Chapter 722: Chapter 722: In War, Deception is Essential!

Zhou Yu followed the mountain guards and others, walking toward the back of Red Leaf Villa.

Seeing the surroundings get quieter, He Xu subconsciously hugged Zhou Yu’s arm and asked in a low voice,

"Zhou Yu, why do I feel something is off here?"

Zhou Yu smiled faintly.

"Don’t worry, with me here, nothing will happen."

He Xu gave Zhou Yu a big eye roll.

"You, you’re just a severe case of male chauvinism."

Zhou Yu touched his nose.

"Really?"

He Xu took a deep breath and said,

"Zhou Yu, Red Leaf Villa has a deep background. If you can avoid fighting, try not to stir up trouble."

Zhou Yu chuckled and said,

"He Xu, you have spoken too late."

"You forgot, just now, to save you, I already demolished Yunshui Pavilion!"

"..."

He Xu was speechless.

At that moment, Zhou Yu suddenly sensed something and looked ahead.

Not far in front, there was a pavilion.

Inside the pavilion, three people were drinking tea.

Seeing the mountain guards and others approaching, a portly middle-aged man in a suit stood up and walked out of the pavilion.

The mountain guard came up to this man and said,

"Vice President Zhou, the troublemakers have been brought here."

Vice President Zhou nodded, his gaze shifted to Zhou Yu, sizing him up before he spoke.

"Boy, I know you are definitely capable; the three Saint Realm masters of our Red Leaf Villa couldn’t stop you."

"However, I want to tell you something, Red Leaf Villa is not afraid of anything, especially not someone who doesn’t know whether they’re dead or alive like you."

Vice President Zhou’s words were clearly meant to intimidate Zhou Yu.

Of course, he also wanted to probe Zhou Yu’s limits.

However, Zhou Yu chose to ignore it.

His gaze shifted to the other two people remaining in the pavilion.

They were an old man and a young man.

The younger one had the look of a noble young master with a face full of arrogance.

The elder, however, had white hair and eyebrows, an unassuming presence, and a calm demeanor, but Zhou Yu sensed a powerful aura emanating from him.

Just as Zhou Yu looked at the elder, the elder seemed to feel it and also looked back at him.

Their gazes met for a moment before the elder turned his head back and continued drinking his tea.

Seeing this, the young man asked,

"Elder, what is it?"

The elder slowly said,

"This young man is no ordinary person."

The young man shook his head and laughed,

"Elder, this person has offended Red Leaf Villa; he’s already a dead man."

The elder shook his head and said,

"Not necessarily."

"I see that this lad is calm and composed, not someone who seems short-lived."

The young man chuckled.

"Elder, I remember you don’t easily praise people, what’s different today?"

The elder smiled and said nothing.

Meanwhile, Vice President Zhou obviously noticed that Zhou Yu had ignored him.

His face immediately showed a sullen expression.

"Boy, didn’t you hear my words?"

Zhou Yu frowned.

"If you have something to say, just say it outright, don’t beat around the bush."

"What did you say???"

Vice President Zhou hadn’t expected Zhou Yu to be so arrogant and he immediately got angry.

"Do you know where this is? How dare you speak to me like that?"

"Looking for death, are you?"

As soon as the words fell, the experts around Zhou Yu instantly surrounded him, each emanating a fierce aura.

Being enveloped by these numerous auras, He Xu’s face turned deathly pale, and she felt breathing becoming difficult.

"Hmph!"

Zhou Yu snorted coldly.

He unleashed the Eight Desolations Fist, instantly shattering the surrounding momentum.

"What, bringing me to this remote place isn’t just to make it easier to make a move?"

"If you want to fight, just come at me, why the pretense?"

The Vice President Zhou chuckled coldly.

"Since you are already prepared to die, that’s for the best."

"But rest assured, you won’t die easily."

After speaking, he waved his hand.

"Mountain Guard, cripple him."

The Mountain Guard nodded, and the next moment, his body erupted with a terrifying aura. He threw a punch, charging directly at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu shielded He Xu behind him, then activated the Golden Cauldron Technique and counteracted with Dragon Gang Strength.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In an instant, the two were engaged in combat, exchanging blows.

The residual waves of the Gang Jin forced the nearby people to continually step back.

Only the old man in the gazebo and the young man remained unmoved.

If one observed carefully, they would notice that any residual waves of Gang Jin approaching were shattered by an invisible force field.

The two were exchanging blows fiercely, engaging in several moves without determining a winner.

Vice President Zhou shouted angrily,

"Mountain Guard, what are you doing? Can’t you even handle this kid?"

Hearing this, Mountain Guard became anxious. He threw punches consecutively, but far from suppressing Zhou Yu, he was caught off-guard by an opening.

Zhou Yu seized the moment and let out a long howl from his mouth.

Roar—

The powerful Sound Wave Technique transformed into a beam, striking directly at Mountain Guard’s sea of consciousness.

Caught off-guard, Mountain Guard’s spirit trembled, his face showing a pained and dazed expression as he stood frozen in place.

Seizing this opportunity, Zhou Yu punched directly at Mountain Guard’s chest.

Bang!

The punch struck Mountain Guard’s chest in an instant.

But a strange thing happened.

The body of the Mountain Guard, like an illusion, shattered.

"An afterimage?"

Zhou Yu was startled!

Just then, a sharp voice came from behind him.

Zhou Yu reacted extremely fast, immediately activating the Golden Cauldron Technique for defense, but...

Bang!

Zhou Yu’s Golden Cauldron Technique was directly penetrated.

A bloody hole appeared on his back.

Zhou Yu immediately activated the Mountain River Step, retreating more than thirty feet.

After stabilizing himself, he saw that Mountain Guard had appeared behind him, holding a short sword in his hand.

"Did you think you hit me with your Sound Wave Technique?"

Zhou Yu frowned.

"Were you pretending just now?"

Mountain Guard chuckled coldly.

"Kid, this is called war strategy!"

"You defeated Mr. Yan by unexpectedly using the Sound Wave Attack; do you think I’d make the same mistake with you?"

"Heh, how does this sword feel?"

Zhou Yu’s expression darkened, not expecting to have been deceived by Mountain Guard.

Seeing Zhou Yu’s grim expression, Mountain Guard grew even more triumphant, shaking the short sword in his hand, revealing a faint blue luster on it.

"I must admit, your skill at your age is indeed exceptional, and in a real fight, I might not be able to defeat you, but..."

"This sword is coated with a potent poison. Soon, the venom will corrode your entire body’s veins, and your death will be miserable..."

"Kneel and beg for mercy now, and I might spare your life."
