Chapter 432: Where Did This Greenhorn Come From?

"It's not going to hold!"

Xiaodie's frail body stood in front of him, sparing Tao Xi from the fate of being instantly devoured and reduced to white bones.

Although he did not know where the power on Xiaodie came from, he could clearly see that this power was rapidly weakening.

It might not take long for this power to be completely exhausted, and the fate awaiting them would remain unchanged.

The power Shen Yu had left behind was not much; it was certainly enough to deal with ordinary people, but it was naturally insufficient when facing an old monster of unfathomable depth. Being able to hold on until now was already quite impressive.

"Oh no, Xiaodie!"

Suddenly, the power on the maid Xiaodie shattered completely, and the terrifying power spreading from the gap was about to swallow them.

But at this moment, a figure appeared and blocked their path, and a vast power descended, instantly severing all the spreading dark energy.

In just a moment, that heart-palpitating, terrifying power dissipated into nothingness, and the gap in the Array was blocked tightly.

Although the Tao Family was still shaking violently—that was the result of the people inside unwillingly striking again and again—not a shred of dark energy was leaking out from within anymore.

Looking at the figure that had suddenly appeared, everyone was struck with fear and trembling for a moment.

Although the Tao Family members did not yet know who the newcomer was, they were certain that this person must be an expert among experts. Just that move from before made Shen Yu's figure appear exceptionally tall.

"Xiaodie, th-this person is..."

"Young Master, I don't know him."

"You don't know him?" He clearly felt that the power just emitted from Xiaodie was very similar to this person's aura; it might even be the same person.

Coupled with the fact that the other party had suddenly appeared to protect them when Xiaodie was in danger, Tao Xi subconsciously assumed this was Xiaodie's backer.

But seeing Xiaodie's equally bewildered expression, Tao Xi knew she was also confused. What kind of relationship could there be between this young man who appeared and Xiaodie? Master and disciple? Father and daughter? It couldn't be lovers, could it!

"No wonder he could survive in the hands of Mu Zishan; it turns out he was suppressed by an Array!"

With just one glance, Shen Yu understood the situation. Although the opponent was strong, he was suppressed by the Array, and less than one-tenth of his strength could leak out. Otherwise, there would be no survivors in the Tao Family after that last strike.

However, he should also be grateful; the reason he was able to survive in the hands of Mu Zishan was thanks to this Array suppressing all his aura.

Otherwise, if even a hint of his aura had leaked, Mu Zishan would have taken them all away before leaving.

"May I ask if you are Shen Yu, Lord Shen?"

At this moment, Tao Yi's weak voice drifted over slowly, and Tao Yi hurried over, supported by the people beside him.

When he walked close to Shen Yu, he was finally able to be completely certain, and the expression on his face was almost distorted by fear.

If he had known that this gentleman was standing behind Xiaodie, he would never have dared to harbor any designs on this little girl.

Who was Shen Yu? If he touched his people, would he still have any hope?

"My Lord, may I ask what your relationship is with Xiaodie..."

"A chance encounter at a teahouse this morning. I heard someone had designs on this little girl, so I casually left some power on her to prevent some people from bullying others by relying on their status!"

"I originally thought it was just a casual gesture, but I didn't expect that in broad daylight and under the clear sky, there would actually be people who dare to bully others by relying on their status and oppress the good!"

As the words fell, Tao Yi and the lucky survivor Cen Ji shivered at the same time, too scared to speak, stammering.

Gu Quan

Although it sounded like Shen Yu had no relationship with the little girl, the fact that he left power on her already spoke for itself, and they had actually dared to make a move against her.

To put it more severely, it was not impossible for it to be viewed as a provocation.

Moreover, it was rumored that this gentleman was most intolerant of evil, so facing "villains" like them, would he be acting for the sake of chivalry in a moment?

"It's over!" Exchanging glances, Tao Yi felt like tearing Cen Ji apart. It was one thing for you to court death yourself, but why drag their Tao Family along?

They had calculated everything, but how could they have failed to account for the fact that a little maid could have a trump card, and a trump card who liked to start hacking people at the slightest disagreement?

But after waiting and waiting, they didn't wait for Shen Yu's killing blow. When they looked up, they found that he was quietly observing the Golden Rune floating in mid-air.

As for the two of them, it was as if they hadn't been taken to heart at all. And rightly so; they were just small fry, not even worth a second glance.

"This Array is interesting, but since there's a gap, it won't last long!" After a careful look, Shen Yu was basically able to determine the state of the Array.

The entire Tao Family was a Great Array, and everyone in the Tao Family was nourishment for the Great Array. This Array was laid out very cleverly, but unfortunately, a crack had opened in the perfect Array.

Since this opening had appeared, it would only get bigger and bigger, and the power leaking out from the opponent would also increase.

In the end, the Array would collapse completely, and at that time, the Tao Family, which served as the foundation of the Array, would be destroyed along with the collapse of the Array in the first instance; no one in the Tao Family should be able to survive under this destructive force.

"Bang, bang!" The terrifying power beneath the Array began to strike at the Array again, especially targeting the gap.

Although this place had been patched by Shen Yu with his own power, it was still the weakest point of the entire Great Array. Moreover, Shen Yu was not familiar with this set of Arrays, and the power he had casually used to patch it was not perfect.

Perhaps it was because the opponent had just seen the hope of breaking the seal that they became even more desperate; strike after strike, it seemed as if they would never stop until they broke through.

"How annoying!"

Feeling the continuous tremors coming from beside him, Shen Yu also became a bit impatient. I've given you enough face, haven't I?

He unfolded the Mountain and River Map directly, covering the entire Tao Family, ensuring that no matter which direction the opponent escaped from, they would be covered by the Mountain and River Map.

Afterwards, Shen Yu directly withdrew all the power he had used to patch the Array, and incidentally knocked the gap in the Array even wider, and easily shattered a few more pieces of the Golden Rune, making it easier for the opponent to escape.

Perhaps seeing hope and feeling the Array becoming weaker, the opponent struck even more violently.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the gap grew larger and larger, and in the end, many of the Golden Runes covering it had developed cracks.

Without the replenishment of energy, it was only a matter of time before this Array was broken, and at this moment, the opponent seemed to pause slightly.

But Shen Yu understood that the opponent wasn't tired and resting, but was brewing an even more powerful strike.

He could feel that an unprecedented, terrifying power was brewing beneath the Array. This strike would surely be earth-shattering.

"Boom!" Accompanied by a violent roar, the final power that had been accumulated for a long time sprayed out through the gap in the Array, just like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and with this, the entire Great Array collapsed across the board.

The dark and terrifying power instantly broke free and spread in all directions, causing everyone in the Tao Family to change color, their legs trembling.

If it weren't for the calm and composed Shen Yu here, they would have already run for their lives.

"I'm out, I'm finally out!" Amidst the dark energy, a voice filled with extreme excitement, though aged, came through, as if to announce his rebirth to the World.

However, immediately after, Shen Yu would teach him what the cruelty of the world meant.

You think you're free just because you're out? You're overthinking it!
