Chapter 441 - 423: You Can’t Break My Defense, Believe It or Not?

"The third round is mine!"

Over at the Inspection Bureau’s side, Tiemu Chuan slammed the table and shot to his feet. A cold, murderous glint flashed in his eyes as he swept his gaze across the Public Security Bureau’s area, finally landing on Su Yu.

’Brat, this arena will be your grave today!’

Murderous intent flickered in his heart. He had publicly declared that he would cripple Su Yu, but in truth, he planned to kill him!

’This damn bastard actually killed someone from my Tiemu family. How can we show our faces now?’

Recently, the Tiemu family had been subjected to all sorts of ridicule in the Inner City circles. The story was that a master from the Tiemu family had been killed by a genius from the Outer City who was in a lower Realm, bringing utter shame to the Inner City families.

To those in the Inner City, the Martial Artists from the Outer City were nothing more than a bunch of country bumpkins who had to fight and claw their way just to get in.

’And even so, someone from the Tiemu family was killed by someone in a lower Realm?’

’You piece of trash with no Inner City backing dare to kill someone from my Tiemu family? You will die today!’

He had already found out that Su Yu had not been chosen by the noble lady of the Pang family; the marriage arrangement had failed.

’In that case, to Pang Xuan, he’s just a useful subordinate. After I kill him, Pang Xuan won’t fight us to the death over it. We’ll just have to compensate them with some benefits later.’

Tiemu Chuan walked onto the stage without any harsh words, afraid he might scare Su Yu into not coming up.

On the Public Security Bureau’s side, Li Jingxuan’s expression was a little grim. He whispered to Su Yu, "Brother Su, are you really confident? If not, just let me go up. This Tiemu Chuan is ranked in the top fifty of the Inner City’s Martial Examination. He’s very strong, and he’s clearly here with ill intentions!"

Su Yu offered a smile, stood up, and said, "Don’t worry, Brother Li. Just leave this battle to me."

When the other Great Commanders saw Su Yu’s confidence, some of them frowned.

This battle would decide the final outcome and involved significant interests.

Tiemu Chuan was a first-rate master. If any of them were to fight him, they wouldn’t have any confidence either.

’What right does Su Yu have to be so confident?’

’Is it just because of that single slash of Taibai Primordial Magnetic Power he has?’

"Su Yu, I advise you to stay put and let Li Jingxuan go. You’re just in the Ape Tendon Realm, yet you dare to boast about handling it yourself. You’re unbelievably arrogant!"

Zhao Sen, having bandaged his arm, mercilessly berated Su Yu.

Su Yu shot him a cold look and said, "Commander Zhao, just focus on recovering down there. No one will think you’re mute if you stay quiet."

"You..."

Not wanting to listen to his nonsense, Su Yu strode directly onto the stage.

"Public Security Bureau, Su Yu. I await your instruction!"

When Tiemu Chuan saw Su Yu come up, he was overjoyed.

However, he wasn’t careless. He immediately activated his Tiemu Golden Body, and his form instantly became a shimmering, golden figure.

The moment the match began, he shot forward like a high-speed cannonball, instantly closing the distance to Su Yu.

A savage grin on his face, he threw a punch. Accompanied by a powerful Fist Stance, the golden fist shot toward Su Yu’s chest like a meteor.

All Su Yu could see was a giant golden fist smashing toward him. Without a doubt, Tiemu Chuan cultivated some kind of Fist Stance that enhanced the power of his Fist Technique!

"Demon Blade Crosses the River!"

The thought flashed through Su Yu’s mind as he swept out with the Mo Yuan in his hand.

This strike, empowered by his Demon-Subduing Force, was as heavy as a mountain, and its demon-vibrating momentum fully unleashed the Mo Yuan’s sharp edge.

The blade’s edge slashed out a visible ripple of white air. With a BOOM, it struck his opponent’s fist.

But the slash failed to break through his opponent’s defense. The golden fist flared with a golden light, managing to block Su Yu’s powerful strike head-on.

"Haha, you can’t break my defense!"

After they exchanged a single blow, Tiemu Chuan immediately gauged Su Yu’s strength.

’He’s strong. To be able to take that punch of mine while only at the Ape Tendon Realm... he can be considered a genius!’

’But it’s not enough!’

’He wasn’t an ordinary Jiao Tendon Perfection cultivator. His Tiemu Golden Body was incredibly powerful. As long as his opponent couldn’t break his defense, they could just wait to be hammered into paste!’

"Scram!"

Tiemu Chuan let out a cold shout and hammered at Su Yu with dozens of consecutive punches.

Su Yu again met him with his Demon-Vibrating Saber, clashing head-on with several slashes. The powerful Gang Force traveled up the blade, making his arm go numb.

However, since he was outmatched in a direct confrontation, he switched to using the Seven Fiends Thunder Collapse Step.

In addition, his dual saber stances were very strong, especially with his Demon-Subduing Force. By alternating between light and heavy slashes, he made it difficult for his opponent to predict his attacks and managed to hold his ground for the time being.

Back on the Public Security Bureau’s side, seeing Su Yu easily suppressed and even facing several dangerous situations right from the start, a dead silence fell over the group.

Zhao Sen had an "I told you so" expression as he snorted coldly, "An overconfident piece of trash. Did he really think the masters of the Inner City are made of paper?"

Further back, Lin Wanzhu and the other Vice Commanders were also watching the fight intently.

Seeing Su Yu suppressed with no way to fight back, someone couldn’t help but complain in a low voice.

"Why did Commander Su insist on going up? He’s a genius, true, but his Realm is too low. It’s not worth losing the match just for him to show off."

"Commander Su is too overconfident. The Inner City really is different from our Outer City! Look at their Inspection Bureau—that Commander Liu is a Profound Bone Realm master, yet he’s only a Commander. Commander Su is outmatched. He should just admit defeat sooner rather than later!"

"Sigh, Commander Su is a young talent, after all. Wanting to turn the tide is a good thought. Unfortunately, he’s a bit too arrogant."

Lin Wanzhu’s dark eyes swept a cold glare over them. The Captains who had spoken were all under Zhao Sen and Wang Yungui. She secretly made a mental note of them.

’How dare they talk about Ah Yu. Just wait and see the looks on your faces when you’re proven wrong.’

She had absolute confidence in Su Yu. After all, he hadn’t even used that astonishing Evil Qi of his yet. He was clearly holding back a trump card, feigning weakness to his enemy.

Over at the Inspection Bureau’s side, the atmosphere was relaxed. Some were even sipping tea from the tables and chatting with smiles.

Clearly, they all believed Su Yu was no match for Tiemu Chuan and that his victory was assured.

"That rotten brat. I clearly warned him, yet he still dared to go up there to die." Chen Ling pouted, looking indignant.

"Once you’re crippled, I should take my bell back."

Her round, almond-shaped eyes were fixed on Su Yu’s figure being constantly pushed back on the stage, but a trace of worry flashed in their depths.

’This Su Yu doesn’t know that the Chen Family’s bell isn’t so easy to take.’

’Every bell taken from one of our young ladies represents becoming a candidate to marry into the Chen Family.’

’Although becoming a candidate doesn’t guarantee you’ll marry into the Chen Family—after all, it’s not like I, Chen Ling, would fall for just anyone.’

’But the fact that I didn’t take it back immediately means I gave him a chance.’

’If you lose, you’ll be crippled, and you’ll be even less qualified to marry into my Chen Family. He just had to show off. How can a genius from the Outer City compare to one from the Inner City...?’

The more Chen Ling thought about it, the angrier she became, feeling that Su Yu was just an arrogant show-off who insisted on throwing his life away.

"Brat, you still have that Evil Qi technique, don’t you? Use it! Hahahaha..."

Tiemu Chuan smashed another fist against Su Yu’s Mo Yuan. The immense force sent Su Yu flying back with his saber, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"Did you think I was failing to break through after all this time? Hahahaha, how foolish!"

Tiemu Chuan cracked his neck, looking down on Su Yu with a condescending air.

’My fists aren’t so easy to block. It might look like he’s taking the hits on the surface, but the Fist Stance of every punch can penetrate his defenses and injure his internal organs and bones.’

’Right now, this brat’s five major organs are probably already bleeding. He’s not far from death!’

"Brat, you’re saving that Evil Qi technique to try and ambush me, you think I don’t know? Hahahaha, I’ll let you slash at me right now. You won’t break my defense, believe it or not!"
