Chapter 442: Chapter 346: Xu Ruyun’s Challenge (5th update)

In the blink of an eye, the crowd of villagers who were charging toward Qin Jiagui and his companions retreated even faster. Soon, the entire central square was home to nothing but the corpses of around forty to fifty villagers randomly scattered on the ground, Zhang Zhongmou, Qin Jiagui and their group, and Chen Xuanbai, Xu Ruyun, Fu Lingyin, Meng Ting, Meng Jun, and Xiao Bai.

Su Yu’s ruthless decimation of several dozen people in an instant shocked hundreds of villagers into retreat. They all stared at him in absolute terror, as if looking at an incarnation of a Demon God. At this moment, nobody dared to attack.

With blood dripping continuously from his hands, Su Yu finally stopped. Slowly, he turned around and walked towards Chen Xuanbai, Xu Ruyun, and Meng Ting.

Meng Ting’s face was as white as a sheet, and she was barely standing. Dragon Kid, standing beside her, sighed softly. Its eyes were filled with anguish as if regretting its failure to prevent Meng Ting from making a contract with Chen Xuanbai.

Meng Jun was tightly gripping the "Scythe of the Reaper", and his hands were sweaty. He murmured, "How did Su Yu... become so terrifying?"

Even though Su Yu was remarkably powerful when he fought with Wang Di, Meng Jun thought that with the help of Chen Xuanbai’s special abilities, it wouldn’t be difficult to deal with him. After all, no matter how strong Su Yu was, he was just a Sixth-order Powerhouse. However, when Su Yu instantly attacked and killed Zhou Zexun and others, and subsequently killed dozens of Fourth Order warriors like slaughtering dogs, Meng Jun realized he had seriously underestimated Su Yu’s strength.

At this moment, Meng Jun glanced at Meng Ting, feeling a slight sense of unease and regret. Was Miss’s choice just now really without error? Looking at Dragon Kid’s dismayed expression, Meng Jun wondered if Dragon Kid anticipated this outcome.

Meng Jun, despite holding the "Scythe of the Reaper", couldn’t muster the courage to face Su Yu, but Xu Ruyun bravely stepped forward.

After a month, Xu Ruyun had reached the Fifth-order Peak. Undeniably, his talent and comprehension were exceptional. His determination and belief to become stronger even surpassed Su Yu. However, he was stuck at the Fifth-order Peak, finding it hard to make a breakthrough.

But now, with the help of Chen Xuanbai, he possessed the power of the Sixth-order. He wanted to fight against a powerhouse like Su Yu. He had a feeling that if he could fight with Su Yu, he could breakthrough to a true Sixth-order Powerhouse. Coupled with Chen Xuanbai’s enhancement aura, it would make him invincible at Sixth-order.

Su Yu, while the fresh blood continued to drip from his hands, slowly moved towards Chen Xuanbai and Meng Ting. As he took slow steps, the dark aura enveloping his body grew more intense, and even his hair began to grow longer, a transformation that even Su Yu was unaware of.

Unknowingly, his white hair had reached his knees, and Dark Energy continued to envelop his body. Gradually, faint dark demon runes began to appear on his skin.

"Haha—" Suddenly, Su Yu let out a laugh. The laugh was strange, filled with an undertone of bloodthirst and ominous terror.

Ma Ziye furrowed her brows immediately, as she had a feeling that something was off about Su Yu.

Ada tilted its head slightly while resting on Su Yu’s shoulder, and asked: "Su Yu, what’s wrong?" It also felt something was off.

"I’m fine..." Su Yu responded before stopping, as Xu Ruyun had already stood in his way.

"Su Yu, I’ve always wanted to know, if we were on the same level, who would be stronger? I believe... If I could kill you, I can definitely become a real Sixth-order Powerhouse. Su Yu, have a serious fight with me now... I now... have strength no less inferior to yours..."

Xu Ruyun had an extremely cold expression on his face, holding a scalpel between the fingers of both his hands. His eyes were locked onto Su Yu like a hawk, ready to dodge at any moment and stab the scalpels in Su Yu’s eyes and throat.

At this moment, Freedom Village fell silent. Everyone was watching these two figures, including Chen Xuanbai.

Su Yu might be powerful, but Xu Ruyun was also a legendary figure for the villagers of Freedom Village.

Though Xu Ruyun was only at the Fifth-order Peak, his calmness, response, and fighting will were exceptional. Some even believed that based on his Fifth-order Peak strength alone, he could defeat a typical Sixth-order Powerhouse. Now that he had received several enhancement auras from Chen Xuanbai, his strength had reached the Sixth-order. Everyone believed that a fight between Xu Ruyun and Su Yu could not predict the outcome.

Su Yu looked at Xu Ruyun, and Xu Ruyun, with a solemn expression, was closely watching Su Yu like a venomous snake monitoring its prey, without blinking.

Suddenly, Su Yu gave a sly smile and stomped his foot, causing a "pop" sound followed by a "boom". In an instant, their figures clashed together.

Before Xu Ruyun could react, Su Yu had already raised his left hand and slapped it hard across Xu Ruyun’s face.

With a resounding "smack," Xu Ruyun was sent sprawling face-first onto the ground. Upon impact, his face slammed heavily into the earth, releasing a suppressed groan. The force of the collision even caused the ground to crack open. Subsequently, Su Yu lifted his foot and firmly stepped on Xu Ruyun’s head, pushing it entirely into the dirt.

"Worthless. How dare someone of your caliber try to block my path?" Su Yu sneered. Kicking Xu Ruyun’s body ferociously, he sent him flying.

Xu Ruyun tumbled aimlessly as if he were a kite severed from its string. With a heavy "thump," he landed on the ground, his face a mask of blood and dust.

Just one slap from Su Yu had distorted Xu Ruyun’s face, knocking out most of his teeth. Combined with the kick, it resulted in Xu Ruyun completely losing consciousness and collapsing motionless onto the ground.

Surrounding spectators gaped in astonishment, nearly turning to stone. Unable to control herself, Meng Ting let out a scream: "Impossible!"

She had a deep understanding of Xu Ruyun’s abilities, and yet, he had fallen so pathetically against Su Yu, seemingly defeated by a single slap. He now lay on the ground like a beaten dog, unable to move.

Meng Ting’s eyes betrayed her horror as she looked at Su Yu. Dragon Kid by her side sighed: "Tingting, I warned you... Su Yu has become...he’s become unimaginably powerful. You made the wrong choice... Why wouldn’t you listen to me? You chose the wrong person."

Meng Ting shuddered slightly before shaking her head insistently: "No, no...Xu Ruyun must have intended to lose to him...Xuan Bai...Xuan Bai..."

When she turned to look at Chen Xuanbai, she suddenly saw him forcefully push Fu Lingyin, who had been standing in front of him, causing her to tumble towards Su Yu.

Fu Lingyin had been standing in front of Chen Xuanbai, shielding him from Su Yu. Despite her tense expression and sweaty palms, she was determined to protect him from Su Yu’s attack.

What she didn’t expect was Chen Xuanbai suddenly exerting significant force to push her, sending her hurtling towards Su Yu with a startled cry.

Simultaneously, Su Yu reached out his right hand, and with a metallic "shing," the Golden Claw appeared.

"Xuan... Bai..." Fu Lingyin could hardly believe her own eyes. She forced herself to look back, only to see Chen Xuanbai’s indifferent face. A chill descended over her heart as the Golden Claw of Su Yu pierced through her chest.

Chen Xuanbai briefly displayed a strained expression, before making a split-second decision to dart in a different direction. He wanted to escape.

Just a single slap from Su Yu had left Xu Ruyun nearly dead, a shock too great for him to handle. That was why he used all his strength to push Fu Lingyin towards Su Yu and turned on his heel to flee.

As Fu Lingyin’s chest was pierced, a despairing and desolate look washed over her eyes. Any trace of her original arrogance had vanished without a trace.

"Xuan Bai...how...could...you...treat...me...like this...?" Fu Lingyin rasped out weakly, as if intending to add more words. But Su Yu frowned, preparing to pursue the fleeing Chen Xuanbai.

At this point, Meng Ting stood completely dumbstruck. Only she knew the depths of Fu Lingyin’s affection for Chen Xuanbai, and only she could appreciate how profound her admiration was for him. Although Chen Xuanbai had always regarded Fu Lingyin as a sister, the bond between them was more profound than mere familial love. Yet now, to save his own life, Chen Xuanbai had unhesitatingly pushed the normally cherished Fu Lingyin towards Su Yu, towards death?

Was the Chen Xuanbai standing here truly that same refined, usually unflappable and highly capable Chen Xuanbai from their past?

Meng Ting stood there dazed, feeling a chill creeping up from her feet and spreading throughout her body.

Just as Su Yu was about to pounce on the fleeing Chen Xuanbai, Fu Lingyin suddenly erupted into mad laughter. She clung tightly onto Su Yu, screaming, "Xuan Bai, run!"

Even though she knew Chen Xuanbai had pushed her towards death, even though she was aware of how heartlessly Chen Xuanbai had treated her, Fu Lingyin was still willing to risk her life for him, wishing only for his escape.

The onlookers were dumbfounded. Xiao Bai’s face was pale as a sheet, and he shivered slightly.

He had always known of Fu Lingyin’s love for Chen Xuanbai. But because Chen Xuanbai had always treated Fu Lingyin as a sister, and Xiao Bai was in love with Fu Lingyin, he had been pursuing her all these days. He had been close to winning her heart, but then Su Yu and his companions returned. It was then he understood that in Fu Lingyin’s heart, it was always Chen Xuanbai. Xiao Bai would never be able to make her reciprocate his feelings.
