Chapter 415 - 397: Grinding Skill Level

In the Huyan Family’s Inner Courtyard, numerous family members were trembling in fear, hiding in the main hall.

A woman couldn’t help but cry softly, not understanding why the Public Security Bureau was raiding the Huyan Family.

At the doorway ahead, Huyan Muyuan heard the crying. He whipped around with a sharp glare, startling the weeping woman into a panicked silence as she began to tremble violently.

"The Huyan Family will not fall! What are you crying for? If anyone dares to cry again, don’t blame me for being merciless!"

"Huyan Du, watch them. If anyone disobeys, kill them without mercy!"

"Yes, Patriarch!"

Huyan Du was the commander of the guards. Originally an orphan, he was fortunate enough to be adopted by the Huyan Family, which changed his destiny. He was thus fiercely loyal to them.

He led several guards, their long spears like a forest, blocking the doorway. They were both protecting the people inside and preventing anyone from escaping.

By now, Huyan Muyuan was well aware that the situation in the front courtyard was deteriorating rapidly, yet his face showed no trace of panic. His gaze was calm as he looked toward the Inner City.

’You should be here by now. If you don’t make a move soon, don’t blame this old man for taking matters into my own hands and burning my bridges!’

In the front courtyard, Su Yu calmly approached Huyan Rong. He looked down coldly at the man, who was barely clinging to life, and frowned slightly.

"You don’t have Divine Blood? Then die."

Su Yu swung his saber down, about to execute his foe.

"ROAR!"

But Huyan Rong suddenly let out a beastly roar as his body inflated like a balloon. Su Yu’s descending saber was knocked away with a CLANG, as if it had struck solid iron.

’He really does have Divine Blood!’

A flicker of joy appeared in Su Yu’s heart. He took a step back, observing Huyan Rong, who had completed his transformation in a single breath’s time.

Now, his body had reached a terrifying height of three to four meters. His muscles bulged, rivaling those of a true Demon Beast like a demonic bear.

Even more shocking was his appearance. His face was covered in black scales, and two exceptionally sharp tusks protruded from his mouth.

The wound on his chest had completely healed. A moment ago, he had been on the verge of death, but now there was no trace of it.

"Brat, you forced my hand! Everyone who has seen me in this state is already dead!"

Huyan Rong seemed extremely displeased with his appearance after activating his Divine Blood, unwilling to reveal it to others.

"A... A Pig Demon..."

Nearby, a Huyan Guard couldn’t help but cry out in alarm. Although he was a servant of the Huyan Family, he never expected Huyan Rong to transform into a Pig Demon. ’Does this mean the Huyan Family are transformed Demon Beasts?’ he wondered.

"Idiot!"

Hearing this, Huyan Rong flew into a rage. In an instant, he was beside that Huyan Guard, his massive fist smashing toward the man’s head.

"BANG!"

The man’s head instantly exploded like a watermelon, splattering red and white matter all over the ground.

The Huyan Guards and Black Armor Guards fighting nearby all retreated, and a strange silence fell over the battlefield once more.

"The Huyan Family has colluded with the Black Lotus Sect Demons, consumed demonizing Pills, and transformed into demons! They deserve to be executed! Surrender now!"

Upon seeing Huyan Rong’s monstrous appearance, Feng Ting cried out.

The Huyan Guards immediately showed hesitation. Although they were loyal guards of the Huyan Family, it was a different matter entirely if the family members were truly Demons.

"Bullshit! Huyan Rong took a Demon Core to protect the Huyan Family! His selfless sacrifice is worthy of admiration! Don’t give up, everyone! Your families are still in the back courtyard!"

Huyan bo shouted, his face filled with ferocity.

"If you’re captured by these dogs from the Public Security Bureau, your families will be forced into official brothels, and you’ll all be beheaded!"

"Kill them!"

Huyan bo swung his Horse-cutting Saber and charged at Feng Ting again, looking like a fierce old dog who didn’t fear death.

"ROAR!"

Huyan Rong still retained a sliver of reason. The moment Huyan bo made his move, he leaped into the air like a small mountain and landed once more in front of Su Yu.

"BOOM!"

His mountain-like body smashed a large crater into the ground, sending spiderweb-like cracks spreading outward and forcing everyone nearby to scramble away.

Far away, the various factions watching this scene had different reactions.

Many of the local factions in Black Stone City, aside from the great families like the Xu family and the Liu Family, had never seen such a thing and couldn’t help but look on in horror.

"What in the world is going on with Huyan Rong? How did he turn into... that!"

"His appearance isn’t the important part! It’s that his power has skyrocketed! Look at the force of that landing—it smashed such a huge crater in the ground! What kind of incredible strength does that take?"

"Tch! A bunch of country bumpkins from Black Stone City. You’ve never even seen a descendant of Divine Blood? That’s a Divine Blood transformation!" Xu Xianzhou of the Spiritual Snake Martial Arts Hall, who had always looked down on the Black Stone City factions, sneered disdainfully.

The person who had spoken first glared back, but, not knowing how to refute the claim, his face flushed red with anger.

Hong Jingtian, the Hall Master of Hongshan Martial Arts Hall, spoke with a solemn expression, "The Huyan Family is rumored to have migrated from the Great Snow Mountains of the north. They are said to be descendants of Divine Blood, and it seems the rumors are true."

Seeing Hong Jingtian speak, someone immediately asked for his insight, "Hall Master Hong, what’s the deal with this Divine Blood transformation of Huyan Rong’s? How did his strength increase so much?"

"Descendants of Divine Blood are rumored to have Divine Blood in their veins, and their Martial Arts talent is often astonishing. If the Divine Blood is concentrated enough, they can trigger a Divine Blood transformation, greatly activating their body’s potential and causing their strength to soar. This is the so-called Divine Blood transformation."

"But the Divine Blood transformation is not without consequences. Many cannot withstand the stimulation of the Divine Blood and will undergo various forms of demonization, and their sanity will also be affected."

"However, the power boost from a Divine Blood transformation is terrifying. The benefits far outweigh the drawbacks! Commander Su is in danger. Huyan Rong’s current strength is comparable to the Jiao Tendon Realm! I’m afraid few in the Outer City are a match for him now!"

Not far away, a trace of irrepressible joy flashed in the eyes of the people from Iron Armor Martial Arts Hall.

This was especially true for their leader, Hall Master Yan Xiao, and Vice Hall Master Xiong Wu. Both of them were staring intently at Su Yu.

If Su Yu were killed by Huyan Rong, then their Iron Armor Martial Arts Hall would no longer have to lay low!

Lately, Su Yu’s astonishing breakthrough speed and promotions had been suffocating the entire Iron Armor Martial Arts Hall.

If Su Yu were to just die like this, they would definitely return to their Martial Arts Hall and celebrate wildly!

In the Huyan Family’s courtyard, Huyan Rong, who had charged before Su Yu, beat his chest furiously with both fists, like an enraged gorilla.

He abandoned all defense, bringing his fists down on Su Yu in a frenzy. In an instant, his massive fists fell like a torrential storm, threatening to smash Su Yu into paste.

However, Su Yu was fearless. His Mo Yuan Long Saber danced, unleashing circles of dark-red Demon-subduing Saber Gang Force. In an instant, he had exchanged more than a dozen blows with his opponent.

The violent collisions of their Gang Force thundered through the front courtyard like rolling thunder, startling the other combatants into giving them a wide berth.

"ROAR!"

As time passed, Huyan Rong’s mind clearly became more bestial. Despite suffering several wounds from the Mo Yuan saber, he was unafraid, continuing to charge as if intent on tearing Su Yu to shreds.

A slight smile touched Su Yu’s lips. ’Huyan Rong’s strength is perfect!’

’He’s comparable to a Jiao Tendon Realm expert, but he hasn’t reached Perfection or surpassed it. Not like Huyan Tuoba before, whose strength was so overwhelming that I was no match for him in my normal state and had to use the Taibai Primordial Magnetism Elemental Magnetic Saber as my trump card.’

’Right now, our power levels are on the same tier. This is the perfect chance to grind some Skill Level for my Demon Ape Demon-Vibrating Saber and test my current abilities!’

"Demon Ape Leaps the Abyss!"

Su Yu’s body dropped low. The Great Tendons in his legs instantly tensed and released, propelling him forward as he launched a counterattack.

Powered by the immense forward momentum and the explosive force from his Great Tendons, his Mo Yuan Heavy Saber carved a deep furrow in the ground before flashing out from behind him in a lightning-fast strike aimed straight at Huyan Rong’s head!
