Chapter 414 - 396: Shocking Everyone with One Strike

Su Yu’s steps seemed slow and steady, but each stride covered a distance of several yards.

In less than a breath, he had already arrived before the gates of the Huyan Mansion.

At that moment, two Huyan Guards roared and attacked from the left and right with perfect coordination. One wielded a greatsword, the other a heavy hammer, and both brought them crashing down!

The two weapons whistled through the air as they came for Su Yu, cutting off all his escape routes.

Yet, Su Yu’s expression remained unchanged. His figure flickered, and he vanished from the spot.

BOOM! BOOM!

Two consecutive booms rang out as both Huyan Guards’ attacks missed their mark, striking the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

’This is bad!’

The Huyan Guard on the right felt the hair on his neck stand on end, as if a ferocious beast had locked its eyes on him. He was just about to grab his greatsword and swing it behind him.

But in the next instant, Su Yu casually brought a knife-hand strike down on the back of his neck.

The man’s eyes immediately rolled back in his head, and his body slumped limply to the ground.

With Su Yu’s current strength, dealing with ordinary Martial Artists was even easier than killing a chicken. As for this well-forged armor, it might as well have been made of paper.

The remaining Huyan Guard, who was holding the heavy hammer, had just raised his weapon when his vision blurred.

PFFT!

Su Yu thrust a knife-hand into the man’s throat, piercing straight through his windpipe and killing him in a single strike.

Su Yu continued to walk forward. Along the way, any Huyan Guard who came within ten feet of him fell within a few breaths, like weeds mown down by a gale.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yu had already killed or crippled more than ten Huyan Guards, instantly turning the tables.

"So strong! This Great Commander Su’s killing efficiency is terrifyingly high. He’s clearly a battle-hardened veteran!"

"Look at the Qi and Blood from his attacks—he’s already broken through to the Ape Tendon Realm! What a damn monster! How long has it been since he reached the Muscle Forging Realm, and now he’s broken through again?!"

"No wonder Cui Wanhe joined him. A moment ago, I thought Cui Wanhe had also reached the Muscle Forging Realm and wasn’t any weaker than Su Yu. I was wondering what right Su Yu had to make Cui Wanhe his subordinate. Now I see he’s an even bigger monster than Cui Wanhe."

As Su Yu took action, many people quickly changed their opinions. In this world, strength was ultimately all that mattered. When you were strong enough, no one would dare to look down on you.

"Stop him! Huyan Rong!"

Huyan bo’s face was ashen as he let out a howl like a loyal old guard dog.

Su Yu’s move had swiftly changed the tide of battle. If no one stopped him, he would likely slaughter most of the Huyan Guards in a matter of moments!

At that point, the situation they had just barely managed to stabilize would be instantly overturned!

Following Huyan bo’s loud cry for help, a figure suddenly appeared from the direction of the Huyan Family’s Inner Courtyard.

The newcomer was at least seven and a half feet tall with an exceptionally powerful build. Clad in Heavy Armor, he looked like a small mountain. He carried a massive black hammer on his back that looked incredibly heavy.

It seemed all the men of the Huyan Family were abnormally large. Huyanxin and Huyan Tuoba, whom Su Yu had killed before, had both possessed similar builds.

And then there was Huyan Ba from the Black Stone Army. Su Yu had seen him twice, and even among the Heavy Armor cavalry, he stood out like a crane among chickens.

"Brat, time to die!"

Like a savage bull, Huyan Rong charged toward Su Yu with a thunderous rumble, clad in thick black armor and shouldering his massive hammer.

A Black Armor Guard in his path couldn’t dodge in time and was sent flying with a loud THUD.

That Black Armor Guard was over six feet tall and wore Heavy Armor, a man far from ordinary. But when Huyan Rong slammed into him, he was flung away like a broken sack of grain, crashing heavily into a stone table in the distance.

BANG!

The stone table shattered, breaking into several pieces.

Facing the charging Huyan Rong, Su Yu took a step forward with his right foot, slightly lowered his center of gravity, and placed his right hand on the intricate hilt of Mo Yuan, assuming a blade-drawing stance.

Huyan Rong closed the distance, raising the great hammer high above his head with both hands before bringing it down fiercely! The massive hammer, combined with his imposing frame, blocked out the sun, casting a large shadow. His tyrannical aura was enough to chill one to the bone.

As the hammer fell, a powerful force manifested and condensed upon it, transforming into a streak of black light that shattered the air with a deafening BOOM!

Such a ferocious strike instantly shocked all the onlookers. The power of this blow was likely comparable to the Tiger Tendon Realm!

To think the Huyan Family had such a hidden master! This Huyan Rong had been completely unknown before this!

However, faced with such a powerful attack, a faint sneer merely touched Su Yu’s lips as his right hand suddenly tightened its grip on the hilt of his blade.

SHING!

Like a black bolt of lightning, Mo Yuan let out a dragon’s cry as it was instantly unsheathed.

Empowered by both Demon-Slaying Power and the Demonic Ape’s Evil Qi, the blade’s light swept out in a wide arc like a dark red crescent moon. The wind from the slash carved a visible white shockwave through the air, rippling into the distance.

The descending hammer, still in mid-air, met squarely with Mo Yuan’s incomparably sharp edge.

SHLICK!

The massive hammer was actually sliced in two in an instant. The blade’s light continued unabated, sweeping across Huyan Rong’s broad chest, instantly cleaving through his armor and defenses and sending a great spray of blood into the air!

"Cough, cough..."

Only then did Huyan Rong react, his wide, bovine eyes filled with utter disbelief.

The two halves of the hammer slipped from his hands, falling to the ground with a CLANG. He staggered backward before collapsing and landing hard on his rear.

A horrifying wound now stretched across his chest, one so deep it had nearly sliced him in two. It was a shocking sight to behold.

From Huyan Rong’s charge to Su Yu nearly insta-killing him with a single draw of his Demon Blade Crosses the River, everything had happened in the span of one or two breaths.

Only now did the onlookers snap out of their stupor, so shocked that the entire battlefield fell silent for a moment.

Huyan bo let out a resentful howl like that of an old dog. "No! Just what kind of monster are you?!"

Feng Ting immediately seized the opportunity. With a flash of her long legs, she lunged forward. Her long blade swept up in a smooth motion, and with a SQUELCH, she wounded the stunned Huyan bo, who had lost his composure.

On the other side, Huyan Tong was so stunned by the scene that the color drained from her beautiful face. Her movements slowed for a fraction of a second, and Cui Wanhe’s blade slashed her arm. She cried out in alarm as blood streamed from the wound.

It wasn’t her fault, though. Su Yu defeating her Fifth Uncle, Huyan Rong, in a single move was simply beyond her wildest imagination.

After all, her Fifth Uncle Huyan Rong was an Ape Tendon master. Furthermore, with the Divine Blood in his veins fully activated, his strength was comparable to the Tiger Tendon Realm.

’For a master of that caliber to be defeated by Su Yu in a single strike... Just how strong is he?!’

’A moment ago, I thought Su Yu was just an ordinary Ape Tendon master, perhaps not even my match.’

’But now that I’ve seen him fight, I’m completely shaken.’

’Defeating Fifth Uncle, whose strength was comparable to the Tiger Tendon Realm, in a single blow... What kind of monster is this man?!’

At this moment, seeing Su Yu display his incredible prowess, the morale of the Flying Feather Guard and the Black Armor Guard soared.

In contrast, the Huyan Guards, who had already seen Su Yu kill more than ten of their men, watched in horror as even their strongest expert couldn’t withstand a single blow. Their morale completely collapsed.

A few breaths later, several more of them were wounded, retreating repeatedly amidst pained cries.

"Push into the Inner Courtyard! Take them down!"
