Chapter 184: A Clean Sweep

"What exactly do you want?"

For several days in a row, the young man before him seemed to have latched onto him, tormenting him every single day.

Moreover, Shen Yu could rest when tired and replenish his consumed power at any time and place. Yet, no matter how miserably he was tortured, he had absolutely no power to replenish.

He could only be continuously consumed in confrontation after confrontation, worn down bit by bit, growing weaker and weaker.

He understood the principle of water dripping through stone, and it was precisely because he understood it that he was even more afraid.

Having lived for so long, he had never seen anyone like this young man before him; he was simply impervious to reason, making one want to go up and slap him twice.

Even though he had exhausted all his means to try and seduce him, he remained unmoved, single-mindedly intent on finishing him off.

Did I eat your family's rice or smash your family's pot? Is it necessary to target me like this!

Now his power had withered to the extreme; the originally dense Black Mist was as thin as ordinary fog, and its scale had been reduced again and again.

It was easy to imagine that it wouldn't be long—perhaps in the very next moment—before all his power would be worn away completely.

"How is it? Do you feel exhausted? Do you feel like your strength is failing you?"

"If you ask me, you should just give up. Why struggle so much? That way, it's good for you, good for me, and good for everyone!"

As of today, the scene before them had shifted from Mo Xi trying to seduce Shen Yu into joining him, to Shen Yu bitterly urging Mo Xi to give up resistance and end it all.

This change made Mo Xi feel extremely aggrieved. He had lived for so many years; he had always been the one to drag others into the water, and no one had ever been able to shake him.

And now you want me to give up resistance? This is like trying to persuade a fallen woman to turn over a new leaf—you must have been kicked in the head by a donkey!

"It seems you still want to struggle a bit. Since that's the case, let me send you on your way!"

Standing up and stretching, Shen Yu had fully recovered from his previous consumption and looked back into the Array with a smile.

Seeing this smile, Mo Xi in the Array couldn't help but grow tense; he knew a new round of torture had arrived.

Kid, don't let me, your grandfather, get out of here, or I will definitely make you pay!

Ten Thousand Jun Thunder exploded in the valley once again, with lightning and thunder everywhere, causing the townspeople watching from afar to click their tongues in wonder.

Since a few days ago, strange phenomena of lightning and thunder had been coming from that place. Some bold clansmen had wanted to walk closer to take a look, but they didn't expect to be nearly injured by the power of the thunder.

Since then, the people in town dared not walk toward that valley anymore. Anyway, it couldn't reach them, so they just treated it like watching fireworks. And I must say, it was truly spectacular.

At this moment in the valley, Shen Yu's Haoran Righteous Qi, combined with the scorching of the Great Sun True Fire, made the mist of the Great Array grow dimmer and dimmer.

After an unknown amount of time, the Great Array became empty, with not a trace of mist remaining.

It was as if the fog had cleared and the dawn had come, with sunlight spilling back into the interior.

However, Shen Yu seemed to be able to sense that Mo Xi still existed inside; even though all the Black Mist had dissipated, he still existed.

"This seat has said that you cannot kill me. Even the power of this Array can only suppress me here!"

Deep within the depths, Mo Xi guarded his final origin, secretly lying dormant, preparing to sink into slumber once more.

However, at this moment, his heart was filled with hatred; this was the first time he had been tricked so miserably by a junior.

"Just wait. One day I will get out, and I will definitely kill you!"

"That day is not far off; the Spiritual Qi Surge is right before our eyes. Only when the world is in chaos and slaughter arises will it be the time for me to be reborn from the ashes."

"The resentment endlessly birthed in the world will surely allow this seat to return to the very peak!"

The low murmurs gradually disappeared, and Shen Yu could no longer even find Mo Xi's figure.

Mo Xi was right; the power of the Array could not wear down the opponent's final origin. Attacking through the Array was like scratching an itch through a boot, and it could not resolve the fundamental problem.

Since that was the case, then he would just walk inside!

The Void Power allowed Shen Yu to ignore all Arrays and all obstacles, and he stepped into the very center with ease.

The moment that Sword Intent, which seemed to sever everything, appeared, it startled Mo Xi from his slumber, and a feeling of fear surged into his heart, he knew not when.

Don't look at how Mo Xi boasted, claiming he was undying and indestructible; that depended on the type of attack.

The Grass Sword Art could sever time and space above and cut through everything below. But let him actually take a sword strike and see—it would kill you!

"How could you possibly get in?"

With the Great Array blocking the outside, it not only kept him from getting out but also kept people from the outside from getting in.

But what was going on with this person before him, walking into the Great Array so brazenly?

Once upon a time, because the Array was as solid as a golden soup, he had cursed the person who set it up with the most vile language, wishing he could eat their flesh raw.

But now, he wished the Great Array were even more secure. What kind of lousy Array is this, allowing someone to just walk in like that? How is this any different from a Brothel opening its doors to guests? Is the person who set this up reliable at all!

"You!" Looking at Shen Yu, who was within arm's reach, and seeing the sword in Shen Yu's hand, Mo Xi admitted he was truly panicked.

The sense of fatal fear radiating at every moment made him clearly feel the threat of death.

He knew that if the opponent's sword were to land on him, he would likely truly die.

How could this be? Even during the Spiritual Qi Surge where old monsters gathered, there were only a handful of people who could pose a threat to him, and only two who could actually kill him.

He couldn't understand how this young man before him could master such terrifying Sword Intent.

Had the Spiritual Qi Surge not even begun yet? Why was there already such a terrifying existence? What has happened to this World!

But no matter how shocked or afraid he was, Shen Yu's Sword Intent was constantly brewing, and soon this sword would behead him.

Judging by his current state with only a sliver of origin left, under the shroud of such terrifying Sword Intent, whether he could even survive a second strike was a question.

No matter what, he would likely die!

Before, he felt he could face Life and Death calmly, as if he were indifferent to it.

Because he knew that he generally couldn't die and could exist forever.

But when he truly faced it, he realized that he, too, could be afraid and could feel terror!

"Wait, Shen Yu, we can cooperate. No, I can pledge my loyalty to you. I can give you all of my power!"

"What good does it do you to kill me? But as long as you obtain my power, even after the Spiritual Qi Surge, you will still be among the strongest of the few!"

"You can absolutely consider it!"

"No, that's where you're wrong!" Shaking his head, Shen Yu looked at the other party indifferently.

"A person like you has no idea how many years you've been a scourge, or how many evil deeds you've committed. With so many, I'm afraid you don't even remember them yourself."

"You will never understand, you great villain. Only by killing you can I obtain the greatest benefit!"

As soon as the words fell, accompanied by Sword Qi that seemed to sever the void, the space along its path even twisted and shattered; the terrifying power within that Sword Intent made it so one couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance.

"No!" Watching the Sword Intent cut across, Mo Xi only felt everything about himself rapidly perishing under the Sword Qi.

Only at this moment did he fully confirm that this strike from Shen Yu was not a threat, nor was it an attempt to manipulate him; this was truly meant to kill him, truly and genuinely intended to put him to death.

How could he dare, how could he, was he truly not even the slightest bit tempted by his proposal!
