537: Chapter 537 3 minus 5 divided by 2!

“Protecting me?”

Zhou Yu shook his head and laughed.

The He Family acted swiftly, but their brains didn’t seem to work all that well.

Having found out where his family lived, had they really not investigated his strength?

Of course, Zhou Yu couldn’t be bothered to explain.

He slowly raised his fist.

Eight Desolations Fist gathered instantly, sweeping towards the elderly patriarch of the He Family.

The elderly He Family patriarch sneered and swung his sword again.

However, this time, Zhou Yu did not dodge; he raised his fist and met the attack head-on.

Clang!

A crisp collision sound rang out.

Zhou Yu, with his flesh and blood body, managed to blast open the patriarch’s sword edge with a single punch.

“Hm?”

The color drained from the patriarch’s face, leaving it awash with shock.

He had perused Zhou Yu’s profile in broad strokes.

However, the information the He Family had on Zhou Yu was mostly about his connections; the patriarch knew that Zhou Yu was under the protection of figures like Wei Wuya and Qi Guochang.

The data on Zhou Yu’s abilities only showed that he had slain the Heavenly Master Jin Dingtian.

Someone like the Heavenly Master Jin Dingtian was hardly worth the patriarch’s attention.

As a result, he had never taken Zhou Yu seriously.

It had taken considerable effort to locate Zhou Yu’s residence and ambush him here, intending to eliminate Zhou Yu before Wei Wuya and the others could react.

But to his surprise, Zhou Yu’s strength far exceeded his expectations.

Stopping his sword with bare hands?

Was this really the power of an Innate Martial Artist?

Zhou Yu spoke indifferently,

“This sword is not bad, but unfortunately, the swordsmanship is too weak to be worthy of it.”

The patriarch flew into a rage at once.

He was an old veteran of the martial world, in addition to being a master of the Saint Realm, and Zhou Yu’s blunt critique was an unparalleled humiliation.

“You insolent boy!”

The old patriarch executed a series of swift sword strikes.

Every strike aimed for Zhou Yu’s vital spots.

But Zhou Yu, with the Eight Desolate Fist, powerfully countered his long sword.

The patriarch’s sword light seemed like mist to Zhou Yu, posing no obstruction at all.

Even more, Zhou Yu’s fists seemed to disperse his sword light.

What was going on?

After several fruitless strikes, the patriarch quickly sensed something was amiss.

He noticed a faint golden glow covering Zhou Yu’s fists.

It was this golden glow that shattered his sword light.

“Is this…”

Uncertainty flickered in his eyes.

Suddenly, a memory flashed through his mind.

“This is Red Gold True Qi!”

Just as the elder was reeling in shock, Zhou Yu seemed to become a phantom beneath his feet, disappearing from his original spot.

When he reappeared, he was already behind the patriarch.

Thump!

His fist, filled with Red Gold True Qi, slammed directly into the patriarch’s back.

The patriarch was, after all, an experienced Saint Realm master.

In a life-or-death moment, instinct had him place his sword behind his back.

But the strength of a sword lies in its sharpness, not its ability to shield the body like armor.

Crack!

The punch landed heavily on the sword.

Zhou Yu’s fist bent the long sword and, through the bent blade, crashed into the patriarch’s body.

The sound of bones shattering echoed.

Red Gold True Qi was a deadly threat to a Saint Realm master unskilled in defense.

Ordinary masters of the Saint Realm would be gravely injured with just one hit.

The patriarch was no exception.

His face instantly turned pale and, with blood spurting from his mouth, he stumbled forward.

Kick them when they’re down, take their lives.

Zhou Yu’s form flashed again as he pursued.

A sweeping kick.

The patriarch had no means to evade and was kicked directly in the waist by Zhou Yu, sending him flying.

That heavy blow left the patriarch devoid of any power to resist.

He hit the ground hard, blood gushing from his mouth.

Zhou Yu stepped forward, standing directly on him, as the patriarch screamed out.

Blood ‘gurgled’ out of his mouth.

At this moment, the patriarch lay under Zhou Yu’s foot.

Panic filled his eyes.

“This is impossible!!!”

He, a master of the Saint Realm, had been bested within moments by a young man merely in the Innate stage.

“How could an Innate Martial Artist possess Red Gold True Qi…”

The patriarch was utterly confounded.

Of course, Zhou Yu wasn’t about to explain anything to him.

“You came looking for me, so you must have been prepared to die,”

“So, I’ll grant your wish and send you on your way.”

Zhou Yu exerted force with his foot, and Nether Fire True Qi surged into the man’s body.

In an instant, his internal organs turned to ash due to the Nether Fire True Qi.

The patriarch did not even have a chance to speak before his life was snuffed out.

After dealing with the patriarch, Zhou Yu made a call to Wei Wuya to have someone clean up the aftermath.

Then, he called Yang Shiwu.

“Old Yang, where are you now?”

Yang Shiwu laughed,

“Lao Lou and I are on our way to the provincial capital.”

“Good.

Once you get there, don’t say anything, just act.

The only Saint Realm master of the He Family is already dead.”

A look of excitement crossed Yang Shiwu’s face.

“Understood.”

…

Elsewhere,

He Tianhua returned to the He Family in the provincial capital, disheveled and dejected.

Just as he entered the door, he saw his younger brother, He Tianyu, coming towards him.

He Tianyu wore a face of mockery.

“Oh, dear brother, you’re back.

The Family Head has truly brought honor to the He Family this time.

Now, the entire upper echelons of the provincial city know about what happened to your precious son at Qinzhou University.”

With a dark expression, He Tianhua said nothing and prepared to head directly to his own quarters.

But He Tianyu blocked his way.

“Where are you off to, big brother?”

“The senior members of the family are waiting in the conference room.”

“Don’t make them wait too long.”

Finishing his words, He Tianyu stepped aside and pointed towards the conference room.

“Please, after you, big brother.”
