Chapter 1221: Chapter 1221: The Storm Has Arrived

As soon as Su Chengyu’s voice dropped, a flash of sword light passed by, knocking away the Long Knife that was attacking Zhuang Yihan.

Zhuang Yihan finally snapped back to reality, relieved when he saw the sword light instantly return to Su Chengyu and disappear without a trace, "Thanks."

Su Chengyu made his way to Zhuang Yihan’s side and shook his head, cautioning in a low voice, "It’s nothing. Be careful, one of them is a Nascent Soul Cultivator and the other is at the Martial Emperor Realm."

Zhuang Yihan nodded his agreement. Although he had not yet located the assailants, the fact that he hadn’t noticed them made Zhuang Yihan even more certain that their strength was undoubtedly above his own.

Nascent Soul-level powerhouses, and two of them at once, moreover, this cautious and careful ambush was definitely not a chance encounter, but deliberately targeted at them.

Or to be precise, it was targeted at Su Chengyu.

The Dragon Soul Department had quite a few enemies in Xia Country, but very few would brazenly attack the Dragon Soul Eighteen Guards, and such an act couldn’t really harm the foundation of the Dragon Soul Department. Even if Zhuang Yihan really died here, what of it?

If the mastermind behind the attack was found out, it would surely be a fruitless endeavor.

Although they did not say it aloud, both were aware that these attackers were most likely targeting Su Chengyu.

They wanted to eliminate Su Chengyu completely before he could enter the Capital City.

"The Long family?"

As soon as the Long family was mentioned, Su Chengyu immediately understood the implication and shook his head, "Don’t know."

Zhuang Yihan glanced at Su Chengyu, "You certainly have a lot of enemies."

"A tall tree catches the wind; I do have quite a few enemies from all sides in Xia Country now," Su Chengyu replied.

"So that’s why you decided to come directly to the Capital City?"

The Capital City was both a risk and an opportunity. If Su Chengyu couldn’t get through this ordeal, he was destined to have no place in Xia Country thereafter. However, if he managed to get through it and secure a foothold in the Capital City, many who had been eyeing Su Chengyu would have to reconsider his backing.

Even if there were still people who wanted to move against Su Chengyu, they would definitely not dare to be so blatant about it.

"You two seem to be in the mood for a casual chat," came a sharp voice from all directions, the speaker clearly elevating their tone by several degrees in an attempt to disguise their identity.

Hearing this voice that was trying to hide yet reveal itself, Su Chengyu chuckled and responded, "What else can we do? Since the two hidden experts have concealed themselves so well, and we can’t find your whereabouts, we can only chat to pass the time."

"Why aren’t they making their move?"

Zhuang Yihan’s question was transmitted to Su Chengyu’s ear in a concentrated whisper, to which Su Chengyu replied openly, "What else could it be? They are afraid."

"The old man afraid of you?" the voice retorted.

Bait clumsily cast, yet Su Chengyu easily hooked the speaker. Zhuang Yihan sensed a slight movement from that direction and was about to respond, but Su Chengyu pressed him down.

As Zhuang Yihan looked puzzled, another breath came from beneath their feet. It seemed that the provocatively blatant response was not entirely reckless.

One person deliberately exposed their presence while the other concealed the real deadly intent and launched an attack. It was a pity that such minor moves held no concealment whatsoever in front of Su Chengyu at this moment.

"True Dragon Technique!"

The True Dragon, spreading azure-purple flames, opened its gaping mouth and charged directly at the Martial Emperor ambushing from below, swallowing the attacker’s figure in an instant, while a thunderous roar also exploded in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

Following the roar of thunder, the Heavenly Qi-breaking Five Thunder Technique was unleashed, and the imposing thunder technique struck the elderly cultivator, instantly halting his movements.

A flicker of murderous intent passed through Su Chengyu’s eyes. Zhuang Yihan sensed it and made his move first, dashing forward with a clone and delivering a fierce and incredibly swift punch that blasted directly into the opponent’s body.

Bang!

As True Qi dissipated, the punch hit the opponent’s Nascent Soul directly. The savage True Qi flooded into his body and instantly tore apart the Nascent Soul, definitively severing the life force of the Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Watching this, Su Chengyu was somewhat surprised, although Zhuang Yihan had taken advantage of his grievous injury to the opponent before acting.

The strength of the Nascent Soul Cultivator was indeed only at the early stage of Nascent Soul, but such a swift and decisive move to completely destroy the Nascent Soul was not something an ordinary Martial Arts Supreme could accomplish.

He really was borne of the Dragon Soul Eighteen Guards; facing the average Martial Emperor and Nascent Soul Cultivators, Zhuang Yihan’s strength would likely leave him unbeaten.

And this sudden action didn’t seem like it was done merely to steal credit...

As Su Chengyu thought this, his gaze fell below to the Martial Emperor who had been hit by the True Dragon Technique. Seeing his comrade fall, he didn’t hesitate to turn tail and flee. Having never approached the two, his figure quickly vanished from their sight, his presence completely erased, leaving no trace behind.

Zhuang Yihan, who couldn’t find the opponent’s presence, returned to Su Chengyu’s side. After hesitating for a moment, he still spoke, "Su Chengyu, did you deliberately let him go?"

Su Chengyu blinked and said, "Just now I was already taking on two at once. Letting one person escape doesn’t seem excessive, does it?"

Although Zhuang Yihan had acted in the end, he also knew that it was merely the icing on the cake. Even if he had not attacked at that moment, the opponent was already on his last legs, and the chance of escape was slim.

Additionally, he was almost certain that Su Chengyu had held back.

Was it to avoid revealing his strength, or was there another reason?

Zhuang Yihan, having come from the Dragon Soul Department, instinctively began to speculate. Su Chengyu chuckled and said, "Brother Zhuang, don’t overthink it. I could have stopped him, but I wouldn’t say it was on purpose. It was just going with the flow."

The opponent had indeed taken the bait, but whether it was the strategy of feinting to the east and attacking the west, or the manner of the attack, Su Chengyu had kept plenty of contingencies.

Su Chengyu indeed had the strength to kill them both, but doing so would have required the use of the Dragon Slayer Sword, or even the Wasteland Sky Halberd.

Having to reveal so much was too risky; hence, Su Chengyu opted to go with the flow, defeating both opponents while concealing his true power as much as possible, letting the survivor carry the news back, to lull the enemy into misjudging his strength.

Regardless of whether they were after the Wasteland Sky Halberd for murder and looting, the Long family was testing his strength, or the Zhao Family genuinely wanted him dead, the current outcome was acceptable to Su Chengyu.

"Even so, you still used the Dragon Slayer Sword to save that guy,"

Heaven-Mending Stone spoke inside Su Chengyu’s mind grumpily, but Su Chengyu didn’t mind.

Glancing at Zhuang Yihan, he softly said to Heaven-Mending Stone, "Letting them go was a choice of priorities, but saving a life is never about choosing. Saving one person is saving, saving a thousand is also saving. Since he was worth saving, it was worth taking the risk."

Heaven-Mending Stone, listening to Su Chengyu’s words, harrumphed, "If the Immortal World were filled with goody-two-shoes like you, the world would truly be at peace."

"I’ll work hard on that,"

Su Chengyu replied nonchalantly to Heaven-Mending Stone’s obvious sarcasm and turned his head toward the Capital City, which was faintly visible.

The storm was approaching even before entering the capital.
