Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1449: Chapter 1448 You Are All Fools

Although the four people all saw Su Yang, none of them spoke to him, as if he didn’t exist at all.

Su Yang frowned. He understood the Second Elder’s intention—he was letting the fifteen families clash with Su Yang first to exhaust his strength.

Once the strength of these fifteen families was mostly depleted, Su Yang’s power would also be nearly drained. At that point, they could take action against Su Yang without expending much effort.

Su Yang certainly wouldn’t let such a situation unfold. He stepped forward and said coldly, ”Second Elder, I’ve arrived here, yet you still choose to act like a coward hiding in your shell. Doesn’t that seem a bit inappropriate? The dogs you summoned bark so wildly, and yet you hide in the back like a turtle. Could it be that you’re even worse than those dogs?”

As soon as these words were uttered, the crowd erupted instantly.

The members of the fifteen families were infuriated—Su Yang had insulted them as dogs. Meanwhile, the four sect members in the back were livid, as Su Yang’s remark clearly referred to them being cowards.

”Arrogant!” Ki Yongchuan was the first to shout angrily. With a flick, he folded his fan and was ready to strike, only to be immediately stopped by the Second Elder next to him.

”Young Qi, don’t act impulsively!” The Second Elder lightly gestured toward the sky, hinting to Ki Yongchuan that the Law Enforcers were observing from above.

Ki Yongchuan could only suppress his anger and grumbled, ”These heavenly laws and rules—it’s time to change them!”

The other two nodded in agreement—they staunchly supported revising the rules of heaven and earth. The events that unfolded tonight further solidified this belief.

Second Elder nodded slowly and shot a cold glance at Su Yang, saying, ”Su Yang, do you even know who these three are that you dare to speak so recklessly? You’re truly arrogant to the extreme—do you really think that just because the Law Enforcers are here, we can’t do anything to you?”

”Why waste words? Are you here tonight to try and persuade me with reason?” Su Yang sneered.

”Hmph, can one reason with someone like you?” Second Elder retorted.

”That line should be mine to say!” Su Yang responded coldly. ”You people baselessly accuse me of killing members of Medicine Sect. Now you group up against me. So, what? Medicine Sect doesn’t care for justice, and neither does Soaring Cloud Hall, Heavenly Blade Peak, or Horizon’s End?”

The three individuals nearby were momentarily stunned. Su Yang directly revealed their backgrounds, proving he knew exactly who they were.

”What impudence!” The Elder from Soaring Cloud Hall said sharply, ”Knowing where we come from, you still dare to speak in this manner—do you realize this counts as blasphemy against the divine?”

”Are you a god?” Su Yang retorted.

”To the people of this world, we are gods!” The Elder from Soaring Cloud Hall said proudly, with the others nodding in agreement. In their eyes, as members of a Superlunary Sect, they were indeed revered as divine beings to ordinary people.

”Pah!” Su Yang spat directly. ”What nonsense of gods! You take yourselves so seriously. Unable to distinguish right from wrong, yet claiming to be divine? I see you all as nothing but fools parading your ignorance!”

”Who are you calling that?” Ki Yongchuan roared in anger. If not for the fact that he was a Terrestrial Immortal, he would’ve already attempted to kill Su Yang multiple times over.

”You brat, you’re courting death!” Ki Yongchuan’s face turned icy.

”Hah, courting death?” Su Yang sneered. ”What, tonight’s gathering here—is it for me to leave alive? All this posturing boils down to wanting me dead, doesn’t it? Since I’ve already accepted death, what is there left to fear?”

Everyone was momentarily speechless—Su Yang’s words left them without a retort.

Ki Yongchuan hadn’t expected Su Yang to be so fearless of death. He gritted his teeth and snarled, ”Su Yang, just as Second Elder said, you truly deserve to die. But if you’re hellbent on dying, don’t drag others along with you. With all this commotion tonight, are you planning to get everyone around you killed too?”

”Spare me the cheap attempts to sow discord. I’ve already said—you lot are too dim-witted, so stop playing tricks before me. It’s laughable!” Su Yang fired back.

”You...” Ki Yongchuan was once again insulted by Su Yang, nearly losing his mind in fury. He angrily slammed the table in front of him and shouted, ”Su Yang, what gives you the right to call me dim-witted?”

Su Yang replied, ”Didn’t I make myself clear earlier? Unable to discern black from white, nor right from wrong—isn’t lack of intelligence the only fitting explanation?”

”How am I blind to black and white, or unable to distinguish right and wrong?” Ki Yongchuan growled.

”Haha...” Su Yang sneered. ”Then let me ask you, why are you all here tonight?”

”What nonsense!” Ki Yongchuan barked. ”Is there even a need to ask?”

”You were invited by the Second Elder of Medicine Sect to come help them take revenge on me, am I right?” Su Yang asked.

”What are you trying to say?” Ki Yongchuan shouted again.

”What I’m saying is—I have no enmity with any of you, so why seek revenge on me?” Su Yang asked.

”You killed so many members of Medicine Sect, then used your influence in Capital City to provoke the Ten Great Sects. Our good ties with Medicine Sect mean we cannot stand idly by. What you’ve done—everyone would want you dead. Helping Medicine Sect is nothing more than standing for justice!” Ki Yongchuan responded coldly. ”There’s nothing wrong with that!”

”What exactly have I done that justifies everyone wanting me dead?” Su Yang retorted.

Ki Yongchuan shouted, ”What nonsense! You killed so many members of Medicine Sect—isn’t that crime worthy of execution?”

”And how do you know it was me who killed them?” Su Yang questioned again.

”At this stage, you’re still trying to deny it!” Ki Yongchuan fumed.

”See? We’ve barely exchanged a few sentences, and you’re already flustered.” Su Yang remarked helplessly. ”What good does it do to lose your temper? You have no evidence to prove that I killed those people. In fact, even Medicine Sect doesn’t have any proof that I am the culprit. You blindly listened to their claims and rushed here to attack me. Now tell me, isn’t that the very definition of failing to distinguish black from white or right from wrong? So, my insult—was it wrong?”

Ki Yongchuan and the other two were left dumbfounded—Su Yang’s argument had genuinely thrown them off balance.

Indeed, they had only acted based on Medicine Sect’s accusations that Su Yang had killed their people. They hadn’t even bothered to ascertain the truth.

Yet Su Yang had seized on this point, cornering them into silence. After all, if even Medicine Sect couldn’t conclusively prove Su Yang was the killer, how could anyone else prove it?
