Chapter 413 - 395: Taking Action Personally

At this moment, various factions had begun to gather around the Huyan Mansion.

These included local powers from Black Stone City like the Liu Family, the Xu family, and the Lin Family, as well as the Thousand Treasures Tower, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, Hongshan Martial Arts Hall, and Iron Armor Martial Arts Hall...

And, of course, their two major allies: White Ape Martial Arts Hall and Flying Fish Martial Arts Hall.

Qin Fangqiong sat upright in a Grandmaster’s Chair at the entrance of a teahouse opposite the Huyan Mansion, with Xu Feng and Jiang Liuchuan standing behind him.

He leisurely nibbled on fried peanuts from a nearby dish, his presence calm and steady.

At the entrance of a tavern not far away was the contingent from Flying Fish Martial Arts Hall.

The one in the lead was none other than Ding Yi, with Ding Mianyue and her senior brother, Jiang Pingzhi, behind him.

Ding Yi and Qin Fangqiong exchanged a look and nodded to each other.

Today, the two of them would join forces to deal with Huyan Muyuan; this was their silent acknowledgment.

Aside from the local powers, outside factions like Medicine King Valley, Divine Weapon Manor, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect had also come to watch.

After all, the Huyan Family was a clan with a hundred-year history. If they were to be wiped out by the Public Security Bureau just like that, all the other factions would have to seriously reconsider how they dealt with the Bureau.

As for Su Yu, after announcing the Huyan Family’s crimes, he met the gaze of Li Jingxuan, who was on the other side not far away. Seeing him nod slightly, Su Yu immediately bellowed:

"Arrest the members of the Huyan Family!"

"Yes, sir!"

Behind him, Feng Ting and Cui Wanhe flanked him on the left and right, leading their teams in a charge.

Meanwhile, a squad of Black Armor Guards under Li Jingxuan’s command formed up, locking and loading their military crossbows with a series of CLACKS, and surrounded the Huyan Family’s escape routes.

"The Huyan Family is innocent! Su Yu is abusing his public office to settle a private score and suppress our family!"

Just then, the Huyan Family’s head steward, Huyan Bo, rushed to the entrance and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Everyone, please support the Huyan Family! Otherwise, you’ll be the next ones to be wiped out!"

Huyan Bo yelled toward the Liu and Xu families. The three families had just formed an alliance a short while ago; now was the time he needed them.

However, the person leading the Liu Family’s contingent today was Liu Li. He was only at the Flesh Refining Realm and, while considered a young expert of his clan, he wasn’t in a position to make decisions. It was obvious he was only here to gather information.

He looked at Su Yu’s imposing figure and couldn’t help but sigh internally.

’Once upon a time, I was ranked in the top five of the Martial Examination alongside Su Yu. Now, he’s the Great Commander of the Public Security Bureau, able to decide the fate of the Huyan Family with a single word.’

At this thought, he couldn’t help but glance at his sister, Liu Yuan, beside him. Back then, Qin Yu had tried to set them up on a blind date, but Liu Yuan had looked down on Su Yu and rejected him just like that.

’Looking back now, she was truly blind.’

Liu Yuan seemed to sense the meaning in Liu Li’s gaze. Her expression changed instantly, and a stream of curses flowed through her mind.

These days, she was the subject of gossip within the circles of Black Stone City’s great families, with everyone hinting that she had been blind. Every time she heard such comments, she felt like she was about to explode with rage.

However, she only dared to curse Su Yu in her heart, not out loud. If someone with malicious intent overheard her, they would surely report it to Su Yu. Then, with a single word from him, probably no one in her family would protect her. In fact, some might even rush to be the one to hand her over to him!

As for the Xu family, they remained completely silent, just watching quietly. They even deliberately took a few steps back, making it clear they would not get involved.

Seeing this, Huyan Bo’s face turned deathly pale.

"Stop them! The Inner City’s Inspection Bureau will be here soon to save us!" At that moment, a thunderous roar came from within the mansion, echoing throughout the entire Huyan estate.

"The Patriarch has spoken! Hold your ground! The Huyan Guard is here too!"

Huyan Bo shouted and was the first to retreat into the courtyard.

CLANG! CLANG!

Just then, a unit of more than fifty armored guards charged out from the Huyan Mansion. Each one had astonishing Qi and Blood, their armor gleaming. Every single one of them was in the Martial Artist Realm!

"So that’s the Huyan Family’s Huyan Guard—a unit of protectors made up entirely of Martial Artists, and they’re all armored. The Huyan Family truly can’t be underestimated!"

In the distance, someone who saw this couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.

"A force of over fifty Martial Artist protectors... how many families in the Outer City can boast such strength!"

"Take them down!"

The Flying Feather Guard had already surrounded the entrance. Their leader, Feng Ting, took the lead, her wheat-colored legs striding forward as she pounced toward the Huyan Guard like a lioness.

With a flash of her long saber, a spurt of blood followed. PFFT! She had sliced straight through the armor of a Huyan Guard who couldn’t block in time, wounding him.

"What astonishing saber skills! To break through hundred-forged armor with a single strike! That woman must be Vice Commander Feng Ting of the Public Security Bureau. With that level of power, she’s definitely one of the top experts in the Flesh Refining Realm!"

"This woman’s strength cannot be underestimated. Breaking through to the Muscle Forging Realm in the future will be no problem for her!"

A few members of a faction from Jian’an Prefecture, seeing this, offered their praise.

After felling one Huyan Guard with her saber, Feng Ting was surrounded by two opponents. But far from panicking, her face lit up with excitement. She lashed out with a fierce kick—BANG!—and sent a defending Huyan Guard flying.

"Weak! You think you can stop me?!"

Feng Ting let out a sharp cry, her fighting spirit soaring as she fought, and she quickly struck down several Huyan Guards in front of her.

"Don’t get cocky! This old man will deal with you!"

Huyan Bo’s hair and beard stood on end. He gripped a two-meter-long Horse-cutting Saber. Gone was his appearance of an old steward; he leaped in front of Feng Ting and engaged her in battle.

BOOM!

On Cui Wanhe’s side, the Nine-Ring Saber on his back was drawn in a flash, sweeping out horizontally. Accompanied by the JINGLE JINGLE of its nine rings, the saber struck like thunder, instantly sending three Huyan Guards flying!

Their bodies slammed into a wall with a massive crash.

"Muscle Forging Realm!"

Huyan Bo was stunned. He never expected Cui Wanhe to have broken through to the Muscle Forging Realm, much less joined Su Yu’s ranks.

"Young Miss, stop him!"

If an expert of the Muscle Forging Realm were to charge in, it would be like a tiger let loose among sheep. Even the Huyan Guard would be quickly routed in such a narrow courtyard.

"You little thief, die!"

Huyan Tong tore away the restrictive embroidered skirt on her lower body, revealing long, snow-white legs. She drew the short blade strapped to her thigh and thrust it toward Cui Wanhe.

The thrust was a Great Tendon-Bursting Bomb, swift as a fleeing rabbit, leaving only a cold gleam in the air.

Cui Wanhe’s pupils shrank. He immediately retracted his Nine-Ring Saber to block. CLANG! A tremendous impact rang out.

He found himself unable to withstand the force of the thrust. His feet carved a trench in the ground as his body was driven straight back to the entrance.

"Some genius you are. If I hadn’t been willing to hide my true strength, how could a punk like you have ever earned the title of the Outer City’s number one genius?"

Huyan Tong’s face was full of arrogance. She was a descendant of Divine Blood and had consumed some Spiritual Source at a very young age, granting her astonishing talent.

If she could also consume Chen Fan’s Spiritual Energy, the Divine Blood within her would surely awaken further, and her talent would become even greater.

At this thought, her expression darkened.

’Damn it, it’s all because of that damn Su Yu! I’ll kill this Cui Wanhe, and then I’ll make you pay! You’re just some punk in the early Muscle Forging Realm. What right do you have to be the Great Commander? How dare you lead people to besiege my Huyan Mansion?’

Her gaze swept over the distant figure, a thick killing intent flashing in her eyes!

...

With Cui Wanhe and Feng Ting both tied down, the Huyan Guard’s true strength began to show. They were like a torrent, swiftly pushing back the Flying Feather Guard.

Fortunately, the Black Armor Guard under Li Jingxuan’s command moved up to reinforce them. The two powerful forces clashed and were soon locked in fierce combat.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Continuous explosions rang out. The courtyard walls near the Huyan Mansion’s main gate were caught in the shockwaves, and several sections collapsed!

The spectating factions could now see the battle in the courtyard even more clearly.

"Tsk, tsk. The Huyan Family truly lives up to its name as a hundred-year-old clan. They’ve blocked the Public Security Bureau’s assault with just their Huyan Guard. I’d say Great Commander Su’s operation is about to end in failure!"

"The newly established Flying Feather Guard really isn’t strong enough. Look, the Black Armor Guard belongs to Commander Li. Without his support, the Flying Feather Guard wouldn’t even be able to get past the Huyan Family’s main gate."

"And the Huyan Family still has many experts who haven’t shown themselves, especially Huyan Muyuan. It’s been years since anyone saw him fight; his strength has probably reached Muscle Forging Realm Perfection long ago! Now that Pang Xuan isn’t here, who could possibly deal with a man like that?"

Some were naturally jealous of Su Yu for becoming the Great Commander at such a young age. Seeing the Flying Feather Guard suffer a setback, they couldn’t help but start gossiping.

"Younger Brother Su, this isn’t working. Let me make a move!"

Li Jingxuan’s expression was also grave. The assault on the Huyan Family had just begun, yet they had already met such resistance. Today’s operation was likely to be troublesome.

"Brother Li, don’t be hasty. Just guard the perimeter and don’t let anyone escape. Leave the rest to me."

Su Yu had already scanned the entire Huyan Mansion with his Divine Sense. Besides Huyan Muyuan, other experts were hiding within the Huyan Mansion. As expected of a hundred-year-old family.

With this level of strength, a single garrison from the Public Security Bureau would definitely not be enough to take them down.

His Flying Feather Guard was indeed not yet strong enough. There were many things he still had to do himself.

He swung himself off his horse and instructed his senior sister beside him, "Senior Sister, I’m leaving you in command of the Flying Feather Guard. I’m going to kill some people."

A gentle smile graced Lin Wanzhu’s pretty face as she nodded.

In the distance, when the various factions saw Su Yu’s figure walking toward the Huyan Mansion, all eyes snapped to him in unison.

’That’s Commander Su! He’s going to make a move himself!’
