Chapter 874: Kill Red Armor, Shock Everyone (1)

Further away.

Su Yu spread his senses around and confirmed that there was nobody nearby. He decided to stop being a water elemental. That identity was too eye-catching right now. Soon, he transformed back into Cui Lang's appearance.

Sure, this might be a sensitive time to walk around as a human, but it was better than staying as the water elemental. It was also much easier for him to pull of a disguise as another human instead of an entirely different race altogether.

At the very least, he could use characters as the reason for any unique abilities he might use when using the identity of a human. But if he was caught pretending to be of a different race, he would end up exposing a lot more things.

"I'm Cui Lang again!"

Su Yu smiled. This wasn't a bad thing. After all, the identity he had used to get on the Heavenly Hunt Index was Cui Lang. That way, people would be a lot less suspicious when he did something outrageous.

There were way too many experts in the area. He was able to sense even several Mountainseas around. He had yet to see any Sunmoon. He wondered if they were simply not here or if they were hiding far away.

Or perhaps the Sunmoons were being restricted by something. There was also the possibility that the Skyrend Valley would target Sunmoons or something like that. He was unsure. He only knew that very few Sunmoons would fight in the Plain of Desires. Most of the fights he had witnessed were limited to those below the Sunmoon Realm. Then again, the divines and devils were no easy opponents.

The experts of these major races could easily muster the strength of ten thousand acupoints at the peak Skysoar Realm. As for their strength at the Cloudbreach Realm, it depended on their cultivation method and the nine transformation treasures they used. Each person would progress at a different rate at the Cloudbreach Realm.

The stronger ones could increase their strength by about fifty percent each transformation. The weaker ones could grow by as little as five percent per transformation. Factors such as race, cultivation method, resources, and talent would ensure that individuals at the same level could be very different in strength. But the people here were all geniuses. They were no weaklings.

If they were truly weaklings, a seventh-stage Cloudbreach like Red Armor would not have survived a hammer strike from Su Yu. And he had yet to even see the geniuses in the Heaven Index. Those fellows could be even stronger.

"Tianduo..."

If Su Yu assumed that Tianduo was among the best of his generation in the original devil race, he could very well muster the strength of more than a hundred thousand acupoints as a seventh-stage Cloudbreach. In short, that was a terrifying opponent.

Of course, it was also possible that Tianduo was simply not that strong. Even if he had a body forging art with thirty-six forgings, he might not have completed all thirty-six forgings. Just because one could get a cultivation method with that many forgings did not mean that one could actually complete all of them.

Nevertheless, he was still far stronger than Su Yu in terms of physical strength. Tianduo looked like a warrior. And a warrior was probably weak in terms of willpower. Thus, Su Yu believed that he could still put up a fight against Tianduo.

"Divine and devil geniuses..."

As Cui Lang, Su Yu stepped toward the valley yet again. Inwardly, he was lamenting that one would never know just how terrifying some of these geniuses could be without stepping into the Allheaven Battlefield. One would remain a frog in a well.

Only upon entering this place would one realize just how difficult it was to actually punch above one's level.

Huang Teng must have gotten lucky to kill the Mountainsea of a weak race. Su Yu believed he could do so as well. If Huang Teng was really so impressive, he should have tried to kill the Mountainsea of the divine or devil race instead. Then again, who was the Mountainsea Bai Tianhao had killed back then? Was it a super Mountainsea from the divine or devil race? Or was it merely a weak Mountainsea?

Not all Mountainseas were equal. If the seventh-stage Mountainsea Bai Tianhao killed was a divine or a devil, then he must have been terrifyingly strong back then.

Soon, Su Yu tossed that matter to the back of his mind. He had once again returned to the vicinity of the Skyrend Valley. There were people everywhere, but none tried to scan him with their senses. Su Yu avoided doing the same. Everyone here was very cautious.

Earlier, Su Yu was not able to get a good look at the Skyrend Valley. This time, he finally discovered that the entire valley was wrapped in a thick layer of mist. The valley was massive. It was hard to believe that this was created by the swing of a saber. And he couldn't even see how deep this valley was.

The valley was enveloped by mist and saber qi. Groups of people could be seen keeping watch over specific spots around the valley with weaker saber qi. Those were also the passages one could use to enter the valley.

Su Yu did not dare to try entering himself. He tossed a rock toward a random spot with a normal level of saber qi. With a bang, the rock was instantly reduced into fine powder.

Far away, Tianduo had stopped talking to the crowd. They were all busy making some preparations. It was unknown how they were planning to deal with the saber qi. Everyone here was worried that Huang Teng could strengthen the saber qi in the valley and kill them. In its dormant state, the saber qi was only capable of killing those at the Skysoar Realm and below.

"This is an excellent place to rob and kill!"

That was Su Yu's thought when he looked at the thick mist covering the valley. He was sure a lot of the people here were harboring the same thought. If it wasn't for their fear of the sudden strengthening of the saber qi, they would have entered the valley long ago.

The myriad races were not united. That was even more so for the divines and devils. They would only come together when they were suppressing the human race.

Even further away.

Red Armor suddenly looked in Su Yu's direction with a frown. Su Yu had returned to Cui Lang's appearance, but instead of walking in openly, he was covering himself in black robes and a hood. He looked somewhat different than before.

Red Armor looked at him as a gold glimmer flickered in his eyes.

Boom!

Su Yu shattered the ray of light and looked over. With a frosty tone, he said, "How may I help you, Fellow Daoist from the mystic armor race?"

"Are you a human?" Red Armor was unable to perform his scan. He asked with a hoarse voice, "Fellow Daoist, you're a human, right?"

Right after those words were said, more people extended their senses toward Su Yu.

As a response, Su Yu released a burst of willpower and crushed all the attempts. With a cold tone, he said, "How is that your business? Do you think you can act as you wish just because you managed to earn the favor of the divine race? Are you challenging me?"

Red Armor frowned. Suddenly, he bellowed, "Cui Lang, stop hiding! I know it's you!"

"Cui Lang?"

More and more gazes were concentrated on Su Yu. The human expert who had just climbed to the third place of the Yellow Index? Cui Lang of Great Ming? A weaponsmith? The same fellow who had killed Green Armor from the mystic armor race?

When Tianduo heard that, his eyes shone brightly as he looked over and demanded, "Take off your mask."

A human genius! He wouldn't go out of his way to seek one out, but since one was standing before him, he naturally wouldn't let go of the chance to kill one.

Su Yu cursed and swore that he would kill Red Armor. How meddlesome.

The white-haired An Mintian also looked at Su Yu and coldly said, "Fellow Daoist, why don't you take off your mask? You must be aware of the conflict between humans, divines, and devils. If you're not a human, we will naturally apologize to you after this."

Su Yu coldly said, "So many people here are hiding their identities. But all of you are only targeting me. Is that because you think I'm weak? The divine and devil races might be strong, but you're not the ruler of the Myriad Realms. Are you thinking of killing me?"

Light continued flickering in An Mintian's eyes. At this time, the three-eyed devil opened his third eye and stared straight at Su Yu. Once again, Su Yu released his willpower and shattered the senses creeping his way.

Tianduo proceeded to soar into the sky and gazed down at Su Yu coldly.

Su Yu sneered and pointed at Red Armor, "I suspect that a human is hiding under that armor. Take your armor off. Do you agree? Tianduo, you're here to kill Huang Teng, not create trouble. You already provoked the five elemental race earlier. Now, you're trying to provoke me as well? I know you're new here, but are you that dumb? Are you really itching for a beating? Do you think you won't turn into a public enemy by biting everyone you see like a mad dog?"

With a cold glint in his eyes, Tiando indifferently said, "You're right. I don't intend to make everyone my enemy. Regardless of whether you're Cui Lang, I only have one reminder to you. Do not interfere in our affairs or you will die."

"Heh." Su Yu sneered with contempt and said, "It's pointless to throw around warnings like that. It's obvious you're new here. What a joke. Here, anyone capable of killing someone will kill without hesitation if they want. It is that simple. And if you're incapable, words are meaningless."

After giving Su Yu one final look, Tianduo looked around him. As Su Yu said, there were a lot of people with hidden identities. What was he supposed to do about the others after forcing Su Yu to reveal his identity? He was only here for Huang Teng. He wasn't here to make everyone his enemy.

Taking that into consideration, he stopped pushing the hooded individual. It didn't matter if the hooded individual might be a human. Here in the Allheaven Battlefield, it was also important for one to act dumb when the situation called for it. Nothing was more important than the big picture.

Next, Su Yu looked at Red Armor who was still staring at him. He coldly said, "You, mystic armor guy, you sure are gutsy. Just wait. Don't think that you're untouchable just because you're with the divines. An Mintian from the divine race, don't get too cocky. The divines and devils do not rule the Myriad Realms. You might end up provoking an ancient race expert and get yourself killed."

How confident. An Mintian frowned. Was this someone from an ancient race? What was happening today?

One lunatic after another had appeared, and each of them was so confident. This black-robed individual did not feel too strong, but such a person was actually courageous enough to threaten him.

Beside him, Red Armor spoke through voice transmission, "Lord An, do you want me to test him out? If he's really that human, please lend me a hand and take him down."

He couldn't be bothered to say anything else. He had given up on making An Mintian take the initiative to help him. He had to personally test the black-robed individual. If that was really Cui Lang, this would be a great chance to kill him. If that black-robed individual was proven to be Cui Lang, An Mintian would act. Even those devils would act.

An Mintian's eyes flickered as he promised, "Sure. Be careful. If this is someone from an ancient race instead, leave immediately."

"Alright."

Red Armor answered. He started feeling doubtful. Was this really not Cui Lang? But that person felt too similar to Cui Lang. He had to test it out.

At this point, Su Yu was already thinking of leaving. He felt very gloomy. He found that he was simply too outstanding. There was no hiding himself. Others would notice him no matter how he tried to hide.

Once again, his tribulation character pulsed.

Su Yu cursed inwardly. So they weren't going to give up on him? He looked over with the corner of his eye and saw that Red Armor was getting ready to fight. Then, he looked at the valley in front of him and cursed.

"Little Furball, I'll jump down later. Penetrate his sea of willpower immediately. I'll kill that bastard."

That fellow was too excessive. He had been thinking of switching his target to the divines and devils, but that damn mystic armor was actually taking the initiative to create trouble for him. That damn fellow should have learned to treasure his good luck for surviving their previous encounter.

Sky Sundering Saber qi.

Su Yu judged that the saber qi would not harm him. He might even be able to borrow some of its strength. But he couldn't do it now as that might cast more suspicion on himself. After all, Cui Lang wasn't supposed to know the Sky Sundering Saber.

"Bring it on!"

Su Yu clenched his teeth furiously. As long as An Mintian didn't take part as well, he could finish that mystic armor off with a single hammer strike. In his sea of willpower, his characters all entered the Soul Expanding Hammer.

His character technique took form. He also hid the character technique with his deceit character. Even his yang acupoint was left half-opened. He couldn't kill the others here, but he would have no problem killing this damn mystic armor.

Bring it on!

As for the danger of fighting here...if even Huang Teng was still alive, Su Yu naturally wasn't too worried. As a cultural researcher, he was confident he had more trump cards than Huang Teng. Just by jumping into the valley and hiding himself, these people would have a difficult time finding him.

"I might even get a heavenly reward from killing him. The reward would be decent. If it's heavenly source qi again, I'll reject it. If it's something that won't waste my time, I can accept it before running."

Su Yu started finalizing his plan as his tribulation character pulsed faster and faster. That character was very sensitive to danger. At times, it worked as well as the danger sense of a Sunmoon. It would pulse when someone was thinking of making a move on him.

It seemed like a useless character, but it was actually very helpful. In fact, his previous successful escapes had all been due to this tribulation character. It was even more helpful than the Perception Jade.

Finally, Su Yu was ready to make a move. He was getting quite furious with that Red Armor. He had been wanting to kill this bastard since the first time he saw that fellow. As for the fact that he would be forced to expose his strength doing so...what was there to fear? Cui Lang was the one fighting here, not Su Yu. Wasn't this exciting?

Not far away, Red Armor had already taken out his spear.

He stared at the black-robed man for a bit and noticed that the suspicious individual was studying the valley. How audacious. He had just offended the divines and devils, but he was showing no fear whatsoever.

"Is this really someone from an ancient race? Should I use all my strength? Perhaps I should test him out first?"

Red Armor hesitated. If he used all his strength and ended up killing that individual with one hit, he would be in great trouble if that was really someone from an ancient race.

"I should just test him out first."

𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

He reached a decision. Slowly, he approached Su Yu.

The black-robed individual was still busy throwing rocks into the valley to test the strength of the valley, seemingly completely unafraid of any sneak attacks. Right at that moment, the air warped. Red Armor had abruptly charged forward. Wrapped in an incomparably powerful energy, the spear stabbed toward Su Yu's back.

"Red Armor attacked!"

"I knew he would do this."

"That fellow sure is dumb. He doesn't look strong at all. How dare he provoke these experts..."

Sounds of discussion rang out. After the argument earlier, all of them knew that Red Armor might make a move. All of them were geniuses. Each of them was an arrogant individual. After being provoked by this mysterious individual, they had to test his strength regardless of whether he was Cui Lang or not.

For some reason, the mysterious individual believed that nobody had the courage to attack him. Why was he so confident? Even if it was a divine or a devil, one would still kill them if an opportunity presented itself.

Suddenly, Su Yu turned around with fury and roared, "You dare?"

Red Armor naturally wasn't bothered about his shout. The moment of truth was arriving. He would know whether this was Cui Lang or not soon.
