"What!" Zhang Tao shouted, with shock written all over his face.
He stood from his seat and looked at Zhang Bo for a moment before turning to look at Li Xian.
"Can you tell me what the hell is going on?"
Watching Zhang Tao scream, Li Xian tried to maintain his composure while his heart was racing.
'How could he arrive here unscathed?' He thought in dismay.
'Is it possible for the Blood Whisperer not to know his location?'
'But that is impossible. With the strange ability of the Blood Whisperer, they will surely know his location.'
'So why the hell is he here?'
The more he thought, the more he got confused. His last hope was the Blood Whisperer, but now, the devil still managed to find them.
"Why are you not talking?" Zhang Tao shouted, veins protruding from his forehead.
He regretted colluding with Li Xian to deal with the Su clan.
Unbeknownst to them, the mere presence of Su Yen gave them fright.
What if they were to find out that almost half of the town under their control had fallen into the hands of the Su clan?
While also, Li Jun had been killed, and Willow City had fallen to the Su Clan.
Perhaps, they won't stay in the city and will race for their lives.
Coming back to Li Xian, he recovered from his thoughts and looked at Zhang Tao and said, "We don't know how strong he is right now. Perhaps, he has been injured and is only pretending..."
Li Xian began with a solemn expression.
"What if we send some of our soldiers to test him out? What he depends on is the Metal Bone Construct. If we equip our men with the Metal Bone Construct, we won't be at a disadvantage."
He concluded.
Listening to him, Zhang Tao creased his brow and thought for a moment before he asked, "Are you sure this will work?"
"Of course, how can he face 500 soldiers with Metal Bone Construct? Even us, we will have to run for our lives."
"Ok… Let's give it a try," Zhang Tao nodded and looked at his son, commanding him to send the soldiers to test Su Yen.
Outside Orchid City, Su Yen looked at the incoming soldiers and shook his head.
'Are they trying to test me out?' Thinking of this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
What if he was injured? He was the creator of the Metal Bone Construct; how could he not know its weak spot?
'They're more foolish than I imagined.'
Meanwhile, when the people saw the heavily armored soldiers, they scrambled away with fear evident on their faces.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Is the city under attack?"
Just as the crowd wondered what was happening, they saw a young man dressed in white raise his palm and slam it down casually.
However, what followed left the people flabbergasted.
The intimidating five hundred soldiers adorned with Metal Bone Construct saw a green palm appear over their heads.
In addition, the pressure from the palm attack made the spines of the soldiers drenched in cold sweats.
Before they could escape for their dear lives, the palm fell on them.
**Boom!**
The land shook vehemently, and clouds of dust rose to the sky.
For a couple of seconds, everyone closed their eyes from the aftershock.
And when they opened their eyes, the previous location of the soldiers had turned into a deep crater, with the bodies of five hundred soldiers nowhere to be found.
Gasps!
"Did he just kill them with a single palm strike?" A man asked with wide eyes.
Looking at the serene young man walking inside the city, the crowd was lost.
How could they have expected such a handsome young man to be so overpowering, killing the soldiers without batting an eye?
With slow, precise footsteps, Su Yen continued on his path without any expression on his face.
Just as he arrived at the center square of the city, a group of Blood Whisperers besieged him from all sides.
Looking at the Blood Whisperers, Su Yen didn't have any change in expression as a long sword appeared in his hand.
"One step mortal walk."
Whoosh!
Just as the twenty-plus Blood Whisperers attacked him, he disappeared from his location.
Meanwhile, inside the Zhang Sacred Clan main hall, Zhang Tao and Li Xian were pacing back and forth with fear etched on their faces.
'What did I do?' Zhang Tao cried in his heart. 'I didn't have any problems with the Su's. Why must I have brought trouble upon my family?'
As for Li Xian, his thoughts were different. 'How could the Blood Whisperers be unreliable? I thought with their prestige, they would easily handle the small Su clan. But what is this...'
'I don't know what the hell is fate energy, but I agreed to use all my clan's Fate Energy to bargain with them...
What a loss...'
"Father! Not good!" Zhang Bo rushed inside the hall with panic written all over his face.
When the two heard Zhang Bo scream, they came out of their thoughts and looked at Zhang Bo with anticipation.
"How was it?" Zhang Tao asked impatiently.
"H-He..."
"He what?" Zhang Tao snapped angrily. He was already on the brink of a mental breakdown; how could he condone his son's useless attitude?
Watching the piercing gaze from his father, Zhang Bo took a deep breath and told them everything.
For a couple of seconds, the hall descended into a deadly silence.
Zhang Tao slumped to the ground with a lifeless expression. 'We're doomed...'
'How is this possible? How can this be?' Li Xian was already insane thinking about Su Yen's overbearing power.
"Clan master..." A soldier rushed in, and without waiting for them to speak, he said, "Su Yen is killing everyone on his path, and he is on his way here?"
For a couple of seconds, no one spoke, as the situation was getting worse by the second.
"We need to escape," Li Xian finally broke the deafening silence.
As for Su Yen, his steps were unhurried as he walked toward the Zhang main hall.
Everyone on his path was killed with a swing of his sword, and his expression didn't change for once.
To him, only those in the foundation building realm could pose a threat to him.
Therefore, in Barren Land, he was invincible.
And after arriving in the Zhang main hall, everywhere was silence like a graveyard with no people.
Seeing this, a chuckle escaped from his mouth.
