An Yu attacks Su Chen with her full strength, but he easily blocks her sword with his bare hands. Aunt Lin, seeing An Yu in danger, unleashes her powerful "Ice Soul Dragon Flame" to freeze Su Chen. However, Su Chen uses his Illusion Crystal to swiftly sever Aunt Lin's arm, incapacitating her.
An unprecedented shock rippled through her, a sensation she hadn’t felt in eons. Who was this young man hailing from the Minor Thousand Worlds? Her gaze instinctively snapped upward. At that moment, Su Chen was clenching An Yu’s Purple Heart Sword in his left hand, a playful smirk gracing his lips as he toyed with her. "You wish for me to address you as Grand Aunt?" Su Chen inquired, his eyes fixed on An Yu. "......" It was only then that An Yu managed to cling to a shred of rationality. Beneath her mask, her exquisite features were etched with stark terror. A genuine, debilitating fear gripped her; this individual possessed formidable power! He had effortlessly dismissed her assault, crippling Aunt Lin with a single strike—such overwhelming might would challenge even the most senior disciples of the Blood Cang Sky Domain! Suddenly. Just as An Yu’s mind reeled in a vortex of dread, her thoughts scattering, a sharp, grating sound pierced the air. Crack, crack, crack... The piercing noise jolted her back to the present. Her captivating eyes narrowed to slivers, her slender frame quivering as if struck by a bolt of lightning. Her gaze remained locked on the Purple Heart Sword Su Chen held. That... that Purple Heart Sword was being crushed into worthless scrap by Su Chen's grip. It was the Purple Heart Sword! Though not a Spirit Imperial Weapon, it stood at the pinnacle of Cloud Imperial Weapons, adorned with myriad intricate runes and powerful formations. The Purple Heart Sword boasted a sharpness capable of effortlessly cleaving through lesser treasures. And now, it was reduced to mangled metal by Su Chen's bare hands? A chilling dread prickled An Yu’s scalp; she had never experienced such profound fear. Her teeth gnashed together, the sensation akin to a terrifying nightmare—such an impossibly potent genius could not possibly exist in reality! "Young lady, isn't wearing a mask exhausting?" Su Chen, disregarding An Yu's wide, fearful eyes, raised his right hand and, with casual grace, removed her mask. His actions were driven by pure mischief and idle curiosity. Faced with Su Chen's advancing hand, An Yu dared not resist. Her entire being felt frozen, incapable of movement save for an involuntary tremor. "Oh, quite beautiful." Removing the mask, Su Chen expressed a sliver of admiration; the young woman was undeniably stunning, even with a pallid face and eyes wide with terror—a captivating vision. Her complexion was exceptionally fine, as white as freshly fallen snow! Utterly flawless! Her deep, clear black eyes sparkled with an arresting luminescence, even amidst her fear, reminiscent of a newborn's gaze, untainted by worldly concerns. By Su Chen's personal metrics, she warranted a score of 97—among his intimate circle, only Wenren Nongyue, Nalan Qingcheng, and Di Deijin slightly outranked her. She was indisputably a beauty of the caliber that could historically topple nations. "Raise your hand." After a moment of appraisal, Su Chen chuckled. "W-what... what do you intend to do?" An Yu stammered, tears beginning to stream down her face. She had never encountered such a desperate and terrifying situation. Even Aunt Lin was powerless to protect her. This demonically powerful scoundrel was too formidable! In his presence, she felt paralyzed by fear. What did he want? An Yu was aware of her own striking beauty. Thus, with her mask removed, her foremost concern was: what were Su Chen's intentions? "I said, raise your hand—yes, your left hand." Su Chen offered no explanation, his playful smile widening. This smile, however, appeared as a demonic grin in An Yu's panicked perception! Terrifying. Incredibly, unbearably terrifying. She bit down hard on her lip, nearly drawing blood. Her sole resolve was that if this fiend attempted anything further, she would end her own life! Taking a trembling breath, An Yu slowly raised her hand. To her utter horror, Su Chen merely took her hand and gently removed the spatial ring from her left finger. "What did you imagine I intended?" Su Chen inquired, his smile imbued with mischief. If An Yu sought to plunder him, was it not natural for him to reciprocate? One could presume a young lady from the Grand Cosmos World, like An Yu, would possess valuable items within her spatial ring, correct? An Yu instinctively exhaled a breath of relief. Though her spatial ring held numerous precious treasures, the fact that Su Chen only took the ring itself provided a measure of comfort. Subsequently, Su Chen's gaze shifted towards Aunt Lin, positioned not far away. With a mere thought, he unceremoniously confiscated Aunt Lin's spatial ring. "Apologize." Just as An Yu believed the ordeal was concluded, Su Chen turned his attention back to her, a smile on his face. A request, he implied, for an apology.
"......" An Yu’s tears flowed even more abundantly; she’d been bullied to the point where she wanted to die—the auction house humiliation made her vomit blood, she sought revenge, and yet she was taught a lesson instead, with her sword crushed, her space ring taken, and now being asked to apologize?
But could An Yu dare not apologize?
No, she dared not.
Su Chen’s strength was so terrifying; he could easily wipe both her and Aunt Lin out!
"I’m... I’m... I’m sorry... boohoo..." An Yu was crying as she apologized, her tear-stained face genuinely heartwrenching, but to Su Chen, it was as if he had a stone heart.
"Hmm, if I remember correctly, didn’t you say I should call you Grand Aunt?" Just when she thought this should be enough, Su Chen should let her and Aunt Lin go, he unexpectedly spoke playfully.
An Yu’s crying halted abruptly.
She couldn’t believe the extent of this bastard’s vile nature!!!
So petty?
Holding a grudge like that?
Even remembered the three words ’Grand Aunt’?
"Even if I called you Grand Aunt, would you dare to accept?" Su Chen’s smile was becoming more teasing.
"I... I... I don’t dare." An Yu was utterly embarrassed, her voice trembling terribly.
"What’s your name?" Su Chen finished teasing and robbing, and now, it was time to get down to business; he wanted some information from An Yu.
"An Yu."
"Where are you from?"
"The... Grand Cosmos World’s sixth-rank power, Blood Cang Sky Domain." An Yu didn’t hold back at all, saying this to let Su Chen know her background was significant, so he would have some scruples, giving her and Aunt Lin more safety.
"Blood Cang Sky Domain?" Su Chen recalled what Jia Tiansheng mentioned—that recently, the senior brother of Blood Cang Sky Domain would arrive at Ascension Thousand City to assess Ke Wuxin.
Strange.
Is the senior brother this girl before him?
No, that shouldn’t be!
The senior brother should be male, right?
"You’re here to assess Ke Wuxin?" Su Chen asked.
"No... no, I’m the daughter of the Territory Master of Blood Cang Sky Domain; it’s Xia Geng, not me, who assesses Ke Wuxin. I sneaked out to play." An Yu spoke the truth.
