Chapter 1546: Chapter 1547: One Breaks Three

The swordsman beneath the bamboo hat had barely finished speaking when Su Chengyu appeared within the sight of the three of them.

His figure still bore traces of dishevelment; the marks left by Xiao Yuanfeng on him did not vanish that easily. It was clear to the discerning eye that Su Chengyu was not in his prime state, having already endured a bitter battle.

"It seems the Saint Envoy Tian Heng appears a bit disheveled."

The one who spoke was a masked figure clad in black, his garb clearly not a common item, expertly concealing his aura.

Even so, Su Chengyu still sensed a familiar presence from the man in black; compared to the other two, he was certain that he had had contact with this person prior to tonight.

Then, his gaze shifted to Du Nie and the swordsman with the bamboo hat, and without making any judgment about their identities, Su Chengyu softly said, "Having friends come from afar should be a delight, but it seems I am unable to extend a proper welcome at this time."

"How could that be? Your willingness to receive us in the courtyard has already given this old man a much higher opinion of you,"

Speaking proactively was Du Nie. Before the encirclement unfolded, he had always assumed that Su Chengyu, who must have perceived their intentions, would choose to flee. Even though the man in black had given assurances, he didn’t believe that Su Chengyu would wait for death on the spot.

After all, a dead end is a dead end, and Du Nie truly saw not one glimmer of hope for Su Chengyu’s survival.

To flee meant a chance to live; to stay meant certain death.

"I actually did want to leave, but these two had no intentions of letting me out of the Capital City."

Su Chengyu’s gaze locked onto the man in black and the swordsman, his words enough to indicate that Du Nie was just an outsider dragged into the situation, who might have had reasons wanting Su Chengyu dead.

But he was definitely not the organizer of this ambush. The remaining two—one controlling alliances while the other sealing off escape routes—had set this inevitable trap for him.

"Which of you two comes from the Demon Slayer Department, and which is associated with the Demonic Path?"

Su Chengyu’s outspoken question left Du Nie somewhat taken aback. He glanced sideways at the other two, then quickly pretended as if he hadn’t heard the question and shifted his gaze away.

His hypocritical appearance made Su Chengyu feel slightly nauseated; in contrast, the two being questioned by Su Chengyu appeared much more composed. The man in black chuckled lightly and said evenly, "Saint Envoy Tian Heng, baseless accusations should not be made lightly. Let’s not mention the Demon Slayer Department for now, but the people moving against you this time do not possess any Techniques of Demonic Path."

"No Techniques of Demonic Path means they are not from the Demonic Path?"

"Otherwise?"

Su Chengyu looked at the opponent’s rogue-like tactics and nodded, "That’s also true, without any evidence, I might as well be your father."

The man in black’s eyes narrowed at Su Chengyu’s retort: "Saint Envoy, surely you don’t believe such childish provocations would have the slightest effect?"

"Why wouldn’t they? I can’t say about others, but you, Mo Ningchen, would be concerned, wouldn’t you?"

In an instant, Mo Ningchen’s composure wavered dramatically, but he quickly reined in his aura again. Sensing the looks from Du Nie and the sword-wielding man beside him, Mo Ningchen took a deep breath and said.

"Su Chengyu, are you truly intending to irreparably rupture our relationship? It’s not me who has cut off your retreat; the one who wants you dead this time is not me either!"

Su Chengyu, looking at the no longer pretentious Mo Ningchen, stated unequivocally, "Are you implying, Qian Jun Emissary, that you are coerced, that it is a last resort for you to join these people against me?"

Mo Ningchen’s expression turned grim as he said, "I’ve had quite a few grievances with you, but indeed, I was also ordered to come this time."

"If you’re going to be a whore, don’t bother setting up a shrine for yourself, alright? Reporting to the Demon Slayer Department about your close relationship with Queen Irina was also a last resort? Or are you going to say it was You Ming who brought this matter to the Demon Slayer Department?"

Only Mo Ningchen and You Ming were aware of Su Chengyu’s special treatment by Queen Irina, and Su Chengyu was now very clear about You Ming’s character.

Apart from the affairs of the Nether Clan, he isolated himself as much as possible from any matters in Capital City with his indifferent personality.

Whether You Ming’s actions were to protect himself or due to sheer indifference to everything else, it was enough to prove that You Ming was definitely not the person who leaked information from behind the scenes.

The moment Su Chengyu was accused by the Demon Slayer Department, he knew Mo Ningchen had already started making his moves against him in the shadows.

"It seems you’re not planning to let me go?"

"The one not planning to let go is you."

Su Chengyu spoke calmly, looking at Mo Ningchen: "I’m quite curious, what exactly did Yang Qianyan tell you to make you, a smooth operator, stand completely on my opposing side."

Mo Ningchen chuckled lightly: "You’re so smart, why don’t you go and ask him yourself?"

"I will, after I’ve dealt with you guys."

With the final word dropped, Su Chengyu’s Dragon Slayer Sword instantly appeared in his hand, directly lunging towards Mo Ningchen.

In terms of personal strength, Su Chengyu was now on par with Mo Ningchen, who was but a step away from reaching the Martial God level.

Although Mo Ningchen couldn’t be compared with geniuses like Long Xuan, being able to become a Demon Slayer Bureau Emissary signified he was one in a million, and killing beyond his level was no difficult feat for him.

But with the power of Dragon Vein, Su Chengyu now stood within the rank of Hollow Vacuum Pseudo Realm, the huge gap between them was no longer something that skills and tactics could bridge.

Facing the aggressive Su Chengyu, Mo Ningchen didn’t dare to be careless and immediately said: "Du Nie, support me with all your strength!"

"Sky-burning Palm!"

Flames suddenly erupted in Du Nie’s hands, his figure enlarging by more than double, a palm strike heading straight towards Su Chengyu, covering half of Su Chengyu’s body.

Sensing the strike from the Martial God, Su Chengyu did not take it to heart; he turned around and with a sword strike, he redirected seven-tenths of the incoming force, with the Sword Momentum continuing to pressure Mo Ningchen.

With a furrowed brow, Mo Ningchen finally understood why Su Chengyu could survive Xiao Yuanfeng’s hands, as he concentrated all his True Qi into his body, War Qi transformation met Su Chengyu’s Sword Momentum head-on with the force of a thousand weights!

Bang!

A massive impact sound rose, and Mo Ningchen’s body flew away like a cannonball.

Even with Du Nie’s assistance on the side, facing Su Chengyu’s formidable Sword Momentum, Mo Ningchen had no capability to confront him head-on.

This strike not only sent Mo Ningchen flying out directly but also injured him internally, causing his Inner Breath to become chaotic.

Only at this moment did Mo Ningchen truly sense the gap between himself and Su Chengyu, and for the first time, the thought to retreat emerged in his heart.

However, at that moment, the cold voice of the sword-bearing man echoed nearby.

"Is this the Demon Slayer Bureau Emissary? Truly disappointing."

The sword-bearing man, who understood he had no choice but to intervene, locked his gaze on Su Chengyu.

Demonic Qi surged forth.
