Chapter 1463: Ruthless Su Yu (1)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

With Yang Hu's defeat, only three people were left in the hall.

Or to be precise, a death spirit, a devil, and a half death spirit were left.

Standing beside Xing Yue, Su Yu smiled and said, "Lord, let's just kill this guy while you're at it. This way, we can prevent the myriad races from finding out about our relationship."

"..."

Xing Yue stared at Su Yu coldly. Relationship?nThere was no such thing!

"Are you ordering me around?"

Seeing that Xing Yue was on the verge of raging, Su Yu coughed and bowed, "My respected lord sovereign, I beseech you to kill this man to prevent the myriad races from finding out about our close relationship. I am your most intimate subordinate."

At that, Xing Yue snorted. Mo Duona, who was dripping with sweat, hurriedly said, "Wait!"

He knew this would happen. Su Yu was brutal enough not to let go of a chance to kill him as well.

Mo Duona hurriedly took out a drop of black blood. He said, "Respected lord sovereign, this is a gift I have prepared for you. Please follow the ancient laws and depart upon accepting this gift."

Su Yu looked over with surprise. The drop of blood was so dark it looked more like a drop of ink. It also emanated faint traces of death qi. However, it didn't feel quite similar to death spirit blood essence.

Was this Mo Duona's trump card? What was this?

Xing Yue stared at the drop of blood. After a short moment, she frowned and said, "Death blood? Where did you get it?"

Mo Duona was surprised. Wasn't she supposed to take it and leave? Were death spirits gossipy as well?

However, he had no choice but to explain, "Lord, this is the blood a previous Pseudo Emperor of the devil race obtained from the Celestial River of Death back then. According to the ancient laws, you can't kill me after accepting this blood."

Yes. The laws. The laws here were slightly different than the laws outside. Simply put, the death spirits here could be bribed. They could be paid off with ancient city medallions.

Most treasures wouldn't satisfy death spirits. In any case, most death spirits weren't smart enough to accept those treasures. However, death sovereigns were different. They were willing to participate in equal exchanges. In fact, Mo Duona had been prepared to deal with death spirits before carrying out this plan. Xing Yue looked at the blood longingly, seemingly on the verge of accepting.

Just then, Su Yu said, "Lord, you will need to leave after taking it. I suggest you forget about it. Just injure him heavily. If the laws do not allow you to take the blood, I can kill him and gift the blood to you instead."

Realization struck Xing Yue.

Right!

Once again, Mo Duona started sweating. He stared at Su Yu with astonishment. He had prepared for all sorts of situations, but he had not expected Su Yu to be close to a death sovereign. More importantly, Su Yu looked very close to this death sovereign. There seemed to be a special relationship between them.

Yes, the laws would prevent the death sovereign from killing him after he offered his gift. But Su Yu was here as well. Mo Duona was sweating. He wasn't scared...No, that wasn’t true. He was slightly scared.

More importantly, he didn't know what to believe anymore.

Why was a random death sovereign someone close to Su Yu? He hurriedly said, "Wait! Su Yu, this cooperation will benefit you as well! I wouldn't have looked for you otherwise! Remember this! I didn't make things difficult for you even after finding out about your identity!"

Mo Duona was proud and arrogant.

He was so arrogant that he would not deign to kill those weaker than him. He rarely laid hands on weaklings. He had the strength to back his arrogance. He did not fear death. He was unwilling to bow to anyone. However, he was facing Su Yu.

Yes. Su Yu.

Someone younger, stronger, prouder, and more talented.

Someone who had escaped numerous hopeless situations again and again.

Someone who had risen amid one disaster after another.

A human abandoned by the human race. A human who had been able to gather other backers. A human backed by Invincibles, Pseudo Invincibles, and even death spirits… A human the myriad races wanted dead yet still alive. He was unkillable. He would always rise again. Again and again, those attempting to kill him died.

Thus, Su Yu was the sole person Mo Duona respected. Geniuses like them would not respect even Invincibles. For them, it was only a matter of time before they were Invincibles as well.

The Invincibles, who had offended them, would need to kill them now or die to them in the future. Such was the thought of these geniuses.

Such arrogance was not reserved for those who were freaks as well. Thus, Mo Duona was willing to bow to Su Yu. He said, "Su Yu, I am serious about this! I am sincerely seeking cooperation with you!"

Before Su Yu could say anything, Xing Yue started raging. He...was begging Su Yu instead of her! How dare he? What was the meaning of this? Was he looking down on her?

Definitely!

In her fury, Xing Yue threw a palm attack at Mo Duona. Mo Duona was alarmed. What was this?

"Lord, the death blood..."

Mo Duona retreated and reminded Xing Yue that he had offered the treasure. This was in line with the laws.

"A great death sovereign will never be bound by these things."

Xing Yue roared furiously, but she was still staring at the drop of blood longingly.

Su Yu laughed and said, "Just kill him, Lord. It's fine. Even if the laws prevent you from picking up the treasure after that, I'm here. I can loot the corpse for you."

"..."

That was driving Mo Duona crazy.

He knew that Su Yu was the key here. He said, "Su Yu! This will benefit you greatly! I know how you can get the nine-leaf skylotus!"

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"Please tell the great lord to hold back..."

Su Yu raised his voice, "Are you bargaining with me? What do you take my lord as? Who am I to stop her? Lord Xing Yue will naturally make an informed decision after hearing what you have to say. How dare you insult my lord? Lord, kill him!"

Originally, Xing Yue was quite unhappy about this. Why must she kill just because Su Yu was saying so? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

But these words greatly improved her mood. She snorted and said, "I don't need your advice. I can decide what to do for myself."

Su Yu said, "Yes, Lord! You're right!"

He now understood the way to keep Xing Yue under control. She only cared about her face. It would be rude of him to keep making her lose face. He might need more help from her in the future.

Mo Duona was relieved to see that Xing Yue had stopped approaching him. He took the chance to say, "Su Yu, can we talk outside? This isn't a good place to talk..."

Su Yu disagreed, "No. This is a good place to talk. With my lord's appearance, the residence has been locked. This is different from the ancient cities where even Sunmoons can lock the cities."

At that, Su Yu blanked out slightly before muttering, "Right...sealing the residence. In that case...the nine-leaf skylotus..."

He stared at Xing Yue.

Mo Duona knew what Su Yu was thinking about. he said, "That won't work. The moment the skylotus blooms, it will break through all seals. It is related to timespace. That is not something the residence can control."

Thus, Su Yu should forget about using Xing Yue to snatch the skylotus. Once again, Mo Duona wiped his sweat. He had to make that clear. He had to keep himself useful or Su Yu would kill him. Since he had decided to cooperate with Su Yu, he had naturally done some research about Su Yu.

Xing Yue said, "That's right. Also, don't dream of getting my help, Su Yu. That won't happen. I am a great death sovereign. You're merely one of my half death spirits."

Su Yu merely gave a perfunctory reply, "Yes, yes, yes. You're right, Lord."

Why was she calling herself a great death sovereign all the time? What was so great about her? If she were so great, she wouldn't have died.

Mo Duona suddenly realized something else. He grew even more alarmed.

This was the death sovereign who had converted Su Yu!

Holy shit!

What did this signify?

He reached a certain conclusion. Xing Yue had traversed the dangerous Death Realm all the way to the mansion just to help Su Yu.

Holy shit!

How...terrifying.

Mo Duona was aware of how dangerous the Death Realm was. Even death sovereigns could die traversing the Death Realm. However, Su Yu's death sovereign had come personally.

Just to help him.

She must have fought many death sovereigns to exit the tunnel. All death sovereigns were territorial. She wouldn't have been able to exit the tunnel without fighting the existing death sovereigns here.

Numerous thoughts emerged in Mo Duona's mind.

From only a few words, he imagined numerous dramatic scenes.

Xing Yue and Su Yu...To save him, Xing Yue had converted Su Yu into a resident. Since then, she had been protecting Su Yu. Perhaps even Su Yu's ability to recruit the stone statues was related to Xing Yue.

No wonder.

No wonder Su Yu could transform into a death spirit. No wonder Su Yu wouldn't die even with so much death qi in his body.

So that was how it was.

Mo Duona was touched by this love story.

If Su Yu wasn't so brutal, and if Xing Yue wasn't so scary, he would have wished their love a happy ending.

This was the type of love even a devil like him longed for.

He stared at the two with envy and admiration.

A love across races...no, a love across life and death.

He had seen love across races before. But love across life and death...was too rare.
