Grinding to the Martial Sage from the White Ape Fist

Su Yu continuously employed the Celestial Thunder Step, moving at an astonishing speed. However, carrying Qin Yu meant bearing the weight of an extra person, which slowed him down considerably.

The Profound Bone Realm woman behind him seemed to have also cultivated a profound movement technique, and she was gradually closing the distance between them.

Qin Yu saw the situation clearly. With a fierce look in her eyes, she said, "Junior Brother, put me down and save yourself!"

Su Yu pretended not to hear, focusing only on fleeing.

Behind them, the Profound Bone Realm woman grew more shocked the longer she chased. ’This Su Yu is carrying someone, yet he can still move so fast. Is he really in the Tiger Tendon Realm?’

’Damn it, a prodigy like him would be considered top-tier even in the Inner City. At his age, with such accomplishments... besides those few great figures competing to be the City Lord’s successor, who could possibly compare to him?’

’No, I have to kill him! I absolutely cannot let him escape!’

’If he makes it back into the city, who would dare to touch a Great Commander?’

"Brat, you can’t escape! Today, you die!"

The woman was giving it her all. Her Profound Bones thrummed with power, and each step she took stamped a three-foot-wide crater into the earth.

Her body shot forward like a cannonball, accelerating wildly in pursuit of Su Yu.

Seeing the distance between them shrinking, Qin Yu grew frantic. She’d never imagined she would become her junior brother’s burden.

’If they catch up to us, he’ll be killed trying to protect me!’

"Junior Brother, let me go! You have to escape!"

Qin Yu struggled with all her might, but Su Yu’s arms were like an iron clamp, holding her firmly in his embrace.

"Junior Brother, let me go! I can hold her off for a moment, giving you a chance to escape! If this goes on, we’re both going to die here!"

Qin Yu seemed to have made up her mind. Biting her lip hard, she grabbed Su Yu’s fingers wrapped around her waist and tried to pry them off with all her might.

"Junior Brother, if you don’t let me go right now, I’ll bite my tongue and kill myself!"

Su Yu knew his senior sister’s fiery temperament. With a helpless sigh, he said softly, "Senior Sister, don’t worry. I never do anything I’m not confident about. See that forest on Tiger Roar Mountain up ahead? Once we’re inside, you go hide. As for the woman chasing us... I will kill her."

Qin Yu was stunned. ’Kill the Profound Bone Realm woman?’

’What nonsense is he talking about!’

’But then she recalled all the things her junior brother had done before. She suppressed her doubt and allowed an absurd thought to take root: if he said he could do it, then maybe he actually could.’

’Someone in the Tiger Tendon Realm killing someone in the Profound Bone Realm...’

Conflict warred on her delicate features. It was unbelievable, yet because it was *him* saying it, she felt a sliver of possibility. She obediently fell silent, wrapping her arms around Su Yu’s chest and pressing her face against him to reduce their wind resistance.

In less than fifteen minutes, Su Yu rushed into the forest on Tiger Roar Mountain.

BANG!

The woman’s tyrannical fist followed close behind, a single punch felling the towering, ancient tree that had been right behind Su Yu.

With a great CRACK, the ancient tree—so thick it would take a person to wrap their arms around it—crashed to the ground with a boom.

"Senior Sister, go!"

Su Yu released his arms. Like a swallow returning to its nest, Qin Yu’s fiery red figure darted away, rushing into the distant thicket.

Before disappearing into the thicket, she glanced back at Su Yu and cried out, "Junior Brother, if you die here, I refuse to live on alone!"

Su Yu shook his head with a helpless smile. He really didn’t know what to make of his senior sister’s fiery personality.

"Brat, not running anymore? Have you chosen this place as your grave?"

The Profound Bone Realm woman caught up, her face radiating killing intent. ’After chasing him for so long, I’ve finally caught him. I absolutely cannot let him get away again!’

"Before I die, I’d like to ask: who are you, and why did you come to ambush me?"

The woman sneered at Su Yu’s question. "Since you wish to know why you’re dying, I don’t mind telling you."

Clearly, she was convinced that Su Yu’s death was a certainty.

"You killed a member of the Tiemu family, causing us to lose face in the Inner City. If we don’t kill you, how can the Tiemu family maintain its standing!?"

"Kneel and beg for mercy now. Save me the trouble, and I’ll leave you a whole corpse!"

’So it really is the Tiemu family,’ Su Yu thought. ’When I saw her attack, the golden light on her fists looked very similar to the Tiemu Golden Body. I had a feeling.’

’This just confirms it.’

’The Tiemu family, one of the most powerful families in the Inner City. They’ve come after me time and again. We are already mortal enemies!’

’Relying on their power, they probably never took a kid from the Outer City like me seriously.’

’This time, they even sent three Profound Bone Realm experts. Under normal circumstances, I would’ve had no chance of escaping.’

A murderous glint flashed in Su Yu’s eyes. He had now etched the Tiemu family into his memory.

RUMBLE!

Suddenly, vast dark clouds materialized in the sky. Within a few breaths, the once clear and cloudless sky was filled with roiling blackness.

The Profound Bone Realm woman, who had been about to strike, felt a sudden tremor of alarm. Her expression changed as she looked up at the sky.

’This atmospheric phenomenon... Is someone casting a Great Divine Power?’

Then she witnessed a sight that shook her to her core. Su Yu stood before her, his entire body radiating a purple Thunder Power that illuminated the dark forest under the gloomy sky.

His impossibly handsome figure, empowered by the Authority of Thunder, made him look like a true god descending to the mortal realm.

Moreover, she felt a suffocating aura emanating from him—it was the pressure of a superior life form. The disparity was so great that she had the overwhelming urge to fall to her knees, unable to even look at him directly.

Having released a sliver of the Authority of Thunder, Su Yu could feel the Thunder Power on a much deeper level.

’He also understood now. He had been using it all wrong before.’

Only by releasing the Authority of Thunder could he truly unleash this power. The thunderclouds in the sky, for instance, were now several times larger than they had been before.

Before, when he silently activated Thunder Summoning, the resulting clouds would only cover Black Stone City. But now, the thunderclouds were like a roiling tsunami, stretching beyond the horizon. They likely spanned hundreds of miles.

What delighted him even more was that the Thunder Power in the sky seemed to be at his beck and call, pouring ceaselessly into his body.

The Thunder Power within him reached an unprecedented level of fullness. He could feel it strengthening his very body.

’If I were to use the Celestial Thunder Step now,’ he thought, ’my speed would be absolutely terrifying!’

His gaze locked onto the Profound Bone Realm woman. With the air of a god issuing a divine command, he softly said:

"Thunder, come!"

"No!"

Sensing a terrifying crisis, the Profound Bone Realm woman cried out, spun around, and fled. Only in that moment did she realize how terribly, terribly wrong she had been.

’This Su Yu is a Divine Son!’

’No wonder his talent is so astounding! He must be one of the God-Favored—and one with an incredible bloodline talent, on par with a Divine Son!’

BOOM!

This bolt of celestial thunder was even more astonishingly powerful. It was several times thicker than any Su Yu had summoned before and even carried a hint of purple, destructive energy.

"AHH!"

Despite her astonishing speed, the Profound Bone Realm woman was still struck viciously in the side by the bolt of thunder.

The destructive power of the thunder exploded on impact. In the blink of an eye, half of her body was carbonized, turning into a blackened crisp.

"Spare me, Lord Divine Son!"

One had to admit, the vitality of a Profound Bone Realm expert was immense. Even after suffering such a grievous blow, the woman still had the strength to try and escape.

The black bone exposed on her thigh was clearly a tempered iron bone, as it had withstood the Thunder Power without damage.

Her Profound Bone hummed, allowing her to channel power into her legs once more in a desperate attempt to flee.

However, Su Yu simply pointed a finger.

BOOM!

Another terrifying bolt of lightning descended, striking her directly. It blasted her into charcoal, and her lifeless body collapsed to the ground.
