Cui Yu, unexpectedly, was so resolute this time!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he traversed centuries and insulted Yu Jinhong's mother!
Yu Jinhong was utterly stunned. Previously, whenever he visited the crematorium, Shen Shuzhen still had some backbone, while Cui Yu was the most pliable. A mere hint of displeasure from Yu Jinhong, and Cui Yu would be eager to lick his boots.
This time, Yu Jinhong thought that by capturing Qianqian, he could force Cui Yu to yield, but he never expected this tactic to fail.
Not only did it fail, but Cui Yu also uttered such defiant words!
Following these pronouncements, the crematorium staff, who had lost all morale, were as if injected with adrenaline. They raised their fists, their eyes burning with a determination to fight to the death, vowing to battle the enemy until the very end!
Although Qianqian was in peril, she showed no fear. Instead, she was deeply moved by Cui Yu's words and was even willing to sacrifice herself in the next moment!
Seeing everyone's fighting spirit rekindled, Xu Qian was also filled with fervor. He began to strike the gong rhythmically, transforming it into a war drum!
The morale of the crowd surged. Even Wei Qin was somewhat affected. He took a few steps back and asked Yu Jinbo,
"What should we do?"
Yu Jinbo surveyed the scene from above, his expression grim.
He didn't know what had happened to make the crematorium staff, who were like stray dogs, fight so desperately, but he had seen the outcome.
This was undoubtedly a slap in Yu Jinbo's face, challenging the authority of the Yu family in Qiantang!
A glint of killing intent flashed in Yu Jinbo's eyes as he coldly pronounced their death sentence:
"Since that's the case, Qiantang no longer needs you. Second Brother, starting with the girl in your hand, no one present tonight shall be spared!!"
Yu Jinbo was determined to annihilate them!
For he absolutely would not permit anyone to resist him in Qiantang!
Upon receiving the order, Yu Jinhong, holding Qianqian's body in one hand, raised the other high. Ghostly energy condensed into a sharp sword, ready to cleave off Qianqian's head!
"Qianqian!"
Cui Yu's face changed drastically, and he charged directly at Yu Jinhong!
Qianqian, however, had already prepared herself. She held her head high, her chest out, and calmly exposed her neck.
If her death could usher in a brighter tomorrow, she was willing!
For the sake of the crematorium's future, and even more so for Cui Yu!
"Qianqian!!!"
Cui Yu's eyes were bloodshot with rage, regretting his lack of ability, which prevented him from stopping Yu Jinhong in time!
"Die!"
Yu Jinhong sneered, and with a swift movement, prepared to commence this bloody massacre!
But at this very moment!
A shadow flashed before Yu Jinhong's eyes. His massive arm was severed on the spot, with flames burning at the wound!
By the time Yu Jinhong came to his senses, Qianqian had already vanished!
"Who?!"
Yu Jinhong roared in fury. To deal with the small crematorium today had already encountered so many twists and turns, and he couldn't even kill a girl!
Whoosh!
A pair of wooden wings flapped in mid-air. Yan Shouyi, holding a Zanpakuto and carrying the just-rescued Qianqian in his arms, said coldly,
"Lu Ban's descendant, Yan Shouyi!"
"Brother Yan!"
Seeing Yan Shouyi appear, everyone's faces broke out in ecstatic joy!
He had returned!
He had returned!
He had returned!!
Xu Qian and the others felt immensely relieved. They had been enduring a bitter struggle, waiting for this man's return.
Fortunately, he had not disappointed them and had returned in time!
Cui Yu was even more excited, saying, "Brother Yan, I knew you would definitely come back!"
Yan Shouyi smiled, letting Sanyuan descend, and safely delivered Qianqian into Cui Yu's embrace.
Qianqian was unharmed!
Cui Yu, holding Qianqian, was immensely grateful to Yan Shouyi, tears welling up in his eyes.
Yan Shouyi patted Cui Yu's shoulder and said with a smile, "I heard what you said just now. You did very well. Grandma Shen will be proud of you."
Cui Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Next time, I won't let anyone have the chance to threaten me!"
Although Cui Yu had shown backbone this time, if Yan Shouyi hadn't intervened, he could only have watched his beloved woman die.
In that instant, Cui Yu seemed to have grown immensely. He not only understood his responsibility but also the importance of strength.
"We'll deal with future matters later. For now, I'll handle the present trouble."
After speaking, Yan Shouyi returned to Sanyuan's back. The man and the bird soared into the sky, confronting the three Ghost Kings head-on!
Yu Jinbo's face darkened as he sized up Yan Shouyi: "Lu Ban's descendant?"
Yu Jinhong shook his arm, which quickly grew back, but his expression was unpleasant:
"Never heard of this person. Where did this wild kid come from... his methods are quite ruthless!"
Wei Qin sneered, "Although this kid has decent strength, in the face of our hundreds of years of cultivation as Ghost Kings, it's still not enough."
What Wei Qin said was exactly what Yu Jinbo was thinking. Yu Jinbo let out a cold snort and said loudly,
"Just this kid? Where is Shen Shuzhen? Where are the Maoshan Taoists? Is this your trump card? If this is all you have, you still can't escape death today!"
Even now, Yu Jinbo still looked down on the people before him.
After all, the strength of a Ghost King was undeniable. If they weren't powerful enough, they couldn't have ruled Qiantang for so many years.
Facing Yu Jinbo's contempt, Yan Shouyi smiled.
He said softly,
"It was I who incited your relationship with the Zhou family."
"It was I who killed the Ghost King hidden by the Zhou family."
"The traps set along the mountain road today were also my doing."
"Looking at your current state, you don't seem to be at ease. Having suffered so many losses at my hands, do you really look down on me that much?"
"Alas, it is precisely because of the stupidity of your Yu and Wei families that you cannot escape the fate of annihilation today!"
Upon hearing Yan Shouyi's words, the three Ghost Kings were all taken aback.
What was this kid saying?!
Everything that had happened before wasn't the work of Shen Shuzhen and the Maoshan disciples, but this Lu Ban descendant standing before them?!
So, for all their efforts, we Ghost Kings, in the end, didn't even figure out who the mastermind was, and we even lost so many men for nothing?!
Yu Jinbo's eyes widened, staring at Yan Shouyi in disbelief.
The impetuous Yu Jinhong was even more enraged, swinging his massive palm towards Yan Shouyi!
"You scoundrel, I will make you pay with blood!!"
"Five Thunder Orthodox Method!"
Boom!
Yan Shouyi, without fear of Yu Jinhong, immediately invoked the lightning techniques of Longhu Mountain to counter Yu Jinhong!
Yu Jinhong hadn't expected Yan Shouyi to have such a move, and its power was truly impressive. He was immediately forced back repeatedly by the Five Thunder Orthodox Method, his soul even somewhat scattered!
Wei Qin and Yu Jinbo, seeing how fierce Yan Shouyi was, were both greatly astonished!
Yan Shouyi, riding Sanyuan and wielding his Zanpakuto, stood proudly in the sky like a king, as if single-handedly defending the entire crematorium!
He declared with arrogance, "With me, Yan Shouyi, here today, all of you shall perish by my blade. Even if the Three Pure Ones themselves were to arrive, they couldn't stop me!"
