Xu Qianxue was covering her face and screaming in horror. Blood was pouring down her cheeks. Xu Shenghe rushed over to check on her condition with a change in his expression.
"Quick, stop the bleeding!" Xu Shenghe ordered the servants.
The others were stunned. Su Chengyu had injured Xu Qianxue and disfigured her. This was the jewel of the Xu family.
Now, he had completely offended the Xu family as well.
"Grandfather, my face hurts so much. I want to kill him; I want to tear him into pieces!" Xu Qianxue was looking at Su Chengyu with fire in her eyes.
Lin Zhiyuan realized that this was an opportunity for the Lin family. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Miss Xu, don’t be afraid. My Lin family has an excellent ointment that can remove scars. It won’t leave any trace. I will send someone to bring it later."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shenghe seemed to relax a bit.
"Cousin, kill him! Kill him quickly!" Xu Qianxue shouted at Duan Tianyang.
Xu Shenghe said gloomily, "You dared to hurt my granddaughter. You are unforgivable. Today, you must die here. Tianyang, do it."
Duan Tianyang walked up with his sword, exuding an intense aura, just like a sharp longsword that was unsheathed, unmatched in sharpness.
"Duan Tianyang is taking action, Su Chengyu is definitely going to die this time, isn’t he?"
"He’s simply asking for death. If he obediently surrendered to the Xu family, the future would have been bright. But he chose to offend the Xu family. He truly deserves to die."
People were whispering amongst themselves.
Actually, Su Chengyu had no intention of hurting Xu Qianxue. It was her own lack of skill that caused her face to be scratched by leaves during her evasive maneuvers. This was not Su Chengyu’s original intention.
However, he didn’t bother to explain, as the Xu family would not listen to his explanation.
"The number one man in Jianghuai, the young master of the Unparalleled Sect, I’ve heard a lot about you." Su Chengyu said casually.
Duan Tianyang stood with his sword, with a cold expression and even colder voice.
"Unfortunately, in my eyes, you are just a nobody! We have no grudges, and I have no intention of killing you. But you hurt my cousin, and that’s a path to death you chose yourself. You strike first. Otherwise, once I unsheathe my sword, you won’t have any chance."
Duan Tianyang was a prodigy in swordsmanship. He stepped into the realm of Fourth-Level Grandmaster at the age of thirty and had achieved perfection in his family’s Unparalleled Sword Technique, having the capacity to kill a Fifth-Grade Grandmaster.
This made Duan Tianyang extremely arrogant and proud. Few of his peers could catch his eye.
At least in Jianghuai and Jiangdong provinces, there was no young man who could catch his attention.
Although Su Chengyu also showed the strength of a Grandmaster, he was still too weak in Duan Tianyang’s eyes. He felt that he could finish him off with a single sword stroke.
Su Chengyu didn’t bother to argue with Duan Tianyang. When facing such a proud and arrogant genius, only real strength can defeat him and earn the right to speak in front of him.
Su Chengyu stretched out his right hand, his fingers like a sword, and a gush of Sword Qi was released from his fingertip.
Duan Tianyang still stood with his sword, looking arrogant. Su Chengyu slowly raised his right hand and said, "If you can block this move of mine, I will kill myself here."
As he finished, Su Chengyu flicked his finger, a Sword Qi shot out.
This Sword Qi was neither splendid nor fancy, it didn’t have an overwhelming aura, but was like a hard-to-detect thread flying past.
But Duan Tianyang’s cold pupils shrank slightly, and his body broke out in a cold sweat. His keen instincts warned him of a strong threat. This sense of threat was enough to take his life!
Duan Tianyang didn’t dare to take any chances. He spun his longsword in his hand and unsheathed it with a clang, revealing a glint of cold light.
Duan Tianyang swung his right hand and released his strongest sword strike. His Sword Qi didn’t contain any flashy moves, it formed an arc and flew out at a great speed.
When the two Sword Qi collided, Duan Tianyang’s Unparalleled Sword Qi crumbled like rotten wood, unable to withstand a single blow, and collapsed instantly, and Sword Qi scattered.
Su Chengyu’s Sword Qi continued to fly out. Duan Tianyang’s pupils suddenly dilated. He let out a low shout, changing his sword technique quickly and striking again.
Centered on Duan Tianyang, countless Sword Qi swirled around, creating a strong wind and forcing the crowd to retreat once more.
However, Duan Tianyang only managed to resist for a moment before he was sent flying, spewing blood as he did and more blood falling from his body.
Duan Tianyang’s body crashed to the ground, rolling more than ten meters before stopping. The longsword in his hand had long since fallen to the ground.
The whole area was shocked and in awe.
"Cousin!" Xu Qianxue, covering her face, opened her mouth in shock. She could never have imagined that her strong cousin would be defeated in a single move!
Xu Shenghe’s aged face twitched repeatedly. He had not expected his grandson, who was always hailed as a genius, to be defeated so quickly.
Xu Qianxue at least exchanged more than ten moves with Su Chengyu, while Duan Tianyang was severely defeated in a single move!
The people by the Lin River were immediately shocked to their very core. Everyone was overwhelmed.
"Duan... Duan Tianyang was defeated without even being able to block a single move? Am I seeing things?"
"How long has it been? Has Su Chengyu’s strength already become so strong? He must be at least a Seventh Grade Grandmaster, right?"
"No wonder he was belittling Lu Deheng and said he didn’t need the Xu family’s help! He has the strength and confidence!"
With this stroke, Su Chengyu once again refreshed everyone’s perception of his strength.
Everyone originally thought that Su Chengyu was just a First-Rank Grandmaster. After all, during Lin Chuxue’s funeral last time, he was beaten up by Fourth Level Grandmaster Feng Huaqiang. Many people saw it with their own eyes.
If it hadn’t been for the sudden appearance of a mysterious expert, Su Chengyu would have been killed by Feng Huaqiang that time!
How long has it been since then? Even a prodigious talent didn’t have such a skyrocketing improvement!
"Cousin..." Ignoring her own injury, Xu Qianxue covered her face and ran towards Duan Tianyang. Duan Tianyang got up from the ground, his clothes torn in more than ten places, and blood constantly flowing out.
"Cousin, are you alright?" Xu Qianxue asked anxiously.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Duan Tianyang said stubbornly, "It’s nothing! Just a flesh wound."
As Duan Tianyang spoke, he kept his eyes on Su Chengyu. But there was no longer any arrogance or conceit on his face.
Su Chengyu’s stroke shattered Duan Tianyang’s arrogance and pride. The injuries to his body were nothing compared to the damage to his spirit and dignity!
"Your strength... is so strong!" Duan Tianyang gritted his teeth, full of unwillingness.
Duan Tianyang shrugged off Xu Qianxue, picked up the sword from the ground, pointed at Su Chengyu, and said with a ferocious expression, "I haven’t lost yet. Fight me again!"
Su Chengyu waved his hand, and a wave of Qi sent Duan Tianyang flying again, making him fall embarrassingly on the ground.
"It seems that you can’t kill me today! Now, who else wants to stop me?!" Su Chengyu scanned the crowd, and no one dared to meet his gaze.
