Chapter 914: Chapter 914: Continuous Obstruction!

Zhou Yu’s face was more solemn than ever at this moment.

Without hesitation, he directly activated the Eight Desolations Fist, gathering all his strength within to face off against Qu Hong at full power. Yet even so, he was barely holding on.

Witnessing this scene, Qu Hong’s expression revealed a trace of surprise.

"What cultivation technique is this? Not bad, it can even withstand my attacks!"

"However, I’ve only used less than half of my strength. If this is all you’ve got, then prepare to die obediently."

As he spoke, an even stronger surge of Gang Jin erupted from Qu Hong’s body.

As soon as this terrifying Gang Jin appeared, a powerful ripple spread throughout the hall, instantly causing the walls to be covered in dense cracks.

Bear in mind, this was the Yunzhou Martial Pavilion.

Its internal structure and building materials were far superior to ordinary residential houses.

Even the average Saint Realm expert would find it difficult to destroy the buildings here.

Yet now, merely the ripple from Qu Hong’s dispersed Gang Jin had cracked the walls. One could only imagine the outcome if one were struck directly.

As Zhou Yu faced imminent death, Nan Tangmu was desperate to step forward and assist him. But as soon as he moved, Qu Hong casually waved his hand, and a terrifying Qi Force blasted Nan Tangmu, sending him flying backward.

The gap was too vast; Nan Tangmu had no capacity to retaliate.

Casually swatting aside Nan Tangmu, Qu Hong turned his gaze toward Zhou Yu, a trace of cold laughter flashing through his eyes.

"No one can save you. Accept your fate and die in peace!"

With that, Qu Hong prepared to strike.

But just at that moment, a furious voice rang out.

"Qu Hong, stop immediately!"

Along with the furious shout came several auras of Saint Realm experts, pressing down simultaneously on Qu Hong.

Qu Hong’s brow furrowed slightly as he looked outside, only to see a crowd of people storming in.

Within this group, there were six Saint Realm experts.

Yet Qu Hong paid them no mind; his gaze focused instead on the middle-aged man standing among the six.

The man seemed about fifty years old, his face stern, radiating authority without the need for anger.

Upon seeing this man, Qu Hong squinted his eyes.

"Governor Wang, what is this? Are you planning to meddle in this matter as well?"

The newcomer was none other than the governor of Yun State, Wang Zhongguo.

Wang Zhongguo showed no fear of Qu Hong. He strode directly up to him and coldly stared him down.

"Qu Hong, you cannot harm him."

Qu Hong squinted, his glare chillingly cold.

"Do you think you can stop me, Old Man?"

Wang Zhongguo displayed not a shred of fear.

"I can’t stop you. But if you insist on harming him, it will have to be over my dead body."

Though Wang Zhongguo was just an ordinary man, his status and position were far too significant. As the governor of an entire region, if someone were to kill him outright, it would instigate absolute chaos—even Qu Hong couldn’t afford to act recklessly.

Unless he intended for the Qu Family to be utterly destroyed.

Yet, this alone wasn’t enough to intimidate Qu Hong.

A cold smile played across Qu Hong’s face.

"Wang Zhongguo, you assume I wouldn’t dare kill you, so you spout such bold words."

"But I have ten thousand ways to bypass you and kill him."

"What can you do about it?"

As he spoke, Qu Hong waved his hand, and the terrifying Gang Jin transformed into something akin to a Barrier, instantly suppressing Wang Zhongguo and all his subordinates.

Wang Zhongguo and his group were entirely immobilized.

Following this, Qu Hong turned his attention back to Zhou Yu and prepared to strike.

Seeing the situation unfold, Wang Zhongguo cried out furiously:

"Qu Hong, protecting Zhou Yu is a direct order from the Capital City. If you dare touch him, you’re defying the Capital City’s decree. Think carefully!"

Upon hearing this, Qu Hong burst into uproarious laughter.

"Old Man, I’ve long known he has ties to the Capital City. So what? Unless someone from the Capital City arrives in person, I’ll still kill him without any hesitation."

With that, Qu Hong raised his hand to strike.

But just then, a ghostly Qi Force suddenly attacked.

The previously arrogant and domineering Qu Hong showed his first visible shift in expression. His body abruptly retreated one step backward, and, after dispersing the force with a countermeasure, he fixed his solemn gaze toward the window.

Through the window, he saw a faint yet discernible shadow looming outside.

"Who is it!!!" Qu Hong shouted angrily.

A voice drifted from outside the window.

"Qu Hong, go back where you came from."

"If not, today the Qu Family will leave no one behind—not even chickens or dogs."

These simple words, thunderous in tone and brimming with boundless killing intent, caused Qu Hong’s expression to turn exceedingly grim.

He stared at the shadow outside the window in disbelief, his eyes full of caution and contemplation.

After a brief pause, as though recalling something, his shock grew palpable.

"It’s you...???"

"How are you here?"

His voice carried unmistakable fear.

Again, the shadow’s voice rang out.

"I have always been here."

"Everything your Qu Family has done over the years, I’ve seen clearly."

"I have not acted against you all this time because I was waiting for the order from above."

"But if you harm him, then you must—die!"

After finishing, the shadow flickered and vanished.

Yet Qu Hong remained motionless, standing rooted to the spot.

At this moment, everyone held their breath, looking toward Qu Hong.

Qu Hong’s expression alternated between dark and pale, shifting constantly.

After a long while, he slowly loosened his clenched fist.

He looked at Zhou Yu, his eyes filled with chilling malice.

"Boy, consider yourself lucky."

"Today, I won’t kill you. Next time, don’t end up in Old Man’s hands again."

With that, he extended his hand toward Qu Xinyuan and Qu Hao, and with powerful Gang Jin, pulled them toward him through the air.

Upon seeing this, Nan Tangmu and the others finally relaxed their tense nerves.

Although incredulous, it seemed that Qu Hong had indeed been intimidated and was unwilling to pursue Zhou Yu further.

Yet at this critical moment, Zhou Yu threw a fist forward, interrupting Qu Hong’s motion. Qu Xinyuan and Qu Hao, suspended mid-air, let out miserable cries as they fell heavily to the ground.

Qu Hong’s face darkened.

"Boy, you’re courting death!"

Zhou Yu replied coldly:

"Their heinous crimes must face judgment under the Martial Pavilion’s law."

Everyone was stunned.

Nan Tangmu and the rest, who had just relaxed moments ago, found their nerves taut once again.

Qu Hong had barely been persuaded to back down, and Zhou Yu was now provoking him by trying to arrest Qu Xinyuan and his son right before his eyes?

This was blatant defiance!

Everyone was utterly shocked by Zhou Yu’s audacity.

As expected, Qu Hong let out a furious roar.

"Boy, do you truly think I won’t kill you?"

By now, Zhou Yu had completely calmed down.

Though he didn’t know who that shadow was, it was crystal clear the person was on his side.

Moreover, Qu Hong obviously feared that individual.

Thus, Zhou Yu felt no fear whatsoever.

He took a step forward and coldly smirked at Qu Hong.

"Do you dare?"
