Chapter 399 - 381: My Little Troublemaker, a Monster After All

She glanced worriedly at Su Yu, but seeing his perpetually calm expression and the unwavering stillness in his eyes, her heart instantly settled.

Su Yu hadn’t told her what his trump card was, but after going through so much with him, she already had unconditional faith in him.

This man was always so reassuring. Any so-called crisis or trouble was no problem at all as long as he was around.

"Junior Su, aren’t you going to reveal your trump card yet?"

Chen Fan stared intently into Su Yu’s eyes, trying to find even a trace of panic, but those deep pupils remained as placid as a deep pool.

A surge of frustration welled up inside him, and his expression twisted.

FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!

’Damn you, Su Yu! You always have that look of complete confidence, and then you silently pull off something shocking.’

At that moment, Chen Fan wanted nothing more than to kill Su Yu on the spot and eliminate this threat for good.

But his inherent caution told him that Su Yu surely had something up his sleeve, so he didn’t dare to act recklessly.

But in the next moment, Huyan Hai, standing to the side, could no longer contain himself. A flash of killing intent and impatience crossed his eyes as he cursed angrily:

"Chen Fan, what the hell are you dawdling for? Scared into a mess like this by some kid who just entered the Muscle Forging Realm. I don’t care what trump card he has; in the face of absolute power, it’s all useless!"

"Let’s attack together and kill him!"

Huyan Hai might have been cursing up a storm, but as the Huyan Family’s First Tributor—a man who had lived on the edge for many years—he was meticulous beneath his rough exterior. The moment he decided to act, he cautiously had all three of them move at once.

Chen Fan’s resolve hardened. Huyan Hai was right. In a Martial Arts conflict, true skill is ultimately decided by a real fight.

He exchanged a glance with Huyan Tuoba on the other side. Seeing the Huyan Family’s Jiao Tendon Realm expert give a slight nod, he hesitated no longer.

"Kill!"

Following Chen Fan’s explosive roar, the Qi and Blood of three Muscle Forging Realm experts erupted. Their Great Tendons snapped taut, unleashing a sharp sonic boom like the release of a powerful bowstring.

"Get back, Senior Sister!"

The instant his opponents made to attack, Su Yu shouted a warning, and Lin Wanzhu immediately retreated into the house.

As for Su Yu, his right hand had already closed around the hilt of Mo Yuan. Demon Ape Evil Qi and demon-subduing power shrouded the blade.

The Sword Spirit of Mo Yuan faintly projected a joyful thought. It seemed to sense the power and slaughter of the impending strike, poised and eager within its sheath.

In the next instant, the three experts opposite had already formed a three-pronged assault, lunging at Su Yu.

Chen Fan, in the center, slashed down with his saber. He was using the Zhenyue Slash from the Spiritual Ape Demon-Slaying Saber technique. The strike was astonishingly powerful, the blade emitting a low hum as it cut through the air.

Even more shockingly, the blade’s edge radiated a chilling aura that caused the surrounding temperature to drop by several degrees.

’Su Yu, go to hell!’

Killing intent and excitement flashed in Chen Fan’s eyes. ’The three of us are attacking at once. It’s too late for you to do anything now!’

It was as if he could already see Su Yu being utterly annihilated in the next moment, and his heart began to pound with excitement.

’Finally, I’m going to kill Su Yu!’

On the left, Huyan Hai’s domineering iron fists, though launched second, were the first to arrive. They shot forward like the horns of a wild bull, aiming to smash into Su Yu’s waist.

The attack perfectly showcased the power of the Tiger Tendon Realm. The Great Tendons in his arms bulged like writhing, green-scaled dragons, filled with a wild, explosive force.

If it landed, it could likely inflict heavy damage on any foe below the Jiao Tendon Realm on the spot!

However, the most dangerous of the three was Huyan Tuoba on the right. The broadsword in his hand came cleaving down with a force that was countless times greater than Chen Fan’s strike!

The blade whistled as it easily tore through the air, carving a blinding arc of cold light through the darkness.

Jiao Tendon Locking Bone—the entire body becomes one!

An expert would recognize the power of this move at a glance. His dark-gold Great Tendons mobilized the force of his entire body, reaching a state where his power was both hard and soft at will. With any movement, he could channel the strength of his whole body, not just an isolated limb.

This was the fundamental reason why Jiao Tendon Realm experts could dominate those in other Realms. The Great Tendons throughout their bodies were already linked into a single, cohesive unit—to move one part was to move the whole!

Faced with such a perfectly coordinated, lethal attack from the three men, Lin Wanzhu’s eyes widened from inside the room.

’Even though she believed Su Yu could handle it, she was still deeply worried. ’How in the world is Ah Yu going to get out of such a difficult situation?!’

’If it were her, she wouldn’t be able to escape this. After all, these were three bona fide Muscle Forging Realm experts, one of whom was even at the Jiao Tendon Realm!’

’An impossible situation!’

However, Su Yu, the one being besieged, paid no mind to any ’impossible situation’ or ’siege.’ His formidable talent in the Sword Dao allowed him to instantly execute the perfect move to break the encirclement.

"Demon Blade Crosses the River!"

In an instant, the Great Tendons in Su Yu’s body snapped taut to their absolute limit like a winch, channeling an unimaginably explosive force into his arms.

SHIIING—

Mo Yuan left its sheath! The cry of the blade was like the roar of a black dragon, shaking the entire courtyard!

An arc of light, like a pitch-black crescent moon, swept out. The Mo Yuan Heavy Saber carved a visible white shockwave through the air, carrying a sharpness that could annihilate anything as it slashed forward!

This move, Demon Blade Crosses the River, looked somewhat similar to the Ape Arm Star-Picking technique from the Spiritual Ape Demon-Slaying Saber, but in practice, they were vastly different.

Ape Arm Star-Picking pursued speed and agility. The arm extended as if to pluck a star from the sky, giving it an extremely wide attack range.

Demon Blade Crosses the River, however, pursued the sheer, piercing sharpness of the blade’s edge. A single blade to cleave the great waves of a river!

SPURT!

The first to fall was Huyan Hai on the left. His iron fists hadn’t even reached Su Yu before the saber slash passed through him.

His impossibly hard fists and the protective layers of skin and bone over his chest were instantly sliced open, leaving a bloody red gash several inches deep. A fountain of blood sprayed into the air.

The crescent arc from Mo Yuan then slammed into Chen Fan’s long saber. The bone-chilling frost on his blade was instantly evaporated by the scorching Demon Ape Evil Qi.

With a CRACK, the sharp long saber was easily severed. Then, to Chen Fan’s utter shock, Mo Yuan swept across his upper chest, a mere three inches away from cutting him clean in half.

BANG!

Its momentum undiminished, Mo Yuan finally collided with the broadsword. The Gang Force between the two weapons exploded, producing a deafening roar of metal striking metal.

Huyan Tuoba roared, the Great Tendons in his arms bulging as he managed to block the slash. However, he was sent staggering backward, his feet cracking the ground with every step.

This all happened in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Lin Wanzhu’s beautiful eyes lit up, and the heaving of her snowy-white chest finally calmed.

’Tsk, tsk. Has my little scoundrel’s saber technique already reached such a level? To sweep aside three Muscle Forging Realm experts with a single slash... truly astonishing.’

’If anyone else had seen this, I can’t imagine how shocked they would be.’

’If I went to Black Stone City and described this, no one would probably believe me.’

’Wait a minute... the Qi and Blood from his attack just now... had it reached the Ape Tendon Realm?’

Lin Wanzhu’s pupils contracted again as she carefully recalled when Su Yu had broken through to the Muscle Forging Realm.

’No way. It’s only been about a month, and Ah Yu has already broken through to the Ape Tendon Realm?’

’How is his cultivation speed getting faster and faster?!’

’Isn’t cultivation supposed to get slower the further you advance?’

Lin Wanzhu couldn’t make sense of it no matter how hard she tried. In the end, she simply gave up thinking about it. Biting her red lip, she fixed her beautiful eyes on Su Yu as an inexplicable sense of pride swelled in her heart.

’This little scoundrel of mine truly is a monster!’
