Chapter 567: Southbound (3)

High in the sky, the dao protectors were also conversing with each other through voice transmissions.

"This Su Yu is very murderous. Sure enough, the multiple character faction is filled with psychopaths."

Those bandits had been killed in the blink of an eye. Su Yu was definitely aware that these weren't cultists, yet he had shown no mercy. As bandits, these people wouldn't even be executed upon capture.

A different dao protector said, "So be it. A genius would not be able to grow without tasting blood. But this kid is indeed a tad bit too murderous. Didn't he say that he would let the others deal with those below the Skysoar Realm?"

Nobody said anything. Su Yu had probably fought personally because he believed that the others might spare the attackers. Thus, he had decided to deal with the attackers himself and kill them all to save time.

Suddenly, one of them asked, "Why are all the beasts in the wilderness so aggressive recently?"

Not far away, ashy fog could be seen rising into the sky. A group of beasts were charging toward Su Yu's group, looking like they had been provoked by something.

Looking at the incoming beasts, Su Yu's eyes flickered. When he gazed at the students behind him, Zhou Hao said, "These are ash rhinoceroses. Their strength generally varies between the Great Strength Realm and the Skysoar Realm. This is one of the stronger beasts you can encounter in the wilderness. In fact, they are quite common. For some reason, this group has been provoked..."

He cautiously said, "Someone must have ruined their lair in secret. Be careful."

At least seventy or eighty ash rhinoceroses were charing in their direction. These beasts were massive, and they looked rather strong. The leader of the group was a Skysoar beast. In the wilderness, a group like this could be considered quite strong. After all, this was the Human Realm. Thus, Skysoar beasts were very rare.

With a smile, Su Yu tapped at the suanni's torso and said, "Charge."

The suanni charged forward unhesitatingly. The saber in Su Yu's hand started shining. In the blink of an eye, Su Yu arrived in front of the beasts. The leader roared and rammed its head in Su Yu's direction with bloodshot eyes the moment it saw Su Yu.

"Die!"

With a flash, the saber cleaved forth and separated the massive head of the beast from its body. Next, Su Yu soared into the sky and stabbed his saber into a different beast. A loud pop sounded.

The beast burst apart, allowing a small silhouette within its body to shoot toward Su Yu with a pair of daggers.

With a cold snort, Su Yu utilized the Suppressing Sunmoon move. That was the second move of the Time technique. He was able to activate it instantly, stomping the attacker right into the ground. With a rumble, the ground solidified while the small silhouette burst apart.

That was an assassin. This assassin was decent at concealment, but he was too impatient. He had sent his senses over to spy on Su Yu, allowing Su Yu to detect him immediately. Just like that, a fifth-stage Skysoar assassin that had killed even a seventh-stage Skysoar before was killed.

With a wave of his hand, a dagger and a merit card flew into Su Yu's hand. With a smile, Su Yu sent his saber into the sky. Then, lightning bolts rained down on the beasts, instantly killing a large number of them.

Only then did the other students arrive. They started engaging the beasts in battle. But a few of them were constantly looking at Su Yu in shock.

Ji Xiaomeng asked curiously, "Is that really a Skysoar? Did you stomp him to death? A Skysoar? How did you even notice him?"

"That beast looked fat."

Su Yu gave a random excuse. This group of beasts was not too weak. The leader of the beasts was even strong enough to contend against a seventh-stage Skysoar. Coupled with that assassin, it wasn't surprising that a regular Skysoar could be killed with this encounter.

But Su Yu was no ordinary Skysoar.

"This is probably a cultist."

Someone here just to assassinate him was very likely to be a cultist. Su Yu was sure of that. He couldn't even be bothered to waste his time on investigation. He only needed to know that these attackers were his enemies and kill them all.

This was what he wanted when he requested that the dao protectors allow the weaker attackers to approach them. He wanted to temper his blade. Having reached the ninth-stage Infinite Strength Realm, Su Yu wanted to use slaughter to finish the fusion of the acupoints for his techniques. With sufficient slaughter, he would naturally be able to grow more. And fusing more acupoints would also increase his offensive strength.

This journey to the south was also a journey for him to strengthen himself. Thus, he would be more than happy to see more enemies. It would be even better if he could fight some eighth-stage or ninth-stage Skysoars. He really wanted to see if he could kill such opponents without relying on blood essence.

While the others were fighting the remaining beasts, Su Yu took out a jade talisman and placed the Skysoar beast into the talisman. This was a one-use storage talisman Su Yu had purchased. This talisman could only used for storage for now. The moment he took out the items within, the talisman would be destroyed.

The talisman had quite a large storage space.

Since this was a Skysoar beast, he would put it away to extract its blood essence later. The blood essence of a Skysoar beast wouldn't be cheap. He could also use the corpse to claim the merit points promised for any enemy slaughtered.

Su Yu would naturally not mind having more money in his pocket. Additionally, he would also be rewarded for the Skysoar cultist he killed. He would note this kill down and claim the reward at a later date. After all, he could do so in any human prefecture.

As for those below the Skysoar Realm, he didn't have much interest in them. It wasn't like he could earn much from killing enemies of this level.

After a while, he looked around and noted that all the beasts had been killed. Zhou Hao in particular, was extremely speedy when killing these beasts. He had been aiming exclusively at the Great Strength and Infinite Strength beasts. Fighting Zhou Hao was akin to suicide for these beasts.

"Beast disturbance...but they're coming straight at me..."

A different question appeared in Su Yu's mind. Was this the work of the hidden assassin? Or was there a different reason? He was a well-read person. He was aware of some items that could drive some beasts into madness.

Was someone in the group carrying such an item? Was that why the beasts had decided to attack them? Or was this the work of his enemies? Was Xia Qing and her friends carrying something like that?

He looked at the group and sneered inwardly. Apart from a select few of them, everyone else was suspicious. Even among the humans, he was suspicious of everyone except Zhou Hao.

"This won't be a peaceful trip. So be it."

Su Yu smiled. This might be a good thing for him. As a cultivator, was he supposed to reach the Invincible Realm through meditation alone? No, slaughter was required as well. Slowly, the blood around them vanished.

Su Yu was allowing the blood character to absorb all the blood around them. If his blood character could reach the third tier, it would also benefit him even if it would put more pressure on his sea of willpower. At the third tier, the blood character could probably fool even Cloudbreach cultivators with its illusions.

After the battle, everyone stopped moving. They were tired. Every single one of them was gasping for breath.

However, some of them had actually slacked during the fight. For example, Ji Xiaomeng. She had spent the entire fight facing only a single beast. Even after the fight, she had spent a long time crouched beside the beast's corpse to study it.

Su Yu couldn't be bothered to say anything. He would be happy as long as she didn't create trouble for him.

The panting and blood-soaked Zhou Hao said, "We aren't even that far from the capital yet. If this continues, we will probably take several days to reach Nanyuan."

The battle had been tiring. They needed some time to recover as well.

Su Yu smiled, "It's fine. We are supposed to be killing beasts for this mission anyway. The more we kill, the better the reward would be."

Seeing that Su Yu himself was in no rush, Zhou Hao said nothing else. He sat down cross-legged and started recovering his strength through meditation. The others did the same. Su Yu was the only exception as the short fight was not enough to exhaust him.

High in the sky, someone said through a voice transmission, "This kid sure is impressive. He killed a fifth-stage Skysoar like he was killing a chicken. Is he really a Mental Tempering student?"

No, right? They felt like Su Yu would need less effort to kill a Skysoar than they would need to kill a Great Strength cultivator. Of course, a large part of Su Yu's combat strength came from his cultivation at the ninth-stage Infinite Strength Realm.

He was also at the peak of the Mental Tempering Stage. And he had opened over 300 acupoints. Even his cultivation method was a top-tier heaven-grade method. And he also had a heaven-grade martial technique. One could say that he was already standing at the very peak of his peers.

"Old horse, why don't you go ahead of us and scout the path? That fifth-stage Skysoar assassin was almost able to hide from me. It's better for us to start scouting ahead..."

"Me? What if something happened to my prince during my absence?"

"Don't worry. There are so many Mountainseas here. We won't neglect him."

"Fine. I'll go..."

Su Yu was unaware of the conversation between the Mountainseas. But he wasn't bothered about them either. His hope did not lay on these dao protectors. If his guesses were right, these dao protectors would probably start splitting up before long. That was understandable.

Standing there, Su Yu waited as the others rested. Meanwhile, the suanni was stealing glances at Su Yu as his heart thumped madly. He had witnessed something incredible today. Were Skysoars so easy to kill?

No wonder this fellow had talked about killing him so many times. This human was a monster.
