Chapter 647: You Cannot Escape It

"So strong!"

For some reason, the Shen Yu before their eyes had suddenly become terrifying. In the eyes of Du Xiyin and her companion, he was overwhelmingly powerful, to the point of giving them 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 feebly, struggled to raise their respective palms and press them together.

In an instant, dark clouds rolled across the sky with peals of thunder, and rain that could dissolve souls and erode bones poured down; wherever it passed, vegetation withered and yellowed, 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, had no reaction at all when it landed on Shen Yu.

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.

Yet their own auras were constantly weakening, and their power 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 whatever 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 waste so much breath talking to us!"

"Smart!" His brows furrowed 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 at all. You can deceive Han Zhang, but you can't deceive me!"

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

"The Broken Sword is not in our hands now; we have already handed it over 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 saying this, Du Xiyin gave Shen Yu a difficult smile; her face, flushed red from suffocation, looked like a vibrant peach blossom, and for a moment, it seemed to give off a unique allure.

It was as if the person before her was not her mortal enemy, but the dream lover she had longed for, 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 my cultivation in my sect; all these years, others have feared me like a tiger or wolf."

"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 a single one. Only a genius like you is qualified to be my first man. If you can agree to this, I will die without regrets!"

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

The strength in his hand gripping her neck increased a bit more; Shen Yu was not only gripping her neck but also using this to seal Du Xiyin's cultivation, leaving her unable to move.

This woman was truly restless; he hadn't expected her to have this trick of charm arts up her sleeve. If his resistance hadn't been far superior to before, 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, big sister—no, old lady—if I really agreed to you, I would be the one suffering 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 in the slightest from beginning to end.

"Du Xiyin, your charm arts are far inferior to Pink Skeleton Mo Sanniang's; don't go around showing off such embarrassing skills!"

"Mo Sanniang? You actually even know about Mo Sanniang?"

"Pink Skeleton Mo Sanniang, death upon contact!" Holding one of them in his 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 found it hard to resist her charm arts when they encountered her. Most people would walk away to avoid her when they saw Mo Sanniang.

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

"You old fogies—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 more wretched than the last."

"To tell you the truth, you will definitely 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 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 can get the Broken Sword, so what? Our goal has been achieved; the Great Contention Era is about to arrive!"

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 want to devour you at all costs!"

"You are like a glow in the dark night; no matter where you flee, you will be just as dazzling. You cannot escape it!"

"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. Could it be that these two were just Chess Pieces meant to stall him!

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

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, this lady isn't easy to mess with either. Shen Yu, you might be very strong, but you shouldn't have given us so much time to catch our breath."

"I have a technique, known as Snake Shedding!"

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

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

Immediately, Shen Yu smiled coldly 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 power of the Master was like heaven and earth; although the change just now was somewhat unexpected, it was quickly captured by him again.

This was an escape at the cost of abandoning her physical shell; abandoning not just the shell, but also effectively abandoning all her 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.
