Chapter 1059: Chapter 1059: The Next Prodigy

Atop Laisong Island, the pitch-black tribulation clouds obscured the sun, enveloping the entire island with their ominous vastness; their presence was even more alarming than the thunder from Su Chengyu’s tribulation before.

Yet facing such a thunderous threat, not a hint of fear showed in Yu Yanshu’s eyes. She didn’t try to forcefully resist and delay the arrival of the tribulation. On the contrary, she was absorbing more spiritual energy from heaven and earth, seemingly hastening the formation of the tribulation!

In her confrontation with Jin Xin, Yu Yanshu was acutely aware of the vast gap between them.

The only reason she hadn’t fallen was that his goal, from start to finish, was not to kill her.

And from the moment she went against Su Chengyu’s warning and removed the restrictions, Yu Yanshu had already resigned herself to death.

Now, she just wanted to kill Jin Xin, to prevent any further unexpected incidents.

Suddenly, Yu Yanshu let the long sleeves fly out of her hands, transforming into a skyful of sword shadows striking directly at Jin Xin.

Sensing Yu Yanshu’s intention, Jin Xin withdrew swiftly without hesitation, creating a distance between them before sneering.

"Trying to exchange life for life? Do you think I’m an idiot?"

With a cold laugh, Jin Xin could tell that Yu Yanshu was completely spent when her tribulation arrived; he certainly wouldn’t choose to risk his life against such an opponent.

However, just as Jin Xin retreated several tens of meters, a thunderous boom sounded right next to him!

"Heavenly Qi-breaking Five Thunder Technique!"

Without any warning that this thunder technique was mixed among the tribulation clouds, Jin Xin was directly hit by the sudden strike. The brutal lightning pierced through his body, exploding at the site of his Golden Core!

With the Golden Core shattered, his life was severed instantaneously.

Until the moment of his death, Jin Xin couldn’t comprehend who had struck him.

Recognizing the familiar thunder technique, Yu Yanshu looked towards the distance in surprise and indeed saw Su Chengyu, who had rushed over; only then did the tension in her heart begin to ease slightly.

Before Yu Yanshu could speak, Su Chengyu immediately said.

"Yan’er! Suppress the area!"

However, Yu Yanshu slowly shook her head, her face revealing bitterness as she responded, "It’s too late now, the tribulation can’t be stopped anymore. I’m sorry, Master, I haven’t done well enough and have let you down. Please let me atone with my death."

Facing Jin Xin, Yu Yanshu had already exhausted much of her mana, and what was more crucial was that the power of this tribulation had far exceeded her expectations.

To survive this sky-full of thunder clouds was one thing; to even block one tribulation thunderbolt seemed immensely difficult for Yu Yanshu.

"What nonsense are you talking about! You acted without permission and broke the prohibition, and I have not yet punished you! Why should this tribulation punish you? You must live for your master!"

Su Chengyu spoke with agitation, not caring for anything else, and immediately tossed the True Dragon Armor to Yu Yanshu.

Just as Yu Yanshu was about to speak, Su Chengyu sternly said, "As your master, I forbid you to die!"

Su Chengyu rummaged through the Cui Xia Ring, trying to find anything that could help Yu Yanshu survive the tribulation.

However, most of the things were either unusable by Yu Yanshu or of too low quality to be of any use.

Just as Su Chengyu was about to despair, something caught his eye, and he immediately threw a Golden Gourd to Yu Yanshu without hesitation.

This object was the top-quality Spiritual Artifact Zhu Xie had used to defend against his Heavenly Qi-breaking Five Thunder Technique before!

This magic artifact had average effects against other attacks, but its defensive capability against thunder techniques was incredibly strong, almost on par with a Divine Artifact when used in a tribulation.

"Master, if you give me all your items, what will you do?"

Yu Yanshu knew that the condition of the Heaven-Mending Stone was also at its last gasp, and without these magic artifacts to protect her body, Su Chengyu and others would be even more in danger.

"Does your master need you to worry? Guard your mind and spirit, rid yourself of idle thoughts, and give your all in overcoming the tribulation! Before I have settled scores with you, I absolutely won’t come to any harm!"

Su Chengyu spoke without hesitation—if the Wasteland Sky Halberd couldn’t be used by him, he would have even preferred to give it to Yu Yanshu to use for her tribulation.

Hearing Su Chengyu’s earnest tone, the resolve to die finally completely dissipated from Yu Yanshu’s eyes. She took a deep breath and looked up at the sky.

"Come then, heavenly tribulation! No matter how strong you are, I will surely surpass you!"

This was the first time in her life that Yu Yanshu had such a strong desire to live.

Having been treated as a monster since childhood, Yu Yanshu had more than once thought of ending it all. Because of this, she was very indifferent to many things—how could someone who didn’t care much for their own life care for other matters?

After meeting Su Chengyu, Yu Yanshu had changed a lot, but it was only this time that she truly harbored the thought that she must survive.

She wanted to live; she wanted to continue staying by Su Chengyu’s side.

And the tribulation clouds in the sky, as if sensing Yu Yanshu’s intent, grew in power once more.

However, this time, Yu Yanshu showed no fear and actively moved toward the tribulation clouds to meet them head-on!

Seeing Yu Yanshu finally start the tribulation, Su Chengyu let out a sigh of relief.

Yet before he could catch his breath, a deep voice rang out beside Su Chengyu.

"What a deep bond between master and apprentice. No wonder Princess Lin An took a fancy to someone like you, you do have quite some spirit."

Su Chengyu turned his head towards the man in the black robe and questioned, "The Long family sent you to kill me in secret, defying the royal family. Aren’t you worried about the consequences?"

The man in the black robe wasn’t surprised that Su Chengyu had guessed his identity.

In fact, if Su Chengyu were to die here, anyone would be able to guess that the Long family was involved. But if there were no witnesses to the crime, then all would be easy to handle.

"If possible, I indeed wouldn’t want to take action personally. But Zhu Xie thinks too highly of himself, and Hua Yingrong is useless. That’s why I had to do this myself."

Even in a foreign land, if he actively made a move against Su Chengyu, those with intentions would undoubtedly trace it back to the Long family.

But even so, Su Chengyu must die—that was the Long family’s current attitude towards him.

"The Ninth Level of Nascent Soul Realm, the Long family really holds me in high regard," Su Chengyu scoffed.

The Long family, located in the Capital City and closely affiliated with the royal family, made sure all those in the Hollow Realm reported their whereabouts to Xia Country. Thus, only those below the Hollow Realm could possibly travel thousands of miles from Xia Country to secretly assassinate Su Chengyu.

And Su Chengyu had no doubt that the person before him was the strongest Nascent Soul Realm stronghold of the Long family.

"In Kunwu Realm, you’ve indeed made a name for yourself by defeating an Eighth Grade Demon Emperor, and with so many rare treasures in your possession, you deserve such regard," said the man in the black robe, his praise for Su Chengyu seemingly generous, but in fact, he was still very restrained.

Within the Long family, many already regarded Su Chengyu as a talent on the same level as Long Xuan.

After all, if Su Chengyu were to grow and even become Xia Country’s Prince Consort, it would be an absolute disaster for the entire Long family.

The man in the black robe always remembered the serious expression on Longzhan’s face when he left the capital, and his last words to him.

"Even if it completely exposes our intentions, we absolutely cannot let this young man return to the Capital City and become the next prodigy!"
