Chapter Seventeen: The True Secrets of Sunset Glow
Xu Wan's death caused Su Chen to lose his composure.
Su Chen couldn't say he liked the girl who came to the Su family to break off the engagement, but he also felt no ill will towards her at this moment.
He never even imagined that the other person would die like that, especially since it was because he wanted to save him.
Only when he looked at her lifeless body could he clearly understand that she had truly perished.
It's like a blue lotus flower withering away, its stillness exuding a deathly aura.
And the one who caused all of this was that masked man.
With eyes that seemed to rave about Su Yang, Su Chen roared and attacked him.
But Su Yang simply shifted his body to the side, dodging the weak fist, and secretly found it amusing.
"Is this all the strength you have? If that's all, then I won't hold back."
He casually reached out and grabbed Su Chen's arm, then gently applied force, followed by the sound of bones and flesh breaking and then coming back together, and Su Chen's painful screams.
With just a single grip, he crushed Su Chen's forearm.
Listening to the deafening roar, Su Yang wasn't in high spirits. After all, he wasn't a pervert and didn't enjoy torturing his own kind.
His eyes were devoid of emotion, and then he threw a punch. The punch was powerful, unlike Su Chen's powerlessness. His punch was enough to shatter Su Chen directly.
With a cold look in his eyes, Su Yang couldn't think of any way Su Chen could escape his fatal blow at this point.
"It should be over by now."
The thought crossed his mind, but his punches didn't falter.
But out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the mockery on Su Chen's lips.
His brows were furrowed; this was definitely not the expression of someone who was about to die.
But Su Yang really couldn't understand what he could rely on at this point.
Next, Su Yang's punch landed squarely on Su Chen's chest.
However, the force of the punch, which should have directly shattered his body, was blocked by a red light.
Feel the endless heat and the scorching heat like magma.
Su Yang sensed something was wrong.
"Senior, why did you help him?"
Looking at the illusory spirit that suddenly appeared behind Su Chen, Su Yang asked in confusion.
Xia Qianqiu was already a remnant soul, his divine wisdom dissipated, so he shouldn't be biased towards Su Chen. But at this moment, he clearly stood on Su Chen's side.
He even took the initiative to block Su Chen's attack.
Xia Qianqiu did not answer Su Yang's question, but stared blankly at Xu Wan, who was lying quietly on the ground.
But seeing him like this, Su Yang immediately realized he was in trouble! He secretly regretted his carelessness.
Recalling everything that had just happened, Su Yang guessed that Xia Qianqiu must have sensed the aura of the sword light that Xu Wan had emitted before her death, which was why she chose to reappear.
Indeed, Xia Qianqiu truly sensed the martial arts aura carried by the sword light before Xu Wan's death.
Moreover, when Su Yang killed Xu Wan, he originally wanted to save her, but with only a remnant soul left, his strength was less than a fraction of what it used to be, and it was too late.
They could only watch helplessly as the younger generation of the sect lost their lives at the hands of others.
"Who are you, and why are you killing my sect's disciples?"
Suspended in mid-air, his voice carried the majesty of a king. Even in his death, the power of his title still made Su Yang tremble.
His fist and arm were drawn in by the red light, and Su Yang wanted to retreat but couldn't do so no matter what.
Looking at Xia Qianqiu's illusory spirit body, Su Yang said urgently, "Senior, this disciple is a member of the Falling Clouds Sword Sect! The dead man was just a traitor to the sect, and the one behind you is her lover!"
Su Yang was utterly despicable, throwing mud at Su Chen and Xu Wan without restraint.
"Senior, don't believe him! Wan'er is Sect Master Xia's personal disciple, she's definitely not a traitor! This person isn't a disciple of the Sword Sect at all!"
Su Chen clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, sternly refuting Su Yang's words.
But this time, Xia Qianqiu clearly sided with Su Chen and did not believe what Su Yang said.
Flames erupted from his body, directly knocking Su Chen back.
Then, endless flames slowly enveloped and devoured Su Yang, eventually transforming him into a fiery cage.
"If you are also a descendant of the Falling Clouds Sword Sect, then let me see whether the jade token representing your identity, or the martial arts techniques you practice, truly originated from my Falling Clouds Sword Sect!"
Xia Qianqiu appeared inside the fireball cage, looked at Su Yang who was sealed in front of him, and said coldly.
The intense heat made Su Yang's internal organs feel uncomfortable.
Looking around, all he saw were orange-yellow flames.
But Su Yang was not flustered at all at this moment; in fact, he was surprisingly calm.
As long as this remnant soul can still reason with him and doesn't suddenly attack and kill him, he's not afraid.
"Senior, this disciple is truly a disciple of the Falling Clouds Sword Sect. Those people outside are just lying through their teeth. Don't believe me? Look!"
Su Yang confidently raised his right hand, and purple true energy instantly surged forth from it.
"The True Secrets of Sunset Glow! You actually know the True Secrets of Sunset Glow!"
Upon seeing the purple true energy in Su Yang's hand, Xia Qianqiu's voice boomed like thunder.
The fact that this person can cultivate a King-level technique, which can only be practiced by the lineage of the Luoxia Sword Sect's Sect Master, means that he is undoubtedly the current Sect Master's personal disciple and the young Sect Master of the Luoxia Sword Sect!
"Senior, do you believe in your disciple's identity now?"
Seeing that the remnant soul recognized his true energy, Su Yang felt relieved and continued, "Senior, those two not only betrayed the sect, but also stole the Tubu, attempting to seize your inheritance. I chased them here, but I did not expect to disturb you. I hope you will understand."
Su Yang spoke very sincerely, and regardless of whether others believed him or not, at least Xia Qianqiu believed him.
Xia Qianqiu nodded, realizing that she had trusted the wrong person.
Although Xu Wan's sword strike also possessed the martial arts aura of the Falling Clouds Sword Sect, it was naturally nothing compared to the unique "True Technique of Falling Clouds" of the sect leader's lineage.
"I never imagined that my mind would become less and less sharp over the years."
Shaking her head, Xia Qianqiu's words carried a hint of melancholy.
As someone who was once a king, it's no wonder he lamented so much that he was so easily deceived and even turned his back on the sect leader, almost killing him!
"Senior, I don't blame you. Please quickly release this prisoner. We absolutely cannot let that traitor outside escape!"
Su Yang had no interest in discussing with the remnant soul whether it was mentally sharp or not. At this moment, he only had Su Chen in his heart, nothing else.
But to everyone's surprise, Xia Qianqiu shook his head and said, "The place we are in now is actually within the primordial fire seed of the earth's flames. In my current remnant soul state, my control over it is far less than before, making it difficult to suppress it. However..."
After hearing the previous part, Su Yang felt a chill in his heart, but hearing that there was still a chance, he quickly asked, "But what? Please tell me, senior!"
Seeing that Su Yang was in a hurry, Xia Qianqiu didn't keep him in suspense and said directly, "However, if you subdue the Earth Flame, you can naturally control it at will, and getting out of the core of this fire source will be no problem at all."
