Chapter 436: Chapter 341: The Dragon’s Inverse Scale (Third Update)_2

Looking at Su Yu’s smile, Xia Yan admired him to the utmost degree. He felt that this was the true demeanor of a great general, the heroic courage of one who remains calm even if Mount Taishan collapses before them.

What he didn’t know was that beneath Su Yu’s smiling facade, a surge of anger was rising.

Su Yu wasn’t particularly keen on power struggles. Even though Meng Ting had hurt him and left him feeling dejected and sorrowful, he had never considered fighting with her over Freedom Village. But now, hearing from Xia Yan that Chen Xuanbai had taken control of his old friends, Su Yu’s anger was ignited.

If Chen Xuanbai and Meng Ting dared to harm Zhou Birong and others, Su Yu believed that Freedom Village would be turned into a river of blood today.

With a smile, Su Yu looked at Xia Yan before him and said sternly, "Tell Chen Xuanbai that if he dares to hurt my friends, I believe, I will make him regret being born into this world."

Xia Yan hesitated for a moment. Su Yu patted his shoulder, gave a casual smile, and walked away.

Xia Yan’s face reddened instantaneously. He retreated awkwardly and quietly squeezed back into the crowd.

Ada, who was perched on Su Yu’s shoulder, narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Su Yu, how did you figure out that kid has also become one of Chen Xuanbai’s subordinates?"

Su Yu calmly replied, "His admiration for me is a little too overdone, especially considering the current situation."

Ada chuckled and then sniffed the air, murmuring, "I can smell the imminent scent of blood in the air. Chen Xuanbai has made a wrong move by trying to subdue you through capturing your friends."

Su Yu listened to Ada’s words but did not respond. Instead, his body started to emit an invisible but terrifying aura.

Ada knew that Su Yu was truly angry now.

Ada was very familiar with Su Yu’s personality. Su Yu was generous and unassuming and usually didn’t engage in power struggles. Even with his heart hurt by Meng Ting and Chen Xuanbai assuming leadership of Freedom Village, Su Yu had returned only wishing to take away his friends and a few belongings and then leave. He would probably have been unwilling to vie with Chen Xuanbai for control over Freedom Village. However, Su Yu had his own bottom line that should never be crossed. Once crossed, it was like touching the reverse scale of a dragon, and it would inevitably invoke the dragon’s wrath.

And now, Chen Xuanbai’s attempt to threaten Su Yu by using Zhou Birong, Fang Jiong, and others, was akin to crossing his bottom line. Chen Xuanbai had touched the dragon’s reverse scale.

When Su Yu and his group arrived at the central square of Freedom Village, Zi Yu and Xiao Bai led a group of people to welcome them.

Among this group, Su Yu saw many familiar faces - Zhou Zhurou with her glasses, the inherently introverted Zhang Huaqin, bookish Bu Penglai - all with Zi Yu and Xiao Bai at the helm, followed by a dozen or so people whose faces Su Yu recognized but whose names he couldn’t recall.

Without activating his Perception Eye, Su Yu could tell that among these people only the enigmatic Zi Yu had broken through to Level Five and become a Black Iron Warrior, being the only Level Five Warrior among them. The rest remained at the Fourth Order.

"Su Bro, everyone, Sister Ting had to go out and has not yet returned. We came to welcome you on her behalf. I hope you’re not upset." Xiao Bai’s face broke into a smile. Normally, they would have greeted each other with hugs and handshakes, but now, even with his face brimming with smiles, he had to stop when he was about ten meters away from Su Yu. He, Zi Yu and the others didn’t dare approach further.

Su Yu noticed it, gave a light smile. Despite their welcoming expressions, they all knew deep down that their relationships had deteriorated, which is why even the usually enthusiastic Xiao Bai didn’t dare to approach him within ten meters now. They were all afraid that Su Yu might suddenly lash out.

Ada, who was lazily perched on Su Yu’s shoulder, said, "Meng Ting has gone out? Why do I smell Dragon Kid’s scent? It’s right there..." He suddenly pointed towards a grand building constructed completely from black stone slabs behind everyone.

Xiao Bai’s face changed slightly, a touch of embarrassment surfacing. However, his mind spun rapidly, and he immediately laughed, "Dragon Kid injured his spirit last time and is resting here today. Sister Ting and Brother Meng Jun have gone to the Demon Beast Mountain Range for some business. They may be back soon, I think."

Zhang Zhongmou chuckled, "Xiao Bai, I used to respect you as a straightforward person. But today, it seems you can be quite deceitful, shamelessly lying with your eyes wide open. I reckon Meng Ting doesn’t have the face to see us, claiming she’s not here? Bah, who are you fooling?"

Zhang Zhongmou’s words were ruthless. Xiao Bai’s face flushed while Zi Yu retorted in a cold voice, "Zhang Zhongmou, shut up. Regardless, Sister Ting is the leader of ’Freedom Village’. You may disrespect her, but you can’t insult her like this. Who is backing you up, Zhang Zhongmou?"

Zhang Zhongmou, furious at this, stood up, shouting, "I don’t need anyone to back me up!"

Zi Yu shot a quick glance at Su Yu, then looked at Zhang Zhongmou and sneered, "If you’re not relying on others, what makes you think you can shout and rant here? I, Zi Yu, may not be talented, but I can take care of someone like you with just one hand."

Zhang Zhongmou couldn’t stand the provocation and, in a fit of rage, drew his Red Lotus Sword, declaring, "Fine, let’s see how you, a eunuch, deal with me using just one hand."

Zi Yu’s face changed at being referred to as a ’eunuch’, traces of anger also surfacing on his face. He reckoned that a rift between the two sides was inevitable today. Even though he feared Su Yu, he still wanted to take this opportunity to subdue Zhang Zhongmou. Once he seized Zhang Zhongmou, considering Su Yu’s concern for him, Zi Yu wouldn’t need to fear Su Yu anymore.

"Well, as you wish. I, Zi Yu, always keep my word. One hand will be enough." Saying so, he stepped forward and extended his right hand.

At this moment, he was a Level Five powerhouse. Plus, his power was controlling plants, so there wouldn’t be much difference whether he used one hand or two.

Su Yu was observing every move of Zi Yu’s with a cold gaze. All of these tactics and tricks of his, how could they possibly escape Su Yu’s scrutiny? Meanwhile, Ma Ziye was looking around tirelessly among the crowd, trying to find someone.

This person was Shang Qi.

Although Ma Ziye was able to guess that Meng Ting was hiding and unwilling to meet Su Yu, according to reason, since Zi Yu, Xiao Bai, and others had come out, why was there no trace of Shang Qi?

Ma Ziye couldn’t help but recall the terrifying weapon Shang Qi was preparing to launch during the battle between Su Yu and Wang Di. She understood that the situation today was delicate. At this moment, with Shang Qi absent, she suspected that he might be hiding somewhere. It’s possible that the formidable weapon might be aimed at Su Yu.

Her concerns deepened with each passing moment. Finally, Ma Ziye stepped forward to Su Yu’s side and tugged at his sleeve, regretting not telling him about this earlier.

Su Yu slightly turned his head to glance at her.

"Su Yu, I forgot to tell you. Shang Qi has invented a weapon that can attack from a distance. Though it only has one shot, it is extremely formidable. It can even kill a sixth-order powerhouse. I suspect he might be planning something from the shadows..." Ma Ziye whispered, her face deadly serious, carefully observing their surroundings.

Su Yu listened and felt a shiver run down his spine. He then smiled and whispered back, "I see." He gently patted her shoulder, signaling her to relax.
