Chapter 451 - 433: Impossible! How Could I Possibly Lose?

"Zhen’Er, go take care of that man!"

The moment Su Yu’s voice fell, Zhen’Er had already left a turquoise afterimage, her figure bypassing Ghost Face and charging toward the fallen Feng Han.

Feng Han had taken a thunder strike; if not dead, he was crippled. He was no longer a threat, so it was the perfect opportunity to let Zhen’Er get some real combat experience and prevent him from trying any tricks.

As for Su Yu, he brandished Mo Yuan, executed a technique called Demon Ape Leaps the Abyss, and charged forward to meet him.

When Ghost Face saw Su Yu actively charge toward him, he was ecstatic.

’Idiot. Can’t see through my true power, can you? I’ll send you to see King Yan in a single move!’

The instant Su Yu closed in, he used his forward momentum as his Tiger Tendons snapped with explosive power. He swung his saber in a wide arc, bringing it around to meet the enemy’s gray, mist-wreathed ghost claw!

He unleashed three of his auras with this single slash, holding nothing back.

Empowered by his demon-subduing force, Mo Yuan felt as heavy as a mountain, compressing the air until it felt like thick slurry.

Blood-red Evil Qi coiled around the blade, transforming it into a long saber of dark-red, bloody flame. It emitted a sizzling sound, instantly vaporizing the falling raindrops into rising white mist.

BOOM!

An astonishing peal of thunder echoed through the night sky as the downpour intensified. Their attacks finally collided, sending Gang Force erupting in all directions and unleashing a roiling shockwave of air.

Ghost Face’s sinister gray mist seemed to be a condensation of aura, clearly approaching the threshold where that aura could be solidified into tangible force.

Perhaps once he broke through to the Profound Bone Realm, it would immediately display even greater power.

But at this moment, facing Su Yu’s Evil Qi, it was a step inferior.

In the blink of an eye, it was devoured by the Ape Demon’s Evil Qi.

Seeing this, Ghost Face was suddenly stunned! In the Muscle Forging Realm, his aura had always been invincible. This was the foundation of his confidence, allowing him to surpass ordinary experts at Muscle Forging Perfection!

But he never expected that today, it would be shattered by someone from a lower realm!

’How is this possible!’

But before he could react, an immense force transmitted through his hands. His opponent’s saber was not only extremely heavy on its own, but it also seemed to be empowered by some kind of saber intent, making it weigh a thousand tons!

"Dammit!"

Ghost Face had intended to kill Su Yu with that strike, but he never thought the damn man would be so powerful. He had been caught completely off guard.

He hastily retreated, trying to dissipate the force of that terrifying slash while also dodging Su Yu’s follow-up attack.

On Su Yu’s side, that single exchange was enough for him to instantly gauge their respective strengths.

His opponent’s foundation of Qi and Blood at Muscle Forging Realm Perfection was indeed far stronger than his own. Even with his current Spirit Tier aptitude, he couldn’t bridge a gap of nearly two entire realms.

However, his opponent’s aura was completely suppressed by his own. With his three auras unleashed, they each had their own advantages and disadvantages. The outcome would depend on their performance.

A grin spread across Su Yu’s lips. This was exactly the kind of battle he loved. ’The Skill Level of my Demon Ape Demon-Vibrating Saber is definitely going to increase a lot this time!’

"Celestial Thunder Step!"

Su Yu’s figure moved like a bolt of lightning, instantly giving chase. Mo Yuan, wreathed in red flames, cleaved through the wind and rain as it slashed toward Ghost Face.

Ghost Face had already been caught off guard. Just as he was about to regroup, he was shocked by Su Yu’s incredible speed.

In the night rain, all he could see was an afterimage before that terrifying saber once again appeared before his eyes.

"Bastard!"

Ghost Face was thoroughly enraged. He couldn’t believe he’d been forced back by a mere brat in the Tiger Tendon Realm.

When Su Yu had attacked earlier, the roar of his Tiger Tendons had exposed his realm, leaving Ghost Face both furious and astonished.

He, a grand master at Jiao Tendon Perfection, had been pushed back by some kid from a remote border city who was fighting above his realm!

Even now, he refused to believe he would lose. After all, Su Yu’s so-called Thunder trump card had already been countered.

’As long as I’m not careless and go all out, this brat still has to die!’

The next moment, all the Jiao Tendons in Ghost Face’s body hummed in unison, twisting his body’s entire strength into one.

BOOM!

He struck out with blinding speed and once again barely managed to block Su Yu’s attack.

[Demon Ape Demon-Vibrating Saber Skill Level +20]

Seeing the Skill Level notification flash in his mind, Su Yu’s hands moved even faster.

He unleashed several slashes in quick succession, completely suppressing his opponent.

At the same time, his Divine Sense swept over to the other side of the fight. Zhen’Er was like a goddess descended to the mortal world, forcing the pitch-black Feng Han back step by step, leaving him utterly unable to retaliate.

"AHHH, spare me, Goddess! I’m one of the good guys!"

Feng Han didn’t dare to yell that he had surrendered, afraid that if Ghost Face somehow won, he would have no way out.

Zhen’Er said nothing, simply thrusting her sword out once more, piercing through the pitch-black Feng Han’s abdomen in the dark night.

Meanwhile, Su Yu’s moves were varied and his saber techniques were masterfully refined, allowing him to firmly suppress the all-out Ghost Face.

One moment, Mo Yuan would come down with the weight of a mountain, forcing Ghost Face to erupt with all his Qi and Blood just to barely block it with both claws.

The next moment, Mo Yuan would be as light as a feather and as fast as lightning. This extreme variation between fast and slow attacks caught Ghost Face completely off guard.

SPURT!

Mo Yuan’s blade sliced through the skin on his chest, drawing blood once again.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Ghost Face roared, his entire body trembling.

He couldn’t believe that he, a Great Protector under the command of the Saintess, an expert at Muscle Forging Realm Perfection, was being defeated by such a plain, unremarkable brat.

"Brat, you’re forcing my hand!"

Ghost Face roared and pulled a porcelain vial from his robes, clearly about to consume a life-risking Pill.

Su Yu shook his head, speechless. He opened his mouth and uttered the ’卍’ True Word.

OMMMM!

Ghost Face was struck head-on by the sound wave. In his eyes, it was as if he saw a giant White Ape sitting atop a mountain of buddhas, draped in a violet-gold kasaya, wearing a Vairocana golden circlet. Its vast Buddhist aura radiated outward as it slapped a palm down toward him!

In that instant, Ghost Face fell into a mental trance.

Su Yu seized the opportunity and slashed out, severing the hand Ghost Face was using to hold the vial. Blood sprayed everywhere.

As the porcelain vial fell, Su Yu caught it on the flat of his blade and smoothly retrieved it.

Without time for a closer look, Su Yu stored it in his Sumeru Ring and once again attacked the recovering Ghost Face.

He had to admit, Ghost Face was indeed powerful. After taking a direct hit from the Vajra Fearless True Sound, he had recovered in the blink of an eye.

’If it weren’t for my incredible speed, I might not have been able to cut off his hand.’

’But now that he’s missing a hand, he’s nothing more than a walking bag of experience points.’

"No, you cheated! My Pill!"

SPURT!

[Demon Ape Demon-Vibrating Saber Skill Level +20]

...

"I can’t lose! It’s impossible! I still have to become the number one protector under the Saintess!"

SPURT!

[Demon Ape Demon-Vibrating Saber Skill Level +20]

...

"That’s the Su Mansion over there! Protect Lord Su’s residence!"

"Younger Brother Su, I’m here!"

"Commander Su, Wang Yungui has come to help!"

"Protect the Su Mansion! Block the Black Lotus Sect Demons’ escape route!"

Just then, the voices of the Flying Feather Guard, Li Jingxuan, Wang Yungui, Wang Lingran, and others carried from the distance.

Su Yu knew it was about time. His gaze turned cold as he unleashed the Demon Ape Splits the Heavens with Mo Yuan!

Instantly, the blood-red saber tore through the night sky, carving a stunning arc.

"No!"

Ghost Face used his one remaining ghost claw to push his aura to its absolute limit, causing the gray mist to surge.

But it still wasn’t enough to block Su Yu’s attack!

PSHHHT!

Mo Yuan descended, cleaving him in two. His body fell into the rainwater that had pooled into a small stream.

Red blood dyed the rainwater, which gurgled as it flowed away.

BOOM!

Another bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, and the rolling thunder that followed drowned out all other sounds.

Su Yu stood with his saber in hand, like a God of Slaughter in the rainy night. This sight so terrified the distant Feng Han that he immediately dropped his weapon and fell to his knees in surrender.

’A God of Slaughter... he’s truly a terrifying God of Slaughter! How can he have so much Evil Qi? Just how many people has he killed?’

’And that Thunder technique... who could possibly withstand it? This Su Yu is a monster! He must have a powerful deity backing him!’
