Chapter Twenty-One: The Characteristics of Destiny and Fortune
An endless stream of pale purple flames, like sword energy, pointed towards Su Ya.
With just a thought, Su Yang could kill him on the spot.
But at this moment, Su Yang simply couldn't bring himself to do it.
Because he was still a member of the Su family, he still felt a certain degree of affection for this old man whom he had called Uncle Ya for sixteen years.
Blood is thicker than water, and this bond cannot be easily severed just because he has transformed into Xu Wan.
In fact, if Su Chen weren't special, Su Yang wouldn't have been willing to treat him like this.
In essence, he was not a ruthless killer.
With a sigh in his heart, looking at Su Ya's hairy face, Su Yang finally dispelled the sword energy around him under Su Ya's puzzled gaze.
His figure landed slowly, unwilling to explain, Su Yang turned his back, his figure appearing helpless.
"What does Miss Xu mean by this?"
Su Ya was puzzled and didn't understand why Miss Xu suddenly stopped, but seeing her stop, he also dispersed the true energy in his hand.
"Take Su Chen and get out of here. If you're still here within ten breaths, none of you will be leaving."
As if issuing an ultimatum, Su Yang's words were firm, and his decision to personally let Su Chen go left Su Yang feeling very uneasy.
Although still not understanding why, Su Ya knew he had escaped death and reached out a hand.
Su Chen, whom he had previously sent away, flew back to his side.
The innate true essence covering his body shattered, revealing Su Chen's figure.
"Second Uncle, are you alright?"
Just as he broke free of control, Su Chen grabbed Su Ya. He had clearly seen the battle between Su Ya and Su Yang earlier.
Unlike at the beginning when he underestimated Su Yang's strength, now he looked at Su Yang with fear in his eyes.
He hadn't expected Xu Wan to be so strong; even a Xiantian expert was no match for her.
Even the thought of their agreement three years from now made Su Chen regret his decision. Looking at Xu Wan's aloof figure, he couldn't help but wonder if he could really beat her.
"What are you still doing here? Do you want to die?"
Turning around leisurely, Su Yang looked at the two who were still there, his gaze sharp as a sword.
"I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now!"
Su Ya was the first to react, grabbing Su Chen and saying, "Miss Xu, please forgive us for our rudeness today. We will leave now."
Su Yang glanced at the two of them but remained silent.
But Su Chen interrupted at this moment, saying, "Xu Wan, I don't know why you suddenly hate me so much, but I know you must have your reasons. Three years! I will definitely go to the Luoxia Sword Sect to find you in three years and keep our promise. If I win then, you must tell me everything! Okay?"
"Get out!" Su Yang shouted angrily, his voice as cold as a knife. He wasn't Xu Wan, so why should he make an agreement with her?
"If you keep spouting nonsense, I will kill you right here today."
Seeing Su Yang's anger, Su Ya knew that his nephew was annoying. He picked up Su Chen, who looked like a little chick, and with his true energy surging, he dared not delay any longer. He disappeared in a few blinks, leaving Su Yang alone in the forest, suppressing his anger.
Unable to sense the presence of Su Ya and Su Chen, Su Yang finally exhaled a breath of stale air.
Her jade feet stomped directly on the ground, and her powerful true energy splashed out endless sand and gravel.
After venting his frustrations, Su Yang felt a little better.
The figure became illusory again before returning to its original form.
Looking up at the endless night sky, his handsome face, as always, had slightly furrowed brows and eyes that seemed to hold a sky full of stars.
A cool night breeze brushed against his face. Su Yang parted his thin lips slightly and said, "Brother, after wasting so much time and going around in circles, I still couldn't kill you."
He shook his head helplessly, causing the strands of hair that fell loosely over his lower back to tremble.
Su Yang's eyes held a complex expression.
Although Su Yang ultimately failed to kill Su Chen, he still gained quite a lot.
At least, the extraordinary encounters that originally belonged to Su Chen have all been taken over by him, which gives Su Yang some comfort.
Scratching his head, Su Yang found a direction and disappeared into the night.
Having gone through a series of battles, he was physically exhausted, but mentally exhausted. At this moment, all he wanted was to get back to the Su family home as soon as possible and get a good night's sleep.
Cross the red line and return to the buffer zone bordering the back mountain of Sujia.
With his current cultivation level, he could easily have gone back without alerting Su Ya, but Su Yang did not choose to sneak back.
Instead, he openly told Su Ya that he had returned from the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Su Ya appeared in front of Su Yang in an instant. Looking at this strongest genius of the younger generation of the Su family, he couldn't help but compare him with the eldest daughter of the Xu family. However, he found that the two were completely incomparable.
"Now that you're back, hurry home."
Having just experienced a fierce battle, only to be defeated by a junior, Su Ya was in low spirits and had no desire to talk to Su Yang.
Nodding, Su Yang understood everything, but remained expressionless.
His life-or-death battle was his secret, something that could not be known to anyone.
Pretending to know nothing, he bid farewell to Su Ya and wandered back to his own courtyard.
After thinking it over, Su Yang decided to give up on continuing to cause trouble for Su Chen.
He had a premonition that if he failed to kill Su Chen in the Ten Thousand Mountains, he would likely find it difficult to do so anytime soon.
Destiny and fortune are not static; what is at its peak will inevitably decline, and vice versa.
Su Chen activated the Taixu Cauldron, obtaining the supreme Dao artifact and the Supreme Dao Emperor Scripture. This was a burden on his destiny and fortune. The more powerful the opportunity, the more immeasurable the consumption of his fortune.
If Su Chen's initial destiny and fortune were 100 points, then after activating the Taixu Cauldron, his fortune value might only be 70 or 80 points.
Then, encountering Xu Wan, finding the fragments of the Taixu Cauldron, activating one's own bloodline and divine body, obtaining five treasure boxes and Xu Wan's spatial bracelet, and even escaping certain death crises several times, all of these things will consume one's own luck to a certain extent.
The greater the depletion of one's luck, the less capable one becomes in dealing with anything.
Normally, Su Yang would never be able to snatch the treasure from the protagonist, and he even put the protagonist in danger several times.
Ultimately, it was because Su Chen's destiny and fortune were depleted too much in a short period of time after he had many extraordinary encounters, resulting in a weakened fortune, which gave Su Yang an opportunity to take advantage of him.
But now, not only have Su Chen lost all five treasure boxes he obtained, but even Xu Wan, who was likely his leading lady, has died on the spot, and the Taixu Cauldron has fallen into a deep sleep. All of this means that his luck has fallen below the red line, and a strong rebound is inevitable.
Just like the principle of suppressing before praising, the more intense the suppression, the stronger the rebound!
It may seem like we've cornered them, but that's precisely what makes it most dangerous!
The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Cycle is forty-nine, and one is hidden away.
As the protagonists who bear the destiny, they occupy the number 49. Perhaps because of that extra variable, they are no longer invincible, but they should never be underestimated because of it.
Su Yang had every reason to believe that if he went to Su Chen now and tried to kill him, Su Chen's mysterious dead father might be lying in wait, waiting for him to come to him so he could kill him directly!
He'll have nowhere to cry then.
So instead of gambling, it's better to stay in your room and sleep.
Remember this: protagonists are never easy to kill. If they were that easy to kill, they wouldn't be protagonists.
