579 Amazing! (2/2)

”A very good young man.” Dugu Chou claimed with even more conviction, ”Very good!”

Ling Xiaozui wore a smile that went up to his eyebrows and the corners of his eyes, saying, ”I've always thought that this is a good young man as well.”

”Not bad indeed,” Feng Xiange agreed, smiling from the side.

The skeletal person said, ”Not only is he not bad, he's simply amazing!”

”Amazing?” The other three men turned to look at him.

A young man whom the three could compliment as good could be greater than anyone else; it was possibly the first time Dugu Chou had ever found a youth 'very good'. However, there was an even more extreme comment from this expert.

Amazing!

The comment itself was amazing.

The skeletal person beamed, condensing his voice into three lines and sending them into the trio's ears.

”Don't doubt my comment. What I said earlier is rather reserved; in truth, this young man before us is perhaps the most amazing person I've ever met! All of you are unable to see why he is amazing. I don't blame you since none of you are me!”

Hearing this, Dugu Chou, Feng Xiange, and Ling Xiaozui were taken aback.

Amazing!

Unable to see?

Not me?

To imagine that there was someone in this world who dared to speak this way to the three of them. This was truly amazing; they really were unable to see it!

While the four of them could drink together at a table, it was purely possible due to the timing and the sensing of each other's auras; they had all felt each other's comparable cultivation base and were of similar levels; although there were differences, they could be considered paltry.

This was how the gathering came to be.

The last person actually did not know anyone among the trio, but upon speaking like he did, he had stated his superiority. Ling Xiaozui and the other two were masterly experts of this world, at the peak of the pinnacle, how could they accept such condescending behavior?

”You said that we were unable to see it. Are you also saying that you can?” Feng Xiange scoffed, peering balefully at the man out of the corner of his eyes.

”Of course,” said the skeletal person.

Feng Xiange asked, ”May I ask you to identify yourself?”

The skeletal person sighed, ”The God of Wine serves us wine, what a happy meeting it was. I thought you would have guessed who I am… I see now that you haven't.”

Feng Xiange frowned, unable to come up with a reply, while Dugu Chou and Ling Xiaozui exchanged thoughtful glances.

Dugu Chou could vaguely guess the identity of this walking sack of bones, but he was even more certain of it now.

The skeletal person smiled faintly, pouring himself a bowl of wine and emptying it, as he said softly, ”One word of mine can, perhaps, prevent you from meeting an untimely demise… but his one word can…”

As he got to this part, his expression contorted into one of extreme agony. With a hoarse cough, he spat out blood. Turning his head in time, the blood that he spat shot out like an arrow, hurtling far into the dark.

Far on the other end of the darkness, there was a cry of pain, but it was short-lived. The strangled cry was as if someone was coincidentally there and had been struck by the blood. They could only cry out, but before their voice could travel far, they had perished instantly!

This time, the other three experts looked up in unison, and spoke simultaneously, ”It's you! It's really you!”
