Chapter 769: It Truly Is the Sacred Mountain!
They were all exceptionally gifted individuals, each being a standout figure among the younger generation. Although they weren’t disciples of the Five Sects or Three Schools, they originated from powerful forces in the Central Region. How could they tolerate being belittled by an unknown peer of their age?
As Xu Chen observed those few individuals, his handsome face adopted a serious expression. He said, “Well, then I shall ask differently!”
With those gentle words, Xu Chen’s gaze settled directly on a young man in yellow robes standing at the center. His eyes narrowed as he approached him.
“Young one, you have overstepped!”
The young man in yellow robes was also remarkable. Instantly, elemental energy surged within his body, and he launched a punch directly at Xu Chen. His cultivation at the peak of the Third Grade of Yuan Spirit Realm poured forth without restraint, emanating a fierce aura.
“Bang!”
Everything transpired too swiftly, so fast that these people didn’t even have time to react. A deep muffled sound had already emanated from the yellow-robed young man’s fist, causing an explosive release of energy.
Immediately, several pairs of astonished eyes witnessed the yellow-robed young man’s fist unable to advance further. It appeared frozen in place as a hand, radiating a white aura, encompassed it completely, rendering it immobile.
The yellow-robed young man’s expression changed dramatically, his eyes filling with shock.
“Snap!”
From the immobilized fist came a sharp crack, causing the fist and arm to involuntarily rotate. Then, to everyone’s horror, it rotated 360 degrees before abruptly snapping in a heart-stopping, bone-chilling manner.
This break wasn’t just a simple fracture; rather, the bones shattered and split apart while rotating, cracking open completely.
“Ah…”
A pitiful, heartbreaking scream escaped from the yellow-robed young man, resembling the cry of a slaughtered pig. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his face turned ashen, and his eyes filled with terror.
Several people by his side had initially intended to join forces, but upon witnessing this scene, they suddenly felt an inexplicable fear. Their bodies weakened without reason. How could they not realize? The strength of this handsome young man simply exceeded their ability to contend with.
Su Yi approached and stood beside Xu Chen, feeling slightly moved. Xu Chen, this fellow, appeared amiable and could make people feel at ease. However, when taking action, he was swift, decisive, and not to be trifled with.
“I shall ask again, whom exactly are you seeking?” Xu Chen gazed at the yellow-robed young man before him, asking in a melodic voice that remained pleasing to hear.
“We aren’t looking for you. We don’t know you at all. We are searching for Yi Su!”
The yellow-robed young man screamed and wailed in agony. They truly didn’t know this white-robed young man. They were merely tracking Yi Su from the Overlord Sect. As for this white-robed young man’s identity, they remained clueless.
“I said it would end shortly.”
Xu Chen smiled faintly and released the yellow-robed young man. He turned his head and glanced at Su Yi, a hint of pride in his expression. He said, “I told you it wasn’t about you. I rarely have enemies.”
Su Yi reluctantly cast a glance at Xu Chen before furrowing his brows slightly.
Several young people appeared panicked and anxious as they helped the yellow-robed young man stand, preparing to depart.
“Tell me, why have you come seeking me?”
With swift movement, Su Yi stepped before the group, radiating energy as he questioned them.
Several faces turned anxious. They had long known of Yi Su’s reputation from the Overlord Sect. They knew even Ouyang Jinwei from Sacred Mountain couldn’t match him. How could they possibly be his opponents?
“We merely heard your name and wished to become acquainted, nothing more.”
A tall young man, bearing a peculiar tattoo on his wrist, spoke through gritted teeth, “Overlord Sect’s Yi Su might be beyond their ability to contend with, but there are certain individuals they absolutely shouldn’t provoke.”
“It seems peaceful discourse truly is futile!”
Su Yi whispered softly, a glimmer of crimson light flickering in his eyes. As his words faded, he moved forward swiftly, extending his palm to strike the tall young man directly.
His speed proved astonishing. The young man saw Su Yi’s palm approaching and attempted to block it. However, he found himself unable to move as the palm imprint expanded before his eyes, swiftly striking his abdomen like lightning!
“Bam!”
A deep, muffled sound resonated within the young man’s abdomen.
“Ha ha…”
He spat blood from his mouth, his body instantly flying backward and crashing heavily in the distance, causing the ground to fracture.
“Ah…”
Immediately, he released a scream of agony, clutching his belly while rolling on the ground.
Everyone could see that the young man’s vital energy had been destroyed, his energy center shattered, leaving him disabled.
“Huff…”
Some people trembled, gasping in horror. The young man, without any means of resistance, had been disabled with a single strike. It resembled killing him yet feeling remorseful about it.
Su Yi paid little attention to the young man. With deep, mysterious eyes, a faint crimson light flickered, exuding a cold aura. He maintained a fierce presence as he questioned the remaining few, “Why are you searching for me?”
“Sir, it isn’t our concern—it’s the people from Sacred Mountain who requested our search!”
The young man spoke in fright. They couldn’t afford to offend Sacred Mountain’s people, but now Yi Su from the Overlord Sect had demonstrated such fierce brutality. They dared not provoke him either.
“Sacred Mountain!”
Upon hearing those words, Su Yi’s gaze instantly grew solemn. He regarded the group and demanded, “Tell me everything you know!”
“Sacred Mountain’s disciples found us and requested our help in locating your whereabouts. They promised generous rewards if we reported your location immediately. However, we remain uncertain of our precise role.”
“This truly doesn’t concern us; we merely need to remain attentive to Sacred Mountain!”
The young men no longer dared conceal anything and revealed all.
Their sects all relied upon Sacred Mountain’s existence, living and surviving thanks to it. How could they dare disobey?
Sacred Mountain’s disciples were instructed to monitor Yi Su from the Overlord Sect, with promises of substantial rewards. Upon seeing him, they naturally took notice.
Having learned everything, Su Yi’s expression turned solemn. In the depths of his calm, profound eyes, a crimson glimmer flashed. It truly was Sacred Mountain.
“Phew!”
Exhaling quietly, Su Yi fixed his gaze upon these young people, his eyes sharp. He inquired, “Sacred Mountain sent you to find me, so you came. Is it because you believe I’m easily bullied?”
“Yi Su, we have revealed everything; please don’t persist. Our sect maintains deep connections with Sacred Mountain, and if you harm us, they certainly won’t spare you!”
A young man spoke through gritted teeth, gathering courage to address Su Yi.
“It appears indeed true. I am easily fooled. Since you maintain connections with the school and Sacred Mountain, I shall assist you!”
As these words fell from his lips, a chill flickered in Su Yi’s eyes.
Immediately, shrieks of agony resonated through the dark night, piercing screams echoing throughout the mountain range.
Several youths spat blood one after another, curling up and writhing in pain, completely crippled.
Su Yi showed no restraint; since they maintained connections to Sacred Mountain and sought him, courtesy proved unnecessary.
“Sacred Mountain appears a formidable opponent; it seems your foe exceeds the ordinary.”
Observing each youth lying on the ground, Xu Chen’s eyes subtly changed. For a warrior, having one’s cultivation destroyed in their dantian and qi sea was, in some ways, even more cruel than what had befallen them.
