The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1431 - 1430: Seizing Cultivation

You Meng understood that what Yu Changfeng sought was undying immortality, but the method he chose was far too stupid.

He offended Su Changfeng, then kidnapped Su Changfeng’s younger sister as a threat—truthfully, from the moment this plan took shape in his mind, his death was already decided.

Although Xingluo and Dongling didn’t get along, You Meng and Yu Changfeng had known each other as old friends for many years, so of course You Meng didn’t want Yu Changfeng to end up like this.

"Yu Changfeng, hurry up and stop now. Otherwise, you won’t even have time to regret it." After all, they were old acquaintances, and You Meng couldn’t help but warn Yu Changfeng once more. If Yu Changfeng was willing to pull back in time, he might still be able to keep his life. But if he insisted on going through with this, there was really nothing You Meng could do.

"Su Changfeng, you don’t dare do anything to me. Don’t forget, your sister is still in my hands right now. If you act recklessly, don’t blame me for being rude." At this point, Yu Changfeng had no way out at all, so he believed Su Changfeng wouldn’t dare touch him. Chen Qingqing was that important to Su Changfeng; how could he just sit by and watch Chen Qingqing die?

"Once you’ve tasted death for yourself, I trust you’ll obediently tell me where she is." As soon as the words fell, Su Changfeng finally revealed himself, now standing right behind Yu Changfeng.

When Su Changfeng’s hand closed around Yu Changfeng’s neck, Yu Changfeng almost instinctively tried to resist. But in that instant, a vast, overwhelming force poured into his body, engulfing all of his energy, leaving him utterly unable to fight back.

"You’re not stupid, but you never should’ve laid a hand on my sister. Oh, and let me remind you—best behave yourself, don’t resist. Otherwise you’ll die even faster. After all, my power is inside your body; I can kill you at any moment." Su Changfeng used the same method against Yu Changfeng.

Yu Changfeng’s expression changed in an instant. He naturally understood Su Changfeng wasn’t joking with him; in fact, the moment he felt Su Changfeng’s power, he could already imagine his own outcome.

"I’m warning you, don’t mess around. If you kill me, Chen Qingqing won’t live either. Are you really going to ignore her life and death?" Yu Changfeng forced himself to speak.

"To become a Primordial Master, you must have gone through no small amount of effort, right? You have a thousand years of life ahead of you. If you die like this, your cultivation will vanish completely, and all your hard work will turn to smoke and dust. Yu Changfeng, is that the result you were after?" Su Changfeng said calmly.

Those words echoed constantly in Yu Changfeng’s ears.

In truth, experts like Yu Changfeng were very afraid of death. Otherwise, back in the Sourceless Forest when he saw the Silver Flood Dragon, he wouldn’t have fled in such disgrace.

The stronger one’s power, the less willing one is to face death—no one wants to see years of effort just go to waste.

Especially Yu Changfeng. He now possessed a thousand-year lifespan, and only a few hundred years had passed so far. How could he possibly be willing to face death now?

"Do you think you can scare me? I’m telling you, you’d better think this through. I’ve hidden Chen Qingqing somewhere no one knows. In just two days, she’ll die." Yu Changfeng was certainly afraid of death, but he was unwilling to give in. He had gone to all this trouble for the sake of obtaining the Fate Fruit; if he gave up now, wouldn’t all his efforts be for nothing?

"Have you ever felt your power dissipating? Why don’t you carefully feel what it’s like to go from a Primordial Master down to a Ninth Grade Expert? All the effort you’ve put in up to now will completely turn to smoke and vanish." Su Changfeng said indifferently.

"Hahaha... Don’t tell me you actually have the ability to strip away my Rank?" Yu Changfeng didn’t believe Su Changfeng, thinking he was only trying to scare him on purpose.

But very quickly, Yu Changfeng’s expression completely changed.

The instant he realized the energy in his body was being devoured by Su Changfeng’s power, he was utterly terrified.

If this continued, his strength would definitely decline, and the Primordial Essence cultivation he had achieved after so much effort would utterly vanish.

Although he didn’t understand how Su Changfeng was doing it, he could clearly feel the energy inside his body draining away bit by bit.

"Don’t do this, stop, hurry up and stop!" Completely at a loss, Yu Changfeng couldn’t help but shout and scream, no longer as sure of himself as before.

Seeing this, You Meng’s face also changed completely. She had never heard of such a thing, yet Su Changfeng was actually doing it—he could strip away the cultivation of a Primordial Level expert.

Maybe... maybe he could turn Yu Changfeng back into an ordinary person.

You Meng drew in a sharp breath of cold air. The look in her eyes as she watched Su Changfeng gradually filled with fear. After all, if Su Changfeng could do this to Yu Changfeng, it meant he could do the same to others.

Even... even to the Emperor!

If someday Su Changfeng and the Emperor tore off all pretense of cordiality, what would be waiting for the Emperor? And the hidden trump cards the Emperor had placed in Chenguang Hall—was there a chance they would end up in Su Changfeng’s hands instead?

"Too terrifying. You’re practically a Demon. What you’re doing to Yu Changfeng is worse than killing him outright." You Meng muttered. To a true powerhouse, seeing years of effort wiped out was a pain even worse than death.

"You still don’t plan to tell me where Chen Qingqing is?" Su Changfeng looked at Yu Changfeng and asked.

In fact, Yu Changfeng’s Rank was already faintly starting to unravel. Perhaps in the next second he would fall from his pedestal and become just a Ninth Grade Expert.

If he dropped to Ninth Grade, he would quickly begin to age, and for the rest of this life, he would truly have no chance to become a Primordial Master again.

On Wanhua Mountain, the Sect Elders the Emperor had assigned to come here all watched this scene with terrified expressions.

In name, they were Sect Elders, but in reality, they were simply the eyes and ears the Emperor had planted in the Changfeng Sect.

Now, the power Su Changfeng displayed and his frightening methods made their hearts pound wildly. If they accidentally incurred Su Changfeng’s displeasure, what sort of end would await them was all too easy to imagine.

Originally, all of them had been quite proud. Since they’d been personally appointed by the Emperor, they had always felt themselves high above others and never put anyone in their eyes.

Even Su Changfeng, to them, had been nothing more than a lowly ant.

But now, they no longer dared think that way. With power like this, he could crush them at any moment.

"His strength is actually this terrifying. Even a Primordial Master has no power to resist in front of him. We’d better leave the Changfeng Sect as soon as possible, or we might end up dead as well."

"Why don’t we leave right now? With power this frightening, I don’t dare stay any longer."

"Agreed, let’s go, hurry up and go."
