Chapter 1553: Chapter 1554: Lin An’s Choice

Yin Mo’s expression was eerie, his odd smile sensing a hint of unease to Lin An, who continued to press him without any further response from Yin Mo.

"You should know that the only person I originally wanted to kill was Mo Ningchen."

"I know, but if Su Chengyu doesn’t die today, then I’m destined to die."

"Why?"

Lin An was completely confused, but Yin Mo simply shook his head, his face’s resolution suddenly scattering as he turned his gaze to the still unconscious Su Chengyu.

The moment Lin An sensed something was amiss, fearing Yin Mo might attempt to strike at Su Chengyu again, Yin Mo suddenly slammed his own chest with a strike.

His breath shook violently, his veins and internal organs instantaneously shattered.

"Have you gone mad?"

Lin An, failing to comprehend, uttered in disbelief at the scene before him.

Yin Mo shook his head, simply smiling lightly at Lin An: "I only hope that Your Highness will not regret today’s decision in the future..."

As the words fell, this elder of Shadow Thorn Gate’s breath ceased completely, leaving Lin An standing there stunned.

The Martial Emperor of the Yu clan, who witnessed all this, was equally rooted to the spot, completely clueless as to what had been exchanged between Yin Mo and Lin An.

However, one thing was crystal clear to this Martial Emperor: Mo Ningchen had fled, Yin Mo had died, and relying solely on his own strength, he was no match for Lin An.

The instant Lin An’s gaze fell on him, the Martial Emperor of the Yu Clan felt his hairs stand on end.

Yet the significant shock brought by Yin Mo’s actions had lessened the killing intent in Lin An, who merely spoke in a cold voice: "Aren’t you going to scram? Or do you want to die here too?"

The Martial Emperor of the Yu clan quickly weighed his options, taking a relieved breath after glancing at Su Chengyu: "This time, our Yu Clan admits defeat. Should Su Chengyu seek revenge, he may come personally."

After dropping these words, he vanished in a flash, swiftly disappearing near Qilong Court.

Lin An coldly sneered internally at this fellow who spoke his resignation so nobly but couldn’t be bothered to make a move against him anymore.

Killing such a person wouldn’t bring about any fundamental change; the conflict between the Yu clan and Su Chengyu ultimately had to be resolved by Su Chengyu himself.

After all, this involved Su Chengyu’s identity, as well as his mother.

On the other end, facing the sword-bearing man, Xu Zijing’s methods were clearly more than adequate.

If Lin An’s presence was overpowering the entire scene, Xu Zijing’s was completely at ease.

Both at the Peak of the Hollow Void, the gap between the two was visibly apparent.

The sword-bearing man’s every move seemed to be anticipated, and every time he gathered force, Xu Zijing correspondingly increased his power, continuing to suppress the sword-bearing man.

"Are you toying with me?"

"No, I just want to capture you alive."

Xu Zijing spoke truthfully; capturing a member of the Demonic Path at this level was extremely important to the present Demon Slayer Department, to the present Xia Country.

How could the sword-bearing man not understand this?

"Delusional nonsense!"

As his words fell, a desperate strike hurled towards Xu Zijing head-on.

His entire body, transformed into a rigid, strange entity, charged at Xu Zijing like an Eight-Arm Asura.

Seeing this seemingly final, desperate strike, Xu Zijing frowned for the first time, knowing that even if he could withstand it, he couldn’t let his opponent live on.

"Enough, if you so wish to die, then die," he conceded.

As he spoke, five Mysterious Thunders appeared in Xu Zijing’s hands.

Although they seemed like Thunder techniques, the Mysterious Thunders carried a completely different aura, instantly enveloping the Eight-Arm Asura entirely.

"Defy all laws, unite the four seas!"

Following Xu Zijing’s chanting, the five Mysterious Thunders struck the Eight-Arm Asura together, each attack coming from all directions as if each was a full-powered strike by a Peak of the Hollow Void-level expert.

The man holding the sword, truly witnessing Xu Zijing’s strength, then understood why the other could handle everything with such ease.

One step away!

The man before him was only one step away from becoming an Earth Immortal.

Bang!

Accompanied by a loud explosion, the body of the practitioner of the Demonic Path was blasted to pieces by the Mysterious Thunder.

Finally, the presence of the Demonic Path between heaven and earth was no more, as Lin An blinked and said, "Senior brother, you can attain Earth Immortal status now, right?"

However, Xu Zijing shook his head upon hearing this: "Not even close. I am missing one critical thing, something that you all are born with."

"Senior brother?"

Xu Zijing looked at Lin An, who was puzzled, and smiled, "It’s not something you’d understand if I told you. Don’t ask any further, it won’t help with your cultivation."

Hearing Xu Zijing say this, Lin An decided not to pursue it further and whispered to Su Chengyu who was sitting nearby, "He’s not going to be in trouble, is he?"

"Don’t worry, it’s just over-exhaustion. Connecting himself with the Dragon Vein is by no means an easy task, even though his physical condition is extraordinary compared to ordinary cultivators. It’s uncertain how long he will take to recover, but he will soon regain consciousness."

"How soon?"

Lin An asked eagerly.

Seeing this, Xu Zijing shook his head helplessly, flew next to Su Chengyu, and transferred a gentle stream of mana into Su Chengyu’s body.

As Lin An was about to speak, Xu Zijing interrupted, "Don’t worry, even if I wanted to target him, I wouldn’t make a move while you were here, it’s just healing. When he wakes up, you probably can still stay here for another quarter of an hour."

Relieved, Lin An looked at Xu Zijing and said, "Thank you, senior brother."

Xu Zijing shook his head: "No need for thanks. I know you resent me for not helping you directly, but I hope you understand that often people have no choice. It is the case for me, and the same for you."

Lin An nodded, understanding what Xu Zijing meant.

Xu Zijing accompanying her must also be their master Ji Yuguang’s intention.

According to Ji Yuguang, even if Lin An were present, as long as there were no practitioners from the Demonic Path or the Nether Clan or other Foreign Clans, and it was just a common grudge, Lin An must absolutely not intervene.

Even then, Xu Zijing could only assist Lin An against those from the Demonic Path.

To put it plainly, Xu Zijing’s presence here was more about supervision.

"Then senior brother, by helping Su Chengyu heal, you won’t be blamed by our master, right?"

"If the master didn’t say ’don’t,’ then it’s allowed. I have my own measures when I do things, and that’s why the master has more confidence in me."

Lin An blinked suddenly and blurted out, "What about the Emperor Father then?"

This sudden question left Xu Zijing standing still, completely at a loss for words.

Just as the atmosphere began to stiffen, Su Chengyu’s cough broke the silence.

Accompanied by intense coughing, a mouthful of clotted blood spurted from his chest, as Su Chengyu’s consciousness slowly returned.
