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.
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.
