Chapter 583: Hindsight is 20/20, Who Doesn't Know How to Do That?

"Well done!"

As Hua Wuyi's words fell, over a dozen figures emerged on the surrounding rooftops, looking down at this place from a position of advantage.

Every single figure was at least a Transcendence Realm existence, and each one possessed a fierce killing intent, radiating a terrifying aura.

The leader even possessed the cultivation of the True Soul Realm, which truly gave Shen Yu a shock. He had not expected that, apart from those old relics he had met before, there were still True Soul Realm experts around.

At this moment, Hua Wuyi had already retreated to a spot far away, quietly looking over here.

As for Liang Ruyue, he had wanted to make a move at the very beginning, but he was firmly locked on by several streams of Qi and blood, making it impossible for him to act; he could only watch Hua Wuyi retreat.

At the same time, countless Runes rose up all around them, directly trapping Shen Yu and his group inside.

"Hua Wuyi, you!" At this point, if Liang Ruyue still couldn't see what was going on, he would truly be a fool.

Glaring viciously at Hua Wuyi, Liang Ruyue drew his blade and shouted coldly, "The Hua Family truly harbors evil intentions! Do you believe we will uproot the Hua Family entirely?"

"Liang Ruyue, there is no need for you to use the Hua Family to threaten me. Whether such a family perishes or not, what does it have to do with me?"

"You think you know what kind of life I, the eldest young master of the Hua Family, have lived? It is a life you cannot even imagine!"

Standing outside the Runes, Hua Wuyi looked at the still-struggling Shen Yu inside, a faint, imperceptible smile of triumph appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"My third brother was named the successor of the Hua Family, while I, the eldest young master and a legitimate son of the Hua Family, was raised to be a Poison Person."

"They said my body was a Hundred Poison Spirit Body, capable of devouring and refining a hundred poisons. Therefore, every day and every night, they irrigated me with a hundred poisons, and I endured the agony of a hundred poisons devouring my heart every single day."

"Day after day, year after year, without a moment of rest, all just to cultivate me into the strongest weapon."

"So, in truth, the blood in my body is the most toxic poison of the Hua Family. I am the most toxic Poison Person of the Hua Family, and also the Hua Family's strongest weapon!"

As he spoke, Hua Wuyi bowed slightly to Shen Yu again. "Official Shen, I am sorry, I lied to you!"

"I know!" Seeming completely indifferent to all of this, Shen Yu did not even have a change in expression, as if he did not take it to heart at all.

However, this attitude caused Hua Wuyi's face to twitch slightly.

Having exhausted all his efforts to set up such a massive trap, and having succeeded in the end, only to have the other party remain aloof and indifferent—who could stand that?

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat him, he would have really wanted to run inside and provoke Shen Yu.

"So Mu Qingkuang was just a piece of bait for you all?" Shen Yu asked while using all his strength to suppress the poison in his body, looking at the experts eyeing him covetously all around.

"You sacrificed him just so I would trust you and let my guard down?"

"Yes!" Raising his head again, there was only coldness in Hua Wuyi's eyes—a coldness that made people tremble. It was as if he cared for nothing and was indifferent to everything.

"From beginning to end, Mu Qingkuang was merely a piece of bait; even he himself did not know this."

"However, his death was worth it; at the very least, he wounded you, Official Shen."

"Actually, none of us thought he could do it, but he managed it nonetheless. The World's Number One Assassin is well-deserved of his reputation!"

"Of course, my Hua Family's Hero Blood also contributed significantly!" Although he said this, the moment he thought of the scene he had just witnessed, Hua Wuyi felt a wave of trepidation.

The Hua Family's strongest hidden weapon, the most terrifying weapon said to never be used unless the family faced the danger of total destruction, had only caused a meager amount of damage in the end.

And that was only because Shen Yu was afraid of harming the surrounding commoners and had taken all the attacks alone; one could see how terrifying this man Shen Yu was.

"Mu Qingkuang was indeed ruthless enough—ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to himself. To actually be able to cripple his own cultivation and carve his flesh to hide a weapon inside his body—no wonder he could become the number one assassin!"

"But he still failed, so you had to step up. Do you really think your blood can wound me?"

Clenching his palm tightly, Shen Yu mobilized all his strength to suppress the toxin; the invasion of the deadly poison had gradually slowed down.

"Shen Yu, Official Shen, you must have felt how terrifying my blood is, not to mention that I added a little something extra to the blood. It is like lamp oil poured onto a fire; it will make the poison become exceptionally violent. You should have already felt this, Official Shen."

"Perhaps this poison might not be able to kill you, but it is enough to suppress all the cultivation in your body!"

While speaking, Hua Wuyi looked up at Shen Yu; he could detect that the Official Shen before him was growing weaker and weaker. This poison had already entered the bone marrow!

"I wonder how much strength Official Shen has left to use at this moment? Can you withstand the combined assault of so many experts?"

"If you mobilize your cultivation to deal with our experts here, you will inevitably be unable to block the invasion of the poison. But if you do not use your cultivation, you cannot block these experts."

"Faced with this dilemma, how should you choose, Official?"

"Damn it!" Hearing the conversation between these two, the more he listened, the more something felt off. The leader of the people outside leaped to the front of Hua Wuyi.

Seeing him, Hua Wuyi immediately bowed to show respect. This master was someone he could not afford to offend!

"Hua Wuyi, didn't you say that the poison of your family combined with your own Heart Blood Essence would be foolproof?"

"You've wasted so much breath talking to him, wasn't it just to wait for him to be completely poisoned? Why is he still standing, and why do we have to go and fight him!"

Can this be blamed on me? Shen Yu's cultivation has indeed reached the pinnacle. Everyone knows he is strong, but who knew he could be this strong?

The mixed poison of the Hua Family's Three Great Strange Poisons, plus his own Heart Blood Essence—such a deadly poison could even wipe out the people of an entire city in an instant. Ordinary experts would even turn into pools of blood upon contact.

Theoretically, such a violent poison should be impossible for even the strongest expert to withstand. Yet, the person before us has held on, and he simply won't fall. What can I do!

Glancing at Shen Yu's side, Hua Wuyi felt a bit uneasy and took two more steps back.

"Sir, I also did not expect Shen Yu to be able to hold on for so long, but all the cultivation in his body has already been suppressed by the toxin, and even so, he has not been able to completely block the invasion of the poison!"

"With the experts we have here, plus the coordination of the Great Array, it should be enough!"

"What do you mean 'should be enough'? What a useless thing! Don't tell me we really have to throw our lives at him!" Looking in Shen Yu's direction, the leading old man felt a bit of fear.

He had participated in the siege of Mu Zishan back in the day and knew how terrifying people like Mu Zishan were; as long as they didn't completely fall, who knew when they might launch a desperate counterattack.

He had thought it was a foolproof plan, but who would have thought it would still fall short by a hair? This Shen Yu was even more terrifying than imagined.

"Prepare!" Watching Shen Yu seemingly about to suppress the deadly poison, the old man could not help but feel a palpitation. With a wave of his hand, the surrounding experts quickly gathered by his side.

Watching all this quietly, Shen Yu did not have a shred of worry. "You think you have already won, but have you not considered that you might lose?"

"Shen Yu, things have come to this point, why bother with such nonsense? Our morale is not something that can be shaken by a few words from you!"

"Hua Wuyi, you are indeed very clever to have been able to deceive my eyes, but in truth, I have never trusted you. I have been suspicious of you from the very beginning!"

Although he knew that what Shen Yu said might be a lie, Hua Wuyi still could not help but ask, "Why?"

"Because when we just learned that the commoners were poisoned, you mentioned two methods for detoxification. One was to concoct an antidote, and the second was to use immense cultivation to forcibly extract the poison. Weren't you just saying that for me to hear?"

"The speaker had an intention, so the listener naturally began to suspect!"

"Good, a very good Shen Yu. Since you were suspicious, how could you still be trapped here?"

"When it comes down to it, it's nothing more than a fig leaf you've used to save your own face; who isn't good at being a Monday-morning quarterback? We've reached this point, so Lord Shen, stop pretending; is there any point?"

"Heh, believe whatever you want to believe; I just hope you don't regret it later!"
