Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 375: Chapter 374 Life in Danger

Ghost Blade Mo Qianli and his companions were waiting outside when they suddenly noticed a large area of the region collapsing, finally forming a giant pit.

Within the pit, countless boulders crisscrossed, making it impossible for anyone to enter.

”How could this happen?” a man beside him asked in astonishment.

Mo Qianli also furrowed his brows. Had the battle inside already reached this extent?

That was the power of the Divine Sovereign manifesting itself, right? Killing a minor figure from the Integration Realm should have been as easy as flipping one’s hand. But why was the battle so fierce that it had led to this?

As they were in shock, Mo Qianli suddenly felt the Protective Jade Talisman on his body brim with power again. He immediately smiled and said loudly, ”No worries, the power of the Divine Sovereign has returned. It seems that those two little thieves have been killed by the Divine Sovereign!”

”Ah?” The crowd was stunned. The middle-aged man anxiously said, ”They’re dead? Then... what should we do? The boss wanted them alive. If Ye Wantong is dead, we can’t use her to threaten Ye Jiansheng anymore!”

Ghost Blade Mo Qianli frowned slightly as well, then after a moment of silence, he said, ”If that’s the case, there’s no need to frame Su Yang anymore. You now go find Eight-Faced Yama, and let him spread the word that it was I, Ghost Blade Mo Qianli, who captured Ye Wantong. Ye Jiansheng doesn’t know whether Ye Wantong is dead or alive, so by then, he will inevitably be restricted. In this battle, his death is certain!”

The crowd was immediately overjoyed. The middle-aged man said excitedly, ”Ghost Grandpa is indeed thoughtful. In that case, let’s do it this way. We’ll go find Eight-Faced Yama right now!”

”No rush!” Ghost Blade Mo Qianli gestured with his hand, ”Among you, one person going to find Eight-Faced Yama is enough. The rest stay here to clear this area!”

”Ah?” The crowd was taken aback. The middle-aged man looked at the massive pit behind them and said, ”Clear this place... what for?”

”Dead or alive, we must see the body. Don’t you even understand this principle?” Mo Qianli said coldly.

The middle-aged man said anxiously, ”But with so many boulders piled on top, even if we were to bring in cranes or other modern equipment, who knows how long it would take to clear this. With just a few of us, how... how could we possibly clear this place?”

”It’s only a matter of time!” Mo Qianli said coldly, ”During this time, don’t go anywhere else, just clear this place here. As soon as there’s news, immediately inform me. Whether it’s a person or a corpse, we must find out the result, understand?”

The crowd’s faces darkened, but no one dared to contradict Mo Qianli and could only nod silently.

”Very well!” Mo Qianli nodded satisfactorily, ”In that case, I’ll leave this place to you!”

With that, Mo Qianli turned and swiftly left the area.

As the crowd watched Mo Qianli disappear into the distance, they immediately began to curse, ”Dead cripple, you damn don’t do the work yourself but make us do it, treating us like coolies!”

”Bastard, bullying us just because you are strong, it’s too hateful!”

”Old thing, I hope you’re the first to die at the Dragon Head Meeting in May!”

The crowd continued to curse, but in the end, they didn’t dare disobey Mo Qianli’s orders.

”Forget it, just do as he commanded!” the middle-aged man said in a deep voice, ”I’ll go find Eight-Faced Yama. You guys clear this place!”

”Ah?” Everyone was stunned. The sleazy man hurriedly said, ”Second brother, why don’t I go find Eight-Faced Yama...”

”I’ll go! I’ll go!”

People were clamoring one after another; none of them wanted to toil away here.

The middle-aged man shouted angrily, ”I said I’ll go look for help, now shut up, all of you!”

Silenced, the crowd conceded, as the middle-aged man held a slightly higher status than them.

After the middle-aged man followed Ghost Blade Mo Qianli, the rest, cursing and grumbling, had no choice but to move stones there.

But the stones below were simply too large, and they genuinely could not move them. After a long struggle, they made no progress at all—instead, they were so exhausted they were panting like dogs, tongues lolling out.

At this time, beneath the collapsed cave, there was a corner that had not given way. That corner held firm because Su Yang was propping it up with his body.

Ye Wantong was shielded behind him; as a result, not a single stone fell on her. It could be said that Su Yang used his body to create this space for Ye Wantong. Had it not been for this, Ye Wantong might have been crushed to death already.

Throughout the ordeal, Su Yang bled profusely, yet from beginning to end, he clenched his teeth and stood upright, stubbornly supporting those stones. He knew that if he even moved back slightly, the stones could come crashing down and kill Ye Wantong.

However, once all of the stones had settled, everything was fixed in place, securing the small area of space.

After everything stabilized, Su Yang finally could not hold on any longer and collapsed slowly to the ground.

Ye Wantong, who had been behind, watched with tears brimming in her eyes, but she was still bound to that chair, completely unable to come forward and support Su Yang.

She struggled fiercely with her hands; the rope was tied very tight. It took her nearly two hours to break free from the rope.

Once free, Ye Wantong’s first response was to rush over to Su Yang’s side. As she helped him up, she discovered that Su Yang was barely breathing anymore.

”Su Yang, how... how are you? Don’t scare me...” Ye Wantong’s voice trembled. If Su Yang had died to save her, she would truly be guilty for the rest of her life.

Su Yang made no sound at all; he had truly been grievously injured in this battle. After all, he was up against a Terrestrial Immortal, a force he was currently no match for.

The last two strikes from the Divine Sovereign hit Su Yang directly. If not for Su Yang having employed the Buddhist Secret Law to achieve the Buddhist Diamond Body, his body might well have been shattered.

Even so, his internal organs were severely damaged, and he kept vomiting blood, his condition extremely critical.

Ye Wantong was fraught with anxiety. Suddenly, she remembered something, grabbed the Jade Pendant hanging from her neck, and crushed it with force.

This was the Jade Pendant given to her by Sword Saint Ye Jiansheng, meant for her to crush in critical moments to save her life.

However, when she was captured in the car, she had no chance to crush the Jade Pendant. Then, after being bound here, she had even less opportunity.

Now, with no other options, Ye Wantong could only crush the Jade Pendant, hoping to seek rescue from her father.

As the Jade Pendant shattered, nothing special happened; the scene remained as silent as death.

Ye Wantong did not know that this Jade Pendant, just like Mo Qianli’s Protective Jade Talisman, needed to sense its owner’s power to activate.

And now, trapped underground, with massive stones blocking out the sky, everything was obstructed. Naturally, it could not sense Sword Saint Ye Jiansheng’s power. Even if she crushed the Jade Pendant, it would have no effect. The previous force of the Divine Sovereign had been repulsed for this very reason!
