Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1127: Chapter 1126 The Secret of Devouring the Heavens

Lü Donglin sat briefly with Su Yang before he departed, leaving Su Yang alone by Hu Xiexie’s bedside.

Although Hu Xiexie was no longer in life-threatening danger, her injuries were still severe. Despite the remarkable effects of the elixir that Su Yang had personally concocted, it still needed some time to fully heal her.

Su Yang stayed by her side out of guilt and fear that someone might attack Hu Xiexie while she was vulnerable. Additionally, he wanted to spend more time with her.

In the dead of night, Su Yang walked to the window and gazed at the moonlight outside, his thoughts drifting back to the battle that day.

When Ge Kaiyang was about to deal a fatal blow to Hu Xiexie, Su Yang had been powerless to resist. At that critical moment, the Shadow Phantom from Devouring the Heavens directly fused with his body, causing the power within him to surge and become even stronger than before.

To outsiders, it appeared as though Su Yang had absorbed the Shadow Phantom into his body. However, Su Yang knew very well that it was not his doing; the Shadow Phantom had taken the initiative to merge with him.

Su Yang had been unaware that the Shadow Phantom could fuse with his body, nor did he know that such a fusion could unleash such immense power.

However, there was a significant downside to the fusion with the Shadow Phantom—his body could not withstand it.

He was drenched in blood at the time, his blood vessels bursting due to the power coursing through his body as he exerted himself. It seemed as if the True Qi was forcing the blood out of his body through his skin, a pain almost too unbearable to endure.

Moreover, his internal organs were also suffering under the strain of this power. Every strike he dealt to his enemies also battered his own body; it was a tactic that injured him nearly as much as his foes.

Thus, the fusion with the Shadow Phantom could not last long. If he persisted, he would likely die. This kind of fusion could only serve to intimidate others; it was highly imprudent to rely on it in actual combat.

Still, the situation had surprised Su Yang; he had never known that the Shadow Phantom from Devouring the Heavens had such an effect.

He opened Destiny’s Tome and, holding the Bronze Seal Script, carefully revisited the records concerning Devouring the Heavens. However, there was no mention of this particular effect.

Su Yang wondered if perhaps his own power was too weak, or if he had too few Bronze Seal Scripts, which might be why this information wasn’t displayed.

Looking at Destiny’s Tome and the Bronze Seal Script in his hands, Su Yang sighed softly. He was unsure what he had gotten himself into, but there was no doubt that these two items were significantly involved.

Considering what Lü Donglin had shared about the secrets earlier, Su Yang increasingly felt that his father, Su Ping, must be no ordinary man.

Why would such a person lay low for so long? Could there be some unknown secrets about him as well?

In fact, Su Yang had been considering asking Lü Donglin about the Bronze Seal Script. However, he ultimately decided not to ask. Although he was on good terms with Lü Donglin, who was quite bold, they were not close enough to share confidences.

Furthermore, Wu Daozi and Yuan Tiangang had mentioned that many in the world coveted the Bronze Seal Script. The saying goes, an innocent man holds fault for possessing a jade; Su Yang preferred not to let others know that he possessed the Bronze Seal Script, to avoid stirring up even greater trouble.

...

The next day, those from the Capital City packed up their belongings and, early in the morning, dejectedly made their way to the academy gate, preparing to leave Qinghe Academy.

After all, they had already told Lü Donglin about their departure the previous night. If they did not leave now, Lü Donglin would certainly not let them off. They all feared Lü Donglin, especially after the battle the night before.

Just as they reached the school gate and were about to exit, they saw a fiery red sports car drive into the gate.

The sports car roared toward them, seemingly ready to run them over.

The group frowned; they were not opponents for Lü Donglin and Su Yang, but they were also not to be trifled with. After all, their families were venerable, and their personal strengths considerable.

Even though they were defeated by Lü Donglin, their own power and family status were evident—this was not an invitation for just anyone to trample over them.

”D*mn it, looking for trouble!” one of them cursed and was about to strike.

Just then, the person next to him suddenly pulled him aside, causing his palm strike to veer off course.

Annoyed, he turned and demanded, ”What are you doing?”

”What are you doing?” The one who had pulled him retorted, ”Have you lost your mind? Don’t you see whose car that is? Don’t you need to check the license plate?”

Only then did he notice the license plate number, and his face immediately turned pale, his voice trembling, ”Is... is it her?”

The others turned pale too; they all recognized the license plate number.

”Hurry, let’s go!” one of them said in a low voice, and they quickly made their way to the gate with their luggage.

But before they could leave, the sports car made a U-turn and blocked their path.

They were forced to stop, but their expressions grew even uglier.

The car door opened, revealing a pair of stunning long legs. Following that, a tall girl in red emerged, beautiful and striking.

One would normally be pleased to see a beautiful girl, but these men wore gloomy faces, terribly awkward in their expressions.

The girl glanced at them and finally fixed her gaze on one of them, ”Huang Lin, who just tried to hit my car?”

Huang Lin, who had pulled the youth back earlier, was even more embarrassed now, and the youth who had tried to strike earlier looked like he was about to cry.

”Lady Frost, there’s been a misunderstanding... He was worried we were blocking your car, so... so he pushed us aside,” Huang Lin explained shakily.

The youth who had been pulled back looked immensely grateful and his eyes warmed considerably toward Huang Lin.

”Is that so?” The girl glanced at the youth who had tried to strike and said coldly, ”Forget it, I heard that only a few of you from Capital City are left in Qinghe Academy. I won’t pursue this matter further, or else there wouldn’t be a single person left from Capital City, and I’d become a lonely commander.”
