Chapter 590: Curtain Falls, Soul-Returning Herb!

A calm yet utterly domineering voice rang out across the entire plaza.

Coupled with the phantom of the ancient god and demon behind Su Yu.

It added considerable imposing presence to Su Yu's words.

Terrifying blade qi swirled between heaven and earth.

It seemed as though if these few people said anything, that terrifying blade qi would descend upon them in an instant.

At once, the expressions of several members of the Flame God Squad changed slightly.

They had not expected Su Yu to be so domineering.

Originally, they had been incomparably furious over Yan Mingtian's fall, thinking only that with so many people watching, Su Yu would not dare do anything.

But who would have known that Su Yu was simply someone impervious to reason.

Face and the like seemed entirely unimportant to Su Yu.

The leading squad member hastily spoke up.

"Su Yu! What are you trying to do! What, after killing our captain, you still want to make a move on us!"

"We are all Blade Bearers — why must you strike so lethally?"

"Do you still have any regard for your fellow countrymen!"

Seeing that threats were useless, he directly incited public opinion.

He wanted to rely on the masses' condemnation to suppress Su Yu completely.

It was a joke — even Yan Mingtian was no match for Su Yu, so how could they possibly be his opponents? They could only rely on the power of words to place themselves on the moral high ground.

Only then could they fiercely suppress Su Yu!

Sure enough, as their voices rang out, some other Blade Bearers also spoke up one after another.

"That's right, we are all Blade Bearers. Even if it was a life-and-death battle, this is a bit too chilling, isn't it?"

"Exactly. As Blade Bearers, even if there are grudges between us, at worst an apology would suffice. Killing someone outright — I feel that's going too far."

People are always like this.

When the matter has not fallen upon themselves, they point fingers and dictate, as though they were gods.

When the matter truly falls upon themselves.

They turn into vicious hounds, barking wildly in all directions.

Su Yu calmly gazed around. The whispers coming from all around were as though Su Yu had not heard them at all.

He merely looked indifferently at the members of the Flame God Squad before him.

"Noise!"

Su Yu raised the Ancient God Blade in his hand and suddenly slashed out a sharp streak of blade qi.

In an instant, it swept past the members of the Flame God Squad and landed upon the floating Sacred Blade.

Clang!

The crisp sound of metal colliding rang out once more.

It swept through the entire Blade Bearer Court.

Hearing this sound, everyone's expressions could not help but change slightly.

Then, they heard Su Yu's voice slowly ring out.

"Slaughter God Squad Captain Su Yu issues a life-and-death challenge to the entire Flame God Squad!"

As these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the Flame God Squad instantly turned somewhat pale.

Su Yu had actually issued a life-and-death challenge to them!

They had originally thought that by relying on the mouths of the crowd, they could make Su Yu suffer a silent loss.

But who would have known that Su Yu had never been one to suffer a loss.

He had directly issued a life-and-death challenge against them.

Although they could refuse.

But once they refused, their reputation within the entire Blade Bearer Court would be completely ruined.

They would be branded as cowardly as mice.

From then on, no one would think highly of them anymore.

Not only the members of the Flame God Squad, but even the other Blade Bearers' expressions changed slightly.

Generally speaking, very few people would directly issue a life-and-death challenge.

The reason Su Yu had issued a life-and-death challenge to Yan Mingtian earlier was very clear to them.

Because Yan Mingtian had injured the members of the Slaughter God Squad.

But now, Su Yu had actually initiated another life-and-death challenge.

One must know that the entire Blade Bearer Court might not even have a single life-and-death challenge in a year.

But accompanying Su Yu's arrival.

In just a single day's time, the Sacred Blade had actually sounded twice.

The members of the Flame God Squad now had faces alternating between green and red.

Neither advancing nor retreating.

Just like that, they were caught in an extremely awkward predicament.

"What? Lost your nerve?"

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

Then he turned his gaze upon the other Blade Bearers.

"Not just them — you as well!"

"If anyone dislikes me, Su Yu, feel free to challenge me to a life-and-death battle — I, Su Yu, will accept them all!"

Su Yu gave a cold laugh.

Threaded within his voice was a trace of the power of laws, resounding across the entire Blade-Wielder Court square.

High above in the void, Xiao Yun stood with arms crossed over his chest, a smile forming at the corners of his mouth.

"Worthy of being the Azure Dragon Sage's disciple — this presence already has a tenth of the Azure Dragon Sage's."

Xiao Xun also smiled faintly. "This little fellow is too domineering. Even I never expected that, faced with such a predicament, he would choose this approach!"

"But this is fine too. The blade-wielders in the Blade-Wielder Court now live too comfortably — they've even forgotten that strength can only improve rapidly between life and death."

"Let Su Yu, this catfish, stir up the waters of the Blade-Wielder Court!"

Xiao Xun murmured softly.

The two exchanged a smile, then their figures slowly dissipated.

From the moment Su Yu once again awakened the Sage Blade, today's farce had already reached its conclusion.

Sure enough, shortly after the two left.

The members of the Flame God Squad all left in dejection.

Even their own captain was no match for Su Yu — even if they all attacked together, the outcome would be the same.

Death!

Su Yu's combat strength was simply too formidable. He was clearly only at the late stage of the Law Realm, yet the combat strength he erupted with.

Was actually able to kill Yan Mingtian.

Of course, the Eight Trigrams Diagram was also a factor.

But the others didn't know that.

Yan Mingtian's severed head had been thrown out — in their minds, Su Yu already possessed combat strength at the Venerable Realm.

Such a ruthless person was not someone they could afford to provoke.

From this point on... the Flame God Squad, without Yan Mingtian, would soon fall from the squad rankings.

And the name of the God-Slaying Squad would be permanently etched onto the rankings.

The departure of the Flame God Squad.

The other blade-wielders, when looking at Su Yu, all revealed a trace of respect.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, only strength is the sole core.

Clearly, Su Yu's strength had already earned the acknowledgment of the many blade-wielders.

That was why they showed him genuine respect from the bottom of their hearts!

"Let's go back!"

Su Yu cast a cold glance across the Blade-Wielder Court square and said to the members of the God-Slaying Squad.

Hong Luan and the others all followed behind Su Yu.

Walking toward the direction of the palace.

Soon, everyone returned to their own palace.

Looking at Gan Tianlei, still lying on the bed, Su Yu fell into a long silence.

At this time, Bai Lie slowly spoke up.

"Gan Tianlei's injuries are very severe. More importantly, his divine soul is damaged. There is only one way to make Gan Tianlei wake up."

Bai Lie said in a low voice.

"Soul-Returning Herb!"
