Chapter 310: What Is There to Fear

"So strong!"

For some reason, the Shen Yu before their eyes had suddenly become terrifyingly powerful. In the eyes of Du Xiyin and her companion, he was overwhelmingly strong, even leaving them with a sense of powerlessness that made them afraid to resist.

If this were in the past, they would have been the ones tormenting others; when had they ever been tormented like this by someone else?

Especially since they were being held up by Shen Yu, one in each hand, like marionettes; any resistance was so weak and feeble, having absolutely no effect at all.

Fortunately, there was no one else around to see this, otherwise, they would have lost all face.

Exchanging a glance, the two of them, while resisting helplessly, struggled to raise their respective palms and pressed them together.

In an instant, dark clouds rolled across the sky with peals of thunder, and rain that could dissolve souls and erode bones began to fall. Everywhere it passed, vegetation withered and turned yellow, all vitality vanished, leaving only an endless, deathly silence.

Subsequently, the torrential rain poured down directly onto Shen Yu like water from the nine heavens, stirring up a surge of waves.

However, this rain, which meant certain death upon contact, fell onto Shen Yu without causing any reaction at all.

The young man before them was like a bottomless abyss, capable of absorbing all power, as if no attack or method could ever fill him.

Meanwhile, their own auras were constantly weakening, and their strength was being rapidly dissipated. In just a single encounter, the momentum of offense and defense had completely reversed!

In the end, facing such terrifying power, they seemed to have no choice but to compromise and bend their knees.

"Shen Yu, I can tell you anything you want to know, can you let go first!"

"Let go? Are you two overthinking things?" Tightening his grip on the two, Shen Yu looked at them coldly.

"I only want your lives right now, I don't want to listen to your chatter!"

"Shen Yu, if you didn't want to know something from our mouths, you would have killed us directly just now. Why would you only weaken our power, and why would you say so much nonsense to us!"

"Smart!" Frowning slightly, these old monsters who had lived for so long were indeed not easy to fool.

It was a pity that he could not probe into their Spiritual Sea, otherwise, why would he need to say so much to them.

"The Broken Sword in your hands is not Mu Zishan's Broken Sword at all. You can fool Han Zhang, but you can't fool me!"

"Speak, where have you hidden Mu Zishan's Broken Sword?"

"The Broken Sword is not in our hands now; we have already given it to someone else."

"Shen Yu, I know you won't let us go, but before you act, can you satisfy a small request of mine? As long as you agree, I can tell you the location of the Broken Sword!"

After speaking, Du Xiyin gave Shen Yu a difficult smile; her face, flushed red from suffocation, looked like a bright peach blossom, and for a moment, it seemed to carry a unique temptation.

It was as if the person before her was not her enemy of Life and Death, but the dream lover she had long admired, making one want to hold her in their hands at all costs.

"Shen Yu, I don't know how many years have passed since I began practicing in my sect; all these years, others have feared me like tigers and wolves."

"To tell you the truth, I have yet to experience relations between a man and a woman, and I yearn for it greatly."

"But other men are like dust; I don't fancy any of them. Only a genius like you is qualified to be my first man. If you can agree to me, I will have no regrets even in death!"

"Tsk tsk, do you think I'm stupid? Your body is poisonous, I wouldn't dare touch it!"

The force with which he gripped her neck increased a little more. Shen Yu was not just gripping her neck; he was using this to seal Du Xiyin's cultivation, leaving her unable to move.

This woman was truly not honest. He hadn't expected her to have this kind of charm technique; if his resistance hadn't been far beyond what it used to be, he might have actually given in.

But once he thought about how old she might be, the ripples in Shen Yu's heart immediately cooled.

Just kidding, Madam—no, old lady—if I really agreed to you, I would suffer a huge loss.

"Shen Yu, are you really so unromantic that you won't even fulfill my last wish?"

For a moment, Du Xiyin appeared pitiful, making one want to pull her into their arms and cherish her. However, Shen Yu remained as cold as ice, unmoved from beginning to end.

"Du Xiyin, your charm technique is far inferior to Mo Sanniang's. Don't go around showing off this embarrassing charm technique!"

"Mo Sanniang? You actually know Mo Sanniang?"

"Pink Skeleton Mo Sanniang, death upon contact!" Holding the other person with one hand, Shen Yu looked coldly at the two people before him. "Just a short while ago, Mo Sanniang and her two companions died at my hands!"

"What?" This news was nothing short of shocking to them. Who was Mo Sanniang? One only had to look at the reputation circulating outside to know.

Let alone ordinary men, even women who encountered her found it very difficult to resist her charm arts. Most people would walk away when they saw Mo Sanniang.

To think that even Mo Sanniang died at Shen Yu's hands; should they say their defeat was not a loss!

"You old monsters, some like to toy with emotions, some practice Harvesting Yang to Replenish Yin, and some like to feed on joy, anger, sorrow, and fear. You are truly one more wretched than the next."

"To tell you the truth, you will die today, but there are different ways to die. Speak, where is the Broken Sword?"

Just at this moment, a loud noise seemed to come from afar, a sound that seemed to shake the heavens and the earth. The earth was trembling, the sky was screaming, and the endless night seemed to shroud all light.

"Hahaha!" Seeing this scene, Du Xiyin could not help but laugh out loud, her whole person appearing as if she had gone mad.

"Shen Yu, you want to stop all this, but unfortunately it's too late. Even if you get the Broken Sword, so what? Our goal has been achieved, the Great Contention Era is coming!"

As she spoke, Du Xiyin looked Shen Yu up and down, as if looking at prey, her eyes filled with greed.

At this moment, it was as if Du Xiyin had transformed into the hunter, and Shen Yu was the prey.

"Shen Yu, a genius like you has a fatal temptation for us. Once those people awaken, everyone will spare no cost to devour you!"

"You are like a glow in the dark night; no matter where you flee, you will be that dazzling. You cannot hide!"

"You can kill us today, but others will kill you another day, and that day will arrive very soon."

"Is that so?" Shen Yu sensed the change in the distance, and his mood was worse than ever before. Could it be that these two were just Chess Pieces meant to stall him!

Seeing Shen Yu's current expression, Du Xiyin smiled lightly, and in the blink of an eye, her face showed a bit more triumph. "Shen Yu, are you afraid?"

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, this old lady is not to be trifled with either. Shen Yu, you may be strong, but you shouldn't have given us so much time to catch our breath."

"I have a technique, called Snake Shedding!"

A cold light flashed in her eyes, and then Du Xiyin's aura rapidly declined until not a trace of vitality remained.

No matter how one looked at it, Du Xiyin seemed to have completely perished, with not a shred of aura left. But the key was that he hadn't even made a move yet; how did she die?

Shen Yu then gave a cold smile and looked into the distance. Although Du Xiyin's body had withered, her remnant soul had already escaped.

This time, the Temporary Experience Card he crushed allowed him to experience the power of the Master.

The Master's power was like the heavens and earth; although the change just now was somewhat unexpected, he quickly captured it again.

This was escaping at the cost of abandoning the physical shell; abandoning not just the shell, but also all of one's cultivation and power.

To have such decisiveness, to be able to discard the power that was not easily accumulated at a critical moment the instant it was needed, it is no wonder they have been able to live for so long.

However, for the other party to think they could escape using only such a small trick, they are truly underestimating the power currently under my control.
