Chapter 583: The Fall of Mountainseas (2)
Meanwhile, Su Yu worked rapidly on opening the so-called ruin. Naturally, the stone wall was only shaking because Su Yu was shaking the wall with his willpower. How was he supposed to know the way to open this wall? The others were the clueless ones here.
Were there more enemies? He was still waiting. How many enemies had revealed themselves so far? After a short calculation, he noted that only three individuals from the single character faction had arrived: Yu Hong, Elder Li, and the visitor from Great Shang. The person fighting the black panther elder was most likely Elder Li.
Were there more? There were definitely more! He wanted to lure them all out and deal with them all at once. After all, the two guards sent by Xia Huyou had yet to make a move. While Su Yu was thinking about all that, the air shook as a new battle broke out further away from them.
"Is this Xia Wen and Xia Wu?"
Xia Wen and Xia Wu were the two guards sent by Xia Huyou. The elder among the two, Xia Wen, yelled in fury, "Damn it! It's you guys!"
Xia Wu also roared, "Are you crazy? This is suicide! Is the Nine Heavens Cultural Research Academy trying to get wiped out? Tang Yunfei, Qiu Yunhua, how dare you attack us?"
Ahh, those were some familiar names. Su Yu couldn't help but smile upon hearing those names.
Back then, a decent number of people from the Nine Heavens Cultural Research Academy had participated in the attack against Liu Wenyan. Tang Yunfei and Qiu Yunhua were present as well. Tang Yunfei's senior brother used to be a close friend of the fifth principal. Meanwhile, Tang Yunfei himself had tried to kill Liu Wenyan just to get a look at the fifth principal's character.
As for Jin Yuhui, he was the principal of the Nine Heavens Cultural Research Academy and one of the leading figures in Great Xia's single character faction. He was no weaker than Zhou Mingren.
Unsurprisingly, these two had arrived as well.
Nine Heavens Cultural Research Academy...
Su Yu sneered inwardly. Just look at how many Mountainseas were here. One would think that Mountainseas were not rare at all. In the blink of an eye, four additional Mountainseas had appeared.
Fortunately, the two guards from the Xia Family had arrived as well. Otherwise, the two newcomers would have easily end the battle in their favor prematurely. Meanwhile, the old sky horse and the others were alarmed. These were academy experts!
Damn it!
Had the single character faction gone mad? So many academy experts had arrived here. No wonder they felt like something wasn't right. There were too many cultural researchers among these attackers. The cult was comprised mostly of warriors as cultural researchers required a much stricter system of inheritance.
The cultural researchers of Great Xia were clearly participating in this battle.
"This is madness..."
The old sky horse yelled in desperation. At this time, the two Cloudbreach dao protectors facing Elder Li were already covered with injuries. They were clearly on the verge of defeat.
Suddenly, a streak of sword light appeared. The ice mountain floating in the sky was instantly cut apart. Then, a new figure appeared in the air.
When Elder Li saw the newcomer, he exclaimed in alarm, "It's you!"
As the sword light faded, the newcomer looked at Su Yu and sighed, "Kid, you are too brazen."
Su Yu was quite surprised to see this newcomer as he had no idea who this person was. Elder Li was on the verge of victory and Su Yu was already preparing to flee. He was going to ask for Zhu Tiandao’s help the moment the two Cloudbreach dao protectors were defeated. Who would have guessed that yet another expert would arrive?
Who was that?
Su Yu might not know who this person was, but that wasn't the case for everyone else. Elder Li exclaimed in shock, "Feng Ji, is that you?"
Feng Ji? That was not a name Su Yu had heard before. This was the very first time he saw this middle-aged man. The middle-aged man had not bothered to hide his appearance.
With a smile, Feng Ji said, "Greetings, Elder Li. Your Snowfrost Domain is known to all. Why bother hiding your face?"
"You—"
Elder Li asked in bewilderment, "You're not dead?"
"I was lucky enough to survive." Feng Ji smiled and said, "I was nearly dead while exploring the Luminous Domain Mansion. But Elder Li, looks like you're still alive as well. Back then, I was naive enough to believe that the struggle between the single and multiple character factions is only an internal competition. Surprisingly, your people were daring enough to stab your allies in the back while inside the Luminous Domain Mansion. The single character faction should have been exterminated long ago."
Right after saying that, another streak of sword light shot out.
Boom!
Little by little, the Snowfrost Domain was cut apart. Elder Li was finally starting to get nervous. This Feng Ji was a fourth-stage Mountainsea. And he found himself actually not Feng Ji's match.
Su Yu had an odd look in his eyes. This newcomer was not someone from the multiple character faction. Who sent this person here? Was it his martial uncle? That was very likely. In that case, he would wait a little bit longer before asking for Zhu Tiandao's help. After all, some people had yet to expose themselves. For example, the cloud tiger elder and the others.
At that thought, Su Yu looked in the direction of the ongoing battles. Bloodmoon was facing the cloud tiger elder while One-eye was facing the fox elder. Su Yu remained calm. Since he would remain unharmed for now, he continued what he was doing. He really wanted to see just how many people would show themselves today.
At that moment, Bloodmoon suddenly sent a voice transmission to his opponent, "Fool! Why are you using your full strength? Do you really want to fight me to the death?"
The cloud tiger elder's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this a cultist?
"Garbage! Try to act better!" Bloodmoon said, "Both One-eye and I are planted in the cult by the single character faction. We are confident in victory. Not one of them will be able to escape today, including the cultists. Don't let those people notice that we are working together. Find a chance to slowly move toward those from the Celestial Dragon Sect and the Devil Scorpion Sect with One-eye and that old fox. We'll use this chance to kill them."
The cloud tiger elder was shocked. He hurriedly looked at the old fox. The old fox was also looking at him. Both of them looked at each other in shock. The single character faction had actually planted some Mountainseas in the cult? No wonder they could control the cult experts so easily.
At this time, Bloodmoon berated, "Garbage! Are you sure you're a Mountainsea? Calm down! Do you want to die?"
The cloud tiger elder forced himself to calm down and asked, "Are we going to kill them now?"
"Of course not." Bloodmoon said, "Just wait for the order from Elder Yu. When the order comes, we'll pretend to attack others before turning on those two."
The cloud tiger elder instantly understood the plan. Meanwhile, Yu Hong was getting more and more impatient. Damn it! Why had so many Mountainseas arrived? This was troublesome. The Xia Family had actually sent three Mountainseas over. That thought terrified her. She even started wondering if the Xia Family was already aware of their plan.
"Gulu khaki!"
Yu Hong suddenly shouted. That was their code, spoken in the language of a rarely seen race.
The cloud tiger elder and the others instantly understood what she was saying. It was time to kill the others.
At the same time, Bloodmoon and One-eye received her voice transmission, "Let go of your opponents. Those are our allies. Kill the sky horse and the mountain antelope. Deal with that mountain giant as well. Don't waste any time!"
Those three were the only ones not allied with them. With those three dead, they would be able to instantly free seven or eight Mountainseas on their side to deal with the other enemies.
She had decided to quit the act. At this point, they should prioritize ending the battle as soon as possible. Hearing the code word, the cloud tiger elder was relieved. So Bloodmoon was indeed someone from their side.
Bloodmoon wasted no time and grouped up with One-eye. The cloud tiger also grouped up with the old fox. After exchanging gazes, all four of them charged in Great Mountain's direction.
At this time, Great Mountain was busy dealing with Hong Chen of the Devil Scorpion Sect. Meanwhile, the barbaric bull elder was dealing with Yun Fei of the Celestial Dragon Sect.
Hong Chen was greatly shocked to see so many experts flying over together. The single character faction had actually recruited these dao protectors as well? Incredible. Great Mountain was dead for sure.
He had been suffering greatly from his battle with Great Mountain. Seeing that help had arrived, he exhaled in relief. He was somewhat concerned about the strength the single character faction was showing, but it wasn't like they hadn't taken any precautions against betrayals.
For now, they needed to focus on dealing with these Great Xia experts. At this time, the four Mountainseas arrived and attacked Great Mountain together.
"Hong Chen, come here," shouted Bloodmoon. Hearing that, Hong Chen rushed over to join hands with them. While he was rushing over, Bloodmoon sent a voice transmission to the other Mountainseas, "When he arrives, kill him first before killing Great Mountain."
The cloud tiger and fox elders did not have the time to think too much. Since these two were already aware of the plan in advance, it was clear they were the important chess pieces of the single character faction. Thus, they did not question the order even if they thought that it was still not the time to kill Hong Chen.
At the same time, Su Yu made his move. The moment the cloud tiger elder and the others stopped fighting each other, he charged Xia Qing. At the same instant, the heavily injured flying wolf released his character and stabbed through the black panther elder's chest.
Without even sparing the black panther a second look, the flying wolf charged Su Yu The expressions of Xia Qing and company changed abruptly. Were they exposed already?
Damn it!
The flying wolf had been working with them all along. When they were making the plan, they were worried that Su Yu would get suspicious if there were too many of them. Thus, they had the flying wolf youth acting as a random participant alongside the sky horse youth and the others.
When they saw that the time to fight had arrived, their eyes turned cold. They might not be Su Yu's match, but they could still deal with some other people. For example, they could capture the sky horse and mountain antelope students and turn them into hostages. The flying wolf elder could deal with Su Yu instead.
The sky horse youth had yet to recover from his shock when Su Yu yelled at him, "Fool! They are all traitors! What are you standing there for? Run!"
The sky horse youth didn't know who to believe anymore. With a roar, he returned to his true form before galloping away. This was too dangerous. Xia Qing and the others also returned to their true forms before giving chase.
At the same time, the shadow and water elemental sallied forth toward the flying wolf elder. A clump of fog appeared out of nowhere and covered the flying wolf elder. At the same time, the shadow on the ground rose to meet the flying wolf elder.
A battle erupted between the three Cloudbreach cultivators.
Su Yu's killing intent fully erupted. No longer looking at his so-called ruin, he said, "I was already aware of your evil intentions long ago. Xia Qing, time for you to die."
Before he could even make a move, a screech rang out in the air.
Boom!
A massive explosion erupted. Hong Chen's body was instantly blasted apart. He had not expected the four Mountainseas to suddenly attack him. Yu Hong and the others were stunned momentarily. Fools! They were told to kill Great Mountain, not Hong Chen! Sure, they would need to deal with Hong Chen later, but it was still too early for that! Had those people gone crazy? What was the point of attacking their allies now?
That thought had barely crossed Yu Hong's mind when she thought of something else. Her expression changed drastically as she yelled in panic, forgetting to even disguise her voice, "Watch out for Bloo—"
She wanted to tell them to watch out for Bloodmoon and One-eye. Something was wrong with the two of them. Why would they attack Hong Chen this early? Before she could finish her words, Bloodmoon and One-eye joined hands with the injured Great Mountain to attack the cloud tiger elder.
Since the cloud tiger elder was hovering right beside them, they did not bother attacking the old fox. Instantly, a blood moon rose while a clump of flame blazed in the sky. The cloud tiger elder's expression changed drastically. With a roar, he started fleeing.
Alas, it was too late. He had not been paying much attention to the two as he had viewed them as allies. At the same time, Great Mountain's axe descended upon him. The cloud tiger elder was only a third-stage Mountainsea. How could he be a match to the three of them?
Boom!
First, a beam of light pierced through his head.
Whoosh!
Next, the axe severed the head from its body. As the headless corpse dropped from the sky, the three Mountainseas switched targets to the old fox. Two Mountainseas had perished in the blink of an eye. Both Hong Chen and the cloud tiger elder had been instantly killed.
At this time, Bloodmoon yelled, "Yunfei, the single character faction is trying to kill us all. Stop that barbaric bull!"
At this point, Yun Fei was already greatly frightened. Regardless of what was said, he ignored the barbaric bull and started fleeing. This was too complicated. Wasn't Great Mountain supposed to be Su Yu's dao protector?
And what was up with Bloodmoon and One-eye? He was also greatly shocked after seeing the cloud tiger and fox elders killing Hong Chen. None of these people could be trusted! Damn it!
Meanwhile, Blood Rakshasha questioned furiously, "Yu Hong, what are you trying to do? Do you want to kill us all?"
He was also getting furious. Why was the single character faction turning on them before even dealing with Su Yu?
At this point, Yu Hong could no longer be bothered with disguise. Speaking in her original voice, she yelled, "Idiot! They are all Su Yu's people! They're trying to sow chaos among us!"
She finally understood what was happening. Both Bloodmoon and One-eye were actually on Su Yu's side. Damn it! The other experts were also greatly confused by everything that had happened.
At this moment, the fox elder was in great danger as well. Fortunately for him, the barbaric bull elder rushed over to assist him. Blood Rakshasha furiously yelled, "Yun Fei, stop running. Come back and help them!"
The two of them were faced with three enemies. If Yun Fei returned, they would be able to even the odds. He believed what Yu Hong said as it was now clear that these two bastards were agents of Su Yu. Damn it! They had lost two Mountainseas to this ruse!
Yun Fei's expression changed repeatedly as he hesitated. Ultimately, he clenched his teeth and turned back. But he no longer dared to approach the combatants. Instead, he attacked from range. At this point, if he fled alone, he would turn into everyone's target as well. Thus, this was his best option.
Sure, they had arranged a formation around this place, but he didn't dare to trust any of these people anymore. He would keep fighting for now, but these bastards were truly unreliable. Hong Chen had died a miserable death.
At this time, Su Yu looked at Xia Qing and smiled, "Xia Qing, looks like this isn't going to be profitable for you, after all."
Xia Qing had an ashen expression.
Dead! The elder of her race was dead! Damn it!
"Su Yu...everything has been a lie!"
She was furious. Su Yu had been plotting against them before even leaving the academy!
The sky horse youth stopped running and looked at them in stupefaction. Holy shit! The Human Realm was too dangerous! Mountainseas were dying left and right. More importantly, he didn't even know who to trust anymore. He was completely dumbstruck.
So who among them were friends? And who among them were enemies?
Xia Qing did not dare to fight Su Yu. Instead, she yelled, "Capture them! Stop wasting time!"
The sky horse youth and the others would serve as their insurance. After taking the sky horse and mountain antelope students hostage, their elders would no longer dare to do anything rash. This would be their chance to snatch victory.
"As weaklings, you should stop dreaming."
With a smile, Su Yu's body flickered before he sliced Zhan Fei into two with a casual slash of his saber.
"You don't even have a dao protector anymore. Why are you still trying to create trouble?"
Xia Qing screeched in alarm, "How dare you kill your fellow student? Su Yu, have you gone crazy? You are betraying the human race!"
"Fellow student?" Su Yu laughed, "Your words don't count. I'll give you a chance, Xia Qing. Kill Bai Ce and the others and I'll allow you to live."
"You—"
Before she could finish her words, Su Yu swung his blade at her. Right at that moment, a figure stepped forth and a beast appeared. Chen Chen had made a move! He was a human student who had been staying relatively silent during the journey. He had suddenly released his tamed beast, a ninth-stage Skysoar.
Seeing the beast, Su Yu frowned and asked, "Ninth-stage Skysoar beast? Are you a Skysoar?"
It was unlikely that someone below the Skysoar Realm could control a Skysoar beast.
With a solemn expression, Chen Chen said, "The elders had underestimated you. They believed that I could deal with you, but that's very unlikely."
"You're a part of the single character faction?"
"No." After a short pause, Chen Chen said, "Elder Zheng saved my life once. I owe him a favor."
"So I have been your target all along?" Su Yu laughed.
A Skysoar beast tamer and a ninth-stage Skysoar beast. This was indeed a strong opponent. According to the single character faction's analysis, this level of strength was enough to defeat Su Yu. Thus, Chen Chen's mission was to capture Su Yu during a critical moment.
Su Yu couldn't be bothered to say anything else and swallowed a drop of ninth-stage Skysoar blood essence. Instantly, a ninth-stage Skysoar aura erupted from his body. Over three hundred acupoints in his body lit up.
Sky Sundering Saber!
As a top-tier heaven-grade technique powered by the offensive strength of a ninth-stage Skysoar, this was an incomparably ferocious attack.
Boom!
The massive beast was instantly cut into two by Su Yu. Even after slicing the beast into two, the blade continued moving forward. Noticing that, Chen Chen's expression changed. He was just about to say something when a small hammer slammed into his sea of willpower and smashed it apart.
Bang!
His head burst apart.
Su Yu was completely indifferent to the death of Chen Chen. It didn't matter if Chen Chen owed the single character faction a favor. He only knew that he owed Chen Chen nothing.
Xia Qing and the others were alarmed to see that. Meanwhile, the flying wolf elder roared as he tried even harder to break free from the water elemental and the shadow. Su Yu merely smiled and said, "Suanni, mountaindrill bull, help them. Kill that fellow."
After saying that, he continued walking forward. With another swing of his blade, Niu Zhen, the barbaric bull youth was cut into two.
The distant barbaric bull elder roared furiously. "Su Yu!"
The old fox was getting anxious. He hurriedly said, "Su Yu, spare Bai Ce. I'll leave with him!"
When Zhen Fei was killed, nobody said anything since the iron-winged bird elder was dead. Even if Xia Qing was killed, nobody would say anything either as the cloud tiger elder was already dead. But now, Su Yu was starting to kill the students whose elders were still around.
Even the sky horse youth couldn't help but say, "Don't kill them! Just take them hostage and threaten their dao protectors!"
Was Su Yu stupid? Why did he kill them? After killing them, wouldn't those dao protectors go crazy?
Su Yu merely smiled before swinging his saber yet again. The flying wolf youth, who was trying to flee, was instantly killed. Both Xia Qing and Bai Ce were greatly alarmed. Su Yu was too strong. And he was intending to kill them all.
"Bai Ce, why don't you kill Xia Qing. I might spare you. Do you want to take his gamble?"
Bang!
The moment those words were said, Bai Ce swept his tail at Xia Qing. The attack landed, sending Xia Qing flying away.
Su Yu smiled and said, "Looks like you guys aren't that close, after all."
Looking at Xia Qing who was sent flying his way, Su Yu's smile grew wider as he said, "Since we're good friends, let me send you to the afterlife."
The saber was swung yet again.
Whoosh!
Xia Qing's head was instantly sent flying while her body was cut into pieces.
"As a weakling, you should learn to act like one."
Su Yu maintained the same smile on his face. He was completely unaffected by Xia Qing's death.
Bai Ce started fleeing while shouting, "Su Yu, I—"
Before he could finish, Su Yu had appeared before him. He was instantly cut into two.
"Old fox, barbaric bull, my condolences."
Su Yu laughed. Since the students they were protecting were dead, it was time for them to go crazy.
