Chapter 678_1
Su Chengyu ended his meditative cultivation and opened his eyes. It coincided with the end of the battle between the Heaven-Mending Stone and Deng Taihui. Deng Taihui was thrown out of the Five-Colored Divine Light by the Heaven-Mending Stone. He was covered in wounds, bloodied, and fell to the ground. While he was not dead yet, he was hanging on by his last breath.
Su Chengyu recalled the Heaven-Mending Stone, wore it on his wrist, and immediately walked over to Deng Taihui. Deng Taihui struggled to raise his hand and spoke, "You... you..."
"On my own, I indeed can’t kill you. But I have assistance, and you don’t. So I knew that the one to die tonight would be you."
With that, Su Chengyu sent a hint of Sword Qi from his fingertip, severing Deng Taihui’s head, leaving only a headless body. Fresh blood dyed the ground. Flashing his sword light in front of him, he held Deng Taihui’s severed head and flew away on his sword.
Su Chengyu quietly returned to his room in the Dragon Soul Division, sat in meditation, absorbed nature’s spiritual energy, and continued to nurture his Dao Heart and Dao Foundation.
The news of Deng Taihui’s death quickly reached Xiang Yuesheng. The butler rushed into Xiang Yuesheng’s practice room in panic, his face filled with horror: "Chairman, we’ve just received the news that Deng Taihui is dead."
"What?! Taihui is also dead? How did he die!"
These four disciples were the ones he trusted the most. Particularly Deng Taihui, he had the highest potential among the four disciples and had the chance to step into the Martial King Realm. Upon hearing the news of his death, Xiang Yuesheng couldn’t sit still.
"The cause of death is still unclear and is being investigated. The leader died in his own home, along with his less-than-a-month-old son. None survived. The leader’s head has been severed, leaving only a headless body behind. The murderer was extremely brutal and relentless, even the child wasn’t spared. This is the biggest provocation to our Black Dragon Commerce Association."
Upon listening to the butler’s report, Xiang Yuesheng couldn’t suppress his fury and shattered the desk in front of him with one palm strike.
"Damn it! It’s utterly outrageous!"
