Chapter 420 - 402: Ape Demon Evil Qi Advancement

When Tiemu Cha saw Su Yu cut down Tiemu Bo, his expression turned savage.

"Li Jingxuan, get out of my way! I’m going to kill that Su Yu with my own two hands today!"

"Tiemu Cha, I’m stopping you for your own good! Haha, if you go up there, you’d better watch out, or Brother Su will cut you down too!"

A friendly smile appeared on Li Jingxuan’s rotund face, but his movements were devious, striking at Tiemu Cha’s vitals.

A dangerous glint flashed in Tiemu Cha’s eyes. He said no more, clearly getting serious.

A series of "BANG! BANG! BANG!" sounds echoed between the two. Each collision created an explosive gust of Gang Wind, forcing the surrounding crowd to scatter.

"Commander Su truly is a man of destiny! HAHAHAHA, he actually killed Tiemu Bo!" one of the spectators shouted with a laugh, clearly thrilled.

"Our Black Stone City’s Outer City has a True Dragon, too! Let’s see who dares to look down on us now!"

"Xu Xianzhou, you were just saying Commander Su was sure to lose. Why have you stopped your incessant barking?"

Xu Xianzhou’s expression was as foul as if he’d swallowed a fly. He stared in disbelief at the incomparably handsome figure in the distance.

’Damn it, what kind of monster is this Su Yu? How did that slash of his suddenly break through Tiemu Bo’s golden body?’

His insight was limited; no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t understand. Then, he suddenly had a realization.

’Fuck!’

’This Su Yu keeps pulling off miracles, and I can’t comprehend a single thing he does. This feeling... it’s just like those real hidden dragons on the Hidden Dragon List, isn’t it?’

At this thought, he sucked in a sharp breath.

’No, no. I was biased from the start, always treating him like some country bumpkin from Black Stone City. I can never think that way again.’

’This son of a bitch is a real hidden dragon!’

"Xu Xianzhou, you condescending bastard, why are you so quiet now? Haha, and you’re from Jian’an Prefecture? What an idiot!"

"That’s fucking bullshit! Commander Su’s strength is his own! What the hell does it have to do with you? I respect Commander Su, but I don’t respect you. Keep talking shit, and I’ll shut you up myself!"

"You! You..."

The man was speechless, unable to find a retort.

Xu Xianzhou’s expression brightened as if bathed in a spring breeze, and he felt immensely pleased with himself.

’I really was an idiot to look down on Su Yu. He’s a monster, so it’s only natural I misjudged him.’

’But I won’t make the same mistake with the other country bumpkins from Black Stone City!’

Over at the White Ape Martial Arts Hall’s group, Qin Yu grinningly offered the plate of peanuts to Qin Fangqiong.

Qin Fangqiong stroked his beard, acting as if he had expected this all along, and began to leisurely munch on the peanuts.

"Dad, your judgment is still the sharpest. Junior Brother has always been so steady; I knew he had a trump card! He can even kill someone in the Jiao Tendon Realm now. His progress is just too fast. Hehe, he might even surpass you soon..."

Qin Yu tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear, the joy on her pretty face impossible to suppress.

She already saw Su Yu as the future leader of the White Ape Martial Arts Hall, and seeing his divine might filled her with aspirations for the future.

On the surface, Qin Fangqiong looked as if he had the foresight of a god, but inside, his heart was in turmoil.

’Good heavens, that Sound Wave Skill my disciple just used... that’s a technique of the Buddhist Practitioners from the Western Regions.’

’Their Martial Arts have always required profound comprehension, especially an understanding of Buddhist Law. In my youth, I once encountered similar Buddhist Practitioner arts, but I couldn’t even reach the entry-level.’

’I never imagined my disciple would have already reached such a profound level of understanding. The insight into Buddhist Law and Zen he displayed in that single moment was simply astonishing!’

’If that group of Buddhist Practitioners, who are so particular about karmic destiny, were to see him, they would undoubtedly try to force him into their order.’

’No, I have to remind Yu’Er about this later. It would be a huge problem if he caught the eye of those Buddhist Practitioners!’

"Dad, why was Brother Su’s last slash so powerful? I don’t quite understand."

A deep curiosity flashed in Ding Mianyue’s beautiful eyes as she stared at the figure who resembled a God of Slaughter, feeling a sense of shared glory.

As Su Yu’s sworn sister, she was filled with admiration and joy seeing him shine so brightly.

Ding Yi drew the treasured sword from his back. It was shorter than a typical sword, more like a dagger-sword.

A winding pattern was etched onto the blade, which upon closer inspection revealed itself to be a flying fish.

With a light swing, the flying fish on the blade flashed, leaving an astonishing trail of light in the air. The nearby disciples of the Flying Fish Martial Arts Hall quickly covered their eyes.

In that single instant, their eyes stung so badly that hot tears began to flow.

"Did you feel the power of that strike just now?" Ding Yi asked. "Younger Brother Su’s slash was every bit as sharp, if not even more so!"

’What!’

’Even sharper than Father’s strike?’

’Father is a Profound Bone Realm master! And not just an ordinary one!’

’Just what kind of monster is Brother Su? Is that truly possible? Doesn’t that mean his strength is on par with the Profound Bone Realm?’

’Impossible, impossible. Brother Su must have used some special method for that slash.’

As if sensing everyone’s shock and disbelief, Ding Yi continued to explain, "Younger Brother Su coated his blade with Taibai Armor-Piercing Qi, which is why it was so sharp. However, his timing and his astonishing saber techniques are not something an ordinary person can match."

"Even if you had that Taibai Armor-Piercing Qi, none of you could have executed that slash."

"So that’s how it is. Taibai Armor-Piercing Qi is so precious. I can’t believe Brother Su has a wisp of it. His luck is incredible," Ding Mianyue couldn’t help but exclaim again.

She had heard of Taibai Armor-Piercing Qi. Back in Liangzhou, someone had once been lucky enough to gather a single wisp from a mine.

Coating a weapon with this qi could make it incomparably sharp.

However, while this Taibai Armor-Piercing Qi was powerful, it was gone once consumed, making it an extreme luxury.

It was inferior to the naturally occurring Taibai Armor-Piercing Gold Liquid. Forging a weapon with that liquid could permanently raise the weapon’s grade and sharpness.

Su Yu’s Mo Yuan, in fact, had been forged with Taibai Armor-Piercing Gold Liquid.

...

After killing Tiemu Bo, Su Yu didn’t immediately continue toward the rear courtyard of the Huyan Mansion. Instead, he waited to finish absorbing another wisp of Ape Demon Evil Qi.

Tiemu Bo had been powerful and had apparently killed many people himself. The Ape Demon Evil Qi he provided to Su Yu was much thicker than that of an ordinary person.

As that wisp of Ape Demon Evil Qi entered his body, Su Yu immediately felt a change within his Dantian.

His Divine Sense instantly turned inward to observe.

At that moment, the blood-red sphere of Evil Qi floating above his Dantian began to undergo a transformation after absorbing the thick wisp.

K-CRACK... K-CRACK...

A series of cracking sounds rang out as the sphere of Evil Qi shattered and began to expand outward.

The spreading, blood-red Evil Qi instantly suffused the entire space of his Dantian.

’I’m breaking through!’

Su Yu instantly understood what was happening. He had long sensed that after such a long period of accumulation, his Ape Demon Evil Qi was already on the verge of a bottleneck.

Now, replenished by this thick wisp of Evil Qi, it had finally broken through that bottleneck and begun to advance.

He was filled with anticipation. The Ape Demon Evil Qi was becoming increasingly useful; whether in his Fist Technique or his saber arts, at least a significant portion of their power came from it.

If it advanced again, his strength would surely rise to another level!
