224 Impasse (1/2)
Looking at the pristine state Yun Yang was in, without even the tiniest hole on his black clothes, Shen Yushi knew that the opposite party had not even been scraped by the terrifying arsenal of hidden weapons.
His gaze bored into Yun Yang who was seated on the chair as he raised his question word by word. ”Who are you?”
Yun Yang smiled faintly and replied, ”I should be asking you this instead. Shen Yushi, who are you?”
”Friend, a straightforward person does not make insinuations.”
Shen Yushi stood with arms behind his back as he spoke faintly, ”Since you can find your way here, I believe you have some sort of purpose; you can speak of it frankly. Since you know that this reputed one is from the Four Seasons Tower, you should know full well what sort of existence the Four Seasons Tower carries!”
He continued slowly, ”Even Ling Xiaozui, as the Unrivaled Expert back in the day, had to avoid going against Four Seasons Tower. As for whether or not you can afford to provoke the Four Seasons Tower, you should consider it thoroughly.”
”Oh?”
Yun Yang smiled faintly. ”So you are really from Four Seasons Tower?”
”Is there any point trying to prove this now?” Shen Yushi scoffed.
Swiftly, his expression changed into one of menace as he said, ”Speak of your aim directly. If it's not overboard, I can let you go; I'll take it as... making a friend! If it were to be anything else, friend, wait for the assassination from the Four Seasons Tower!”
Yun Yang tilted his head and replied, ”Sir Shen... Deputy Minister Shen, are you that confident that the Four Seasons Tower can hold me accountable?”
”I have seen your cultivation base. Perhaps I am not your opponent as it's indeed peculiar and worthy to be prideful of, but you still have no hopes of making me stay today!” Shen Yushi said composedly.
One of his hand remained on his back as the other pointed around, saying, ”Since you could make it here, I bet you also know the wonders of a sally port like this... There are a total of ten tunnels in this secret chamber, all of them extending out from different directions.”
”Even though I can't fight you, I can still defend myself and you shall never keep me here! As long as I exit from any one of these tunnels, I can guarantee that from now onwards, there shall never be a day of peace in your life until you're dead!” Savageness tinted Shen Yushi's face as he uttered each word.
”What a strong threat indeed.”
”I'm actually afraid. A curse of a nightmare to last a lifetime! What do I do?” Yun Yang said.
His tone was relaxed, not at all frightened, despite his words.
A flip of Shen Yushi's wrist had a long emerald sword emerging in his hand; he said indifferently, ”Since you're heedless of my kind words, don't accuse me of being brutal.”
Yun Yang was still seated, waiting. He said smiling, ”You know that you're not my opponent yet you're not thinking of fleeing right now but to fight me. Obviously... there's another purpose.”
Shen Yushi's expression changed.
”Let me guess what your purpose is.” Yun Yang said airily.
Menace flashed in Shen Yushi's eyes. With another flick of his wrist, his long sword had suddenly turned into a flash of lightning. He clearly did not plan for Yun Yang to finish his words.
Yun Yang executed the steps of the Destiny Form, cruising through the sword light that was like a dragnet as he continued nonchalantly, ”Your purpose... there's something you care very much about in this secret chamber or some important thing that can't be seen by an outsider, so you can't leave.”
”Even if you wanted to flee, you have to conjure up a fight - even if you're not my opponent, you need to find an opportunity to destroy those things or take them away. Only then will you be able to leave without worry, right?”
The more Yun Yang spoke, the uglier the expression was on Shen Yushi's face, and the more frequent the sword light was emitted until it scintillated with energy.
”Let me guess what it is.”
Yun Yang's Destiny Footwork hastened in urgency as he continued cruising through the tightly woven net formed with the sword.
However, the sword air generated only grew in intensity as faint noises of friction and wind were heard. With a screeching sound, a green light flashed on Yun Yang as a hole was torn through the hem of his black robe.
A wave of cultivation skill finally showed itself.
Shen Yushi was taken aback before he chuckled coldly and said, ”And here I was still thinking which almighty person it is. So you're only a sixth peak juvenile? You think you can do anything with just this little peanut's worth of peculiar cultivation skill?”
It was just moments ago when Shen Yushi had attacked with all the strength he possessed that he managed to coerce the revelation of Yun Yang's true ability with his eighth peak pinnacle capability.
After affirming Yun Yang's true ability, Shen Yushi was relieved. He was no longer thinking of retreating but was resolute to make Yun Yang stay in this chamber forever!
The longsword stirred a ruffle of sword light before it was brought to the front of Shen Yushi's chest, the emerald radiance shining brighter, waiting to pounce.
Shen Yushi wore absolute confidence on his face. ”Child, take off your mask quickly and speak of your origins. Otherwise, this reputed one's sword will send you to the underworld!”
With the retraction of Shen Yushi's sword, Yun Yang could clearly feel the intense sword air around him vanishing. All of it had concentrated entirely at the tip of the sword in his hands!
The tip of his sword formed a huge whirlpool like a black hole, sucking even the air in this secret chamber; Yun Yang began to feel suffocated.
