158: Section 158

And step-by-step training is clearly too slow; now, the only way out is to take a risk.

"I can agree to your terms, but you must also agree to one of mine! Otherwise, even if we both perish, I will not let you succeed!"

Facing the scorching temperature of the branding iron, Chu Xingyu finally compromised.

Chapter 143: Commander of Shenwei Camp

After all, if he didn't compromise, his little brother would be cooked through in a moment, which was even more cruel than losing his life.

"I need to arrange for my family to go abroad first. Only after they are safe will I hand over the military seal of the Shenwei Camp to you."

The Shenwei Camp recognizes the military seal, not the person. Not to mention Chu Xingyu, even the military commander Xiao Potian, without the military seal, cannot command the Shenwei Camp.

Chu Xingyu had paid a huge price to control this unit, and this was his biggest reliance as a deputy commander to dare to go against the commander.

"Alright, but my patience is limited. I'll only give you two hours. Once two hours are up, I must see the military seal!"

Su Yuan pondered for a moment, then agreed to Chu Xingyu's terms. With that, Su Yuan waved his hand and untied the ropes that were binding Chu Xingyu. Now that Chu Xingyu had lost all his cultivation, Su Yuan wasn't afraid of him playing any tricks.

Picking up the phone from the table and glancing at the time, Su Yuan handed the phone to Chu Xingyu.

Chu Xingyu took the phone and didn't play any tricks. He honestly called his family, instructing them to go abroad immediately. Facing his family's confusion, Chu Xingyu didn't explain anything, just repeated it solemnly.

Then Chu Xingyu hung up the phone and waited quietly.

An hour passed in a flash... "Ding-a-ling."

Chu Xingyu's phone rang. Seeing this, he quickly answered the call.

Learning that everyone in his family was already in the waiting lounge for their flight, Chu Xingyu's hanging heart finally settled.

Then Chu Xingyu dialed a number.

"What is it, Master?"

A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Bring the military seal of the Shenwei Camp here, to my current location. Remember, be quick!"

When he said the word 'quick,' Chu Xingyu deliberately emphasized his tone a little.

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, "Okay, I'll bring the military seal right away. Master, don't worry, I'll be very quick!"

As soon as the call ended, Su Yuan took the phone to check it. After confirming there was nothing, Su Yuan placed the phone on the table.

"You're sensible. Don't worry, as long as I get the military seal later, I'll let you go. You can reunite with your family and enjoy your retirement. You're old enough, why not retire?"

Su Yuan looked at the somewhat nervous Chu Xingyu and offered words of comfort. The military seal hadn't arrived yet, so he still needed to keep Chu Xingyu calm.

"Heh heh, I really should retire. Indeed, the new waves push the old waves forward, and the old waves die on the beach."

Chu Xingyu laughed self-deprecatingly. He didn't blame anyone for all that had happened, only his own moment of carelessness.

Otherwise, with Su Yuan's strength, how could he have taken him down?

After Chu Xingyu finished speaking, a dead silence fell between the two, with only faint breathing sounds in the entire room.

"Thump thump thump... thump thump."

A slightly hurried knock on the door broke the silence.

"Master, I've brought the military seal."

The familiar hoarse voice came. Su Yuan gave Chu Xingyu a warning look, then gestured for him to open the door.

Chu Xingyu immediately got up to open the door. However, Su Yuan didn't notice that a hint of joy flashed in Chu Xingyu's eyes as he turned his back to him.

"Creak."

The wooden door opened, emitting a somewhat harsh sound.

Outside the door stood a Man in Black, whose entire body, except for his mouth and eyes, was tightly wrapped.

In this hot summer, if he walked outside, he would probably be secretly cursed as a lunatic.

With a single look from Chu Xingyu, the Man in Black immediately understood, and their positions instantly swapped.

A cold glint appeared, and two short daggers materialized in the Man in Black's hands. Without a moment's thought, he lunged at Su Yuan.

"You're courting death!"

Even though Su Yuan was prepared, he was still shocked by the tacit speed of the two. Little did he know, Chu Xingyu and the Man in Black's motto had existed for decades, and it was simply the word 'quick.'

Su Yuan and the Man in Black instantly clashed, and the small room quickly became fragmented and precarious, not far from collapsing.

Meanwhile, Chu Xingyu ran towards the outside, where dozens of burly men in tactical vests, fully armed, were poised and ready.

Chu Xingyu held a semi-transparent jade stone in the shape of a light red fierce tiger, raising it high above his head.

"Shenwei Camp, listen to my command, fire at the small room!"

"Yes, sir!"

The members of the Shenwei Camp all accepted the order. Regardless of who was inside the small room, dozens of people instantly coordinated, and in the blink of an eye, several large cannons were assembled.

"Fire!"

As Chu Xingyu gave the order, the massive muzzles erupted with deafening roars, and the ground trembled slightly in response.

Danger!!!

Su Yuan's right eyelid twitched wildly. He had no desire to continue fighting the already heavily injured Man in Black. Su Yuan's mouth twisted to the side, and his speed instantly increased significantly as he dashed out of the small room.

Seeing this, the Man in Black hadn't even had time to breathe a sigh of relief when a cannonball passed through the hole created by their fight and landed at his feet.

"Damn it!!!"

The Man in Black tried to run, but the cannonball gave him no time, exploding instantly.

"Boom... Boom..."

After two rounds of artillery bombardment, the small dark room no longer existed, having been reduced to ashes.

"Hahahaha, Su Yuan, you're still a bit lacking when you try to contend with me, Chu Xingyu! Go to hell and repent!"

Chu Xingyu laughed wildly, showing no sadness for the death of a loyal subordinate.

"Is that so? Too bad your plan fell through."

As soon as his voice fell, a figure attacked like a ghost.

Even though the Shenwei Camp members resisted with all their might, it was futile.

Before long, Su Yuan had already appeared before Chu Xingyu.

Looking at the military seal in Chu Xingyu's hand, Su Yuan reached out, about to snatch it. Just then, a massive golden palm print attacked from the side.

Su Yuan didn't have time to snatch the tiger tally. His intuition told him that if he didn't dodge, he would either die or be severely injured, and it was this intuition that had saved him countless times.

Su Yuan didn't hesitate, flashing to dodge the giant golden palm. The giant palm continued its momentum, only stopping after hitting a large tree that two people could barely encircle.

"Crack."

Under this palm strike, the large tree was actually broken in half.

"Who are you?!"

Looking at the bald, muscular man, one meter ninety tall, in front of him, Su Yuan's expression was solemn.

"Commander of the Shenwei Camp, Song Xian."

Chapter 144: Su Yuan's Outburst

"Excellent, Song Xian, take him down!"

Seeing the newcomer, Chu Xingyu's face lit up with joy. Song Xian's strength had almost reached the limit of a Grandmaster. He had already comprehended half a step of true intent and was only one step away from breaking through to Martial King.

With Song Xian present, plus the dozens of members of the Shenwei Camp, Chu Xingyu believed that taking down Su Yuan was a sure thing.

Song Xian heard Chu Xingyu's words but didn't respond. He just looked at Su Yuan with a serious expression. The opponent in front of him was no weaker than him, and he had to go all out to have a chance of winning.

Seeing the tension between the two, Chu Xingyu slowly retreated a distance for safety.

"Song Xian, is it? Are you going to be the one to step forward today?"

Su Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at Song Xian, his tone calm.

"Lord Chu Xingyu has been kind to me. If you retreat today, I can pretend this never happened. Otherwise, this day next year will be your death anniversary!"

Song Xian replied in a booming voice.

He wasn't confident in Su Yuan's strength either. If Su Yuan could retreat now, Song Xian didn't want to fight him to the death.

When one's strength reached a certain level, they tended to cherish their lives more. They were already high above others, so why engage in life-threatening endeavors?

Chu Xingyu remained silent. Now that his strength had vanished, he would need to rely on Song Xian in the future, so he naturally wouldn't question Song Xian's decision.

"Since that's the case, then let's have a fight."

Su Yuan assumed a stance, just about to attack, but unexpectedly, Song Xian took a few steps back. Immediately, dozens of automatic rifles were aimed at Su Yuan.

Countless bullets, accompanied by muzzle flashes, shot out. Su Yuan circulated his True Qi, dodging left and right, evading the bullets.
