said to Wu Wen while continuously throwing punches.

Only now did Wu Wen realize that the suppression he just now had over Su Changfeng was simply due to Su Changfeng providing him with the opportunity.

While waiting for a lethal strike, Su Changfeng was simultaneously depleting Wu Wen’s strength.

With the disparity in power now evident, Wu Wen’s disadvantage was instantly exposed, causing his unwillingness to swell.

Impossible!

How could I be defeated by a nobody from the mundane world?

Unfortunately, the unwillingness in his heart couldn’t morph into power for his use.

Wu Wen was beaten up to the ropes, helplessly watching as the next punch was about to hit his head.

He knew that if Su Changfeng’s punch landed, it would knock him out cold, and the match would end with Su Changfeng as the ultimate victor.

The wind of the punch roared past, and he heard the sound of fists cutting through the air beside his ear. Wu Wen helplessly closed his eyes.

He had accepted his fate now.

After all, accepting fate was the only path left for him now.

But after a few seconds passed, the punch that should have struck his head never came, leaving Wu Wen particularly puzzled.

What’s going on? Why haven’t I passed out?

Wu Wen opened his eyes in puzzlement to find Su Changfeng’s fist halted mere millimeters from his temple.

”What are you doing?” Wu Wen asked in confusion.

Su Changfeng withdrew his hand calmly, saying, ”Nothing much, I just don’t want to kill you.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Wen instantly clenched his fists tightly.

Faced with those from the secular world, it was always him who would kill others. This time, he was about to be killed? And yet the other party had spared his life.

The unexpected turn of events in the ring left the Shangguan Family members gaping in shock, all wearing expressions as if they’d seen a ghost.

Could it be an illusion?

Su Changfeng had just been pounded by Wu Wen, unable to strike back. How could he suddenly subdue Wu Wen in an instant, and even declared he didn’t want to kill him!

”Hiss—”

Mu Tian drew a sharp breath upon witnessing the scene before him.

Although he foresaw Wu Wen’s disadvantage from the start, the situation where Wu Wen became meat on the chopping board while Su Changfeng held the knife was indeed unforeseen for Mu Tian.

He believed Su Changfeng wasn’t trying to scare Wu Wen with his words. If he really wished to kill Wu Wen, he could have accomplished it just then.

This Su Changfeng, even before entering Tuo Shi, was already so formidable. If he enters Tuo Shi, just how strong could he become?

”Perhaps even I can’t imagine how powerful you will become,” Mu Tian muttered under his breath.
