Supreme Warrior in the City

”Third Young Master Zhang!” A sudden shout came from the sky, ”This matter has nothing to do with the Zhang Family. Leave at once, as if nothing ever happened!”

The speaker was an expert from the Ghost Realm, who understood the might of the Martial Champion and wished to avoid entangling him.

”Leave!?” Third Young Master Zhang stood with his sword, his voice cold, ”Today, I fight alongside my son. None shall make me retreat even a step!”

The man from the Ghost Realm ignored Third Young Master Zhang and instead looked towards the Zhang Family from afar, loudly saying, ”Martial Champion, are you Zhang Family planning to involve yourselves in this matter?”

The Zhang Family was silent for a long time before a sigh was heard.

Soon after, the Martial Champion emerged from a thatched hut in the backyard. He glanced at the scene briefly and then looked towards those in the sky, softly saying, ”That is my grandson. What do you say I should do?”

The man from the Ghost Realm furrowed his brows, pondered for a while, and said, ”You can take that person back!”

”I’d rather not!” The Martial Champion shook his head, ”If he knew that his grandfather was so cowardly as to watch the Human World perish, would he still acknowledge me?”

The man from the Ghost Realm became angry, ”Martial Champion, what do you mean by this? You plan to go to war with the Eight Realms? Do you realize that you, a Sub-Saint, are nothing in the Eight Realms!”

”I may be nothing, but at least, this is the Human World!” The Martial Champion ascended step by step, his aura rapidly rising, imposing pressure downward, suppressing everyone present.

Even those besieging Su Yang were now so overwhelmed by this aura that they couldn’t stand up.

Su Yang was shaken; this was the strength of a Sub-Saint? If a Sub-Saint held such power, how formidable must a Saint be?

The Martial Champion glanced over everyone, loudly saying, ”I request that all of you return to your realms!”

The Cloud Emperor was also suppressed by the aura, roaring angrily, ”Martial Champion, by doing this, you are provoking the Eight Realms. Once the Saints from the Eight Realms arrive, do you know what your fate will be?”

”If a Saint intervenes, I will die without regret!” The Martial Champion smiled slightly and once again loudly said, ”I request that all of you return to your realms!”

”What if we choose not to?” The man from the Ghost Realm roared angrily.

The Martial Champion said nothing, merely glanced at him. The man exploded in mid-air, instantly dead!

The crowd was immediately in an uproar; was this the strength of a Sub-Saint? With just a glance, able to kill such a powerful figure on the spot?

Su Yang was exceedingly shocked; he finally understood why people feared Ye Sword Saint so much in the Endless Starry Sky. After all, the power of a Sub-Saint was beyond their reach!

The Martial Champion took another step forward and loudly said, ”For the third time, I request that all of you return to your realms!”

This time, no one dared to say anything. The Cloud Emperor gritted his teeth, saying in a deep voice, ”Martial Champion, we will return!”

The Martial Champion said nothing, merely watched these people leave and enter the underground chamber of Qinghe Academy.

Half a day later, the Human World returned to peace.

One Martial Champion suppressed everything!

Su Yang and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. Su Yang quickly flew up into the sky to stand beside the Martial Champion.

”Senior Zhang, thank you very much!” Su Yang respectfully stated; without the Martial Champion this time, the Human World would have truly been in peril.

”I did it for my grandson!” The Martial Champion glanced at Lv Donglin, who had already fallen into unconsciousness below, softly saying, ”I, this person, protect only my kin. As for great righteousness or whatever, I do not understand it, so you needn’t thank me!”

Su Yang said nothing more; he understood the Martial Champion’s personality. However, he did indeed save the Human World.

”Next, I will guard Qinghe Academy!” The Martial Champion softly said, ”Yet, I can only guard for a month. Because, after a month, the Sub-Saints from the Eight Realms will enter the Human World!”

”Sub-Saints!?” Su Yang’s expression changed rapidly; if this were true, wouldn’t the Human World be indefensible again?

”If Ye Sword Saint can return in time, the situation would improve. If he cannot return timely, then we can only leave it to fate!” The Martial Champion softly said, ”However do not worry, as long you do not throw the eight stone coffins into Storm Valley, the Saints of the Eight Realms will not take action. Saints, too, are concerned about their dignity!”

Su Yang smiled bitterly, knowing very well that the eight stone coffins couldn’t be thrown into Storm Valley. The previous principal had advised him earlier, stating this act was absolutely forbidden.

Once the stone coffins were in Storm Valley, its power would flow through space into another world, causing a catastrophe for that world. At that time, Saints would definitely take action, and nothing could then change!

”A month’s time...” Su Yang sighed, wondering if Su Zhan and the others could find Ye Sword Saint within this timeframe.

”But during this time, you can quickly send members of the Human World into the World Melting Furnace.” The Martial Champion said, ”Send in as many as possible!”

Su Yang nodded, as this seemed to be the only option now.

”I will also send the Zhang Family into the World Melting Furnace!” Su Yang said.

The Martial Champion nodded; though previously indifferent, he could no longer ignore this now.

Before, when the Zhang Family shut its doors and stayed out of the matter, the Eight Realms refrained from taking action against them. After all, he was a Sub-Saint; none from the Eight Realms wished to provoke a Sub-Saint. Provoking a Sub-Saint meant creating a formidable enemy for themselves, and no one wanted that.

But now, with his involvement as a major force holding the place, the Sub-Saints of the Eight Realms may act, making the Zhang Family no longer safe.

Hence, sending the Zhang Family into the World Melting Furnace is necessary to preserve the family.

Su Yang flew into the sky and gathered everyone together.

Seeing the scattered crowd, Su Yang’s mood sank heavily.

In this battle, how many comrades would never rise again!

”Carry on, send the people into the World Melting Furnace!” Su Yang forced himself to issue the order.

The crowd began to move; Su Yang opened the World Melting Furnace and called out those inside to help handle this matter as well.

Meanwhile, Su Yang flew to Pingbei Province to personally bring Lian Wanxiong and Huo Yuanzhen back to Capital City.

Huo Yuanzhen had died of old age, while Lian Wanxiong perished from exhaustion.

As Su Yang arrived beside Lian Wanxiong, a cloud of black energy flew from him, while Su Yang’s shadow surged up behind him, swallowing the black energy.

Su Yang furrowed his brows, aware that this was the Devouring power of the world mastered by Lian Wanxiong, being consumed by the shadow behind him?

Does this mean that the Devouring power practiced by these people would eventually be consolidated? They perished in battle, yet this Devouring power would not dissipate?

Su Yang recalled what his father Su Zhan had said; the creator of the Devouring Secret Technique likely enlisted people’s bodies as furnaces to help cultivate this Devouring power!
