Chapter 264: This is Your Honor!

"What does the senior think?"

In the distance, two people were watching this scene quietly, watching Shen Yu finish off so many experts. Yet, in their eyes, there was not a ripple of emotion.

"Indeed an expert, not bad! And so young, what a pity!"

Looking over, the old man with graying hair smiled lightly, though his eyes gleamed with a hint of coldness.

To him, the scene before his eyes was nothing more than children fighting, not worth mentioning. But such a genius was truly something to be wary of.

It was said that this young man was only in his twenties and already possessed such strength. If given time, he would likely become another titan of the Jianghu.

There were already enough of those top-tier people in this world, and enough people pressing down on their heads; one more was enough to make one feel annoyed.

Especially someone who liked to meddle in other people's business and couldn't tolerate a grain of sand in their eyes—that was the most detestable kind.

If he could cause this much trouble now, there was no telling what kind of chaos he would stir up once he grew up.

He did not like such a person, he disliked him very much!

Yet, no matter how impressive a genius might be, they were still just a junior of the Jianghu. A genius who had not yet grown up was ultimately insignificant, not worth talking about!

"Don't forget what you promised this old man!"

"Rest assured, Senior, we will never go back on what we promised you!" Standing beside the old man, the middle-aged man spoke with a respectful attitude, looking like he was carefully trying to curry favor.

He took a cautious look at the other party, then glanced at Shen Yu, who had not yet left in the distance, and the corners of the middle-aged man's mouth curled into an arc.

He had originally thought that the Grand Overseer using a fortune to recruit so many experts to surround and kill Shen Yu was already a grand gesture. Who could have imagined there would be such a trump card at the end?

Facts proved that the Grand Overseer's caution was correct; so many experts, who could almost rival the majority of the experts lurking in their Night Hawk organization, had been wiped out cleanly, not a single one left.

That Poison Man Weapon had even made his heart jump with fear, yet it had been easily dealt with. The Grand Overseer was right: this young man could not be left alive!

Even if they had to sacrifice more, even if they had to pay more, they absolutely could not let him live!

Standing respectfully beside the old man, the middle-aged man said in a low, respectful voice, "Senior, after the deed is done, besides what we promised, there will be a heavy additional reward!"

"Not bad!" The old man nodded, appearing somewhat indifferent to this. "If you go back on your word, believe me, the consequences are not something you would want to see!"

"Do not think that this seat is asking for a high price; this person is clearly a young genius cultivated by the imperial court. If you touch him, those old fellows in the court will fight to the death!"

"To an expert like you, Senior, those people are nothing but clay chickens and pottery dogs, unable to withstand a single blow!"

"Haha, well said! They are just a bunch of dogs raised by the imperial court, clay chickens and pottery dogs!"

Standing beside the old man, the middle-aged man hurriedly chimed in. This old senior was not easy to get along with, and serving him was no simple task. It was bad enough that his temperament was volatile, but he was also addicted to killing.

In front of him, one could only be extremely respectful and dared not show the slightest abnormality. Otherwise, before killing Shen Yu, he really wouldn't mind taking him along as well.

"However, this young man is different from what you described; he is a bit excessively strong. Besides what you promised, I also want a Blood Jade Fruit; only then is it a fair trade!"

"Blood Jade Fruit? This..." Was this supposed to be a fair trade? Raising the price on the spot—did this old fellow have any professional ethics at all?

"What? You cannot make the decision? Then let those who can make the decision come to talk. If the conditions are not met, this seat will not make a move!"

"Senior, a Blood Jade Fruit it is. As long as you can successfully kill him, we agree to this condition!"

He said these words while almost gritting his teeth. The Grand Overseer had said to spare no cost. As long as Shen Yu could be killed, they could pay any price.

No one knew the preciousness of the Blood Jade Fruit better than they did; it was a Spirit Medicine known for reviving the Living Dead and regrowing white bones—a single fruit was almost equivalent to a life.

Besides that, consuming a Blood Jade Fruit had the miraculous effect of increasing internal energy and nourishing the spirit. Most importantly, it was rumored that the Blood Jade Fruit could extend life and had the miraculous effect of making one feel young again.

A Blood Jade Fruit took ten years of painstaking cultivation to produce one, and it might not even ripen. To put it bluntly, the value of all of them combined was not as much as a single Blood Jade Fruit.

And before he set out, the Grand Overseer had given him the Blood Jade Fruit he had treasured for many years, clearly having anticipated this scene.

The old man before him was greedy by nature, and raising the price on the spot was indeed detestable. But the Grand Overseer calculated human hearts and had accounted for everything; that was what was truly terrifying!

"I want this Blood Jade Fruit now, immediately!"

"Rest assured, Senior, we have long since prepared these things!"

Taking the Blood Jade Fruit from his bosom and handing it over, the middle-aged man said softly, "The Grand Overseer said this was originally a surprise for you after the deed was done!"

"Blood Jade Fruit, it really is a Blood Jade Fruit! Good, good! If you have any needs in the future, you can come find me at any time. Doing business with you is indeed refreshing!"

"Many thanks, Senior. If there is a need, this junior will certainly speak up!"

With a respectful look on his face, in reality, the middle-aged man beside him was already complaining internally: *Still come find you? Do you know how high your asking price is? *

The price for him alone was enough to empty their coffers; if he came a few more times, they would probably have to go out on the streets to beg for food.

However, this was also the most casual top-tier expert they had ever seen; as long as you could afford the price, he was willing to act. Perhaps he was the only one who was so straightforward.

For them, they didn't fear you asking for a price; they feared you acting cold and aloof and refusing to act.

Putting the Blood Jade Fruit into his bosom, the old man nodded. "Since you are so straightforward, this seat will not let you down. Wait here, this seat will be back in a moment!"

After the words fell, the old man's figure disappeared from where he stood. His speed was fast, so fast that one could barely see even an afterimage. Almost in the blink of an eye, he was near Shen Yu.

Shen Yu, in the distance, had just recovered from his comprehension of the Piaomiao Sword Technique when he suddenly felt a terrifying aura rushing toward him.

Subconsciously, he used the Piaomiao Sword Technique he had just obtained. The Piaomiao Sword Technique was formless, hidden, ever-changing, and impossible to grasp.

Sword Intent surged upward. In an instant, it was as if the surroundings were surrounded by Sword Intent; the wind and clouds became swords, the grass and trees became swords, the mountain rocks also became swords. Wherever his gaze reached, there was only Piaomiao Sword Intent.

One sword move and heaven and earth shook; one sword move and all things became swords. This was a breathtaking Martial Arts technique!

"Good sword technique, what a terrifying Martial Arts!" Facing the suddenly appearing terrifying Sword Intent, the old man's expression became significantly more cautious, and the aura on his body surged into the sky.

That terrifying pressure seemed to obscure the sun, moon, and stars, cleansing everything in the vicinity!

Just a moment ago, he thought his evaluation of this young man was high enough. Now it seemed it was not high enough, far from it.

He could even clearly see that with the young man's current internal energy, he could not perfectly execute such a sword technique. Even so, it was already breathtaking enough.

He had roamed the Jianghu for a hundred years and had only seen stronger Sword Intent in one person. Apart from that, he feared no one could contend with him!

If they were in the same realm, he might be defeated by this sword technique in an instant. If this young man took another step forward, he would likely pose a threat to him.

Such a genius always made one feel annoyed, made one feel displeased, and made one unable to help but harbor the intent to kill!

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and the old man no longer held back. His terrifying aura covered the sky and blocked the sun, pressing down on Shen Yu like a magnificent force.

He wanted to use the huge gap in strength to simply crush the junior before him.

No matter how flashy your moves are, no matter how powerful your Martial Arts, in the face of an absolute gap in strength, it is nothing but a joke.

"Who is there?" The sudden pressure caused Shen Yu's expression to change drastically. That terrifying aura was like the vault of heaven pressing down, making him tremble uncontrollably. It felt as if even breathing had become exceptionally difficult.

The opponent's power absolutely surpassed that of a Grandmaster; it was a realm beyond imagination, an all-encompassing suppression from internal energy to Mental Power.

"It has been so many years; I have not made a move against a Grandmaster for a long time. Little junior of the Jianghu, to die at my hands today is your honor!"
