Chapter 935: Fighting To The Death (2)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Meanwhile, Su Yu was still busy killing.

Kill, kill, and kill.

Intense killing intent permeated the place.

Eventually, a natural character took form in his sea of willpower. It was his twenty-fifth character: death.

He had caused too much death. To the point even a natural death character appeared in his sea of willpower. The appearance of that character further defined the death qi on him, making him almost identical to an actual death spirit. The look in his eyes also turned colder than before.

He did not care about anything else. He only knew that these people needed to pay the price for trying to kill him. A majority of the death spirits in the city had converged near him. People like Qin Fang and the little furball would probably be fine as long as they didn't do anything stupid like roaming the streets alone.

However, everyone could forget about getting near him. Up in the sky, a total of twelve Mountainsea death spirits had appeared. That was a terrifying number. Both Final Armor and Jiu Xuan were still submerged in the sea of death spirits.

Their bodies were invaded by a constant stream of death qi. Clenching her teeth, Jiu Xuan's talisman started shaking. She was losing her patience. She wanted to kill all these death spirits before entering an ancient building deeper into the city. There, she could hole up and wait for reinforcements. But Final Armor was still unwilling to do so.

There were twelve Mountainsea death spirits around them. The moment they were killed, ancient death spirits would start appearing. More than one Sunmoon death spirit would appear. At that point, everyone who was still staying outdoors would die. None could survive.

He did not care about the lives of anyone else, but Silver Armor was still outdoors as well. The two of them were the only mystic armors left in the city. Everyone else had died. Jiu Xuan couldn't fully make up her mind either since Dao Cheng was still outdoors as well.

Perhaps killing these death spirits would give them an opening to run and seek shelter. But the others would remain clueless. How could those people prepare for the arrival of Sunmoon death spirits? The talisman in her hand grew brighter and brighter.

Finally, she sighed, "Let's kill them. Commander Final Armor, you're stronger. Voice transmission talismans have been disabled in the city. Use your cultivation and shout loudly at them to run..."

Suddenly, Final Armor said, "Why don't you try contacting the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion? Perhaps they have a solution."

Jiu Xuan's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly took out her index copy.

"Can you handle the death spirit crisis in Heavendoom City?"

"We have yet to find the source of the turmoil. We are unable to solve it for now."

The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was indeed trying to figure out the truth. But they had not been successful. Why were there more and more death spirits in the city? Was someone killing the death spirits? If that was the case, who was it?

***

Inside the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion, the faceless elder said, "Contact Su Yu. Ask him if he's the one causing this turmoil."

The masked man hurriedly did as told.

A short while later, he received a reply. He was so shocked even the color of his mask changed color. He exclaimed, "Elder, he claimed to be the culprit. He also said that if we want to know more, we need to send him the most yummy character in the Myriad Realms or he won't tell us more."

"Yummy his ass!"

The faceless elder was furious, "Ask him if he wants the delicious character of the divine race? Or the delicious character of the various races? Those characters must be very yummy."

Was it really Su Yu? He was unsure. If it was really Su Yu, then it would truly be a terrifying truth. How did he do it? Soon, a reply came.

"Sure. Send them all over."

"..."

The masked man said, "Elder, he seems to have agreed."

The faceless elder was rendered speechless.

"Tell him we can prepare those characters for him, but he needs to stop. Our people are in the city as well. If this continues, ancient death spirits will appear and even our people will suffer for it."

The masked man sent the message. After a short moment, he replied with an odd expression, "Elder, he said that he will kill all his enemies. And anyone still in the city right now is considered his enemy. If we don't want all our people to die, we better prepare some yummy characters for him. Otherwise, he will kill all of us as well."

"..."

The faceless elder's face twitched. That damn brat was getting way too cocky.

"There is no need to entertain him further. He might not even be the actual culprit. Not a single believable word has come from him in a while. His replies are too unreliable."

The faceless elder felt like every single word coming from Su Yu was a lie. He was finding it harder and harder to trust Su Yu. Forget it. They should stop wasting time on that fellow.

***

Inside the building.

The little furball was feeling quite dispirited. He was really looking forward to the transaction with the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion, but he had no way of contacting Yummy. And Yummy would not end the chaos just for some characters.

The little furball was sure of that. What a pity. He felt like those yummy characters had flown away right before entering his mouth. The little furball started plotting to have Yummy rob the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion of some yummy characters. If that wasn't possible, perhaps he could have his dada do it instead.

Yes. The little furball had recently learned a new concept: robbery.

In the past, the little furball knew nothing, including the concept of robbery. But that had changed.

He had been staying with the big furball since birth, and the big furball spent all his time sleeping. Thus, the little furball had been incredibly ignorant prior to this. But after following Su Yu, he had learned a lot.

Su Yu was basically his biggest mentor. The smart little furball had learned almost everything Su Yu had learned as well. Apart from his unwillingness to rid himself of his gluttony, he was no longer as innocent as he seemed.

That was how he came to consider robbing the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. The urge to do so planted its roots in his mind. At the same time, he also formed a new view of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion: a treasure trove.

***

While the little furball was thinking about robbing the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion, Su Yu was thinking about robbing Jiu Xuan. Or to be precise, he was thinking of robbing the jade talisman in her hand.

That was most definitely something she had obtained from an Invincible. It was too powerful. With that talisman in hand, no death spirits dared to approach her. Even the death qi around her started dispersing into nothingness.

But due to the excessively high number of death spirits in the area, the talisman was unable to fully cleanse the death qi in the area. And it was also weakening with usage.

Su Yu had his eyes on that talisman. That was most definitely a precious treasure. He was only worried that it would also carry the will of the Invincible who had created it. That would be very tricky to deal with.

But at the moment, Su Yu could do nothing except kill more death spirits.

Kill!

He continued killing death spirits under the cover of chaos.

At that point, twenty Mountainsea death spirits had gathered in the sky. Final Armor was reaching his limit. Even the dark spots on his body had joined into a large dark patch.

He looked at Jiu Xuan and sighed, "I'll warn them to hide. Prepare to use your talisman and kill them all. If we keep holding back, both of us will die."

They had no other choice.

Jiu Xuan nodded. With a frosty expression, she said, "I'll kill right after your shout. Don't worry. We'll live. As long as we escape this, my grandpa will be here to save us."

"Immortal King Xuan He?"

Final Armor was overjoyed, "The immortal king is coming?"

Yes, Jiu Xuan was a descendant of an immortal king. But not all descendants would receive so much care from an immortal king. Was she speaking the truth?

Jiu Xuan said, "Yes. I have a marriage agreement with Big Brother Dao Cheng. Neither the Dao King nor my grandpa will give up on this marriage alliance. Thus, they will be here for me."

The immortal race did not lack geniuses.

The index geniuses were merely a bunch of youngsters. There was no guarantee that they would actually grow into a powerhouse. Thus, her death would not be important enough to make an immortal king move.

But she was the tool to form an alliance by marriage with the Dao King, one of the strongest kings among the immortals. He was even stronger than her grandfather.

Like many other races, the immortal race was also split into factions. With factions, competition naturally existed. And her grandfather was in need of support from a powerful king.

Thus, he could not afford her death. Her death would ruin his plan to establish an alliance with one of the strongest immortal kings in existence.

During this travel out of the Immortal Realm, she had been constantly staying beside Dao Cheng. Her presence beside him had been rather inconspicuous. But both she and Dao Cheng knew what their relationship signified. Dao Cheng had been trying his best to prevent her from running around as he knew how desperate the Dao King was for the support of Immortal King Xuan He.

Final Armor was overjoyed to hear that. If a powerful immortal king was going to come here personally, they would naturally be saved. An immortal king would not take long to reach this place. His hesitation vanished as he roared loudly.

"Dao Cheng, Silver Armor, start hiding!"

"Dao Cheng, Silver Armor, start hiding!"

His voice reverberated in the city.

***

Not far away.

Both Dao Cheng and Silver Armor were alarmed. They did notice the massive concentration of death qi in a certain part of the city, but they had not imagined that Final Armor would be there. Their faces fell.

They could hear that Final Armor's voice had come out of the place with the thickest death qi. Start hiding?

Dao Cheng's expression changed as he realized something. Silver Armor clenched his teeth and said, "I'll go help my lord..."

"Nonsense. Are you trying to kill yourself?" Dao Cheng said, "Move. We need to hide indoors. Jiu Xuan is probably going to use her immortal king talisman. Hurry up. They are going to kill those death spirits. We need to hide!"

A crisis was about to erupt. The moment Jiu Xuan killed those death spirits with her immortal king talisman, ancient death spirits would start appearing. The city would sink into utter chaos.

Dao Cheng wasted no time and started dragging Silver Armor off, looking for a suitable building to serve as their shelter. They needed to go deep into the city. They needed a building in the inner rings.

It would be even better if they could find one near the mayor's residence. Even if the death qi there would be extremely dense, they had to take the risk. With the activation of the immortal king talisman, Immortal King Xuan He might appear soon.

At that moment, the people in the city finally learned that the people trapped amid the sea of death spirits were Jiu Xuan and Final Armor. The smarter ones started looking for suitable shelter as well. A disaster was coming.

Those lunatics were going to start slaughtering death spirits in large numbers. They wouldn't have given that warning otherwise. The geniuses and experts in the city reached the same conclusion.

As for the more foolish ones, they were still completely clueless. They were only shocked at how even a peak Mountainsea was in trouble, not realizing the implication behind that warning. Nobody bothered to warn these fools.

As far as they were concerned, the continued survival of such fools was basically a waste of space. And thus, a large number of people started rushing all over the city. Some even decided to crawl through a dog hole on one of the walls surrounding the mayor's residence. That might be even safer than hiding in any of these ancient buildings.

Naturally, people like Qin Fang also started rushing into the inner rings.
