Chapter 1607: Chapter 1608: Between Gain and Loss

"Trying to leave?"

After realizing Su Chengyu’s true intent, Luo Zongyuan couldn’t care less and closed in for a direct engagement, entangling himself in battle with Su Chengyu.

Such a tactic indeed gave Su Chengyu more opportunities, but similarly, it forced Su Chengyu to be unable to free himself and flee directly.

The powerful punches, heavy and thunderous with each strike forced Su Chengyu to respond with all his might, not leaving him a single moment to catch his breath, lest Su Chengyu took this chance to escape from the attic.

"With such methods, Elder Luo Zongyuan, are you not afraid that I’ll throw caution to the wind?"

After dodging a punch, Su Chengyu struggled to counter with Dragon Slayer Sword in hand, but it immediately clashed with Luo Zongyuan’s other hand.

The awareness of each other’s realm allowed Luo Zongyuan to completely predict every move of Su Chengyu, leaving him at a complete disadvantage. The verbal assault did not waver Luo Zongyuan in the slightest, his resolved punches showed no hesitation.

"Then die, for the Luo Clan, one more death is not too many."

"But not too few either, right?"

Su Chengyu parried with great difficulty and pushed Luo Zongyuan back half a step, fully aware that this small distance was far from enough to support his escape. Did Su Chengyu then seize the moment, turning defence into attack?

"For all the lives sacrificed by the Luo Clan over thousands of years without the legacy of the Martial God Bloodline, the ordinary people of Luoshui Village, those so-called chosen Saintesses of the Luo Clan, and ordinary people of the Luo Clan who were treated as sacrifices for the so-called collective interest – is it just for the so-called talent? For a fleeting lifespan, is it worth it?"

"Is it worth it?"

Luo Zongyuan scoffed, his fist clashing with Dragon Slayer Sword. Both figures retreated a step back, with that single blow, Luo Zongyuan had utterly seized the initiative Su Chengyu had barely gained, placing them back at the same starting line.

"For the expansion of our Luo Clan, for the blood of the Martial God to flow through our clan members, nothing is not worth it!"

"Even if it’s your own son, your own daughter as well?"

Su Chengyu asked, his eyes darkening.

"Naturally."

Clang!

Sparks flew as Dragon Slayer clashed with Luo Zongyuan’s knuckles, with the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth violently trembling.

Behind Luo Zongyuan, a giant blue water snake took form, while behind Su Chengyu, a vague golden dragon appeared.

Locked in a standoff, Luo Zongyuan, witnessing the close proximity of Su Chengyu, frowned slightly, well aware of Su Chengyu’s formidable strength.

After all, killing beyond one’s realm has always been a criterion for identifying genius, and Su Chengyu himself has achieved such a feat. But Luo Zongyuan couldn’t understand why this person before him seemed to be growing ever stronger in battle.

No, it wasn’t that he grew stronger during the fight.

It was his murderous intent that had intensified.

Luo Zongyuan could understand that Su Chengyu’s initial probing was to cover for others to destroy the attic’s formation; after he had answered that question, it became clear to him that Su Chengyu’s sword strikes had changed.

"You’ve been testing me from the start, haven’t you?"

Seeing Luo Zongyuan finally catching on, Su Chengyu who had almost completely achieved his goal, no longer planned to hide, calmly stating.

"One last question, where exactly is Nan Zhi?"

Luo Zongyuan sneered: "You think I would tell you?"

"You will."

Su Chengyu spoke, followed by a flash of golden light in his eyes, his aura transforming 180 degrees in a split second.

Luo Zongyuan’s eyebrows tightened as he observed Su Chengyu’s state, but he still said, "So you do have the ability to confront an enemy head-on with Hollow Vacuum, but even so, you wouldn’t be my match."

"Maybe, but if we don’t speak, you’re truly going to die."

The moment Su Chengyu finished speaking, a multicolored Sword Qi burst forth from the ground without any warning, tightening Luo Zongyuan’s brows. As he focused on the ground beneath him, Su Chengyu’s figure had already appeared before him.

"He Ming!"

The joint technique between the True Dragon Treasure Technique and the God Phoenix Treasure Technique was still Su Chengyu’s strongest method, even when not invoking the Immortal Decapitating and Dragon Slayer swords.

Of course, facing a Sixth Grade Martial Emperor of Luo Zongyuan’s caliber, it was clear that Su Chengyu couldn’t rely on this technique to make an impact.

Su Chengyu’s sword strike now was just a diversion; the true killing move was still the Heaven-Mending Stone, now capable of independently withstanding a Martial Emperor.

Caught in a pincer attack, Luo Zongyuan made a swiftly judgment. In an instant turn, his fists collided directly with the two great treasure techniques.

As treasure techniques were already the highest level of techniques in the mortal world, and having visited the Kunwu Realm, he knew all too well the extent of the threat posed by these two techniques.

However, right after dispersing Su Chengyu’s upfront assault, Luo Zongyuan quickly noticed something was amiss.

The Sword Qi racing along the ground effortlessly tore through his own condensed True Qi, the azure serpent that had taken shape behind him was instantly penetrated by the Sword Qi, advancing towards Luo Zongyuan as if unhindered.

How could this be?

Luo Zongyuan was shocked, unable to believe the power of the strike from the Heaven-Mending Stone, and in his frantic attempt to compensate, the Sword Qi had already reached his face.

Luo Zongyuan instinctively threw a punch to block, but the Sword Qi, wrapped in Su Chengyu’s True Qi, broke through the barrier of True Qi in a flash, thoroughly piercing Luo Zongyuan’s arm!

His entire right arm was instantly rendered useless, and Luo Zongyuan, incredulous, looked at the scene before him. His gaze shifted downward, trying to locate the culprit of it all, but found no sign of life beneath the ground.

"Who in the world lurks beneath the ground so sneakily!"

Luo Zongyuan bellowed in anger.

Having arrived behind Luo Zongyuan, Su Chengyu calmly asked, "Can you answer my question now?"

Luo Zongyuan turned to look at Su Chengyu, who appeared even more disheveled than himself, his eyebrows tightly knitted, "Even if I’m no match for you all, killing me won’t be a matter of a moment or two, after that..."

"After that, members of the Elder Council will arrive, and I won’t be able to escape from here."

Anticipating what the other was about to say, Su Chengyu intercepted the words and then, with a cold sneer, looked at Luo Zongyuan, "That’s right, whether I can escape is one thing, but whether you will die is another. If you want to trade your life for my capture, then I accept."

"Have you gone mad?"

Luo Zongyuan exclaimed in astonishment, completely unprepared for Su Chengyu’s mania.

"If you die here, everything you desire will turn to naught..."

"I know."

Unmoved, Su Chengyu spoke calmly, yet with a sneer he continued.

"But I’m sure you definitely won’t make this losing deal, after all, to someone who regards his own flesh and blood, his son and daughter, as nothing—what could be more precious than his own life? Isn’t that right, Elder Zongyuan?"
