523: Chapter 523: Stepping onto the Stage!

This terrifying sonic attack created ripples in the air.

Within the ripples, there seemed to be thousands of troops charging.

The entire arena was enveloped by this sonic attack, and everyone revealed expressions of alarm.

The Great Master at the forefront was left dumbfounded in place.

At that moment, his mind was a blank slate, his soul shook violently, and blood streamed from his seven orifices.

Just as people were still failing to react, a figure flew over and landed next to the arena, appearing right in front of the Great Master.

“Zhou Yu!!!”

Qin Lan and Shui Tianyue were unaffected by the sonic attack, and while both were weeping, their expressions soon turned to joy.

“You’ve finally come.”

“I just knew you would show up.”

Qin Lan broke free from the Great Master’s grip and threw herself directly at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu gently patted Qin Lan on the head and stroked her hair.

“Sorry I’m late; I’ve let you suffer.”

Qin Lan shook her head.

“It’s okay.”

By then, the Great Master finally came around from the sonic attack.

Seeing Zhou Yu right before him, his complexion changed drastically and without a word, he rapidly retreated.

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes.

“Thinking of leaving?”

“Die.”

Zhou Yu threw a punch, and being only inches away, the Great Master had no room to dodge.

“President, save me…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhou Yu’s punch struck directly at his heart.

Boom!

His heart burst open on impact, and the Great Master died instantly.

Yu Fengtian was consumed with shock and rage.

“Zhou Yu!!!”

Zhou Yu had slain four of the five Great Protectors of his Letian Association as well as the Heavenly Master.

The top forces of his Letian Association that had been nurtured over many years were almost entirely ruined by Zhou Yu.

One could only imagine the fury in his heart.

However, he did not allow his rage to cloud his judgment; he was well aware that to deal with Zhou Yu, he would have to make use of the Zhao Family’s power.

Yu Fengtian took a deep breath, his gaze icy as he watched Zhou Yu.

“Zhou Yu, I heard you were cramming at the last minute, entering seclusion.

I thought you might break through to the Supreme Saint Realm.

How are you still just an Innate Martial Artist?”

“A mere Innate Martial Artist dares to be insolent in front of Master Zhao.

I think you’ve no idea of the immensity of heaven and earth.”

“Today, with Master Zhao here, you are undoubtedly doomed.”

Zhou Yu sneered.

“I didn’t expect the president of the Letian Association to be someone who bullies others by flaunting powerful connections.”

“You…”

Yu Fengtian, realizing that Zhou Yu had seen through his ruse, became infuriated with embarrassment but refrained from making any rash moves.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Fourth Master’s complexion changed drastically, and not daring to tangle with the old celebrant any longer, he quickly retreated.

At that moment, Qin Dingbang and Lv Fang had both risen to their feet, looking at Zhou Yu excitedly.

“Zhou Yu.”

“Uncle Qin, Brother Lv, sorry I’m late and for causing you trouble.”

“But don’t worry, I promise they will pay back double.”

Qin Dingbang and Lv Fang both nodded heavily.

They naturally believed in Zhou Yu.

“Zhou Yu, they set up this arena just to deal with you; you must be extremely careful.”

Zhou Yu nodded, then slowly turned around to face Zhao Zhinian, Yang Tianpeng, and the others.

“You lot are going to die!”

Lin Zhaoxuan was the first to step forward, angrily rebuking:

“Zhou Yu, you still dare to be arrogant in front of Master Zhao?

Kneel down and accept your death quickly.”

Lin Zhaoxuan’s hatred for Zhou Yu had far surpassed the hatred he held for the Yancheng Lin Family.

It was due to Zhou Yu that their Capital Lin Family had lost most of their assets, and now, he was forced to submit to the Letian Association, becoming nothing more than a dog of the association.

Zhou Yu looked at Lin Zhaoxuan with a cold eye.

“Lin Zhaoxuan, the fact that your Lin Family has survived until now, you should really thank Elder Lin Chaodong.

If not for his sake, your Capital Lin Family would have been wiped out long ago.”

“I spared you time and again, yet you keep seeking death.

Then you can’t blame anyone else.”

“It’s time for the Capital Lin Family to disappear.”

“Just you?

Hmph, you wet-behind-the-ears boy…”

Lin Zhaoxuan was enraged with embarrassment.

But before he could finish his words, an aura of terror suddenly burst forth from Zhou Yu, pressing down on Lin Zhaoxuan.

Lin Zhaoxuan’s body shook as if struck, his complexion instantly turned pale, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

At that moment, Zhao Zhinian intervened.

His aura burst forth as well, breaking through Zhou Yu’s oppressive force.

“What a brazen young brat,

to be so presumptuous before me.”

Zhou Yu regarded Zhao Zhinian with indifference.

“All the events of the past few days were orchestrated by your Capital Zhao Family, weren’t they?”

“I’m very curious, why is your Capital Zhao Family so insistent on clamping down on the insignificant Yancheng Lin Family?”

Zhao Zhinian scoffed.

“You’ll be dead soon; there’s no need for you to know so much.”

Seeing Zhao Zhinian’s refusal to answer, Zhou Yu didn’t mind.

He had encountered plenty of stubborn people before.

Once he had him underfoot later, there was no worry that he wouldn’t talk.

“Later, let’s see if you can still be this tough.”

Although Zhou Yu appeared very strong, Wei Wuya and the others were feeling uneasy.

They all thought that Zhou Yu was in seclusion to break through to the Saint Realm.

With Zhou Yu’s talent and strength, once he broke through to the Saint Realm, he would certainly become a top expert among saints, and Iron Reverence, naturally, would cease to be a fear.

But now, with Zhou Yu’s failure to break through, the situation seemed grim.

Jiang Fengnian said in a low voice:

“Minister, for now, let’s keep Iron Reverence occupied, giving Zhou Yu a chance to find an opportunity.

Maybe he can break through Iron Reverence’s defense and kill him in one fell swoop.”

Wei Wuya’s face was somber.

“I fear this plan might be difficult; Zhao Zhinian is also a Saint Realm expert, and what’s more, he is most skilled in movement techniques.

Add Yang Tianpeng to the mix, and I’m afraid we’re more likely doomed than not.”

While the two were filled with apprehension, Zhou Yu suddenly leaped and stepped onto the arena.

With a haughty gaze, he swept over Zhao Zhinian and the others.

“The arena is set, isn’t it?

Who wants to be the first to seek death?”
