Chapter 89: Didn’t You Say You Were Very Strong?

"Are you threatening me?"
Su Yifan's expression was cold and unreadable.
"What if I am?"
Yu Wanhsiung's voice turned sinister. "I hear you have a sister renowned for her beauty. She must still be untouched, right?"
"It's been a while since I claimed a first blood. If you..."
He didn't get to finish his sentence.
In that instant—
With a swift motion, Su Yifan's figure vanished from where he stood.
The next moment, he was in front of Yu Wanhsiung, his hand gripping the man's neck, lifting him effortlessly into the air.
The entire sequence took less than two seconds.
Catching up to what had happened,
Mei Chuanneiku beside them was so startled he nearly wet himself.
What just happened?
How... how powerful is he?
Yu Wanhsiung was a martial grandmaster, yet now he was being handled like a helpless chicken?
"You... no, impossible. How can you be so strong?"
Yu Wanhsiung struggled wildly.
He tried to channel his internal energy, but found no response at all.
"Weren't you boasting about your strength?"
Su Yifan questioned with his cold, impassive face.
He had intended to toy with them a bit longer, but Yu Wanhsiung had crossed the line by mentioning his family.
It was like searching for trouble in a latrine.
Yu Wanhsiung's mind was in chaos, waves of terror crashing within him.
How could this be?
Was this truly Su Yifan?
Rumor had it he only killed the Southeast King, who was merely a grandmaster himself.
He had always believed Su Yifan's strength reached no further than the early stage of grandmaster.
After last night's failed assassination, he guessed Su Yifan was at best at the late stage of grandmaster.
Yet now, he was subdued so easily—why?
"You... you can't kill me!"
Yu Wanhsiung managed to croak out.
"Though you'll die today without a doubt, I still want to hear your reason."
Su Yifan replied.
Yu Wanhsiung gasped for breath, then said, "Because you can't afford to offend Shadow Remnants. My branch here is just a subsidiary in Cloud City."
"Our Shadow Remnants organization extends throughout the whole Xia nation. Our leader is a Martial Emperor. Do you truly think you can afford to cross us?"
As he spoke, Yu Wanhsiung began to laugh.
He had absolute confidence in his organization.
Su Yifan would never dare kill him.
But just then,
Su Yifan's icy voice rang out, "Save a spot when you go down."
"What do you mean?"
Yu Wanhsiung was confused.
"Your leader will soon join you below. Save him a place, so he can reincarnate quickly."

"What! You brat! How dare you—"
Yu Wanhsiung tried to protest.
In the next moment,
Crack!
Su Yifan applied a little force, snapping Yu Wanhsiung’s neck, and tossed him aside.
Dead... he's dead?
A martial grandmaster, just like that?
Mei Chuanneiku was utterly stunned, overwhelmed with shock.
He didn't doubt that someone could kill a grandmaster, but he couldn't believe a young man like Su Yifan could.
Su Yifan turned his gaze to Mei Chuanneiku, speaking quietly:
"Now it’s your turn, little cherry blossom."
"Don't come any closer!"
Mei Chuanneiku stumbled back in terror, tripping over the chair behind him.
Su Yifan ignored his words, advancing slowly.
Seeing this,
Mei Chuanneiku looked around desperately, spotted a window nearby, and rushed toward it.
"Hmph!"
Su Yifan snorted.
He flicked a burst of energy from his hand, shattering Mei Chuanneiku’s leg.
"Ah!!"
Mei Chuanneiku screamed in agony, collapsing to the floor.
He turned, glaring at Su Yifan, frantically crawling backward.
"Do you think you can escape me?"
Su Yifan smiled, his lips curling. "Obey, take off your pants."
???
What did that mean?
Mei Chuanneiku froze, then suddenly realized, his face twisting in panic, his body tensing up.
"Xia nation dog, stay away! I'd rather die, jump from this mountain, than let you violate me!"
With that, he drew a short dagger from his waist.
"What are you imagining? I just want to—"
Su Yifan began to explain,
But just then,
"Farewell, beloved Sakura nation, dear Mama-san, until we meet again in the next life."
With a hiss,
Mei Chuanneiku, speaking his native tongue, slashed his own throat, blood spurting in several streams.
Su Yifan stared wordlessly.
Damn it!
He only wanted to look, not do anything; was it really necessary?
"Forget it. Since you’re already a corpse, I’ll spare you."
Su Yifan, disappointed, turned and left.
...
An hour later,
The Martial Alliance received word and dispatched people to the scene.
"How is it?"

"Fifty-three bodies in all, every single one dead, not a survivor."
A middle-aged man reported.
Hearing this, Hong Jinlong sighed, "Well, it's actually a good thing for us."
As he spoke,
Zheng Yuan's voice called out, "Leader, come quickly and take a look."
Hearing the urgency,
Hong Jinlong hurried over. "Did you find something?"
"Leader, look, there’s a cherry blossom here."
Zheng Yuan pointed at Mei Chuanneiku lying on the ground.
"Have you never seen a cherry blossom before?"
Hong Jinlong said irritably.
Damn it!
He thought there was some discovery,
Only to be called over to see a cherry blossom—if it were a woman, maybe, but a man? What’s the point?
Seeing that the leader didn’t understand,
Zheng Yuan quickly explained, "Leader, pay attention to the way he died. He seems to have committed suicide."
Hong Jinlong took a closer look.
He saw Mei Chuanneiku clutching a blood-soaked dagger, and even in death, there was a trace of terror in his eyes.
"What caused this?"
Hong Jinlong asked the middle-aged man beside him.
After a brief examination and analysis, the man replied,
"He must have seen something or someone terrifying before he died, and in a fit of panic, chose to end his life."
"Someone terrifying?"
Hong Jinlong stroked his chin, unable to figure it out. "Forget it, move the bodies back first."
"Yes, Leader."
...
Elsewhere,
Inside the Azure Cloud Gang,
Crow paced anxiously back and forth.
Just then,
A subordinate rushed in, breathless, "Boss, news—Shadow Remnants’ stronghold has been wiped out, everyone inside is dead."
"Are you sure?!"
Crow asked excitedly.
"Absolutely. I saw the Martial Alliance hauling bodies down the mountain, one after another."
The subordinate panted.
Though he was a bit far away, he clearly saw the Alliance transporting corpses.
Hearing this,
Crow finally believed it. He slapped his thigh, "No wonder Young Master Su is so formidable—when he says he'll do it, he does it, fierce as hell!"
He immediately pulled out his phone and sent a message on WeChat.
