9: Chapter 9 Murder and Burial

In the dim rental apartment, the smell of blood and sweat mingled together.

Su Yu stood in place and transferred the money to his phone.

Without hesitation, he switched directly back to that black "Black Gold IOU" app.

He clicked repayment.

Two loans.

A total of 11,000 yuan was deducted.

[Repayment successful, current debt: 0 yuan.]

As this notification popped up, Su Yu felt the small stone pressing on his heart shatter completely.

With no debts, he felt light.

There was still 242,000 yuan left in his card.

This was a huge sum of money, an amount of cash he had never seen in his two lifetimes combined.

"System."

Su Yu called out in his mind, "Continue topping up Qi and Blood value."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly shut his mouth.

No.

Su Yu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the urge to pay-to-win that had just surged up.

His Qi and Blood value had already reached a terrifying 1,000 points, officially stepping into the Martial Master Realm.

In a small place like Jiangcheng, an eighteen-year-old Martial Master was as dazzling as a searchlight in the dark night.

It was too high-profile.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

Before having the absolute ability to protect himself, an excessively high Qi and Blood value was not a protective amulet, but rather a death warrant!

Moreover.

Su Yu glanced at the System panel at the edge of his vision.

As long as he had money, he could exchange it for cultivation at any time.

This was completely a "super battery" that he could carry around with him.

Usually, he would keep the money in his hands and develop in a low-profile manner.

If he really encountered an enemy he couldn't beat, or when he needed to burst out and show his strength.

He would pay-to-win on the spot!

Can't beat you? I'll level up right on the spot!

This was the most unsolvable way to use the System.

"Keep the money for now."

Su Yu turned off his phone screen and cast his gaze toward the three people lying on the floor.

Lao Mo's sternum was shattered, and he was taking more breaths in than out, already on the verge of death.

The yellow-haired man and the fatty had been knocked unconscious by his hand strike, sleeping like dead pigs.

How to deal with them?

Call the police?

Su Yu sneered in his heart.

Although the laws of the Great Xia Kingdom were strict, they depended on who you were.

Zhao Ze was a famous rich second-generation in Jiangcheng, with family assets over 100 million and martial arts halls all over the city.

If he handed these three people over to the City Defense Bureau, the Zhao family had ten thousand ways to suppress the matter, and at most, they would just find a scapegoat to go to jail for a few years.

And he, Su Yu, would not only expose his Qi and Blood value far exceeding 0.8, but also completely enrage the Zhao family.

What would greet him would be the Zhao family's endless, crazy retaliation.

He might not even be able to safely walk into the exam hall for the college entrance exam in three days.

In this high-martial world where the weak are prey to the strong, kindness was the greatest cruelty to oneself.

Since Zhao Ze wanted to break his legs and ruin his life.

Then he didn't need to hold back either.

Su Yu's eyes instantly became cold and biting, like the ice of deep winter.

He walked over to Lao Mo.

Without the slightest hesitation.

He lifted his foot and stepped precisely on Lao Mo's throat.

He exerted a little force.

"Crack."

An extremely faint crisp sound.

Lao Mo's body twitched violently, then went completely limp, and there was no sound anymore.

Then it was the yellow-haired man.

Finally, the fatty.

Three crisp sounds, clean and neat, without making any extra noise.

Su Yu's expression did not change at all from beginning to end.

Having lived two lifetimes, added to the powerful state of mind brought by the Martial Master Realm, made him as calm as a precision killing machine at this moment.

Killing was just the first step.

What was more important was — destroying the bodies and eliminating the evidence.

Su Yu pulled out three large woven bags from under the bed that were usually used for holding waste.

He stuffed the three corpses into them separately.

They felt extremely light in his hands.

For ordinary people, moving three adult male corpses was an extremely difficult task.

But for a Martial Master with a Qi and Blood value as high as 1,000 points, the weight of these three corpses was no different from three bags of cotton.

Su Yu picked up the three woven bags with one hand.

He pushed open the window.

In the deep night of the old city, there wasn't even a ghost in sight, and the surveillance cameras had been broken for years.

Like a night cat blending into the darkness, he slipped out the window silently.

His legs exerted force suddenly!

Boom!

The ground was stepped into two shallow pits, and Su Yu's whole body was like a cannonball leaving the barrel, instantly disappearing into the night.

The speed was too fast!

He even left a blurred afterimage in the air!

Ten minutes later.

Western suburbs of Jiangcheng, abandoned landfill.

This was a famous no-man's-land in Jiangcheng, filled with a pungent stench all year round.

More importantly, a large number of wild dogs gathered here.

These wild dogs had been feeding on garbage containing weak radiation and scraps of exotic beast flesh for years; they were larger than ordinary wolves and extremely bloodthirsty.

Su Yu stood on the high point of the garbage mountain.

He casually pulled out the dagger from Lao Mo's waist.

He slashed a few cuts deep to the bone on each of the three corpses.

The rich smell of blood instantly spread in the night wind.

"Awoo—"

In the distance, a hair-raising howl immediately came.

In the darkness, pairs of ghostly green eyes lit up one after another.

Su Yu casually threw the three woven bags into the deepest garbage pit.

He turned around and leaped onto an abandoned concrete pillar.

He watched from above.

In less than half a minute, dozens of huge mutant wild dogs crazily pounced toward that garbage pit.

The sound of tearing.

The sound of chewing.

The tooth-aching sound of bones shattering.

Interwove into a cruel symphony in this silent wilderness.

Su Yu just stood there quietly.

Watching.

He stared for several hours.

Until those three corpses were gnawed until not a scrap of meat remained, and even the bones were chewed up and swallowed into the stomachs of those mutant wild dogs.

A complete disappearance from the world.

Even the most Advanced genetic detector of the City Defense Bureau could not extract any useful DNA from this pile of foul-smelling dog feces.

Su Yu leaped down from the concrete pillar.

He threw the blood-stained dagger in his hand, along with the three empty woven bags, forcefully into the bottomless toxic industrial wastewater pool in the distance.

"Glug."

A few bubbles welled up, and all traces were completely erased.

After doing all this.

On the horizon, a touch of fish-belly white had already appeared.

It was dawn.

Su Yu returned along the same path.

Returning to the rental apartment, he drew a bucket of clear water and carefully wiped the pool of blood Lao Mo had spat onto the floor three times.

Until there was not a trace of the smell of blood in the air.

"Gurgle—"

His stomach suddenly let out a thunderous protest.

The Physical Body of the Martial Master Realm consumed energy in a terrifying way.

Having tossed and turned all night, Su Yu felt he could eat a cow now.

He took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and pushed the door open to leave.

The breakfast stall at the street corner was already open.

"Boss, twenty baskets of soup dumplings, ten deep-fried dough sticks, and five bowls of soy milk."

Fifteen minutes later.

Su Yu rubbed his stomach, stood up, faced the morning sun, and stretched.

Next, it was time to get down to business.

Holding over 200,000 in his hand, he couldn't just keep it in the bank card earning interest.

Money was only true wealth when it was converted into strength.

It was not good to mess with the Qi and Blood value for the time being.

Then he could only put effort into martial arts.

Last night, he used 1,000 yuan to pay-to-win the Five Elements Fist to the Perfection Realm, and even comprehended the hidden energy of the Five Elements in One.

The power was indeed astonishing.

But the Five Elements Fist was, after all, just the most common, street-level trash in the Great Xia Kingdom.

The ceiling was too low.

When encountering real experts, or those disciples of noble families who mastered Advanced Martial Skills, a basic fist technique was simply not enough.

He needed more Advanced martial arts!

More lethal Martial Skills!

Half an hour later.

Su Yu stood in the center of Jiangcheng, in front of that magnificent building that looked like a steel fortress.
