"Yes!"
The resounding echoes, filled with the fervor of survivors, erupted from the mouths of the fifty Demon Suppression Guard.
They looked at Su Yu's back, their eyes filled with nothing but pure awe and obedience.
In the next instant, the group transformed into hungry wolves, pouncing with murderous intent towards the fleeing Demon God Cult.
Screams and pleas for mercy rose and fell, only to be swiftly severed by the blade.
Su Yu did not participate in the final massacre; he had already killed Liu Qingyun and Zhang Qiang, the two strongest fighters.
The rest are just some followers of the Spirit Realm, nothing to worry about. Besides, there's Zhang He, a Demon Suppression Commandant at the Mystic Realm Fourth Level, among them.
Su Yu stood there and slowly closed his eyes.
His spiritual power, at the Spirit Realm Seventh Level, spread out like a tidal wave, revealing everything—streets, houses, cellars, secret passages—without any escape from his perception.
He soon "saw" deep within the county government office, an underground prison shrouded in blood and resentment.
In the dark corner of the prison, a few faint but familiar breaths huddled together, like candles flickering in the wind.
Lin Xiao.
Tang Shan.
Several surviving Demon Suppression Guard were imprisoned there.
Su Yu's figure blurred, leaving behind an afterimage before he vanished.
Inside the Blood Prison.
The stench was a mixture of foul smells and the stench of blood, making one want to vomit.
Lin Xiao leaned against the cold wall, his chest heaving violently, each breath aggravating the wounds all over his body.
Tang Shan, who was next to him, was in even worse condition; one of his arms was twisted unnaturally, and he had fainted.
They could feel the sounds of fighting outside and the terrifying power of the thunder.
At this moment, all fell silent again.
Is it over?
Was the reinforcement defeated, or...?
Lin Xiao's heart sank to the bottom.
boom!!!
The prison door, forged from black iron and engraved with eerie runes, blasted open inwards!
The massive metal door twisted and whistled as it grazed Lin Xiao's scalp before crashing heavily into the wall behind him, causing the entire dungeon to tremble.
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a figure walked in unhurriedly.
Lin Xiao struggled to lift his head, and through his cloudy vision, he saw that familiar black tiger robe.
It's Su Yu.
He was spotless, completely out of place in this hellish prison, as if he were just taking a walk after dinner.
Lin Xiao's body trembled violently.
He opened his mouth, his chapped lips twitching for a long time, but he couldn't utter a single word.
One month ago.
When Su Yu left, he was just a junior who had just entered the Spirit Realm and needed his guidance and care.
Now...
Liu Qingyun, who was at the Mystic Realm Fifth Level and even exuding the pressure of the Earth Realm, was killed by him?
Was he the one who summoned that devastating, pitch-black lightning bolt?
Hallucination.
This must be a hallucination I had before I was critically injured and on the verge of death, but the young man in front of me, dressed in the uniform of a captain, seemed incredibly real.
"Chief Lin."
Su Yu's calm call brought Lin Xiao back to reality.
He walked up to Lin Xiao, flicked his finger, and a pill landed precisely in Lin Xiao's mouth.
As soon as the pill entered his stomach, a surge of powerful life force instantly cleansed his damaged meridians.
The unmistakable touch and the regaining strength finally confirmed to Lin Xiao that this was not a dream.
He stared at Su Yu's face, which was still young but already unfathomable, and his mind went blank.
"Commander Su... Captain Su..."
Lin Xiao's voice was hoarse as he struggled to bow, but Su Yu stopped him by raising his hand.
"Heal the wounds first."
Su Yu's words were simple, yet carried an undeniable authority.
Tang Shan, who was unconscious beside him, slowly woke up. When he opened his eyes and saw Su Yu, he was jolted awake.
"Su... Brother Su!"
Tang Shan was no less shocked than Lin Xiao, but even more so overjoyed!
He hadn't forgotten that Su Yu had promised to help him avenge the Blood Baleful Intent Hall!
He originally thought that would be a long time from now, but now, Su Yu descended like a god or Gods and Devils, easily killing a powerful enemy that even Chief Lin could not match.
hope!
An unprecedented hope exploded in his heart!
So what if Zhou Tong is the Lord of the Blood Demon Hall? So what if he's a powerful Earth Realm expert? He'll never be a match for Su Yu in the future!
Tang Shan recalled Su Yu's words, "He will die in the future!"
Tang Shan originally thought that with Su Yu's talent, he would have a chance to break through to the Earth Realm in a dozen years and avenge himself and his entire Lineage.
To his surprise, in just over a month, Su Yu had already reached the Mystic Realm level of combat power, and not just any ordinary Mystic Realm.
Judging from this cultivation speed, as long as Su Yu doesn't die, he will definitely become a powerful Earth Realm expert within the next three years at the latest. Tang Shan couldn't hide his excitement.
However, Su Yu ignored their inner thoughts and simply gave a brief explanation.
"The area outside has been cleared. You may resume your work here. Zhang He will handle the rest."
After saying that, he turned and left without any hesitation.
Watching that composed departing figure, Lin Xiao and Tang Shan exchanged glances, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
Su Yu did not linger at the county government office.
He went straight back to the small courtyard where he used to live in Nanhe County.
The courtyard was furnished as before, though it was covered in some dust.
Su Yu sat down on the stone bench, and with a thought, a storage ring stained with dried blood appeared in his hand.
Liu Qingyun's belongings.
The ring still retained the chilling aura of death Bone-Eroding Demon General.
Su Yu mobilized the Eight Desolations Demon-Suppressing Qi, and dark golden Spiritual Qi covered his palm, grinding it towards the soul imprint inside the ring.
Click.
A crisp sound.
The complex mark belonging to the Bone-Eroding Demon General instantly collapsed under the restraint of the Demon-Suppressing Spiritual Qi.
He probed into it with his divine sense.
The space wasn't large, but the contents surprised Su Yu somewhat.
First, there are several martial arts manuals.
" Blood Shadow Movement Technique," " Soul Severing Claw," and " Blood Transformation Divine Art "... three martial arts techniques at the top level of the Spirit Realm.
For ordinary martial artists in the Spirit Realm, this is already a fortune that can incite a bloody battle.
Besides these, there was another cultivation technique that caught Su Yu's attention.
The Demon God Summoning.
The lower-grade Mystic Realm Spirit Refinement Technique nourishes one's own soul through the sacrifice of living beings.
Liu Qingyun's rapid breakthrough is probably inseparable from this method.
"It's an evil practice, but its principles can be analyzed and integrated into my own path."
Su Yu noted it down, preparing to have the system analyze it later.
The ring also contained some pills and tens of thousands of taels of silver notes, but they were of little use to him.
As he scanned the area with his divine sense and prepared to withdraw, his movements suddenly paused.
In the corner of the storage ring, a letter sealed with sealing wax lay quietly.
The envelope was made of the hide of some kind of demon beast, and the seal wax branded not with the emblem of the Demon God Cult, but with the design of a small sword.
Mystic Sword Sect.
Su Yu's gaze fixed on the letter, and he immediately took it into his hand.
Tear off the sealing wax and pull out the letter.
The letter contained little content, but the handwriting was strong and vigorous.
When Su Yu's gaze swept over the contents of the letter, his expression instantly turned cold.
The letter contained information about Su Yu, provided to Liu Qingyun by the Mystic Sword Sect.
[... Su Yu, this boy...]
" Mystic Sword Sect!"
A murderous glint flashed in Su Yu's eyes; he didn't care about the collusion between the Mystic Sword Sect and the Demon God Cult Sect.
However, since both sides are targeting him now, he has to do something.
He hadn't forgotten how he had been forced into the inner perimeter of the Black Demon Mountain Range by the Mystic Sword Sect, a near-death experience.
