Chapter 2242: Kill, Escape (1)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Su Yu really wanted to tell her that he was not her boy.

But it wouldn't be appropriate for him to say anything. Just acknowledging South Heavenly King would mean that he was admitting to being the boy she was calling out to. Things would remain vague so long as he ignored her. That was the way to go about this.

Yes.

And thus, Su Yu ignored her. The rest didn't think too much about it. Even South Heavenly King had only exclaimed in excitement that Su Yu was truly reliable. She hadn't been thinking too deeply about the matter.

The backlash had heavily injured Evergreen and Longbrow. South Heavenly King and the others roared before dragging the two heavily injured powerhouses into Su Yu's world. The enemy Daofuses were ignored. They could simply kill anyone with the courage to get in their way.

Evergreen and Longbrow paled. They could no longer keep their calm. At this rate, they could very well die!

***

Meanwhile, Hundred Battle King was staring at Su Yu in silence.

Even with five Masters of Laws in their ranks, the myriad races did not dare to resist Su Yu. They were still flying toward Yu Qing and Yue Zhan. Elsewhere, Venerable Scrape of the devil race was showing signs of breakthrough as well. But at the moment, he was busy dealing with the rapid attacks by Heavenbridge Marquis.

As for Yu Qing, she started growing uneasy. She roared, "Hundred Battle!"

Hundred Battle King was supposed to kill Su Yu. Why was he not doing anything? Because of that, Su Yu was able to remove the restriction. Just what was Hundred Battle King waiting for? At this rate, even the newly summoned powerhouses would all die to Su Yu and his people.

The Hell Gate was still unable to release those who were truly strong. Furthermore, it could only release a limited number of people. That was not ideal since Su Yu would be able to slowly defeat them one at a time. This could very well lead to an ultimate defeat for their side.

***

Hundred Battle King exhaled lightly.

He looked at Su Yu and softly said, "Su Yu, let's stop here."

Su Yu smiled and said, "Are you going to say that you have more trump cards, but you don't wish to waste them on me?

"From how much you're hesitating and your lack of fear, you must be quite confident in this trump card. This must be quite a powerful trump card you don't want to waste on me."

Hundred Battle King frowned.

Su Yu grinned, "Let me...guess? Perhaps...Human Ancestor has some contingencies as well? Some secret guards? Or descendants? Or some other arrangement? In any case, this is something very powerful. Is that the case?"

Hundred Battle King's voice turned slightly heavy as he said, "Su Yu, I have to admit that you're very smart."

Su Yu laughed, "This isn't even new. It's normal for everyone to leave some contingencies behind for emergencies. Is the Human Ancestor supposed to place all his trust in uncertain variables like you lot? It is only natural that he has his own contingencies. These contingencies are probably somewhere among the giants, not the humans. Wait, are there more powerhouses hidden among the giants?"

Hundred Battle King's aura started stirring as his expression turned heavier.

Su Yu continued, "You are not the type to settle for second-best options. Following my previous guesses, Zhou Ji's Human Ancestor bloodline must be quite thick. In comparison, you are probably nothing special. Is Zhou Ji this trump card of yours?"

Su Yu grinned, "Is his mama someone special? Is she strong? An incredible powerhouse? Is his mama your trump card? Is his mama sealed somewhere? Is his mama a Master of Law? So is his mama free now?"

"..."

For some reason, it felt as though Su Yu was cussing instead of speaking normally. Then again, that was exactly what he was doing. He was insulting Hundred Battle King.

"Why? Why do you love placing your hope on others so much?" Su Yu said, "Hundred Battle, you are disappointing. Based on what I heard about you previously, I used to have high hopes for you. Based on your past reputation, you might be a tad bit dumb, but you're still strong and brave. But the truth is that you're cowardly, constantly waiting for someone else to save you."

It was likely that Hundred Battle King had stopped attacking after finding out how difficult it was to actually defeat Su Yu. That was even more so after Su Yu's world descended. Thus, his cowardly nature revealed itself again, stopping him from making further moves.

He decided to wait instead.

Su Yu asked, "You must be so happy that I've removed the restriction. Your giant wife was probably a victim of the restriction as well, right? Now, she can finally utilize her full strength. All thanks to me. You must have been waiting for your wife to arrive. Is that so?"

That was the only conclusion he could reach. Prior to this, all Masters of Laws were restricted in one way or another. Would Hundred Battle King's dao companion be weak? Definitely not. Hundred Battle King was not the type to settle for inferior options.

Hundred Battle King gave Su Yu a deep gaze and said, "Since you're so smart, why don't you guess if you can win this?"

"Guess?" Su Yu laughed, "Why should I? Where's your wife? If she's not coming, I'll be killing Evergreen and Longbrow. You won't enjoy losing two Masters of Laws that much, right?"

Su Yu's voice turned cold as he reminded, "Be on alert, South Heavenly King. Don't give Hundred Battle's giant wife a chance to ambush you. Everyone, watch out."

Just then

Boom!

A giant emerged out of thin air.

Hundred Battle King's eyes flickered.

The giant looked valiant. With one strike of the spear in her hands, she pushed South Heavenly King back before reappearing beside Evergreen and Longbrow.

Longbrow hurriedly greeted, "Holy Mother!"

"Trash."

The woman snorted before looking at Hundred Battle King with a frown.

She said nothing. Instead, she looked at Su Yu, her eyes gleaming as she said, "Su Yu, this seat knows you. The battle ends here. You are free to eliminate the myriad races. We still have use for Control King's lineage."

Su Yu sighed and said, "I see now. First, Hundred Battle's kid came to his rescue. Then, his wife came to his rescue. Since when is Hundred Battle so useless?"

Hundred Battle King's expression changed slightly.

Su Yu looked at the woman and smiled, "You should be thanking me for allowing you to regain your full strength. You must have suffered from the restriction as well. Am I right?"

The woman did not deny that. She nodded and said, "Before he left, the Human Emperor sealed the dao of the Myriad Realms. To hide from him, I did not dare to leave any contingencies behind. I have been waiting until today."

Su Yu laughed, "Why aren't you thanking me? Why don't you kill Hundred Battle to repay my favor? Kill Hundred Battle, Evergreen, Longbrow, and Yue Luo. If you do that, I'll agree to leave you alone. What do you think?"

"Don't you fear me?"

Step by step, he woman strode forth. With each step, space shattered. South Heavenly King's face fell as she sent a whip attack over, but the woman easily caught the whip before crushing it in her hand.

She shot South Heavenly King an indifferent gaze and said, "Wang Ziqi, unlike all these people here, I am no trash. You are too weak to face me."

She was incredibly strong, especially her physical body. Like Hundred Battle King, 720 dots of light could be seen in her body. In fact, her acupoints felt even more powerful than Hundred Battle King's.

Hundred Battle King was probably comparable to a stronger tier-four or a weaker tier-three Master of Law. Meanwhile, this woman felt as strong as Martial Emperor.

As for South Heavenly King, she was only a weaker tier-four Master of Law even with the boost provided by Su Yu. The gap between the two was quite big. South Heavenly King was ashen-faced. She had been given the mission to deal with Evergreen and Longbrow, but she had failed it.

The appearance of the woman caused the expression of the distant Thunderstorm to change slightly. After pushing Redmoon back with an attack, he flew toward her and greeted, "Thunderstorm greets the Holy Mother."

The woman nodded, but she said nothing.

After a short silence, Hundred Battle King said, "Kill Su Yu and all this will end."

He had indeed been waiting. The waiting was over.

The woman did not react to him. She looked at Su Yu and asked, "Do you think you can defeat me?"

Su Yu laughed, "Unlikely."

The woman nodded. She continued walking toward Su Yu while saying, "Gather up, everyone. Let's see if Human Emperor Su is really capable of eliminating all of us."

At that, Yue Luo, Yue Zhan, and even Yu Qing forced their respective opponents back before converging around her. Her arrival had given them a boost of confidence. She was finally here!

Not far away, Great Zhou King had an unsightly expression as he asked, "Are you Yu?"

The woman looked at Great Zhou King with a frown and nodded slightly, "You know of me?"

Great Zhou King inhaled deeply and answered, "Somewhat. I was even aware of Hundred Battle's encounter with you back then. However, I wasn't aware that you had been sealed until today."

The woman nodded, "I was sealed, but I could still move freely. You must have learned about it from Bing Ku and the others?"

Great Zhou King said coldly, "You were the culprit behind their deaths."

"Yes." Yu did not argue. There was no need for that. She said indifferently, "Hundred Battle has always been the descendant of Human Ancestor. Why should he serve Human Emperor? Isn't it normal for him to shift his allegiance?"

She was a Human Ancestor descendant as well. Then again, Human Ancestor had plenty of descendants. For example, those surnamed Zhou could probably be linked to him if they went back their family tree far enough.

Thus, it was no big deal for her to copulate with Hundred Battle King even if both were descendants of Human Ancestor.

Great Zhou King was showing signs of anger, which was rare for him. "Even if Hundred Battle does not wish to serve His Majesty the Human Emperor, everything he has was given by Human Emperor. He should have returned everything before leaving. But instead, he took everything before using it against humanity. Hundred Battle deserves death. You deserve death as well."

Yu laughed and asked, "Do you think Su Yu won't do the same?"

She looked at Su Yu and said, "Su Yu, if you're willing to stop here, you can get anything you want. Human Ancestor is capable of granting you things not even Human Emperor can."

Su Yu sank into contemplation. After a long silence, he asked, "Are you serious?"

"Of course."

"Sure. Can one of you kill yourself?" Su Yu asked with a mocking tone, "Give it a try?"

Instead of lashing out, Yu merely frowned slightly as she said, "You have been trying to return Human Emperor to the Myriad Realms. But what can that achieve? What can you get from that? It might bring disaster to you."

As she spoke, powerhouses converged around her. Hundred Battle King was keeping his aura locked onto Su Yu, preventing Su Yu from stopping the approaching powerhouses.

Su Yu laughed and looked at Great Zhou King. "Do you know her? Can you handle her?"

Great Zhou King had been hiding a lot of his trump cards. Was that in preparation of dealing with this woman? Were his trump cards capable of handling this woman?

Great Zhou King's expression changed slightly. After a long pause, he said, "No. Martial Emperor was supposed to be the trump card to deal with her. You saw Human Emperor's seal on him when he broke free. That was supposed to be the basis for a negotiation between him and me. But instead..."

Su Yu had ruined that plan.

Su Yu cursed, "So you have indeed been hiding more things from me! You could have released Martial Emperor at any time. Am I right?"

Great Zhou King said, "No. I need the right timing to do so. In my original plan, Martial Emperor should have been released at the same time as this woman. With the restriction gone, Martial Emperor would be stuck due to the additional seal while this woman was free. He would lose his mind, and I could then take the opportunity to negotiate a deal with him."

Great Zhou King added, "Your Majesty, don't underestimate this woman. She was the main reason for Hundred Battle's change. She is probably the key figure in this whole plan to bring Human Ancestor back."

After all, Hundred Battle King did not exist during the era Human Ancestor was active. But Yu might be a direct descendant of Human Ancestor. It was likely that Great Zhou King had noticed her existence in the previous epoch. That was why he had changed his plan and continued his wait.
