Chapter 256: Mist Race in Chaos, Lang Xing's Pursuit and Kill!

In an instant, the entire venue fell deathly silent.

Everyone stared fixedly at the plaza above.

Wu Xing, who had been so full of himself just moments ago, was actually driven deep into the earth by a single palm strike from Su Yu.

The stark contrast made everyone present involuntarily gasp.

"Hiss—!"

On the plaza, the sounds of gasping rose and fell one after another.

They never could have imagined that Wu Xing, who had already advanced to Nine-Turn Golden Body, would suffer such a crushing defeat at Su Yu's hands.

The power of a single palm strike had outright defeated Wu Xing.

Su Yu stood calmly on the plaza, and before him, within a massive deep crater.

Wu Xing lay limp inside the crater, having already lost consciousness.

This was still the result of Su Yu holding back; otherwise, under a single palm strike, let alone Wu Xing being merely a Nine-Turn peak Golden Body.

Even if an early Flying Heaven Realm expert came forward, under Su Yu's palm strike, he could slay them.

Wu Lin looked at Su Yu abruptly; he never could have imagined that his ordinarily unremarkable son could play such a tremendous role today.

Originally, when he saw Wu Xing advance to Nine-Turn Golden Body, his heart had already sunk.

But as Su Yu's palm strike fell.

Wu Lin was utterly shaken.

Wu Lie also instantly opened his eyes, stood up, and stared in horror at the scene before him.

He knew his son's strength best of all; though only newly entered into Nine-Turn Golden Body, suppressing a mere Eight-Turn Golden Body Wu Jie would have been effortless.

No one expected that with just a single palm strike, his son would actually be defeated.

"Impossible!"

Wu Lie said in disbelief.

Beside them, Lang Xing's gaze fell upon Su Yu.

"The Mist Race actually has such a prodigy; if he grows up, wouldn't the Mist Race produce another Marquis!"

Lang Xing's eyes flickered slightly.

This time, he was able to come to the Mist Race not only because of Wu Lie's request, but more so because he wanted to see the Mist Race's strength for himself.

These past few years, the Mist Race had been increasingly disobedient to the Wolf Race, so Lang Xing's arrival also carried an intent to warn them.

That was why Lang Xing, in front of everyone in the Mist Race, devoured a Bright Moon Grand Master of the Mist Race, which served as a warning.

But the talent Su Yu displayed made Lang Xing feel a trace of crisis.

Once he grew up, the future would be extraordinary.

"This child cannot be spared!"

Lang Xing's eyes flickered slightly.

Everyone, from the Great Sun Grand Master above down to the ordinary Mist Race citizens, was shaken by Su Yu's strike.

After a long time, a Grand Master of the Mist Race finally spoke.

"This battle, Wu Jie wins!"

"Two out of three matches. The City Lord battle, Wu Lin wins, and continues to hold the position of City Lord!"

As these words were spoken, a divine light burst forth from Wu Lin's eyes.

Although Wu Feng had perished, as long as he could hold the position of City Lord, relying on the City Lord's resources, he would surely be able to achieve the Marquis realm in the future.

When that time came, a mere Bright Moon Grand Master expert would be nothing.

Wu Lin laughed aloud.

"Hahahaha, my good son, truly worthy of being this father's own son!"

Wu Lin laughed heartily.

Moreover, quite a few Mist Race experts began to bow to Wu Lin.

However, right at this moment, Wu Lie's discordant voice rang out.

"Wait!"

Wu Lie coldly snorted, stepped forward, and looked around.

"Wu Lin is unfit to be City Lord!"

Wu Lie's voice spread across the entire plaza; for a moment, many people's gazes fell upon Wu Lie, with a hint of puzzlement hidden in their eyes.

Even Wu Lin could not help but furrow his brow slightly, not knowing what Wu Lie was up to.

"Wu Lie, winners become kings and losers become bandits; could it be that you can't afford to lose?"

Wu Lin shouted low; now that he had won the City Lord battle, his confidence had stiffened somewhat.

Facing Wu Lie, he also loudly rebuked him.

Wu Lie sneered coldly, completely ignoring Wu Lin's rebuke, and only said calmly.

The City Lord of our Mist City must be someone who works for the entire Mist Race; a traitor who colludes with the Human Race, I'm afraid, lacks the qualification!

As these words were spoken, they directly stirred up waves of uproar across the entire plaza.

"What? Collude with the Human Race? What does that mean? Does Lord Wu Lie mean that Wu Lin colluded with the Human Race?"

"Hiss, what exactly is going on? Why would Lord Wu Lie say such a thing?"

"It shouldn't be possible; Lord Wu Lin has been in the Mist Race for so many years, how could he collude with the Human Race!"

Many people whispered among themselves, looks of confusion surfacing in their eyes.

Wu Lin's expression turned exceedingly ugly; he stared fixedly at Wu Lie and rebuked him.

"Wu Lie, stop your wild talk! I collude with the Human Race? If I colluded with the Human Race, then produce the evidence! If you have no evidence and yet say I collude with the Human Race, it is truly laughable!"

Wulin was also angered to the point of laughter by Wulie's words.

Saying he colluded with the Human Race — he could actually come up with such an excuse.

Facing Wulin's rebuke, Wulie showed not the slightest worry, only calmly looking toward Wukuang and speaking.

"Brother Wukuang, isn't it about time you came out and said a few words too?"

Many people's gazes turned toward Wukuang.

They saw Wukuang slowly rise to his feet, walk to Wulie's side, and speak calmly.

"Wulin, it is indeed true that he colluded with the Human Race."

Once these words were spoken, the expressions of the many experts of the Mist Race changed drastically.

If it were only Wulie alone, there would not have been much persuasiveness, but now that Wukuang also said this, the likelihood of the news being true was very high.

Wulin's expression was incomparably ugly. He had never expected that on such an occasion, they would use the charge of colluding with the Human Race to deal with him.

And they had even roped in Wukuang.

Although the two men's cultivation was not on par with his own, their prestige in the Mist Race was not the slightest bit inferior to his.

"You're full of shit! I can see you just failed, and now you're finding an excuse, wanting to seize the position of city lord for yourself!"

Wulin roared in anger.

Wulie gave a cold laugh, paying no mind to Wulin's roar, and instead turned his gaze forward.

"Does everyone know why I was defeated so quickly at Wulin's hands? And does everyone know why Brother Wukuang directly gave up on this city lord battle?"

Many people shook their heads, clearly not understanding.

Wulie continued, "This is the root of the problem. The reason the two of us ended up like this is because we were both injured!"

"And at this critical juncture, only the two of us were injured. It's hard for me not to suspect that this was Wulin's doing!"

Wulie said calmly.

Once these words were spoken, the plaza below immediately became incomparably noisy.

"What? Lord Wulie and Lord Wukuang were injured? How did this happen?"

"Hiss, if you put it that way, only Lord Wulin alone was not injured. That's very suspicious — could it be that Lord Wulin played dirty?"

"To think that Wulin was actually this kind of person!"

Below the plaza, people whispered to each other.

But Wulin was a Great Sun Grand Master after all, so naturally he could easily hear these people's discussions.

His face instantly turned ashen.

"Nonsense! When did I ever ambush you!"

"Utter rubbish!"

Wulin roared in anger, staring fixedly at Wulie, and said coldly.

"Wulie, everything requires evidence. Without evidence, to slander my reputation like this — do you really think I wouldn't dare to suppress and kill you!"

An extremely terrifying aura permeated from Wulin's body, showing that he had clearly been pushed to the extreme of fury.

"Hmph! Evidence? I'll give you evidence right now!"

Wulie gave a cold snort and directly tore off his own upper garment. On Wulie's chest, a massive wound appeared extremely hideous; even now, one could still see flesh and blood writhing ceaselessly beneath the wound.

And within that flesh and blood, there was faintly a sharp Sword Qi constantly destroying Wulie's vitality.

Wulie's face was slightly pale.

"This wound — could it be that I inflicted it on myself just to frame you? I am a Great Sun Grand Master. The only Sword Qi that could destroy the vitality within my body is one from an expert of the same realm."

"Not just me, even Brother Wukuang is the same!"

Hearing Wulie's words, Wukuang likewise tore off his own upper garment, and an even more hideous wound appeared on Wukuang's chest.

Wukuang said coldly.

"Wulin, what else do you have to say now? Among the three of us, only you have no injuries whatsoever on your body. With this being the case, who else could have pulled such a trick!"

Looking at the wounds on Wukuang and Wulie's bodies, Wulin's heart jolted.

He had not expected that Wulie and Wukuang truly had such shocking injuries on their bodies.

For a moment, he was stunned.

Wulie struck while the iron was hot, saying, "This Sword Qi — I wonder, Wulin, are you still familiar with it?"

Wulin's pupils shrank abruptly, staring fixedly at the Sword Qi at Wulie's chest, and sure enough, he sensed a familiar aura within that Sword Qi.

"This aura... could it be!"

Wulin's pupils contracted in an instant, as if he had thought of something.

Wulie gave a cold laugh. "That's right — it's the Human Race Grand Master, Li Zhangsheng!"

"By all rights, if Li Zhangsheng had made a move, he would have struck all three of us, but instead, Li Zhangsheng only struck the two of us. Wulin, what else do you have to say!"

"It was you who colluded with the Human Race!"

"Your crime warrants execution!"

Wulie shouted in fury, his momentum like a rainbow.

Wulin's face instantly turned pale. All the evidence was pointing at him, but in his heart he knew very clearly that he had not done any of this at all.

On the plaza, Su Yu quietly watched the scene before him, his eyes flickering.

"It's getting chaotic!"

A smile appeared at the corner of Su Yu's mouth.

For Su Yu, the more chaotic, the more perfect.

Only when things became chaotic could he and Li Zhangsheng fish in troubled waters and achieve their goal.

"To think that Lord Wulin actually colluded with the Human Race — how could someone like that become the city lord of our Mist Race!"

"Yes, colluding with the Human Race. Now in the Myriad Races Continent, the Human Race is a thorn in the eye of all races. At a time like this, colluding with the Human Race — do you, Wu Lin, intend to push our entire Mist Race into the abyss!"

"And you are supposed to be our Mist Race's Great Sun Grand Master, yet you side with the Human Race like this! Just to keep your position as city lord, you actually collude with the Human Race — you deserve to die!"

Several experts of the Mist Race instantly grew furious, speaking out one after another to condemn Wu Lin.

Wu Lin's body trembled incessantly. He had never imagined that he would end up being hated by everyone in the entire Mist Race over a baseless charge.

He immediately let out an angry roar.

"I did not! You must have deliberately encountered Li Zhangsheng in order to target me! I, Wu Lin, stand upright and proud — I could never collude with the Human Race!"

Wu Lin's eyes were about to split with rage. He was a proud man; he could abandon the position of city lord, but his innocence could not be insulted!

Wu Lie gave a cold laugh.

"Whether or not you colluded with the Human Race, let the Mist King decide!"

"Furthermore, your son Wu Jie was clearly ordinary before, but in just three short days, he changed so drastically. A cultivation at the Sixth Revolution of the Golden Body actually defeated my son at the Ninth Revolution of the Golden Body."

"I suspect you even sent your son to the Human Race in order to raise his cultivation!"

"Someone, seize Wu Jie and Wu Lin and hand them over to the Mist King for judgment!"

Wu Lie roared in fury, instantly exchanging a glance with Wu Kuang, and charged toward Wu Lin to kill him.

Wu Lin's eyes were about to split with rage, and his pupils instantly turned completely blood-red.

"You all!"

"You all deserve to die!"

Wu Lin growled low, like a hysterical beast.

He roared at Su Yu.

"My son, flee!"

With that said, wrapped in powerful fluctuations, he instantly charged head-on into Wu Lie and Wu Kuang.

Although both Wu Lie and Wu Kuang were Great Sun Grand Masters, in terms of combat strength they were still inferior to Wu Lin, and on top of that, they had already suffered from Li Zhangsheng's assassination attempt.

Unable to bring out their full strength, even with the two of them joining forces, they were forcibly suppressed by Wu Lin.

Wu Lie's expression turned rather ugly, and he growled low.

"Where are the Grand Masters of the Mist Race? Suppress this traitor of the Mist Race alongside me!"

Instantly, figure after figure soared up from the plaza, among them no shortage of Bright Moon Grand Master experts.

All the Grand Masters of the Mist Race struck out one after another, unleashing terrifying attacks that unfurled like bolts of silk between heaven and earth.

They charged furiously toward Wu Lin.

Wu Lin roared in fury, the cultivation throughout his entire body erupted, and a phantom silhouette like a blazing sun instantly flickered to life.

"You all are courting death!"

Wu Lin had already been driven mad by rage, killing frenziedly.

Several Star Ancestor Masters had barely clashed with him before they were already heavily wounded at Wu Lin's hands.

Su Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and without any hesitation, he dashed toward the direction of the Energy Ore Vein.

Right now, many Grand Master experts of the Mist Race had gathered in the plaza, so the Energy Ore Vein at this moment surely had few people guarding it.

But very quickly, Su Yu changed direction and dashed toward the City Lord's Manor.

Perhaps the Energy Ore Vein side still did not know about what was happening in the plaza. Relying on the city lord's decree, he could still infiltrate it and thereby destroy the entire Energy Ore Vein.

And the City Lord's Manor's decree...

In Wu Jie's memory, it was in Wu Lin's room!

Su Yu was like a streak of flowing light, flashing instantly through the crowd. Some people did not even catch sight of Su Yu's figure before he had already left the plaza.

Only Lang Xing's eyes flickered slightly, staring in the direction Su Yu had gone, the corner of his mouth curving into an arc.

"Kid, your talent has already become a threat to the Wolf Race. Heaven has given me this chance — today, you will not live!"

Lang Xing laughed loudly and said to Wu Lie.

"Wu Lie, how about I go help you capture Wu Jie!"

Wu Lie was overjoyed, forcing Wu Lin back with a punch, and hurriedly said.

"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Lang Xing!"

Lang Xing laughed heartily and charged in the direction Su Yu had left.

Wu Lin's pupils kept dilating as he roared.

"You dare!"

At this moment, Wu Lin had gone completely berserk, unleashing one attack after another, fighting with his life on the line, not caring that wounds were being left all over his body.

Wu Lie gave a low shout.

"Everyone, Wu Lin has already lost his reason. Strike with everything you have, or the entire Mist City will be thrown into chaos!"

"Yes!"

One Mist Race Grand Master after another struck out, wanting to suppress Wu Lin in the shortest time possible.

At the same time.

Su Yu soon arrived at the City Lord's Manor, followed Wu Jie's memory to find Wu Lin's room, and sure enough, found the city lord's decree in a drawer in Wu Lin's room.

Su Yu's eyes flickered slightly.

Without any hesitation, he placed the decree into his Space Ring and dashed toward the direction of the Energy Ore Vein.

Su Yu was very clear that Mist City had now fallen into chaos. Even though the Energy Ore Vein was far from the plaza, it would still take some time for the news to travel there.

But he also had to enter the Energy Ore Vein at the first possible moment, otherwise once the news did arrive, it would truly be troublesome.

Moreover, the Mist King was in secluded cultivation within the Energy Ore Vein. Heaven knows whether this Marquis-level Expert in secluded cultivation had sensed what was happening at the plaza.

If he had sensed it, that would be the most troublesome time of all.

"Now I must speed up, otherwise once the Mist King reacts, even with Teacher Li here, it will be very difficult to destroy the Energy Ore Vein!"

Su Yu's eyes focused slightly, just about to head out.

But he heard a mocking voice ring beside his ear.

"Little brat of the Mist Tribe, where are you planning to run off to!"

Su Yu's body stiffened slightly, and he looked in the direction the voice came from.

At the entrance of the City Lord's Manor, he saw a person bearing a ferocious wolf head, looking at him with mockery.

It was none other than Lang Xing, whom Wu Lie had brought along.

A Bright Moon Grand Master expert!

Seeing Lang Xing's arrival, Su Yu's gaze darkened slightly.

Lang Xing walked toward Su Yu at a leisurely pace.

"Tsk tsk tsk, defeating the Nine-Turn Golden Body with a single palm strike—even though it was only a Superior Golden Body, your combat strength is already impressive. Actually, even without today's matter, I would have come looking for you."

Su Yu frowned slightly, not expecting that Lang Xing would actually come looking for him.

"Why?"

Lang Xing looked at Su Yu with the gaze of a hunter who had spotted his prey, his eyes filled entirely with mockery.

"Because... your talent threatens our Wolf Tribe!"

Lang Xing said coldly.

"To prevent the Mist Tribe from producing another Marquis, you must die today!"

Hearing Lang Xing's words, Su Yu finally understood.

The strength he had displayed was too earth-shattering, causing the Wolf Tribe to sense a hint of crisis.

So they intended to kill him.

After figuring out the situation, Su Yu instead grew calm.

He looked at Lang Xing indifferently and said.

"Too bad you don't have that ability!"

Just as Su Yu's words fell, Lang Xing saw a figure carrying a wine gourd appear before him.
