Chapter Nineteen: Battle Against the Innate
When Su Yang transformed into Xu Wan, he didn't feel any discomfort.
Moreover, it's not a permanent transformation; when he chooses to shed the identity of Xu Wan, he can revert to his true form.
Standing in the woods, they waited for Su Chen to arrive with Su Ya.
Su Yang was not afraid of Su Ya, a martial artist with innate abilities.
Possessing the Earth's Flame and having mastered a King-level martial arts technique, even if he is no match for Su Ya, he can still escape.
Moreover, at this moment he is Xu Wan, and Su Ya may not dare to make a move against him.
Su Yang didn't have to wait long. When Su Chen brought Su Ya back to this place, Su Chen's eyes trembled.
Seeing that graceful figure standing there with her back to him, Su Chen was startled.
He thought to himself, how could this be? He clearly remembered that Xu Wan had died, so why was she still alive and well!
"Xu Wan?"
Su Chen tentatively asked in a soft voice.
Slowly turning to look at the two, Su Yang chuckled inwardly, but his face remained cold: "Su Chen, you're finally back. Quickly return the jade box left by my sect's senior and my spatial bracelet to me."
"Are you really Xu Wan?"
Su Chen was incredulous, repeatedly scrutinizing the woman in front of him, but he couldn't understand what had happened after he left.
"Weren't you dead? Why are you still alive?"
"What, are you disappointed that I'm not dead? Su Chen, I won't repeat myself, hand over the stuff, or today will be your death day."
Su Yang spoke with great resolve, and it could be said that there was no trace of the emotions that Xu Wan had shown earlier, such as being willing to die for Su Chen.
However, his words displeased Su Ya, who was standing behind Su Chen. He stepped past Su Chen and walked between the two of them. He looked at Su Yang and frowned, saying, "Miss Xu, these words are a bit too harsh. Although I don't know how you came back to life unharmed, Chen'er called me here because he wanted to retrieve your body. It's not appropriate for you to be so heartless to him."
"Is that so?" Su Yang chuckled, then glanced at Su Chen before continuing, "Who knows if he came back to retrieve my body or for the spiritual fire left behind by my sect's seniors."
"I remember your name is Su Ya. Do you think I need to be polite to a thief who stole my spatial bracelet?"
“This…” Su Ya was speechless for a moment when Su Yang mentioned the spatial bracelet.
Although Su Chen hadn't mentioned this to him, he knew it was most likely true.
If Xu Wan had really died, taking her spatial bracelet wouldn't have been a big deal, but she's still alive and well, which is a bit unreasonable no matter what.
Su Chen felt a little embarrassed. He slowly walked to Su Yang's side, then reached into his pocket, took out a jade box and a silver bracelet, and handed them back to Su Yang.
“When you got into trouble, Senior Xia Qianqiu showed his power and trapped that thief. I was worried that he wouldn’t be able to take him down, so I took these things with me to keep them safe for you. Now they’re being returned to their rightful owner.”
It must be said that what Su Chen said at this moment was quite reasonable. At least if it were Xu Wan instead of Su Yang standing in front of him, she might not have believed him.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".
Su Yang accepted the jade box and bracelet without ceremony, his heart filled with joy, but his face remained as cold as frost: "If it weren't for the seniors of my sect saving my life, I'm afraid I would have really been defiled by you, you scoundrel."
"Xu Wan, why...?"
Xu Wan's resurrection seemed to have transformed her into a different person, her words filled with estrangement, which made Su Chen feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
Ignoring how Xia Qianqiu managed it, he grabbed Su Yang's arm and tried to say something urgently.
However, Su Yang's true energy, mixed with scorching flames, directly assaulted his entire body.
"ah!"
The powerful earth flames instantly enveloped Su Chen, and at the same time, his screams rang out.
However, it should have been burned to ashes immediately, but faint Dao patterns appeared on its body, and bursts of green and yellow light flowed around it, which prevented it from being burned to ashes in the first place.
Su Yang made a sudden move, and Su Ya didn't react in time. It wasn't until Su Chen roared in pain that he realized something was wrong.
He instantly appeared beside Su Chen, his powerful innate true essence directly dispelling Su Yang's fiery true energy.
Then, he shielded Su Chen behind him, his powerful innate aura erupting instantly, pressing down on Su Yang: "Miss Xu, what is the meaning of this? Are you implying that my Su family has no one to rely on?"
Su Ya was furious at this moment. If he hadn't been wary of the Falling Cloud Sword Sect, he probably would have already made a move.
Su Chen, rescued, was burning red like iron, his breath unsteady. He looked at Su Yang with mixed feelings, not understanding why Xu Wan would suddenly treat him this way.
As for Su Yang, he was fearless in the face of a Xiantian expert. He did not conceal his cultivation level of the second level of Houtian, and at the same time, the earth's flames burned his body.
"Who does he think he is, to even lay a hand on me?"
Extremely arrogant, Su Yang's confidence, stemming from his own strength, allowed him to confront even innate martial artists head-on.
For a moment, neither of them would give way, and their powerful auras clashed, causing the air between them to explode.
"Uncle Ya, don't do it. Xu Wan may not really want to kill me."
Even at this point, Su Chen still refused to believe that Xu Wan really wanted to kill him, and hurriedly pulled Su Ya aside to persuade her.
But before Su Ya could angrily rebuke him for not recognizing reality, Su Yang spoke first: "Su Chen, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have almost died, and my sect's seniors wouldn't have disappeared. If you have even a little bit of remorse, you should have taken your own life instead of getting in the way here!"
His cold words struck Su Chen's heart directly; Su Yang's words were extremely cruel.
