Chapter 740: I've Got You Now!

"Lord Shen, in order to lure you here, I certainly had people spread quite a bit of news outside!"

"After waiting for so many days, I have finally waited for you; it truly wasn't easy!"

Looking at Shen Yu trapped inside, the young man could not help but look a bit smug.

In his view, the reason Shen Yu was attracted here was precisely because of the news he had spread.

He knew very well that someone like Shen Yu, who could not tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes, would certainly not sit idly by after learning the news here.

Moreover, they were hunting those awakened old monsters; if he learned that a large number of people had gone missing here and that there were vague signs of old monsters appearing, how could he not come to investigate?

Therefore, during this period, he had been waiting for Shen Yu to deliver himself to his doorstep.

In fact, he was really overthinking things. The pugilistic world was very chaotic right now, and situations similar to this were everywhere; towns and villages being slaughtered were also common occurrences.

If it weren't for the Compass pointing here, allowing Shen Yu to confirm that there were old monsters here, who knows when Shen Yu would have noticed this place.

Although the process did not match his plan, the result was the same: Shen Yu had already delivered himself to his doorstep.

Having fallen into this Barrier, no matter how great the other party's abilities were, they could not get out!

Previously, he had thought of countless methods and simulated them many times in his mind, all so that when the day came that Shen Yu appeared before his eyes, he could successfully trick him into falling into the trap.

Before Shen Yu arrived, he was very anxious; after all, this young man had a fierce reputation abroad and was famously known for killing without blinking.

If he were accidentally killed by him, that would be a loss that outweighed the gain.

But wealth is sought amidst danger; judging from the inheritance he had received, there was not much time left for him.

If he fought, there was still a hope of life; if he gave up, then only destruction awaited him in the end.

Since that was the case, why not go crazy for once? What if it worked?

But what he did not expect was that the countless plans he had rehearsed in his mind were of no use at all.

He had only rushed into this place after the Barrier reacted and he sensed that Shen Yu might be coming, in order to prevent being killed by Shen Yu the moment he arrived.

And the result? Who would have thought that this guy would actually follow him and jump down too.

This was him falling down on his own; how was this any different from a pie falling from the sky?

So they say, when luck comes, you can't stop it; Shen Yu's entire cultivation base was destined to belong to him.

This is fate; one must believe in fate!

Meanwhile, Shen Yu inside the Prison was carefully observing this cage, his mind not on the young man opposite him at all.

He only felt his power being frantically torn apart by some kind of energy; even though he tried his best to suppress it, he could not stop the dissipation of his cultivation base.

Facing such a Barrier, he was truly at a loss for a moment.

"Lord Shen, Shen Yu, do you feel your power constantly dissipating? Do you feel a bit of despair?"

Seeing that Shen Yu still ignored him, the smug young man outside could not help but speak again.

It was just like the saying that wealth without returning home is like wearing fine clothes in the dark; if he didn't show off in front of this so-called number one in the world, how could he show how powerful he was?

No matter how impressive you are, aren't you still just waiting to die obediently?

Seeing that Shen Yu still did not respond to him, the young man could not help but feel a bit embarrassed.

Up until now, Shen Yu had not even looked at him properly, and had not even asked about his name, clearly not taking him seriously at all.

You're a prisoner, yet you're still so arrogant? Are you asking for it?

"Shen Yu, are you trying to break through this place and escape?"

"It's useless; I advise you not to struggle too much."

"This place is as solid as a rock; let alone you, even those old monsters in their prime would only have to wait obediently to be slaughtered!"

Standing outside the Barrier, the young man's face was gloomy. You, Shen Yu, you really don't take me seriously!

I want to see if you will kneel and beg me to spare your life when you are about to die!

Just at this moment, Shen Yu struck again. The Haoran Righteous Qi within his body mixed with the Great Sun Power and surged out, the scorching aura seemingly roasting everything.

Under this palm, the space vibrated, and the torn space stirred up a storm; it was as if the end of the world had arrived inside the Barrier.

That instantaneous, terrifying power gave the smug young man outside a fright, his little heart thumping and unable to calm down.

This Shen Yu didn't strike if he didn't have to, but once he did, it was so terrifying; he almost thought the other party was going to break out.

Shen Yu had also struck once when he was first trapped, but at that time he knew he was being targeted by Shen Yu and was in a state of panic and unease.

Although he had enough confidence in the Barrier, it had only ever trapped sleeping old monsters and had never truly trapped a clear-headed expert like Shen Yu; who knew if it could hold him?

In his panic, he had no mind to pay attention to Shen Yu's initial strike.

At that time, he only felt a tremor, and the Barrier remained as solid as a rock without even a crack, so he knew Shen Yu definitely couldn't get out.

The power of this Barrier was exactly the same as recorded in the inheritance he had received.

It was precisely because of this that he dared to clamor at Shen Yu; otherwise, he would have hidden away long ago.

But at this moment, Shen Yu suddenly struck at him through the Barrier, and the terrifying phenomenon it created almost caused his heart and soul to shatter.

Fortunately, the Barrier only vibrated violently and then returned to normal, but this also showed Shen Yu's strength.

The title of number one in the world really wasn't just blown out of proportion.

But no matter how powerful you are, aren't you still unable to shake this place by even a fraction?

At this point, the young man was finally completely at ease.

"Lord Shen has good methods; you are the first person I have ever seen who could make this place vibrate like this!"

"However, there is one thing I almost forgot to tell Lord Shen: the Barrier here is based on the Bada Zhoucheng and is nourished by the essence and energy of tens of millions of people."

"It gathers the power of the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas within ten thousand miles of land and borrows the energy of the sun, moon, and stars to have such power!"

"If Lord Shen resists with all his might, I don't know if you can break free, but in any case, under the vibrations, this ten thousand miles of land will surely be shaken, and there will be countless casualties."

"Just with that palm strike of yours, Lord Shen, perhaps quite a few people have already been shaken to death!"

"If Lord Shen is truly powerful enough to break free from the shackles and shatter the Prison, then congratulations, it also means that the eight city-states and those ten thousand miles of land will all collapse."

"Within a radius of ten thousand miles, not a blade of grass will grow, and all of this will be your fault, Lord Shen."

"Right, and there are also those tens of millions of commoners within the Bada Zhoucheng!"

"Tsk tsk, I wonder if Lord Shen insists on breaking the formation, whether anyone will be able to survive when the earth shakes and the mountains sway; it's likely difficult!"

Speaking of this, the young man couldn't help but laugh out loud, as if he didn't take the lives of those commoners seriously at all.

In his view, only someone as pedantic and unbearable as Shen Yu would care about those ignorant masses who are like ants.

If their deaths could pave a path for him, that would be their glory.

As for what a hypocrite like Shen Yu would choose, he didn't care at all either.

Whether it is sacrificing oneself for the sake of the commoners and willingly stretching out one's neck for the slaughter, or preferring to sacrifice those ten million commoners for the hope of breaking out, none of this matters.

In any case, he definitely won't be able to get out, and no matter how much he struggles, it is all in vain.

The result is nothing more than letting him watch a grand show for free, and perhaps he might even get to see the hypocrite take off his disguise.

"Shen Yu, I have you right where I want you!"
