Chapter 235: The Overlord Heaven King's Thoughts, Su Yu's Means

Overlord Heaven King showed up.

His burly body was clad in golden armor.

Under the sunlight, it shimmered with a slow golden light.

"Stop!"

Overlord Heaven King's voice thundered like an exploding thunderclap, booming throughout heaven and earth.

Even the entire Mie Long Cheng could hear Overlord Heaven King's voice.

Between heaven and earth, a terrifying pressure permeated, and Su Yu's body, under this immense pressure, stiffly held its place in midair.

Su Yu's heart sank slightly as he looked up toward the firmament.

Overlord Heaven King gazed coldly at Su Yu and spoke in a deep voice.

"Since you've already won, why press the attack?"

Bai Chen, half-kneeling on the ground, saw Overlord Heaven King emerge, and a smile instantly appeared on his face.

"Master! Master, save me!"

He then turned his gaze to Su Yu, his face filled with venomous hatred.

"Come on, weren't you going to kill me? Come on! My master is right here—what right do you have to kill me?"

"You were so arrogant before—why aren't you making a move now?"

Bai Chen slowly rose to his feet, and despite his shattered armor, he looked at Su Yu before him with a mocking sneer.

"This is Mie Long Cheng! No one can kill me here!"

"Your pet is not bad—it's mine now!"

Bai Chen laughed loudly and reached out to grab the Little Azure Dragon.

The Little Azure Dragon roared, opened its bloody maw, released terrifying power, and was about to bite off Bai Chen's outstretched hand.

However, Overlord Heaven King, standing in the void, let out a cold snort.

"You beast, how dare you!"

Accompanying Overlord Heaven King's cold snort,

Instantly, the Little Azure Dragon, as if struck by a fierce impact, had its scales explode, wounds bursting open across its body.

Puff—puff—puff!!!

Blood spurted out instantly.

Su Yu watched this scene, his eyes nearly bursting, and his anger surged forth instantly.

"Old thing, you're courting death!"

Su Yu roared, and in an instant, the Arhat Golden Body erupted from his dantian, and with a boom, a white jade light filled his entire body.

His body, which had been suppressed by Overlord Heaven King, actually broke free of that powerful restraint.

Boom!

A booming roar exploded.

Su Yu threw a punch at Bai Chen.

Bai Chen watched Su Yu actually break free of Overlord Heaven King's suppression, and a flicker of fear flashed in his eyes.

He hurriedly cried out for help to Overlord Heaven King.

"Master, save me!"

Overlord Heaven King's eyes flashed with surprise.

You know, although I didn't exert much effort, even a mere Flying Heaven Realm cultivator couldn't break free.

As Su Yu's fist was about to land on Bai Chen, Overlord Heaven King let out a cold snort.

"Hmph! This king told you to stop—didn't you hear?"

Overlord Heaven King didn't even move, yet waves of invisible pressure rippled through heaven and earth, surging toward Su Yu.

Su Yu's face turned mad.

Bai Chen's attempt to seize the Little Azure Dragon was already touching Su Yu's reverse scale.

And now Overlord Heaven King had actually inflicted heavy damage on the Little Azure Dragon.

How could Su Yu endure this?

What about being enfeoffed as a king?

What if he doesn't receive the enfeoffment's recognition?

"What a fine Enfeoffed King of Mie Long Cheng—turns out he's just as unreasonable. This Young Marshal, I'd rather not be him!"

Su Yu laughed, and instantly a jade slip appeared from his hand.

Then he instantly crushed it.

Instantly, a phantom slowly emerged between heaven and earth.

It was none other than the last jade slip left behind by Lin Yu.

This jade slip contained Lin Yu's all-out strike!

Accompanying the apparition of Lin Yu, the pressure pressing toward Su Yu was instantly canceled.

Su Yu's fist instantly smashed toward Bai Chen, terrifying energy continually gathering on his fist and releasing dreadful power.

The white jade light, like a blazing radiance, crashed down.

Bai Chen's eyes were filled with fear, and he kept howling.

"Su Yu! If you dare kill me, my master will surely execute you!"

"Master! Quickly save me!"

"Su Yu, you will die a horrible death!"

Bai Chen's sharp voice rang out, like the scream of a dead pig about to be taken to the slaughterhouse.

The Overlord King's gaze instantly darkened, flecked with cold frost.

"I, the king, tell you to stop!"

The Overlord King roared.

A surging force between Heaven and Earth seemed summoned by the Overlord King, and with a thunderous roar it formed an invisible massive hand.

It struck forcefully at Lin Yu.

Even within this phantom, it contained Lin Yu's full‑force strike.

Even though Lin Yu is an invincible Grand Master.

But under the Overlord King's palm, Lin Yu's phantom didn't even get a chance to swing his blade; it instantly shattered into shards of energy that dissipated between Heaven and Earth.

The massive hand of Heaven and Earth did not delay for Lin Yu's shattered phantom, and instantly struck Su Yu.

Su Yu only felt a strong wave of energy coming from behind him.

A sense of life‑and‑death crisis instantly spread.

However, at that moment, clusters of blue lotuses suddenly rose between Heaven and Earth.

The blue lotuses blossomed, accompanied by countless threads of Sword Qi that crisscrossed Heaven and Earth, and forcefully slashed at the massive hand.

In the next instant, a muffled hum sounded.

Li Zhangsheng's figure appeared, and blood spurted from his mouth.

His whole body was slammed by that massive hand onto his chest; in an instant his breath grew extremely low.

Nevertheless, he is still the terrifying strong one who ranks second among Grand Masters; even after being hit by the Overlord King's massive hand, it was only a serious injury.

"Teacher Li!"

Su Yu was startled, quickly withdrew his fist, and helped support Li Zhangsheng.

The Little Azure Dragon, its aura weak, also returned to Su Yu's pocket.

Having been suppressed by the Overlord King, the Little Azure Dragon is now severely injured, unable to maintain its form, and can only revert to its true body, hiding in Su Yu's pocket to recover.

Su Yu's complexion was unusually angry.

Since stepping onto the stage, he has been targeted at every turn.

And Bai Chen kept hurling insults, even trying to strike the Little Azure Dragon.

This was already the limit of Su Yu's tolerance.

And now, the King‑Conferred Strong One of Mie Long Cheng also intervened; had Li Zhangsheng not appeared, that palm might have already sent him crashing down.

Li Zhangsheng waved his hand, looked at the Overlord King, and sneered.

"The dignified Overlord King of Mie Long Cheng dares to strike a junior in the Flying Heaven Realm. Aren't you afraid of being mocked if word spreads!"

The Overlord King crossed his arms behind his back and said lightly.

"Su Yu provoked me first; I have already made him cease. As for those who defy me, I have not killed them, sparing them out of respect for the commander."

That sentence drew a scornful laugh from Li Zhangsheng.

Had I not intervened, that palm would have certainly killed Su Yu.

And now, this Overlord King shamelessly claims that not killing Su Yu was out of respect for the Slay Dragon King.

How shameless.

Immediately, the Frenzy King and the Shadow Ghost King stepped out from the Nine Heavens.

The Shadow Ghost King's expression turned extremely grim as he looked at the Overlord King and said,

"A spar between juniors, your interference is not proper, is it?"

The Frenzy King also furrowed his brows, clearly disapproving of the Overlord King's actions.

Facing the doubts of the two King‑Conferred Strong Ones, the Overlord King showed no expression, but remained exceedingly relaxed, speaking lightly.

"I, the king, naturally have my own methods. Bai Chen is my disciple; his attack aims to kill my disciple. How could I possibly stand by idly!"

"He hasn't even become a Young Marshal of the Slay Dragon Army, yet dares to defy me. One can imagine, once he becomes a Young Marshal, he won't even regard me!"

"He, I do not recognize!"

The Overlord King's words effectively erased Su Yu's path to becoming a Young Marshal.

The Shadow Ghost King and the Frenzy King's expressions suddenly changed.

The Frenzy King said gravely, "Overlord King, think carefully before speaking; you are not responsible for this aspect."

"Su Yu also has not failed!"

The Shadow Ghost King stared at the Overlord King intently.

"Do you not regard the commander at all!"

The Overlord King suddenly looked at the two, and a terrifying aura burst from his body, a dread pressure instantly spreading throughout Mie Long Cheng.

"What are you two, daring to speak to me like that? You truly think that being one of the three kings allows you to constantly oppose me!"

"If you two come at me together, I can slay you both!"

"When I act, no one ever has the right to question me!"

The Overlord King stared ominously at the two; the terrifying Heaven‑and‑Earth power instantly suppressed the Shadow Ghost King and the Frenzy King.

The Shadow Ghost King's expression shifted slightly.

"You…you have reached the fifth step!"

The Shadow Ghost King trembled wildly within.

King‑Conferred Strong Ones, even within the same realm, still have great differences; this distinction lies in how far each has progressed in the King‑Conferred Strong One realm.

Like the Shadow Ghost King and the Frenzy King, they have only reached the second step, still some distance from the third.

And the Overlord King had already reached the fourth step, a terrifying King‑Conferred Strong One; even across all of Daxia, he ranks among the top tier of King‑Conferred Strong Ones.

And now, the Heaven Overlord King's breakthrough has successfully reached the fifth step, instantly becoming the pinnacle among the kings of Daxia.

Throughout Daxia, those who have reached the fifth step as kings are few and far between, and the Heaven Overlord King has even reached this step.

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the Heaven Overlord King's body, the two's expressions changed slightly.

"Heaven Overlord King, you've made up your mind to do this. The Commander is right there watching—aren't you afraid he'll blame you for this?"

The Yin Ghost King spoke in a low voice.

The Heaven Overlord King glanced indifferently at the Yin Ghost King.

"The Commander? He merely reached the fifth step before me. Now we're in the same realm—who truly holds the Commander's position is still unclear!"

Upon hearing this, the Mad King and the Yin Ghost King's expressions changed drastically.

Staring fixedly at the Heaven Overlord King, as if they had just thought of something unbelievable.

"Heaven Overlord King, you dare!"

The Mad King roared angrily.

"You'll see if I dare or not!"

The Heaven Overlord King snorted coldly, threw a punch that seemed to pull the heavens and earth, and smashed it toward the Mad King.

The Mad King roared, unleashing a barrage of attacks trying to neutralize the Heaven Overlord King's punch.

Boom—!!!

Endless roaring exploded upon the Heaven Overlord King's fist.

It also emitted a thunderous blast.

However, the gap between them was truly too great; the Mad King, struck by the Heaven Overlord King's punch, was instantly flung tens of kilometers before barely stopping.

The Mad King spat out a mouthful of blood, incredulously staring at the Heaven Overlord King.

At that moment, Bai Chen also came to the Heaven Overlord King's side, teasingly looking at Su Yu.

"I said it—only I can fulfill the position of Young Marshal."

"Even if you are the Slay Dragon King's disciple, so what? After today, who will hold the Commander's position is still uncertain."

"But... this Young Marshal position will surely be mine!"

Bai Chen laughed loudly, continually provoking Su Yu.

Watching the events unfold, Su Yu's anger faded, replaced by a thoughtful expression.

Does the teacher know about the Heaven Overlord King's affairs?

Su Yu couldn't help but look toward the palace, but the heavy doors blocked his view, and he couldn't see inside at all.

"It's come to this—teacher, aren't you going to intervene?"

Su Yu's brows furrowed tightly.

Logically, the Heaven Overlord King seeking to depose the Slay Dragon King should have seen the Slay Dragon King act by now.

Yet now, the Slay Dragon King hasn't acted—could it be due to some circumstance preventing him?

Doubts arose one after another in Su Yu's heart.

At that moment, the Heaven Overlord King's voice sounded.

"Don't look; the Slay Dragon King can't come out."

Hearing this voice, Su Yu's heart sank.

The Heaven Overlord King said indifferently.

"The Slay Dragon Army has its rules: the Commander's position has never belonged to one person; the Commander is the strongest of the entire Slay Dragon Army. Now, before I formally challenge him, he cannot emerge—once he does, he violates the Slay Dragon Army's rules!"

"So, placing your hope in that teacher of yours is futile. Although you are the Slay Dragon King's disciple, in his heart the Commander's position matters far more than his own disciple!"

The Heaven Overlord King's voice was like a dagger, continually stabbing into Su Yu's heart.

He even once doubted whether, in the Slay Dragon King's heart, he truly was inferior to a Commander of the Slay Dragon Army.

Su Yu's gaze grew somewhat complex.

Suddenly, Su Yu's ear twitched slightly.

A gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Bai Chen gave a sinister grin as he looked at Su Yu.

"Su Yu, if you give your pet to me, perhaps I can still speak a few good words for you beside the teacher, sparing your life."

The Heaven Overlord King likewise said.

"That pet is indeed excellent; if properly nurtured, it will surely become a great aid for you in the future. Su Yu, hand it over!"

"Hand it over, and this king will spare your life!"

The Heaven Overlord King stood aloft in the void, hands behind his back, like a sovereign of heaven and earth, directly ignoring the Yin Ghost King beside him.

Su Yu stood silent in place, shadows obscuring his eyes, making his thoughts unreadable.

Suddenly, Su Yu laughed.

"Heaven Overlord King, right? Today, I will truly kill your disciple—this young master of mine—and no one can stop me!"

As Su Yu's words fell, the next moment he produced a token.

Upon the token was carved a lifelike azure dragon.

The next moment, Su Yu crushed the token.
