Chapter 681: Chapter 681_1

Seeing that he could not even touch a corner of Su Chengyu’s clothing after several attempts, Xiang Yuesheng became increasingly furious. Given Xiang Yuesheng’s level, he was naturally aware that the grand airspace officers from various Dragon Soul branches were discreetly observing the situation. He had personally made a move, risking entering the Dragon Soul Department to kill, but had been unable to harm this young man, which was somewhat humiliating.

"He must have a positional magic treasure on him. Assist me, we must cut him down!"

Xiang Yuesheng knew that his time was running out. Once He Lian Xuan and Xue Yuqin rushed over to interfere, he would have no chance.

Xiang Yuesheng did not know beforehand that He Lian Xuan and Xue Yuqin were not in the department. His visit was to show his might and take a stance. Otherwise, it would be a loss of face. Whether he could kill Su Chengyu today was secondary.

He came today to show a stance and stabilize the prestige of the Black Dragon Commerce Association.

What he did not expect was that after making several moves, he was unable to harm Su Chengyu, and He Lian Xuan did not appear. Xiang Yuesheng was thrilled. If he could kill Su Chengyu directly, it would be the best outcome.

Breaking into the Dragon Soul Department to kill was indeed a grave crime, but Xiang Yuesheng had something to rely on. Once the person was dead, even He Lian Xuan could not do anything to him and would not turn against him over Su Chengyu.

Without the backing, Xiang Yuesheng dared not brazenly enter the Dragon Soul Department.

Su Chengyu also did not anticipate that Xiang Yuesheng would be so reckless. He thought that as long as he did not leave the Dragon Soul Department, Xiang Yuesheng would not be able to touch him. Su Chengyu had miscalculated this chess move, which forced him to use his precious Shrink Earth Talisman.

This Shrink Earth Talisman was not unlimited in use. Use it a few more times, and the Shrink Earth Talisman would self-destruct.

Talismans were not like magic artifacts. Talismans were usually consumables, while magic artifacts were different. As long as the magic artifact was not damaged, it could be used all the time.

Xiang Yuesheng called for the other two Martial Kings to make a move simultaneously. Su Chengyu muttered to himself that this was bad. The Shrink Earth Talisman could not be used many more times. The shimmer on the talisman had disappeared by half, and dealing with the other two Martial Kings, even with the Shrink Earth Talisman, he would inevitably be forced into danger.

"Dad, Brother Su Cheng is in danger. Why hasn’t the Grand Minister made a move yet?" Qin Muge anxiously asked, like an ant on a hot pan.

"The Grand Minister has gone out and is rushing back at full speed. Let’s hope that Su Chengyu can hold on for a while longer." Qin Siyuan said, frowning.

"What about the other Grand Airspace Officers? Why don’t they make a move? Are they just going to stand by and watch Xiang Yuesheng kill in the Dragon Soul Department?" Qin Muge said.

Qin Siyuan coldly snorted, "Do you expect these people to make a move? They will only stand by and watch the show. Su Cheng’s life or death has nothing to do with them. Even if Su Cheng dies, it’s beneficial to them. They can’t wait for Su Cheng to be killed."

"What should we do!" Qin Muge cried anxiously, at her wit’s end.

Upon Xiang Yuesheng’s command, the other two Witch Kings immediately took action. The three of them formed a triangular formation, trapping Su Chengyu within, forming a deadly situation.

Su Chengyu’s eyes were filled with anxiety as he secretly retrieved the God Summoning Talisman. The two talismans Yang Junmo gave him were now having to be used out of desperation in order to have a sliver of hope.

Of course, even if the God Summoning Talisman could call upon divine power, it would not be a match for the three Martial Kings of Xiang Yuesheng’s. Su Chengyu could only flee, using the God Summoning Talisman in combination with the Shrink Earth Talisman to break the three men’s blockade, and then fly away on his sword. Given the current situation, staying here would mean certain death.

Xiang Yuesheng took the initiative to make a move, his overwhelming force enveloping an area of 200 meters. The other two Martial Kings also activated their Qi, expanding the enveloped area to ensure that Su Chengyu couldn’t escape even if he had wings.

Xiang Yuesheng’s energy surged like billowing smoke. He let out a low growl, sending a punch that could utterly destroy the entire courtyard.

"Half-Step Martial Saint, so terrifying!"

Yin Huan, who was watching from a distance, changed color at the sight of Xiang Yuesheng’s full-force move. No one on the scene could resist such a force. Only He Lian Xuan, another Half-Step Martial Saint, could fight against him.

Su Chengyu channeled a little mana into the God Summoning Talisman, preparing to activate it for a full-fledged attack.

"Xiang Yuesheng, how bold of you to dare to commit murder in my Dragon Soul Department!"

Just then, He Lian Xuan’s voice echoed throughout the entire department. A massive fist imprint descended from the sky, smashing down. While it didn’t directly break the Qi field created by Xiang Yuesheng and the others, another fist imprint fell immediately after, and with a loud boom, Xiang Yuesheng’s Qi field was shattered.

He Lian Xuan and Assistant Grand Minister Xue Yuqin arrived just in time. The two of them, naturally had the upper hand over Xiang Yuesheng. After all, Xue Yuqin was also a Ninth Grade Martial King.

Su Chengyu let out a sigh of relief, put away the God Summoning Talisman and the Shrink Earth Talisman, and silently sighed, "That was close!"

With that situation just now, even with the God Summoning Talisman, he might not have been able to get away unscathed. Even if he managed to escape in the end, he would likely be heavily injured.

But with He Lian Xuan’s timely arrival, Su Chengyu knew he was no longer in danger.

Xiang Yuesheng retreated a few steps, feeling somewhat unwilling in his heart. It was a golden opportunity just now, but he failed to seize it.

Those who were secretly enjoying the show, such as Shen Zhuoyan and Yin Huan, felt regretful when they saw He Lian Xuan making his move.

"Damn, this kid’s really lucky. He didn’t die after all that!" Shen Zhuoyan cursed with a grim face.

"With such a golden opportunity, Xiang Yuesheng failed. I’m afraid it will be even harder to kill Su Cheng in the future." Yin Huan waved his hand, his face full of regret.

He had let Xiang Yuesheng into the Dragon Soul Department, and would have to take responsibility for it. He would inevitably be reprimanded by He Lian Xuan afterwards, but if Su Cheng died, it would all be worth it.

He Lian Xuan and Xue Yuqin fought shoulder to shoulder, their gaze sternly on Xiang Yuesheng, before asking, "Are you alright?"

"Thank you, Grand Minister, for your rescue. I’m fine." Su Chengyu politely responded.

"Xiang Yuesheng, are you trying to rebel? Do you think the Dragon Soul Department is a place where you can act violently?" He Lian Xuan scornfully yelled.

Xiang Yuesheng stood with his hands behind his back, saying, "Grand Minister, please calm down. This fiend slaughtered my four direct disciples mercilessly, killing innocents. As a master, I naturally have to avenge my disciples. Even if Su Chengyu holds the status of Dragon Soul Department, he doesn’t have the right to kill randomly, right?"

"Even if there is any wrongdoing by the Dragon Soul Department’s staff, the Dragon Soul Department will handle it itself. You have no right to deal with it. Besides, to my knowledge, didn’t you just lose three disciples? Your three disciples held grudges against Su Cheng, they too wished to put Su Cheng to death. Such worldly grievances of hatred and murder, if one’s ability does not match up, one’s death is due to one’s own actions. Your involvement is even more unreasonable." He Lian Xuan coldly replied.

"You’re right, Grand Minister. If it was just between the three of them, I would let it go. But last night, my eldest disciple, Deng Taihui, was brutally murdered and beheaded, with his head hanging high at the entrance of the commerce association headquarters. Such provocative and brutal behavior, shouldn’t I be involved? Since you, Grand Minister, have intervened today, let’s be straight and clear about this."

Xiang Yuesheng argued, quite obviously, even in the face of He Lian Xuan, he would not back down!
