Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 257: Chapter 256: Strange Copper Plate

Wang Shao was immediately silent, just as Su Yang had said, the Wang Family truly couldn’t afford to disobey Su Yang.

”However, I will still let you die with a clear understanding!” Su Yang said, ”Do you know why this skeleton has been chasing after you tirelessly?”

”Why?” Wang Shao asked in surprise, he was also very curious about this. After the skeleton had revived, it had been relentlessly pursuing him as if it held a deep grudge against him.

Taking the longsword from Wang Shao’s hand, Su Yang smiled and said, ”Because, you took away the item that sealed it!”

As he spoke, Su Yang directly stabbed the longsword into the skeleton’s chest.

Strangely enough, once the longsword was thrust in, the skeleton went limp on the ground, as if it had died once again.

Wang Shao was dumbfounded; he finally understood why the bearded man had urged them to take the longsword— he had been using them all along.

”Thank you... thank you, Master Su, for saving my life...” Wang Shao said with a trembling voice.

”You’re wrong!” Su Yang shook his head, ”I’m only letting you understand what’s happening, I’m not going to save you!”

After speaking, Su Yang once again pulled out the longsword from the skeleton’s chest and threw the sword into Wang Shao’s hands.

”What... what are you doing?” Wang Shao was shocked, hurriedly throwing the longsword away. However, the skeleton was still crawling towards him.

”You wanted to kill me, then I can’t let you live!” Su Yang said with his hands behind his back, ”Even if you’re no match for me, who can guarantee that one day, you won’t lash out at the people close to me. Eradicating the roots has always been the best principle, hasn’t it?”

”You... if you kill me, the people of the Wang Family will definitely not let you off easily...” Wang Shao roared in anger.

”Is that so?” Su Yang smiled faintly, ”This matter will probably be blamed on the Three Sage Monarchs. Besides, even if the Wang Family truly seeks revenge, what of it? If it comes to it, I’ll just eradicate another family!”

Wang Shao was suddenly dumbstruck; this was the Pingnan Province Top Ten Families, and Su Yang talked about wiping them out so nonchalantly, wasn’t that too domineering?

The skeleton ultimately reached Wang Shao, and amidst his screams, the Eldest Young Master of the Wang Family eventually left his life behind there.

After waiting for Wang Shao to die, Su Yang took the opportunity to dispose of the several other people nearby. Then, he picked up the longsword and sealed the skeleton once more.

After circling the stone chamber again, Su Yang memorized all the patterns on the stone walls. He then sat cross-legged and took out the copper piece, using it as a medium to absorb all the surrounding spiritual energy.

Su Yang only knew that the copper piece could make the spiritual energy inside the area chaotic, so he used it as a medium to attract spiritual energy. However, when the spiritual energy passed through the copper piece and entered his body, Su Yang suddenly discovered in surprise that the energy had become pure and could be directly absorbed by him.

The spiritual energy from those geomantic treasure lands was always mixed and needed to be refined after entering the body before it could be utilized. But now, after passing through the copper piece, the spiritual energy didn’t need any refining at all, allowing Su Yang’s cultivation time to be shortened by several times, an astonishing discovery indeed.

Soon, Su Yang had absorbed all the spiritual energy in the place. Looking at the copper piece in his hand, he couldn’t help but be surprised. What exactly was this copper piece?

Su Yang recalled what the bearded man had said about Master Wufang, and now it seemed that the bearded man might not be his disciple. This map was probably obtained from Master Wufang by the bearded man. Then, the bearded man had fooled Wang Shao and the others to come here, intending to take away the copper piece.

As for why he chose to deceive Wang Shao and the others to come here, that was quite clear. Because pulling out that longsword required someone of the Integration Realm, and in Pingnan Province, the masters of the Integration Realm were mostly senior experts, not so easily deceived by the bearded man.

And Wang Shao, the arrogant and extravagant young master, naturally became the bearded man’s primary target.

Of course, Wang Shao and his associates truly cooperated. This time, if Su Yang weren’t here, the bronze piece would have likely been taken by the bearded man.

Having secured the bronze piece, Su Yang did not linger in the cave any longer and left straightaway.

By the time he returned to the hotel, the sky was already dimly lit.

Su Yang had barely reached his room when he heard a rustling sound around him. He furrowed his brow but made no commotion, instead, he quietly retreated back outside.

Following the sounds, it didn’t take long for Su Yang to discover a group of people burying explosives behind the hotel wall. Several of them were also armed with guns, clearly harboring ill intentions.

Su Yang furrowed his brow and said coldly, ”Setting so much explosive, are you planning to kill everyone? Have you forgotten that Chen Shao is inside as well?”

Startled by the sound of Su Yang’s voice, the men turned around. Their expressions changed and the leader said in a deep voice, ”Who are you?”

”Coming to do the job and you don’t even know who I am?” Su Yang responded, ”I am Su Yang, the one you’ve come to kill!”

”You are Su Yang!” The men’s expressions changed, and the leader drew his gun, aiming at Su Yang and sneered, ”Mr. Su, Elder Chen has ordered that none of the people who came with you this time should be spared! Sorry, brother, we’re just doing it for the money, so don’t hold a grudge after you’re dead.”

The man pulled the trigger, intending to kill Su Yang on the spot, but as he pressed down hard, the trigger seemed to be welded in place, completely immovable.

”What’s going on?” the man’s face was one of panic: ”Is there something wrong with the gun?”

”Let me try!” Another man also drew his gun, but the result was the same as the first.

The men refused to believe in curses and each drew their guns, but not one of them could fire.

”What the hell?” the group wondered aloud.

Su Yang stood with his hands behind his back, smiling faintly, ”It seems this time, in doing the job for money, you’ll pay with your lives instead!”

Looking at each other, the leader said in a deep voice, ”Don’t need guns, we can still kill you. Men, charge!”

The men rushed forward together, their stance indicating they were most likely seasoned mercenaries.

Su Yang scoffed and charged into the crowd, and after a brief skirmish, all the assailants were downed, leaving not a single one standing.

Dumbstruck, the leader said in a trembling voice, ”Who... who exactly are you...”

”Didn’t Chen Biao tell you before coming to kill me?” Su Yang said with a cold smile. ”Even among the Pingnan Province Top Ten Families, there have been those who died by my hand. What are you in comparison?”

”Ah?” The leader was utterly dumbfounded, cursing, ”Chen Biao, you bastard, you’ve screwed us over!”

Su Yang paid him no mind, placed his hand on the man’s head, and using the Soul Searching Technique, he discerned Chen Biao’s plan. He had hired these desperate men and bought a lot of explosives with the intention of blowing up everyone in the hotel, leaving no survivors.

Chen Biao was truly prepared to even sacrifice his own son to kill Su Yang and rid himself of this thorn in his side for good.
