Chapter 584: Killing Cloudbreach, Sunmoon Descends (1)
"Su Yu!"
A furious roar rang out. All the myriad race students had been killed. Even Chen Chen, the single character faction's secret weapon, had been killed by Su Yu. And he had killed all those people without breaking a sweat.
He was too strong. Even though he was still at the Mental Tempering Stage, he could easily kill Skysoars. Of the five dao protectors, the iron-winged bird and the cloud tiger elders were dead. The barbaric bull and fox elders were being attacked by three beasts. As for the flying wolf elder, he was also being attacked by the water elemental, shadow, and the others.
The situation seemed to have changed abruptly. In the beginning, there were twelve students in Su Yu's group. Zhou Hao had left. The five myriad students had been killed. Chen Chen had been killed as well. Only five remained. Ji Xiaomeng, Li Minyu, the sky horse youth, the black panther youth, and the mountain antelope youth were the survivors.
The chaotic battle raged on.
Yu Hong and Old Zheng were faced with Hu Hao. Xia Wen and Xia Wu were fighting the two Nine Heavens Cultural Research Academy elders. The three Mountainsea beasts of Su Yu were dealing with old fox and the other dao protectors. The old sky horse and the old mountain antelope were dealing with Blood Rakshasha.
Both sides seemed to be evenly matched. Numerous formations activated around them, sealing and covering the sky with a gray layer of light. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novᴇlfire.net
Having easily killed the other students, Su Yu looked at the remaining students and smiled, "Friends, why don't you introduce yourself again? Yu Hong is a traitor who is colluding with the myriad races to kill me and the dao protectors from the Xia Family. What is your opinion about that?"
Ji Xiaomeng innocently said, "I'm really only here to enjoy the show!"
Su Yu looked at her and smiled, "Miss Ji, are you sure?"
"Yes!" Ji Xiaomeng pitifully said, "I never lie!"
Su Yu laughed and asked, "What do you think about taking a blade from me?"
"..."
Ji Xiaomeng maintained her innocent expression, but when she saw that Su Yu was really walking toward her, she pointed at Li Minyu and said, "Fine, I'll come clean. I'm here for her."
Li Minyu said nothing.
Seeing that Su Yu was still walking toward her, Ji Xiaomeng hurriedly said, "I'm telling the truth! My dad said that she probably has a Sunmoon behind her. And that Sunmoon might be Lan Tian. He told me to keep an eye on her! I'm not lying!"
She then assumed a pitiful appearance and said, "We're on the same side! Don't kill me!"
"Lan Tian?"
When Su Yu looked at Li Minyu, the look in her eyes changed. Her entire presence changed as she said, "Don't misunderstand me. I'm only here to enjoy the show."
Su Yu stared at both Ji Xiaomeng and Li Minyu. Finally, he smiled. Interesting. Both of them were backed by Sunmoons. Had Director Ji discovered the traces of Lan Tian?
Su Yu said, "I don't care if you're with Lan Tian or Director Ji. Don't get involved in my affair. I am only here to kill those from the single character faction. But if you want to create trouble for me...feel free to do it."
He was very arrogant. But he was worthy of his arrogance. After all, he was also someone with a backer. A ninth-stage Sunmoon was waiting nearby to help him. Thus, he did not fear the backers of these two unless they were able to instantly break through into the Invincible Realm.
The two had definitely not arrived with their true bodies, but it was likely that they had respectively attached a strand of their consciousness to each of these two.
Su Yu asked curiously, "What's Li Minyu's relationship with you?"
He was speaking to Lan Tian.
Li Minyu smiled and said, "My student."
"Student?"
Su Yu raised his brow. He knew that Li Minyu had a teacher in the academy. And that teacher was a Mountainsea elder. Was that Lan Tian in disguise? Or was this a secret student of Lan Tian? Well, it didn't really matter.
He could sense that Lan Tian had really attached only a strand of his consciousness on Li Minyu. It was pointless to kill Li Minyu. Doing so would only offend a Sunmoon for no reason. There was no need for him to do so before securing victory.
So what if Lan Tian was the master of the Original Devil Sect? The Xia Family wasn't doing anything. The Knowledge Seeking Realm wasn't doing anything. Even the War Shrine wasn't doing anything. Why should he be the one to do something about it?
It wasn't like he had the strength to do anything. If he was strong enough, he wouldn't mind killing all these people with his blade. That would be the simplest way of dealing with this issue.
Sure enough, every single student who had insisted on following him was here with their own motives. Of course, a few of them were definitely not here with some hidden motives. For example, the sky horse youth. He truly treated this as a scenic tour, believing that he would only be here to temper themselves.
Su Yu couldn't be bothered to worry too much about the two surviving enemy students. He only had the little furball keep an eye on them. He looked at the sky horse youth and said,
"The three of you should stick together and keep a close eye on each other. Be careful lest there are more cultists among you."
The sky horse youth stared at Su Yu. He was still worried, so he remained in his true form. Fuck! This Su Yu was a butcher. Just look at how easily he had killed the other students.
Su Yu coldly said, "Move it. Are you trying to die?"
The three did not dare to say anything. The little antelope, little panther, and little horse thus gathered together. Out of fear, they moved quickly. The Cloudbreach from the black panther race had been killed by the flying wolf elder through a sneak attack earlier. Thus, the black panther youth was trembling with fear, looking helpless and at a loss.
"As for the two of you..." Su Yu looked at Ji Xiaomeng and Li Minyu.
He smiled and said, "Just stay here and don't move. Don't think that you're untouchable just because you're backed by Sunmoons. Regardless of whether it's Lan Tian or Director Ji, this is not the place you can do as you wish. If you're not afraid of death, feel free to go crazy."
The two said nothing. They did as told and stayed where they were.
After scanning the area, Su Yu said, "Water guy, shadow guy, stop delaying. Kill that fellow."
The beasts were all fighting bitterly. The strongest among them was only a seventh-stage Cloudbreach. Meanwhile, their opponent was a ninth-stage Cloudbreach. How could they deal with him so easily?
The five beasts fought together, but the suanni and the mountaindrill bull had been repeatedly sent flying away. Both of them had nearly been beaten to death several times. They were indignant. Sure enough, nothing good awaited them after following Su Yu out.
Just look at the massive battle they were forced to participate in not long after leaving the research center. Even the weakest enemy here was a Cloudbreach.
Fuck! They were better off being locked in a cage.
Everyone was busy fighting. At this point, nobody was bothered to say anything. It was pointless. Their only choice was to kill their opponents. The two Mountainsea beasts of Su Yu had instantly killed two Mountainseas, shifting the balance of battle and evening the odds.
Su Yu was in no rush.
Were there more enemies?
He continued his wait. He wanted to see if more enemies would show up.
Suddenly, Su Yu yelled, "Zhou Pingsheng, you piece of trash. Why are you still hiding? Are you too scared to show your face? I'm only here to kill you. This is surprising, isn't it? So many big fishes have been lured out instead."
Su Yu laughed and said, "Elder Yu, Elder Li, Elder Qiu, and Elder Tang...oh, there's also Elder Zheng from Great Shang. What a show. Five Mountainseas have been gathered here today. I wonder if the five of you can stay alive if even one person manages to escape today.
"You truly are audacious. You have betrayed Great Xia and humanity. Five elders are colluding with the Myriad Race Cult to kill a student. How audacious. The Xia Family has three Mountainseas here. Let's see how you're going to get out of this."
Five Mountainsea elders, three Mountainsea dao protectors, two Cloudbreach dao protectors, and three Mountainsea cultists. This was a much bigger catch than he had expected. He had not expected the two Mountainseas from the Nine Heavens Cultural Research Academy to arrive as well.
A total of eleven Mountainseas had been gathered here. If he could take all these people down, the single character faction would suffer a big loss.
Su Yu continued shouting, "Where are you, Zhou Pingsheng? Come and kill me. Come on, you piece of trash!"
At this moment, sounds of combat rang out further away.
Zhou Pingsheng couldn't be bothered to spare Su Yu any attention. After One-eye was proven to be Su Yu's man, he had received Yu Hong's order to kill all the people brought by One-eye. Thus, he was too busy to provide a response. The rogue cultists gathered by One-eye were also feeling very terrible.
Fuck! That devileye was actually Su Yu's man! In this situation, they couldn't even explain themselves. They could only fight.
Zhou Pingsheng and the others weren't weak. There were at least eight Cloudbreach cultivators among them. They only needed to deal with some Skysoar and Cloudbreach cultivators with the help of the formation they had laid down earlier. Thus, a massacre ensued.
Even further away.
Jin Yuhui had finally appeared. Instead of joining the battle, he was busy laying down a formation around the area while casually killing the stray enemies who were trying to escape. Nobody would be allowed to escape today.
Any escapee would only cause him needless troubles in the future. He was the principal of the Nine Heavens Cultural Research Academy, a pseudo Sunmoon. It didn't matter if the enemy was a Skysoar or a Cloudbreach. He could kill them with a casual slap.
Not far away from him, Zhao Mingyue appeared and stared at him silently.
Jin Yuhui appeared indifferent, but Zhao Mingyue coldly asked, "Are you not afraid that the Xia Family would discover this?"
Jin Yuhui calmly asked, "Why should I be afraid? What have I done? I'm killing the escaping cultists here. Tang Yunhui and Qiu Yunhua have betrayed the academy. I am here to pursue them. What's wrong with that?"
Had he done anything wrong? Nope. He was only doing this to prevent the cultists from escaping.
He looked at Zhao Mingyue and questioned, "Let's talk about you instead. What are you doing? The person you killed earlier was a member of the single character faction. Why did you kill him?"
"Hmph!" Zhao Mingyue snorted coldly and said, "Jin Yuhui, why bother saying all these lies since you're already here?"
"Lies?" Jin Yuhui smiled, "What lie have I told? Zhao Mingyue, what have I done? I am the principal of the Nine Heavens Cultural Research Academy. Should I not pursue the elders who have betrayed the academy?"
"You—"
Zhao Mingyue couldn't win the argument. Thus, she was furious. Jin Yuhui had yet to make a move. He had only been killing the people who were trying to escape. Naturally, nobody would believe that he was only here for the elders of his academy.
But he was a pseudo Sunmoon and a principal of the Nine Heavens Cultural Research Academy. He occupied a high position and was an important individual in Great Xia. Nobody could arrest or kill him without solid proof. Not even Zhu Tiandao would kill him rashly. Otherwise, the War Shrine and Knowledge Seeking Realm wouldn't let this slide.
They could only do something if he was caught doing something against Su Yu. Jin Yuhui smiled and resumed his work on his formation, ignoring Zhao Mingyue. If she dared to attack him, he would not hesitate to kill her.
It didn't matter if her elder brother escalated the issue as he had killed in the act of self-defense.
Chapter 585: Killing Cloudbreach, Sunmoon Descends (2)
Zhao Mingyue was furious. She felt terrible. This damn bastard! She couldn't help but admire Su Yu. He had been able to lure out so many experts, forcing them to make a move against him, giving him the excuse to kill them as he wished.
But that didn't work for Jin Yuhui. This person had arrived openly. Even if you knew his true purpose here, you wouldn't be able to touch him before he did anything. Even if she wanted to fight him, she wasn't his match.
Jin Yuhui smiled and ignored Zhao Mingyue. He wouldn't do anything unless absolutely necessary. And if he had to make a move, he wouldn't spare anyone here. As long as everyone was dead, there would be no proof.
Zhao Mingyue snorted and clenched her teeth as she took out her spear. Since she couldn't do anything here, she would simply kill those she could. But right after she started moving, an expert with a distorted face appeared and attacked her.
Zhao Mingyue countered with her spear, sending the newcomer back. Nevertheless, the exchange had still caused her to cough a mouth of blood. She exclaimed in alarm, "Wang Ming?"
Wang Ming was a member of the Daoseeking Cultural Research Academy. This person had also been involved in the attack on Liu Wenyan, so Zhao Mingyue knew who she was.
Wang Ming did not answer. Nor did she admit who she was. With her sword character, she unleashed a powerful sword attack, showing an even higher level of strength than what she had during her previous appearance. Zhao Mingyue was forced to retreat repeatedly.
With a smile, Jin Yuhui said, "Su Yu is colluding with the beasts to kill the allies of humanity and his fellow students. His crime can't be pardoned. Friends from the Xia Family, are you still protecting Su Yu despite his crime?"
Hu Hao was having a bad time fighting Yu Hong and Elder Zheng. While he was coughing blood, he heard those words and cursed in fury, "Nonsense, Jin Yuhui! The cloud tigers have betrayed--"
"When did they betray humanity?" Jin Yuhui coldly said, "I only saw them killing the expert from the Devil Scorpian Sect. They are heroes who have slain a member of the Myriad Race Cult. However, Su Yu's beasts had turned around to kill them after their contribution. Are you blind?"
"..."
Hu Hao was infuriated. He knew that Jin Yuhui was talking nonsense, but he couldn't muster a retort. The cloud tiger and the others had yet to make a move against Su Yu before they were killed.
Meanwhile, Jin Yuhui had yet to even make any move against any humans. In such a situation, who could touch him? Nobody could do anything to him despite knowing that he was harboring ulterior motives.
"Principal Jin..." Xia Wen said, "Since you're here to capture the traitors of your academy, what are you waiting for? Kill them!"
Wasn't he here to capture his traitors? Do it, then!
Jin Yuhui nonchalantly said, "The situation is too confusing. I need to keep watch against anyone trying to escape. Let's wait."
He was feeling completely relaxed, suppressing everyone with his strength. Meanwhile, Yu Hong and the others were getting more and more excited. Even if Jin Yuhui wasn't doing anything, his presence alone was enough to put a lot of pressure on their opponents.
The victory was already theirs. Jin Yuhui would definitely make a move when required.
A short while later, Zhou Pingsheng and the others were done killing all the rogue cultists. Zhou Pingsheng could no longer be bothered with hiding his identity. He loudly said, "Principal Jin, all the cultists have been killed."
"Your contribution has been recorded. You will receive your rewards after our return." Jin Yuhui said, "Su Yu has incited powerful beasts to kill those from our allied races. The situation is still too confusing. Go and arrest him. We will put him on a trial back at Great Xia. Be sure to not kill him."
He sounded perfectly righteous, claiming that he wasn't here to kill Su Yu. He was only confused because he had personally witnessed Su Yu killing his fellow students. It was only right that he arrested Su Yu after witnessing something like that.
Hearing all that, Su Yu sneered, "What a bunch of clowns. Jin Yuhui, I would have admired your courage if you had the courage to make a move directly. At the very least, that would showcase your dignity as a principal and a pseudo Sunmoon. But the way you're acting now...disgusts me." Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Jin Yuhui was completely indifferent. Su Yu was merely a Mental Tempering Stage student. Someone like that was beneath his notice regardless of how genius that student was. Thus, he did not care about mere words from someone like that. It didn't matter since Su Yu would die soon.
"If Su Yu dares to resist, kill without mercy."
With that order from Jin Yuhui, Zhou Pingsheng did not hesitate. Leading six other Cloudbreach cultivators, Zhou Pingsheng flew toward Su Yu. These were the Cloudbreach cultivators gathered from several different academies.
At this moment, some of the hidden observers finally decided to step forth and help Su Yu. Unaware of that, Su Yu roared, "What a timely arrival! Jin Yuhui, let's see if you can resist making a move after I kill all these useless pieces of trash!"
This was what he wanted to see. The only thing out of his expectations was the fact that Jin Yuhui had refrained from making any moves. This was not what he wanted to see. Jin Yuhui was big enough a fish.
A fish this size was good enough for Su Yu. Jin Yuhui alone was much more important than the likes of Yu Hong.
Further away.
Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Zhu Tiandao blanked out. He understood what Su Yu was trying to say. The kid wanted to deal with this himself?
Was that a joke? The kid was only at the Mental Tempering Stage. Meanwhile, he was facing seven Cloudbreach cultivators, with three of them being seventh-stage Cloudbreach cultivators. And the kid still wanted him to wait?
Was the kid not afraid of getting himself killed?
At this point, everyone apart from Jin Yuhui could be killed without repercussions. For Zhu Tiandao, this was enough. It was time to reel in the fish.
Su Yu did not care about what the others were thinking. He flew right into the sky. Today, he was going to perform an act of slaying Cloudbreach cultivators!
After proving that he could kill even Cloudbreach cultivators, his threat level would increase significantly. Could his enemies still resist making a move against him? The stronger he was, the bigger of a threat he would be.
Who could tolerate him if he proved that he was already strong enough to kill Cloudbreach cultivators? Not even a pseudo Sunmoon would be able to tolerate his existence. In fact, not even Sunmoons would be willing to tolerate him. A super genius like this should be killed immediately.
Su Yu was using himself as the bait. Naturally, he was going this far because he trusted the Zhu Family. If even the Zhu Family was afraid of his enemies, then everything would be over for him. He still wasn't strong enough to handle pseudo Sunmoons.
With his saber in hand, Su Yu's aura grew stronger and stronger. Eventually, it reached a level comparable to a ninth-stage Skysoar. Zhou Pingsheng frowned. So what if the kid was comparable to a ninth-stage Skysoar?
Did the kid think that he could kill them all with just that? The two parties continued closing in on each other.
Right at that moment, Su Yu's aura soared , reaching the level of a Cloudbreach.
"Kill!"
With a roar, he unleashed an attack powerful enough to shake his surroundings. A raging storm was unleashed upon his enemies. First, his saber was raised. Then, lightning currents danced around him. Finally, the saber descended.
"Garbage."
A loud pop sounded.
By the time Su Yu stopped moving, he was already panting heavily. The powerful source qi he was releasing pushed his body to the brink of collapse. His skin split and blood started flowing.
Of the seven Cloudbreach cultivators surrounding Su Yu, one of them had an empty look in his eyes. Suddenly, his body burst apart.
Silence descended.
Even the deaths of the two Cloudbreach cultivators prior to this had not invited such a reaction.
"Killing...a Cloudbreach!"
A Mental Tempering Stage student had killed a Cloudbreach with one slash. No, to be precise, he was utilizing the strength of a Cloudbreach to achieve that feat.
"Ability blood essence!"
Someone exclaimed in alarm after recalling something.
Yu Hong was incomparably shocked. Further away, Jin Yuhui's pupils shrank as he exclaimed, "Cloudbreach ability blood essence!"
Impossible!
Even further away, Zhu Tiandao swallowed and looked at Director Hou before asking, "Have you seen Cloudbreach ability blood essence before?"
"No..."
Director Hou was completely dumbfounded.
Holy shit! If Su Yu brought such a technology to Great Ming, would Great Xia go crazy and attack Great Ming? Su Yu had relied on something like that to kill Cloudbreach cultivators as a Mental Tempering Stage student!
If they could produce perhaps ten thousand drops of such blood essence, wouldn't they be able to create an army of ten thousand Cloudbreach cultivators? That...would be strong enough to kill even Sunmoons!
Holy shit!
Just imagine it. An army capable of killing Sunmoons. That was crazy.
Of course, they could see that such a blood essence placed a lot of burden on its user. Even a ninth-stage Infinite Strength cultivator like Su Yu was barely able to withstand the burden. But Skysoars would definitely have no issue using such a blood essence.
And since a Cloudbreach ability blood essence had appeared, would there be Mountainsea ability blood essence as well? How about Sunmoon ability blood essence? Holy shit!
Director Hou's eyes lit up as he said, "Prefect, you need to recruit this kid. You can even consider marrying your daughter to him!"
Wasn't it said that the multiple character faction had only produced up to Infinite Strength ability blood essence? What was up with that Cloudbreach ability blood essence? If Great Xia found out about that, they would never let Su Yu go.
Something like this was already enough to change the tides of a large war. It could create legends capable of killing Sunmoons at the Skysoar Realm. Of course, they would need a lot of Skysoars and a sufficient supply of blood essence to achieve something like that.
Would ten thousand Skysoars that had been temporarily upgraded to the Cloudbreach Realm be capable of killing a Sunmoon?
Probably.
That was too scary! Everyone knew about the ability blood essence the multiple character faction was researching. But nobody knew that they had reached this level in their research.
Everyone was shocked.
Meanwhile, Su Yu smiled indifferently. Looking at Zhou Pingsheng and the others, he sneered, "You have been underestimating me. Zhou Pingsheng, when I killed Di Feng, I said that I will kill you myself."
After saying that, his body flickered before vanishing into thin air.
Seeing that, Zhou Pingsheng hurriedly shouted, "Gather up!"
They needed to move immediately. Damn it. Just what was going on? Prior to this, Su Yu had already exposed some of his trump cards. But with this new trump card of his, his threat level had been elevated to a brand new level.
As someone with the combat strength of a Cloudbreach, Su Yu was much more terrifying than before. Right after Zhou Pingsheng called for his people to group up, a gust of wind blew through the group. Then, Su Yu reappeared not far away.
Noticing him, a Cloudbreach near him roared and released a character to suppress him. But right at that moment, a little furball appeared and chomped down on that character. The little furball was not a Cloudbreach yet. Otherwise, he would have been able to eat the whole character with one bite. He was still not strong enough to do that.
Nevertheless, he was still able to bite half the character off. Cracks spread all over the remaining half before the character exploded, blasting the little furball away. This character was still too strong to be swallowed. The little furball could only bite it apart.
Chapter 586: Killing Cloudbreach, Sunmoon Descends (3)
The destruction of the character caused the Cloudbreach to be momentarily distracted. At that moment, Su Yu swung his blade and sent a head flying into the air. A second Cloudbreach was killed!
At the same moment, a character appeared behind Su Yu. That was Zhou Pingsheng's character, but he pulled the character back almost immediately with shock after witnessing what happened.
What was that? A character had been bitten apart? As characters were semi incorporeal in form, they would rarely suffer any damage unless one was far outclassed by the opponent. But now, a tiny thing had easily broken a character with a single bite.
A Cloudbreach had been killed by Su Yu in the blink of an eye. The remaining five Cloudbreach cultivators hurriedly grouped up. Meanwhile, Su Yu was looking slightly pale. The little furball hopped back onto his head before vanishing again.
"Cloudbreach cultivators sure are weak." Su Yu smiled. Numerous drops of blood essence appeared in his hand as he said, "Today, let me show you just how shocking the multiple character faction's ability blood essence research is."
He swallowed all the blood essence at once. Instantly, he vanished again.
Jin Yuhui's eyes lit up from afar as he warned, "Behind you!"
Boom!
Zhou Pingsheng unhesitatingly released a character behind him, but something chomped down on his character, torturing him with intense pain.
"Damn it!"
Su Yu reappeared in an incorporeal form. With a grin, he vanished again, leaving his voice ringing in the air, "Principal Jin is such a wise man. I wonder how many racial abilities you know."
Jin Yuhui's eyes shone as he once again detected Su Yu. He found that Su Yu had actually cloned himself.
"Watch out! Clones!" He warned, "The one to the left is the real body!"
A loud pop sounded.
The five Cloudbreach cultivators were unable to see Su Yu, so they were starting to panic. With the warning, the leftmost side individual swung his saber. With a rumble, Su Yu was forced to retreat. At this time, another Su Yu appeared to the right and swung his saber. The attack landed, cutting the arm of a Cloudbreach off.
At this point, none of the Mountainseas were in the mood to keep fighting. All of them were watching Su Yu's battle with stupefaction. He was fighting seven Cloudbreach cultivators alone.
More importantly, Su Yu had way too many tricks up his sleeve. Invisibility, clones, wind transformation, water transformation, blinks, phasing through earth...
In the short time since the battle had started, he had utilized the racial abilities of at least seven different races.
Fuck!
If one encountered an enemy like this on the battlefield while one was alone, there was no surviving that encounter. Was this the true potential of the ability blood essence research? That was too terrifying. Even Jin Yuhui and Zhu Tiandao were greatly shocked.
Zhu Tiandao was asking himself just what manner of treasure he had picked up for his prefecture. Of course, this would only benefit Great Ming if Su Yu was willing to bring this technology to Great Ming and produce ability blood essence for them.
"Sunmoon ability blood essence...If I'm given a hundred drops of Sunmoon ability blood essence, I can probably try to fight an Invincible..."
No, it would be even better if he could get a drop of Invincible ability blood essence. He could get his old man to get some Invincible blood essence over. In exchange, he only wanted a hundred drops of Invincible ability blood essence. That would allow him to kill even Invincibles!
That was too terrifying. From how Su Yu was using the ability blood essence, there seemed to be no limitations on the type of blood essence he could use. This was an act of piling the specialties of the myriad races onto a single individual. Read full story at novel·fiɾe·net
Meanwhile, Zhou Pingsheng and the other Cloudbreach cultivators were feeling terrible. They no longer dared to rashly use their characters, but for cultural researchers like them, that was a very big restriction.
It only took that little furball a single bite to destroy one character. After all, cultural researcher derived most of their strength from their characters. Would cultural researchers still be cultural researchers without characters?
They would simply turn into walking targets. Forced to only activate their characters from within their seas of consciousness, their strength would drop by at least thirty percent. To make matters worse, Su Yu was basically undetectable for them. Without Jin Yuhui's constant warnings, more of them would have died by now.
Jin Yuhui could no longer stay calm. Yu Hong was also losing her patience. She shouted, "Kill him! Principal Jin, kill him yourself!"
They could not allow Su Yu to live. He was already strong enough to kill Cloudbreach cultivators. If he was given more time, and if he was allowed to enter this ruin, wouldn't he be strong enough to kill Mountainseas?
This was too terrifying. They couldn't help but be fearful of this monster. Meanwhile, Su Yu continued flickering everywhere, swinging his saber every now and then.
Again and again, he attacked. While doing all that, he roared with laughter. Was Jin Yuhui not going to make a move? He was the only person missing. This was the biggest fish today. Would Zhu Tiandao be able to eat this fish up for him?
This fish wasn't even a real Sunmoon yet. Zhu Tiandao should be able to deal with him, right?
He had shown his talent, revealed the ability blood essence, showcased his strength to kill Cloudbreach cultivators, and exposed his so-called ruin. If these people allowed him to survive, would they survive when he gained more strength?
Understandably, Yu Hong was going crazy.
With a roar, a character exploded. The explosion blasted Hu Hao's mangled body away. Next, Old Zheng's character exploded as well, blasting Hu Hao's body into pieces. At this time, Hu Hao couldn't help but curse inwardly. Holy shit. Su Yu already warned him about this before.
If he had known that this would happen, he would definitely trust Su Yu's words. This was too miserable.
At that moment, a streak of sword light shot toward Zhou Pingsheng's group. Zhou Pingsheng was just about to intercept the attack when Jin Yuhui warned, "Retreat!"
That was a talisman attack. It wasn't Su Yu's attack! In truth, Su Yu had obtained this talisman from Di Feng. And now, he was using it against single character faction. With the warning, Zhou Pingsheng promptly retreated. As a result, the person beside him was cut into two by Su Yu who had appeared out of nowhere.
Seeing that he had failed to land his attack on Zhou Pingsheng, Su Yu frowned before vanishing again. That damn Jin Yuhui was creating a lot of trouble for him. After all, that was a pseudo Sunmoon. He was able to easily see through Su Yu's attacks. Without Jin Yuhui, Su Yu was confident he would have been able to kill all the Cloudbreach cultivators that were below the seventh stage by now. Instead, he had only been able to kill three Cloudbreach cultivators thus far.
Jin Yuhui said, "Fools! Activate the formation and seal the area!"
The four Cloudbreach cultivators did as told. The area was sealed by the formation they activated. Su Yu was in the midst of retreating when the invisible barrier appeared to block his way. The Cloudbreach cultivators took this chance to attack him, but he promptly vanished before reappearing about a hundred meters away. Despite his pale face, he still grinned at them.
At the same time, Yu Hong and Old Zheng were about to eliminate Hu Hao's sea of willpower after destroying his body. Meanwhile, Xia Wen roared furiously, creating a loud explosion that instantly blasted Tang Yunfei's body apart. The pale Xia Wen then rushed toward Yu Hong and Old Zheng to stop their advance. Further away from them, Hu Hao was rapidly rebuilding his body.
Generally, the destruction of one's body would not kill a Mountainsea. Most Mountainseas had the ability to forcefully rebuild their bodies since their seas of willpower were their main source of strength.
On the other hand, warriors would probably die without their bodies due to a lack of willpower cultivation. This was one of the reasons why cultural researchers were so powerful.
Finally, Hu Hao rebuilt his body. Unfortunately, he was already greatly weakened. Looking at Xia Wen, he said, "It's over for me. My body is ruined."
He was feeling very regretful. He should have trusted Su Yu and brought someone with him.
Fuck!
His body had been destroyed, ruining his physical cultivation. With this setback, it was likely that he would no longer be able to enter the Sunmoon Realm in the future.
"Just cultivate from scratch."
Xia Wen's tone wasn't polite. Why was Hu Hao screaming so miserably? Just cultivate from the Great Strength Realm. Now that something like the Acupoint Fusion Art was available, it wouldn't be too hard. Hu Hao would only require a few decades to fully repair his body. It wasn't a big deal.
Yu Hong and Old Zheng were furious. After paying such a big price, they had still failed to kill Hu Hao. Tang Yunfei was truly useless. He had actually lost his physical body while fighting Xia Wen.
Since Xia Wen was a seventh-stage Mountainsea while Yu Hong and Old Zheng were already heavily injured, they were actually evenly matched.
Right this moment, someone yelled miserably.
A loud pop followed.
Su Yu had disappeared. When he reappeared, he was no longer attacking Zhou Pingsheng's group. Rather, he had attacked the flying wolf elder who was being surrounded by a few other beasts.
The moment Su Yu appeared, the little furball crushed the character of the flying wolf. At the same time, Su Yu's source qi erupted with the might of a Cloudbreach cultivator as he cut the flying wolf into two.
The other beasts took this chance to send even more attacks toward the flying wolf. The shadow phased into the flying wolf's head, the water elemental absorbed all the blood in the flying wolf's body, the suanni clawed at the flying wolf's body, and the mountaindrill bull stomped down with his massive hoof.
In the blink of an eye, the ninth-stage Cloudbreach flying wolf was killed.
While gasping for breath, Su Yu looked at Zhou Pingsheng and smiled, "Now, it's five against four. Five of us against four of you."
How was Zhou Pingsheng liking this?
Su Yu had finally gained the numerical advantage. Sure, the suanni and the mountaindrill bull were weaker, but they were still ninth-stage Skysoars. The two of them could at least deal with one Cloudbreach together, right?
Zhou Pingsheng did not reply, but his face turned unsightly. Su Yu was too difficult to deal with. They were completely incapable of locking him down and landing any attacks on him.
Su Yu had actually grown to such a level. Sure, the ability blood essence had contributed a lot to his strength, but that was still a part of his strength.
The battle raged on.
As a whole, Su Yu's side was actually losing.
Blood Rakshasha alone was already giving the old sky horse and the old mountain antelope a hard time. It was only a matter of time before they were defeated.
Yu Hong herself was very strong as well. Working with Old Zheng, they were able to deal a lot of damage to Xia Wen. The greatly weakened Hu Hao was forced to deal with Tang Yunfei, who had similarly lost his physical body. The two were fighting with only their willpower, and they were evenly matched.
Tang Yunfei was absolutely not a weakling. During his previous battle with Wu Yuehua, she had been forced to retreat due to the poison Wu Yuehua used. One ought to know that even as an eighth-stage Mountainsea, Wu Yuehua had been forced to use poison against him. From this, it was clear how strong Tang Yunfei actually was.
As a seventh-stage character master, he was actually stronger than pillmasters of the same cultivation level. Unfortunately for him, Xia Wen was quite strong as well. After all, someone weak would not be qualified to serve as Xia Huyou's dao protector. That was why he had ultimately lost his physical body during the fight.
Once Blood Rakshasha defeated his two opponents, the balance of the battle would shift. One should also remember that Jin Yuhui was still there. Up until now, he had yet to make a move.
Chapter 587: Killing Cloudbreach, Sunmoon Descends (4)
Further away, Zhao Mingyue was in a bitter battle against Wang Ming. She tried her best, but she was unable to obtain victory. At the center of all this was Su Yu and his ruin. Ability blood essence research, Soul Devouring Art, Acupoint Fusion Art, and foundation cultural art. These were all the trump cards Su Yu had displayed.
Yes, some of them had finally noticed that Su Yu had opened a lot of apertures. They didn't know the exact number, but they were sure that Su Yu had opened more than thirty-six apertures.
Without a strong enough willpower, he wouldn't have been able to hide from his Cloudbreach opponents even with the assistance of ability blood essence. The mere fact that he was capable of hiding from them proved that his willpower was probably comparable to a high-stage Skysoar.
They would no longer be able to sleep well anymore after this if they didn't end a super genius like this here.
"Principal Jin, what are you waiting for?"
Yu Hong yelled yet again. Was Jin Yuhui not aware that they should kill all these people immediately to prevent anything unexpected from happening? Just what was Jin Yuhui waiting for? At this point, did he think that he could still absolve himself of all responsibilities?
Jin Yuhui ignored her. He scanned his surroundings and coldly said, "Friend, you have been observing us for quite a while. I have sensed your presence a few times. I don't know if you're a friend or an enemy, but why don't you come out for a talk?"
He couldn't be bothered to say anything to Yu Hong. She was too stupid to be worth his time. Did she think that he would remain idle if he was sure he could end everything? He had only been staying idle because he did not have the confidence to end this perfectly.
Someone was observing them in secret. And that secret observer was very strong. His instincts as a pseudo Sunmoon were screaming at him that danger was still lurking.
"Principal Jin, it has been a while." A burly man appeared and greeted him with a smile.
"It's you?" Jin Yuhui sighed and said, "Why bother? You left decades ago. Great Zhou is your new home. Why must you involve yourself in an internal conflict of Great Xia?"
The burly man laughed and said, "I have no choice. My junior brother mailed me and threatened to remove my name from my deceased teacher's list of students if I don't come."
He then looked at the distant Su Yu before saying, "What a genius. It is truly pitiful that he's not my junior brother's student. After seeing you, I understand why my junior brother insists on protecting you."
Su Yu blanked out slightly before asking uncertainly, "Are you...Zhao Tianbing?"
"Kid, it's not proper for you to call me by my name, right?"
Su Yu's expression turned awkward. But his awkwardness could not hide his shock. This was the principal of Great Zhou's Forging Academy, also the first student of the fourth principal.
He was an important member of the weaponsmithing faction. He had left for Great Zhou a few decades ago. After decades of hard work and struggle, he finally established himself as one of the important individuals of Great Zhou, becoming the principal of the Forging Academy.
This was a big shot through and through. His status was even higher than Great Xia's Jin Yuhui. Why? Because he was a weaponsmith capable of forging cultural weapons, a big shot of the weaponsmithing faction, and a Sunmoon.
His existence was one of the reasons Zhao Li had been able to act with such arrogance all these years. The legacy of the fourth principal was still standing tall. The fourth principal's line wasn't too powerful in Great Xia, but his senior brother was a very big deal in Great Zhou. And today, such an important individual had appeared.
Su Yu's emotions were complicated. He didn't know what to say. So Teacher Zhao was already aware of his decision long ago. Zhao Tianbing wouldn't have been able to reach this place on time otherwise.
Zhao Tianbing smiled and said, "What a show this is. Great Xia...is truly too messy. Not even Great Zhou is this messy. But who am I to judge? Great Zhou isn't that much better. Sigh. All these troubles have only appeared because of the few fellows who are trying to affirm their dao."
"Look at Great Ming. Look at how peaceful it is here just because they don't have anyone trying to affirm their dao. I reckon Zhu Tiandao won't bat an eye no matter what you guys do here."
He was right. Great Zhou's internal situation wasn't any better off. Fortunately, he was able to do well because of his status as a great weaponsmith. Otherwise, life would have been much harder for him in Great Zhou.
But upon witnessing what was happening in Great Xia, he couldn't help but lament that not even Great Zhou was this chaotic. At the very least, the internal struggles within Great Zhou were not this serious yet. The source of this content ɪs novelFɪre.net
Had all these people gone mad? So many Mountainseas were fighting each other. Even a pseudo Sunmoon like Jin Yuhui was here. One ought to remember that he was the principal of a major academy.
Jin Yuhui's eyes flickered as he said, "You have just reached the Sunmoon Realm not long ago. Are you sure you want to involve yourself in this?"
"I'm already here. Even if I want to leave, would you let me go?"
Zhao Tianbing smiled and asked, "Then again, can you stop me? Character masters are strong, but us weaponsmiths aren't weak either. How about this? I'll take Su Yu with me and leave. You guys are free to fight it out. I won't take part in the fight."
Nobody answered. Su Yu was the reason all this was happening. Was that a joke? Jin Yuhui did not intend to spare anyone here. Letting even one of these people escape could cause a calamity for him in the future.
Up until now, a total of twenty-four experts had arrived. Twenty-three of them were Mountainseas, with one of them being a pseudo Sunmoon and one of them was Zhao Tianbing, a true Sunmoon.
From outside, the Starfall Mountain looked normal due to the formation surrounding it. But it was total chaos inside.
Beasts, Myriad Race Cult, single character faction, Xia Family's dao protectors, Su Yu's dao protectors, Feng Ji who was sent by Chen Yong, Zhao Tianbing who was sent by Zhao Li, and Zhao Mingyue who had arrived herself. The place was practically filled with experts.
The sky horse youth and the other students were completely dumbfounded. The black panther youth couldn't help but lament that the entire black panther race didn't even have this many experts.
A Sunmoon and numerous Mountainseas had appeared. This was a group strong enough to even exterminate a race from the Allheaven Battlefield if they wanted.
Zhao Tianbing looked at Jin Yuhui and said, "Looks like the people here are unwilling to accept my suggestion. In that case, I'll have to make a move. Old Jin, you won't try to stop me, right?"
Jin Yuhui's eyes flickered. After a moment, his aura changed slightly as he said, "Zhao Tianbing, you should think carefully before you do something."
Then, his aura completed its transformation as he sighed, "The multiple character faction...is still very strong."
Boom!
A celestial object that was a combination of a sun and a moon rose into the sky. The sun and the moon spun within his eyes. Jin Yuhui had stepped into the Sunmoon Realm.
He was the principal of the Nine Heavens Cultural Research Academy. He was also one of the earliest individuals to start walking the path of character fusion systems. He was the self-proclaimed founder of the path of character fusion systems. After stealing the research result of the multiple character faction, he had progressed greatly on this path.
Thus, breaking through was not a difficult task for him.
One could say that his character fusion system was basically the weaker version of the multiple character faction's character technique. Forming a system with eight characters, he was able to overcome the limitations of divine and devil characters.
Zhao Tianbing's expression changed.
Fuck!
In this case, he might really not be Jin Yuhui's match. No matter what, he was still a weaponsmith. Meanwhile, Jin Yuhui was a character master who specialized in combat. And unlike Zhao Li, he didn't even know the Soul Expanding Art.
Thus, his endurance was nothing special either. And since he had only reached the Sunmoon Realm a few years ago, he was still an early-stage Sunmoon.
The confrontation between two Sunmoons attracted everyone's attention. This whole battle had escalated to a level where even Sunmoons were involved.
Even Su Yu's face was starting to turn solemn. That damn Jin Yuhui was too sly. He had refused to attack prior to this. Now that he had broken through into the Sunmoon Realm, Zhu Tiandao would be even more reluctant to kill someone like that.
Zhu Tiandao, who was observing the battle further away, was completely speechless. Were these people done? Even two Sunmoons had been dragged into this mess? He had thought that he only needed to deal with a few Mountainseas. But now, things were getting more and more troublesome.
"Prefect, do we make our move now?"
After a short silence, Zhu Tiandao clenched his teeth and said, "Wait. We will wait for a bigger fish. Jin Yuhui won;t be able to kill Zhao Tianbing. But if they can't eliminate Zhao Tianbing and allow the events here to leak, all of them will die. They will definitely ask for help. Let's see who else will come."
He was now waiting for them to seek reinforcements. Would they get one more Sunmoon to come? They would need that much if they wanted to guarantee that they could kill Zhao Tianbing. Generally, when the opposing parties were similar in strength, one would have to rely on numerical superiority to kill the other party.
Thus, it was likely that they could catch another big fish. How exhilarating. Zhu Tiandao rubbed his hands eagerly. He had decided to go wild. Since things had escalated to this level, he might as well let it go all the way.
Chapter 588: Killing Zhou Pingsheng (1)
The two Sunmoons were in a faceoff. However, Su Yu wasn't worried. As long as it wasn't a ninth-stage Sunmoon, he had nothing to fear. Jin Yuhui's breakthrough was of no concern to him.
Instead, he walked up to the stone wall with a sneer. There, he turned around to look at the others and coldly said, "Wait until I come out as a Cloudbreach. None of you will be able to survive."
He was radiating pure arrogance. And he was worthy of his arrogance since he was a Mental Tempering Stage student capable of killing Cloudbreach cultivators. When he became a Cloudbreach, he would naturally be able to kill even stronger opponents.
"Open!"
With a roar, his characters shook and his blood flowed. The iron wall started shaking at an even higher intensity. It looked as though Su Yu was going to slip into the ruin soon. Even his body turned incorporeal, as though he was going to leave this world and enter a different world.
"I'll have to trouble you, Martial Uncle Zhao. Please buy three minutes for me."
Zhao Tianbing laughed heartily and said, "Sure."
Inwardly, he was quite surprised. Was the kid entering the ruin? Would the ruin push the kid into the Cloudbreach or even the Mountainsea Realm? That was very likely. After all, these ruins had produced numerous Invincibles in the past. It wouldn't be surprising for it to produce a Mountainsea now.
Perhaps the kid might even be able to enter the Sunmoon Realm. And the kid would be an extremely terrifying opponent at that realm. If even someone who was Su Yu's ally would think that way, his enemies would naturally be even more fearful of the prospect of a Sunmoon Su Yu.
Jin Yuhui's expression changed as he roared, "Zhou Pingsheng, kill him!"
Garbage! A group of Cloudbreach cultivators had attacked Su Yu, but three of them had been killed. And after that, they were so scared that they no longer dared to approach the kid. Were they going to allow the kid to enter the ruin?
If Su Yu was really allowed to enter, it would be disastrous for them. Su Yu only needed to enter the Mountainsea Realm to turn the entire situation around. If Su Yu was already such a difficult opponent now, how terrifying would he be at the Mountainsea Realm?
Furthermore, they needed to kill everyone here. After all, the Xia Family would definitely not let this slide if they obtained proof of what happened here. He wanted to make a move himself, but Zhao Tianbing was blocking him.
Su Yu was speechless when he saw that. Inwardly, he kept grumbling that Martial Uncle Zhao Tianbing should let Jin Yuhui go. Why stop him? Su Yu was only doing this to force Jin Yuhui to make a move!
If Jin Yuhui wasn't caught attacking him, Old Zhu wouldn't have a good excuse to kill Jin Yuhui! Just let Jin Yuhui through already!
Sunmoons were supposed to be able to sense it when others were thinking about them. But Zhao Tianbing was not sensing what Su Yu was thinking. Perhaps there were too many experts here, resulting in a chaotic flow of energy in the air that rendered the sense ineffective.
Su Yu was feeling extremely helpless. He had asked for three minutes, so things would be awkward if the so-called ruin remained shut after three minutes. After all, there was no ruin here!
After spending some time in front of the stone wall, he had realized that this stone wall was a probably a defensive barrier that had been set up by the master of the Divine Skywing Sect. It wouldn't open so easily, but a Mountainsea would still be able to open it with brute force.
Come on, Martial Uncle Zhao! Let him through! Zhou Pingsheng, come and stop me, you piece of trash!
Regardless of his thoughts, Su Yu continued shouting, "Seniors, please hold on for a bit longer. You can all withdraw after I enter the ruin. Let's see if they can really hunt down every last one of you. I've recorded everything here. As long as I survive, none of these people can escape!"
Hearing that, the experts fought even harder. Three minutes! They only needed to last three minutes before fleeing separately. For now, the two sides were still somewhat evenly matched. But all of them knew that it was only a matter of time before Su Yu's side was defeated.
The old sky horse yelled desperately, "Take my prince with you! Young Friend, please take my prince with you! I'll fight to the death! I won't allow these cultists to go through me before I die!"
The old sky horse was preparing to lay down his life. But he needed to first ensure the safety of his prince.
The old mountain antelope also roared, "Young Friend, please take my princess with you as well! I am willing to fight to the death for Great Xia!"
Su Yu replied, "Alright! Fellow students from the myriad races, please stay close to me. Seniors, if I can survive today, I will repay this favor!"
The sky horse youth had a look of grief on his face. Looking at his elder who was fighting to the death in the sky, he neighed with sorrow. This was terrible. An elder of his race was on the verge of being beaten to the death.
Wasn't this supposed to be a scenic tour? Why did it turn into a bitter battle?
The three myriad race students hurriedly grouped up with Su Yu. Seeing that, Yu Hong screeched, "Zhou Pingsheng, you piece of trash! Go stop Su Yu and those fellows!"
Fools! Didn't they know that they could capture the sky horse and the mountain antelope youths and use them as hostage to threaten their elders?
Su Yu shouted, "Water guy, kill them!"
Since they were refusing to come, he would take the initiative to attack instead. The water elemental and the shadow wasted no time. The water elemental instantly vanished. Out of nowhere, a massive wave appeared in the sky while countless drops of water rained down toward the four Cloudbreach cultivators.
The shadow vanished into the darkness while the mountaindrill bull dove into the ground. Meanwhile, the suanni was left looking around helplessly. He couldn't help but feel that he was useless here.
He was only a ninth-stage Skysoar. And he didn't even have a unique ability. He couldn't find a single opponent he could defeat here. Previously, there were still some Skysoars he could fight, but all those Skysoars were dead by now.
Su Yu ignored what they were doing and returned his focus to the stone wall. The stone wall continued shaking. Atop the mountain peak, one boulder after another started rolling downhill.
Finally, Zhou Pingsheng and the others lost their patience. They couldn't allow Su Yu to enter the ruin.
"Kill!"
Zhou Pingsheng roared madly. At this point, he had no choice but to fight with all his strength. A battle erupted between the Cloudbreach cultivators.
Boom!
Loud explosions erupted as the battle raged on. Before long, the shadow was punched out of hiding by Zhou Pingsheng. The shadow crashed onto the ground, his body showing signs of scattering into nothingness from his injuries.
The water elemental took this chance to engulf a different Cloudbreach, instantly absorbing all the water in the Cloudbreach's body. At this time, the mountaindrill bull shot out of the ground while the suanni produced a bolt of lightning from his head with a roar.
The two were attacking a different Cloudbreach at the same time, but Zhou Pingsheng ignored them. Clenching his teeth, he rushed toward Su Yu. When he was dozens of meters away from Su Yu, he stopped. With a roar, a clone appeared beside him.
He actually had a clone character as well. The clone seemed powerful, and it charged Su Yu unhesitatingly. The little furball moved forward to bite the character forming the clone, but the clone suddenly exploded, releasing a source qi eruption and blasting the little furball far away.
"Hmph!"
Seeing that, Zhou Pingsheng snorted coldly. He could see that the little furball was only dangerous against Divine Characters and willpower. It was still vulnerable to source qi attacks. The little furball might be extremely good at concealment, but it wasn't strong enough to deal with a seventh-stage Cloudbreach like Zhou Pingsheng.
"Die!"
A talisman appeared in Zhou Pingsheng's hand. That was an extremely powerful talisman. Capturing Su Yu alive? He didn't care about that. It wasn't like he was going to be given a share of the ruin. He was only here to kill Su Yu.
Thus, he attacked without care. It would be even better if he could kill Su Yu. The talisman activated, releasing the aura of a Mountainsea. It was a Mountainsea talisman!
Zhou Pingsheng's face turned pale from the exertion. He had nearly emptied his willpower to activate the talisman. A small sword took form and shot toward Su Yu.
Su Yu was alarmed. The sword was too powerful. This was the attack of a Mountainsea!
Fuck!
Zhou Pingsheng was too much of a coward. He had actually brought a Mountainsea talisman to deal with a student. Su Yu hurriedly transformed into a gust of wind, but the sword continued shooting toward his sea of willpower.
Seeing that, Zhou Pingsheng sneered. Regardless of how strong this kid was, could he withstand the might of a Mountainsea?
As for the two Cloudbreach cultivators who were being attacked by the suanni and the others, he couldn't be bothered about them. He didn't care if they were killed. He only cared about killing Su Yu.
Faced with the incoming sword, Su Yu transformed into numerous forms. Clones, invisibility, earth diving, wind transformation...
None of his tricks worked. The sword was locked onto his sea of willpower. He was forced to abandon the stone wall to escape the sword, but it didn't look like he would succeed. He might have a lot of tricks up his sleeve, but none seemed capable of breaking free from the sword.
***
Zhu Tiandao was losing his patience. It was time for him to make a move. Su Yu wouldn't be able to last much longer. Just as he was about to make a move, he blanked out and stopped.
At the same time.
Su Yu clenched his teeth as he looked at the incoming sword. This was a Mountainsea willpower attack, capable of harming one's sea of willpower. A talisman like this was much more valuable than a talisman with a source qi attack.
Without ten or twenty thousand merit points, one wouldn't be able to purchase a talisman like this.
"Do you think you can stop me with something like this?" Su Yu roared, "Dream on!"
Then, all 108 of his apertures lit up. Then, he started linking those apertures together. The apertures opened by three different arts started coming together. Prior to this, he had not linked the three arts together.
Thus, his apertures had been maintaining three different circulation systems within his sea of willpower. Up in the sky, 108 dots of light appeared. Instantly, they came together, forming a brand new cycle.
"Hahaha, it works!"
Su Yu was overjoyed.
Teacher Zhao's deduction was correct. These arts could be merged. Instantly, an even stronger burst of willpower erupted from the 108 apertures.
With a furious roar, he drew his saber. At the same time, eight characters came together to form another saber within his sea of willpower. He had split his character technique into a smaller version.
With the newly joined apertures and eight second-tier characters, his character technique reached a new level of strength.
Su Yu proceeded to swallow a drop of Cloudbreach blood essence. His source qi immediately surged. With his physical body at the Cloudbreach Realm, 108 joined apertures, and his character tecnique, Su Yu's strength reached a brand new level.
His little hammer vanished into the void. Then, Su Yu swung his saber at the little sword. Zhou Pingsheng was alarmed to see that, but he soon sneered. This was a talisman he had purchased from an eighth-stage Mountainsea. It couldn't be defeated so easily, even if the original attack had been weakened after being sealed in a talisman. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novｅlfire.net
But this was a willpower attack, not a source qi attack. It was more than enough to kill Su Yu. After all, it was capable of killing even ninth-stage Cloudbreach cultivators. But his expression soon turned into that of shock.
Chapter 589: Killing Zhou Pingsheng (2)
Suddenly, Su Yu vanished. But that wasn't the issue. The main issue was that even after Su Yu had vanished, the sword continued on its original trajectory. A different individual was standing on Su Yu's previous spot.
It was Li Minyu! Her expression changed when she noticed what was happening. Damn that Su Yu! That bastard was actually capable of instantly switching spots with someone else! Just a moment ago, she was still happily enjoying the show. Suddenly, she had appeared in front of the sword.
And the sword had even changed its target to her. Initially, the sword was locked onto Su Yu. But he had used an unknown method to break free, causing the sword to lock onto Li Minyu's sea of willpower instead.
Zhou Pingsheng was greatly alarmed to see that. Why was that happening? Right at that moment, his heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly retreated. He had barely moved when a saber appeared before him.
Spluuurt!
A leg was sent flying. With a sneer, Su Yu swung his saber yet again.
"Do you think you've won? A piece of trash will forever remain a piece of trash."
Ignoring what was happening with Li Minyu, Su Yu continued advancing on Zhou Pingsheng. Meanwhile, the look of fear in Li Minyu's eyes transformed into one of indifference. With a slight frown, she gazed at Su Yu.
Then, she looked at the sword before her again and shook her head helplessly. What a crafty kid. And what a ruthless kid.
Lan Tian, who had taken control over Li Minyu's body with his strand of consciousness, even wondered if Su Yu would use the girl from the Ji Family to block the sword if Li Minyu wasn't here. That was very likely to happen.
That kid looked kind, but he was actually vicious and merciless. Since he didn't know for sure if Ji Xiaomeng was a friend or an enemy, he wouldn't care about her well-being. A powerful aura erupted from Li Minyu's body. It only lasted for a split second, but that was enough to cause Lan Tian's strand of consciousness to fade away.
Boom!
A loud explosion erupted. Li Minyu was sent flying away while coughing blood. As for the little sword, it had broken apart.
"Cough..."
While coughing blood, Li Minyu regained consciousness. Her face was unsightly. Her teacher's strand of consciousness had been destroyed!
"Su Yu!"
She clenched her teeth in anger. Su Yu was too ruthless! She had never shown him any malice, yet he had used her as a shield unhesitatingly.
Crouching beside her was Ji Xiaomeng, who was poking her with a random branch while asking, "Are you dead? Will your teacher show up again?"
How pitiful.
The little explosion earlier had created multiple holes on her chest. Could she recover from these wounds? Would these wounds leave any scars on her chest? How pitiful. Su Yu was such a savage! She stole a glance at Su Yu and mumbled that he was too fierce.
Meanwhile, Li Minyu was busy coughing blood. She was greatly troubled. Her teacher's stand of consciousness has been broken. What should she do now?
That thought had barely crossed her mind when Ji Xiaomeng took out a bundle of rope and started tying her up. With a cheerful smile, Ji Xiaomeng said, "My dad said that if we can catch your master, we can claim a reward of one million merit points. Even if we only manage to capture you, we'll get a reward of one thousand merit points. I was wondering how I was supposed to capture you before this..."
Before long, the rope was tied all around Li Minyu. She tried to struggle free, but she found that the rope around her was surprisingly tough. She had no way of breaking free.
"Ji Xiaomeng, your father is not my teacher's match. Since my teacher isn't active in Great Xia, why provoke us for no reason?"
Ji Xiaomeng said, "I'm not provoking you. I'm only capturing you since you're already right in front of me. Su Yu and Teacher Zhou are the ones who have done this to you. Why don't you pay me one thousand merit points? I can let you go for the money."
"..."
Li Minyu snorted and decided to ignore Ji Xiaomeng.
"Wait, even the merit points on you should be mine now!"
Ji Xiaomeng then searched Li Minyu's body before fishing a merit card out.
She was about to swipe the money in the card for herself when Su Yu, who had just severed an arm of Zhou Pingsheng, said, "Ji Xiaomeng, don't lay your hands on something that is not yours. That's my spoils of war."
"..."
Ji Xiaomeng stiffened somewhat. She pitifully said, "Her teacher is very strong. It's not worth offending her teacher for money..."
"It's still mine. If you steal from me, I'll make sure that not even your money will be yours anymore."
"..."
Ji Xiaomeng pouted angrily before throwing the card onto the ground. Seeing that Su Yu wasn't looking at her, she kicked the card further away. Perhaps he would forget about the card later. She would then be able to take it for herself. That shouldn't be considered taking from him, right?
Li Minyu felt terrible. How could she fall into the hands of a silly girl like this? This was too embarrassing!
Su Yu ignored Ji Xiaomeng's antics. Well done, Lan Tian. Without Lan Tian, he would need to deal with that sword himself. He was right to keep these people around. These people were quite useful. If something like that happened again, it would be Ji Xiaomeng's turn to be his shield.
Zhou Pingsheng had greatly exhausted himself activating the Mountainsea talisman. Combined with the hammer strike on his sea of willpower and the loss of his limbs, his combat strength had dropped significantly.
Meanwhile, Su Yu was still at the peak of his strength, possessing the combat prowess of a Cloudbreach. In the blink of an eye, Zhou Pingsheng was reduced to a sorry state.
Desperate, Zhou Pingsheng howled madly, "Kill him! Kill him! Something is wrong about his character technique and his apertures!"
This did not make any sense! A character technique with 8 characters and 108 linked apertures? This did not make any sense!
Meanwhile, Jin Yuhui muttered to himself, "This isn't right. A character technique with eight characters..no..this is...disassembly! The disassembly method! Bai Feng!"
He suddenly recalled what Bai Feng had done. His expression changed drastically at that realization.
"The character technique has actually been disassembled!"
With a look of madness in his eyes, he howled, "Su Yu, since you can disassemble your character technique, can you assemble it as well?"
He knew the difficulty of fusing multiple characters as he also walked the path of character fusion.
Su Yu sneered, "Why don't you take a guess?"
Jin Yuhui howled, "That is definitely possible! Is it Bai Feng or is it you? Or is it Hong Tan? No, it can't be. It's either you or Bai Feng!"
Some of the people there were still confused, but Jin Yuhui had realized what was happening. Shortly after, Yu Hong's expression changed drastically as realization hit her as well. One after another, the expressions of the single character faction experts changed.
Even Xia Wen was howling madly, "Su Yu, are you capable of disassembling your character technique? What will happen next? Is it possible to reassemble the technique? Can you add more characters into the technique after taking it apart?"
This discovery could change the path of all cultural researchers.
Su Yu laughed wildly, "Of course I can."
Xia Wen howled, "Second Brother, fight with everything you have! We need to protect Su Yu and bring news of this back!"
They must protect Su Yu! This was a discovery that could change everything. It would enable countless cultural researchers who were not multiple character cultivators to grow greatly in strength. It could even be the key to breaking through the barrier between the Mountainsea and the Sunmoon Realms.
This was something that might grant humanity dozens of new Sunmoons. This might increase the strength of human cultural researchers by at least fifty percent. This was even more important than a so-called ruin. It was even more important than Su Yu himself.
Was Bai Feng capable of the same? Probably.
But Bai Feng was already at the Allheaven Battlefield. They didn't even know if he was still alive. Meanwhile, Su Yu was still alive. He was right in front of their eyes. Apart from Su Yu and Bai Feng, did anyone else know how to do this? Xia Wen was unsure. He could only use all his strength to protect Su Yu and ensure that this new knowledge would not be lost.
Xia Wen, Xia Wu, and Hu Hao started fighting madly. Hu Hao had already been suspicious of Su Yu's strength. Now that he had finally witnessed Su Yu's character technique, he was alarmed. His suspicions had been correct.
Xia Wen howled, "Sky Horse and Mountain Antelope, protect Su Yu at even if you have to die doing so. Escort him out of here at all costs. Great Xia will not forget this!"
He was making a promise on behalf of the Xia Family. The situation permitted it. At this point, the old sky horse's wings had already been broken while the old mountain antelope had lost his antlers. Even so, they still rose and fought bitterly.
Even Blood Rakshasha was looking at Su Yu with hesitation. He had to capture Su Yu. This kid couldn't be killed. The 108 apertures and disassembled character technique of Su Yu could no longer be hidden from these experts.
Boom!
Finally, Jin Yuhui was attacking without holding anything back. He must capture Su Yu. As a Sunmoon, he knew more than the others. At the Sunmoon Realm, he was capable of fusing eight characters into a system.
Something was telling him that the character techniques of the multiple character faction might be the key to reaching the Invincible as a cultural researcher. Unfortunately, he did not have a character technique. And his cultivation was already too high to start forming one.
Thus, he was even more desperate than the others. He roared, "Su Yu, is it now possible for those at the Skysoar Realm and above to form character techniques? Answer me!"
With this, even those who were still clueless finally understood everything. Even One-eye and the other beasts were alarmed. Turning everyone into multiple character faction cultivators? Was that a joke?
The multiple character faction was filled with butchers. But due to the difficulty of their cultivation, there weren't a lot of them. Thus, the myriad races could still tolerate them somewhat. But what if everyone could follow the teachings of the multiple character faction?
What if even those at the Skysoar Realm and beyond could form character techniques?
Holy shit!
This would shake even the Myriad Realms!
***
Zhu Tiandao wiped his sweat and muttered, "Holy shit. 108 apertures, foundation cultural art, ability blood essence, and the disassembly of character techniques, allowing people at the Skysoar Realm and beyond to form character techniques...Old Hou, we need to silence everyone here. I don't think this is something I can handle."
Any one of Su Yu's trump cards was enough to shake the world.
Zhu Tiandao wondered if he was getting extremely lucky or if he was actually getting unlucky. If words of this spread, things would get very troublesome. Even his old man might have trouble withstanding the resulting pressure.
The biggest issue was the disassembly method. Was it really possible for one to form a character technique even after reaching the Skysoar Realm? If that was possible, all cultural researchers would go wild.
These people had not opted to cultivate character techniques because it was too difficult, not because they didn't want to. Even a talented genius like Wu Jia had only formed nine characters so far. One should not forget that she was a high-high student who Chen Yong had personally taught like a daughter.
The multiple character faction's path was simply too difficult. Only a super genius could successfully form a character technique. How many super freaks would Great Xia produce each year?
That was not a path anyone could walk. But it was a path everyone wanted to walk.
Did the people in the single character faction really want to become the members of the single character faction? They were simply left with no choice since they weren't talented enough to join the multiple character faction. They blamed the multiple character faction for wasting resources, but they were simply jealous.
Who wouldn't want to be unrivaled within the same cultivation level? When they were members of the single character faction, they would naturally blame the multiple character faction for wasting resources. But if they could actually become a part of the multiple character faction, they would be more than willing to do so.
The prospect of strength was too alluring. Zhu Tiandao was starting to sweat in panic.

Just how big of a genius had he recruited this time? Wait, did Bai Feng know this as well? That...was a genious of Great Ming! Since his student was going to join Great Ming, was Bai Feng not returning to Great Ming? He was born in Great Ming!
In his excitement, Zhu Tiandao said, "Time to end this! Kill them all! Old Hou, kill, no, get some people over and seal the entire Starfall Mountain. Kill them all—wait, scratch that. Some of the Great Xia fellows can be spared. Xia Longwu should know how to deal with them."
There was no longer any need to keep fishing. What were a few more Sunmoons compared to Su Yu? He had to prioritize getting Su Yu into Great Ming!
But Director Hou suddenly said, "Wait a bit more."
Zhu Tiandao stopped moving as he had also sensed what Director Hou had sensed. The look in his eyes changed as he cursed, "Fuck!"
Chapter 590: Killing Zhou Pingsheng (3)
Su Yu was completely indifferent to the shock everyone was feeling. He continued his attacks, swinging his saber again and again. At the same time, he used the third move of the Time technique repeatedly, sending kick after kick out.
Zhou Pingsheng constantly unleashed his willpower and source qi to deal with the barrage of attacks. But every time he used his willpower, the little furball would give his willpower a bite, subjecting him to intense pain.
After exhausting himself activating the Mountainsea talisman and losing his limbs to Su Yu, his strength had dropped to the level of a fourth-stage Cloudbreach. Meanwhile, Su Yu was unleashing the combat strength of a second-stage Cloudbreach.
With his powerful techniques and cultivation methods, Zhou Pingsheng was not his match. The little furball had also contributed greatly, greatly restraining Zhou Pingsheng's cultural researcher capabilities.
As a cultural researcher, his willpower was constantly damaged while his Divine Characters couldn't be fully utilized. How was Zhou Pingsheng supposed to be Su Yu's match? The longer they fought, the more disadvantaged he became.
Meanwhile, Su Yu seemed stronger the longer the fight went on. Even though his body was on the verge of falling apart due to the huge burden, he continued fighting ferociously.
"Piece of trash. You have been picking fights with me again and again. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been forced to take this step. I've been waiting to kill you! How dare you scheme against my martial uncle and humiliate my senior sister? You fucking garbage! How dare you send your student after me? Die, asshole!"
A bloodbath ensued.
Splurt!
Yet another attack landed, cutting Zhou Pingsheng into two from his waist. He roared in desperation and forcefully joined the two parts of his body together with a pale expression. At that moment, a massive palm descended upon Su Yu from the sky. It was as though the sky itself was covered by the palm.
"You dare?"
Both Zhao Tianbing and Jin Yuhui roared and attacked the big palm. That was not one of them.
Meanwhile, Blood Rakshasha, the deputy sect master of the Blood Fire Sect exhaled in relief and said, "Greetings, Sect Master!"
That was the new sect master of the Blood Fire Sect. The previous sect master was dead yet Blood Rakshasha remained the deputy sect master. Why? Because there was a new sect master. He had remained even after two Sunmoons appeared because he was waiting for this new sect master. And the new sect master was also the source of his confidence.
A silhouette appeared in the sky. The newcomer had the appearance of a human, but he had a pair of horns on his head. That was a blood fire devil! An actual devil had appeared! And this devil was actually a Sunmoon!
Both Zhao Tianbing and Jin Yuhui were alarmed to see the newcomer. Holy shit! The blood fire devil race had actually sent a Sunmoon into the Human Realm? They must be plotting something big!
"A fifth-stage Sunmoon!"
Zhao Tianbing's expression changed. Five suns and moons could be seen in the newcomer's eyes, revealing his identity as a fifth-stage Sunmoon.
The new sect master hovered in the air and looked at Su Yu with a smile. He said, "The human race is indeed the favored by the heavens. Your talent is terrifying. Character technique disassembly? If this method is perfected, the multiple character faction will recover its former glory."
Zhao Tianbing said, "Jin Yuhui, we need to work together and kill him. He's a devil. Do you want to betray humanity? You can scheme as you wish for your selfish desires, but this is a devil!"
That was an incomparably powerful devil. The divines and devils had always been stronger than the other races. One could only imagine how strong a fifth-stage Sunmoon devil could be. Follow current novels on novel⁂fire.net
"You are too noisy. None of you can survive today."
With a cold snort, the devil threw a punch and easily sent Zhao Tianbing flying away. A second punch followed, burying Jin Yuhui deep into the ground.
"I am willing to embrace you into the Blood Fire Sect, but you need to accept my Devilfire Seal."
Alone, the devil suppressed everyone with his overwhelming strength. Blood Rakshasha was greatly excited to see that. Trump cards? He had the strongest trump card of everyone here!
He had only been waiting for so long because of his sect master. That was a fifth-stage Sunmoon, a super expert from the devil race. Even a regular sixth-stage Sunmoon would not be a match for someone like that.
After dealing with the two human Sunmoons, the devil looked at Su Yu again and asked, "You're Su Yu? Interesting. Even if there's a ruin here, it won't be too powerful. Join the devil race and obtain a devil body. The devil race will help you enter the Sunmoon Realm."
Looking at Zhou Pingsheng, he sneered, "A piece of trash like this won't even be qualified to serve as your toilet seat in the devil race. Join the blood fire devil race. If a piece of trash like this dares to so much as raise his voice in front of you, we'll simply exterminate his race. Who would still dare to disobey you?"
Su Yu looked at the devil and smiled, "That's a lovely offer. What a surprise. The devil race has actually decided to recruit me? You guys are much better than the single character faction."
Jin Yuhui, who had just flown up from the ground, roared in fury, "Su Yu, you are indeed consorting with the devils!"
"..."
Su Yu laughed. He didn't even deign to answer that accusation. He said, "Can you give me some time? I won't need more than a minute to kill this garbage. We can talk after that."
The devil laughed and agreed, "Sure. The devil race welcomes you. It is only fitting that you kill your enemy with your own hands." He roared with laughter. He could afford to wait. This entire place had been sealed anyway.
As for the people present, only those who had decided to submit would be spared. Meanwhile, Su Yu was completely unbothered. Was that devil dreaming? Sure, the devil was a fifth-stage Sunmoon. But there was a ninth-stage Sunmoon waiting nearby. Nevertheless, he still tried his best to not think about that. He couldn't have the devil sensing his thoughts, right?
In truth, Su Yu was quite speechless. Sure, he was waiting for a big fish, but this was not the big fish he had been trying to catch. Had the Blood Fire Sect gone crazy? It seemed like they had a habit of losing their new sect masters. It hadn't even been that long since their previous sect master perished.
At this point, Zhou Pingsheng was on the verge of collapse. All the Cloudbreach cultivators that had arrived with him were dead. Both the water elemental and the shadow were standing to the side with heavy injuries.
A pool of dark blood could be seen beneath the shadow. A pool of water could also be seen beneath the water elemental.
As for the mountaindrill bull and the suanni, both were dyed red with blood. Despite their injuries, they were all trembling with fear.
The suanni had the urge to cry. The world outside was too dangerous. He was starting to miss his cage. Three Sunmoons had appeared. And one of them was a fifth-stage Sunmoon devil.
A gathering like this would rarely happen even on the Allheaven Battlefield. In fact, a battle between Sunmoons would only happen once every three to five years.
Su Yu resumed his rampage, sending the little furball out again. At the same time, his little hammer attacked repeatedly.
Once, twice, thrice...
Everyone watched on in shock as Su Yu attacked with his hammer. What a terrifying technique. What soul technique was that? It was too powerful.
At this moment, Zhao Tianbing finally understood why his junior brother had forced him to help Su Yu. He looked at Su Yu even as blood dripped out of his mouth. This was a genius. A genius who had learned the Soul Expanding Art.
This kid had mastered even the Soul Expanding Art to such an extent. If it wasn't for the Soul Expanding Art, this kid would have probably reached the Skysoar Realm long ago.
"Zhou Pingsheng, remember to be a good man in your next life."
With a snort, Su Yu swung his saber.
Zhou Pingsheng panicked and screeched, "I'm willing to join the Blood Fire Sect! Lord, please save me!"
Su Yu roared, "If you accept him, a feud will form between us."
"..."
In the sky, the devil smiled and indifferently said, "I don't recruit garbage."
"Hahaha!" Su Yu roared with laughter and said, "You are so useless that not even the devils are willing to take you in. Hahahaha!"
He laughed wildly.
Despair covered Zhou Pingsheng's face. He couldn't accept this. There were still a lot of things he wanted to do, and he still had a lot of unfulfilled ambitions. There were still a lot of benefits he could gain and a lot of pleasure for him to enjoy in life.
"You forced me to do this!"
Boom!
His entire body exploded. From the middle of the explosion, a jade bead appeared and instantly shot away.
"Soul Nurturing Bead!"
Someone exclaimed in alarm. Zhou Pingsheng was actually in possession of such a valuable treasure. Just how many benefits had this fellow siphoned from the single character faction all these years?
That Mountainsea talisman alone was worth tens of thousands of merit points. And this bead was worth even more. This was a treasure that could save one's life during a critical moment. With this bead, as long as one had a stand of consciousness remaining, one would be able to survive even if one wasn't at the Mountainsea Realm yet.
This was basically a second life. Meanwhile, the explosion had sent Su Yu flying away while coughing blood. That self-detonation had nearly dealt Su Yu a serious injury. Seeing that the bead was flying toward Jin Yuhui, Su Yu clenched his teeth and swallowed a few drops of blood essence. Then, he roared and swung his saber.
This time, 180 apertures lit up in his sea of willpower. One ought to remember that the cultural arts of the five elemental races were capable of opening 180 apertures. And with the blood essence of these races, Su Yu gained the ability to open all these apertures temporarily. He had merely refrained from doing so normally.
In fact, this was the method he had used to absorb willpower and open his first aperture. His sea of consciousness shook as all 180 apertures formed a large cycle before releasing an incomparably powerful burst of willpower that was comparable to a Cloudbreach's. In other words, Su Yu would be comparable to a Cloudbreach cultural researcher at the Mental Tempering Stage after opening 180 apertures.
"Die!"
The attack descended, blasting the bead apart.
Boom!
At the same time, a miserable wail rang out. An incorporeal figure of Zhou Pingsheng appeared in the air. Looking at Su Yu, he wailed while trying to survive, but he couldn't prevent himself from falling apart.
"Su Yu...even in death, I'll haunt you as a ghost!"
He had been killed by Su Yu. He couldn't accept this.
"He has a divine-grade cultural art in his possession! He can't be allowed to live!"
This was his final attempt to drag Su Yu down with him. A divine-grade cultural art. That alone was enough for some people to ensure that Su Yu did not survive. After all, a divine-grade cultural art was something that couldn't be found even if one searched through the entire Myriad Realms.
After saying his last words, Zhou Pingsheng perished with a loud rumble. At that moment, every gaze in the area was focused on Su Yu. What a crazy kid. Divine-grade cultural art? Was that true?
A cultural art with 144 apertures would receive a classification of top-tier heaven-grade. And above that was the divine grade. Had Su Yu activated more than 144 apertures earlier?
"..."
Silence enveloped the area. Even the devil was staring at Su Yu silently. A divine-grade cultural art. Meanwhile, Su Yu was still completely indifferent. His source qi and willpower started stirring in excitement. It felt too good to finally kill Zhou Pingsheng.
"Old Zhu, it's your turn! My job here is done!"
He had successfully lured so many big fishes here, but he was happy with killing a few Cloudbreach cultivators. He did not intend to take part in the subsequent battle. He had exposed a lot of his trump cards today, but it didn't matter.
Since he had already exposed so many of his secrets prior to this, why would he care about exposing more? This was what he wanted. He wanted to join Great Ming with boundless potential and unstoppable momentum. He wanted Great Xia to regret letting him go.
Of course, if Great Ming started coveting his secrets, he would naturally hand them over before finding a chance to escape Great Ming. The world was big enough that he was sure he could find a place where he could survive at.
Even if he couldn't find such a place in the Human Realm, he could simply enter the Allheaven Battlefield and seek survival in the Myriad Realms instead. Zhou Pingsheng was dead, and Su Yu was finally satisfied.
However, everyone else had stopped. Even the Mountainseas had stopped fighting. All of them were looking at Su Yu with shock. Was this really a student? Was this not an old Invincible in disguise?
