Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1497: Chapter 1496: Thousand Snow Palace

Su Huo led his men in a desperate chase after Su Ping. Meanwhile, Black Widow had been knocked to the ground. A young man from the Su Family was stepping on her head, sneering coldly as he used a longsword to cut through her clothes. Nearby, several other young men were laughing wildly.

At that moment, a sudden explosion thundered across the sky. Following it, a group of people descended from above, led by an imposing elderly man with a tall stature and hair and beard as white as snow. Before touching down, he roared, ”Shen Wan’ao from the Thousand Snow Palace is here! Who dares to harm my grandson and granddaughter!”

”Thousand Snow Palace!” Su Huo’s complexion changed drastically. Before he could speak, Shen Wan’ao had already charged at him and struck a heavy palm toward him.

Su Huo hurriedly evaded, but by then, Su Ping had taken the opportunity to fly far away.

Su Huo was filled with rage. Realizing he couldn’t catch up, he suddenly raised his longsword and ruthlessly severed his own left hand.

His left hand disintegrated into a blood mist, fully absorbed by the longsword. Su Huo then flung the longsword, which transformed into a massive dragon, swiftly pursuing Su Ping across the distant sky!

The stimulation greatly boosted the longsword’s speed.

Although Su Ping continuously struck back, he could not fend off the longsword. As it streaked toward him, he dodged frantically, but the longsword turned direction again, aiming for the vehicle he was holding.

Seeing that he couldn’t evade it, Su Ping suddenly let out a furious roar. He turned around abruptly and used his back to block the longsword.

The longsword pierced through Su Ping’s back, running straight through his body.

Su Ping cried out in pain, but taking advantage of the moment, he once again swallowed his own blood, propelling his speed to an extreme and vanishing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Su Huo was furious beyond measure and roared, ”Chase him! He’s been struck in the heart vein by my sword; he won’t live long or run far. Alive, we see him. Dead, we retrieve his corpse!”

The Su Family of Yanbei immediately charged forward, but Shen Wan’ao and his people intercepted them. The Thousand Snow Palace members blocked off the Su Family of Yanbei’s pursuit.

As for Shen Wan’ao, he decisively landed and sent the young Su Family men flying with a single palm strike, rescuing Black Widow.

He removed his coat to cover Black Widow, shielding her behind him, his face full of fury as he roared, ”Su Huo, come face death at my hands!”

The Su Family members grew enraged and prepared to rush forward, but were stopped by Su Huo’s raised hand.

Su Huo flew forward and said loudly, ”So it’s the Great Elder of the Thousand Snow Palace! May I ask what brings the esteemed elder here to this place?”

”What brings me here?” Shen Wan’ao pulled Black Widow from behind him and said coldly, ”What do you think?”

Su Huo glanced at Black Widow and chuckled, ”Oh, so this is the issue. Great Elder, I think you might have misunderstood. Actually, this is all part of my plan!”

”What plan?” Shen Wan’ao roared in anger. ”You humiliate my granddaughter this way, and now you dare talk about some plan?”

Seeing Shen Wan’ao about to strike, Su Huo quickly said, ”Great Elder, Su An came earlier!”

”Su An!” Shen Wan’ao’s eyes flashed with a sharp gleam, and he roared, ”Where is he? Where is he!”

”He took Su Ling away!” Su Huo said. ”I left Xue’er in the Su Family of Yanbei to lure him in. He has taken Destiny’s Tome, but without the Destiny Compass, he won’t be able to decipher its contents. So, he’ll definitely come for Xue’er. This is exactly my plan!”

”What!?” Shen Wan’ao grew even angrier. ”He took Ling’er away? What happened?”

”Just now, I was about to chase him down when you came with your people!” Su Huo said helplessly, ”The one who fled earlier was him!”

”What!?” Shen Wan’ao froze for an instant, looking at the distant sky in disbelief. However, by then, there was no trace of Su An to be found.

After a brief silence, Shen Wan’ao suddenly bellowed, ”Members of the Thousand Snow Palace, pursue him immediately! With Su An, alive, we meet him; dead, we retrieve his body!”

The Thousand Snow Palace members quickly sped away, while Shen Wan’ao gave Su Huo a sharp glare before taking Black Widow and flying off into the distance.

Su Huo opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing. Though he wanted to retain Black Widow, he realized that now was not the time to clash with Shen Wan’ao. Finding Su Ping remained the utmost priority!

Landing on the ground, Su Huo immediately instructed the Su Family members to continue tracking Su Ping.

...

Su Yang and Su Ling were in a vehicle, being carried by Su Ping as he flew at breakneck speed. Su Yang couldn’t tell how far they’d flown, but he could only see a longsword embedded in Su Ping’s chest, with blood constantly pouring out.

To conserve strength, Su Ping consumed the blood that flowed from his wound, continuously enhancing his speed.

The consequence of this was that the bleeding never stopped, blood flowed endlessly, and his speed grew faster and faster—yet his life force grew weaker and weaker.

After a long while, Su Yang stood up abruptly, pounding on the vehicle’s window, shouting, ”Stop! Stop! At this rate, you’ll die!”

Su Ping seemed deaf to Su Yang’s cries, continuing to swallow his own blood and hurtling forward at speed.

Finally, after flying for over two hours, Su Ping could no longer sustain himself and plummeted from the sky.

As he fell, he still used his body to shield the vehicle, crashing his body into the ground to protect the passengers inside.

With his protective energy exhausted, Su Ping’s landing left him with multiple fractures all over. His body shrank back to its original size, becoming unrecognizable.

Missing a leg and an arm, his body covered in blood and riddled with wounds, Su Ping’s condition was pitiful beyond description.

Su Yang scrambled out of the vehicle in panic, rushing to Su Ping’s side to support him, his voice trembling, ”Father, father, are you... are you alright? How are you?”

Su Ping barely raised his hand. He opened his eyes to glance at Su Yang, then shifted his gaze toward the vehicle.

Su Yang froze in place. Could Su Ping truly be feeling remorse?

”Wait here!” Su Yang rushed back to the vehicle, bringing Su Ling out.

Su Ling, mentally impaired, stared blankly at the surroundings, entirely unable to understand the situation.

Su Ping gazed at Su Ling, and for the first time, a flicker of light appeared in his eyes. He struggled to rise but ultimately failed, ending up staring at Su Ling with a fixed gaze.

Su Yang hurriedly brought Su Ling to Su Ping’s side. Su Ping extended a trembling hand to grasp Su Ling’s, his tears finally spilling from his eyes.

”Father, take the medicine, take the medicine!” Su Yang frantically pulled out various elixirs, saying, ”You’ll be fine, you’ll be fine...”

Su Yang stuffed the elixirs into Su Ping’s mouth, only for him to cough violently and spit them back out. Su Ping waved his hand, motioning for Su Yang to stop.

Su Yang froze. He could see that Su Ping’s life force was fully depleted; saving him was impossible. Yet, Su Yang wasn’t ready to accept this ending.
