Chapter 421 - 403: The Profound Bone Realm Makes a Move

The sphere of Demon Ape Evil Qi changed rapidly, expanding by a full circle in the blink of an eye. Wisps of Evil Qi, like splattered red ink, transformed the entire space of his Dantian into a magnificent ink wash painting.

During this process, Su Yu’s body unconsciously emitted wisps of Evil Qi. Several of the Huyan Guards fighting nearby couldn’t help but tremble.

At that moment, it was as if they saw a God of Slaughter emerging from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Black hair, a hand gripping his blade, handsome features, killing intent...

"Ah, I surrender! I give up!"

Unable to withstand the pressure, one of them threw down his weapon, fell to his knees, and surrendered with a tremble.

"A God of Slaughter... he’s a God of Slaughter..."

Once one of them took the lead, more Huyan Guards quickly fell to their knees. The continuous clatter of weapons hitting the ground followed.

On Su Yu’s end, as the Demon Ape Evil Qi finished its advancement, a new change occurred within his Dantian.

Now, the sphere of Evil Qi was a full third larger than before and had begun to rotate on its own in the upper part of his Dantian.

As it rotated, wisps of Evil Qi continuously spread through the meridians to every part of his body.

Su Yu could feel the fine wisps of Evil Qi continuously tempering and transforming his body.

He didn’t know what the final outcome of this transformation would be, but there was one obvious change: he could now wield his Demon Ape Evil Qi with much greater ease.

He looked down at his palm. As he clenched his fist, wisps of Evil Qi suffused his palm and fingers.

His entire palm seemed to be burning with wisps of blood-red flames. With a thought, the flames vanished in an instant, as if they had been a mere illusion.

’I can already release and retract the Evil Qi at will. This feeling... it’s just like controlling the Formless Flowing Gold. Maybe I can try combining the Formless Flowing Gold and the Demon Ape Evil Qi in the future.’

An idea popped into Su Yu’s mind. His Formless Flowing Gold had only gone through Breaking Limit once. Although it was flexible, its defensive and offensive power was still lacking, making it useful only as a supportive measure.

Retracting his Demon Ape Evil Qi, Su Yu glanced across the battlefield. The fighting had dwindled to just four or five skirmishes, involving Huyan Bo, Huyan Tong, and Tiemu Cha, who had fought his way outside the mansion.

He wasn’t in a hurry to deal with them. Instead, he walked over to Huyan Rong’s body.

By now, the drop of Divine Blood there had finished coalescing.

But this Divine Blood seemed to possess a will of its own. On the battlefield, the divine object had concealed its presence, hiding beneath Huyan Rong’s massive corpse while silently draining the last of his life force.

With his Divine Sense, Su Yu discovered it with ease.

He gently lifted Huyan Rong’s corpse and touched the drop of Divine Blood. The drop immediately shot into Su Yu’s body like a shark that had smelled blood.

But before it could even make a ripple, the familiar ink-wash characters appeared before his eyes.

[Discovered Divine Blood. Absorb?]

...

Su Yu closed the panel, not planning to absorb it for now. Securing his spoils of war was enough for the moment.

He then took out and consumed a recovery Pill, letting out a long, turbid breath.

Two consecutive battles had not only eliminated the Huyan Family’s experts but also the reinforcements from the Tiemu family. The situation was now excellent.

Su Yu himself had also gained a drop of Divine Blood and his Demon Ape Evil Qi had advanced.

He still had three wisps of Taibai Primordial Magnetism Gold Qi left. As for dealing with Huyan Muyuan, no matter what plans the man had, ’it’s a sure win now!’

At this thought, he hesitated no longer, pulling out a signal arrow and firing it into the sky.

BANG!

The red signal arrow exploded in the air.

In the distance, Qin Fangqiong’s fingers, which had just picked up a peanut, froze. His aura transformed. A moment ago, he seemed like an ordinary old man; now, he rose like a ferocious ape.

Some of the nearby Martial Arts Hall disciples felt their hearts clench with fear under this pressure and couldn’t help but take a step back.

"Bring me my blade!"

Behind him, Xu Feng picked up a two-meter-long saber that had been resting on a nearby table. With a solemn expression, he presented it to him.

Qin Fangqiong gripped the hilt and drew the long blade. Its slender edge cut a sharp gleam of light through the air, causing the eyes of the various experts watching from afar to narrow.

Hong Jingtian’s expression changed drastically. He couldn’t help but stare at Qin Fangqiong. The power of that casual move clearly surpassed the level a Muscle Forging Realm cultivator should possess.

"That casual slash... Brother Liu, did you see that?"

Liu Cheng of the Chasing Wind Martial Arts Hall clutched his beard tightly and nodded gravely. "Brother Hong, that’s right. Brother Qin’s move just now... he has broken through..."

As soon as he said this, the two of them fell silent.

Profound Bone Realm!

Qin Fangqiong had actually broken through to the Profound Bone Realm!

The two of them had languished in the Muscle Forging Realm for years, putting in countless efforts to break through to the Profound Bone Realm, yet they had never succeeded.

And yet, Qin Fangqiong had managed to break through without anyone even knowing!

How was this possible?

His old injuries were supposed to be severe. How did he recover and break through again?

At this moment, their eyes held nothing but confusion and thick envy.

However, if the two of them knew that Qin Fangqiong’s breakthrough was actually thanks to the divine stone Su Yu had given Master Qin, their envy would surely be even greater.

"Brother Qin, I didn’t expect you to have surpassed me in the Martial Arts. Congratulations, congratulations." Ding Yi was inwardly surprised to see the casual skill Qin Fangqiong revealed as he rose.

He hadn’t expected Qin Fangqiong’s strength to be that of no ordinary Profound Bone Realm master. He had only known that Qin Fangqiong had broken through and would act alongside him.

Now, seeing that single slash, his estimation of him rose considerably.

It seemed the earlier rumors were true: Qin Fangqiong had been at the Profound Bone Realm in his youth, and his Realm had only fallen due to an injury.

Now that he had broken through again, his foundation and insight from that Realm remained. His strength was not something an ordinary Profound Bone Realm master could compare to.

’But this is perfect. Against Huyan Muyuan, even if he has some hidden cards, it’s a sure win now.’

The two Profound Bone Realm masters headed toward the Huyan Mansion, startling the various factions into staring with wide eyes.

"You’re saying that Master Qin and Hall Master Ding are both at the Profound Bone Realm?"

"Two Profound Bone Realm masters are acting together. Who are they going after?"

"Hey, hey, Commander Su invited both of them, right? Doesn’t that mean Commander Su has two Profound Bone Realm masters backing him?"

"The heavens of Black Stone City’s Outer City have changed! Is the Muscle Forging Realm no longer the strongest?"

"The Profound Bone Realm... masters of that caliber are about to make a move! Quick, watch closely!"

For a moment, the crowd couldn’t help but break into a flurry of discussion, their eyes glued to the impending battle at the Huyan Mansion.

...

「Huyan Mansion, Inner Hall.」

Huyan Muyuan glanced one more time toward the Inner City. Besides the two from the Tiemu family, no other reinforcements had arrived.

A cold sneer appeared on his face as he understood their intentions.

"It seems this is all the Huyan Family is worth!"

"The two from the Tiemu family failed to save us, so now the Huyan Family can only rely on itself!"

"A bunch of old foxes!"

Huyan Muyuan reached out and felt the object in his robes, then glanced at the family members behind him, his expression cold and indifferent.

’If these people die, they die. As for the Huyan Family, as long as I alone survive, it can be built anew.’

’Next, let me see, Su Yu... what you, you brat, have to keep this old man here!’
