Three zhang away, on a finely refined steel target used for testing strength, a thin scratch half an inch deep Soundless appeared in the morning light.
Su Yu retracted the closed finger blades, and the surging blood and qi in his body gradually calmed down.
very good.
The Asura Blood Sha Slash perfectly matches his Myriad Manifestations Prison-Suppressing Intent and Killing Saber Force. Even when he simply uses his fingers as a blade, its power far surpasses what it used to be.
As for the other martial art...
He opened his palm, and a wisp of dark red flame danced in his hand, scorching the surrounding air and causing it to distort slightly.
" The Prison-Burning Star-Shattering Seal "
It combines wide-area burning with extreme single-point penetration, making up for his shortcomings in close combat.
With a thought, Su Yu unfurled a panel visible only to himself in his mind.
[Host: Su Yu ]
[Cultivation Level: Qi Refinement Mystic Realm Fifth Level, Spirit Refinement Mystic Realm Fifth Level, Body-Tempering Mystic Realm Ninth Level ]
[Cultivation Techniques: Myriad Manifestations Prison-Suppressing Intent (Profound) Supreme Subtlety, Pagoda Demonic Baleful Intent Art (Profound) Supreme Subtlety, Purple-Gold Prison-Suppressing Scripture (Profound) Supreme Subtlety ]

[ Slaughter Points: 9000]
Looking at that string of lonely numbers, Su Yu frowned almost imperceptibly.
Overnight, more than 400,000 Slaughter Points were squandered.
In return, all they received were two Mystic Realm- tier martial arts techniques at the beginner level.
This amount of Slaughter Points isn't even enough to fill a gap in the new martial arts technique.
He possessed powerful weapons, yet was powerless to wield them.
Just as Su Yu was pondering where to "open up new sources of income," a powerful aura of the Earth Realm descended upon the courtyard without warning!
Thump!
A loud bang, not from a knock, but from the dull thud of something heavy slamming into the door.
The entire courtyard gate was shaking violently.
Su Yu's eyes narrowed, and he opened the courtyard gate.
Outside the door, Cao Ping, clad in heavy black armor, stood like an iron tower.
Cao Ping's resolute face was now as taut as iron. His imposing figure almost blocked the entire courtyard gate, and even the shadow he cast exuded a sense of impending doom.
"Urgent mission."
Without uttering a single word, Cao Ping handed over a black scroll sealed with crimson sealing wax.
The scroll was icy cold to the touch, and the stench of blood seemed to penetrate the seal and pierce the skin.
Su Yu took the scroll, but instead of opening it immediately, he spoke directly.
Where?
" City of Calamity and Chaos!"
When Cao Ping uttered those four words, his voice was extremely low, as if the name itself carried some kind of Taboo.
"We just received intelligence that a group from the Blood Baleful Intent Hall has infiltrated that area."
"They are preparing to hold a large-scale 'blood sacrifice' in the city."
Blood sacrifice.
These two words caused the Myriad Manifestations Prison-Suppressing Intent within Su Yu to pause.
This represents endless slaughter and death.
It also means...
" The City of Calamity and Chaos is a lawless zone, a melting pot of all sorts of people."
Cao Ping's voice carried a chilling, iron-blooded edge. "That place is a gathering place for wanted criminals, cult members, and even demons; it's a malignant tumor that even our Demon Suppression Bureau struggles to completely control."
"Intelligence indicates that the Blood Baleful Intent Hall has a grand scheme this time, and the sacrifices may very well be the entire population of the city!"
"According to protocol, a threat of this level should be personally led by a commander to eliminate it."
Cao Ping paused, a hint of helplessness flashing across his resolute face.
"But now headquarters is severely understaffed. Commander Yang and his men are confronting the Demon Race Northern Nether Sea, and the other commanders also have their own important duties."
He raised his head, his gaze sharp and fixed on Su Yu.
"Therefore, we have no choice but to send you there first."
A captain is tasked with handling a serious incident that requires a commander-level officer to deal with.
Cao Ping was prepared for the other party to be surprised, hesitant, or even resistant.
After all, this was almost a mission that would result in certain death.
However, Su Yu's face remained expressionless.
A flicker of... excitement even flashed in those unfathomable eyes.
"Good."
In short, decisive and efficient.
Cao Ping's prepared speech was instantly shut down by this one word.
City of Calamity and Chaos?
A no-man's-land?
Blood Baleful Intent Hall? Blood Sacrifice?
These words, which represented extreme danger in Cao Ping's mouth, automatically transformed into a different concept in Su Yu's mind.
A massive, mobile, inexhaustible treasure trove of Slaughter Points!
Just when I was worried about where to replenish my supplies, the opportunity came knocking on my door.
This made him even more convinced that coming to Qing Province was the right decision.
Looking at Su Yu's calm and composed face, Cao Ping's last trace of worry dissipated.
Perhaps only a monster like this could deal with that city of madmen.
"Here are your mission documents and access token."
Cao Ping handed him the scroll and a token. "There's no Iron-Feathered Eagle Post Station in the City of Calamity and Chaos; you'll need to get there yourself. Here's a map."
He then handed him a map made of animal hide.
"Kid..." Cao Ping patted Su Yu's shoulder hard, with a lot of force.
"That's not Tiannan Commandery; people's hearts there are more poisonous than demons."
Be careful in everything you do.
Su Yu nodded and put the things away.
He doesn't need to prepare anything.
Becoming stronger is his best preparation.
He turned around, said no more, and walked straight out of the courtyard gate of " Listening to the Wind Courtyard ".
The black figure cast a long shadow in the morning sunlight and stepped onto the road leading to that city of chaos and slaughter without hesitation.
Cao Ping stood there, watching him disappear around the corner of the buildings. After a long while, he finally let out a long sigh.
"Hopefully, it's you who wreaks havoc on that city, rather than being swallowed up by it..."
Su Yu walked out of the Demon Suppression Bureau Division headquarters.
Half an hour later, following the map, he arrived at a post station specifically for long-distance transportation.
The creature parked here is a much larger behemoth, better suited for long-distance flight— the Wind-Thunder Vulture.
"Go to the City of Calamity and Chaos."
Su Yu tossed a gold leaf and the Demon Suppression Bureau's captain's token to the courier in charge of registration.
When the courier saw the token and weighed the heavy gold leaf in his hand, his laziness vanished instantly, replaced by utmost respect.
"Please wait a moment, my lord, the Wind-Thunder Vulture will be ready soon!"
Soon, a colossal beast with a wingspan exceeding ten zhang and whose feathers crackled with pale blue lightning was led out.
Su Yu leaped up and landed steadily on the broad back of the Wind-Thunder Vulture.
"Uh--!"
With a high-pitched cry, the Wind-Thunder Vulture flapped its wings violently, whipping up a gust of wind, and soared into the sky.
The outline of Qing Province City rapidly shrank beneath my feet, and soon disappeared completely.
Su Yu sat down cross-legged, letting the strong winds from high above blow his robes.
He slowly closed his eyes.
Within his sea of consciousness, the two newly mastered top-tier martial arts techniques were like two ferocious beasts howling for food, yearning for a grand feast of slaughter.
" City of Calamity and Chaos..."
I hope you won't let me down.
