Chapter 182: The Lure

"Shen Yu, step aside. Are you not afraid that everyone will swarm you at once?"

"I am not afraid! If any of you dare to try, this official will kill you all together!"

The Yuanhong Sword was thrust into the ground, and Shen Yu's hands were gripped upon the hilt, just watching everyone quietly like this. It was as if what stood before him were not martial arts experts of the jianghu, but merely a group of insignificant ants.

"Besides, this official has not blocked you from entering. If you enter on your own, this official will certainly not stop you. But if you wish to use commoners as scapegoats, this official will kill every single one I see, and I will show no mercy!"

"You!"

Facing Shen Yu, who blocked the entrance to the treasure, countless people glared like tigers watching their prey. Yet, aside from being able to threaten him with a few words from time to time, they found themselves completely helpless against him.

Fight? They couldn't win. Scold? The key was that they were not in the right. Moreover, this gentleman was truly worthy of his background as a scholar; he could curse people without using a single dirty word. A group of people here trading insults were left half-dead with anger by him.

As for He Yinshan and Ye Feng, who had arrived later and stood by Shen Yu's side, everyone subconsciously ignored them.

Although these two were also quite strong, they were not invincible. In everyone's eyes, there was only one person who mattered; only by dealing with him could everyone successfully go and seize the treasure.

But Shen Yu stubbornly held them outside the door with his own strength, leaving them with nothing to do but stare in frustration!

Clearly, the treasure was right inside, and the more they could not obtain it, the more impatient they became. Driven to desperation, there would always be someone willing to take a risk.

In the mountain forest not far from Shen Yu's position, a group of men in black knelt halfway beside a middle-aged man. Everyone's expression was respectful, and they did not even dare to raise their heads.

"Leader!"

Looking at his subordinates, the middle-aged man was expressionless and said indifferently, "I need a death soldier, a death soldier with superb light-body skills. Who among you is willing?"

"To die for the leader, this subordinate is willing!" Everyone said almost in unison, and their voices were exceptionally firm. It was as if being able to die for him was a very glorious and proud thing.

"Very good!" Nodding with satisfaction, the middle-aged man's gaze finally settled on a thin, small man in black, and then he smiled lightly.

"Ali, your light-body skills are the best, and although your Martial Arts are not the most top-tier, you are the most capable of saving your own life!"

"Others might not be able to dodge Shen Yu's sword, but only you have the possibility of surviving under his sword. So you are the most suitable. Go!"

"Yes, Leader!" Without any hesitation, the person kneeling on the ground nodded and disappeared before their eyes in the blink of an eye. Like a gust of clear wind, there was no trace left; only the blowing leaves seemed to prove that someone had been here just a moment ago.

This light-body skill alone was enough to look down upon all heroes. It was just a pity that the middle-aged man had one more sentence left unsaid.

He had seen Shen Yu's sword from afar; with Ali's light-body skills, he could dodge the first sword, but he might not be able to dodge the second. However, as long as he could dodge one sword, that was enough!

At this moment, Shen Yu had no idea that someone was plotting against him, but even if he knew, it wouldn't matter. Among these jianghu experts now, which one didn't want to take him down, and which one wasn't harboring their own little schemes?

Yet in his eyes, were these people not also individual experience babies? Shen Yu also wanted to take these jianghu people down.

Killing them would allow him to obtain plenty of check-in opportunities. Otherwise, who would waste time dragging things out with them like this!

What treasure or no treasure? How could it be as tempting as the rewards given by the system check-in!

"System, check in!"

"Check-in successful, obtained Ice Heart Art!"

"Ice Heart Art? The heart is like ice and clarity, the sky collapsing and I am not startled!" Following a hazy feeling, a point of light flashed, and the unique power belonging to the Ice Heart Art merged into his body.

In this instant, Shen Yu felt that he had suddenly become focused and calm, his heart returning to one, as if everything in the outside world was difficult to shake his mind.

The newly obtained Ice Heart Art, combined with the Clear Heart Art he had obtained previously, was enough to ensure he would not be disturbed by external objects. Let the thunder flash and the wind and rain beat outside, I remain unmoved!

And just at this moment, a thin, small figure suddenly flashed by. This person was dressed in black but possessed superb light-body skills, like a black, clear wind, leaving only trails of afterimages in place, causing many to marvel.

In this person's hand, a child of about two or three years old, carved from jade, was being gripped by one hand.

This person was speeding through the surrounding forest, as if he were single-mindedly trying to force his way through, completely ignoring whether the child in his hand was in unbearable pain.

In fact, the child gripped in his hand seemed to be in extreme pain, crying heart-rendingly, and even the child's voice seemed to have gone hoarse from crying. It made people feel heartache to hear it, and even more heartache to see it.

Seeing this scene, the killing intent on Shen Yu's body erupted violently. Those who kill commoners must die, and those who slaughter children must die even more!

"Hum!" A burst of Sword Qi soared into the sky, causing everyone to witness once again that terrifying Sword Intent that made one's heart palpitate; countless people's expressions changed drastically.

That man in black who had just rushed over actually dared to force his way through like this; they admired that he was a tough man. Unfortunately, under this Sword Intent, he likely wouldn't survive.

These past few days, with Shen Yu's realization of the Great River Sword Intent within his body, the Sword Intent he himself possessed seemed to be undergoing a transformation as well, becoming more and more terrifying, more and more majestic.

Once he struck, it seemed to change the color of the heavens and earth, like a surging great river, as if it wanted to sweep away everything!

Facing this suddenly arriving Sword Qi, the thin, small man in black actually held the child in his hand in front of him, completely indifferent to the other's life or death.

This action caused Shen Yu's expression to change slightly. With a sudden wave of his hand, the Sword Qi nearing the opponent also shifted to the side, just happening to miss the opponent.

And at this moment, Shen Yu's figure suddenly vanished from where he stood. The next moment, he had already arrived beside the opponent. One hand grabbed the child, and the other hand brandished the sharp sword, pointing directly at the opponent.

Seeing this scene, the thin, small man in black immediately released the hand gripping the child and fled frantically toward the inside. It was just that Shen Yu's sword was so fast and urgent that it made it impossible for him to dodge, as if he had thrown himself into this Sword Qi.

However, the moment the Sword Qi reached his body, the opponent's figure suddenly became exceptionally agile, actually rolling up and down on the spot, seemingly dodging this sword just in the nick of time.

Such light-body skills made one's eyes light up; there were not many in the jianghu who could possess such light-body skills. In the Nanhua Domain, it seemed there was one in the Golden Rain Tower!

But the opponent had not expected that Shen Yu's sword would be so terrifying. The majestic Sword Qi erupted violently; even if it wasn't a direct hit, the mere aftermath of the Sword Qi was enough to cause him heavy injury.

Swept by the aftermath of the Sword Qi, the man fell heavily to the ground, and large mouthfuls of fresh blood were spat out from the corners of his mouth. Yet the opponent was still desperately fleeing inside, as if only by running inside could he possibly survive.

"Want to leave!" With a cold snort, Shen Yu threw the child in his hand to He Yinshan nearby. And he himself directly stepped forward again, fiercely swinging a sword at the opponent.

This sword seemed to seal off all his paths of retreat. And at this moment, the opponent also happened to turn back, revealing a smile at Shen Yu, just as if he were calmly facing death.

The Sword Qi reached his body, and the thin, small man in black was like a torn rag, instantly shredded into pieces, turning into a rain of blood that filled the sky, also covering the surrounding mountain forest and vegetation in a glaring layer of red.

"No, it's a trap!"

At this moment, Shen Yu reacted instantly; the position he was currently in had already stepped into the treasure's range. The opponent was not fleeing, but was leading him to the entrance of this treasure; this was just a lure.

This was to utilize the terrifying, abyss-like phenomenon at the entrance of the treasure to swallow him up!

At the same time, countless experts swarmed out from the mountain forest, watching this scene quietly. Their expressions were cold, like the most ruthless killers. Only at the corners of their mouths did a trace of an arc unconsciously emerge.

This difficult opponent had finally been led inside by them.

The phenomenon at the treasure's entrance was something they had already experienced before. Anyone who entered would either commit suicide or commit suicide after killing each other. In short, entering meant certain death!

A young man is a young man after all, still too green!
