Chapter 890: Kill Lei Jue, Run (1)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The First Divine Art continued draining the divine power from the valley.

At the same time, the saber qi around Su Yu grew denser and denser. With the density of saber qi around him, Lei Jue would be an absolute fool to approach him. Furthermore, Lei Jue would probably suspect that this was a trap if Su Yu remained there.

Su Yu no longer dared to underestimate any of the young geniuses here. Every single one of them was crazy yet cautious.

As Su Yu thought about his situation, he muttered, "Maybe I should find someone to fight. That person needs to be strong enough to keep me busy. That way, Lei Jue won't suspect anything if I remain at the same spot."

Otherwise, it would look too suspicious for him to suddenly stop after running for so long. Who should he set his eyes on? That person couldn't be too weak, but also not too strong for him to handle. This was getting difficult.

In fact, Topsoil Spirit was a perfect person for the job. But the earth movement of that fellow was also very troublesome to deal with. Whatever. Su Yu decided to stop thinking. He decided to continue moving around until he found a suitable target.

With his mind made, he continued moving while keeping the First Divine Art active. He was trying to absorb as much divine power as he could so that the saber qi in the area could move with less obstruction.

Sure, the quality of the power left by the Invincibles here was very high, but it had been too long. The saber qi and divine power had also been constantly wearing each other down. Spread in such a large valley, the saber qi and divine power had both declined greatly in strength.

Su Yu continued moving while hiding, taking care to not deliberately expose his whereabouts. These people were too crafty. If anything looked too intentional, they would grow suspicious.

The number of geniuses in the Skyrend Valley had dropped considerably.

A lot of them had been killed. Some had also fled. Only those confident in their own strength remained.

After moving a few kilometers, Su Yu saw a golden dragon tearing off the neck of a gigantic goat with a single bite. The severed head rolled on the ground. The sight of that stunned him. Did dragons attack by biting as well? He was honestly unaware of that.

This golden dragon looked familiar. Was this the same fellow who had attacked the mystic armors alongside him previously? So a dragon would actually bite as well?

Su Yu was stunned by that revelation. This was the first time he saw a dragon biting someone. Then again, it wasn't like he had seen a lot of dragons before. But he had always imagined a dragon attacking by swinging their tail or shooting flames out of their mouth...

Meanwhile, this dragon had not only used a sword before, but he was also capable of attacking by biting. What a diverse skill set!

After biting the goat to death with one bite, the golden dragon suddenly shrunk before staring in Su Yu's direction cautiously. His long tail moved slightly, as though he was getting ready to launch a surprise attack on someone.

This dragon was a ninth-stage Cloudbreach. He was absolutely not weak. And the dragon race was also a top 10 race. Sure, the golden dragons weren't the strongest among the many sub-races in the greater dragon race, but this was still a race that was second only to the celestial dragons.

This golden dragon was probably quite a young one. And the goat he had just bitten to death was most likely only a Cloudbreach.

Su Yu stared at the golden dragon as he considered the idea of using this dragon as his opponent. But this fellow was truly not weak. Challenging him might prove troublesome.

While Su Yu was thinking, a golden light glimmered in the dragon's eyes as he spoke, "Cui Lang?"

The surprised Su Yu revealed himself and asked, "How did you know?"

So it was really that human!

The golden dragon took a few steps back cautiously, not forgetting to put the corpse of his latest victim away before saying, "I've witnessed your movement technique before. It's very strong. After sensing the presence of an expert I couldn't see nearby, I guessed that it was you."

This was quite a smart dragon.

The golden dragon asked, "Are you thinking of killing me?"

"Absolutely not." Su Yu smiled, "We are comrades. Didn't we kill some mystic armors together not long ago?"

"No. You're thinking of killing me. I can sense your killing intent..."

The golden dragon was cursing inwardly. Did this human take him for a fool? What a brazen human. How dare this human target him? He had witnessed this human killing Red Armor with his own eyes. Thus, he was very wary of Su Yu.

He said, "The divines and devils are the ones making a move against you humans. It's not the dragons. The dragon race is very strong. Don't provoke us."

"That is absolutely not my intention."

Su Yu flashed a friendly smile. The dragon race? Yeah, yeah. He was quite familiar with dragons. Zhu Tiandao's favorite mount was a golden dragon as well. The second principal of the Great Xia Cultural Researcher Academy also had a dragon as a mount. That dragon was white in color. Su Yu wondered if that was a celestial dragon. After all, the celestial dragons were known for being white. But there was also a white dragon race among the dragons.

The only difference between the two was the number of claws. A celestial dragon had nine claws, a golden dragon had eight claws while a white dragon had seven claws. Su Yu was unaware of the number of claws the second principal's mount had.

It was quite unlikely for it to be a celestial dragon. That race was basically the equivalent of the first divine or the original devil races. At the seventh-stage Sunmoon Realm, they could kill opponents at the ninth-stage Sunmoon Realm. Thus, it was more likely for the mount to be a white dragon.

The young golden dragon continued stepping back while speaking, "Cui Lang, I did not provoke you. Don't even think of provoking me. There are plenty of targets for us to kill here. It is pointless for us to turn against each other. Don't forget that Lei Jue is looking for you."

"Yeah." Su Yu smiled again, "In that case, may I trouble you to make way for me, Brother Dragon? You happen to be standing in my way. It is indeed a bad idea for us to fight each other."

"Alright."

The golden dragon hurriedly dove into a nearby crack in the ground. As for Su Yu, he flew into the distance.

The golden dragon stared at the departing human as the look in his eyes changed repeatedly. This human felt extremely dangerous.

That thought had just crossed his mind when he heard the sound of thunder. A bolt of lightning shot toward him. With a casual swipe of his tail, the dragon blasted the bolt of lightning apart. Then, he soared into the sky and stared at Lei Jue.

Lei Jue's expression changed when he noticed who he was facing. He said, "I'm looking for someone. I do not intend to provoke the dragon race."

After a short silence, the golden dragon gestured behind him and said, "Cui Lang passed by not long ago. Lei Jue, if you try to scan me again, don't blame me for being impolite."

"My apologies for disturbing you, Brother Wu You."

Lei Jue wasn't too provocative toward the golden dragon. The golden dragon race was similar in strength to the lightning divine race. There was no need for him to get into a fight with this dragon. After saying that, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot ahead.

Looking at the departing figure, the golden dragon shrunk further before flying in the same direction. Perhaps he could try to see if there would be an opening for him to take advantage of. Both Lei Jue and Cui Lang felt dangerous to him.

"You will do."

After moving a long distance, Su Yu encountered another individual. This was a very familiar individual. This life form resembled a silkworm with the head of a dragon. This was none other than a silkwyrm!

This race was the greatest enemy of the Silk Destroying King. It was also a top 100 race. The silkwyrm felt a sense of danger. With a wiggle, he vanished into thin air.

Su Yu was first stunned. Then, his eyes flickered as he stepped forth and delivered a kick at empty air. He activated the Time technique, causing space to warp and throwing the silkwyrm back into reality.

The silkwyrm was stunned. He stared at Su Yu before asking, "Are you...the successor of Wang Hu?"

Wang Hu? Su Yu blanked out. Who was that? That wasn't a name he knew. Was that Silk Destroying King's name?

The silkwyrm race would definitely not address him as Silk Destroying King. The title of the other Invincibles could be used as an acknowledgment of their strength. But the silkwyrm race would be stupid to address someone by the title Silk Destroying King.

Su Yu couldn't be bothered to waste his time talking and attacked with another kick. He seemed to have realized something. The silkwyrm race was not weak at all. He seemed to have used a unique ability to hide in the void between space previously. As for the Time technique, it seemed to have been created exclusively to deal with this race.

The silkwyrm was furious to see the Time technique, but he soon discovered that this human wasn't as terrifyingly strong as he had imagined. He countered and spat a long thread of silk out.

The silkwyrm started moving around Su Yu rapidly. A short moment later, the surrounding area was already wrapped in a net of silk. The silk seemed capable of trapping space itself. The silkwyrm's eyes turned cold. This human's cultivation of the Time technique seemed quite shallow. This was a great opportunity. He would definitely be rewarded by his king for killing this human.

Killing the successor of Wang Hu was considered a great contribution to their race. For the silkwyrm race, killing Wang Hu's successor was a greater contribution than killing an enemy Sunmoon. After all, Silk Destroying King was the person who had attacked the Silkwyrm King so much that their king no longer dared to leave their realm.

As time passed, Su Yu found himself trapped in a massive net of silk. He constantly swung his saber, but the net of silk was too durable to be destroyed.

"This will be a great material for weaponsmithing."
