Chapter 1841: Three Marquises Fall (2)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The various parties made their choices.

Some were already viewing this as the final war of the Lower Realm.

Su Yu had given them this perfect opportunity.

Boom!

Sounds of shattering glass rang out as space shattered. Su Yu was surrounded by various experts. It felt as though a single mistake had doomed him to his oblivion. He had made the wrong choice. He had picked death.

The myriad races had been planning to stay patient for now. They were more than happy to drag the matter out until the opening of the Upper Realm.

Devilroil Marquis had a cold smile on his face. His power of dao transformed into countless fists, clashing against Su Yu's pen dao. He couldn't see the various daos in detail, but he was proficient in the battles of daos.

Up in the sky, a pen and a fist engaged each other. The pen was being used like a saber. Behind, the Hou Pseudo Emperor unleashed his devouring force toward Devilroil Marquis.

Devilroil Marquis merely sneered and said, "Fool. I am an ancient marquis. The devils had countless Daofuses, but only a few of us were appointed marquises. Trash like you don't understand our strength."

Even more fists flew out. Devilish qi flooded the area.

With a roar, Su Yu wrote in the air with his finger.

Seal, suppress, break, destroy...

He wrote countless characters, but the characters were shattered by the myriad fists one after another. Then, all three of them stepped into the River of Time. This was a common sight in a battle between Daofuses.

Surrounded by raging waves on all sides, the waves transformed into even more fists. With a wave of Su Yu's hand, countless pens appeared and clashed against the fists.

Pens broke, fists shattered.

In the eyes of other observers, the three were standing still, with numerous corpses falling behind them. This was a clash of daos, just like the battle between the old turtle and Heavenly Overseer Marquis previously.

All the corpses were their dead dao clones. This was even more dangerous than a clash of actual bodies. A defeat would risk the collapse of their daos. They were all moving at an incomprehensible speed. Everyone could see that Su Yu's side had fallen into a complete disadvantage.

The two furballs were being beaten back by Tiangu and Talisman King. At the Devil Realm, Mo Ji and Mo Yue were no match for the old turtle. But the Ape Pseudo Emperor had arrived shortly after. Instead of heading toward the Human Realm, he had opted to join the battle nearest to his realm.

Together, the three were able to put up a fight against the old turtle. Everyone was certain that Su Yu's defeat was imminent. As for the primordial giants, they remained silent.

A Daofuse was missing from Su Yu's lineup while the myriad races had gained five additional Daofuses. Heavenly Overseer Marquis and Bountiful Treasure were nowhere to be seen, but the various experts could send their auras from the faraway boundless void. The two must have sensed the ongoing battle. Thus, they were also heading over from afar.

***

"It's your defeat, Su Yu."

Devilroil Marquis laughed. Tiangu had overestimated this man.

Su Yu maintained his grim expression and said nothing. Inwardly, he was wondering about how long Great Zhou King's group would take to kill Fallen Star Marquis.

Of the five experts in the group, Su Yu categorized Great Zhou King as a tier two expert. Great Qin King and Great Xia King were tier three experts. They also had the help of the book spirit and tea plant, and they only needed to handle Fallen Star Marquis, who would either be a tier three or two expert.

How long would they need to kill him? Those five were good enough to handle even a heavenly king.

"Defeat?" Su Yu snorted as he sent countless pen-blades out. "I still have Fat Ball by my side. How will I lose?"

He looked as though he was shouting in desperation and madness. Devilroil Marquis sneered again. Yes. He had heard of that mysterious expert. A dog, right? But the Divine Pseudo Emperor and the others were attacking the Human Realm. Could one dog defeat so many Daofuses?

Today would be the day humanity was fully defeated!

Boom!

The battle raged on in the River of Time. The support of the Hou Pseudo Emperor allowed Su Yu to resist Devilroil Marquis.

Devilroil Marquis was completely unworried.

Reinforcements were coming.

***

Fallen Star Marquis shared the same thought.

He only needed to keep his opponents occupied. He was unbothered about Great Zhou King. He could feel the approach of several Daofuses, but he could last a while against even several Daofuses. What was there to fear? They had more help coming!

The moment Great Zhou King arrived, he laid down a massive formation. The formation plate floated in the air, doing nothing but distorting the vision of others. As a response, Fallen Star Marquis swept his sword out, cutting space apart. He did not think it appropriate to allow the formation to exist.

Great Zhou King said nothing and continued laying down the formation. In such a manner, they went back and forth. Finally, he released a character. Four individuals emerged from the character.

Fallen Star Marquis blanked out. Who were the other two? His shock did not stop him from reacting appropriately. He only needed to focus on his defense. He did not intend to clash against them head-on.

But just then, all four of them erupted with full strength. And they were far stronger than Fallen Star Marquis had expected.

That was especially true for Great Xia King and Great Qin King. Together, they seemed to have transformed into a primordial beast. With its jaw opened, the beast bit down on Fallen Star Marquis' sword.

A crack rang out.

The sword shattered.

Spluuurt!

Fallen Star Marquis coughed a mouthful of golden blood with disbelief on his face. Impossible! Where did these two Daofuses come from?

They were unimaginably strong when joining hands. He could feel that he wouldn't be a match for even the two. And he was facing more than the two. The book spirit and tea plant were also there.

"At the beginning of the Yong'an Calendar, the Great River roiled. With my chains, I faced an ancient dao turned spirit. An evil spirit was bringing harm to the world. I eliminated the spirit and captured its dao..."

Once again, the book spirit started reading.

As he read on, a figure appeared in the sky. The figure held a chain in its hand, and only its back was visible. With one chain, a dao was shackled. Fallen Star Marquis' dao. In response, Fallen Star Marquis roared and resisted furiously, causing both his dao and the book spirit to shake violently.

Just then, Great Zhou King's dao trembled. The patient dao.

"Everything is bearable. Everything is fine. He can kill me, I can remain indifferent."

He chanted repeatedly, affecting Fallen Star Marquis with his dao. Suddenly, a certain thought emerged in Fallen Star Marquis' mind.

Be patient.

He should relax and allow them to kill him.

Relax and be still.

Be still. Be patient. They couldn't kill him.

That thought assaulted his mind violently. For a split second, his dao stopped resisting.

But soon, he shook himself awake. Fear was plastered all over his face as he realized what had just happened.

Next, Great Zhou King's voice rang out again, "A tranquil heart brings peace. Be calm. Killing me? The body is merely a useless skin for the soul. So what if I stay calm and patient?"

Boom!

The primordial beast tore an arm off Fallen Star Marquis. The intense pain woke him up. Once again, his dao shook as he restarted his resistance.

Great Zhou King continued chanting, "I shall be a saint. I am a saint. I shall feed all evil with my very body. I am patient."

Crack!

Fallen Star Marquis lost yet another arm. He shook his head madly. No! This wasn't right! He couldn't be patient!

Why should he be patient even after losing both arms?

No! He couldn't!

He must strike back! He must fight back! He must kill all these people. Madness seeped into his eyes, with a trace of confusion mixed within.

Great Zhou King's power of dao was incomparably powerful. Even so, he was already sweating heavily. He chanted, "Be patient! If he wishes to dominate me, I shall defeat him with the grace of my patience!"

"No...can't...be patient..."

Fallen Star Marquis' eyes flickered repeatedly as he struggled internally. Alas, he could no longer put up a proper resistance.

With the rich combat experience of Great Xia King and Great Qin King, they could naturally see just how terrifying this was. Both cursed inwardly.

Old Zhou was too creepy. Staying patient? That guy was in the middle of losing his life, yet Old Zhou was telling the guy to be patient. More importantly, Fallen Star Marquis also had his dao chained by the book spirit while facing Great Xia King and Great Qin King. He could no longer maintain his clarity of mind.

The mighty ancient marquis was on the verge of losing his mind from this peculiar combination of opponents. Meanwhile, the tea plant was staring blankly. This seemed so fun!

And thus, she sent countless vines out before binding Fallen Star Marquis' legs. Then, she spread the vines over his head. Fallen Star Marquis merely roared, but he did nothing to resist, as though he wasn't aware of what was happening.

Great Zhou King continued chanting, "Patience! Be patient! Peace shall arrive with a tiny bit of patience! Must be patient! Patience is the bringer of victories! Be patient"

"..."

With a crack, Fallen Star Marquis' legs were crushed. As he bled everywhere, some clarity returned to his eyes. He glared at Great Zhou King and roared, "No! I can't be patient!"

"Patience!

"No..."

The clash of their daos continued.

Great Xia King and Great Qin King looked at each other. Their anxiousness was gone. Both started gathering power, aiming to finish this opponent with a single hit. Why...did this feel rather easy?

The two smiled. Next, a saber and a spear appeared. The two started gathering power right in front of Fallen Star Marquis.

Above, the primordial beast also grew. Its massive beast trampled on the space as it prepared to stomp Fallen Star Marquis' dao apart.

Gathering power?

Great Zhou King cursed inwardly when he saw what they were doing. Did they not realize how exhausting this was for him? The two bastards seemed so relaxed!

"Be patient!"

"No..."

The same scene repeated itself. And finally, both Great Xia King and Great Qin King were done gathering power. One held a spear, the other held a saber. Both seemed incredibly powerful.

After exchanging a glance, they roared together, "Die!"

Hum!

The saber and spear descended.

Boom!

A deafening explosion rocked the area. Up above, the chained dao was trampled by a gigantic beast. With a rumble, the dao shattered. Down below, Fallen Star Marquis was instantly reduced to ashes. His sea of willpower had barely appeared when it was blasted apart as well.

"Be patient!"

Even now, Great Zhou King was still shouting. Everyone turned to look at him oddly. With his pale expression, he breathed heavily, ignoring their gazes.

"I was telling him to be patient and die silently."

The others couldn't find anything to say. This felt way too easy. Right at that moment, the entire world shook. Crimson clouds gathered in the sky while a rain of blood fell. Fallen Star Marquis had been patient until the very end.

Yes. He had been patient.

He held back from crying.

He held back from shouting.

Even his final thought was him telling himself he could still be patient. He could resist this.

And then, he met his end.

He had died instantly.
