The Heavens begin by inheriting their grandfather's cheat ability

Chapter 56 Encirclement and Kill

Shi Zhongyu, dressed in a white brocade robe, sat atop a white horse.

He concealed his true energy, his expression indifferent, and his gaze swept over the shops on both sides, showing no sign of being moved by the subtle scrutinizing glances around him.

At this moment, the eaves of houses and shops on both sides of the street were crowded with onlookers.

Some people who had seen Shi Zhongyu said to those around them who hadn't, "See that? That's the Jade-Faced Yama!"

"It was a young man? He single-handedly destroyed the Blissful Evil Sect and the Blood Shadow Sect?"

"Who can argue with that? They're just too young!"

The surrounding onlookers were buzzing with discussion, while others were also watching Ye Jinghong and the others opposite Shi Zhongyu.

Ye Jinghong and the other three groups stood side by side, their imposing presence completely blocking the entire street.

The leader was Ye Jinghong, dressed in a dark blue outfit with silver-embroidered blade patterns. He had a resolute face and a long, cold iron sword hanging at his waist.

On its left and right sides are the old ghost, the master of the Black Mountain Ghost Cave, and Guan Tang, the evil spirit, holding a ghost-head knife.

The master of Seven Fiend Ridge was hidden behind the three of them.

The core experts of all four forces were present, and their troops formed a continuous line, exuding murderous intent, all staring at the young man in front of them.

Shi Zhongyu stood on the white horse, raising his eyes to look at Ye Jinghong and the others opposite him, his expression as indifferent as before.

These dozens of experts in front of him seemed to be nothing more than fleeting clouds in his eyes.

Seeing the two sides locked in a standoff, the onlookers, who had already found hidden spots, all kept their eyes glued to the scene.

On the street, the wind whipped up dust, and the tense atmosphere almost froze.

As everyone held their breath in anticipation, Ye Jinghong took a step forward.

He slightly drew his long sword, a flash of cold light, and his voice was deep and icy.

"Jade-Faced Yama, you have wantonly slaughtered your fellow martial artists! Today, I, Ye Jinghong, together with the Black Cave Master, Hall Master Guan, and Lord Liling, will act on behalf of Heaven and take your dog's life!"

"ha?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Shi Zhongyu sat on his horse, laughing incessantly.

"Sect Leader Ye, who in the entire Western Regions doesn't know that your Ye Dao Alliance, Evil Fiend Hall, Black Mountain Ghost Cave, and Seven Fiend Ridge are all scourges of the Western Regions!"

"Whose mandate are you acting on behalf of Heaven? What kind of principles are you following?"

Then, his smile vanished, and he slowly drew the Cold Sky Sword.

"I've heard from my fellow martial artists that your blade is incredibly fast, Master Ye. Today, I'd like to experience it for myself. Would you dare to offer some pointers?"

Ye Jinghong narrowed his eyes slightly. If he hadn't known the power of the Jade-Faced Yama before him, he might have attacked directly.

He knew all too well how powerful the Blood Shadow Sect Master and the Blissful Sect Master were; their martial arts were no less than his own.

Those figures were all slain by the Jade-Faced Yama before him, and he went alone...

"You're scared!"

Shi Zhongyu sighed in disappointment.

"If you're afraid, the knife won't be sharp."

"The person is the soul of the sword; your sword has lost its soul!"

As Shi Zhongyu spoke, his gaze swept over Ye Jinghong and the others.

"Since you're all scared, then come at me all at once!"

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Tao, the deputy sect leader beside Ye Jinghong, couldn't contain himself any longer.

"Well, lad, let me have my say with you first!"

Liu Tao also used a knife.

He prepared to step out from the crowd and test the Jade-Faced Yama before him.

As Liu Tao walked out, Ye Jinghong whispered, "Don't worry, Lao Liu, I'll be waiting behind you. We'll step in when it matters!"

Lao Gui, Guan Tang, and the others all nodded.

They originally intended to test the martial arts skills of the Jade-Faced Yama before making a decision.

Shi Zhongyu, riding on his horse, looked at the man in tight-fitting clothes who had stepped out from the crowd.

He squinted.

Clearly, this person wanted to test his martial arts skills.

Since you've already tested me, then don't go back!

Shi Zhongyu remained seated firmly on his horse, pointing his sword at the man in tight-fitting clothes, signaling him to hurry up.

"court death!"

Seeing that Shi Zhongyu looked down on him, the man in the tight-fitting clothes leaped up and swung his long sword with a sharp gust of wind, aiming straight at Shi Zhongyu on horseback.

The blade's momentum was fierce and its whistling sound was chilling.

Shi Zhongyu remained seated on horseback without moving an inch until the blade was almost upon him. Only then did he slightly shift his body, skillfully avoiding the blade!

Not only that, while dodging the blade's attack, his right hand shot out with lightning speed and precisely grabbed the man's wrist.

The evasion and capture happened in the blink of an eye. After the onlookers reacted, they saw that the Jade-Faced Yama had already gripped Liu Tao's wrist tightly.

Just as everyone was waiting for Liu Tao's next move, they saw that Liu Tao's face was contorted and he was completely motionless.

"What is he doing?"

"Wait, why don't we use our palms to strike that Jade-Faced Yama now!"

Just as everyone was whispering among themselves, a sword was drawn with a whoosh.

A huge head rolled to the ground!

Liu Tao's eyes were open, his dead eyes still filled with disbelief.

"Successfully absorbed internal energy, proficiency +3000."

Shi Zhongyu glanced at it and then ignored it.

This guy who just made his move is quite a character.

It actually provided 3,000 proficiency points.

From the moment Liu Tao made his move to the moment Shi Zhongyu drew his cold sword, it was less than a breath.

No one understood it at all.

"Isn't that Vice Sect Leader Liu a top-tier expert? I heard his martial arts are only slightly weaker than Ye Jinghong and the others?"

"It doesn't look like it! Could it be just hype?"

Some people don't understand and only think that Liu Tao's martial arts skills and reputation are fake.

At this moment, fear flashed in Ye Jinghong's eyes. Others might not know how skilled Liu Tao was in martial arts, but he knew it better than anyone else.

Old Ghost, Guan Tang, and the others looked at Ye Jinghong with questioning eyes.

Isn't this a test?

Their disciples could also do something like rushing off to their deaths.

Ye Jinghong wasn't embarrassed by the stare; instead, he said in a deep voice, "This person's martial arts are terrifyingly powerful; we're in trouble!"

"Vice Sect Leader Liu's martial arts are only slightly inferior to mine. Even I would need hundreds of moves to defeat Liu Tao!"

Upon hearing this, Lao Gui, Guan Tang, and Master Li Ling gasped in shock.

They stared intently at Shi Zhongyu. If what Ye Jinghong said was true, just how skilled was this man in martial arts?

They didn't notice a single trace.

They had initially felt confident of victory, but suddenly their confidence wavered.

Shi Zhongyu looked at the group and said calmly, "Does anyone else want to test my martial arts skills?"

Ye Jinghong took a deep breath and stared at Shi Zhongyu.

"Jade-Faced Yama's martial arts are unparalleled; we admit we are no match for him. But if you intend to take our lives directly!"

"Then please don't blame us for joining forces in resistance!"

As he spoke, he pointed his long sword at Shi Zhongyu.

"All members of the Leaf Blade Alliance, attack together and kill him!"

Behind him were dozens of core disciples, and two other elders rushed towards Shi Zhongyu without hesitation.

The people from Black Mountain Ghost Cave, Seven Fiend Ridge, and Evil Fiend Hall, under the orders of Old Ghost, Master Li Ridge, and Guan Tang, also rushed towards Shi Zhongyu.

They were eager to know how the Jade-Faced Yama could dodge in such a densely packed street.

Shi Zhongyu watched the people rushing up, especially noticing that they were not far apart, and that if one person paused even slightly, another would almost immediately squeeze in.

He was taken aback at first, then his eyes couldn't help but reveal a burning desire.

The Northern Darkness Divine Art he possesses can absorb the internal energy of not just one person, but a group of people!
