574: Guan Yu's might subdues the demons! The bet between him and Yuan Ying!

"What's the nonsense? The Cult Revered Master has given the order to capture the Chief of Jixia Academy, regardless of Life and Death."

Chi Motongzi, carrying a weapon made from a leg bone, gave the command indifferently.

In an instant, the old Devils behind him stirred up a sky full of black mist, sweeping towards the cloud ship, instantly enveloping it!

"Even a Dao King can't withstand this Myriad Devil Array, hehe, this is a sure thing." Kuang You Laodao looked at the sky full of black mist and smiled sinisterly.

Inside the black mist, one couldn't see their hand in front of their face.

Situ Haoran and the other four had sharp glints in their eyes, vigilant of their surroundings.

Within the black mist, there were many old Devils of the Dao Source Realm, and even powerhouses of the Dao Lord Realm, putting immense pressure on the five of them.

Just then!

The neigh of a horse suddenly echoed from within the ship's cabin, startling Situ Haoran.

When did a horse get into the cabin?

Boom!

A Dao King-level pressure suddenly swept out, like a bomb exploding, instantly shattering the so-called Myriad Devil Array.

Many old Devils were sent flying, spewing blood into the Void Realm.

Visibility became clear!

Situ Haoran and the other four looked back at the cabin.

They saw a banner, which had appeared on top of the cabin at some unknown time, fluttering in the wind!

And beneath that large banner, stood a divine steed!

Upon the divine steed sat a handsome man in a green robe and Golden Armor, with a red face and ears!

"Is this the Chief?" Golden Cicada Buddha and the other three were stunned.

Didn't they say the Chief hadn't even reached the Dao Source Realm? Why would he suddenly reach the Dao Lord Realm, and even the Peak?

"Chief your sister, this isn't the Chief!"

Situ Haoran thought of Su Shengyuan's various magical abilities, and his heart gradually settled down.

"Bold bandits, how dare you disturb my Lord's sacred presence! You shall not be spared."

Boom! Boom!

The moment the words fell, Guan Yu's body suddenly erupted with terrifying waves of Qi, spreading in all directions.

Guan Yu squeezed his legs, and Red Hare neighed, leaping over the heads of Situ Haoran and the other four, charging towards the many old Devils in the Void Realm ahead.

With the Azure Dragon Saber in his hand, he raised and lowered it, and with a 'puchi' sound, dozens of Dao Source Realm old Devils were slain.

Red Hare moved through the vast army, and Guan Yu chopped left and right; one man and one horse were comparable to a thousand troops, and with just one charge, they slaughtered more than half of the old Devils.

Broken corpses fell from the Void Realm, and large amounts of fresh blood permeated the Void Realm!

Guan Yu, riding Red Hare, stood in the Void Realm, his majestic figure intimidating everyone!

It was simply too terrifying!

Not only Situ Haoran and the other four, but even the three well-informed and ruthless old Devils were frozen in place.

"Kill!"

Guan Yu launched another charge, heading towards the remaining Devil Heads.

These Devil Heads had been frightened out of their wits by Guan Yu and dared not stay any longer, immediately scattering like birds and beasts.

However, with Red Hare's enhancement, Guan Yu's speed was as fast as lightning; in just a moment, a blood mist once again permeated the Void Realm!

Violent Qi swept across the heavens and earth, and above the firmament, there were only roars and howls!

Guan Yu, astride Red Hare, narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked his two-foot-long beard with his left hand, and looked at the three old Devils, including Soul Refining Superior, who were still in a daze.

"My Lord has commanded: kill without mercy!"

Guan Yu let out a sharp cry, and the Void Realm seemed to echo with thunderous sounds.

Red Hare also neighed, its four hooves wildly stamping the Void Realm, charging towards Soul Refining Superior and the two other old Devils.

They were all at the Peak of the Dao Lord Realm, equivalent to Guan Yu's Realm.

However, they were not as powerful as Guan Yu!

With one charge, Red Hare landed in front of Soul Refining Superior.

As Red Hare's hooves lifted, Guan Yu also casually swung his hand backward, then brought it down suddenly.

The Azure Dragon Saber in his hand also exploded with a powerful slash.

Boom!

The Void Realm was directly torn apart by this terrifying Saber.

Soul Refining Superior finally recovered and brought his Soul Devouring Staff upwards to meet it.

As all his power erupted!

Boom!

When the Azure Dragon Saber landed on the Soul Devouring Staff, with a 'crack' sound, the Soul Devouring Staff instantly cracked.

And Soul Refining Superior, under this heavy force, directly plummeted downwards like a cannonball.

At the same time.

Chi Motongzi's bone staff landed behind Guan Yu.

Guan Yu turned and swung his Azure Dragon Saber!

Boom!

Chi Motongzi had no choice but to change his move, blocking with the bone staff in front of him.

However, under the immense force, Chi Motongzi also plummeted downwards like a cannonball.

The infamous Soul Refining Superior and Chi Motongzi actually couldn't withstand a single Saber strike from this red-faced monster.

This scene filled Kuang You Laodao's eyes with extreme fear!

Knowing the situation was bad, he immediately shouted to flee!

Then, trembling, he pulled out a Talisman, intending to escape through the Void Realm.

But the result!

Boom!

The Azure Dragon Saber smashed down, tearing the Void Realm apart once again; the Talisman in Kuang You Laodao's hand was instantly shattered by the terrifying Saber Qi.

And Kuang You Laodao was also cut in half by the sharp Saber blade; blood mist scattered everywhere, and the world completely quieted down.

However, Guan Yu did not stop; carrying the Azure Dragon Saber, he rushed towards the heavily injured Chi Motongzi and Soul Refining Superior.

This was simply a battle with vastly disparate strengths!

Guan Yu's few Saber strikes completely showed what it meant to be invincible among peers!

Situ Haoran and the other four stood on the deck, all stunned, their faces showing identical expressions of shock.

Guan Yu's battle seemed to open up another world for them!

It showed them what a crushing battle was like!

"What? Can't you handle this already?"

At some unknown point, Su Shengyuan stood on the deck, looking at Situ Haoran's inexperienced appearance, and chuckled.

Hearing Su Shengyuan's voice, the five immediately came back to their senses.

Situ Haoran looked at Su Shengyuan and asked, "Chief, who is that? How can he have such terrifying strength?"

"One of my followers, his strength is alright, just average!"

Su Shengyuan said calmly.

However, Situ Haoran could hear the underlying meaning of humble bragging!

Meanwhile, Golden Cicada Buddha and the other three scrutinized Su Shengyuan up and down.

Su Shengyuan's first impression on them was handsomeness, and the second was elegance!

But he didn't seem to match the person who shot those four terrifying arrows at all.

After all, in their impression, someone who could shoot such terrifying arrows must be a muscular powerhouse.

How could it be an elegant young man who looked like a scholar?

"You... are the Chief?"

Xu Baishu looked at Su Shengyuan and asked cautiously.

Su Shengyuan chuckled, "It's me, no doubt!"

Just as Su Shengyuan's words fell!

A Dao Source Realm Peak old Devil suddenly flashed out of the Void Realm, instantly charging towards Su Shengyuan.

His speed was extremely fast, so fast that Situ Haoran and the others couldn't react.

Su Shengyuan took a slight step, his gaze calm!

From the Human Emperor Banner floating above the cabin, surging energy descended.

Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist!

Hongmeng Overlord Body!

Boom! From his fist, terrifying energy erupted, and the Void Realm instantly collapsed into a black hole!

Su Shengyuan punched out, his fist print soaring across the sky!

Between heaven and earth, dull thunderous sounds raged.

"Explode!"

The old Devil who was rapidly charging suddenly froze in the Void Realm, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible..."

With a 'boom,' the old Devil's body suddenly exploded in the Void Realm, and a sky full of blood mist gushed out, permeating the Void Realm, constantly stimulating the minds of Xu Baishu and the other three.

From this punch, they felt the energy that had erupted from the arrows earlier.

So, this elegant young man really was the Chief who shot those four arrows?

Looking at Su Shengyuan's calm expression again.

Xu Baishu and the other three immediately realized the gap between themselves and Su Shengyuan.

It was laughable that they had previously wanted to challenge the Chief!

Such behavior now seemed truly childish!

"Greetings, Chief!"

After Xu Baishu and the other three recovered, they cupped their hands and bowed to Su Shengyuan, their faces filled with respect.

"No need for formalities! For the rest of the journey, I will have to trouble you all."

As Su Shengyuan's words fell, Guan Yu also returned on Red Hare, cupping his hands and bowing to Su Shengyuan.

"Reporting to my Lord, all enemies have been annihilated!"

"Go back!"

"..."

The cloud ship once again traversed the Void Realm.

However, this time, no force dared to intercept it again.

Upon a towering Peak!

Magnificent buildings stood there, surrounded by swirling clouds and flying cranes; this place was the famous Jixia Academy of the Eight Desolations.

"Finally home!"

Xu Baishu, Golden Cicada Buddha, and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

It was as if they had been reborn!

This journey was truly exhilarating; whether it was the four arrows shot by Su Shengyuan, or his punch that killed a Dao Source Realm old Devil, or that horse-riding man, they all made them feel like frogs in a well!

The cloud ship slowly landed in the Academy's plaza!

Many Disciples gathered around!

Su Shengyuan held Ye Mengyou's hand and walked off the cloud ship.

Situ Haoran snorted coldly, "What are you still standing there for? Why aren't you greeting the Chief?"

"Greetings, Chief!"

"Greetings, Chief!"

"..."

Respectful voices echoed throughout the entire Academy.

Su Shengyuan waved his hand casually, "No need for formalities."

Then, led by Situ Haoran, he walked towards a palace in front.

"Senior Brother, what was the result?"

"Yes, Senior Brother, didn't you go to test the Chief's strength?"

"..."

After Su Shengyuan left.

A group of Disciples surrounded Xu Baishu and the other three.

Meng Xinzhou and Xu Baishu were more talkative.

The scene at the time came to their minds.

They began to vividly describe it in words.

Not long after!

Gasps of cold air rang out one after another.

"Oh my goodness, the Chief is actually so terrifying?"

"Senior Brother Xu, are you listening to some fictional story? How could there be such an amazing Prodigy?"

"Nonsense, do you dare to question Senior Brother Xu's words? Brothers, beat him up!"

"..."

Inside the spacious palace, both sides were lined with bookshelves, filled with scrolls.

Su Shengyuan looked at a woman holding a wine pot, leaning against the steps in front, and chuckled, shaking his head.

"Revered Master, the Chief has arrived!"

Situ Haoran cupped his hands and bowed to the woman.

The woman waved her hand casually, and Situ Haoran immediately understood, then slowly exited the main hall.

"Let me introduce myself, I am Yuan Ying! I love drinking, I like men, I have no bad habits, and I don't peek at little boys bathing."

Yuan Ying's drunken appearance revealed a hint of seduction.

At the same time, Su Shengyuan also scrutinized Yuan Ying up and down!

A red dress highlighted her perfect figure.

Her hair was casually tied into a bun, with loose strands falling down!

This woman perfectly embodied uninhibitedness.

"The old man said that this Buddhism, you have to deal with it yourself!"

Yuan Ying slowly stood up, her clothes slipping from her shoulder, revealing her fair shoulder; she was truly cunning.

Su Shengyuan chuckled, "Who exactly is that old man, that Dao Ancestor?"

"I won't tell you!"

Yuan Ying smiled and said, "This Jixia Academy is your temporary dwelling. Within three years, destroy Buddhism! Do you have confidence?"

Su Shengyuan's lips curled slightly, "Within one month, Buddhism will be destroyed!"

Hearing Su Shengyuan say this, Yuan Ying's eyebrows immediately raised, and her tipsy, alluring demeanor also sobered up.

"One month? Is that true?" Yuan Ying asked with a surprised tone.

Su Shengyuan nodded, "How about we bet on something?"

"Alright, haha, let me tell you, I love to gamble the most. If it weren't for that old man restricting me, I would have already put Jixia Academy on the line."

Su Shengyuan: "..."

Didn't she say she had no bad habits?

This involves both drinking and gambling...

"Quick, quick, how do we bet?"

Yuan Ying became completely interested, circling Su Shengyuan twice.

What made Su Shengyuan curious was that there was no smell of alcohol on Yuan Ying's body; instead, there was a faint fragrance.

"Let's bet that I can destroy Buddhism within a month! What if you lose, and what if you win?" Su Shengyuan's tone was very confident.

Yuan Ying lowered her head in thought for a moment, then looked up and said, "If I win, you'll provide me with wine for life. Listen carefully, it's for life, okay? When I die, you don't have to provide it anymore, and you have to gamble with me once every three months."

Su Shengyuan chuckled upon hearing that, and asked, "Anything else?"

"No more. Tell me what you want me to do if I lose!" Yuan Ying looked at Su Shengyuan and winked.

If the Disciples outside saw this, they would surely think the sky had fallen.

After all, Yuan Ying was a very majestic presence in front of outsiders.

Su Shengyuan did not ponder and said, "If you lose, just give me a taste of Beauty Wine (Měirénjiǔ / Beauty Wine)!"

"Heh heh, so you're a little rascal. Alright, it's settled! Come on, let's seal it with a high-five, no going back. Whoever goes back is a little dog! Woof woof!"

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Su Shengyuan and Yuan Ying high-fived three times.

This bet was now established.

At this moment, Ye Mengyou, who was beside them, asked curiously, "What is Beauty Wine (Měirénjiǔ / Beauty Wine)?"
