Supreme Warrior in the City

After half a year of such circumstances, once Su Yang’s situation had completely stabilized, he sent out invitations, inviting the five nearest Saint Venerables to visit.

These five Saint Venerables were five of those who went to observe the battle at that time. Moreover, one was formerly Unihorn Saint Venerable’s lackey.

Receiving Su Yang’s invitation, these five Saint Venerables were obviously nervous, after all, they had previously disrespected Su Yang. What good could come from Su Yang inviting them now?

However, none of them dared not to come, as Su Yang’s strength had been demonstrated very clearly; no one dared to oppose Su Yang.

Finally, the five Saint Venerables met to confer and then traveled together to accept Su Yang’s invitation. They had already decided that if Su Yang truly intended to attack them, the five of them would join forces. Could they possibly not be Su Yang’s opponent?

Upon arriving at Su Yang’s place, there was no banquet; Su Yang met with them directly in the main hall.

”The main reason I’ve invited you today is to discuss something,” Su Yang said with a faint smile. ”As you know, the number of demon beasts in my area has increased drastically lately, along with the demand for Spiritual Source. However, my supply of Spiritual Source is far too little, completely insufficient. So, I invited you to suggest a collaboration. If it’s convenient, you could provide me with one Spiritual Source a year, as a loan from you to me. What do you think?”

Upon hearing this, the five Saint Venerables nearly jumped up. What kind of collaboration? What kind of loan? Clearly, Su Yang was extorting them. Lending Spiritual Source, would Su Yang ever return it?

The five Saint Venerables exchanged glances, and one of them frowned and said, ”Saint Venerable Jiushi, your Spiritual Source is insufficient; our Spiritual Source is also insufficient. We’re all Saint Venerables with many demon beasts to support, and our Spiritual Sources are equally lacking.”

This Saint Venerable’s words were actually a warning to Su Yang: We’re all Saint Venerables; you have no right to boss us around.

”In the Demon Beast Clan, it’s survival of the fittest. Only the strong deserve more Spiritual Source; the weak do not,” Su Yang replied with a faint smile. ”In truth, my request for discussion is out of respect; it doesn’t mean I am genuinely negotiating with you. My point is simple: providing one Spiritual Source a year guarantees your safety. If you refuse, well, since I was capable of killing Six Trigrams Saint Venerable and Unihorn Saint Venerable and taking their Spiritual Sources, I can kill other Saint Venerables to seize their Spiritual Sources. Isn’t life and death the most normal thing in the Demon Beast Clan?”

The expressions of the five Saint Venerables changed. Su Yang’s words were an absolute threat, laying bare his intent to confront them directly.

Exchanging glances, the five Saint Venerables nodded simultaneously, and one of them shouted angrily, ”Saint Venerable Jiushi, we’re negotiating with you out of respect as well. Do you truly think you can rule the world single-handedly? Even Unihorn Saint Venerable, when alive, did not dare to threaten us like this. Don’t forget, you’re not the only Saint Venerable here. No matter how strong you are, do you dare face off against all Saint Venerables?”

”So, you’re not willing to provide the Spiritual Source?” Su Yang asked softly.

”That’s right! Not only me, but none of us are willing...” the Saint Venerable shouted, but before he could finish, Su Yang acted, directly lunging at that Saint Venerable.

All five Saint Venerables focused on Su Yang, and when he attacked, their expressions changed, and they also struck simultaneously. Two defended with all their might, while three retaliated fiercely, preparing to fight Su Yang head-on.

Under the watchful eyes of the five Saint Venerables, Su Yang easily maneuvered around them, directly confronting the Saint Venerable who had spoken, crashing heavily into him.

The Saint Venerable hadn’t anticipated that even under these circumstances, Su Yang could crash into him, sending him flying backward, nearly shattering his body.

The other four Saint Venerables were stunned; they’d joined forces and still couldn’t block Su Yang? His strength was overwhelmingly strong!

These Saint Venerables were unaware that Su Yang had fully grasped the Saint Venerable realm. Though he was merely at the Intermediate Saint Venerable level, facing the Peak of Saint Venerable posed no problem. Coupled with the Secret Technique from the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book, he was absolutely confident in battling Saint Venerables.

It was akin to Su Yang in the Human World; at the same level, with the support of the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book, he was not only invincible at his level but also capable of taking on multiple opponents, which was the confidence given to him by the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book!

Among the five Saint Venerables, the strongest only reached the Intermediate level. Though they joined forces, what could they do? To Su Yang, they were like fish on a chopping block!

After a brief struggle, Su Yang easily evaded the four Saint Venerables and, to their shock, completely slew the previously speaking Saint Venerable.

After devouring the fallen Saint Venerable’s body, Su Yang cast his gaze over the remaining four. ”Now, are you willing to provide the Spiritual Source or not?”

The four Saint Venerables trembled in fear; they had initially thought that joining forces would defeat Su Yang. Unexpectedly, they never doubted that if Su Yang wanted, he could easily kill them.

So, at this moment, none of the four dared defy. Listening to Su Yang’s words, they nodded vigorously, almost wishing to kneel and show their willingness.

”Good that you’re willing!” Su Yang nodded in satisfaction. ”There was no need for this; I was sincerely negotiating. You forced my hand. Alas, if you are willing to lend me the Spiritual Source, we’re friends. I genuinely don’t want to kill.”

While speaking, Su Yang shook his head in regret, seemingly troubled by the death of the previous Saint Venerable.

The four Saint Venerables looked at Su Yang as if he were a demon, utterly fearful. Su Yang was terrifying; in his presence, they felt as though they were being stalked by a demon, filled with utter dread.

”Alright, since you’re willing, it’s settled!” Su Yang said, waving them off. ”You can leave now. Remember, one Spiritual Source a year. If you encounter any problems, you can come to me. As my friends, anyone who dares bully you is my enemy!”

The four Saint Venerables exchanged glances, and in this moment, they finally felt a bit of happiness. At least their Spiritual Source investment yielded a return. With Su Yang protecting them, they no longer feared trouble from other Saint Venerables.

After the four Saint Venerables left, Su Yang immediately took out the Round Disc to raid the household of the slain Saint Venerable, acquiring a large cache of treasures.
