Chapter 866: Cui Lang Of Great Ming (2)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

At the same time.

Somewhere else in the Plain of Desires.

Atop a flattened hill was a group of individuals. Leading the group was a youth with a faintly discernible symbol of flame on his forehead. His fiery red hair cascaded down his shoulders, while his pupils were as dark as the abyss. He was holding a mirror with one hand.

In his other hand was a bloodstained rag. After wiping the mirror with the rag, the mirror started shining. Then, a faint dot of light appeared on the mirror.

"Huang Teng!"

The youth grinned. Beside him was a burly youth with a pair of fiery eyes. The burly youth sneered and said, "He's not far from us. Wu Qi is probably with him as well. How dare that bitch kill my younger brother? I won't spare her."

The youth with a fire imprint on his forehead indifferently said, "Mo Erba, don't do anything stupid. If we can capture the two of them alive, they belong to me."

Mo Erba was the elder brother of the devil Wu Qi killed for her breakthrough.

When he heard that, he frowned. But he still nodded, "Of course. Since Brother Tianduo wishes to catch them alive, we'll do so."

The original devils were the rulers of the devil race.

Although Mo Erba was not weaker than Tianduo, he was the one who had begged Tianduo to help him with this. Thus, Tianduo was the one with the initiative. It did not matter if Wu Qi was captured or killed. Either of the two was enough to satisfy his desire for vengeance.

Tianduo gave no reply. He looked at the mirror again. Behind him were the experts of the devil race. Inside the mirror, the dot of light continued moving to the edge of the mirror. Before long, it would exceed the confines of the mirror.

Seeing that, Tianduo ordered, "Let's continue. Huang Teng is injured. We must prevent him from returning to the human territory."

The group moved rapidly and vanished into the distance in the blink of an eye.

***

The geniuses and experts of the various races had entered the Plain of Desires, plunging the place into chaos. This place was the hunting ground of the various geniuses. Only those with a respectable level of strength would have the courage to enter this place.

The famous Wu Qi of Great Xia wasn't even anything special here. At the moment, both Wu Qi and Huang Teng were in the middle of running from their enemies.

In fact, the geniuses of the various races had also been fighting each other, such as the confrontation between the golden dragon and the mystic armors. Here, there was no prejudice when it comes to hunting geniuses. The various races were not joined together to hunt only the human geniuses. Any genius of a different race was fair game. This was the consensus of everyone here.

While the geniuses were fighting out in the open, Sunmoons and various dao protectors were also hiding all over the Plain of Desires. The experts of the various races harboring their own ulterior motives were also there.

As for the Invincibles, this was not a place they would enter. This was supposed to be a place that was not under the control of anyone. The moment any Invincible stepped into this place, all the other races would start suspecting the Invincible of trying to expand the territory of their race and shift the established frontlines.

Additionally, some mysterious cities also stood in the Plain of Desires. And these cities were also inhabited by numerous experts. Some of these cities were even connected to the entrances to some ancient races. Thus, the various parties were very careful when dealing with these mysterious cities.

***

None of that was a concern for Su Yu currently.

He was fully focused on the mystic armors. After all, someone from that race had attacked him. Before long, he found the group again.

Red Armor and his companions had found a new location to set up camp. From afar, Su Yu noted that the group had buried some items in the vicinity of their camp. Perhaps a defensive formation or something similar had been set up around them.

"How cautious."

Yet again, Su Yu learned something new. Not a single person capable of surviving here was someone to be underestimated. Every last one of them was extremely cautious. It was obvious that for a genius to grow into a powerhouse, one needed to be truly capable.

In the camp ahead of him.

The group of mystic armors were in the midst of consuming some raw meat. That seemed to be the flesh they had freshly harvested from some experts they caught. Red Armor was scanning their surroundings. A glimmer of light could be seen from the slit on his helmet while he was doing that.

Soon, he looked at Green Armor and asked, "Are there any changes with the Sourcepin Ruler?"

Green Armor took his ruler out and checked before shaking his head, "There are no changes in our vicinity."

The Sourcepin Ruler did not have a large range, but it was still effective in preventing sneak attacks. The moment someone tried to approach them, the ruler would be able to sense it.

Green Armor asked, "Red Armor, are we still catching that gold dragon? That fellow might be young, but he's very cautious. He's also not weak at all. Even if we work together, we can only guarantee a kill. It is very hard for us to catch him alive."

"If we really can't catch him alive, just kill him."

Red Armor said, "That would be enough to generate some heavenly rewards for us. We would still benefit from it."

The others nodded and said nothing else.

Red Armor took out a golden talisman and looked at it before shaking his head, "Several Yellow Index fellows died during the past few days. That human called Huang Teng sure is not weak. Truly worthy of being the first-ranked name in the Earth Index. Huomu of the earthfire devil race is dead. Huang Teng is most likely the killer. The original devil race's Tianduo is currently in pursuit of Huang Teng with a group of devils. Remember to stay away from them."

The others nodded. The devils were very powerful. It would be wise to not provoke such strong opponents.

As for the humans, well, they were strong as well. But most of their strength was derived from numbers. In terms of quality, sure, some of their geniuses were strong as well. But they were still incomparable to the divine and devil geniuses. Furthermore, things were rather chaotic between the human geniuses as well since none of them was willing to bow to the other.

"Divines, devils, and dragons...all of them are here. But I have yet to hear about any immortal here. Even the people from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion are here..."

Red Armor said, "After hunting that golden dragon down, we'll return to the Heavendoom City immediately. We'll also need to be avoiding this place for a while after that."

"Alright."

The others agreed.

Suddenly, Green Armor exclaimed, "He’s here again!"

Boom!

He had barely spoken those words when the small dragon in the sky abruptly enlarged before sending his tail sweeping at the group. Multiple formations appeared, but all of them were blasted apart in no time.

"Kill!"

Crack!

The armored individuals unleashed their strength and charged the golden dragon. Redd Armor couldn't resist cursing. This young dragon was too petty. They had merely attempted to capture this dragon once before and failed. But instead of fleeing, the dragon had decided to go after them instead.

The armored individuals split up and surrounded the dragon. With a frosty look in his eyes, the dragon roared.

Rumble!

The ground itself cracked from that roar while powerful soundwaves assaulted the armored individuals. After the roar, the golden dragon said, "You're all dead! How dare the mystic armor race challenge the golden dragon race? Every single one of you will pay with your life!"

"Kill him!"

With a roar, Red Armor pulled out a long spear. The others did the same. With their spears, they entered a formation and shot toward the golden dragon. Right at that moment, a black figure flickered below Green Armor.

"I need to get rid of this guy."

Su Yu had been fearful of approaching these people due to the Sourcepin Ruler. Since a fight had broken out, none of them would think too much about source qi undulations. This was the perfect opportunity for him to sneak closer.

At the same time, Su Yu was also very impressed at how petty the golden dragon was. In fact, the golden dragon was basically as petty as him. Just look at what the golden dragon had done. In such a short time, he had actually attacked the group twice.

The mystic armors sure were bad at picking opponents. Why did they focus on only provoking the petty ones? First, Su Yu moved as shadow. Then, he turned into wind.

Green Armor was busy working alongside his companions to kill the golden dragon when he felt a sudden sense of crisis. But that sensation was gone almost immediately. It was too odd.

What was going on? He looked at the golden dragon, who was preparing to run yet again.

Green Armor misunderstood and thought that the golden dragon was about to use a powerful trump card. He braced himself against the golden dragon, concluding that the golden dragon was probably the one who had caused him to feel that momentary sense of crisis.

Suddenly, blinding rays of light shot out of Red Armor's eyes as he roared, "Watch out!"

Those words had barely left his mouth when a massive hammer appeared noiselessly above Green Armor.

Boom!

A loud rumble that could only be heard in Green Armor's sea of willpower erupted. His sea of willpower was instantly smashed apart. At the same time, a hand reached out of thin air and grabbed his leg. Before anyone could react, Green Armor disappeared with a flicker.

"Damn it!"

The golden dragon was about to run away when he noticed Green Armor's disappearance. He was overjoyed to see that. He opened his jaws and spat out a long sword. The sword was incomparably sharp.

With a pop, the sword stabbed through one of the armored individuals. The golden dragon then chomped down on the same person. Red Armor took the chance to land an attack on his tail, causing him to bleed. But he completely ignored the attack and streaked away with the corpse of a mystic armor in his mouth. In the blink of an eye, he vanished without a trace.

With an unsightly expression, Red Armor landed on the ground and said, "Give chase!"

The golden dragon was harder to deal with, so he decided to first deal with the other bastard. Damn it! He recognized the attack. It was that human!

That damn human had actually been hiding near them! When they were fighting the golden dragon, that human launched a surprise attack on Green Armor. Even among their group, Green Armor could be considered an expert. But he had actually been knocked out with a single hammer hit before being dragged off.

***

At this time, Su Yu was hiding deep underground. He was landing punch after punch on the armor. At the same time, he was also burning the armor with fire, striking the armor with lightning, and hitting the armor with his hammer.

Crack!

Finally, something broke. While still in a daze from the hammer strike, Green Armor lost his life. Immediately after that, a clump of golden cloud appeared above Su Yu's head even though he was hiding deep underground.

He had killed someone above his level.

This Green Armor was a seventh-stage Cloudbreach, but he was weaker than Red Armor. Nevertheless, he was still a genius. And Su Yu had killed a genius above his level. Thus, a heavenly reward was generated.

Su Yu looked up and saw the small clump of cloud entering his body. When he spread his senses further, he sensed several presences approaching rapidly. Red Armor and the others were giving chase.

"Bastard!"

"Damn it!"

"Human, you're dead!"

Red Armor was furious. Since even a heavenly reward had appeared, Green Armor was definitely dead. Deep underground, Su Yu was frowning. The cloud had entered his body rapidly. There was no way for him to even stop it. But after sensing what he got...he cursed.

"Garbage."

The reward was merely a small amount of heavenly source qi. It was equivalent to three heavenly source fruits. If this wasn't garbage, what was it? Others might be overjoyed to receive such a reward, but Su Yu felt nothing.

He also didn't have any issue digesting this reward. After all, he would absorb more than three portions of heavenly source qi on a daily basis. He no longer felt anything from absorbing heavenly source qi. All the heavenly source qi in his body was cleanly processed with a single pulse of his acupoints.

In his hands was a set of green armor. Since this was no longer a life form, Su Yu stuffed it into his storage ring before escaping.

Earth transformation, followed by water transformation, and so on.

In the blink of an eye, he created a massive distance between himself and his pursuers, leaving only his voice behind, "The guy in red armor, you were the one who had provoked me. Just wait. This is not over."

"Hmph!"

Red Armor merely snorted. He attempted to give chase, but soon, he had to give up on it. He looked at the others and said, "Let's go. We'll look for the divines. These bastards are targeting us."

Two of them had perished in the blink of an eye. Both the golden dragon and human were targeting their group.

Damn it!

They had no choice but to abandon their plan to hunt the golden dragon. Furthermore, they no longer had Green Armor's ruler with them. This would make them susceptible to ambushes.

Their race had a rather good relationship with the divine race. Thus, they could seek help from the divines when they encounter any issue. At this point, only twelve of them were left.
