Chapter 419 - 401: One Sound Expounds Myriad Laws, Each Being Attains Its Own Understanding

Xu Xianzhou let out a great laugh, certain Su Yu was doomed to lose. He rolled up his sleeves, looking ready to teach the other man a lesson at the slightest provocation.

The man who had spoken out was a disciple from a small Martial Arts Hall in Black Stone City. Having only just entered the Refining Flesh Realm, he was no match for Xu Xianzhou, who was at Refining Flesh Perfection. He could only swallow his anger and fall silent.

The various factions watched this scene in silence. Su Yu leading the charge to annihilate the Huyan Mansion today had massive implications, and with one surprise after another, all the powers were waiting for the final outcome.

If Su Yu really managed to defeat Jiao Tendon Realm masters one after another and wipe out the Huyan Family, then the political landscape of Black Stone City’s Outer City would truly be overturned!

But if he were to be defeated and the Huyan Family withstood this assault, Su Yu would suffer a great loss of face, and even the Public Security Bureau’s prestige would be utterly destroyed.

In that case, the power structure of the Outer City would likely undergo a major reshuffle, and the fates of every family would once again be in flux!

"Haha, kid, are you trying to tickle me?"

Tiemu Bo’s golden fists rained down in a counterattack, forcing Su Yu back again and again. Even Mo Yuan’s Sword Spirit let out an indignant hum.

The two had already exchanged at least a hundred moves. Su Yu had been fighting under constant pressure, his nerves stretched taut.

However, the corners of his mouth occasionally quirked up in a slight, excited smile.

...

The Skill Level for his Demon Ape Demon-Vibrating Saber, which had previously stopped increasing, began to skyrocket once again as he fought Tiemu Bo.

’Sure enough, combat is the fastest way to improve. It’s a shame finding a suitable opponent like this is so difficult.’

This kind of real battle was different from a spar. After all, sparring involved no real danger of life and death, making it difficult to fully stimulate one’s potential.

In a true battle like this, however, one careless slip could lead to injury, permanent disability, or even death!

Only in a life-and-death struggle under this kind of pressure could one make such rapid progress. And the pressure had to be just right.

Too little wouldn’t work, but neither would too much!

This was also why Su Yu was in no hurry and continued to fight Tiemu Bo.

In just that short time, the Skill Level of his Demon Ape Demon-Vibrating Saber had already increased by several hundred points.

’I’m about to break through to the Minor Achievement stage. These two consecutive battles today have been truly fruitful.’

"Frenzy Demon Vibration!"

Su Yu’s aura changed once more as he entered a frenzied state. Inside his body, his Great Tendons snapped and reverberated like a torrential downpour.

Mo Yuan danced, creating a sphere of black Gang Force so dense not even a drop of water could penetrate it. Each slash carried the power to vanquish demons, felt as heavy as a mountain, and came down in a continuous, crazed frenzy.

Tiemu Bo roared as he continuously parried and counterattacked.

It had to be said, his strength was astonishing. His pair of golden iron fists were like a violent storm of golden raindrops, striking out continuously—BAM! BAM! BAM!—and meeting every single one of Mo Yuan’s slashes.

He even managed to domineeringly knock Mo Yuan aside and blast a punch toward Su Yu’s chest!

Su Yu clenched his other hand into a fist and met the blow head-on. He was instantly knocked back dozens of feet, only stopping when he planted a foot against the compound wall.

"Haha, kid! I’m done playing with you! I’m going to cripple you within the next ten moves!"

Tiemu Bo smashed his fists together, creating a loud CLANG and kicking up a terrifying ring of white, compressed air.

"But before I cripple you, I have a declaration to make. I am representing the Inspection Bureau to conduct an investigation—"

Before he could finish, Su Yu had already leaped forward again. While in midair, he gripped his saber hilt with both hands and brought it down in a domineering chop, like a fierce tiger descending a mountain.

"Taibai Primordial Magnetism Saber!"

With this move, Su Yu had unleashed his trump card without any warning!

The timing of this strike was perfect!

After their prolonged exchange, Tiemu Bo had long since concluded that Su Yu’s strength was nothing special and that he was slightly weaker than himself.

He had just boasted that he would cripple Su Yu.

Now, seeing Su Yu take the initiative to attack and interrupt him yet again, he became absolutely furious.

"You’re courting death!"

He charged forward to meet the attack, throwing a golden iron fist with all his might, holding nothing back.

But when his fist was only halfway to its target, his instincts as a Martial Artist began screaming a frantic warning.

His eyes caught the golden light coiling around the long saber in the air, and for a moment, it stung so badly that tears began to well up.

’Not good!’

’I’ve fallen into a trap,’ he realized instantly. ’This is his ultimate technique!’

’I can’t block this!’

’Dodge! I have to dodge!’

As the thought raced through his mind, his Qi and Blood roared. He tried to retract the fist he had thrown and dodge to the side.

However, at that exact moment, Su Yu’s chest swelled in midair, and he let out a thunderous roar.

"OM!"

In that instant, a Buddhist chant like the tolling of a great bell erupted. A golden soundwave vaguely took the form of a celestial dragon and slammed squarely into Tiemu Bo.

BOOM!

Tiemu Bo felt as if he were seeing a vision in his mind: a giant White Ape, clad in a kasaya and wearing a golden circlet on its head, sat cross-legged with its fingers held in a mudra.

A single glance at the image sent a wave of dizziness through his mind.

This was the effect of the Vajra Fearless True Sound at the Perfection Realm, capable of evolving countless techniques from a single sound and granting enlightenment to all beings according to their nature!

Its essence was to resonate one’s Qi and Blood with the Buddhist Law, manifesting the Buddha within one’s heart to roar out phantoms of celestial dragons, sacred elephants, and wisdom kings.

When an enemy was struck by the sound, this Buddhist image would manifest within their mind, stunning their spiritual consciousness.

Only those with exceptionally strong spiritual consciousness or a profound mastery of Buddhist Law could be immune to such a stunning effect!

Tiemu Bo had naturally not reached such a Realm, so he was instantly frozen in place.

"Die!"

A murderous glint flashed in Su Yu’s eyes as the Taibai Primordial Magnetism Saber slashed down without mercy. ’This man came to stop me from annihilating the Huyan Family and revealed his killing intent toward me multiple times during the fight. I don’t care what family he’s from; right now, he must die!’

PFFT!

Empowered by the Taibai Primordial Magnetism’s golden energy, Mo Yuan was astonishingly sharp. The Tiemu Golden Body, which had been so difficult to break through before, was now like paper, sliced open in an instant.

The blade sliced from Tiemu Bo’s neck all the way to his abdomen, cleaving him completely in two!

Only after Mo Yuan was fully withdrawn did Tiemu Bo’s consciousness return. His eyes swiveled, as if he hadn’t yet realized he was dead.

It wasn’t until another spurt of blood shot out with a PFFT and half of his body slowly slid to the ground that he finally understood he was dead.

"Guh... guh..."

With those two final gurgles, everything faded away.

The entire sequence of Su Yu cutting down Tiemu Bo with a single slash was incredibly brief, lasting no more than a single breath. Only now did the surrounding crowd begin to react.

"No!"

Huyan Bo let out another wretched howl, like a dog that had lost its home.

When the man from the Tiemu family had arrived, hope had ignited in his heart. He had been certain that Su Yu would be no match for him.

He never imagined that only a few moments later, Su Yu would have slain yet another expert!

A look of utter terror flashed through Huyan Tong’s eyes. Su Yu’s strength continuously shattered her perception of reality, and by now, her courage had completely broken.

’Impossible, impossible...’

’What kind of monster is he? Is the number one genius of Black Stone City’s Outer City truly this powerful?’

"Hahahaha! Tiemu Cha, did you see that? My Younger Brother Su here is the real genius! How can anyone from your Tiemu family possibly compare to him?"

Li Jingxuan couldn’t help but roar with laughter. Su Yu had given him far too many pleasant surprises today.

Killing both Huyan Rong and Tiemu Bo while fighting above his own Realm... this level of talent left even him, a member of the Li Family who was used to seeing geniuses, completely astonished!

’My investment in befriending him so early was absolutely worth it!’

’With Brother Su’s talent, he might become another Divine Storage Realm expert in the future!’

’When that time comes, if he really breaks through to the Divine Storage Realm, my own status in the Li Family is bound to rise even higher!’

"Excellent, excellent! Brother Su, take down the Huyan Family! Today, you will reign supreme over the Outer City!"
