Chapter 1462: Horrified Mo Duona (3)

Inside the Martial Hall.

Su Yu's aura had reached an incredibly high level, instantly propelling him into the strongest person in the room.

His lips curled into a smile.

It was an incomparably bright and genial smile.

The smile of a saint.

"Thank you, everyone."

With that, he sent a kick out. Crushing Mountainsea.

Time!

He finally comprehended the true essence of the Time technique. The Silk Destroying King was indeed not to be underestimated. This technique was not suited for anyone apart from Pseudo Invincibles and actual Invincibles as it required the power of time to work properly.

With a single kick, everyone felt their reality blurring, as though they had been brought back to the previous moment.

Even Zhankui was forced to take a step back. Meanwhile, the others were sent flying back to their previous positions from a moment ago. With a flicker, Su Yu appeared before one of them. After flashing his target a wide smile, he flipped his book open and took his target inside.

A nearby ninth-stage Sunmoon roared and charged toward him with desperation. He merely sent a casual kick to reverse the time of that Sunmoon.

Su Yu sighed with amazement. The Silk Destroying King...was no pushover.

Incredible.

Only now did he truly comprehend the essence of this technique.

At the moment, he was aiming to consume instead of kill. He would only remove their flesh and blood essence, retaining their seas of willpower to prevent the appearance of death spirits.

With a flicker, he appeared before another genius. As he brought his book down, the genius resisted violently, to the extent of taking a heaven weapon out. Alas, it was pointless. The genius was instantly taken into the book.

"Why bother resisting?"

Not far away, Taihe and the other dao protectors hurriedly grabbed their respective young geniuses in alarm and started flying toward the throne. They were trying to open the gate and flee.

However, Su Yu was too fast. With the boost of the blood essence and his Time technique, he was capable of moving far faster than before. After taking one step, he grabbed Taihe and crushed Taihe's body. Then, the book swallowed Taihe.

Dao Cheng hurriedly retreated in alarm. Su Yu merely smiled. Could he escape?

Not far away, Zhankui roared in desperation, "Don't run! Kill him!"

The ninth-stage Sunmoons did not dare to waste any time. After regrouping with Zhankui, they charged toward Su Yu.

Dao Cheng exhaled in relief upon seeing that. He knew that Su Yu was right behind him. But the others were coming.

That thought had barely crossed his mind when Su Yu's voice rang out in his ears, "Do you think that I'll spare you? Wrong. You are too threatening. I think you should stay in my book instead."

At that, Dao Cheng roared and manifested an incomparably powerful character. That character was not far from becoming a Sunmoon character. When it appeared, Su Yu's vision blurred as he saw the future. He saw his death. He saw many things.

Boom!

With a punch, he blasted the character apart before taking the broken pieces of the character into his sea of willpower. He said, "This is a good character. You're not worthy of it."

Then, he crushed Dao Cheng's body before stuffing Dao Cheng into his book. Inside the book, he suppressed Dao Cheng's sea of willpower. If someone were too weak, one wouldn't even be qualified to own something too good.

"NOO!" Dao Cheng roared in desperation, "I know a lot of secrets! Don't kill me, Su Yu!"

Su Yu merely smiled before sealing Dao Cheng away.

Sparing him?

Sure. He would strip everything about Dao Cheng before taking his time to kill Dao Cheng. Or he could simply feed Dao Cheng to the little furball.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yu had captured three geniuses and one ninth-stage Sunmoon. The others trembled in fear.

Xuan Wuji started resorting to threats, "Su Yu, are you trying to make an enemy out of the immortals?"

"..."

Su Yu blanked out slightly before saying, "If my memory serves right, Tiangu ordered a kill order against me. Are we not enemies already?"

With a confused expression, he asked, "Was Tiangu not speaking when he made that announcement? Was he merely farting? Do those words count?"

What a ridiculous threat to make. Xuan Wuji was rendered completely speechless.

With a flicker, Su Yu appeared before Zhankui. This time, he was attacking directly instead of circling around Zhankui. He roared, "Sky Sundering!"

"Heaven Suppressing Fist!"

"Battling Invincible!"

Numerous explosions erupted as the two fought. After creating enough new wounds on Zhankui to force Zhankui into desperation, Su Yu turned around suddenly and punched a ninth-stage Sunmoon before dragging that Sunmoon into his book.

The terrified Zhankui started retreating.

Meanwhile, Su Yu was taking it slow. He couldn't make Zhankui too desperate.

A Pseudo Invincible like Zhankui could very well have a dangerous trump card hidden. To prevent Zhankui from using the final trump card, he couldn't extinguish the tiny bit of hope left in Zhankui's heart.

Thus, Su Yu returned his focus to the others. One genius after another was consumed by his book. In the blink of an eye, only Xuan Wuji was left. As for the ninth-stage Sunmoons, only one remained out of five. The sole survivor had joined up with Zhankui and Xuan Wuji. All three had a look of despair on their faces.

Up in the air, Yang Hu was getting desperate as well. He was attacking Mo Duona madly, to the point that Mo Duona had lost nearly half his body. However, Mo Duona did not relent. As he fought on, he shouted, "Pick up the pace, Su Yu! I can't hold on much longer!"

Since he had promised to keep Yang Hu occupied, he would keep his word. That was his pride as a genius. But Su Yu was still fighting in such a leisurely manner. Thus, Mo Duona was quite angered by that.

Just then, Zhankui roared, "I won't hold back anymore!"

His aura surged, looking like he was about to detonate himself. Noticing that, Su Yu hesitated slightly. At that, Zhankui took the chance to throw a punch and blasted a ninth-stage Sunmoon nearby apart.

Not even the sea of willpower of that Sunmoon survived.

Rumble!

A moon dropped. At the same time, a Pseudo Invincible death spirit appeared in the hall.

A ninth-stage Sunmoon had died. This was the result.

Zhankui said, "Don't force us, Su Yu! Otherwise, I will lure more Invincible death spirits out! We will die together—"

Before he could finish his words, Su Yu tossed over a hundred ancient city medallions out.

The Pseudo Invincible death spirit had a tiny bit of intelligence. He looked at Su Yu and said in a robotic manner, "Not enough..."

"How greedy."

Su Yu laughed with amusement and tossed out a few more dozen medallions. Only then did the death spirit leave with satisfaction.

"..."

Zhankui was shouting madly. What? How was this happening? He had never tried this before as he had never gotten his hands on so many ancient city medallions.

Xuan Wuji's desperation grew as he shouted, "Yang Hu! Leave! Take me with you!"

This was getting very dangerous.

They had no way of defeating Su Yu. Hearing that, Su Yu merely smiled and said, "You guys have wasted too many of my treasures."

Then, he sent his book flying toward Xuan Wuji.

At the same time, he charged Zhankui. At Su Yu's approach, Zhankui threatened, "I'll detonate myself! That will summon an Invincible death spirit! Such a death spirit is smart enough not to accept your bribe! Your ancient city medallions won't work!"

This was Zhankui's sole option. Since Su Yu had refrained from destroying the seas of willpower he had collected, it was clear that Su Yu was worried about the death spirits as well. Or to be precise, he was wary of the death sovereigns.

"Su Yu! Let me go! I won't interfere in your business!" He started begging, "Release me or I'll detonate myself! Su Yu, my death will summon a death sovereign. All of us will die! I'm serious!"

Yang Hu joined in as well, "Su Yu! Mo Duona! So many have died! Release us and we will swear not to expose anything about this! Otherwise, our deaths might summon two death sovereigns here. Can you deal with that?"

This was troublesome. Death sovereigns might not care about ancient city medallions. Even if they were willing to accept ancient city medallions, would Su Yu have enough to bribe them?

However, Su Yu merely laughed and said, "I love gambling. I will gamble on the fact that you won't have the courage to detonate yourselves. With me here, you might still be able to keep your seas of willpower. As long as you're still alive, hope remains."

Then, he appeared before Zhankui and threw a punch. The punch landed and further injured Zhankui.

He roared in fear, "No! I will do it! Don't force me! Su Yu! Don't force me!"

Meanwhile, Su Yu started sending some undulations through his death qi connection. He was trying to ask if Xing Yue could be the one to come out. If possible, he wanted Xing Yue to be the death sovereign to appear. He was quite good at handling her. If not, he might need to disguise himself as a death spirit to fool the other death sovereigns. He wasn't sure if that would work.

Heavenly laws.

Everything here operated in accordance with the laws. When lives were taken, death spirits would appear. Was there a way for him to prevent the death sovereigns from killing him through the laws?

In the ancient cities, the danger would be eliminated after three days. What about this place?

Suddenly, Mo Duona said, "Don't worry. I have a way to deal with that. Since I've chosen this place to make my move, I naturally have a solution for this threat."

Su Yu did not dare to place his trust in Mo Duona. He continued sending undulations through his death qi connection, telling Xing Yue to come out, convincing her that this was her best chance to kill him.

***

Xing Yue could feel the unique undulations coming through her death qi connection.

The other death sovereigns did not notice anything, but Xing Yue was connected to Su Yu. After receiving his message, her face turned frosty. Was he provoking her again? Definitely. He was provoking her! This was intolerable.

She stood up in anger and declared, "I'll be leaving later. That guy has fallen under my control. He will follow my order and kill a Pseudo Invincible soon. I need to leave and lead him personally."

The other death sovereigns were overjoyed to hear that. One of them asked, "Did you succeed in converting him?"

"I'm near completion. It won't be long. I can complete it faster out there."

"Good. Since he's already taking orders from you, it won't be long before he's fully converted."

The death sovereigns started celebrating their coming freedom.

Meanwhile, Xing Yue snorted inwardly. What were these fools celebrating? Leaving? Dream on. It wouldn't happen. As for that damn Su Yu, she would never spare him.

She had no choice but to leave and distance herself from these death sovereigns. She was worried that these death sovereigns would really notice her weakness if this continued. At the very least, Su Yu wouldn't kill her. That guy wouldn't bear to let her die and lose his source of death qi.

But the more she thought about it, the angrier she was. How...had she fallen so low that she had to rely on that bastard for survival? She was furious! She sent some undulations through the death qi connection, promising Su Yu that she would leave and kill him.

***

Inside the hall, Su Yu grinned.

Wow.

So she could really leave?

Amazing.

With one death sovereign out, the others would be blocked from leaving. This, too, was in accordance with the laws. With Xing Yue here, she could even help him out with Yang Hu.

Zhankui continued roaring, "Su Yu, don't force me! I'll detonate myself!"

"Go ahead."

"I'll do it!"

"Go ahead. As a Pseudo Invincible, why do you talk too much? Detonate yourself or I'll kill you."

Su Yu threw another punch, breaking even more bones of Zhankui. Finally, Zhankui grew tired of this humiliation and detonated himself.

"You wanted this!"

With that final roar of his, a massive moon dropped from the sky. This wasn't his original intention, but Su Yu had forced him to do this. In that case, he would drag Su Yu down with him.

Su Yu hurriedly retreated to avoid the explosion. Inside the hall, an Invincible death spirit manifested.

Just as Mo Duona was about to do something, Su Yu laughed heartily and said, "My dearest lord, I've missed you! You're finally here!"

"..."

Silence descended.

A tiny bit of Zhankui's consciousness remained. With boundless indignation and confusion, he gazed upon the cloaked death sovereign.

With a frosty expression, Xing Yue asked, "Su Yu, are you provoking me?"

"Not at all, my beloved lord. We're family! How am I provoking you?" Su Yu said, "Lord, this immortal Pseudo Invincible has been bullying me. Please kill him for me, Lord! He's disrespecting you! He's bullying your loyal subordinate!"

Both Yang Hu and Mo Duona froze.

Holy shit!

Even a death sovereign...was standing on Su Yu's side?

This was the Luminous Domain Mansion!

How did he get this death sovereign to stand on his side?

They were stunned.

Noticing that the death sovereign was indeed not attacking Su Yu, Zhankui's consciousness dissipated with boundless fury and indignation.

"I can't accept this!"

Nobody would be able to accept dying like this.

Mo Duona's jaw dropped. Yang Hu's eyes widened. Right at that moment, Xing Yue charged toward Yang Hu. She couldn't allow anyone to witness her humiliation and survive. This was a situation where the laws would allow her to kill freely. She could kill everyone in her presence. Thus, she had to kill these people to silence them.

Instantly, Yang Hu found himself covered by a dense layer of death qi.

He roared in despair, "No! This isn't happening! Death sovereign...no,no, my beloved lord, please—"

"Impudent!"

Xing Yue was further triggered by that. What was he calling her? She swore not to spare this person. Su Yu was the only person allowed to call her that. Because she couldn't do anything to him. But she would not allow anyone else to humiliate a great death sovereign like her.

Boom!

With her cloak, she severed the River of Time. With a single palm attack, she nearly converted Yang Hu into a death sovereign then and there. After about seven or eight palms, Yang Hu's body was blasted apart.

Su Yu hurriedly shouted, "No! Please leave the sea of willpower behind..."

He dashed forth and took the sea of willpower into his book. As for Xuan Wuji, he had long been taken into the book.

Beside him, Mo Duona was sweating heavily. He had never been so shocked before. He had never seen a living person flirting with a death sovereign before. More importantly, that death sovereign had indeed helped Su Yu kill a Pseudo Invincible.

Did he discover a big secret? Was he about to get silenced as well? After absorbing the sea of willpower, Su Yu stood beside Xing Yue. The sight of that filled Mo Duona's mind with numerous ideas. He nearly yelled in fear.

Was it really possible for a human and a death spirit to get together?
