Chapter 417 - 399: Slaying, Arrival

The battle raged on, and the Flying Feather Guard’s advantage grew. On the other side, people were constantly being injured, and some even died.

Huyan Bo was in anguish. Like a loyal old watchdog, he fought desperately to slay the enemy before him. But Feng Ting was formidable, and her saber technique was exquisite; she had no fear of Huyan Bo.

Cui Wanhe’s advantage was even more pronounced. In his battle against Huyan Tong, his saber technique grew increasingly astonishing. The fearless momentum of his blade crashed down like massive waves, leaving Huyan Tong gasping for breath.

She was already wounded in several places, but there was nothing she could do but grit her teeth and desperately hold on.

"ROAR!"

Although Huyan Rong was losing his sanity, he could still sense his side was in peril. He unleashed a torrential storm of attacks against Su Yu.

Yet Su Yu was like a reef in a storm, completely unmoved.

In the next instant, Huyan Rong’s hands became like great hammers, poised to smash down fiercely.

At that moment, Su Yu instantly seized the opening.

Two-Step Rushing Thunder!

Su Yu abruptly activated a Trait of his Seven Fiends Thunder Collapse Step, one gained after Breaking the Limit twice.

BOOM!

In an instant, all the Qi and Blood in his body surged into his legs. More terrifyingly, a bolt of purple Thunder Power crackled into existence.

Huyan Rong’s vision blurred, and in that instant, the figure of his enemy vanished.

"Extreme Realm Demon-Slayer!"

Su Yu’s right hand gripped the hilt of the Mo Yuan Saber. The blood-red Demon Ape Evil Qi instantly flared like a raging fire. A black, demon-quelling Gang Force condensed at the tip of the Mo Yuan Saber. Before it was even thrust forward, an overwhelming sharpness that felt like it could pierce through anything made one’s eyes ache.

ROAR!

Huyan Rong’s instincts as a Martial Artist screamed, and he instantly sensed the terrifying killing power of the attack. Twisting at the waist, a loud SNAP echoed from his Great Dragon Tendon as his body spun backward like a top. His hammer-like fists whistled through the air, crashing toward Su Yu behind him.

However, he was ultimately a step too slow. The footwork Su Yu unleashed using "Two-Step Rushing Thunder" had long surpassed the speed of the Muscle Forging Realm. Forget Huyan Rong; even Huyan Tuoba, who had touched the threshold of the Profound Bone Realm, wouldn’t have been able to keep up with the speed of this move.

The blood-red Mo Yuan Saber, like a furious dragon bursting from the sea, instantly bit into Huyan Rong’s side.

SHUNK!

His bulging muscles, like blocks of tofu, were easily pierced. Even his incomparably hard breastbone shattered with a sharp CRACK.

Huyan Rong let out a pained scream, but his eyes were savage. His hands never stopped moving as his hammer-like fists continued to smash toward Su Yu.

Su Yu didn’t trade blows with him. His feet moved again, and in an instant, he circled behind his opponent.

Huyan Rong had just turned when his attack missed again, and he let out another furious roar.

However, he was met with another terrifying slash.

SHUNK!

With a "Demon Blade Crosses the River," Su Yu instantly tore through his opponent’s defense, leaving a deep gash on his neck.

His opponent’s strength was immense, but his speed was far inferior to Su Yu’s. Now that Su Yu had played his trump card, "Two-Step Rushing Thunder," he had instantly turned the tables, leaving his opponent completely unable to retaliate.

A flash of satisfaction appeared in Su Yu’s eyes. ’I should have used Breaking Limit on the Seven Fiends Thunder Collapse Step long ago!’

In battle, strength and destructive power were important, but if your speed couldn’t keep up, you simply couldn’t fight. There was a saying: in all of martial arts, only speed is absolute. While a bit extreme, there was definitely some truth to it.

SHUNK! SHUNK! SHUNK...

After several more exchanges, Huyan Rong was covered in blood, with at least seven or eight new wounds. If not for his astonishing constitution, he would have collapsed long ago.

The shift in the battle did not go unnoticed by the onlookers. Someone couldn’t help but gasp.

"Commander Su has too many tricks up his sleeve! To think he has such an astonishing movement technique... Is he really only in his early twenties? How can he be so proficient in fist techniques, saber techniques, and footwork, with no weaknesses? He’s far beyond any normal person!"

This person voiced what everyone was thinking. Their gazes toward Su Yu were filled with envy and admiration.

Qin Fangqiong leisurely picked up his teacup, downed the steaming Spiritual Tea in one gulp, and said lightly, "My disciple’s talent is absolutely stunning, beyond what any ordinary person could hope to match. This old man’s saber arts will once again be renowned across the land! Hahahaha..."

Ding Yi’s eyes were also filled with admiration. He turned to his daughter, Ding Mianyue, and said, "Yue’Er, this sworn brother of yours has an immeasurable future. You must serve him well and not harbor any other intentions."

Ding Mianyue nodded seriously. Perhaps due to her experience of losing to Su Yu, much of her sharp edge had been tempered. She had gained a certain calm composure, which only enhanced her beauty.

...

After Su Yu wounded him repeatedly, Huyan Rong’s strength waned further, and he could no longer defend himself.

’Time to end this!’

In the next moment, a bone-chilling killing intent flashed in Su Yu’s eyes as he launched the finishing blow.

"Demon Ape Sunders the Heavens!"

The Mo Yuan Saber descended like a bolt of red lightning, moving with astonishing speed. His opponent had no time to dodge and was struck on the neck.

Accompanied by a piercing scream, the blade, radiating an astonishing Evil Qi, instantly severed the great tendons in his enemy’s neck.

Even as Huyan Rong fought back for his life, he couldn’t block the powerful demon-quelling force! The Mo Yuan Saber was now both incredibly heavy and abnormally sharp.

As Su Yu put more force into it, the Mo Yuan Saber finally, brutally, severed his opponent’s neck.

SPLAT!

Blood fountained out, splattering in a radius of several meters.

A nearby Huyan Guard was drenched in half his body with the flying blood. He stood dumbstruck, his terrified eyes reflecting the shocking scene.

Huyan Rong’s massive, three-meter-tall headless body crashed down like a small hill. The handsome, saber-wielding figure stood with a calm expression, flicking his wrist to shake the blood from his blade.

"Aah, run!"

Someone’s nerve finally broke. With a terrified scream, he dropped his weapon and ran for the gate.

’Even Master Huyan Rong, who was like a Demon, was killed! There’s no way we can fight against a figure like that!’

Once one person fled, more Huyan Guards immediately dropped their weapons. Their hearts were seized with terror. Gazing at the youth who seemed like a God of Slaughter, they didn’t dare take a single step closer.

"No!"

Seeing this, Huyan Bo let out an indignant roar. Enduring the sharp pain from a slash by Feng Ting, he charged madly toward Su Yu.

’I have to kill Su Yu!’

Su Yu had just finished absorbing the red Evil Qi that emanated from Huyan Rong’s body and was now quietly waiting for the Divine Blood to seep out.

Seeing the old scoundrel Huyan Bo charging recklessly toward him, killing intent flashed in his eyes once more.

’The Huyan Family has bullied the common folk and committed countless heinous crimes over the years. As their chief steward, this Huyan Bo is a particularly prolific evildoer. Killing him would be no mistake.’

Su Yu gripped his Mo Yuan Saber, preparing to cut down Huyan Bo and absorb another wave of Demon Ape Evil Qi.

But in the next instant, a glint of surprise flashed in his eyes as he looked toward the gate.

BANG!

The Huyan Guard who had just reached the gate was sent flying backward like a sack of grain. He crashed heavily to the ground and let out a mournful wail.

Two burly figures, both wearing their hair in hemp braids, stepped through the gates into the Huyan Mansion courtyard.

In the distance, Li Jingxuan’s face turned livid. "Tiemu Bo, Tiemu Cha!" he shouted. "Are you two here on behalf of the Inspection Bureau, or the Tiemu family?"

"The Public Security Bureau is in the middle of an operation! Why are you trespassing in a restricted area?"

The two had moved with extreme speed, like a pair of afterimages, instantly bypassing the Black Armor Guard’s defensive line.

He had wanted to intervene, but both men were experts of the Jiao Tendon Realm. Tiemu Cha, in particular, was at the Perfection stage of the Jiao Tendon Realm. With Li Jingxuan’s strength, he wouldn’t have been able to stop them in time.

"So this is the so-called number one genius of the Outer City? He looks more like a little lamb to me," Tiemu Bo sneered, his gaze locking onto Su Yu.
