73: Chapter 73 Who sent you?

The Chen family was desperate and, to keep this huge sum of money, directly sent top assassins to silence him?

No.

Something felt wrong.

Su Yu silently denied it in his heart.

Even if the Chen family were foolish, it was impossible for them to make a move at this critical juncture.

Vice Principal Nie Changkong was a Martial Emperor powerhouse after all.

Killing the special-class freshman he personally appointed right under his nose was tantamount to slapping the entire Capital Martial Arts University in the face.

As long as the Chen family was not insane, they would never dare to do such a thing.

Since it was not the Chen family, then who was it?

In the air, there was not even a trace of a breeze.

But Su Yu's Martial King-tier Mental Energy, like ubiquitous mercury, unmistakably captured the anomaly in the shadows of the living room.

Beneath the floor-to-ceiling window curtains less than eight meters to his left.

There was an exceptionally blurry shadow slowly writhing.

The shadow seemed to have merged into the darkness, with no breath, no heartbeat, and not even the slightest fluctuation of blood Qi leaking out.

The Killing Intent was restrained to the extreme.

If Su Yu had not just elevated his Mental Energy to the Martial King Realm, any Great Grandmaster, or even an ordinary Martial Spirit, would have been utterly unable to detect this level of stealth secret technique!

The opponent was an astonishingly professional assassin.

"Since you are here."

"Why bother hiding?"

Su Yu's calm voice rang out abruptly in the quiet living room.

In the shadows.

That writhing shadow suddenly stiffened.

Discovered?!

How is that possible!

Monstrous waves instantly surged within Shadow Blade's heart.

He was the ace assassin of the Abyss Cult in Kyoto, a Great Grandmaster with a blood Qi value as high as six hundred thousand!

The stealth technique he Cultivated was a top-tier secret technique within the cult.

Once unleashed, even a Martial Spirit with one million blood Qi might not be able to see through his whereabouts.

How could a freshman from Jiangcheng with only a thousand blood Qi value detect his existence in advance?!

Shadow Blade held his breath, remaining motionless.

However.

Su Yu's gaze fell with pinpoint precision upon the shadow where he was hiding.

Those transparent and profound eyes seemed to see through all disguises, piercing straight into his Soul.

It was not a bluff!

He was truly discovered!

Although Shadow Blade was shocked, he was, after all, a veteran top-tier assassin.

Since his whereabouts were exposed, he would strike directly!

There was no need for any nonsense or explanation at all!

Boom!

The shadows were instantly torn apart.

A lean figure enveloped in tight black attire shot out directly from the void like an arrow leaving the bowstring!

The speed was fast to the node!

Dragging a long black afterimage through the air.

The terrifying explosive power of six hundred thousand blood Qi was displayed to the fullest at this moment.

Shadow Blade snorted coldly.

In his hand, he gripped a specially made short dagger of a dull gray color.

Carrying a piercing, shrill whistle that tore through the air.

He thrust straight for Su Yu's fatal throat vitals!

So fast!

Su Yu's pupils contracted slightly.

Such assassination skills, such explosive speed.

Absolutely surpassed anyone he had seen before.

That so-called Prodigy Chen Feng was not even worthy of carrying this assassin's shoes.

Facing this fatal blow.

Su Yu did not retreat or dodge.

Nor did he use the Form-Manifesting Spear Intent that had just undergone Fusion with Mental Energy.

He just sat quietly in place.

He raised his right hand.

His index and middle fingers pressed together.

The Supreme Void Tyrant Body was activated instantly!

Facing that dagger radiating a fatal sharpness, he directly pinched it!

Clang——!

An exceptionally crisp sound of metal clashing resounded boomingly within the spacious living room.

Sparks flew in all directions.

That special dagger, sufficient to pierce high-tier alloy, was firmly pinched between Su Yu's two fingers.

Unable to advance even a fraction of an inch further!

A trace of incredulous panic flashed across Shadow Blade's eyes.

Catching a bare blade with empty hands?!

And the one he caught was the full-force blow of a six-hundred-thousand-blood-Qi Great Grandmaster?!

But an assassin's instinct made him react instantly.

Shadow Blade let out a beast-like low roar in his throat.

His wrist shook violently.

Six hundred thousand blood Qi erupted with a boom, transforming into an exceptionally sharp Protective Aura, which slid along the blade's edge and slashed directly at Su Yu's fingers!

Slash!

From Su Yu's fingers came a trace of an extremely faint stinging pain.

The incomparably sharp Great Grandmaster Protective Aura had actually forcefully cut open the surface skin defense of his Supreme Void Tyrant Body!

A drop of dark red crystalline blood, as viscous as liquid mercury.

Slowly seeped out from the broken skin.

In the air, a terrifying blood Qi, heavy enough to suffocate people, instantly permeated.

However.

The very next second after this drop of blood seeped out.

The flesh at the wound twitched slightly.

Healing instantly!

Not even a trace of the tiniest white mark was left behind.

As if the broken skin just now was merely an illusion.

Inside the living room.

It fell into a death-like silence.

Shadow Blade maintained the posture of holding the knife and thrusting forward, his entire body completely freezing in place.

Beneath the hood.

Those eyes flashing with dim green light were filled at this moment with endless panic, bewilderment, and collapse.

What the hell?!

What did he see?!

His own proud, absolute kill blow.

The full-force eruption of a six-hundred-thousand-blood-Qi Great Grandmaster.

Coupled with the specially made Qi-breaking dagger.

Actually...

Only punctured a tiny bit of the opponent's skin?!

Moreover.

What on earth was going on with that drop of dark red crystalline blood that flowed out?!

"You..."

Shadow Blade's voice trembled violently, staring fixedly at the calm youth before him as if seeing a ghost.

He was dumbfounded!

Is this fucking called one thousand blood Qi?!

Weren't you supposed to be a freshman in your first year?!

With this Physical Body defense force, let alone one thousand blood Qi.

Even if a Martial Spirit with one million blood Qi stood here, they wouldn't dare to hard-receive his Qi-breaking dagger with bare hands!

The intelligence had a problem!

Inside the Abyss Cult, there were bad people!

There was definitely a mole!

This was wanting to kill with a borrowed knife and making him come here to throw his life away!

Su Yu looked at that drop of already dried dark red bloodstain on his finger.

It actually breached his defense?

Within his profound eyes, a trace of coldness flashed.

He also realized the assassin's strength.

If he had not just consumed ten million years of cultivation base to deduce the Taixu Source Blood Art to the Great Perfection Realm and forge the Supreme Void Tyrant Body.

If he hadn't compressed one million blood Qi tenfold into crystalline blood.

That knife just now.

Even if he didn't die, these two fingers of his definitely wouldn't have been saved.

This assassin was extremely strong.

At least a Great Grandmaster with over one hundred thousand blood Qi!

Since that was the case.

Then he even more so could not let him run away.

"Since you've already come."

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave."

Su Yu slowly raised his head, and within those completely transparent eyes reflected Shadow Blade's terrified face.

Boom!

There was no eruption of blood Qi.

Nor did he use any Martial Skill.

There was only a formless and imageless, yet vast as a vast sea, Martial King-tier Mental Energy.

Like the Milky Way of the Nine Heavens pouring backward, it instantly descended upon Shadow Blade's head!

Crack! Crack!

Under the squeezing of this terrifying Mental Energy, the air around Shadow Blade directly emitted continuous, unbearable booming noises!

"Ah——!!!"

Shadow Blade let out an extremely shrill scream.

He felt as if his brain had been heavily struck by an invisible giant hammer weighing ten thousand tons.

His Soul felt as if it was about to be torn into countless fragments in this instant!

Bang!

In just one second.

Shadow Blade's knees heavily smashed onto the hard alloy floor.

The huge impact directly smashed two deep depressions into the bulletproof-grade floor.

His entire person was suppressed tightly to the ground by Su Yu's Mental Energy.

Prostrating completely.

Unable to move even a single finger.

This was still because Su Yu intentionally retained a portion of his power.

Otherwise.

That Mental Energy impact just now could have directly shaken Shadow Blade's Sea of Consciousness into an idiot's paste, instantly killing him.

Capture alive.

Only then could he ask who the mastermind behind the scenes was.

"Speak."

Su Yu looked down condescendingly at the assassin kneeling and prostrating on the ground.

His tone was calm, yet it exuded a bone-chilling chill.

"Who sent you here?"
