Supreme Warrior in the City

Ling Feng slightly frowned and casually glanced at Su Yang, in fact observing Su Yang’s expression.

Meanwhile, Su Yang looked uncomfortable, avoiding eye contact with Ling Feng and turning his head to the side. It seemed as if Su Yang was lying.

”How long did it take you to kill him?” Ling Feng asked again.

Su Yang feigned anger: ”Do you really need to ask in such detail?”

”Sorry, this is the Guardian God’s order.” Ling Feng shrugged: ”The Guardian God suspects that Wu Ke secretly learned the Guardian God’s ultimate skill, so we need to determine from the time you killed him whether he did it!”

Su Yang felt disdain in his heart; these words were totally deceitful. In fact, Ling Feng’s questions were to test Su Yang further, to verify whether he was lying.

However, these guardians are indeed ruthless. Wu Ke is dead, and yet they fabricate such accusations against him just to extract these secrets; it’s truly heartless!

Su Yang randomly gave a time, intending to make Ling Feng think he was lying. Naturally, he didn’t mention a normal time.

After hearing the time Su Yang mentioned, a barely noticeable sneer flashed across Ling Feng’s mouth, but Su Yang caught it.

Without a doubt, Ling Feng was convinced that Su Yang was lying.

They were well aware of Wu Ke’s strength; naturally, they could tell how long it should take for Su Yang to kill him. So, the time Su Yang stated was totally off—completely false.

”Lord Jiushi, when you killed Wu Ke, did anything unusual happen?” Ling Feng finally asked the main question. Once he confirmed that Su Yang was lying, he saw no need for further pretense.

Su Yang appeared visibly nervous, his eyes widening: ”What... what unusual things?”

”For instance, when you were going to kill someone, did anything suddenly happen to Wu Ke’s body?” Ling Feng asked with a smile.

”No... nothing...” Su Yang hurriedly replied: ”Killing someone—what could happen? He wasn’t my match and died by my hand, at most trying to resist!”

”Is that so?” Ling Feng stared at Su Yang with a faint smile, as if he had seen through him.

Su Yang was flustered and lost, and suddenly burst out angrily: ”What... what exactly are you here for? Do you intend to insult the Demon Beast Clan? I’m telling you, if you continue to disrespect the Demon Beast Clan, don’t blame me for being rude. I allowed you here to investigate out of respect, but don’t think you can freely humiliate us!”

”Hahaha...” Ling Feng laughed, then his voice turned cold: ”If I humiliate you, what can you do? You’re just a beast; you really think you can confront the Guardian God?”

”How dare you speak like this?” Su Yang’s eyes widened, filled with shock.

”Speak like what?” Ling Feng said coldly: ”Hmph, that’s exactly how I speak; do you have a problem with that?”

”How dare you insult the Demon Beast Clan?” Su Yang flared up in anger, standing up: ”Do you believe I won’t immediately notify Jinghong Saint King...”

”Go ahead, notify Jinghong Saint King!” Ling Feng said coldly: ”It would be good for Jinghong Saint King to come over, so you can explain to it clearly how Wu Ke died!”

”What... what do you mean?” Su Yang appeared flustered, seemingly guilty.

”You know full well!” Ling Feng sneered: ”Did you really kill Wu Ke?”

Su Yang was stunned for a moment before responding in a panic: ”Of course... of course I killed him...”

”What a good liar you are!” Ling Feng stood up, speaking coldly: ”Commander Wu Ke’s strength was indeed inferior to yours. However, for you to say you could kill him in that time—it’s simply impossible. Moreover, before Wu Ke died, he triggered the power left in him by the Guardian God. This power was something even the Saint Emperor couldn’t stop; are you saying that nothing special happened before he died? Does that mean you’re stronger than the Saint Emperor?”

”This...” Su Yang was dumbfounded, as if his lie had been exposed, and he slumped into the chair, speechless for a long time.

”Everything you’ve said is a lie. Commander Wu Ke wasn’t killed by you; he didn’t die by your hand!” Ling Feng said coldly: ”If I report this, what do you think your outcome will be? How long do you think you’ll live?”

Su Yang shivered all over, looked up at Ling Feng, and said tremulously: ”What do you really want? I didn’t kill him, so... so you shouldn’t be troubling me... If you want revenge, I’m not the one to find!”

”You’ve finally admitted it!” Ling Feng sneered: ”Good, since you’ve admitted it, we can have a proper chat. Don’t worry, as long as you cooperate, I’ll keep this matter confidential for you. Your secrets won’t be exposed, and the Demon Beast Clan won’t know your true nature. You can continue to be a hero to the Demon Beast Clan; do you understand my meaning?”

Su Yang looked at Ling Feng for a long while, then gritted his teeth: ”How can I trust you?”

”I swear in the name of the Guardian God!” Ling Feng said solemnly: ”As long as you answer us truthfully, then I assure you, your affairs will not be exposed. Otherwise, I would bring shame upon the Guardian God!”

Seeing Su Yang still hesitant, Ling Feng added coldly: ”For us, swearing in the name of the Guardian God is the highest vow. If we break that vow, it would bring disgrace to the Guardian God. At that time, even the Guardian God wouldn’t let us off. If you can’t even trust this, then we’ll have to part ways!”

Su Yang thought for a moment, then slowly nodded: ”Okay, what do you want to know?”

”It’s simple; I want to know how Wu Ke really died!” Ling Feng asked solemnly.

”This, I... I really don’t know...” Su Yang replied helplessly.

”Don’t know?” Ling Feng asked coldly: ”Are you planning not to cooperate with us?”

”No, I... I want to cooperate, but I really don’t know how he died!” Su Yang said anxiously: ”After he died, we entered the place where he was held and found... found that he seemed to have died from self-detonation. Even the Beast Tamer locked up with him was killed by the explosion of this power. But... this is strange; why would he self-detonate? At that time, we didn’t plan to kill him, so why would he do this?”

Listening to this, Ling Feng was inwardly pleased. This situation completely matched the condition when Wu Ke died. Only with a self-detonation like that could the power of the Guardian God be released; this proved that Su Yang wasn’t lying about this part!
