Chapter 932: If Su Yu Wants You To Die At Three (2)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Inside the city.

Death qi flooded the streets while death spirits were roaming all over the city.

As for the gates, they were slowly shutting. Su Yu wasn't too bothered about that. Dao Cheng and Silver Armor noted that as well. They had no clue what was happening. Their only choice was to enter the city before the gates were completely shut.

Meanwhile, Su Yu continued roaming the city.

He noticed Flame Armor's death, and he didn't think too much about it. He only felt slightly regretful that the heavens did not consider that his kill. So be it. That was merely a first-stage Mountainsea.

Soon, he noticed yet another occupied building with its door open. Two experts could be seen inside.

One was male while the other was female. The male was a second-stage Mountainsea while the female was a Cloudbreach. This was a standard composition of a young genius and a dao protector.

But a second-stage Mountainsea was a tad too weak to serve as a dao protector. They were probably at the Plain of Desires before. If one was too strong, one could easily get lost there. Thus, when a young genius was exploring that place, they would rarely take a dao protector who was overly strong with them.

Su Yu focused and noted that both of them were humanoid, but he could still see which race they were from.

"This is...the ancient wing race?"

He noticed the wings folded on their backs. This was a powerful race, also one of the top 100 races. It was somewhat related to the six-winged divine race, so it could be considered a subordinate race of the divine race.

"They are killable."

Finally, he found some suitable targets. He was overjoyed.

When he stopped outside the building, the female said, "Commander Jin, there are too many death spirits here. They are everywhere. Look, there's one standing right outside. Should we shut the door?"

"It's only a Skysoar death spirit..." The Mountainsea glanced at Su Yu and said, "We can shut the door, but I'm worried that we will be cut off and miss out on what's happening. Something is off about this place. I think the better option is to leave as soon as possible."

"An Mintian is refusing to leave. He said that he might need our help..."

Hearing that, the Mountainsea commander could only remain silent. The ancient wing was a subordinate race of the divine race. And An Mintian was a genius of the divine race. Since he required their assistance, it wouldn't be proper for them to leave.

However, the commander still couldn't forget how all the people who had followed An Mintian had died.

The death spirit was still outside. This further worsened the commander's mood. Unfortunately, they couldn't kill this death spirit.

Killing one would provoke powerful death spirits to appear. This was the most annoying part of these death spirits. While he was thinking, he suddenly noticed that the death spirit seemed to have moved nearer to their door.

"Is it trying to enter?"

The commander laughed in amusement. Only Mountainsea death spirits could try to force their way into occupied buildings. A mere Skysoar death spirit like this...

He couldn't even complete his thought when a ray of blade light flashed toward him. This blade light was not formed of source qi. Rather, it was formed of death qi.

Wait...were death spirits proficient in saber techniques as well? That was the commander's final thought before his head was sent flying to the sky.

The female genius exclaimed in shock. She turned into a bird and tried to escape, but Su Yu had stepped into the building and shut the door behind him. There was nowhere for her to run.

"Who are you?"

She could barely say anything before her head was severed as well. A clump of cloud appeared above Su Yu. He wasted no time and collected the two corpses. Inside him, a clump of heavenly source qi was being digested. Hissing sounds rang out as it clashed with the death qi in his body.

Shortly after, he opened the door and vanished into thin air. The door swung shut after he vanished. Behind the door, puddles of fresh blood were left on the ground. Thanks to that, more death spirits spawned outside the building.

***

Once again, the index copies shook.

An Mintian took a look and his expression changed instantly. The genius from the ancient wing race was dead. He rushed out of his building. Tianduo, Lan Ying, Long Zhan, the little golden dragon, and even Qin Fang were also walking out of their buildings.

Qin Fang shrugged, "Don't look at me. I have been here all along. This damn place is too unsettling. I'm already thinking of leaving. Are you guys leaving?"

Things were getting too strange. Yet another index genius had perished. Sure, that was only a Yellow Index genius. But that was still a genius who had prevailed over countless others to enter that index. That was someone capable of killing someone above her level. But she had died in such a mysterious manner.

Where was her corpse? Where did she die? Was it inside or outside the city? An Mintian knew that it must have happened in the city. He had notified them to not leave the city for now. It was unlikely for them to ignore his words. She also had a second-stage Mountainsea as her dao protector.

Were both of them dead? Who was the killer? An Mintian's expression turned incomparably solemn. Should he remain in the city?

Right at that moment, Dao Cheng and Silver Armor returned. Dao Cheng was sighing endlessly. He really didn't feel like returning. But Silver Armor looked like he was going to turn on them if he didn't agree. Thus, he had no choice but to return.

When he noticed a bunch of people out in the streets, he indifferently said, "We're now all in the same boat. The city gates have been shut."

"What?"

Everyone was alarmed.

Dao Cheng coldly said, "The city gates are shut, and only Mayor Tian He or Commander Tian Men can reopen the gates with their medallions. I don't know what's going on, but I can see that the death qi in the city has increased beyond what's normal. If this continues, we will need to leave in three days or we will all die from the death qi."

Silver Armor was not in the mood to care about all those people. He approached Final Armor and asked, "Lord, earlier..."

Final Armor solemnly asked, "Why did you return so early?"

"The city gates were being shut. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to come in after. Where's Flame Armor?"

"Dead."

"..."

Silver Armor was alarmed. "Who did it?"

"Death qi erosion."

Silver Armor couldn't believe it.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed in shock, "Shit! The city gates are shut. How are we supposed to leave? There are death spirits everywhere. What should we do here?"

This was too dangerous.

Dao Cheng said, "We'll have to act according to the circumstances. I doubt Mayor Tian He wants to see all of us dead here in his city. The gates can be shut...but they can be opened as well."

They were out of options. Just what was happening here? Suddenly, the death qi in the city surged abruptly. Dao Cheng's expression changed. The same happened to An Mintian and a few others.

"A Mountainsea death spirit has appeared."

This damn place was getting more and more dangerous. The number of death spirits kept increasing. They had no choice but to return to their buildings. But they all left their doors wide open, giving them a clear look at the numerous death spirits roaming the streets.

Ten, twenty, thirty...

There were too many of them. The city seemed to have turned into a kingdom of the dead.

Looking at Final Armor, Dao Cheng sighed, "Brother Final Armor, I think trouble is coming."

Final Armor said nothing. He stared at Su Yu's building in silence. After a long while, he spoke, "When will the immortal reinforcements arrive?"

"Within a day or two."

"Then, we wait."

Final Armor said, "My race has lost four Mountainseas so far."

At this point, giving up was no longer acceptable to him. Dao Cheng sighed as well. That was the same message he had received from the immortal race. He was told to hang on and not leave.

The experts of various races were heading over. They had to hang on and kill Su Yu inside the city.

For the sake of killing Su Yu, the various races had deployed their Sunmoons to the city. Some of them even had to go through the Plain of Desires to get here. That was a very dangerous thing for Sunmoons to do. But to kill Su Yu, that was a price they were willing to pay. Su Yu was an individual with an Invincible ruin and the inheritance of the multiple character faction on him.

He was also an abnormally gifted genius. The various races would not be able to sleep well before killing him.

"Then, we wait."

Dao Cheng said, "From now on, let's stay indoors. After a day or two, the experts of the various races will be here. We will then try to get the gates opened. For now, Mayor Tian He seems to have shut down even the mayor's residence. He's trying to ignore all of us."

His status in the immortal race was not high enough. A mere young genius was not enough to deal with the ruler of an ancient city. Someone with a higher status from a major race was needed to actually negotiate with the mayor.

***

Kill!

With a rumble, yet another death spirit died in Su Yu's hands. A Mountainsea death spirit appeared almost instantly after that. Incredibly dense death qi accompanied the arrival of the Mountainsea death spirit.

Even Su Yu was finding it uncomfortable, so the rapidly moved away. As for the Mountainsea death spirit, it drifted about in the area, confused. Suddenly, it slapped a random door open. Behind the door, a large tiger was listening attentively to the sounds outside.

Suddenly, the tiger blanked out before turning pale with fright.

"Death—"

The death spirits were starting to break through the locked doors!

Whoosh!

A wave of death qi swept into the building, instantly transforming the tiger into a corpse riddled with death qi. The Mountainsea had killed someone right after appearing. Then, it left the building and started roaming the city.

It did not do anything to the resident. However, it started attacking the buildings with non-residents in them. The behavior of the death spirits seemed to have changed after failing to look for the killer of the death spirits for so long.

Slaughter.

They were now slaughtering every living being in their way.

Outside the eighteenth ring, a Mountainsea death spirit was capable of entering any locked building. Thus, the first Mountainsea death spirit to appear immediately unleashed slaughter everywhere it went.

Not far away, Su Yu was stupefied as he witnessed everything.

Holy shit! What was going on? The death spirit was cracking open these buildings to kill the people inside?

Holy shit! This was too terrifying.

He rushed back to the previous building and noticed the newly deceased tiger. The corpse was still intact, and even the storage ring was still present.

"What...is this?"

The death spirit would do the killing while he would be cleaning up? That...seemed nice!

"So these Mountainsea death spirits are capable of opening a locked door?"

The safe houses were no longer safe.

Su Yu looked ahead of him and saw the Mountainsea death spirit opening the door of a different building. Only the residents were left undisturbed.

Only one Mountainsea death spirit had appeared so far.

A new idea emerged in Su Yu's mind. Killing a high-stage Cloudbreach would result in the appearance of a Mountainsea death spirit. What if more Mountainsea death spirits were to appear?

Would he be able to get all those people killed without fighting them himself? At that thought, a cruel look appeared in his eyes. In that case, it was time for all of them to die.

Damn them all. How dare they surround him. Fine. All of them would die now. Dao Cheng and company had been constantly sticking together. But that no longer mattered. They would die even if they stuck together.

Of course, things might get troublesome for the little furball and Qin Fang. But he had no other options. At worst, he would try to help them when things got dangerous for them. After all, he was now a death spirit as well.
