The Escort Agency’s martial masters murmured amongst themselves, their eyes, fixed on Su Yu, filled with schadenfreude and undisguised contempt.

Even among the Security Guards, annoyance and disappointment flashed through the eyes of the majority.

They never would have thought that their own rapidly rising Commander would turn out to be such an oblivious fool.

The situation today was irreversible, like an arrow nocked on a bow. If their Commander was defeated in a single move, not only would their trip be a complete failure, but they would also bring utter disgrace upon the Public Security Bureau!

Feng Ting, however, took a deep breath, drew her long saber, and suppressed the disappointment she felt toward Su Yu, ready to provide backup at a moment’s notice.

However, faced with the crowd’s stares and murmurs, Su Yu’s expression didn’t change in the slightest.

He simply took a quiet step forward, the Qi and Blood in his body slowly circulating, ready to erupt at any moment.

"Begin!"

From the crowd, an Escort Agency leader suddenly roared at the top of his lungs.

"Die!!!"

The instant the word was spoken, Pei Zhan let out a furious roar like a ferocious tiger bursting from its cage.

"BANG!"

The ground beneath his feet shattered again as his body crossed several dozen feet in an instant, closing in on Su Yu!

He clenched his right fist. It carried a violent gale, blasting through the air and creating a piercing sonic boom as it smashed viciously toward Su Yu’s face!

What was even more suffocating was that this punch faintly contained a fist momentum that could make one’s very spirit tremble!

In the eyes of the crowd, Pei Zhan’s fist was no longer mere flesh and blood. It had transformed into a small, collapsing mountain, carrying the weight of a thousand tons, about to utterly crush the overconfident figure below into a bloody pulp!

’Fist momentum?’

In the distance, Feng Ting felt that spiritual pressure, and her expression changed abruptly.

’This Pei Zhan truly lives up to his reputation as a veteran expert at Refining Flesh Perfection. He’s actually touched the threshold of ’momentum’!’

’Forget Su Yu—even if the two of them joined forces, they probably couldn’t take this punch!’

However, facing this punch that was like a small mountain falling upon him, Su Yu neither dodged nor evaded. His great draconic spine suddenly tensed like a full moon, and silver Profound Armor instantly covered his right fist.

At the same time, the Qi and Blood in his body roared like a flood bursting through a dam, all of it compressed into a single point in his right fist in that instant before it detonated violently.

As he threw the punch.

"ROAR—!"

A savage roar, as if from a blood-red demonic ape, seemed to ring in everyone’s ears. A viscous, almost tangible Ape Demon Baleful Aura burst forth from his body!

This dark-red baleful aura instantly enveloped his right fist, forming a massive, blood-colored Fist Seal. The aura was so incredibly dense that its friction against the air produced a harsh, sizzling crackle!

The moment this baleful aura erupted, Pei Zhan, whose momentum had been unstoppable just a second ago, felt his heart violently tremble.

In an instant, the once-puny young man vanished from Pei Zhan’s sight. In his place stood a terrifying demonic ape that had strode forth from a sea of blood!

That soul-shuddering, world-shaking baleful aura brutally tore his ’fist momentum’ to shreds. It even turned back on him, viciously suppressing the surging Qi and Blood in his body and forcibly slowing his punch’s speed and power!

This was another one of Su Yu’s trump cards, newly developed. After he had killed Qin Bashan, Hu Yanmo, Hu Yanxin, and numerous Water Bandits, his Ape Demon Baleful Aura had finally undergone a new qualitative transformation.

When attached to his body or a weapon, the Ape Demon Baleful Aura not only increased his attack power by a full fifty percent, but it could also form a suppression similar to ’momentum,’ weakening his enemies!

"Wh... What is this monster?"

At this moment, Pei Zhan was completely flustered, his heart seized with alarm.

But he was, after all, a battle-hardened veteran of the martial world. At this life-or-death moment, he let out a hysterical roar and desperately circulated the Qi and Blood in his body, trying to break free from the formless suppression.

However, it was too late!

Boosted by the terrifying power of Ape Shade Swift Wind, which doubled his attack speed, Su Yu’s blood-red iron fist, though thrown later, arrived first!

"BOOM!"

The two fists slammed into each other viciously in mid-air!

A terrifying roar, like a thunderclap, echoed through the Escort Agency’s backyard. A violent shockwave, visible to the naked eye, swept out from the two of them, instantly sending several nearby martial artist apprentices flying!

Then, under everyone’s gazes of utter horror.

"CRACK!"

The scalp-numbing sound of shattering bone entered everyone’s ears with sickening clarity.

Pei Zhan’s proud burst of Ming Jin, in the face of this absurdly unreasonable power, lasted for less than an instant before it shattered like fragile glass!

The blood-red iron fist, like a savage, ancient bull, brutally tore through Pei Zhan’s skin and membrane defenses, cruelly snapped his arm bones, and smashed into his chest with undiminished force!

"PFFT!"

An incredibly domineering Ming Jin exploded within Pei Zhan’s internal organs, and the astonishing baleful aura mercilessly seared his very soul.

The renowned veteran expert of the Outer City let out a wretched scream on the spot. His powerful, tiger-backed and bear-waisted frame was sent flying backward like a broken sack!

"RUMBLE—!"

Pei Zhan’s body slammed viciously into the rockery in the backyard!

The hard rockery was instantly smashed to pieces and collapsed with a roar. Head-sized fragments of stone rained down, kicking up a huge, blinding cloud of dust.

For a moment, dust filled the air.

Only then did the surrounding onlookers react. Staring at the unbelievable scene before them, they were all dumbstruck.

The entire area fell into a dead silence.
