Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 864: Chapter 863: Chen Family’s Terrestrial Immortal

The elderly man’s complexion was one of panic, for the strength that Su Yang had displayed was simply too overpowering.

However, he was still gritting his teeth and said word by word, ”You have no right!”

”Is it because your Chen Family has a Terrestrial Immortal that you dare to speak to me so boldly?” Su Yang sneered, ”Unfortunately, your Chen Family’s Terrestrial Immortal has yet to show up. Do you think he will come to save you?”

The old man had not expected Su Yang to guess the situation of his family. Clenching his teeth, he said in a deep voice, ”Mr. Su, there’s no need to intimidate me. No matter how strong you are, you are definitely not a match for a Terrestrial Immortal. Try touching me and see, the Terrestrial Immortal of our Chen Family will never let you off!”

”Are you provoking me?” Su Yang said with a faint smile.

”I simply look down on you; you’re nothing but a jumping clown. Without the support of Ye Jiansheng and Lian Wanxiong, what are you worth!” the old man shouted angrily.

”It seems you really are seeking death. Since that’s the case, I will fulfill your wish!” Su Yang raised his head and shouted coldly, ”Old man of the Chen Family, if you don’t come out now, this junior of yours is really going to die!”

There was no response, and Su Yang didn’t waste any more words. He threw the old man into the air and struck out with a palm.

Everyone around exclaimed in shock. With Su Yang’s strength, if this palm landed, wouldn’t the old man be killed on the spot?

The old man’s face turned deathly pale. He thought that Su Yang would be wary of their family’s Terrestrial Immortal and not dare to harm him. Unexpectedly, Su Yang made his move so decisively, leaving him stupefied. If he had known Su Yang truly dared to make a move and kill him here, he would never have dared to speak to Su Yang in such a manner!

As the force was about to hit him, the old man even closed his eyes in despair.

Just at this critical moment, a gray shadow appeared rapidly between the old man and Su Yang, just in time to block Su Yang’s palm.

Everyone at the scene was startled and stared dumbfounded at the shadow. This was a middle-aged man of average height with no distinguishing features. He seemed very ordinary but was able to block Su Yang’s strike without even a wobble, indicating the strength of this man.

The Chen Family elder saw this person and his face changed drastically as he quickly knelt down and said with a trembling voice, ”Third Master!”

The Chen Family elder was in fact the Chen Family Head. Within the Chen Family, he was of a highly respected generation, with only a few being older and of a higher generation. Yet this middle-aged man happened to be of his grandfather’s generation, showing the high status of this individual.

Plus, this man had just blocked Su Yang’s attack, so without thinking further, everyone could guess that this middle-aged man was the Terrestrial Immortal who had been cultivating in seclusion in the Chen Family’s back mountain.

Seeing this man emerge, Su Yang didn’t show the slightest surprise, as if he had expected this all along. Facing such a powerful Terrestrial Immortal, Su Yang stood with his hands behind him, calmly looking at him, and smiled lightly, ”I thought you wouldn’t show up. What, can’t bear to see your descendant die like this here?”

The expression of the middle-aged man was equally calm. He looked at Su Yang and said in a clear voice, ”Young man, don’t push things too far. As for sparing those who can be spared—do I really need to say more to you? You have already defeated Liu Shuangcan, and you have undoubtfully won the battle for Hanxi Province—why must you be so relentless?”

”Relentless?” Su Yang chuckled, ”Who was truly relentless, the people of the Ten Great Families of Hanxi Province or me? Old fool, are you really that naive, or are you pretending to be ignorant, trying to bluff me here?”

The middle-aged man’s face changed as he said sternly, ”Young man, don’t be too excessive with your words. I am over a hundred years your senior...”

”So what!” Su Yang interrupted him directly, ”Having lived so many extra years but still no more than an old man, what’s the point? You do despicable things behind the scenes and yet you come here talking about benevolence and righteousness. Pfft, even if you live for a thousand or ten thousand years, in my eyes, you’re still nothing more than an old turtle, an old fool; what does that count for!”

The middle-aged man was thoroughly enraged and shouted, ”Su Yang, do you really think I wouldn’t dare kill you!”

”Give it a try!” Su Yang sneered and pointed to the sky, ”Someone is watching!”

The middle-aged man looked up at the sky and ultimately swallowed his anger. Cultivating for over a hundred years, he knew the hardships of cultivation all too well, and of course, he wouldn’t jeopardise himself over a moment of anger.

After all, although Su Yang was only at the Venerable Realm, he himself was a rare Terrestrial Immortal—how could he be willing to put his life at risk just to serve as Su Yang’s foil?

The surrounding crowd was astonished. Could it be that the middle-aged man, a Terrestrial Immortal, was being insulted by Su Yang like this and still holding back his anger?

Of course, there were a few among them who knew the rules of the Terrestrial Immortals. However, they still couldn’t quite understand. Even if the middle-aged man didn’t dare to kill Su Yang, he could at least have taken action to punish him, so why didn’t he directly strike to cripple Su Yang instead?

What they didn’t know was that after the last great battle on Lake Heart Island, Ye Jiansheng had left the Southern Six Provinces, but Lian Wanxiong did not go back, continuing his challenge tour throughout the Southern Six Provinces. Almost every Terrestrial Immortal from the families was forced to face Lian Wanxiong. And without exception, all these Terrestrial Immortals were utterly defeated by him.

This middle-aged man hadn’t even lasted ten moves against Lian Wanxiong and had suffered a miserable defeat. He could feel Lian Wanxiong’s presence now, knowing that Lian Wanxiong was watching the events here, and also knew he was backing Su Yang. Hence, he didn’t even dare to contemplate punishing Su Yang!

He dared not kill Su Yang, but Lian Wanxiong would dare to kill him!

This point, the Qi Family of Wanhu had experienced firsthand. How dominant had the Qi Family been, yet hadn’t they watched helplessly as Su Yang slaughtered his way through Lake Heart Island and then left with ease?

Taking a deep breath, the middle-aged man said gravely, ”This time, it was their mistake. Of course, I will punish them and give you an explanation. How’s that!”

”Good!” Su Yang nodded, ”I want the lives of everyone involved in this matter; can you give me that?”

The middle-aged man’s face changed as he shouted, ”Don’t push your luck!”

”And what if I do!” Su Yang was equally assertive, ”If you don’t agree, I will annihilate the entire Chen Family!”

”You... you’re too much!” The middle-aged man roared, ”Just because they did not submit to you, you want to be so brutally ruthless...”

”It seems you really are clueless!” Su Yang said coldly, ”Go ask your nephew what exactly they did. They, a few families banded together, gathered a group, and planned to send to Pingnan Province to do what!”
