Chapter 563: Severely Injuring Sun Xerong

Chapter 563: Severely Injuring Sun Xerong

January 25, 2025

Liu Xingwan's words had clearly struck a sensitive nerve in Sun Xerong.

She felt uncomfortable, and her mental state was on the verge of shattering.

But at this point, it was difficult for Sun Xerong to back down.

And Su Chen would not let her off easily; this matter had to be resolved.

The idea of putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot was just wishful thinking.

She had done so many evil deeds against him, even targeting his mother and younger sister.

How could he let this go?

Sun Xerong's refusal to accept the negotiation results only pleased Su Chen more.

Whether it was emotionally or logically, he had to take action.

The atmosphere immediately became tense.

With Sun Xerong's attitude, how could the negotiation continue?

However, Sun Xerong was ultimately a Transformation Realm expert, and none of the sects were truly determined to engage her in battle.

No one wanted their own Transformation Realm experts to get injured while fighting her.

"If there's nothing else to say, then let's end this today.

I'll move on to another city to avoid you all bothering me like those pesky insects.

Of course, if you want to fight me, you can.

You can even attack me right now.

But do you dare?"

Sun Xerong's words grew more arrogant, her face filled with smugness and an air of superiority.

In the crowd, Su Chen had already discarded his disguise.

He pushed through the crowd and strode towards the front of the City Lord's Mansion.

"I don't know about others, but I, Su Chen, dare to, and will definitely, take action against you."

Su Chen's sudden appearance shocked everyone present.

Liu Xingwan, now back to her senses, immediately shouted at Su Chen.

"Run! You're no match for her!"

No one expected Su Chen to appear out of nowhere.

Sun Xerong, who had been struggling to find Su Chen's location, had walked into her own trap.

Indeed, during Liu Xingwan's speech, Sun Xerong had already made her move.

A smile appeared on her face as she envisioned her bright future, not noticing that it was not Su Chen she was facing.

The others nearby also shouted warnings.

The Transformation Realm experts from several sects reacted a beat too late.

They hadn't expected Su Chen to appear, nor had they anticipated Sun Xerong's decisive attack.

From the back, the old woman from the Liu family also spoke up.

"Only capture him, don't injure him severely.

My young mistress still wants to fight him, did you hear that, Sun Xerong!"

The old woman directly addressed Sun Xerong by name and gave her instructions.

But Sun Xerong had no intention of listening to her.

She was sent by Fan Chengyan of Wuluan Mansion, and while the Liu family held significant influence, they were not closely related to Sun Xerong.

Her current task was to complete the mission assigned by Wuluan Mansion.

Other matters were not her concern.

The man sent by Wuluan Mansion had a face full of smiles.

Once today's matter was resolved, he could return and report to Fan Chengyan.

He really didn't want to keep wandering around Zhou Kingdom.

The ordinary onlookers surrounding them couldn't react in time.

They couldn't see Sun Xerong's movements clearly; to them, everything happened in a flash.

The power gap between ordinary people and Transformation Realm warriors was too vast for them to perceive with their limited vision.

From the perspective of others, this matter was coming to an end.

Su Chen was about to meet his demise.

The young warriors of Zhou Kingdom, who had been inspired by Su Chen, would witness his fall today.

Of course, this could also mark the beginning of Heaven Pole City's descent into madness.

The exceptional abilities Su Chen had displayed that day had overshadowed the top geniuses of the younger generation in Jin State.

He was Heaven Pole City's biggest and most important investment.

If Su Chen didn't fall, he might even lead Heaven Pole City to new heights in the future.

Some people had already started to sigh and lament for Su Chen in advance.

But all of this was intentional on Su Chen's part.

Transformation Realm experts had incredible survival abilities and control over their own bodies, far surpassing Fifth Rank practitioners.

If he had tried to sneak attack and injure her, Sun Xerong would have immediately noticed the disparity in strength.

To protect herself, Sun Xerong would have fled.

If she insisted on escaping, capturing her again would become difficult.

All actions would become conservative, making it hard to harm her.

But the situation was different now.

Sun Xerong believed she had the upper hand and could injure Su Chen in one move.

For Su Chen, her proactive attack would expose her vulnerabilities.

Only then would he have a real chance to severely injure her.

As Sun Xerong charged forward with her sword, a chilling aura seemed to freeze the air around her.

In Sun Xerong's judgment, Su Chen should have been directly suppressed by this sword technique.

Transformation Realm experts often displayed overwhelming dominance when dealing with weaker warriors.

Xue Rong's understanding was not wrong.

Indeed, it was the truth.

Before reaching the Transformation Realm, the top Sixth Rank Warriors of Jin State could easily defeat Fifth Rank Warriors.

But no one had ever heard of a Sixth Rank Warrior defeating a Transformation Realm expert.

The Transformation Realm was a significant divide, a vast chasm in strength!

Xue Rong was right before his eyes, and at this moment, Su Chen made his move.

The peerless long blade in his hand transformed into an insurmountable chasm.

The Nine Heavens Blade Technique, a technique that descends from the heavens, slays all injustices.

The Jade Heaven Blade Technique!

This was Su Chen's most powerful and overwhelming move.

The surrounding aura seemed to be swallowed by this single blade technique, leaving many feeling suffocated.

The dazzling silver light was blinding, giving off a sense of heavenly brilliance.

In this instant, Xue Rong finally reacted, and she finally understood why Su Chen didn't avoid her.

On the contrary, he dared to reveal himself today.

No matter how much she calculated, she could never have predicted that Su Chen had reached the Transformation Realm.

Moreover, Su Chen's Transformation Realm strength far surpassed her own.

With the Xuan Tian Dao Xin Jue as a foundation and the series of trials in Mr. Jingbo's secret realm,

All of this had shaped Su Chen into who he was today.

Xue Rong's Transformation Realm strength was no match for his own.

Additionally, Su Chen had also activated six Heavenly Fates at this moment.

The [Blade Master] Heavenly Fate greatly enhanced his blade skills, making it a leap in power.

This Jade Heaven Blade Technique even suppressed Xue Rong, preventing her from wielding the sword in her hand.

In their first exchange, Xue Rong's shoulder had already been pierced.

Su Chen had just severely injured Xue Rong, and he didn't dodge her attacks, either.

But under the suppression of the Jade Heaven Blade Technique, her sword technique had limited effect on him.

It merely caused his energy to surge, affecting his condition slightly.

Severely injured by this move, Xue Rong didn't even have time to see how Su Chen was doing now.

She began to flee without the slightest hesitation.

The top-tier life-saving ability of a Transformation Realm expert was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Killing a Transformation Realm expert was truly difficult.

But Xue Rong, who was in front of him, was definitely in pain, as that move had injured her badly.

The higher one stands, the more afraid they are of being hurt.

The stronger one's strength, the more troublesome it is when the body is injured.

That's why the Jade Essence Pill is highly praised by many, as it has miraculous effects in treating injuries.

Xue Rong's current injury, even without the need for a miracle cure, would require at least three to five years of rest.

Watching Xue Rong flee into the distance, Su Chen felt a bit regretful for letting her escape.

However, it was within his expectations.

After stepping into the Transformation Realm, Su Chen understood the power of this realm.

Even now, facing Fan Chengyan from Wuluan Mansion, he knew that she possessed life-saving abilities.

Just as Xue Rong fled today, Su Chen would have a hard time leaving in front of Fan Chengyan.

Calmly, Su Chen swallowed a Jade Essence Pill and suppressed the surging energy within him.

This battle ended with just one move.

In the eyes of many, they only saw Xue Rong fleeing, while Su Chen remained standing in the same spot.

Those who witnessed Su Chen's move couldn't help but whisper in astonishment, "Transformation Realm... Su Chen has reached the Transformation Realm."

The few people who had come with Xue Rong now had the most expressive faces.

Their expressions changed from shock to astonishment, and then from astonishment to panic.

A moment later, panic even turned into fear.

"Don't leave yet, stay a while.

Since you've come all the way here, why leave so quickly? Your Liu family has many requests, and now that I'm here, you can state them directly."

With a wave of Su Chen's hand, he directly stopped the old woman from the Liu family.

She had been arrogant a moment ago, but now her face turned pale.

She knew that Xue Rong wouldn't dare to harm her.

Xue Rong had the backing of Wuluan Mansion, and Wuluan Mansion wouldn't offend the Liu family.

But the Su Chen before her was different; he had a grudge with Wuluan Mansion.

He didn't care about the Liu family, either.

No matter how arrogant or rude she was, Xue Rong would endure it.

Su Chen was different.

Su Chen dared to confront Wuluan Mansion head-on and even made them suffer losses.

In this situation, Su Chen didn't care about her status.

"Your Martial Dao strength has improved rapidly, and my young miss is indeed inferior.

This old woman has seen the result, and I shall return to inform my young miss. Farewell."

The old woman from the Liu family wanted to leave after speaking.

But when her voice fell, she realized that her body seemed to be restrained, and she couldn't move.

This half-baked Transformation Realm expert had no chance against a true Transformation Realm warrior.

The powerful aura made her stagger.

The next moment, Su Chen swung his blade, piercing her chest.

Her body was far from possessing the strength of a Transformation Realm expert, and facing Su Chen's strike, this old woman from the Liu family had no way to defend against it.

Warriors were not immortal beings.

With her organs destroyed like this, there was no way she could survive.

The old woman from the Liu family had expected Su Chen to attack her, but she never imagined that he would take her life.

Speaking of which, her tragic end was not without reason.

Previously, during the Martial Dao competition in the rear of Heaven Pole City, she had attempted to assassinate Su Chen twice.

If not for Su Chen's vigilance, she would have severely injured him.

Of course, in such a situation, Su Chen would treat her as an enemy, and sparing her life was understandable.

However, she should never have followed Sun Xuerong to search for his mother and younger sister's whereabouts.

He could tolerate her targeting him, but if she aimed at his family, he would have no choice but to deal with her severely.

The old woman from the Liu family let out a chilling scream.

Even though she had reached this point and possessed such strength, the fear of death was still overwhelming.

No one could escape the grasp of death.

Su Chen paid no attention to the old woman from the Liu family; her life force had already been severed, and there was no more suspense.

With the old woman from the Liu family dead, the remaining two individuals were trembling all over.

Once the top genius of the Great Zhou, Fu Jianyun now looked utterly disheveled.

He no longer carried the air of a genius he once had.

Back in the Yunyang Sect, Su Chen couldn't even enter his sight.

But over the years, Su Chen's progress had become increasingly evident, far surpassing his expectations.

Not only had Su Chen surpassed him, but he had also stopped comparing himself to his peers.

Currently, Su Chen had already begun sparring with the elders of the Zhou Kingdom.

And it wasn't just sparring; if Sun Xuerong had been a little slower today, she would have lost her life.

Fu Jianyun had struggled for a long time to break through to the Fifth Rank.

But Su Chen had already taken another step forward, reaching the Transformation Realm before the age of thirty.

It didn't take long for the old woman from the Liu family's voice to fade away.

Nor did her wailing last long.

As Su Chen walked past her corpse, Fu Jianyun thought he would attack him or question him.

But Su Chen didn't even glance at him; he walked straight up to the person standing beside Sun Xuerong.

This person was sent by Wuluan Mansion to keep an eye on Sun Xuerong.

If Sun Xuerong had any requests, she could communicate them to Wuluan Mansion through this man.

He was the liaison between Sun Xuerong and Wuluan Mansion.

Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be of a certain age.

Warriors were usually much younger, and to have not entered the Transformation Realm at his age, he was likely in his sixties.

He was indeed of a certain age.

"Your name," Su Chen asked as he stood before him.

"Cui Yuan," he stammered, his forehead beaded with cold sweat.

"What position do you hold in Wuluan Mansion?"

Cui Yuan looked at Su Chen, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his fear.

He was still trying to find a way to survive.

"I'm Cui Yuan, a personal guard of Wuluan Mansion and the most trusted guard under Elder Fan."

He was trying to find value in himself, to find a reason for his existence.

The truthfulness of his words was uncertain at the moment, and Su Chen didn't care to find out.

"Who said the grudge with Wuluan Mansion has been settled? Did I ever agree to that?

Even if Fan Chengyan is willing, I will never let her off.

It's best you think of more reasons. If you can't, your life will be forfeit."

Su Chen's expression remained calm as he stared at Cui Yuan.

Seeing that he couldn't answer for a while, Su Chen didn't give him another chance.

"You can keep your life if you attack me.

But if you dare to harm my family or those close to me, you must be severely punished.

Sun Xuerong has escaped, and you don't need to inform Fan Chengyan about it.

So, you should just die here."
