Chapter 1097: Chapter 1097: Martial Path to Enlightenment

"What are you talking about!"

Shinazugawa Sanemi frowned in displeasure as he spoke.

Su Chengyu explained with a smile, "A simple mind indeed makes it easy for others to discern one’s thoughts, but you are different. While you don’t want others to know, every time I make a guess, your reactions confirm my answers. If that’s not foolish, what is?"

By contrast, Chen Mengmeng is much smarter. His simplicity made him understand that many people could guess his thoughts, so when faced with others’ suspicions, Chen Mengmeng always chose to keep his mouth shut, observing with his eyes and contemplating in his heart. That is the wise approach.

Whether or not I guess correctly, as long as I don’t say anything, a guess will always just be a guess.

And Shinazugawa Sanemi was just giving it away for free.

Su Chengyu could not understand how such a person could become a high-ranking ninja.

The folks from Xia Country, with Nascent Soul Realm abilities, are each more cunning than the last, whereas Dongying...

Whether it is Shinazugawa’s disciple or Shinazugawa herself, both had deeply disappointed Su Chengyu.

Shinazugawa...

Suddenly thinking of something, Su Chengyu looked up at Shinazugawa with a somewhat pitiful gaze.

Sensing Su Chengyu’s strange look, Shinazugawa Sanemi furrowed his brows and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing, just that perhaps you are also pitiable people."

The Koka Clan, in the end, were just pawns. Su Chengyu found it hard not to think that Shinazugawa’s near foolish simplicity had been deliberately nurtured by the Dawn Harbor Emperor. After all, simple-minded people are the easiest to control.

Feeling uncomfortable, as though Su Chengyu was looking down on him, Shinazugawa Sanemi was just about to press for answers when suddenly, an odd aura emanated from nearby.

Shinazugawa Sanemi instinctively dodged and a Palm thunder struck directly towards Su Chengyu’s face.

Su Chengyu’s expression tightened as he caught the stealthy lightning strike in his hand. A tingling sensation spread throughout his body, but this genuine Nascent Soul level attack was staunchly blocked by Su Chengyu with his physical body.

"What a formidable physique. Are there really cultivators in Xia Country with such physical prowess?"

A gentle voice came from the sky, the words so androgynous that one could not distinguish the speaker’s gender.

"An Onmyoji?"

Su Chengyu immediately recognized the man’s identity. Wearing hunter clothes and a tall hat, this distinctive attire, just like that of a Witch, could allow one to confirm his identity at a glance.

Standing behind Su Chengyu, Shinazugawa Sanemi glanced at the newcomer in surprise and said, "This guy is wearing the hunter outfit of the Yi Jing Guild, he is one of the Onmyoji from the Four Major Guilds. How did you offend such a figure?"

In Dongying, there are three major Shrines and Four Major Guilds—the former affiliated with Witches, and the latter a gathering place for Onmyoji.

Although they are not as closely related to the Royal Family as the Koka Clan, these few organizations do have intricate connections with the Dongying Royal Family.

Shinazugawa Sanemi didn’t understand how Su Chengyu could have provoked these people, and the next words from the Onmyoji were even more surprising to Shinazugawa Sanemi.

"Are you one of the Demon Hunting Office of Xia Nation?"

Hearing the Onmyoji’s query directed at Su Chengyu, Shinazugawa Sanemi turned his head in disbelief toward Su Chengyu.

She had not ruled out the possibility that Su Chengyu was a Xia Citizen, but she had indeed never considered that he might be from the Demon Slayer Department.

The relationship between Dongying and Xia Country was already extremely poor, and over the past century, many of the conflicts between the two countries have involved the shadow of the Demon Slayer Department, especially due to their widely differing treatments toward the Demon Clan.

Moreover, the Demon Hunting Office of Xia Nation coming to Dongying would certainly not be for sightseeing.

"I indeed come from Xia Country, but whether I am from the Demon Slayer Department or not, why should I tell you?"

After his experiences in Liuli Country, Su Chengyu understood that the identity of the Demon Slayer Department wasn’t omnipotent.

In Liuli Country, it could still bring about deadly trouble; naturally, it would be the same in Dongying.

However, listening to Su Chengyu’s words, the Onmyoji merely smiled faintly, "Sharp-tongued Xia lad, do you think that denying it will make everything fine? Once you fall into my hands, I will naturally have ways to find out your identity."

The androgynous Onmyoji suddenly produced a fan in hand and, with a wave through the air, a horde of ghosts made of condensed demon qi rushed towards Su Chengyu.

"Seventh Grade Great Yin Yang Master?"

Having been exposed to Onmyojis since childhood, Shinazugawa Qianying recognized the person’s strength with just one strike.

This strike’s momentum was clearly not something that the trial Palm thunder could be compared to. Shinazugawa Qianying turned her head to warn Su Chengyu, but Su Chengyu’s figure was nowhere to be seen beside her.

Escaped?

No! That’s not right!

The next moment, Shinazugawa Qianying reacted sharply, turned her head towards the Onmyoji’s location and noticed that Su Chengyu had already breached the ghosts’ defense line and appeared right behind the Onmyoji.

"How is this possible!"

Startled, the Onmyoji looked up just as he wanted to make a move, but Su Chengyu landed a heavy punch on the Onmyoji’s back.

The massive Fist Qi effortlessly tore through the protective barrier around the Onmyoji’s body and slammed hard into his spine!

Pfft!

Blood spurted from his mouth, and the Onmyoji looked at Su Chengyu in disbelief.

"You’re a martial artist?"

Whether it was the tough body from before, or the Fist Qi that burst forth from this punch, none of them seemed like the methods of a cultivator.

Su Chengyu chuckled lightly, "Why so hasty? Didn’t you say that once I fell into your hands, you would know everything?"

The Onmyoji’s expression was odd as he looked at Su Chengyu, who had retorted with his own words, and shouted angrily, "Even if you are the Martial Emperor, what of it? Your cheap tricks aren’t worthy of showing off in front of me!"

Su Chengyu’s brows furrowed slightly, clearly discontented with that remark.

He dismissed the idea of using the Wasteland Sky Halberd, remaining suspended in mid-air and assuming a boxing stance, ready for the Onmyoji’s next attack.

The fan in his hands danced wildly, and behind him appeared four beasts of different shapes, each one hinting at the essence of the Four Symbols.

But if Bai Qiu and Ao Tian were here, Su Chengyu was sure they would only want to beat this Onmyoji to death.

By now, Su Chengyu was completely certain—the Onmyoji’s techniques were all mixed with demon arts!

"Four Symbols Exorcism!"

As the Onmyoji’s voice fell, four phantasmal beasts were already rushing towards Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu, sensing the strike coming at him, took a deep breath, and his hands slowly began to move. Observing Su Chengyu’s movements, which were as slow as a tortoise, the Onmyoji sneered coldly.

At such a speed, by the time the full force of the punch arrived, you’d probably be dead by my hand already.

However, just as he thought this, Su Chengyu, who had his eyes closed the entire time, suddenly opened them.

Blue pupils shone like two bright lamps in the dark night, followed by an immensely large Descending Tiger!

A single tiger crashed into the four beasts!

In disbelief, the Onmyoji watched as the four phantom beasts he had fully materialized were shattered upon contact with the Descending Tiger made of Fist Qi!

Looking at the nearly solid tiger charging right in front of him, the Onmyoji instinctively retreated, then staggered and fell to the ground.

And Su Chengyu was already in front of him, looking down with indifference and saying,

"Martial Way can prove enlightenment. Can you Onmyojis claim the same? You even dare to say Martial Way amounts to cheap tricks? Compared to Martial Way, the arts of an Onmyoji might not even count as a sidetrack or left-hand path!"
