Chapter 309: This Is Absolutely Impossible!
"You can't do this, you have to save me!"
Seeing the Sword Intent on Shen Yu nearby growing increasingly terrifying, Han Zhang felt like a small boat in an ocean storm, liable to capsize at any moment.
He could fully imagine the sight of the Sword Qi in Shen Yu's hand descending; his own pride-and-joy strength would surely be fragile, and he would be torn to shreds.
And the Broken Sword in his hand had just been secretly tested; sure enough, it was devoid of all spirituality, with not a shred of power remaining.
At this moment, Han Zhang even had the urge to curse out loud; they were being too treacherous. Even if they wanted to lure Shen Yu over, they shouldn't have only added a tiny bit of power to this imitation Broken Sword.
This sword would exhaust all its power after a single swing; what was he supposed to do? Facing Shen Yu, wasn't it just asking for trouble for his old arms and legs to resist?
"Let me out, hurry and let me out. Whatever price you want me to pay, as long as you let me live, I'll agree to anything!"
"Hahaha!" Hearing Han Zhang shout such cowardly words, Du Xiyin couldn't help but laugh out loud, though her smile was permeated with endless indifference.
"I heard that you, Han Zhang, were once a hero who feared neither life nor death. I never expected that one day you would grovel and beg just to stay alive!"
"It's a pity, you're already useless. You said it yourself, that is Shen Yu; even we dare not easily face him head-on. So, we can only say we're sorry!"
"Wait, wait!" Retreating step by step, Han Zhang hurriedly shouted, "Doesn't your Ping Tower claim that as long as one can pay the price, all wishes can be fulfilled?"
"I can trade with you; state your conditions, I will agree to anything!"
"Our Ping Tower does indeed claim that as long as the price is paid, anything can be accomplished. But you right now are just a stray dog with nothing left; you can't afford anything."
"The transaction cannot be completed because of this; what can we do?"
"That's not what you said before!" As Shen Yu drew closer and closer, Han Zhang's face was drenched in cold sweat, and his voice grew increasingly urgent.
"When you wanted me to bring Mu Zishan's Broken Sword, you promised me! You can't do this, what about the reputation of Ping Tower!"
"Reputation? Hah!" Looking coldly at the nearly groveling Han Zhang inside, Du Xiyin just sneered; she loved the look of people struggling in their death throes.
The more Han Zhang struggled and the more terrified and uneasy he became, the more excited she felt.
"The reputation of Ping Tower is something we bestowed upon it. If we don't want this reputation anymore, then there is no need for it to exist. Besides, we have already finished what we wanted to do; what does it matter whether Ping Tower exists or not?"
"Furthermore, if Ping Tower's reputation is lost, we can just build a High Tower, a Low Tower, or whatever; we can create any organization we want at any time."
"You, you people!"
"Now that Shen Yu has taken the bait, you are useless!" Continuing to look at him coldly, as if she were not looking at a person, but at a weed or a piece of trash to be discarded at will.
Du Xiyin licked her lips, but the smile revealed in her eyes made one's blood run cold.
"Even if Shen Yu doesn't kill you, we want to swallow you up!"
"Besides, do you think Shen Yu has been delaying killing you for no reason? He is waiting for us to open the Great Array and let you out. At that time, the Great Array will be affected to some degree, and might even crack open a gap."
"And he, Shen Yu, will take advantage of this opportunity to find a way to escape!"
"So we definitely cannot let you out. Rest assured, your sacrifice will not be meaningless!"
"Screw you, who the hell wants to sacrifice themselves for you!" At this moment, Han Zhang completely gave up hope; he realized that these two unreliable people outside would absolutely never let him leave.
Looking back at the murderous Shen Yu, Han Zhang hurriedly shifted his target and begged bitterly, "Master Shen, can you spare my life? I just want to live."
"I didn't think they would deceive me, and I never thought that one false step would lead to eternal regret. I am willing to make amends for my crimes; I am willing to perform meritorious service to redeem myself!"
"Heh, what do you think?" Having reached this point, Shen Yu no longer held back. He swung his sword down heavily, and the terrifying Sword Qi directly engulfed Han Zhang.
In the end, Han Zhang didn't even leave behind a scream before turning into a cloud of red dust.
Han Zhang was, after all, a hero who once didn't change his expression even after being stabbed a dozen times; who would have thought he would be so afraid of death now? Lord Chen Xing was right, the human heart is indeed easily changed.
Moreover, Du Xiyin was right just now; Shen Yu did indeed want to see if those two outside would let Han Zhang out, so he could take the opportunity to pry open the Great Array and retrieve the Mountain and River Map trapped inside.
Pity, the other party clearly had no intention of letting Han Zhang live. He was just a discarded pawn, the kind you throw away after using. It was a waste of all the effort he had put into creating a tense atmosphere just now.
In the end, one still has to rely on oneself!
After trying secretly a few more times, the Mountain and River Map remained trapped by the Array Rune and could not break free.
Gritting his teeth, since that was the case, he wouldn't use the Mountain and River Map; couldn't he defeat these two on his own?
Just at this moment, Du Xiyin flashed and came directly into the Great Array, wanting to forcibly seize the Mountain and River Map, but was repelled by the power of the Mountain and River Map.
The next moment, Du Xiyin flashed outside the Great Array with an ugly expression, a hint of greed on her face.
Seeing this scene, Shen Yu stopped his previous secret movements. The other party actually seemed capable of breaking through space and moving at will.
That made sense; if they could carve the power to break through space into the fake Broken Sword given to Han Zhang, there was no reason they couldn't do it themselves.
In that case, as long as they were willing, they could run away at any time even if they couldn't win.
Unless he could completely crush them or achieve a one-hit kill, otherwise, once the other party ran, he would only be left miserably chasing after them.
And there were two of them; if they ran in different directions, he would be at a loss.
Therefore, he could not fight a war of attrition; if he fought, he had to strike true in one blow. He still had a trump card in his hand!
Staring fixedly at the two people outside, the next moment Shen Yu secretly gripped a Temporary Experience Card and crushed it fiercely; a brilliant light enveloped him.
Immediately after, Shen Yu felt infinite power surging from within his body, as if his cultivation had instantly exceeded his original level by countless times; the power, deep and bottomless like the vast starry sky, gave him immense confidence.
A smile played on the corners of his mouth, and his figure vanished from within the Great Array.
Du Xiyin and her companion outside had been observing Shen Yu the whole time; seeing him suddenly disappear, they were slightly stunned. They hurriedly activated the Great Array, wanting to use it to find his location.
But before they could react, Shen Yu had already arrived in the next moment, his terrifying power sweeping away everything.
"Shen Yu? Impossible, you were clearly trapped by the Great Array, how could you possibly escape..."
"What can a mere Array do to me?" With one hand for each, he grabbed them both directly.
"There is one thing you might not know: I possess Void Power; all arrays in the world are useless against me!"
"What?" There was actually someone in this world who could ignore arrays? They always said these geniuses among geniuses were prone to dumb luck and often had deep fortune, but ignoring all arrays in the world was just too damn lucky.
Grabbed by Shen Yu, the two struggled desperately to break free, only to find that their entire strength seemed to have sunk into the sea, leaving no trace.
"No, your realm, your cultivation, it's impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Only now did they feel the terrifying realm of Shen Yu; it seemed even they couldn't sense it, only feeling a sense of palpitation and insignificance rising from the bottom of their hearts, making them feel vaguely uneasy.
It was as if they were facing an insurmountable mountain, a bottomless abyss, capable of crushing and drowning them with ease.
Who exactly is the one who has lived for countless years? You can't play like this!
