Supreme Warrior in the City

The elder chuckled lightly, ”Thank you for worrying, young brother. However, even if the item isn’t with you, after I kill you, I can still use the Soul Searching Technique to probe your memories thoroughly. There won’t be a lack of clues!”

Su Yang was secretly startled, yet his expression remained composed and scornfully said, ”You want to use the Soul Searching Technique against me? Humph, you should know how difficult it is to probe someone else’s memories using the Soul Searching Technique!”

”Difficult or not depends mainly on strength!” the elder replied, ”The Soul Searching Technique can only be used if you are one realm higher. Of course, that’s the most basic condition. Being one realm higher only allows forced use, hence it feels very difficult. In fact, if the realm difference is more, then it’s not difficult. Young man, no matter what, you haven’t reached the Earth-level realm, whereas I am at the peak of the Earth-level realm. Our gap is more than just a realm or two. For me to use the Soul Searching Technique on you, haha, that’s too easy!”

Su Yang felt anxious inside, having been pondering over what strength this elder had. Now it seemed clear that the elder’s strength was truly terrifying. The peak of the Earth-level—how strong is that!

Yet, Su Yang feigned disdain on the surface, ”Peak of Earth-level? Tsk tsk, you’ve followed the First God for so many years, how did you cultivate? After all these years, you are only at the peak of Earth-level. Don’t you feel ashamed? Didn’t the First God teach you how to cultivate?”

”Of course, my master taught me cultivation, but in the ancient battle, I was seriously injured and have not recovered yet.” The elder sighed, ”I also know my current state of peak Earth-level brings shame to my master. However, even if it costs my life, I will not delay my master’s important matters. Young man, I don’t want to kill, just hand over the thing to me. There’s no need for us to make things difficult for each other, isn’t that better?”

Su Yang was secretly shocked. He was actually testing this elder to see if his actual strength was just this, or if it had declined due to injury. Thus, he could infer the strength of the First God.

Now it seems that the strength of the First God is really beyond Su Yang’s ability to gauge!

At this moment, the Chaos Sparrow on Su Yang’s shoulder lightly pecked him.

Su Yang felt a surge of joy, as the Chaos Sparrow had found a way out. He dared not communicate directly, only gave a glance to the three Crystal Skulls, raised his head, and said loudly, ”Old sir, since you’ve said it like that, then I shall give you the item. But, I have to ask, can your words be trusted?”

”Old sir’s word is his bond!” the elder responded proudly, ”If I were to lie, wouldn’t it shame my master? Such a thing old sir wouldn’t do!”

”Old sir, this is our first meeting; how do I know if you’re deceiving me or not?” Su Yang contemplated for a moment and said, ”Let’s do it this way, you step back a bit, and I will leave the item here for you. That way, I can feel a bit secure, and you can get the item smoothly—how do you feel about that?”

The elder smiled lightly, ”Young man, let me advise you first. If you deceive old sir, then old sir won’t be courteous to you later!”

Though Su Yang was slightly flustered inside, his gaze remained unchanged as he laughed, ”Old sir, how could I possibly deceive you? Even if I wanted to deceive you, I’d need the talent to do so! You talk of your strength; the gap between us is so vast; if I deceived you, what could I possibly achieve?”

The elder disclosed a smile, ”Old sir retreats first; I hope you won’t let me down!”

With that, the elder stepped back and was gone in an instant.

Su Yang didn’t foresee the elder being so easygoing, retreating just like that. He was actually trying to trick the elder, seizing the opportunity of the elder’s relaxation to make an escape.

Resulting, the elder retreating directly handed him a better opportunity.

Though still anxious inside, Su Yang swiftly patted the Chaos Sparrow.

The little creature had long been ready, promptly taking to the air, pecking twice, directly creating a breach before everyone.

”Run!” Su Yang muttered, charging ahead first, closely followed by the three Crystal Skulls.

But as they reached this breach, an intangible beam blocked them instantly. Subsequently, the breach swiftly merged and vanished instantly.

The elder’s voice echoed from afar, ”Young man, you are quite ungracious!”

Su Yang was bewildered—this was a breach in chaos, yet the elder could even control chaos? The peak Earth-level strength was truly terrifying?

”Quick, open another one!” Su Yang hurriedly told the Chaos Sparrow.

The Chaos Sparrow was panicked, extending its long beak and trying hard to break through. However, this time no matter how hard it tried, it couldn’t open the chaos breach, its long beak seemingly entirely ineffective.

Now even the Chaos Sparrow was bewildered—such an occurrence it had never experienced before!

”What’s going on?” Su Yang asked anxiously.

”No need to struggle!” The elder appeared before them again, his expression slightly irate, ”This area of chaos is already sealed; even the Chaos Sparrow can’t break it; you can’t escape!”

”You...how did you do it...” Su Yang asked in shock, ”Can the peak Earth-level control Chaos? I’ve never heard of such a thing!”

”The peak Earth-level certainly cannot control Chaos. But I have a pet!” The elder lightly waved his hand, a tiny worm flying out from his sleeve.

Su Yang took a glance; it was a Chaos Worm, or rather, a mini Chaos Worm. Its size was about the same as a loach and wasn’t conspicuous at all. Compared to the Chaos Worms Su Yang had seen before, it was a complete world apart!

”I was wondering what it was, turns out to be a Chaos Worm!” The Second City Lord said disdainfully, ”Such a small Chaos Worm, and you have the nerve to take it out and expose yourself? Little Sparrow, go over and snatch that worm, eat it!”

The Chaos Sparrow didn’t react, rather shrinking back behind Su Yang. It was clearly apprehensive.

The elder glanced at the Second City Lord, lightly sighed, ”Seems your previous life’s memories have barely recovered, you don’t recognize Little Green?”

”What’s with Little Green or Little Flower?” The Second City Lord glared, ”Even if my previous life’s memories returned, I wouldn’t remember a little worm!”

”It is not just a little worm!” The elder reached out his hand, and the Chaos Worm flew directly to his palm. The elder gazed at the Chaos Worm, murmuring, ”It is the sole surviving bloodline of the Chaos Insect Royal Family and the king of all Chaos Worms!”
