Chapter 1194: Butcher (2)

Under Su Yu's lead, Liu Wenyan's group and the white masks approached the active battlefield.

An intense battle was still ongoing.

Many of the Sunmoons were stillnverging around the devil Sunmoon. Before long, a group of about seventeen Sunmoons were gathered. Among them, four were late-stage Sunmoons, with three being seventh-stage Sunmoons and one being an eighth-stage Sunmoon.

The sight of so many powerful experts made it clear how determined the myriad races were to kill Liu Wenyan. Su Yuuld even sense that a few of the gathered Sunmoons were actually humans.

Naturally, all of them were masked to hide their identities. In truth, they would probably be better off hiding their identities through some other methods. By arriving in masks, they made it very clear that they were humans. Some of them might even be the subordinates of the traitor.

The eighth elder was engaged in an intense battle against these Sunmoons. As a Pseudo Invincible, any casual attack of hisuld be fatal to anyone under the seventh-stage Sunmoon Realm.

At the moment, the four late-stage Sunmoons were keeping the eighth elder occupied while the other Sunmoons stayed further away and assisted by throwing ranged attacks at the elder.

This would certainly not work against an Invincible. Perhaps this was the difference between a Pseudo Invincible and an Invincible.

Then again, it was also likely that the eighth elder was not fully demonstrating the potential strength a Pseudo Invincibleuld have. For example, he might have captured only his past body, which would be weaker. Not everyone had the ability to capture their future body before bming a Pseudo Invincible.

Su Yuuld see that the eighth elder was stronger than regular ninth-stage Sunmoons but still weaker than the truly strong Pseudo Invincibles. For example, someone at the level of Ye Batianuld probably easily slaughter everyone here instead of struggling like the eighth elder.

After a while, the Sunmoon devil exclaimed, "You're not First Divine!"

A Sunmoon divine added, "You're definitely not the First Divine Sect master! Who are you?"

The divines were still quite familiar with the First Divine Sect master. After all, that was their nominal representative in the Human Realm. Thembat style of this Pseudo Invincible held no resemblance to the First Divine Sect master's.

Next, a different person exclaimed, "He's not the First Divine Sect master! He's from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion! He must be the eighth elder of their Enforcement Unit!"

The other Sunmoons were greatly alarmed upon hearing that.

One of the Sunmoons noticed Su Yu and his entourage. He questioned furiously, "Is the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion thinking of going to war against us?"

His anger was understandable. So many Sunmoons had died here.

Su Yu's eyes flickered as he quickly thought of something and roared, "First Divine Sect master, are you here? May I suggest that we join hands and kill all these people? The pavilion has been hired to protect Liu Wenyan. But killing them is not part of the mission. If you're willing tooperate with us, we won't mind going the extra mile and killing these people alongside you."

He received no reply. Su Yu frowned. Was the First Divine Sect master really not here? But heuld sense Ji Hong's indexpy nearby. Or was it possible that the First Divine Sect master had deliberately lured him here because the sect master knew his identity as well?

Otherwise, heuld have gotten rid of Ji Hong's indexpy long ago. He should be aware that the indexpyuld be tracked. Also, was the sect master here to save Liu Wenyan? But if that was the case, why did the sect master allow Liu Wenyan to fall into the hands of the pavilion?

Su Yu shouted again, "Sect Master, are you really not willing tooperate with us? Or perhaps you're wary of the traitor among the human Invincibles? Don't worry. The pavilion is investigating him as well. If he does choose to act, with two Pseudo Invincibles, we still stand a chance against a mere tri-life body. Even if we can only keep him occupied for a short while, that will be enough for us to track his real body. The knowledge of his identity is worth a lot of money, so you don't have to worry about our betrayal."

The Sunmoon devil shouted, "Eighth Elder, Profound Nine, you're only here tomplete a mission. Why fight to the death for the sake of some money? If it's money you're after, we are also capable of paying you off."

Su Yu did not mind engaging in morenversation to buy more time. He laughed and asked, "How much money are you offering to pay for your lives?"

"A hundred strands of heavenearth profound light. What do you think?"

The Sunmoon devil added in a somewhat helpless manner, "Additionally, we are willing to pay three hundred strands of heavenearth profound light for Liu Wenyan's life."

Su Yuuldn't even be bothered to entertain that request. He sent a voice transmission, "Titanic Strength, Earthfire, take some people and kill them. First Profound Elder will stay to watch our back against any sneak attacks."

"Sure."

The two former sect masters were getting quite excited. What a spectacle this was. They were actually freely slaughtering the Sunmoons of the myriad races. As former cultists, they used to be the servants of these people. But now, their roles had been reversed. They were the ones holding power over the lives of these people.

In the blink of an eye, the two late-stage Sunmoons joined the battle. They might not be too dependable in a losing battle, but they were still quite useful in a battle where the advantage was clearly on their side.

With the inclusion of two more late-stage Sunmoons, the myriad race Sunmoons were having an even harder time than before.

The battle grew so intense massive explosions were erupting everywhere. It felt as though the entire world was shaking, and the beasts in the wilderness nearby had either fled or been killed by the resulting shockwaves.

This place wasn't even that far away from both Great Zhou and Great Jin yet nobody from those two prefectures had bothered to check on themmotion. The multlored explosions from the battle of so many Sunmoonsuld be seen from even far away. Clearly, the two prefectures did not intend to get dragged into such a massive battle.

Even Su Yu was starting to grow excited. This was an amazing feeling. He had been finding some people eyesores for quite a while. Alas, he wouldn't be able to kill too many of them alone. And killing a Sunmoon or two wouldn't really make that much of a difference anyway. Thankfully, he was now Profound Nine, the shot-caller of Heavenly Hunt Pavilion in the Human Realm.

This granted him enough power to attack over twenty Sunmoons at once. He had also been quite successful, as a decent number of Sunmoons had perished because of him thus far. This was the benefit of having a powerful backer.

***

In the sky.

The slightly pale Ji Hong looked at the illusory figure beside him and asked, "Sect Master, are you still not making a move? You're here to save Liu Wenyan, but he has fallen into the hands of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. Are you going to make a move against the myriad race Sunmoons or take advantage of the chaos to snatch Liu Wenyan from the pavilion? You must have decided, so why are you still watching?"

Even now, Ji Hong was still finding it hard to believe that this was Nan Wujiang, nor had the sect master admitted to being Nan Wujiang. Ji Hong still viewed the First Divine Sect master with suspicion, and he had been observing the sect master attentively.

After all, those from Great Xia were not the only ones capable of acting. There was a possibility that this sect master was a subordinate of the traitor. Thisuld very well be a scheme to obtain some information from him.

"There's no rush." The illusory person replied, "We'll wait and see. Over forty Sunmoons have gathered here. This is enough to kill even me if I end up surrounded here."

There were too many people. One of them was even a Pseudo Invincible. Sure, this wasn't one of those super Pseudo Invincibles capable of fighting Invincibles, but one should always be wary against a Pseudo Invincible.

Ji Hong returned to silence.

Meanwhile, the battle had beenntinuously growing in intensity.

After punching a third-stage Sunmoon apart, the Titanic Strength Sect master laughed heartily and said, "Celestial eye divine race? Nothing special."

He had just punched a divine apart. In the past, a cultist like him would never have theurage to attack a divine. But today, he had been given the chance to kill a divine. How exhilarating. He was in a great mood.

This felt as liberating as what a serf would feel after overthrowing their overlords in a peasant revolution. Back then, he was a slave of the myriad races, the titanic strength divine race in particular. Now, things had changed. Sure, he did not get the chance to kill a titanic strength divine. But he had still killed a divine.

As for Su Yu, seeing that there was no response from the First Divine Sect master, he frowned and said, "Everyone, do you want to live or die? The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion does not wish to make an enemy out of everyone. As long as you capture the humans among you and hand them to us, we'll spare you."

"Hmph!" The myriad race Sunmoons merely snortedldly at him.

Su Yu added, "They are probably the chess pieces of the human traitor, and ourre business is still information peddling. The profit from killing all of you is nothingmpared to the profit from selling information. The pavilion is not an organization of assassins. We only care about profit, not the type of business we do."

"Think about it. How long can you even last? Are you waiting for reinforcements? How long will that take? Must you force us to kill all of you?"

Before the myriad race Sunmoonsuld even reply, the three masked humans among them hurriedly fled. They would never place their trust in the myriad races. The art of sowing dissension was verymmon, but it was also very effective.

It was quite likely that the myriad race Sunmoons would take this offer. This was the disadvantage of working in a loosealition of multiple factions.

With a wave of Su Yu's hand, several Sunmoons behind him shot forth and went after the three fleeing humans. Once again, sounds of explosions filled the area.

Right at that moment, a different voice rang out, "We canoperate. You will be in charge of killing them all. A Pseudo Invincible devil has arrived. I will keep him busy for you."

The skyllapsed and the earth split.

Far away from them, amid shattered chunks of space, a battle had started between a devil and an illusory figure.

"First Divine Sect master?" The devil roared furiously, "Audacious! How dare you stop me?"

The eighth elder's expression changed massively as he hurriedly sent a voice transmission, "Both of them are very strong. They are similar in strength with the third elder."

Clearly, the eighth elder was saying that they were stronger than him. More and more experts had arrived.

The eighth elder suggested, "We need to retreat. If thisntinues, more experts will arrive. This is not the only Pseudo Invincible sent by the myriad races this time."

The eighth elder was of the opinion that if they remained until more Pseudo Invincibles arrived, they would be the ones to suffer.

Su Yu sighed inwardly.

Humanity had no Pseudo Invincibles to spare. Or to be precise, all the Pseudo Invincibles had been deployed elsewhere. Otherwise, this would be a good chance to wipe out all the myriad race and pavilion experts here. Such an action would be enough to plant some fear in the hearts of the myriad races.

Alas, that was not happening. Humanity was clearly turning a blind eye to the intense battle here. The few humans who had actually arrived were only here to kill Liu Wenyan.

Tired of being a spectator, Su Yu decided to start fighting himself. His gaze settled on a human expert who was in the middle of a battle with White One as his eyes lit up. Suddenly, a rumble rang out as the human expert was set aflame.

"Ahhhhhhh!"

The human Sunmoon wailed miserably as his skin tore apart from the burning. His blood poured out only to instantly evaporate due to the intense heat around him.

"Capture all these humans."

Su Yu ordered, "First Profound Elder, it's time you make a move."

First Profound did not argue and reached out to a different human Sunmoon.

Alarmed, the human Sunmoon swung his saber once before madly fleeing. In his desperation, he even ignited his blood essence for an extra boost of power.

First Profound did not intend to hold back. He pushed his arm forth and slapped the fleeing human Sunmoon down from the sky. With a rumble, the human Sunmoon crashed into the ground before bursting apart.

In place of the destroyed body, a ball of light appeared. That was the human Sunmoon's sea of willpower. It did not hesitate and started fleeing almost immediately. The ball of light moved at an incredibly fast speed.

First Profound was just about to capture the ball of light when it was set aflame all of a sudden. A miserable wail rang out. Then, the ball of light exploded, releasing massive shockwaves in all directions. That was followed by the appearance of a falling moon in the sky.
