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.
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.
