Faced with the poison crossbows glinting coldly all around him and the Head Shopkeeper's threats.
Sun Yu suddenly sighed.
He let his hands fall naturally to his sides, the killing intent around him receding completely like the tide.
"Since the Head Shopkeeper has already paved the road for me, why wouldn't a worthless life like mine take it?"
"A wise man submits to the times."
Seeing Sun Yu lower his head, the Head Shopkeeper leaned back in his chair with satisfaction.
Yet a viciously cold gleam still flashed through his eyes.
He had never intended to let Sun Yu live until tomorrow. Since the boy's vitality was so abundant, he would drain him dry tonight and eliminate any future trouble!
The Head Shopkeeper shot the Old Hunter Master a meaningful look.
Yet just as the Old Hunter Master was about to step forward and seize him.
The Head Shopkeeper himself sprang up without warning!
His fat body was as nimble as a Ghostly Apparition at that moment, crossing a distance of over ten feet in an instant as he closed in on Sun Yu!
"Kid, when you're reborn in your next life, keep your eyes open and choose better!"
With a savage grin, the Head Shopkeeper brought the five fingers of his right hand together like a blade. A layer of incomparably sinister gray-black inner energy faintly shimmered in his palm.
Heart Shattering Palm!
This was the Head Shopkeeper's true trump card.
This palm strike was made specifically to break External Skill hard arts. Once it landed solidly, its sinister inner energy could instantly shatter an enemy's internal organs!
Bang!
The solid palm strike slammed fiercely into Sun Yu's chest!
The four crossbowmen in the inner hall had not even had time to pull their triggers before the Head Shopkeeper's palm force erupted.
However.
The expected sight of Sun Yu vomiting blood, flying backward, and suffering shattered organs never appeared.
Clang!
An incomparably muffled metallic blast, like a giant hammer striking a massive bell, thundered from Sun Yu's chest!
The front of Sun Yu's clothes was instantly shredded to pieces by the palm wind, revealing beneath it a layer of skin and flesh with knotted muscles, like Dark Gold Black Iron.
Not even a red mark had been left on that skin!
"What?!"
The Head Shopkeeper's savage grin froze at once, his pupils contracting to pinpoints.
That palm had not felt as though it had struck a human body of skin and flesh at all, but as though it had slammed into a thousand-year cold iron block weighing millions of jin!
A terrifying force of recoil surged back through his palm.
Kacha!
A crisp crack of breaking bone rang out.
The bones in the Head Shopkeeper's right wrist were directly shattered and deformed by the recoil, jagged white bone fragments piercing through the skin and flesh!
"Ah! You—what demonic art did you cultivate?!"
The Head Shopkeeper screamed, immense terror instantly drowning every shred of reason he had left.
"Demonic art?"
Sun Yu stood perfectly still. Looking down at the utterly horrified Head Shopkeeper, the ferocious gleam in his eyes was finally no longer concealed, bursting forth completely like a rampaging bear!
Sun Yu did not draw his blade.
His right hand shot out. His five fingers were like eagle talons forged from raw iron, tearing through the air with a shrill howl as they clamped tightly around the Head Shopkeeper's fat neck!
"Loose the arrows! Shoot him dead!" The Head Shopkeeper shrieked miserably as he struggled madly.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Four poisoned Heavy Crossbows fired at once. Their ghostly blue bolts ripped through the air with the sound of death, viciously burying themselves in Sun Yu's back and shoulders!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Sparks flew in every direction.
The Heavy Crossbows, powerful enough to pierce rhinoceros hide, struck Sun Yu's Dark Gold skin and flesh as though they had hit a refined steel shield. They did not even scrape his skin before being bounced away, falling limply to the ground!
The perfected Iron Skin Bear King Skill, impervious to blades and spears, immune to water and fire!
The four Death Warriors were utterly dumbfounded.
If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
"N-No, impossible..." The Head Shopkeeper was lifted into the air by his neck, his legs kicking wildly in despair. His face had turned purple-red, and his eyes were filled with terrified disbelief.
Sun Yu did not waste a single word.
A flash of brutality crossed his eyes. The muscles in his arm swelled in an instant as he gripped the Head Shopkeeper by the neck and smashed him viciously down onto the exceedingly heavy solid-wood table beside them!
"Boom!"
Wood chips flew everywhere!
The Head Shopkeeper's head smashed straight through the hard solid-wood table.
"Kacha."
The crack of a breaking neck rang out.
The Head Shopkeeper's head folded over at an utterly grotesque angle, his eyes bulging with rage and blood pouring from all seven apertures. He died on the spot.
A one-hit kill!
"You... you actually trained the Iron Skin Bear King Skill to..."
The Old Hunter Master in the shadows witnessed the horrifying scene and was scared out of his wits.
He had finally recognized the technique, yet no matter how hard he tried, he could not understand how this brat had trained this lethal art to Great Perfection in just a few days without soaking in poisonous medicinal baths?!
That was the only thought left in the Old Hunter Master's mind. He abruptly spun around, smashed through the window, and tried to flee.
But though he was fast, Sun Yu's arrow was faster.
Sun Yu casually snatched up a chopstick from the table. His left hand clenched into a fist and drew through the air, while the index and middle fingers of his right hand pinched the chopstick, as though he were pulling back an invisible full-moon hard bow!
He had no bow, but he had the muscle memory of perfected archery and terrifying explosive power!
"Whoosh!"
The chopstick became a streak of afterimage, tearing through the air.
"Pfft!"
Just as the Old Hunter Master leaped onto the windowsill, the back of his head was pierced through by the chopstick! Half of it burst out through his brow, carrying brain matter with it.
The Old Hunter Master's corpse stiffly toppled into the snowy courtyard, never to make another sound.
"Monster! He's a monster!"
The remaining four Death Warriors were utterly terrified. Throwing down their Heavy Crossbows, they scrambled and crawled toward the door.
Sun Yu did not pursue them.
He cast a cold glance at the Head Shopkeeper's corpse, then turned and headed for the open secret chamber deep within the inner hall.
There was no time.
With the Head Shopkeeper dead, the trading house would inevitably fall into chaos, and Nanqiao Town would soon become a net spread across heaven and earth.
He had to take every resource he could get and flee deep into the Great Wilderness at once!
Sun Yu kicked open the iron door of the secret chamber.
Several chests sat inside. Without the slightest courtesy, he stuffed all the stacks of Gold Notes from within them into his robes.
Then his gaze fell upon the glazed box containing the [Blood Tai Sui].
This was good stuff. Whether he sold it or used it himself, it would make an excellent tonic.
Sun Yu grabbed the box.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, the corner of his eye caught sight of an old, tattered book covered in dust, pinned beneath the box.
Cold Toad Breath Swallowing Technique.
The moment Sun Yu skimmed the description, his heart gave a violent thump.
"Using the principles of a cold toad's breathing to temper the bones throughout the body..."
This was... a Bone Forging Realm technique!?
He had searched everywhere in worn-out iron shoes, only to find it without any effort at all.
The Head Shopkeeper could never have dreamed that the treasure he had gone to such lengths to hide in the secret chamber would all become a wedding dress for Sun Yu.
Sun Yu stuffed the ancient book into his robes, tightly wrapped the glazed box in a piece of black cloth, and slung it over his back.
He drew the hunting knife at his waist and strode out of the inner hall through the blood covering the floor.
Outside, wind and snow filled the sky.
Sun Yu took a deep breath of icy air, unprecedented ambition blazing in his eyes.
Nanqiao Town was simply too small in the end.
Then, becoming a blur, Sun Yu sped toward the outskirts of town.
