Urban Super Medical Sage-Chapter 1964 - 2060: Even More Interested (Update 3)
"Master, you... you..." Tailing Nishang was utterly dumbfounded. She really felt like she was floating, wandering among the clouds, her soul drifting, more unreal than dreaming.
Master defeated the Fifth Level of Realm of Returning to Truth in seconds?!
Is this even human?
She recalled very clearly, some time ago when she first encountered Master at Traceless Heaven, his strength was at most at the eighth or ninth layer of the Divine Realm, not much higher than hers.
How long has it been?
Not even a year, right?
She, Tailing Nishang, had been quite diligent, yet in this short time, she had only advanced one minor realm.
And Master?!
It’s simply god speed, light speed, an utterly despairing rate of advancement!
In less than a year’s time, his strength multiplied by hundreds, if not thousands of times!
Is he trying to drive every other martial cultivator and so-called genius to despair?
For some reason, Tailing Nishang felt like she wasn’t even qualified to be Su Chen’s maid.
At this moment, in the Tailing Rear Palace, inside the Emperor’s Palace, Tailing Zhenli had completely lost his voice, not dead, but frozen, his divine soul and thoughts seemingly drained, stunned, lying on the bed, unable to speak or know what to say.
He only felt as if he were dead, his soul wandering in the heavens, as if such a fantastical scene couldn’t have appeared otherwise.
The two attendants by the bed continually sweated, their breathing heavy and labored, both on the verge of deviation, Su Chen’s monstrous talent driving them insane, a single thought in their minds: their lifetime of martial arts cultivation seemed to have gone to the dogs, comparing to Su Chen, they were trash, useless, laughable ants!
And it was at this moment.
The tiny red sword light emitted by Su Chen, after crushing two strands of Return to the Holy Flame Sword’s sword light, startlingly... shockingly... still hadn’t faded, continuing onward, locked onto Zheng Su, advancing forth.
And Zheng Su had no power left to dodge, a mouthful of essence blood loss making his injuries severe.
Moreover, due to the extreme fluctuations in his thoughts and emotions, he was incapable of employing his movement technique.
The distance was too close.
Thus, Zheng Su stared blankly ahead, watching that strange red hair-like sword light approach him.
In the blink of an eye.
Hiss!!!
The red hair-like sword light pierced into Zheng Su’s body, at the shoulder.
Immediately.
Half of Zheng Su’s shoulder shattered, sinking deeply, blood ragingly poured out, dripping relentlessly.
Zheng Su’s entire body was flung backward.
Half a shoulder gone.
Too terrifying.
Even after crushing two strands of Return to the Holy Flame Sword, still possessing such power, luckily it targeted Zheng Su’s shoulder, had it been slightly towards the chest, Zheng Su would have been dead.
"Cough cough cough cough..." Heavily crashing to the ground, Zheng Su’s face was covered in blood, weakly coughing, his old eyes fixed on Su Chen, in utmost awe, bitterly laughing, finally understanding why Young Master Gao Yi was so apprehensive and respectful towards Su Chen.
So that’s why.
He had thought Young Master was mad, brainless; turns out it was he, Zheng Su, who was mad and brainless.
"Senior, I hope the spar didn’t disappoint you?" Su Chen looked at Zheng Su from afar, smiling.
"It is I, a fool with eyes but no vision, thank you Young Master for sparing me." Zheng Su cupped his hands, knowing Su Chen’s mercy in not killing him was a tremendous benevolence.
Precisely for this reason, abruptly, Zheng Su’s expression slightly changed, staring at Su Chen, hesitant.
"Speak." Su Chen saw what Zheng Su wanted to say.
"Well..." Zheng Su hesitated for a while, then finally asked, "Young Master Su, are you here to help Princess Tailing reclaim what is rightfully hers, or do you have other intentions?"
Seemingly feeling his words were unclear, Zheng Su explicitly asked, "Young Master Su, are you interested in the treasure of Tailing Back Mountain?"
This was important.
"Back Mountain’s treasure?" Su Chen’s eyes brightened; he knew the Tailing Back Mountain bore unusual phenomena, and that’s why Tailing Zhenyi invited the Gao Family Commerce Association.
However, previously, Su Chen hadn’t thought Tailing Back Mountain would hold any treasure, lacking confidence, believing Tailing Zhenyi’s original intent was deception, borrowing the Gao Family Commerce Association to secure the emperor’s throne first. Whether Back Mountain’s treasure was valuable, likely was not substantial.
But at this moment, Su Chen suddenly realized it seemed Tailing Back Mountain really harbored some treasure?
Otherwise, why would Gao Yi and others appear? Initially, only Zheng Su, Gao Pu, and Xuu Yuxin intended to visit the Tailing Empire, Gao Yi and others arrived later... proving Tailing Back Mountain indeed issues good treasure!
Moreover, at this moment, Zheng Su’s tense, explicit inquiry suffices to state.
"Of course I’m interested." Su Chen smiled, for a good treasure, how could he not be intrigued?
Zheng Su’s complexion drastically changed, impossibly pale, gritting his teeth: "Young Master Su, you spared my life, thus, I wish to repay you... with a favor."
"Oh? What kind of favor?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow.
"Young Master Su, I advise you not to covet the treasure of Back Mountain, or else, your life will be at risk." Zheng Su urged gravely, "Because the significance of Back Mountain’s treasure is enormous, not only have I informed Young Master..."
Zheng Su first glanced at Gao Yi, then continued, biting his lip: "I’ve also... also... informed that individual!"
That individual, undeniably, was Di Qiong!!!
Closed-door disciple of Gao Family’s Old Ancestors.
That individual? Su Chen, of course, didn’t know who this was.
Though afar, Gao Yi’s eyes surged, his breath held, staring fixedly at Zheng Su: "That... that... that individual?"
Gao Yi’s emotional fluctuations were enormous, evident of awe, dread...
Several monstrous talents behind Gao Yi also inhaled sharply.
"That individual is en route, already coming." Zheng Su nodded firmly.
Gao Yi’s expression turned variable and somber for a long time; he inhaled deeply, glanced at Su Chen, murmuring, "Young Master Su, you must understand, Gao Yi wishes to be your friend, after all, Young Master Su is a peerless super genius..."
Su Chen nodded and did notice.
"Thus, Young Master Su, if... if possible, you and the Princess Tailing should leave immediately. Regarding Tailing Empire’s throne, Tailing Zhenli won’t hold it; he will perish..." Gao Yi motioned towards the cowering Tailing Zhenyi, stating blandly, deciding Tailing Zhenyi’s fate directly.
"That individual is very terrifying?" Su Chen smiled while asking.
"Indeed!" Gao Yi nodded heavily:
"That individual is a unique presence in Gao Family Commerce Association, far surpasses me; she’s our Gao Family’s Old Ancestors’ closed-door disciple, her age not much greater than yours, yet she’s extraordinarily monstrous, morbid, possesses an unimaginably potent, dread bloodline you may never have heard of."
"In mere centuries, she advanced dozens of minor realms, even half a month ago, I heard father say that individual has... already reached Seventh Layer Returning to Truth."
"Father also claimed if that individual wished, she could easily enter the Imperial Academy, and become a Three-Star or even Four-Star disciple."
"She merely disdains, otherwise, what Gao Family Commerce Association’s future leader position, I wouldn’t even dream of it, for I am nothing compared to her."
"She is too terrifying! Extremely formidable!! Super monstrous!!!"
.........
Gao Yi’s emotional turmoil was immense.
"Oh?" Su Chen seemed intrigued, hearing Gao Yi’s claims, ’that individual’ indeed sounded terrifying.
"Young Master Su, since that individual is interested in Back Mountain’s treasure, then... then... then there’s no other possibility, Young Master Su, I admire you and wish to be friends, thus I hope you won’t die by that individual’s hands; her temperament is poor, unpredictable, if you remain or still crave Back Mountain’s treasure, it would be exceedingly dangerous." Gao Yi continued earnestly, wholeheartedly.
Su Chen touched his nose: "Gao Yi, saying that only fuels my interest further..."
