Chapter 1223: Fall Of Invincible, Reveal Of Traitor (1)

The instant death of so many Sunmoons had alarmed not only the myriad races. Everyone was alarmed.

Would more arrive?

Divine, devil, immortal, and dragon.

Four Invincibles had arrived, yet all four had been stopped. These humans were simply too terrifying. On top of that, eight out of seventeen Pseudo Invincibles had perished. Nobody could believe this was happening.

The dragon, divine, and nether Pseudo Invincibles had died. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion had lost two as well.

The surviving Pseudo Invincibles couldn't stay calm anymore. The devil Pseudo Invincible warned, "We need to stick together!"

If they continued acting separately, all of them would die. At this point, they no longer enjoyed any advantage in this conflict.

Lan Tian, First Divine, Xia Xiao'er, Liu Wenyan, and Niu Baidao would be enough to deal with all nine of them and perhaps even prevail. First Divine and Lan Tian were simply too strong.

According to what they could see, First Divine was the strongest, followed by Lan Tian who seemed to be slightly stronger than Xia Xiao'er. Marquis Xia and Niu Baidao were about equal in strength. Liu Wenyan, who was relying on Ye Batian's character, was slightly weaker than the rest.

They no longer enjoyed an advantage in terms of Pseudo Invincibles. As for the Sunmoons of other levels, over thirty of the pavilion Sunmoons had died. The myriad races had also lost about twenty Sunmoons since the start of the battle. All in all, about sixty Sunmoons from their side had fallen thus far.

As for the Xia, Qin, and Zhu Families, they had started the battle with over forty Sunmoons. After the battle started, around twenty more Sunmoons arrived to help them. About ten of them had perished in the battle.

Altogether, over seventy Sunmoons had perished due to this conflict. This was probably the largest number of Sunmoons to have died on the same day in centuries.

At the moment, the myriad races still had over ninety Sunmoons on their side. As for the humans, they had about forty Sunmoons. There were also around twenty Sunmoons further away from the city who had been staying away from the battle.

There were about 150 Sunmoons left in the area.

Meanwhile, more than a hundred Sunmoons had perished in recent days, including those who had died because of Su Yu. Of these deaths, the humans had lost about twenty Sunmoons while the myriad races had lost over eighty Sunmoons. And the people who had caused the most deaths were actually Su Yu and the Yellow Department head.

Individually speaking, each group or race had lost about the same number of people. However, Su Yu and the Yellow Department head were responsible for over sixty of these deaths. Both of them seemed just as ruthless toward their enemies.

If it wasn't for the two, the gap between those on Great Xia's side and the myriad races would still be quite big.

At this point, the disastrous losses were causing the myriad races to rethink their options. Even with the ruin slowly emerging, they did not feel like staying to fight any longer.

One of them looked around and sighed, "The humans...are scary indeed. It is understandable why the myriad races can't tolerate them."

Mo Duona, who had yet to join the fight, stepped forth and respectfully said, "I beseech Devil King Lade to descend upon us and slay our enemies."

At this point, Devil King Lade should stop hiding.

The previous devil king to arrive was not Devil King Lade, but Mo Duona was clear that Devil King Lade had arrived as well. Of course, it was quite risky for Devil King Lade to be here after losing both his tri-life bodies during the previous ancient city incident.

He, more than the rest of the Invincibles, deserved to hide. But that was no longer a luxury they could afford. His assistance was required. Otherwise, the humans could very well turn this whole battle around.

They were too good at hiding their real capabilities. They had not taken people like Zhu Tiandao, First Profound, and the Yellow Department head into consideration before the conflict. They had only allowed themselves to be distracted by the First Divine Sect master.

With the addition of Devil King Lade, they would be able to end the fight quicker lest more unexpected variables arose.

Mo Duona looked at the others and said, "I believe the various races have more experts hidden in the Human Realm. Are you going to wait around as the humans kill all these experts one by one? We can't afford the delay. We need to end this as quickly as possible."

As a devil, he had to think for the devil race. It wouldn't be wise to give the humans more time.

At this point, the humans had probably exhausted all their trump cards. The humans might be trying to lure the traitor out, but the myriad races were also waiting to catch all the trump cards of humanity together and eliminate all of them. He did not see the need to drag this out any longer.

After all, even the two super experts of humanity hidden in the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion had been exposed. He doubted that humanity could produce any other trump cards.

Shortly after, Devil King Lade appeared.

He appeared slightly weakened, but his aura was still incredibly powerful. After scanning the battlefield, he asked, "Does humanity have anything else to offer?"

The air warped as an expert wrapped in death qi appeared. The expert said, "I doubt so."

To be precise, the second expert was warped in nether qi instead of death qi. Like Devil King Lade, he had also suffered in the hands of the thirty-six stone statues during the previous ancient city incident. In fact, he was doing even worse than Devil King Lade as he was left with only a past body while Devil King Lade was left with a future body.

Two more Invincibles had appeared.

Both were pitiful Invincibles who had suffered recently, but both were still considerably powerful. With his future body, Devil King Lade still possessed the combat strength of an Invincible. As for the nether king, his past body had been captured from a moment before his dao affirmation. Thus, he was also able to muster a combat strength near the Invincible Realm.

The appearance of two more experts made it clear just how determined the myriad races were to stop humanity from finding out who the traitor was. They might not know who the traitor was, but keeping the traitor hidden would only be advantageous to them. The traitor would continue serving as a parasite among humanity.

It was very risky for these two Invincibles to be here. But their desire to regain their tri-life bodies gave them the courage to brave this risk. They required a large amount of resources, more carrier treasures, and even some sunmoon profound yellow liquid if they were to recapture their tri-life bodies. And compared to the Allheaven Battlefield, the Human Realm was clearly a less dangerous stomping ground with all the human Invincibles occupied.

Since the start of the battle, one expert after another had appeared. Would more arrive? The myriad race experts waited anxiously, wondering if more experts would appear. Could humanity produce more experts? They must have run out of experts by now, right?

Suddenly, someone stepped forth. That attracted the worried gazes of the two newly arrived Invincibles, thinking that yet another human expert was making an appearance. But when they looked over, they realized that they were wrong.

It was Dao Cheng.

After giving the two Invincibles a respectful bow, Dao Cheng said, "I beseech the two lords to kill Profound Nine. He might be Su Yu, the greatest criminal among the myriad races. I might be wrong, but even killing the wrong person is better than giving Su Yu an opportunity to flee."

That caused numerous gazes to land on Su Yu. A lot of people found those words agreeable. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was too unreliable. A bunch of humans had somehow established themselves in the pavilion. With so many pavilion members dead, Profound Nine alone had been left alive. Even a fool could see that something was wrong with that.

It was very likely that Profound Nine was a human as well. Even if he wasn't Su Yu, it was still very likely for him to be a human expert. That alone was enough for them to kill him.

Dao Cheng's gaze settled on Su Yu as he said, "Su Yu, why don't you take your mask off? If you're going to die, you might as well die as your true self. Or perhaps humanity still has more experts hidden away, waiting for the correct timing to act?"

"You humans might be doing this to lure your traitor out, but little do you know, the myriad races are also waiting for your trump cards to be revealed. Do you really think that this is a victory for humanity?"

Had the myriad races suffered from this conflict? Yes, but not too terribly. Sure, they had lost eight Pseudo Sunmoons. But two were from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion and the rest were split among the various races.

It seemed like a big number. But split among the various major races, it wasn't even that big of a loss. The elimination of these exposed trump cards was worth more than all the dead Pseudo Invincibles. In fact, these secret experts of humanity were so talented it was worth losing even a few Invincibles to eliminate them.

Su Yu said, "Dao Cheng, I know you have a grudge toward Su Yu. But why are you targeting me? There is no quarrel between us."

Dao Cheng did not answer.

Was Profound Nine really not Su Yu? It didn't matter. Even if there was only a tiny possibility that Profound Nine was Su Yu, this was worth trying.

Su Yu started cursing inwardly. He knew that there was no arguing his way out of this. Alas, two Invincibles, albeit weakened, were still too much for him to handle even if he used all his strength. It was time for Old Wan to make a move, right?

The two Invincibles focused on Su Yu. They couldn't even be bothered to perform an inspection on him. It was a waste of time. They only needed to kill him. There was nobody they hated more than Su Yu, and they would gladly take any chance they had to kill him.

With a cold expression, Devil King Lade sent a palm strike toward Su Yu.

The expressions of Marquis Xia and the others changed drastically. With a roar, Marquis Xia pushed the devil he was facing back before shouting, "You dare?"

Six Invincibles had appeared. This had surpassed all of Marquis Xia's expectations.

Damn that Wan Tiansheng!

Damn him!

What was this mess?

He knew how important the Culture Tomb was. Why did he allow Su Yu to stuff it into the fake ruin? Damn that Wan Tiansheng!

Instantly, Su Yu's aura rose as he squeezed every bit of power he could from the yang acupoint. At the same time, he also consumed a drop of sixth-stage Sunmoon blood essence. He did this not to fight, but to flee.

"Sigh."

Suddenly, a sigh reverberated in the area.

The two Invincibles weren't even surprised.

Devil King Lade said, "You're finally here."

"Sigh."

The sigh sounded again. The air warped before someone with his hands clasped behind his back walked out of thin air.

Wan Tiansheng had arrived.

With a regretful tone, he said, "You are not my targets. Why must you do this? Each of you is left with only one body. Must you seek death here?"

It felt as though he had merely taken a step out of Heart Cultivating Pavilion, yet he had directly appeared at Nanyuan.

Devil King Lade solemnly said, "Wan Tiansheng, we all know you're strong. But you're actually stronger than expected. You must be the real trump card of Xia Family."

Wan Tiansheng smiled, "Lade, you're not stupid. Why come here to die?"

The others were already numbed by this point. Sure enough!

Holy shit!

This line was indeed filled with old schemers and lunatics. This was Wan Tiansheng, the so-called peak Mountainsea expert.
