A powerful mental pressure poured down along with the sound waves.
This power completely surpassed the limits of the Spirit Realm martial artist's understanding.
The immense pressure forcibly suppressed the flow of Spiritual Qi in the entire space below.
The bluestone paving stones cracked under the weight, sending large chunks of stone flying into the air before crumbling into dust under the pressure.
The underground river's flow was forcibly stopped, and the surface of the water appeared eerily smooth.
Release them.
"This old man and you, young master, will arrive in three breaths."
"If you harm even a hair on his head, the Duke Chen's Residence clan will be executed."
A deafening spiritual transmission reverberated throughout the spacious water fortress.
Every word carried the unique spiritual pressure of the Mystic Realm expert, striking the eardrums of everyone present.
Strong.
overbearing
They completely disregarded the Demon Suppression Guard below.
Upon hearing this telepathic message, Zheng Tie, lying in a pool of blood, convulsed violently, his taut nerves completely relaxing.
His face was contorted with extreme excitement.
The overwhelming joy completely dispelled the fear of facing death.
They survived.
People from the Duke Chen's Residence have arrived.
In this territory of Qing Province, the title "Duke Chen" is as powerful as the heavens.
Even if this Demon Suppression Guard from Tiannan Commandery had ten times the courage, he would absolutely not dare to brandish his sword in front of the Chen Family family.
Zheng Tie gripped the sticky bluestone slabs tightly with both hands, trying to prop up his limp body.
He turned his head to the side and tore open his mouth, which was full of blood.
Did you hear that?
"The young master will be here soon. Kneel down and beg me now, and perhaps I might be able to spare your life!"
Su Yu's back was bent slightly from the pressure.
The armor plates of the Xuan Tie Heavy Armor were squeezed and deformed against each other, producing a piercing metallic friction sound.
The Duke Chen's Residence?
Did they release Zheng Tie?
It doesn't exist!
Deep within his sea of consciousness, divine awareness erupted.
Although the divine sense of someone at the Spirit Refinement Spirit Realm Fourth Level is not high, it is extremely condensed under the tempering of a top-grade cultivation technique.
An invisible spiritual force coalesced into an extremely sharp awl.
The Mystic Realm spiritual barrier pressed down directly on his head.
Bang.
A faint popping sound came from the air.
The pressure from the Mystic Realm was forcibly torn open, creating a gap the size of a palm.
The feeling of being confined decreased instantly.
Seizing this fleeting moment, Su Yu's right arm muscles suddenly bulged.
The dark golden Eight Desolations Demon-Suppressing Qi- Suppressing Qi poured into the blade without reservation.
The dark red blood-red light on the black-gold longsword suddenly surged three feet.
Without the slightest delay.
They didn't even respond with a single unnecessary word.
The blade, whistling through the air, slashed down at an extremely tricky angle along the back of Zheng Tie's neck.
puff!
The dull thud of flesh and blood being completely separated echoed throughout the water village.
Zheng Tie's head flew several meters away due to the enormous inertia, tumbling through the air more than a dozen times before crashing heavily onto a broken stone pillar.
The neck cavity, having lost its head, instantly lost its pressure.
Warm blood gushed out, splashing more than two zhang high, directly soaking Su Yu's black iron boots.
The head, which had rolled into the pile of rubble, stared wide-eyed.
The ecstasy before his death was still frozen on his face, showing no signs of fading, yet his eyes were filled with extreme horror and resentment.
He never understood it until his death.
By what right do these Demon Suppression Guard dare to disregard the Duke's Residence's direct orders?
[Ding! Slayed Spirit Realm Eighth Level Martial Artist, gained 800 Slaughter Points!]
On the stone platform not far away.
Cao Yue gripped the cracked ground tightly with both hands and struggled to lift her head.
The moment she saw the headless corpse, her heart skipped a beat.
The Chen Family's reputation was utterly shattered by Su Yu's blade in front of everyone, leaving them no room for maneuver.
After a brief moment of shock.
A sudden, intense surge of pleasure welled up in Cao Yue's chest.
Zheng Tie, this scoundrel who colluded with demons to murder civilians, deserves to be torn to pieces.
If we were to cower and let such a villain go because of a word from a powerful person, then wearing this Demon Suppression Armor would be a complete joke.
Boom!
With a deafening roar, the ten-zhang-thick rock dome above shattered completely.
Huge boulders crashed one after another into the underground river, stirring up a cloud of murky water.
Within three breaths, without the slightest error.
Two figures descended from the sky, stepping on the swirling dust and rain of stones, and landed steadily on the highest, intact stone platform in the water village.
A young man stood with his hands behind his back.
He was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, with a fine Hetian jade pendant hanging at his waist, and his posture was upright.
Chen Yu, son of the Duke of Duke Chen.
He didn't look at Zheng Tie on the ground; his gaze casually swept around the surroundings.
The ground was littered with the remains of water demons, their shattered entrails stained with the dark red of the underground river.
Finally, Chen Yu's gaze slowly fell on the headless corpse that was still gushing blood.
An extremely cold aura emanated from Chen Yu.
The calm on her face was completely shattered.
This is not because I am saddened by Zheng Tie's death.
To him, Zheng Tie was nothing more than a barking dog used to amass wealth for the Chen Family.
If a dog dies, you can get another one.
But you have to consider the owner before you beat a dog.
Throughout his life, in this Qing Province region, no outsider has ever dared to kill anyone the Chen Family is protecting in front of him.
This is a complete slap in the face to him.
Chen Yu turned his head, and the muscles on the side of his face twitched slightly.
He extended his slender, pale finger and pointed below at Su Yu, who was holding a blood-stained blade.
"Kill him."
The voice was extremely calm, yet it carried an undisguised brutality.
The old man standing behind Chen Yu had a full head of white hair and a hunched back.
He was Chen Yu's personal bodyguard, sent by the Duke Chen's Residence's mansion.
He was also the one who released the Mystic Realm spiritual pressure just now.
The white-haired guard's gaze fell on Su Yu below, then settled on the highly recognizable Tiannan Commandery Demon Suppression -Suppressing Black Iron Armor.
His two white eyebrows were tightly knitted together.
The old man was frantically weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
Killing a local gang leader is something you can easily settle by paying some money.
However, killing a registered member of the Demon Suppression Bureau in public is a completely different matter.
None of the commanders of the Demon Suppression Bureau are easy to deal with.
If we really kill this kid here, the Demon Suppression Bureau will definitely keep harassing the Chen Family.
Even if the Duke Chen personally intervenes, he will have to pay a heavy price.
This trip was just a side trip to collect accounts from the waterways; there was absolutely no need to create such an unmanageable mess.
The white-haired guard stepped forward and spoke in a low voice.
"Young master, this man is wearing standard heavy armor of black iron and carries Demon Suppression Saber; he must be one of Lu Cang's elite troops."
"Killing him here would likely attract an investigation from the Demon Suppression Bureau headquarters to the Duke."
"It would be better to severely injure him first and then hand him over to the magistrate of Yu County to be convicted according to the Great Qin Law."
Chen Yu suddenly turned his head.
A chilling gaze fell directly on the white-haired guard's face.
"How?"
"Having eaten at the Chen Family's house for so long, they can't even understand what their masters are saying anymore?"
I'm saying it one last time.
"I want him dead now."
The white-haired guard's body stiffened abruptly.
He knew all too well the deep-seated malice and toxicity of Chen Yu.
If he doesn't act in accordance with this young master's wishes today, his position as a retainer will be over when he returns to the Duke's Residence, and he might not even be able to save his life.
Enough with the chit-chat.
The white-haired guard sighed softly and slowly took a step forward.
The terrifying spiritual pressure of the Mystic Realm First Level erupted from his body without reservation.
The air within a ten-foot radius was instantly sucked out, and the water on the ground, drawn by spiritual energy, created a bizarre phenomenon of patches of water flowing backward and rising into the air.
He looked down at Su Yu from his elevated position.
"Young man, it's a good thing to have guts."
"But in Qing Province, if you offend the Chen Family, your skin won't protect your life."
