Chapter 388: Chapter 232: Liquidation

"You—"

Wu Yifan looked up just in time to see a young man in the official uniform of a Taiping Captain descending from the sky.

A flash of jealousy crossed his eyes.

The young man was younger than him, taller than him, better-looking than him...

BOOM!

Before Wu Yifan could get a single word out, a fierce wind rushed toward him.

A wing, like a steel blade, slashed down.

Wu Yifan shouted, his longsword striking out like a bolt of lightning.

There was a crisp SNAP before the attacks even met.

The longsword snapped, and the wing continued its momentum, striking Wu Yifan square in the chest.

Wu Yifan screamed. The clothes on his chest exploded as he was sent flying back more than a hundred feet. After hitting the ground, he rolled for several dozen more feet before finally coming to a stop.

He struggled to get up, but halfway, he collapsed back down.

"Young Master!"

An old man who had been following Wu Yifan cried out in alarm. He glared at Su Mu, who had just landed, and a powerful aura erupted from his body.

Core Formation Realm!

The old man protecting Wu Yifan was actually a Core Formation Realm Martial Artist.

"If you dare to move, you die."

Su Mu merely glanced at him and spoke flatly.

Su Mu’s tone was perfectly calm, as if he were stating a simple fact.

But as soon as he spoke, the old man’s foot, which had already started to move, froze in mid-air.

He was frozen in place, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

He stared at the owner of the wing that had just sent Wu Yifan flying, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The colossal demon—a Cyan Eagle Demon that took up half the street—was what Su Mu had been riding when he descended from the sky.

It was this very demon that had sent Wu Yifan flying with a mere flap of its wing.

Right now, its sharp eagle eyes were fixed on the old man.

A sense of life-and-death crisis welled up in the old man’s heart. He was certain this demon possessed the power to threaten his life.

"The Taiping Bureau is colluding with demons—"

the old man said.

"Say one more useless word, and you die."

Su Mu said coldly, not even glancing at him as he walked past and stopped in front of Wu Yifan.

The old man’s face was pale, his clothes soaked through with cold sweat.

Even though Su Mu was walking right past him, he didn’t dare to move a muscle.

He didn’t even dare to speak.

The word "die," uttered twice, had completely terrified him.

Su Mu’s two sentences hadn’t just stunned the old man; they had stunned everyone present.

Even Zhao Poni and Luo Yuxuan were now staring wide-eyed at the massive Cyan Eagle Demon, their gazes filled with shock.

A Tier Four Demon!

Su Mu had returned riding a Tier Four Demon?

They hadn’t been this shocked even when the news of his imperial rewards had arrived in Wuling City ahead of him.

Now, they were truly stunned.

Just then, Xu Chongyuan hopped down from the Cyan Eagle Demon’s back, looking smugly at his colleagues from the Wuling Taiping Bureau.

"Hey everyone, I’m back."

Xu Chongyuan waved, greeting the crowd.

"I flew back,"

he repeated.

Lin Qi Huan and the others all rolled their eyes. ’We’re not blind, we can see that!’

’No need to fucking show off!’

Everyone looked at the Cyan Eagle Demon, their eyes filled with envy. Flying back... that was definitely something to be jealous of.

"Badass, right?"

They didn’t want to listen, but Xu Chongyuan didn’t shut up. "A Tier Four Demon. Junior Brother Su caught it in the Wildlands. He’s one of us now. His name is Garuda."

Xu Chongyuan familiarly patted Garuda’s wing.

Garuda let out a cry in response.

While Xu Chongyuan was showing off, Su Mu had already walked up to Wu Yifan.

"What do you think you’re doing?"

Wu Yifan’s eyes were filled with terror. This was the first time he had truly felt his life was in danger.

He never imagined Su Mu would dare to attack him, let alone that he had a Tier Four Demon as a Demon Pet!

"I am the eldest legitimate son of the Wu Family—"

Wu Yifan shouted, his voice a cowardly bluff.

"The Wu Family? I wasn’t looking for you, but you came knocking on my door."

Su Mu said coldly, stomping his foot on Wu Yifan’s hand.

CRACK.

The bones in Wu Yifan’s hand were crushed.

He let out a bloodcurdling scream that shook the heavens.

Wu Yiqi, who had been watching from a corner, sighed to himself.

’I knew it. The Taiping Bureau isn’t to be trifled with, and Su Mu even less so.’

He had warned Wu Yifan long ago, but Wu Yifan refused to listen.

’Happy now?’

A flash of shock also crossed his eyes. ’I can’t believe it. In just a few short months, Su Mu has gotten so much stronger.’

’He can even capture a Tier Four Demon?’

’But Su Mu doesn’t seem to have the Cultivation of the Core Formation Realm. Maybe he used some special method to capture this Tier Four Demon.’

Wu Yiqi thought to himself. He had always considered Su Mu a rival and had been planning to challenge him to a battle after awakening his own Physical Divine Technique.

He had now indeed awakened his Physical Divine Technique and even broken through to the True Essence Realm.

But he had a feeling that even now, he might not be able to defeat Su Mu.

Countless thoughts flashed through Wu Yiqi’s mind, and he finally sighed again.

He admired Su Mu, but he couldn’t just stand by and watch Wu Yifan die at his hands.

He was his second brother, after all.

"Stay your hand!"

With this thought, Wu Yiqi stepped out from the corner and raised his voice.

"Su Mu, stay your hand!"

He strode up to Su Mu and Wu Yifan. "For the sake of the times we’ve fought side by side, can you let him go this once?

I guarantee he will never bother Miss Luo again!"
