Chapter 55: Are You Surprised?

"A good show, truly a good show!"

Standing in the distance, quietly watching everything happening here, Mo Xuesheng became increasingly satisfied; these were all your own masterpieces. Being able to watch with one's own eyes one's own masterpieces exert such tremendous effect is one of the great joys in life.

After taking the blood poison he meticulously concocted, these people's blood Qi, energy, and even lifespans would be consumed at high speed in exchange for power that surged several times over. Just like fireworks, after blooming with the most brilliant light, they would completely dissipate from this world.

Moreover, blood poison is poison by nature; from the moment these people took it, they were destined to have only one ending. Either die of exhaustion in a frenzy, or eventually die from the poison taking effect.

"Tower Master, your medicine is truly formidable!" The person who looked like a butler standing to the side could not help but exclaim; he had originally thought his Tower Master had been messing around blindly for so many years. His usual praise was merely to flatter his superior, and he never felt this lousy medicine could have any effect.

But seeing it today, he never expected the effect of this medicine to be surprisingly good, good enough to be astonishing.

"That goes without saying, this is something I meticulously cultivated for over ten years before completing. It's a pity, though; the medicinal effect only lasts for one hour. After one hour, these people's blood and energy will decline, and they will be either dead or crippled! This kind of medicine is our trump card; it must never be easily exposed!"

"This subordinate understands, there will absolutely be no one left alive to get out!"

"That is very good!" Nodding with great satisfaction, Mo Xuesheng then looked at Shen Yu, who was still pressing forward unyieldingly, and frowned slightly. "However, the strength of this little County Magistrate is indeed beyond my expectations. It is no wonder that the many experts who surrounded and killed him were completely wiped out. What do you say?"

"Tower Master is wise. This County Magistrate is of superb strength and cannot be matched by ordinary people; these people all died at the hands of that little County Magistrate! Although my Golden Rain Tower tried our best to assist, in the end, it was of no avail, implicating many fellow martial artists in disaster!"

"Hmm, very good!" Nodding, Mo Xuesheng said no more and turned to look at the battlefield in the distance. The situation there did not seem as perfect as he had imagined.

"Kill!" As time ticked by, Shen Yu, who was constantly fighting among the crowd, felt the pressure growing greater and greater. These people opposite were not only becoming increasingly manic, but their strength also seemed to be constantly increasing.

Moreover, there was not a shred of consciousness left in their eyes. That look was just like bloodthirsty, frenzied beasts; one could not see any rationality in their eyes, as if only slaughter remained, the kind that would fight until death.

They did not fear pain, did not fear Life and Death, and only knew how to charge and kill regardless of everything. Especially since these people were numerous, it truly brought Shen Yu no small amount of trouble.

"Not right, there is poison in the blood, ruthless enough!" Fresh blood dripped down between his clothes and hair, while the Jade Bead for avoiding poison bloomed with a faint blue light at this moment, which also gave Shen Yu a shock.

In a fight with so many people, getting stained with some blood is inevitable, and who would care? Little did they know that there was actually a deadly poison hidden in these people's blood, which could make one fall into a trap without even realizing it.

The other side simply did not intend to let these people who were fighting him return alive; they clearly treated them as consumables, using their lives to exhaust his strength at all costs.

His gaze could not help but look into the distance; this ruthlessness alone was enough to make one's hair stand on end.

"Must finish the battle quickly!" Fortunately, these people were not too many. As time passed, more than half had already fallen under his sword. For those remaining, Shen Yu decided to make one final push and finish the battle quickly.

The sharpness of the Yuanhong Sword combined with the edge of the Flying Immortal from Beyond, the Sword Qi rained down like light, stirring up waves of blood wherever it passed. The Spiral Nine Shadows of the Nine Yin Manual was used by Shen Yu to the extreme, with trails of afterimages weaving through the crowd.

Every time the long sword in his hand swung down, it would flash with a heart-palpitating light like a long rainbow. Every time the light fell, several figures would fall. The rampaging Sword Qi seemed to want to sweep away everything, and the surrounding rocks and vegetation were all shattered.

"Hoo, hoo!" He did not know how much time had passed when the last sword strike was swung. Shen Yu's face was pale, his whole body bathed in blood, and he gasped for breath. Looking up, there was no one left standing around him except for himself.

At this moment, Shen Yu seemed unable to hold on any longer, kneeling on one knee with his sword in both hands, as if only in this way could he barely support his body and keep himself from falling.

Just for this acting, he gave himself full marks. However, he was truly tired, but it was definitely not as serious as imagined. The bait had already been set, just waiting for the prey to come to the door!

"System, sign in!"

"Sign-in successful, obtained Thirty Years of Internal Energy!"

"Thirty Years of Internal Energy! It comes at just the right time!" Following a flash of light in the haze, Shen Yu felt the True Qi in his body surging rapidly, like a rushing river stirring up waves.

At this moment, Shen Yu felt as if he had been sitting in the void practicing for decades, diligently cultivating his internal energy without stopping. Thirty years of time passed in the blink of an eye, and only then did he suddenly open his eyes.

Thirty years of Inner Energy entered his body, not only filling his originally exhausted internal energy but also continuing to climb and grow at a very fast speed.

"Eighth Level of Innate Realm!" Feeling the powerful strength coming from his whole body, Shen Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. Even if these people racked their brains, they would never imagine that not only was he unscathed, but his cultivation had actually risen to a higher level.

I really want to see the expressions on these people's faces later; are they surprised, are they shocked!

"Actually still alive, what strong strength!" Looking at Shen Yu, who was kneeling on one knee and still refusing to fall, Mo Xuesheng in the distance could not help but exclaim. To be able to survive the desperate attacks of dozens of experts, this little County Magistrate is not very old, but his strength is surprisingly strong.

And just at this moment, Shen Yu in the distance moved, supporting himself with his sword to stand up with difficulty, and continued to try to walk toward here. That trembling appearance looked as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

An old actor; if this acting doesn't get an award, it wouldn't be worth his hard work!

"Tower Master, let us go and kill him!"

"No rush, let him crawl up slowly. Look at his current appearance, how much he looks like a poor and helpless stray dog!"

Looking down from a high position at the other party, the playful look in Mo Xuesheng's eyes was full of madness. Even such an expert was just a clown in his eyes now, and he could be toyed with at will.

"Hoo, hoo..." Crawling to the top of the mountain with difficulty, Shen Yu's pale face was already covered in sweat, mixed with blood, constantly flowing down.

"I have already come, let those commoners go!"

"Good, good!" Looking at Shen Yu who was close at hand, Mo Xuesheng could not help but clap his hands, and then said playfully, "But I regret it; I don't want to let them go now. Someone, bring them over, and execute them all right in front of Magistrate Shen!"

"You dare?"

"Why would I not dare?" With a disdainful, light laugh, Mo Xuesheng said indifferently, "How about it, does Magistrate Shen feel very helpless and useless? I wonder how much strength Magistrate Shen has left now? You can try and see if you can save them all!"

Mo Xuesheng originally wanted to see that kind of unwillingness and hatred in Shen Yu's eyes, but he was disappointed. There was nothing in Shen Yu's eyes; it was terrifyingly calm!

"Alright, then let's try it!" Just at this moment, Shen Yu suddenly gave a cold laugh. I don't know when, but a zither had appeared in his hands, a zither that looked quite extraordinary at first glance.

"Not right, kill him for me!" At this moment, Mo Xuesheng's heart tightened; instinctively feeling something was wrong, he immediately gave the order to all the killers around. Suddenly, countless people soared into the air, rushing toward Shen Yu, who was preparing to play the zither.

And at this time, Shen Yu had already placed his hands on the zither, and a strange and terrifying aura appeared, with waves of invisible power sweeping across the surroundings. The dozen or so killers who flew over and were closest were instantly torn to pieces.

"Sound wave technique, you are fine? So you have been lying to us all along?"

"What do you think? Are you surprised, are you shocked!"
