"metropolitan!"

A sharp cry suddenly pierced the darkness around the courtyard.

The first powerful figure to arrive was none other than Su Han, the master of the Purple Smoke Cloud Pavilion and the true controller of this Purple Smoke City.

As soon as he landed, his gaze shot straight at Tantai Chigu like that of a hawk.

With just one glance, Su Han's pupils suddenly contracted, as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, an almost ferocious greed grew wildly like wildfire, almost overflowing from the depths of his eyes.

Because his forbidden cultivation was deeper, he was able to see through the little girl's body and discover the earth-shattering power hidden within her.

To his great delight, this power was not yet fully developed, and even carried a hint of immaturity.

But it was precisely this naiveté that, to him, was no less deadly than the most lethal bait in the world.

Su Han understood perfectly that as long as he could devour this power that had not yet reached the pinnacle of perfection, he would be able to break through the long-standing deadly barrier on the forbidden path.

After breaking through the barrier, he will stand at a peak that no one in the entire world can reach.

Having finished reciting this, Su Han could no longer contain himself. Just as he was about to concentrate his strength at his fingertips, Shen Shuchou's figure appeared like an inky barrier, silently blocking his way.

Su Han then turned his gaze to Shen Shuchou. When he sensed the immense forbidden power emanating from Shen Shuchou, his brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"You have misjudged me. A forbidden body like yours has managed to hide so well right under my nose."

Su Han's tone was icy.

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuchou remained calm and composed, simply saying, "A person about to enter their coffin has very little left to see."

"How dare you!"

"Insolence! You dare to spout nonsense even when you're about to die!"

The surrounding figures immediately shouted sternly. With Su Han, a powerful figure, in charge, they had completely forgotten about Shen Shuchou's earth-shattering methods.

Su Han suddenly burst into loud laughter, his voice filled with arrogance: "Hahaha! You do have some backbone, but with just this meager skill, you're not enough to earn my respect. I'll give you a chance now: leave that little girl behind, and I'll spare your life. How about it?"

Although Su Han was not afraid of Shen Shuchou, he did not want to get entangled here any longer. His heart was already set on the power within Tantai Chigu's body, and he only hoped to get his hands on it as soon as possible.

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuchou's lips curled into a faint smile, but his eyes held no warmth whatsoever: "Old man, do you really think you can take me by the nose?"

Before Su Han could speak, a figure staggered in from outside the courtyard.

The newcomer's clothes were covered in dust, and his arms and cheeks were covered in bruises and scratches. When he rushed into the courtyard and saw the confrontation in front of him, the unease that had been lingering in his heart suddenly froze into an ice spike, piercing straight into his eyes.

"Brother Shen!"

The visitor was none other than Su Chacha.

She called out and was about to rush to Shen Shuchou's side, but before she could take a step, Su Jueluo blocked her way around the waist.

"Let me go!" Su Chacha struggled fiercely, but Su Jueluo, fearing she would be dragged into danger, held her tightly with his arms like iron hoops.

Su Han is currently confronting Shen Shuchou, whose aura is equally terrifying. Such a scene is far beyond the reach of a mere mortal like her.

Su Han glanced at Su Chacha indifferently, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.

But when she looked at Shen Shuchou, her eyes were full of anxiety, and then she seemed to remember something, raising her eyebrows slightly.

Su Jueluo clearly saw the change in his eyes and hurriedly pleaded in a trembling voice, "No..."

Before the word "want" even landed, Su Han's figure shot up like a thunderclap.

A terrifying power surged around him like dark clouds, carrying the force to shatter mountains and split rocks. A large hand, accompanied by a howling wind, struck Shen Shuchou's face.

Shen Shuchou's eyes darkened suddenly, and the forbidden power around him gathered in his fist like a tsunami. Before the fist could be thrown out, it had already caused ripples in the surrounding air.

Facing the incoming palm, he threw a punch. At the moment the fist and palm collided, there was no loud noise, but a sandstorm suddenly rose in the courtyard.

The ground cracked with spiderweb-like patterns centered on the two people, and the surrounding pillars trembled violently in the invisible shockwaves, as if they were about to collapse.

The terrifying aftershocks of the force swept outwards like a raging torrent, and the surrounding figures all raised their palms to defend themselves.

The energy intertwined into a dense net, yet several people were still torn apart by the aftershocks, instantly turning into a cloud of blood mist that dissipated into the night wind.

Inside the courtyard, although Su Jue Luo immediately held Su Cha Cha tightly in his arms, he was still thrown off balance by the force.

The two tumbled out of the courtyard and landed in the dust not far away, their hair disheveled like straw.

As the sandstorm subsided, Shen Shuchou, protecting Tantai Chigu, had retreated three steps away. His clothes were slightly dusty, but his back remained straight as a pine tree, showing no sign of dishevelment.

Su Han stared at him, his smile growing increasingly sinister. He had only used seventy percent of his strength in that palm strike just now, merely as a test.

Seeing that Shen Shuchou was still able to stand firmly, he suddenly laughed wildly and said, "Tell me, do you think I can still take you down?"

Before he finished speaking, the power around Su Han surged like boiling magma, and a dark shadow that blotted out the sky suddenly appeared behind him.

The shadowy figure had an indistinct outline, yet it possessed an overwhelming aura as it slowly extended a giant hand.

Before the palm strike even arrived, the ground was already cracking like a spider web, and an absolute destructive pressure, like Mount Tai pressing down, crashed down on Shen Shuchou.

He wanted to use swift and decisive methods to completely crush the person in front of him.

Despite the massive hand slamming towards him, Shen Shuchou remained calm. He gently pushed Tantai Chigu aside, his posture as straight as a javelin.

The next second, a vast forbidden power expanded wildly within his body, distorting the surrounding air as if it were about to be torn apart.

However, this body, formed from the forbidden power of Tantai Chigu, was ultimately not his original form, and the power he could mobilize was ultimately separated by a shackle.

Even so, it was more than enough to deal with Su Han in front of him.

Moreover, Su Han is definitely not the only one involved in this situation.

What Shen Shuchou had to do at this moment was to protect Tantai Chigu and fight his way out of the encirclement.

Every bit of forbidden power he burned within this body would eventually flow back into Tantai Chigu's body in another hidden form, becoming nourishment for her.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, the forbidden power surrounding Shen Shuchou suddenly transformed into countless black chains, which sprang out like lurking serpents, instantly binding the colossal hand that blotted out the sky.

boom!

Before the aftershocks of the collision between the two forces had fully dissipated, Ya Ye, who had been watching from the shadows, had already keenly sensed something was amiss.

He made a quick decision, returned to the inn, picked up the still-sleeping Gu Qingran, and prepared to take the opportunity to leave.

But when his gaze swept over Su Jue Luo and Su Cha Cha, who were curled up on the ground, from a great distance.

For some reason, it still managed to grab the two women with a force and carry the three of them away at lightning speed like a shooting star.

And just as the aftershocks of the second collision between the two terrifying forces reverberated outwards.

Half of the Purple Smoke City was reduced to dust in an instant, with brick and stone fragments flying everywhere like black snow, obscuring half of the night sky.

......

......

"Master...you lied to me..."

A voice, like cotton thread soaked in water, trembled and became sticky.

"You killed my whole family... You've been lying to me all this time... You've hurt me so much..."

Her fingernails dug deep into her palms, and beads of blood seeped out between her fingers, dripping onto the hem of her clothes and spreading into a small dark purple patch.

"What should I do... kill you... yes, kill you..."

His gaze suddenly sharpened, like glass veiled in blood mist, reflecting the blurry figure before him, while a strange smile curled at the corner of his lips.

"Sizzle!"

The crisp sound of the blade slicing through flesh, mixed with warm blood splattering on my face.

She kept her eyes closed, letting out soft, panting breaths, as if savoring something sweet, until the blood on her face was about to drip down, before slowly opening her eyes.

The person beneath her was already lifeless, but that face was not that of the master she had spoken of.

But the smile on her face didn't fade; it slowly hardened into a scar. The murderous intent in her eyes, however, came alive, like countless tiny bloodworms crawling.

The blood spread slowly from the pupils, turning both eyes completely red, with even the whites of the eyes showing bloodshot veins, as if blood was about to drip from them at any moment.
