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.
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.
