Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1193: Chapter 1192: Scare Away

”Again!” Su Yang roared loudly, feeling an increasing surge of bravery as he fought.

”Seeking death!” Smiling Hidden Knife coldly shouted, striking again with several palms, pushing Su Yang back more than ten steps, until he couldn’t help but vomit a mouthful of fresh blood.

”Su Yang!” Lü Donglin cried out urgently, repeatedly trying to stand, but lacked the strength. His complexion also turned extremely somber, knowing that if Su Yang continued like this, he would surely suffer greatly.

Su Yang paid him no heed, still fiercely clashing with Smiling Hidden Knife. However, his strength was far less than Smiling Hidden Knife’s, and every clash made him vomit blood, essentially battling Smiling Hidden Knife at the expense of his own life.

Before long, Su Yang’s strength significantly weakened, his clothes stained considerably with fresh blood. The outcome of the battle had become very clear—Smiling Hidden Knife could easily kill Su Yang now.

”Su Yang, stop fighting!” Lü Donglin urged anxiously, ”You’re no match for him!”

Su Yang ignored him, clenched his teeth, stood up, and shouted, ”Again!”

”Truly a tough guy, but what’s the point?” Smiling Hidden Knife shook his head, ”Without enough power, mere passion is useless. Enough, I won’t waste time with a weakling like you. Prepare to die!”

Smiling Hidden Knife walked up to Su Yang and struck down heavily, aiming to kill Su Yang with a single blow.

Suddenly, a gleam flashed in Su Yang’s eyes, and he rapidly chanted the Six Syllables Exorcism True Words, ”Om Mani Padme Hum!”

A golden light burst forth, and Su Yang’s body suddenly enlarged, as if an Arhat had descended to earth, his strength dramatically increased.

He pushed both palms out, like thunderbolting straight toward Smiling Hidden Knife.

Lü Donglin’s eyes brightened, clearly, Su Yang had been conserving this strike, waiting for the right moment to catch Smiling Hidden Knife off guard.

”Hahaha...” Smiling Hidden Knife burst into laughter. Just when he was about to be struck, he suddenly turned around with an extremely strange technique, dodging the attack and appearing directly behind Su Yang.

Lü Donglin’s eyes nearly bulged out—he realized that Smiling Hidden Knife had also been guarding against Su Yang’s attack. So, his all-out attempt to kill was a feint; he had held back some strength while watching for Su Yang’s move. His caution was correct, as he had dodged Su Yang’s long-planned fatal blow, evading Su Yang’s only chance.

”Petty trick, thinking you could fool me?” Smiling Hidden Knife laughed from behind Su Yang, and struck with his palm, ”Die now!”

”Su Yang, watch out!” Lü Donglin cried out loudly, but it was already too late—Su Yang had no chance to turn around and counterattack.

At this critical moment, something astonishing happened. A Shadow Phantom suddenly rose behind Su Yang, its eyes opening instantly—emotionless eyes locked straight onto Smiling Hidden Knife. Simultaneously, the Shadow Phantom opened its mouth and directly swallowed Smiling Hidden Knife.

”Ah!” Smiling Hidden Knife screamed as he was swallowed by the Shadow Phantom, feeling his strength rapidly draining away as if the phantom could absorb all his power. The sensation was terrifying to the extreme.

At this moment, Su Yang seized the opportunity, landing several palms consecutively on Smiling Hidden Knife.

Covered by the Shadow Phantom, Smiling Hidden Knife couldn’t defend himself. After being struck by several palms in succession, he vomited blood uncontrollably and was thrown out from the Shadow Phantom, severely wounded.

”Smiling Hidden Knife, prepare to die!” Su Yang roared, and the Nine Cold Jade Sword soared into the air, its cold light flickering as it enveloped Smiling Hidden Knife.

”””

Smiling Hidden Knife had already been gravely injured, his soul nearly scattered. Sensing something unusual about the Nine Cold Jade Sword, he dared not linger any longer and, screaming, he turned and fled without the slightest pause.

Su Yang stood proudly, not pursuing the escapee. After a while, he suddenly collapsed to the ground and passed out.

The battle had nearly cost Su Yang his life.

In fact, Lü Donglin was mistaken; the Arhat Golden Body was not Su Yang’s killing move, but merely a decoy.

Su Yang knew well that Smiling Hidden Knife was very familiar with him. Since Smiling Hidden Knife knew he was protected by magical armor, he must also know about his Arhat Golden Body skill. Therefore, Smiling Hidden Knife would surely be on guard for it.

Thus, Su Yang used the Arhat Golden Body as a decoy to repel Smiling Hidden Knife. Once he had used this move, it would completely remove Smiling Hidden Knife’s guard, leaving him vulnerable to Su Yang’s true killing move, Devouring the Heavens.

However, using Devouring the Heavens to completely devour Smiling Hidden Knife was also quite risky. Smiling Hidden Knife’s power was immense; once the Shadow Phantom swallowed him, his power would be transferred to Su Yang.

In just a short moment, most of the meridians in Su Yang’s body were heavily damaged.

Yet, Su Yang was forcibly holding back his injuries, striking Smiling Hidden Knife. Afterwards, he barely stood, wielding the Nine Cold Jade Sword as if to slay his opponent. In reality, by this time he had practically no strength left, and Smiling Hidden Knife could have killed him with one blow.

But Smiling Hidden Knife had no knowledge of Su Yang’s condition. Heavily injured and seeing Su Yang wield the Nine Cold Jade Sword again, he was frightened out of his wits and immediately turned to run, not daring to stay a moment longer!

This battle was extremely perilous for Su Yang. It was only by risking his life that he managed to scare Smiling Hidden Knife away. Yet, this was indeed the best outcome.

”Su Yang, Su Yang!” Lü Donglin called out a few times, barely managing to stand and staggering over.

Su Yang’s eyes were tightly closed, his breath weak, the injuries were simply too severe.

Lü Donglin took out the Spiritual Medicine given to him by Beigong War God and poured it into Su Yang’s mouth like it was free, ensuring that Su Yang’s life was saved before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If Su Yang were to die here, he would be consumed with guilt for a lifetime!

At this moment, several young men nearby were completely stunned. Lü Donglin glanced at them and suddenly said sternly, ”You guys, come here!”

The young men shivered with fear, having seen the fight between Su Yang and Smiling Hidden Knife that seemed almost divine and fearsome.

”Didn’t you hear me? I told you to come here!” Lü Donglin shouted angrily.

The young men, trembling, approached Lü Donglin, who hadn’t even spoken when they suddenly knelt on the ground, their voices quivering, ”Immortal, please... don’t kill us...”

”Who said anything about killing you!” Lü Donglin scoffed, ”You guys, find a stretcher, lift him onto it, and take us to the nearest inn. Once everything is arranged, I’ll give each of you a hundred thousand!”

The eyes of the young men suddenly lit up. A hundred thousand was not a small sum.

Without exchanging another word, the young men dismantled nearby tables and chairs to make a makeshift stretcher and lifted Su Yang onto it. One of them also supported Lü Donglin, and they headed to a small inn at the end of the street to settle them in.

Lü Donglin, true to his word, promptly transferred one hundred thousand to each of the young men, who left joyfully and delightedly.
