Chapter 80: Chapter 80 - Half-Step Saint King
"What does the Shura Palace mean by this?"
After falling to the ground, Yan Suye couldn't help but roar at Song Yang, with tears streaming from his eyes.
The reason? When he looked inside the spatial ring, he realized it wasn't Song Yang's head that was there, but his own father's.
His father, the majestic patriarch of the Yan family, a powerful 7-Star Saint, was dead, and his head lay before him at that moment!
"Why? Why did you, from the Shura Palace, do this? Why did you kill my father?"
Yan Suye couldn't contain his rage and stood up, emanating an intense killing intent directed at Song Yang.
He was in shock, unable to believe that he had paid the Shura Palace to kill Song Yang, but now his own father's head was in front of him.
This simply didn't make sense!
"Why? Yan Suye, you are very funny."
"You didn't want to kill me? Should I take my own head and hand it to you?"
Song Yang suddenly advanced toward Yan Suye, and the mist that covered his face gradually dissipated with each step he took.
It turns out that, by using the function of the Scarlet Demon Cloak, a high-grade sacred weapon, Yan Suye couldn't see Song Yang's true identity.
Aside from Yan Suye, who is only at the Royal Realm, even a powerful Great Saint wouldn't be able to see through the cloak and discover his identity
"You... You are Song Yang!"
"So, you joined the Shura Palace!"
At this moment, upon seeing Song Yang's face, Yan Suye couldn't help but take several steps back and fall to the ground.
It turns out that Song Yang, the person he wanted to kill, had actually become a member of the Shura Palace, and, like a fool, he sent a mission to the Shura Palace to kill him.
'I'm sorry, father, it's all my fault.'
Now he finally understood what had happened and why the Shura Palace killed his father.
It was evident that this had been orchestrated by Song Yang.
After all, he had ordered the Shura Palace to kill Song Yang, and probably, Song Yang had done the same with his father.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel deep guilt for his father's death.
Although he had been expelled, he still loved his father and couldn't bear the fact that he had been killed because of him.
"Why does everyone understand wrong?"
"I didn't join the Shura Palace... I created it."
When he finished speaking, with a slight movement of his finger, Song Yang released a thread of sword energy that shot toward Yan Suye.
Hearing these words, which would soon be his last, Yan Suye couldn't help but be surprised.
Immediately after, he understood everything—why Song Yang never wanted his help and even dared to be so arrogant at the auction.
After all, it wasn't blind arrogance. He really had this confidence... the confidence that came from commanding one of the eleven main forces in the eastern region, and the most mysterious among them!
Seeing the sword energy coming toward him, Yan Suye couldn't help but close his eyes and accept death.
After all, in the face of this casual attack from Song Yang, he knew he couldn't resist.
The difference in strength between them was practically the same as the one between him and the man who tried to rob him—an endless abyss.
SWISH!
Although Yan Suye thought a lot, everything happened in less than a second, until the sword energy finally pierced his forehead.
"Damn, it looks like I wasted too much time on this. I won't have time to break through..."
After finally killing Yan Suye, Song Yang couldn't help but think about something and curse lightly.
Previously, he had left the Shura Palace just to kill Fang Yu, but after discovering that Yan Suye had ordered the Shura Palace to kill him, he became interested and decided to come personally.
But since he had to wait for Shi Hu to kill Yan Suye's father, it naturally took quite a bit of time.
Now, the genius competition is starting in three days, and he won't be able to break through to the Saint King before the competition as he had hoped!
Yes, during the six months he spent cultivating the Seven Souls Scripture, after he successfully cultivated the seven souls and reached the initial stage of the scripture, the refinement of energy contained in his Death Space accelerated a lot, and his cultivation advanced to the Half-Step Saint King!
He originally planned to break through to the Saint King Realm after killing Fang Yu.
After all, he had used less than 30% of the energy in his Death Space. And after going out and absorbing more corpses accumulated during this time, the energy in his Death Space is greater than ever!
The reason he realized he couldn't break through now was that, although there was no bottleneck in his cultivation and he could easily advance to the Saint Realm, he would need one or two weeks to stabilize the realm!
Thus, he would miss the eastern region genius competition, which will take place in three days.
But this can't happen; after all, Song Yang needs to settle a matter in the genius competition.
Besides, this matter has become personal. It's the first time someone has managed to escape from the Shura Palace and even managed to escape from Song Yang himself!
Not to mention that the system's reward for killing Fang Yu has already made Song Yang a bit excited.
If Fang Yu isn't eliminated soon, due to the irrational opportunities of a child of destiny, he could soon become a big threat to the Shura Palace.
"Fang Yu, Fang Yu, in a secret realm where the Void-Breaker Talisman doesn't work and no one over twenty-five can enter."
"What's the use of being the child of destiny?"
"How will you escape from me?"
