Chapter 464 - 446: Blade Slashes the Profound Bone

Su Yu’s Mo Yuan was unsheathed. Raindrops pattered against the blade, splashing into a fine mist.

But he didn’t charge forward immediately. He knew he was no match for them in a direct confrontation and had to strike at a critical moment.

Qin Fangqiong noticed Su Yu’s move, and a thought flashed through her mind.

The long saber in her hand immediately quickened its assault. The biting blade light transformed into a dense, impenetrable net of blades, instantly suppressing her two opponents and preventing them from getting distracted.

"You two from the Tiemu family, your companion has already been slain by me! Surrender now, or you won’t escape punishment even if you make it back to Black Stone City!"

Su Yu’s cold voice, amplified by his Qi and Blood, cut through the wind and rain, reaching the two men’s ears directly.

The two were even more shocked to have their identities exposed by Su Yu.

’Since he knows who we are, could our companion really have been killed?’

Now, the two men grew even more frantic. They lost all will to fight, their only thought being to escape.

But how could experts afford to be distracted in the middle of a battle?

Qin Fangqiong instantly seized an opening in one of the men’s defenses. Her blade’s momentum pressed down with a frenzy, forcing him to a sudden halt.

’A perfect chance!’

Su Yu, whose Divine Sense was astonishingly sharp, was watching from the side. He instantly detected the moment his opponent’s Qi and Blood flow slowed. He had already gathered his Qi in his Dantian and, in that instant, unleashed a Sound Wave Skill.

"卍!"

This Sound Wave Skill was different from before. Empowered by the Traits of his Divine Sense’s "Heart Sound," the moment the sound wave appeared, it spread out silently like a ripple.

The raindrops within a radius of several dozen yards in front of Su Yu were struck by the sound wave and simultaneously stopped falling, as if time itself had frozen for an instant.

And the man targeted by the Divine Sense’s Heart Sound saw the world change colors before his eyes, transforming into a golden ocean.

A white elephant as large as a mountain raised its enormous body and charged, aiming to trample him. Atop it sat a White Ape, like a god or Buddha, beating its chest and roaring. Golden sonic ripples spread out, plunging the entire world into a golden ocean.

And this Profound Bone Realm expert’s head swam, leaving him stunned on the spot.

How could Su Yu let such a perfect opportunity slip by? His Mo Yuan, long since prepared, was empowered by the golden Qi of Taibai Primordial Magnetism. It descended like a river of dark gold stars, brilliantly illuminating the dim, rainy sky.

"Not good!"

His companion nearby had also been grazed by the Divine Sense’s Heart Sound. But since he wasn’t the primary target, he recovered in an instant. Seeing his partner’s state, he immediately moved to rescue him.

However, Qin Fangqiong had already anticipated this. She slashed out her saber, blocking him with a CLANG.

Unimpeded, Su Yu’s blade cleanly struck the enemy’s neck. With a PFFT, it lopped off his head without any issue.

SPLAT!

A perfectly good head hit the ground, landing in a puddle and splashing up a spray of murky, blood-red rainwater.

"Run!"

The remaining man was flabbergasted. He never expected Su Yu’s strike to so easily shatter his companion’s indestructible Profound Bone!

One had to understand that an ordinary Muscle Forging Realm cultivator, even with a full-power strike, would find it difficult to sever the hardened Profound Bone cultivated by someone in the Profound Bone Realm.

Not even against a Tier One Iron Bone!

’Damn it! It must have been that golden stream of light. It looked like Primordial Magnetic Power from Taibai Primordial Magnetism!’

The remaining man was knowledgeable and worldly, and he instantly guessed the reason. Without another moment of hesitation, he threw back Qin Fangqiong’s attack and turned to flee.

But at his speed, how could he possibly escape?

Both Qin Fangqiong and Su Yu gave chase at extreme speed. Su Yu executed two consecutive Celestial Thunder Steps, moving the fastest and getting directly behind the enemy.

"卍!"

Another astonishing blast of the Divine Sense’s Heart Sound. Although the enemy was prepared this time and had sealed his eardrums with his Qi and Blood, his eyes still witnessed the scene of the White Ape riding the elephant, stomping upon the earth.

His body swayed, and he was dizzy for a split second.

In just that instant, Qin Fangqiong and Su Yu caught up.

Qin Fangqiong was faster to act. She brought her saber down in a powerful chop, creating a shocking wave of air. At the same time, with a PFFT, she severed the arm her opponent had hastily raised to block.

"Ah!"

Amid the scream, Su Yu also struck. Empowered by the last wisp of the golden Qi of Taibai Primordial Magnetism, Mo Yuan swept out. With another PFFT, it took the man’s head.

Streams of blood-red Evil Qi, as thick as a forearm, flowed one after another into Su Yu’s Dantian.

In this battle, he had killed three Profound Bone Realm experts in succession, obtaining three wisps of blood-red Evil Qi. The sphere of Demon Ape Evil Qi in Su Yu’s Dantian grew a little larger.

Wisps of Evil Qi also began to unconsciously seep from the surface of his body, causing the falling raindrops to SIZZLE and evaporate into puffs of steam.

Qin Fangqiong looked at the astonishing amount of Evil Qi surrounding Su Yu. It was as if he had killed thousands of people. A thoughtful glint flashed in her eyes.

"Yu’er, although you have quite a talent for absorbing Evil Qi, it will be a huge problem if it goes out of control. You should look for a Cultivation Technique related to Evil Qi as soon as possible in the Inner City."

The sphere of Evil Qi in Su Yu’s Dantian spun, sucking all the stray wisps back inside and returning him to a tranquil state.

"I already have a target in mind, Master. As soon as we get a foothold in the Inner City, I’ll go look for that Cultivation Technique immediately."

Seeing that Su Yu had a plan, Qin Fangqiong nodded.

Next, the two of them skillfully looted the bodies. Their speeds were surprisingly comparable, which left Su Yu dumbfounded.

’I’ve not only practiced this many times to become Skilled, but I also have the Coin Tossing Technique, which makes my hands extremely fast. I never thought Master would be just as fast as me. Looks like she did this a lot in her youth.’

"A pity. These two didn’t have anything good on them, just some Profound Bone Pills they use for daily cultivation."

Qin Fangqiong stroked her chin, a look of disappointment flashing in her eyes.

Although these Profound Bone Pills were quite valuable, worth over a thousand taels in total, it was a paltry sum for two experts from the Tiemu family at the Profound Bone Realm.

"However, the Iron Armor Martial Arts Hall is next. We can swallow them whole. They’re a nice, fat piece of meat!"

A hint of anticipation flashed in Qin Fangqiong’s eyes. Once they swallowed the Iron Armor Martial Arts Hall, the White Ape Martial Arts Hall would solidify its title as the number one Martial Arts Hall in the Outer City, and its annual income would surely soar.

"Has your Cyan-Scaled Eagle found Yan Xiao and Xiong Wu?"

"It has. Those two have already fled back to Black Stone City. It seems they thought the men from the Tiemu family would kill us. They’re probably waiting in eager anticipation right now," Su Yu said with a smile.

"That Yan Xiao is quite the ambitious character, daring to conspire with the Tiemu family to destroy our White Ape Martial Arts Hall. Today, it’s time to settle this debt completely."

...

「Black Stone City. Night.」

Inside the main hall of the Iron Armor Martial Arts Hall, Xiong Wu paced about anxiously, the two iron galls in his hand clicking and clacking.

Nearby, Yan Xiao, covered in bandages, sat weakly in a Grandmaster’s Chair.

The dim light cast shadows across their faces.

"Hall Master, why aren’t the Tiemu family’s men here yet? Don’t you think something might have happened?" Xiong Wu asked, his brow tightly furrowed.

Yan Xiao ignored him, picked up a teacup from the table, and took a small sip. "Calm yourself. With three Profound Bone Realm experts making a move, it’s foolproof."

"By now, Qin Fangqiong and Su Yu have probably both been beheaded."

"What we need to consider now is how to absorb the White Ape Martial Arts Hall and restore the Iron Armor Martial Arts Hall to its former glory!"

"Hall Master Yan certainly has some nice plans, HAHAHAHA..."

Just then, Qin Fangqiong’s loud laughter came from outside the door, along with the clamor of a crowd. It was clear they had been surrounded.

Inside the room, Yan Xiao’s face instantly turned deathly pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xiong Wu roared, his body bursting through a window as he tried to charge out.

BOOM!

The next moment, his body crashed through the main doors, flying back inside in a pathetic state.
