Chapter 263: Su Ming: Is This the Pride of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?

Among everyone present, Su Ming's spiritual power was the strongest, so he was the first to sense the abnormality. However, Gu Rong, hidden in the shadows, had already detected it even earlier.

He could clearly feel the aura of a Title Douluo, and there were also several other soul masters above the Soul Saint level. This was going to be tough. Yu Yuanzhen's strength wasn't weak, and he even had three inherited soul bones.

Facing him alone would already be a challenge, leaving no room to deal with the other soul masters. What to do? As for the guards secretly protecting Ning Rongrong, they were no match for the powerful experts Yu Yuanzhen had brought along.

When Su Ming shouted out the warning, most people were confused. But Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing, trusting Su Ming completely, quickly gathered around him, ready for battle.

Yu Tianheng, on the other hand, felt a surge of excitement. Finally, they're here!

Dugu Yan frowned, wondering why her grandfather hadn't arrived yet, especially now that they were facing danger.

As the moments passed, Su Ming's sensing abilities became even more precise. The soul master leading the group had a presence no weaker than Gu Rong. Su Ming glanced at those around him—he would have to reveal some of his hidden cards.

He quietly transmitted a message to the void: "Bone Grandpa, stay hidden for now. Don't reveal yourself until we know their purpose. They don't seem aware of your presence, and that's our only chance to escape."

Gu Rong, understanding the situation, also knew that if Yu Yuanzhen didn't play fair, he would have to launch a surprise attack.

If it were a one-on-one battle, Gu Rong wouldn't fear him. Yu Yuanzhen and he were both at the 95th level, and while Yu Yuanzhen had three soul bones and the Dragon Transformation technique, Gu Rong, the world's top defense-type soul master, was not to be underestimated. His martial soul was even more specialized than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

Still, why had the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan suddenly shown up? As Su Ming had suspected, the most likely reason was the involvement of Yu Xiaogang and the boy, Yu Tianheng.

Yu Xiaogang hadn't returned to his clan for years, and given last night's events, he hadn't had the time or means to contact powerful soul masters. Mostly, because he had no money.

So, the most suspicious person here was Yu Tianheng.

Over the past few days, Yu Tianheng had shown no signs of anything unusual, truly worthy of being a strong contender for clan leadership.

Moments later, Yu Yuanzhen and a group of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan elites arrived in front of Su Ming's group. Seeing that they were already in combat stance, Yu Yuanzhen laughed, "So you sensed us coming? Not bad, not bad at all!"

Su Ming frowned slightly, "May I ask, Senior Title Douluo, what is your purpose in seeking us out?"

In truth, Su Ming had already guessed. Though he couldn't recall exactly, the person before him was most likely the clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!

Aside from him, few Title Douluos on the continent could exude such a powerful presence, comparable to Gu Rong's.

Su Ming quickly ruled out the possibility of involvement from the Spirit Hall. After all, he hadn't interacted with them yet, so why would Bibi Dong or Qian Xunji send someone to intercept him?

Meanwhile, Su Ming subtly began circulating his soul power. Among them was a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!

Yu Yuanzhen ignored Su Ming's question and looked at Yu Tianheng, "Tianheng, are you sure this boy has a technique that can increase cultivation speed?"

At this, everyone present was shocked. So, the people here were called by their captain? They were all members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?

Su Ming wasn't surprised. The moment his technique was exposed, he had predicted that their journey would not be peaceful. And now, his suspicions were confirmed.

Dugu Yan growled, "Tianheng, what do you mean? Are you trying to put Su Ming in danger?"

Yu Tianheng stepped forward with a smile, "Of course not. Su Ming is about to enter Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. As long as he hands over the technique, I'm sure my grandfather will spare him."

Dugu Yan was incredulous, "Tianheng, I never thought you were this kind of person!"

Yu Tianheng sneered, "Why wouldn't I want this technique? Why should a mere commoner like Su Ming possess such an incredible method?"

"I can't accept it! You don't know how humiliated I felt when he defeated me in the Spirit Arena with just one move. It was unbearable!"

Turning to Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Tianheng added, "Grandfather, it must be true. It's said that Su Ming even taught this technique to the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan."

Yu Yuanzhen laughed heartily, "Good! Tianheng, if what you say is true, you will be the next leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

As they conversed casually, a massive wooden hand silently emerged from beneath Yu Tianheng's feet—a soul skill activated in an instant!

Su Ming glared at the shocked Yu Tianheng, his voice dripping with disdain, "You leaked information to your clan, yet you have the audacity to stand here and talk?"

Su Ming couldn't understand it. Didn't villains know that talking too much gets them killed?

Right before a fight, this guy still had the nerve to ramble on. Didn't he realize he was the perfect hostage? Especially since Yu Yuanzhen was his grandfather, making him even more valuable!

It was like those old cartoons, where the villains would just watch the heroes transform instead of attacking.

Yu Tianheng hadn't expected Su Ming to act so boldly in the face of his grandfather's overwhelming strength. He panicked, "Su Ming, let me go!"

Su Ming sneered, "Is this the pride of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? Shouldn't you be shouting some noble nonsense like, 'Don't worry about me, the technique is more important?'"

"Hah! You're just a hypocrite pretending to be noble!"

Yu Tianheng's face twisted with anger and shame, while Yu Yuanzhen watched Su Ming's actions with surprise.

For Yu Yuanzhen, sacrificing Yu Tianheng in exchange for a technique like this was a small price to pay. With it, perhaps even Yu Xiaogang could break through his long-standing bottleneck at the 29th level!

Yes, in Yu Yuanzhen's heart, Yu Xiaogang was more important than Yu Tianheng.

Hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen felt a twinge of pity for Su Ming. He had heard that Su Ming was once Yu Xiaogang's student. With a sense of admiration for his talent, Yu Yuanzhen said, "Su Ming, I'll give you a chance. Hand over the technique, and I'll make an exception and welcome you into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
